Invalid date assigned to folder when importing

I'm using Trial version (1.0) of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
I'm planing to purchase the product but I found one large annoyance.
My PC is set to New Zealand Time zone (currently DST id off) .
In the import dialogue I can select folder name like year/date pattern from a preset. This is really great, I do not need to set date time every time I import the image, but it always set to the tomorrow's date.
The date and time in the EXITF meta-data shows correct time of shooting.
I'm really puzzled why it flick to the tomorrows date on the import dialogue.
Is this adjustable at anywhere or bug?

Ah, Geoff, one of our fav. Kiwi's ought to be along before long.....

Empty import folder when importing Mac Mail 6.5 folders to Mac Mail 4.5

When importing Mac Mail version 6.5 folders into Mac Mail version 4.5 the resulting import folder is completely empty. The import process happens instantaneously and no error occurs. Does anyone know if 6.5 is not backwards compatible with 4.5?

That's almost as ludicrous as the reason I'm trying to import new mail into an older version. At least I know now to quit trying. Thanks for the answer.

Assigning a template when importing a project

Is there a way to assign a template when saving a Project to the PWA for Project Professional for the first time?
I ask because some templates have a predesigned SharePoint site connected with them.
In that situation, am I better off copying and pasting to a blank project made with that template?
Thank you.

Hi Sean,
When you create a new project from the project center in PWA, you have to choose an EPT (Enterprise Project Type). EPT are kind of a container where you put a project site template, project plan template, project detail pages and workflow. If we just consider
project site template, it means that you can define a custom Project site and attach it to an EPT so every project created from this EPT will have an associated site based on the template.
Thus note that from MS Project Pro, the default EPT is taken by default with no way to select one particular EPT. Note also that the project site is created when first publishing the project itself.
See references below:

How to delete originnal Personal Address Book folder when importing address boook from another PC?

When importing an address book file into Thunderbird the original Personal Address Book remains as the default even though it's empty. Is there a way to delete this empty 'Personal Address Book'? Thanks .. Andy TB version 24.3.0

For some reason, ctrl+a didn't move the whole list. I had to move them one at a time. Is it so hard to let the user delete the Personal Address Book default and replace it with an address book of their choice?

Dates get randomly changed when importing folders into Aperture

I am in the process of migrating my iPhoto pictures over to Aperture. Because I have close to 100k pictures and short clips, I can not import my entire 500 GB library at once because I don't have enough hard drive space to support both iPhoto and Aperture libraries at the same time. I also thought it might make sense to not have one gigantic library. Also I would like to have my old photos separated by years, and I don't know if Aperture would do this if I imported the entire iPhoto library (which does only separate them by events) at once. So it appears to me that the only import method that would work (please correct me if this is wrong) would be to open the "Masters" directory of iPhoto in the Finder, and drag and drop each year's directory into the "Projects/Library" panel in Aperture. Note that I do not want any editing information preserved from iPhoto, so using the Masters seems to be the most space efficient thing. So far so good but there appear to be at least two big snags. Firstly the yellow projects folders within each blue years folder in Aperture are not in chronological but in alphabetical order and I can't find out how to fix this. Secondly (and much more problematically) the dates on many old photos have been altered in an apparent random manner during the import into Aperture! Therefore they do appear in the wrong locations in my events library, according to the altered date. There are many too many photos that have been changed to undo this manually (I estimate it would take several weeks to do this).
But how and why could this have happened in the first place?
I also noticed that even when I change the dates of the Aperture masters to the true ones (by comparing to the masters in iPhoto), they still remain in the same wrong location in my Projects/Events library, according to the date originally (and falsely) assigned by Aperture.
There surely has to be a way to import photos into Aperture without ruining their date stamp?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iScientist,
If I understand you correctly I should not import iPhoto Masters directly, because they have been altered to be in some kind of internal organization scheme. What I'm confused about is that I thought the "Masters" in iPhoto were just untouched camera files?
Yes, I would also be confused. The more I think about it, the less I know why anything wrong. You stated that you don't care about any adjustments you made in Aperture, so why wouldn't be okay to "reach into" iPhoto's internal database and pull out the masters? Good question. The only thing I can come up with: Maybe that folder isn't really what you think it is.
Were you able look at the metadata in Preview after finding one of the problematic masters in the iPhoto library again? That might give a clue.
When you say "regular way", do you mean going to "Import -> iPhoto library"? The problem with this, it seems, is that my entire iPhoto library will be imported that way, however I would like to import it chunks, split in years and on different physical media
Yes, that is what I meant. There have been various topics in this forum concerning how to import parts of the iPhoto library. I cannot seem to find any relevant posts at the moment. Perhaps someone else has better luck searching...
In any case, you may be better off using *referenced masters* instead of multiple libraries. With multiple libraries, your photos will be disjointed by whatever scheme you devise (like years). So, when you're looking at 2011, and you want that Christmas photo from 2010, you will need to close Aperture and restart it with a new library.
With referenced masters, you choose to store a particular set of *masters only* (maybe all of them) in another location. You can put different sets of masters in different places. For instance, you can have one project on one external hard drive, and a different project on a different external drive. Your versions, metadata, previews, thumbnails, all stay in the library. In this way, you can at least view screen-sized versions of last Christmas even if your "2010" external hard drive is not connected.
Looking at manual for references to referenced may be good for you before you delve too deep into this.
What I meant by order being unchanged/the file being in the wrong location is that in the chronologically organized projects overview the projects that were imported with the wrong date, which I changed to the correct date in Metadata, still appear in the wrong location.
Ahh, that is a bug that users discovered a little while ago. It took me a while to re-find the thread, but you can read up on that here. I (among others hopefully) have provided feedback to Apple concerning that bug.
[http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12981789&#12981789]
I didn't think about that view because that view is not generally as useful as the list view in the Inspector pane. That view is new to Aperture 3 and in my opinion was built to make the transition for users of iPhoto easier.

