Incorrect file name when importing pictures from camera

I am using PE 10 on Mac Snow Leopard.
When I import pictures from my camera and select "Rename Files" with "Custom Date" + "Shot Date" (any format), the file name includes the custom name correctly, but the date part of the file name is some random date (with a weird year: 1913, 1969). Note the example shown on the Photo Downloader is usually the one used. The shot date in the meta data is usually correct. This appears to be similar to a problem when using the "Create Subfolder" option.
Any ideas why or a work-around?
I was using PE 8 and did not have this problem.

Hi dannrendon2,
Have you successfully run the PSE10_Hot.dmg file? You will not see any change in PSE10 or PhotoDownloader , it is just for fixing the issue of incorrect date format .
Please follow all the steps mentioned in KB article link mentioned above. Finally when you installed the updater there would be a message of successful installation .
If there is a failure in your updating process [In your case it is second attempt of updation, there may be a failure] , uninstall your application , check if there is any residual file in application folder under Elements Organizer or Photoshop Elements (delete them). Now again install PSE10 and try to update PSE10_HotFix.dmg updater. There should be a successfully completed message.
Thanks,
Nizam

Incorrect subfolder dates when importing photos from camera

I installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 on my iMac a few days ago to try it out. When I import photos from a camera (I have tried with 2 different cameras) in Photoshop Elements Organizer, I am asked to select a naming format for the subfolders. I select "Shot Date (yyyy mm dd)", but no matter what, I always get folders with strange dates eg. 1913 11 05, 1970 06 10. The photos themselves within the subfolders have the right dates, so I am not sure where the problem is.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Make sure your prefs are set to date shot - there are a number of choices.
Open the Organizer and click Edit à Preferences à Camera or Card Reader
Choose your setting from the dropdown menu and click OK.

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

Importing pictures from camera roll while maintaining folders

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to import pictures from the I have on my iPhone (that are in folders) and put them on my pc while keeing them in those folders?
Example:
After having some 2000+ pictures on my iphone, when IOS 5 came out i started putting them in folders...
I have Folder 1, Folder 2, and Folder 3, etc on my iPhone.
Is there a way that I can import those folders with their contents onto my pc without importing all the pictures seperately, sorting them, and remaking all the folders?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You can use the app PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer while maintaining your folder structure.

Incorrect file name when downloading an attachment on MSIE 6.0

Hi guys,
Need some help, please,
In a web application on a user request a CVS file is generated with a servlet.
The problem is that when the user press the download button in the file dialog appears an incorrect file name ( instead of the right one, the name of the struts-action ), this is happening only in MSIE, with Firefox is working ok.
Here is the snippet:
response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Pragma","");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","");
String externNo = "some_file_name";
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""
+ externNo + ".csv\"");
... setting the content ...
I've found lots of topics about this subject, and try different settings for servlet header ( Cache-Control - public,etc), but still without success.
Can this be from a server setting?? We have 2 j2ee serversone on linux and one on windows. And the problem is only for the linux server, which I'm not sure if it have the same configuration.
Thank You
A nice day!
Bogdan

Hi,
In the file dialog should be "some_file_name.csv" but is "saveorderincsv".
Here is the code from jsp:
   function savePressed() {
       top.location.href = '/b2b/saveorderincsv.do';
       return true;
<input
     class="green" type="button"
        onclick="savePressed()"> .....
config.xml:
<action path="/b2b/saveorderincsv"
     type="com.moeller.isa.action.salesdocs.SaveOrderToCSVAction">
               <forward name="success" path="/b2b/saveorder" />
     </action>...
web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SaveOrderToCVSServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.moeller.isa.servlets.Z_SaveOrderSimulateServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>SaveOrderToCVSServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>b2b/saveorder</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
....I've also try with "application/x-download" and without quotes, but still the same error.

