IPhoto warning me that pics I'm importing are duplicates when they are not

I just got a new mac and am attempting to import my pictures from an external hard drive.   IPhoto tells me that pics are duplicate and shows me two thumbnails that are not duplicate pictures.  To be honest I do not know if the filenames are duplicates or if it matters (they are stored in different folders on the hard drive).  How do I get iPhoto to just import these pictures and also keep the ones that it thinks are duplicates?

It is not clear what you are doing wrong according to your question.

  • What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

  • If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

    If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie  take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

    Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
    More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
    Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

  • My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

    My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events.  The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder.  When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up.  Any ideas?

    If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
    Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
    If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere,  just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

  • How to configure SharePoint HNSC with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.

    Could you please let me know how SharePoint HNSC can be configured with a reverse proxy server so that HNSC Share Point URLs are not exposed to end users.
    In normal path based site collections/web applications, reverse proxy configuration can be done using alternate access mappings with  Public URL = "proxy URL", internal = "HNSC Share Point URL" so that share point sends response back
    to Public URL = "proxy URL".
    In Host Named Site Collections,  alternate access mappings  are not supported. Each HNSC is designed to have only one URL in each zone. Zone is one of the five zones(Default,Intranet,Internet,Custom,Extranet) with each of which only one alternate
    URL is associated.  This is what we are able to get using power shell command "Set-SPSiteUrl", but this will not help us to get the response back to proxy URL after a request sent to share point because we could not find any mechanism in share
    point HNSC to respond  to a different URL(proxy URL). Consequently, Share Point URLs are exposed to  external users.
    Below share point article in MSDN blog is symmetrical to what we are observing with Share Point 2013 and Proxy Server. It mentions that internal HNSC URLs can’t be hidden using any proxy server. If  hiding the internal Share Point URLS is a requirement,
    it suggests to use a web application instead of host named site collections.
    Though I’m also observing the same behavior with Share Point 2013 HNSC, Could you please confirm my understanding is correct.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2012/03/27/what-every-sharepoint-admin-needs-to-know-about-host-named-site-collections.aspx
    Excerpt from above article-
    "Host Named Site Collections Only Use One Host Name
    Continuing on the discussion on AAMs and host named site collections, you cannot use multiple host names to address a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Because host-named site collections have a single URL, they do not support alternate access mappings and
    are always considered to be in the Default zone.  This is important if you are using a reverse proxy to provide access to external users. Products like Unified Access Gateway 2010 allow external users to authenticate to your gateway and access a site
    as http://uag.sharepoint.com and forward the call to http://portal.sharepoint.com. Remember that URL rewriting is not permitted. Further, a site collection can only respond to one host name. This means if you are using a reverse proxy, it must forward the
    calls to the same URL.  If your networking team has a policy against exposing internal URLs externally, you must instead use web applications and extend the web application using an alternate access mapping."<u5:p></u5:p>

    Hi Satish,
    You are right that only one URL is allowed for each zone of the host-name site collections in both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
    It is by design that each host-name site collection only support one URL for each zone.
    The article below is about RTM version of SharePoint, and it is the same for SharePoint 2013 with the latest CU.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2826457
    So to make the URL of HNSC not exposed to external users is not supported, you need to use path-based sites instead.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Child DC cannot Replicate to Parent DC, because of connection errors. MS PortQryUI shows that ports 3268 and 3269 are not listening,