Can't see my Pictures folder when importing in LR5 CC on Mac

I've been using LR5 for a while. When I use the import function I usually set it to import into subfolders By date. And I put them into my Image Master Library folder in my Pictures folder on my Mac. So I end up with my images in Macintosh HD/Users/karl/Pictures/Master Image Library/2014/04/29 for example.
However today when I try to import the only folders I can see under my Macintosh HD are Application, Library, System and User Information. I can't see my Users/karl/Pictures folder any more. I'm not sure if I've done something to stop me seeing it, but I can navigate to it fine in the Finder and see all my images that I've previously imported in there. Plus the images are still showing up in LR ok when I use the Library tab as normal.
I'm really stuck as at the moment I can't import my images into the right place at all. Is this a bug, a setting I've changed, and OS feature???
Any advice really appreciated!!
Thanks
Karl

I have the same problem and can't find the reason...
I updated to Mavericks a week ago... Don't know if this is related, because it worked before...
Any help appreciated!

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.

Lightroom change the date of my JPEGs when importing

Hello,
I have noticed that when i import a JPEG to Lightroom the date of the file is changed to the current date. That thing dont happend with RAWs. Is Lightroom writting somthing in the file of the JPEGs? Wicj metod of importing do you use? reference? copy? convert to DNG?
Thanks a lot,
Marcelo.

I've been importing JPEGs today as well, and it is not changing the date for you. I'm copying to a new location.

"Date Added" gets reset when importing iTunes library

I have recently made the switch from a PC to a MacBook. I copied my previous iTunes Music Library.xml file over and followed the Apple instructions to import all my music ratings, playcounts, etc. in to the new iTunes library (deleting the iTunes Library.itl file and importing the old library through Library>Import Playlist). Everything copied over fine except the "Date Added," which resets to today's date. I also tried copy & pasting the old library text into the new iTunes Library.xml file, and it still reset itself once I opened iTunes. I have used this process before in switching to a new PC and it kept the "Date Added" information.
Does anyone know if this is an issue with the new versions of iTunes? The version is 8.0.2. Or is it an issue with switching from PC to Mac? More importantly, does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my "Date Added"? I use it regularly for sorting music and for Smart Playlists.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'll second the question! I just moved my music from my MBP to my new iMac, and the date added is today's date for all of the songs from my library on my MBP. Please post if you find answer redhead828. Thanks!

Performance issue with FDM when importing data

In the FDM Web console, a performance issue has been detected when importing data (.txt)
In less than 10 seconds the ".txt" and the ".log" files are created the INBOX folder (the ".txt" file) and in the OUTBOX\Logs (the ".log" file).
At that moment, system shows the message "Processing, please wait” during 10 minutes. Eventually the information is displayed, however if we want to see the second page, we have to wait more than 20 seconds.
It seems a performance issue when system tries to show the imported data in the web page.
It has been also noted that when a user tries to import a txt file directly clicking on the tab "Select File From Inbox", the user has to also wait other 10 minutes before the information is displayed on the web page.
Thx in advance!
Cheers
Matteo

Hi Matteo
How much data is being imported / displayed when users are interacting with the system.
There is a report that may help you to analyse this but unfortunately I cannot remember what it is called and don't have access to a system to check. I do remember that it breaks down the import process into stages showing how long it takes to process each mapping step and the overall time.
I suspect that what you are seeing is normal behaviour but that isn't to say that performance improvements are not possible.
The copying of files is the first part of the import process before FDM then starts the import so that will be quick. The processing is then the time taken to import the records, process the mapping and write to the tables. If users are clicking 'Select file from Inbox' then they are re-importing so it will take just as long as it would for you to import it, they are not just asking to retrieve previously imported data.
Hope this helps

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.

But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

ORA-20091: Invalid Application ID when importing APEX 4.0 Application

Hi Folks
Anyone got a suggestion on this one?
Scenario:
1. Perform an APEX 4.0 Export of application ID 10132 from one workspace
2. Import the application into another APEX 4.0 workspace and change the application ID whilst doing so.
3a. During the import process, override the application ID to one that exists in the workspace being imported into.
In APEX 3.2 you got a warning that you were overwriting an existing app
In APEX 3.2 this would then complete the exercise with your new app replacing the previous one with the same ID
In APEX 4.0 I received ORA-20091: Invalid Application ID
3b. Delete the pre-existing application (e.g. app_id 999) completely in the workspace we intend to import into
Following successful deletion of the application (app_id 999) attempt to import the application export file from the other workspace
During the import, use the UI to change the application id from 10132 to 999.
Still receive the ORA-20091: Invalid Application ID error despite APP ID 999 having been deleted
4. I got this to work by allowing APEX to simply assign a new application ID
My problem is that, whilst this was not a problem when importing to our UAT environment, our DEV and Production environments share the same APP ID (10132) this is so that when upgrading the production application, users saved Interactive reports are preserved. This was fine in APEX 3.2 but is, as yet, untested by us in 4.0.
As things stand at the moment, we have APEX 4.0 in DEV and UAT but this would appear to be a block for us in terms of upgrading production to 4.0.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Kind regards
Simon Gadd

We ran into a similar problem. My initial tests showed the following to be a work around.
Assumption: You want to end up with the same ID as the original so you don't have to give a new link to everyone.
1. Before copying the app (lets say it's 333) from 3.2 (3.1 in our case) export it and then import it back, still in 3.x with a different app ID, i.e. 99333.
2. In ApEx 4: Import the app 99333 and install it with app ID 333 (the original app ID). After this process, I was able to make necessary changes to the app on ApEx 4, export it, and then import it again, still as ID 333.
I know this sounds very round-about, and I can't explain why it worked, but it worked.
Disclaimer: I certainly may have missed something that would still make it break. This was the result of a few different test scenarios done in a limited time.
So, it's probably best to wait for 4.0.1 if you can.
By the way, I tried creating a brand new app. in ApEx 4, export it and then import it as itself, and I still got the same error. Like I said, I don't know why it worked, but when I imported an older app with one ID into ApEx 4 with a new ID, I was able to export it and then import it again with that same new ID.
Have a great weekend,

Photos on my Mac show the wrong date when imported from a portable Hard Drive

I’ve got loads of photos that I had imported from my old PC.Last night I decided to start going through them and trying to get them sorted
prior to importing into iphoto. I discovered that some of the pictures (in particular ones I have taken from my old Iphone) all had the same date and time
assigned to them. When I checked the Exif details, it listed the correct camera etc, but the date created seems to have changed to the date I copied them to my portable hard drive.
I thought this was strange as when they were on my PC I thought they were correct. I booted my PC up and checked the portable hard drive on Windows. When viewed on my PC the pictures all have the correct time and date assigned to them. However when I plug the same portable hard drive into my Mac the same files show up as being created on a more recent date (say 20th Jan 2013).
I’ve done a lot of research last night, although I can find no forum with this exact problem, I feel it must have something to do with compatibility. The portable hard drive is FAT32, and I am assuming that in order to ensure all of the photos information is transferred correctly in needs to be NTFS.
The problem I have is how do I transfer my files again from my PC to an NTFS drive, whilst keeping all of the correct date and time information assigned to the photos. My understanding is that the 2 aren’t compatible.
Has anyone ever had this problem? It mainly seems to be with photos I have extracted from my Iphone or edited in some form by rotating them.
I have a 13" Macbook Pro Retina with OSX Mavericks installed.

What you may want to do is archive as a Zipfile the photos and then transfer them to the Mac.     It is possible some of the metadata is being lost on the FAT32 formatting.    USB Flashdrive might work better than a FAT32 formatted hard drive, as I do know that most USB Flashdrives are formatted about the same as SD media cards, which manage to preserve the data when copied from camera to Mac.    My big question is, do you still have the photos on media cards? You might just want to get a media card reader on your Mac, if the photos are not on SD cards, and transfer them over with the media card reader.
I do believe Retina MacBook Pros all have SD card readers built-in.
Note: I've asked this be moved to the MacBook Pro forum. MacBook without the secondary name refers to the consumer notebook Apple stopped making in 2011.

ORA-01722: Invalid number when importing .csv file

What can I do, so that the import tool does not quote the numbers?
Deleting the quotes with the help of a regular expression is not workaround, since a lot of error windows appear, which needs to be closed by hand...

"Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down? There is no "correct" sort order. You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser. The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner. Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had. When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".
