IPhoto hangs when attempting to import certain CR2 files

Hi everyone.
After 3 months of owning and using my MacBook, I have finally found that iPhoto isn't a bad software at all, and I want to start using it. So of course the first thing I did was to import some recent photos I made.
By now I have successfully imported JPG and CR2 files from my external FAT32 HDD. But there are some CR2 files that make iPhoto hang: Actually not the whole application hangs, but only the import section (it is still possible to browse albums etc). clicking the "Stop" button won't change a thing, despite the text "stopping..." underneath the progress bar.
A friend of mine tried to import one of the regarding CR2 files, and it worked on his PowerBook G4 - same software versions.
Help. I don't know what to do. Been searching for a solution for days. Thanks in advance for every hint.

Ah - sorry, it's hard to gauge what level of expertise people have and probably safer to underestimate than overestimate.
So any messages in Console when iPhoto hangs? Sometimes those are human-readable and offer clues.
What about opening the file using QuickTime? Does that work?
It's possible you ran into an actual bug, but it's hard to tell without the files. If you manage to isolate the exact files that cause the hang, you could try other things, like import them to a newly created library (option-launch iPhoto just in case you didn't know)
You could also dig through the EXIF data that Preview shows (Cmd-I) and see if those files have anything in common, like a bogus value for aperture or focal length or something. I know a friend complained about photos taken by the manual Lensbaby lenses, but I don't know if that has been addressed in recent updates.

iphoto hangs when attempting to print photo even after rebuilding library

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Lightroom hangs when attempting to import RAW files from D750

Hi guys,
I purchased lightroom 5 sometime back to install on multiple platforms. Recently did an update on my macbook and it was able to read the NEF files from D750.
However when I installed lightroom 5 on my iMac, the prog keeps hanging when I attempt to import files from the D750. Other NEF files from my D700 were ok.
Anyone knows why?

Could be a hardware issue
Make sure the cable connection to the D750 is properly connected. Also, if possible try using a card reader. Or vice versa.

PP CC 2014.2 Hangs When Attempting to Import FCP7 XML

Hi All. I'm attempting to import an FCP7 sequence into Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Every time I try to import, the Translation Report dialog box and the "Import Files" progress indicator appear, but then PP just hangs with the spinning beach ball. I've tried various sequences and different PP projects, but have had no success. I've Trashed PP Prefs using Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, and rebooted, but neither seemed to help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jay
I'm on a Mac Pro 5,1 (2010), 32GB RAM, GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, OS X 10.10.1

I'm having the same issue. I tried exporting the sequence as XML V5, V4 and even V1, with the same result. The "Import Files" box opens, the queue bar is empty and it locks up.

IPhoto 6.06 Will Not Import RAW CR2 files Taken Through an Uncoupled Lens

If I use adapters to couple my Canon 20D to a telescope (which is an electronically uncoupled lens and has no lens-related exif data), iPhoto freezes and will not import a RAW Canon CR2 file taken through any telescope. It imports such jpegs just fine, and Preview can open either. iPhoto, however, must be forced to quit under the Apple menu.
It doesn't matter where the RAW file is...in the camera, on the desktop, in a card reader, or on a CD.
This is an obvious bug in iPhoto.

Do you have access to an Apple store, or a friend
with Aperture? It would be interesting to see if
Aperture has the same problem.
Not that it really matters, but a bug in both
iPhoto and Aperture is more likely to be fixed!
I don't know anybody who uses Aperture, and my nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away in Cincinnati.
I'm able to work around the problem since Canon's Digital Photo Professional, working with Canon's EOS Utilty, imports and processes these images just fine, as does Photoshop CS.
However, I miss the premise that iPhoto should be the central organizer and storage vessel for all of one's digital photos, making naming, finding, and backing them up a snap, even though a different program may be used for processsing them.
As an aside, Canon's download site warns that EOS Utility 1.1.1 will not work on Intel Macs; it does...with full functionality.
Thanks for your response.