LR 5.2 hangs when importing pictures from the SD reader (Macbook)

Hi, I'm experiencing problems when importing pictures in Lightroom. The context is
- Lightroom 5.2
- Nikon D600 (always RAW files)
- SDHC SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB (UHS-I, 95MB/s)
- Macbook pro 15" early 2011 (high def matte screen) running Mac OS 10.7
I have a recurrent problem when importing pictures in Lightroom using the built-in SD reader. LR starts the process ok but a few seconds later it seems to stop. If I click on a picture I get "preview not available". Even when (after a long long time) the importing finishes, the pictures are corrupted and I have to start it again.
The only solution I've found so far: try once and again (ejecting the card doesn't work, so I get several messages: 'disk not unmounted cleanly' or something similar) until it works smoothly. Usually 3 or 4 re-tries are needed. It goes worse with the number of pictures: the more pictures I have in my SD card, the more likely it will hang repeatedly. Very disappointing...
Any help would be welcome. Thanks!
Cheers, German

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. Be sure to not delete the photos after importing into the library.
If you are able to import into the new library try repairing your current library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

"the system cannot find the path specified" when importing pictures from iphone

Hi!
I have an iPhone 5s. My computer is a Windows, with the Windows 8 OS. I have never had a problem importing pictures from my iPhone to my computer until recently. Now, whenever I try, I get this error message:
The following error occurred while importing IMG_1022.JPG:
The system cannot find the path specified.
What do you want to do?
Try again
Skip this file
Skip all files with errors"
I have tried again. I have tried skipping files. Either way, the photos and video will not import from my phone. It is filled up now and I cannot download anything else, or take any more pictures, until I get these files off the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi JeffWilko,

When importing pictures from digital camera, error/unreadable pics?

I'm new to Mac - and fairly green when it comes to all thinks computer related..so bear with me
I've connected by digital camera and tried using the iphoto to import - but it won't find/upload any pictures...I just get the spinning wheel/timer forever...and end up having to quit that process.
Then searching around a bit - found a process called "image capture". Not sure what the difference is - but when I use that icon to find my pictures...I'm getting about 1/2 way there...in that - for some reason while it will find and save SOME of my pictures from my camera/memory card - it seems to pick & choose which ones....and then I get an error message saying some of the jpgs were unreadable. But they are all jpgs on my camera ??? Help. Frustrated!! I want to use the iphoto editing software since it's much better than snapfish or others available and then order prints on line...but can't seem to get ALL the pictures I need.
Thank you!

Hi BDAqua - thanks for the update link for Graphic Converter. I'll be sure to give that a try. I do have the camera plugged in versus running on battery...and the MAC plugged in too. My camera is a Casio Exilim 10.1 mpixels. Any idea if that's making a difference? This last time I plugged the camera in...it downloaded the pictures but then I had to "select all" and import to library as a second step. And the video on how the iphoto is suppossed to recognize and pretty much automatically import your photos doesn't seem to be occurring as easily or quickly as implied in the video.
So I'll give the GraphicConverter a spin and see if that works better. Any tips on usage...and is it just the method to upload....but from there, I still use iphoto to store them in the library, etc? (told you I was green with all this stuff!) Thanks too for the warm welcome!

Duplicates when importing pictures from my camera

Every time I import photos from my Nikon D5000 I get two of every picture. The only discussion I can find on this topic says to make sure the date and time setting on my camera are correct... they are.
Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks!
Dave

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I'll make a wild guess here and suggest that your camera is set to shoot Raw+ Jpeg. Check your camera settings.