    I started a support case with Microsoft to help me with raising the our domain Forest level because i received a message stating that there were Windows 2000 PDC still listed in the database. These PDCs were removed years ago. The tech saw all of the problems
    i was having with domain replication so that is where he started. running the MS PortQryUI shows that ports 3268 and 3269 are not listening, (TCP port 3268 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING) when run FROM a Child domain controller against the Parent
    Domain controller. Between the 2 Child domain controllers these ports are listening.
    The Windows firewall is not running on any of the controllers, i removed a virus protect client from all of the servers, although i didn't enable the firewall there either, but these ports are still not listening on the Parent DC.
    I need help debugging this. I am not very familiar with network sniffers so if i need to run one i'll need some guidance. This DC only has one NIC, all IP addresses are static, all servers are setup like this. All servers are in the same subnet, on the same
    lan, on the same cisco switch, there shouldn't be anything blocking this port from starting.
    I looked over other post that show this same problem, but they don't give a solution. If i am not using the Windows firewall why wouldn't these ports be open?
    Any ideas? web searches are all over the map on trying to find the reason for this.
    Bobby

    Try running the below command on the DCs that you think have the ports blocked or all the DCs.
    netdiag /test:ipsec /debug > c:\dcname-ipseclog.log
    Open that from the C drive and see if there is anything saying block or filters. 
    Also, just for kicks have you disabled the firewall service on the DCs? 
    And just for kicks have you tried enabling firewalls ports on all the DCs?  The KB is below
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555381/en-us
    Step 1 - netdiag results
    Step 2 - disable the firewall service on all DCs if step 1 was negative
    Step 3 - enable the firewalls on all DCs per KB 555381 if step 2 doesn't work
    Let us know how it goes!

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

  • Why didn't you warn me that I would lose all my bookmarks when I updated my iPad software?

    I just upgraded my iPad to the new software and when I went to Safari, all of my bookmarks are gone. Why the **** didn't I get a warning about this before the update?  Every time I update software on my iPhone or iPad, something gets f***ed up. For a company that makes such good toys, why can't they update their software half as good as Microsoft?

  • Photos indicated in import dialogue as previously imported are not found in catalogue

    Hey there,
    I have a photo that I imported recently.  When I search my catalogue for the original NEF file, Lightroom tells me no such photo exists (the find function finds no hits).  So when I try to reimport the photo, lightroom grays out the photo in the import dialogue window, telling me that that photo already exists in the catalogue.  Though it apparently exists in the catalogue, why can't lightroom locate it? Why can't I view it?
    Secondly, if I import photos the same way every time (import--copy--original NEF files into catalogue as originals, not as dng), why do XMP files irregularly accompany some files?
    Thanks

    Hey Hal,
    Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately my problem is not an issue with stacking.  I'll try to clarify a bit more.  I have a file (_DSC9805.nef) and its photoshop edited '.TIF' version imported to and saved onto an external hardrive.  When I search for the files, they appear in my macintosh finder directory.  In lightroom, however, the photo doesn't appear--neither when I search for it by sorting photos by capture time, nor when I explicitly search the photo's exact file name; lightroom tells me "no photos mach the filter."  In the case that lightroom lost the photo from the catalogue, I tried reimporting the photo.  This didn't work because lightroom won't allow me to import the photo; the thumbnail is grayed out because the photo file is purportedly already in lightroom.  Could my version of lightroom have a bug or an update failure that perturbes the catalogue like this?  It's like lightroom doesn't recognize it's own photo.  It doesn't even go so far as to indicate a missing photo with a question mark.  It's just not there except for when I try to reimport.  I'm 100% certain I've not made a personal error in my search querries and such, as i've done the search a number of times.  The photo shows up in the macintosh finder, but not the LR catalogue after importing...  Any other ideas or thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Are there any apps that will permanently save photos to albums when they are deleted from camera roll?

    Seems like many people want to manage their photos my separating them into albums, rather than one massive camera roll.   In Android once you move the photo form the roll to an album it is gone from the roll thus eliminating a massive roll.  So seems like someone out there must have devised a method of doing this on the iPhone using an app since Apple seems to be resisting this logical approach.

    No.
    There are not two copies.  There is one and it is in the Camera Roll.  The albums you create only point to the pics in the camera roll.  It is simply an organization tool. 
    The camera roll is temporary storage for pics taken with iPhone.  You should be importing them to your computer regularly.  Once there, you can organize them however you like and sync them to your iPhone.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.