Iphoto hangs when trying to import photos

I've tried several times to import about 17,000 photos. Things seems to go well at first but the app always stops responding at some point, and I have to kill its process. Each time I've created a new library in a new location to give it a fresh start, but the problem always occurs. What can I do?

Why not try in batches? When you import to iPhoto the pics are copied to the library, the metadata - Exif, IPTC and colour - parsed and recorded, thumbnails created, Scanned for Faces, Places and so on. So while it might well be supported on a multi-core MacPro with 16 gigs of RAM it seems likely to me that on a MB it may choke on 17k of images. Only way to test is to import in Batches, of course.

My iPhoto hangs when I try to import video

My iPhoto hangs when I try to import video - I have a mac mini and am on OS X ver. 10.9.2, it started doing this when I upgraded to iPhoto ver 9.5.1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), iPhoto 9.5.1

What's the source of the video? Any error messages?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

Hi Terence,
I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

FCPX freezes when attempting to import media

Hello,
I'm having trouble when attempting to import media to FCPX in that it won't even open up the browswer window to select files - it just hangs and I have to force quit. I have the latest version of FCPX and have used this previously without issue. I have tried deleting the programme and downloading a new version and re installing it. I am running a 2010 imac 2.93 i7 with 12 gig of ram. Any ideas as to what I can try to get around this?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Russ,
Yes all the latest versions.
Funily enough I had just deleted pref files after viewing another thread - no joy.
All media files are unavailable because it won't let me explore to find any.
I jave just dragged in a file to the timeline and that has imported. I am trying to edit C100 AVCHD files so work around so far is to import to imovie and then export as MP4s and drag into FCPX - not ideal at all but at least I can do some work.
Many thanks,
Ben

Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".

When using in BI SAP NetWeaver 2004s (700 - SP 15) the transaction ST04old -> Detail analysis menu -> Summary report
The following short dump occurs:

Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLSTD4" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
not caught in
procedure "DB02_ORA_FILL_TS_CHECK__CRITOB" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated
by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "TS_CHECK", the component no. 4 in the
dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
of the target object in the program "SAPLSTD4".
The data type is "I" in the dataset, but "N" in the program.

Only related SDN post is following, but solved by changing permissions for saposcol.
Only related SAP Note is SAP Note Number 597743 "DB02: Poor entries for critical objects list", but not applicable for current SAP version.
For me strange is that this issue occurs on the development system, but not on the acceptance and production system.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Received the solution from SAP Active Global Support:
This error occurs due a corruption in the table MONI.
For solving this issue you need to clean the records of this table via the following path :
1. Call transaction ST03
2. With GOTO -> Performance database -> Content of database
3. Push button Delete data group
4. Enter ID DB
5. Continue
6. Confirm the delete
If you wish to backup the data before deleting the entry please follow the steps in the note 1000275 "DB02: history data backup procedure".

On my PC, iTunes 11.0.3.42 causes it to hang when attempting to view a .MOV (1.6GB) requiring a cold boot. What could be causing this?

On my PC running windows XP Service Pack 3, iTunes 11.0.3.42 causes it to hang when attempting to view a .MOV (1.6 GB) requiring a cold boot. What could be causing this? Corrupted .MOV? Too little RAM? It successfully plays a 162 MB .MOV.

Hello David,
Thank you for providing all that information about the iTunes issue you are experiencing. We would first want to rule out any software issues before we can determine if it has to do with RAM. I found an article that will help you isolate and troubleshoot software issues that could be causing iTunes to behave this way:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

I hope this helps you get back on track with watching movies in iTunes!
Best,

IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
Any ideas anyone?
Wilson

I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

Lightroom 6 crashes when attempting to import from camera.

Never had a problem importing from same camera using LR 5.7. LR 6 crashes when attempting to import from camera.

Actually I have found out that it's not related to importing, but to face recognition being turned on (which I had just done shortly before I started the import).
See here for more details: Re: Lightroom 6.0.1 standalone always crashes less than a minute after start