Exactly where are the files stored when imported off a camera into iPhoto ?

see subject line,,,, but when i use iphoto's ''iphoto'' to import files off a camera versus the ''image capture'' they do not appear anywhere in the picture folder, this does not make sense,,,image capture seems to dumb the files into the picture folder
and,,,,,i understand what iPhoto 08 does with the files that are imported into the library from the picture folder but where are iphotos library versions stored?????
also,,,,,i'm putting time and effort into organizing a ''''library'''' only to have none of those efforts taking effect on the folders and files in the picture folder - this seems odd this is like organizing a 2 sets of books in a library == 1 set you want the public to see and one set you what to keep organized in the basement for future storage and retrival and from duplication
i need convincing this makes sense and help on a better system

You're confusing iPhoto with an File Manager. The Mac has one of those, it's called the Finder
When you organise things into albums and slideshows etc in the iPhoto Window there is no corresponding folders of images for each album. That would be a waste of disk space. Instead, each album is a virtual entity: in reality, a list of pics that you want to app to display together. So, no, you're not organising two sets of books, what you're doing is arranging the photos as you want them to be displayed while your assistant (the app) is looking after the files.
Events, however, are not virtual. Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
So, think of it this way. You do your organising in the iPhoto Window. Let the application look after the basement.

Wrong date in file name when importing in Lightroom 5.0

When I import files in Lightroom 5.0 and select the rename check box and use a custom template that includes the date (year, month, day) the files import with and incorrect date (not the current date). The rest of the data in the file name from the custom template is correct. How can I get the date correct?

Using the date option when you rename adds the image capture date, not the current system date. I don't think there's a way to add "current date" automatically, though not sure why you'd want to. The vast majority of users who use "date" in their file names want the capture date, not import date.

Importing Pictures from Camera-Where are they in iPhoto?

Hi-
We just bought a new Canon SD1000 camera. When I plug it into my iMac to download the pictures, the software that came with the camera pops up instead of iPhoto, and I can never find my new pictures in iPhoto. I can see them if I go out to Finder and then Pictures and then they're in a folder with today's date on them, but they're not there in the library in iPhoto. I can drag them over onto my desktop and then into the library, but it seems like that must be defeating the purpose somehow. I would like to set up a good organizing system from the start for our pictures, but I'm kind of at a loss. If I could figure out a system before we go on vacation next week, that would be great! Thanks in advance for any advice.

pkaufman:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First look at Terence Devlin's excellent treatis on iPhoto's folder structure. It describes where the photos go when imported. Each import ends up as a roll (select By Roll in the View menu). In iPhoto's preferences you can set one item to show the last x number of roll directly under the Library icon in the Source pane.
Expand the Library icon in the Source pane and make sure each of the year icons under it are checked. If not no pictures with dates in those years will be displayed. Also in the View menu are the Sort options. If you select any sort other by roll then the rolls will not be displayed. You can also select ascending or descending. If you select ascending the the roils and their contents will be listed oldest to newest. So the last roll imported will be at the bottom.
You can experiment with those options to see which one will work best for you.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problem importing pictures from camera with Elements Organizer

I am using Elements Organizer from Photoshop Elements 9 (Mac OS 10.6.8). Recently, the files imported from my camera are being stored on my hard drive with the permissions set so that only the owner of the files can read them. Previously, anyone could read them. I must have accidentally changed something in Elements Organizer.
How do I set things back to how they were so that everyone can read the files imported from the camera? Is there a way to reset the default settings for Elements Organizer?
I can get around this by setting the permissions for the folder of pictures from the Terminal window, but this requires that I remember to do so after each import.

Topic title overwritten with file name when importing html-file

I have a problem in RH8. When I import a html-file that has a topic title that is different to the file name, RH somehow overwrites the topic title with the file name. The html-files that I need to import into my help project DO have a topic title (with the html tag 'Title') so this is not caused by an empty og non-existing title tag.
I have searched the forum and found that this was also an issue in RoboHelp 6 and by then fixed in a service pack. I have long ago installed the two service packs to RH8, but I can see in the 'read me' for the service packs, that this has not been dealed with.
I also have RH 7 installed on my pc, and the problem does not occur in a RH 7 help project.
Best Regards

Yes, I am sure I am not mixing up Topic Title and Topic Heading.
The files are generated in a Access database created by our own developers. We have used this database for generating html-files for our RH-projects for years without any problems.
Below I have copied the HTML code from one of theese files (with the file name '10001.htm') before importing it into RH8:
<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN">

And after importing it to RH8:
