Jpg greyscale file not importing

I wonder if there is a bug in the new iPhoto '09? I used to be able to import 8-bit greyscale images saved from Photoshop with an ICC profile; now I get a message that the file format is not supported. I also have noticed that at least one other such photo, previously imported into iPhoto, will not display. (In the past, the previews were always black, but double-clicking the preview would show the image as expected.)

That's too bad that grayscale is not supported. I have used grayscale primarily to save file size. I scan my kids school reports and their pencil drawings and import them. Since so many of Apple's customers are graphic designers, I'll bet many of us do the same thing. And, because of that, I'll bet it would be helpful to support CMYK, too.

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos and video visible when card inserted but not able to import. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

Files not importing

I am getting a number of files that won't import into my iPhoto 09. I can't see anything odd about them. For example the last one that wouldn't go in was 8 bit, rbg, jpg. The error message simply says "The following files can not be imported." What are the reason file won't import?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response.
Long story short - my computer crashed when i was upgrading to leopard and ilife'09. So now that both are installed on a fresh computer, i launched iphoto '09 which didn't have anything in it. It automatically directed me to import pictures from the iphoto library on my backup/external hard drive. When I clicked okay, it then imported all those pictures and created an iphoto '09 library. But like i said, all the pics ending with _2.jpg would not import.
I haven't tried the open and save with preview trick yet but will try that. I worry that that is the only solution because I have about 3300 pictures affected by this problem.
Thanks for your help TD.

RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

Michael
I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
Hope that helps.

AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
*+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.

Sound files not importing

I have a problem while trying to import any sound file into flash CS5.5. I have not successfully done it since purchasing the program. I have tried opening the file in a sound editor and saving it, as well as trying to convert to a different sound type that is still Flash compatible. I'm trying with .mp3 and .wav files mostly. The error messages i receive are "Couldn't import C://*file location* or else i get"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I havent figured out a pattern as to why either might be showing or the connection to the file.

there may be something wrong with the mp3. sometimes i receive mp3 files from clients that i can't import into flash. when that happens, i drag the mp3 into iTunes, select the file, click advanced, click create mp3 version. iTunes creates a new mp3 file which i click and drag out of iTunes (which creates a copy of that new file) into my job folder. flash imports the mp3 i dragged into the job folder. then i go back and delete both versions out of iTunes.
note: if you don't see that option in iTunes, go to iTunes preferences > general > import settings > mp3 encoder

"Files not imported because they could not be read" from SD card.

Trying to import photos from my disk. Was able to download 2/3 of chosen files. Came back to do the last 3rd, and a message pops up, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." then listed the file names that were not imported. Thought maybe it was the card, or a fluke. New disk today, same issue. Any resolution ideas

Usually, that error message comes up because the files couldn't be written. Yes, I know, it's weird.
Generally, it's because you are trying to write to a folder or a disk that is protected some way. You need permission to write to that folder, and on Windows 7, you need to have ownership of that disk and folder--running as an administrator isn't enough.
What operating system are you running, and what version on Lightroom?

Lightroom 3 Raw Files not Importing

I have a Nikon d3200 and I am using Lightroom 3. My raw files are not importing. Do I need some sort of plugin? Im not sure where to find the plugin on Adobes site...ugh!!! #frustrated

You would need the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 7.1 or later) to convert your D3200 raw photos to DNG. The DNGs will import into Lightroom.

FIles not importing fully on PrPro Trial

We are giving PrPRO a try, and so far we like what we are seeing. However we have run into a challenge. We have a series of HD (720p, 1080i) files in AVI that we are trying to import. Some are MPEG2 and others are DV. We can import and process smaller files just fine, but larger ones are getting truncated on import. If we try to import a clip over 3 or 4 minutes, we only see 3 or 4 minutes in the source monitor. The slider and video stops on the source. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why only a portion of the clip is being loaded. I am not sure if it is a limitation imposed by file size (the larger files are between 50 and 90GB), or a time limit imposed by the trial version. We are nowhere near capacity on system memory (RAM), perhaps it is a caching issue?
Does anybody have any idea? Is there some setting that is preventing the entire clip from importing, some cache setting or other that needs adjusting. Thanks!

I had read those limitations, however I am not sure how they apply?
You originally posted:
Some are MPEG2
The trial version does not import MPEG files, hence my response.

NEF files not importing because they cannot be read in lightroom 5

What is a clear and simple solution to this? LR has been working fine and now nothing. NEF files will not import on my Mac.

this means you do not have permission to WRITE to this folder. Correct your permissions. I really wish Adobe would correct this message!

Crash on importing files not imported because of crash

make sense?
I imported some photos and iPhoto crashed. When I reopen iPhoto there is a message:
8 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them?
It crashes every time I click the Yes button. I don't care about importing the photos anymore. I just want to get rid of that message.
I've rebuilt using all of the options and it still crashes. I've tried to find the 8 photos via the Finder and just delete, but no luck.
There is no albumn entitled "Recovered photos ..."
Any ideas on what else I can do?
The photos were in jpg format that were all run through graphic converter.

In your library, in the pictures/iphoto folder, there should be a folder named "import". Empty it and you will be fine.

Final Cut Server: Files not importing...

Hello,
We have the strangest thing happening in Final Cut Server.
Here's the process:
1. We work on the project and link to videos already on FCServer
2. We sometimes import/link local files from the local system into the project
3. When we "check-in" the project, we obviously expect those local files to import into FCServer. If the files are on the desktop or any one of our ethernet servers, they run great. We would like to put the files on a local Fiber drive, but when we do - It doesn't import and when FCServer gets the entire project checked-in, it shows the media as missing. The fiber drive is not local to FCServer on purpose, so it'll ingest the media.
Any ideas?

After running tons of tests, still only happening for one person. We haven't been able to replicate it for more than that one person. I ran even more tests today and not seeing the issue. Must be something that person is doing incorrectly. The same person went through 2 computers with two totally different installs and had the same issue, however - Every other system/person I try this with it works without issue. I'm gonna close this discussion as I can't replicate it.
