Limit to number of photos per Import? Import not completing - is stuck.

Hi all -
Been using iPhoto more and more on my iMac, and decided last night to import all my photos from an external harddrive.
This was about 40,000 photos. Everything seemed to be going along just fine, till it got stuck with 8,736 photos remaining to import. Left it there all night and this morning nothing has changed.
The harddrive is still attached and spinning. I can review photos directly from the drive in Finder.
I don't know if there is a specific photo/file it didn't like and that messed things up, or if there is some known limit to the number of photos that can/should be imported at a single time??
Any thoughts?
Running iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.1)
Thanks!

I've never seen report of a limit for a single import, but asking it to gobble up 40k images at one go is a bit of an ask
Most likely, it's a damaged jpeg that it's hung on trying to import. But it could also be just maxing out on the resources needed to processing that volume of data at one go.
Regards
TD

  • Limit the number of records per page in webi

    Hello All,
    How do i limit the number of records per page in webi?
    i was asked to have not more than 20 records per page.
    In " NUmber of Vertical records per page"(Quick display mode) the default value was 100, i am trying to set it to 20 ...but its not updating....its still taking 100.
    I am on BO XI 3.1 Sp2 fix pack 3
    Please let me know a way to accomplish this.Any inputs appreciated
    Thanks

    It can be done as follows:
    1. create a variable at report level as:
            v Test = Floor(RowIndex()/20)
    2. Added this variable in the Block as a new column.
    3. Select the v Test column, Right Click and set as section (also you can apply break).
    4. Go to structure mode select section\break and go to properties tab and select the property "Start on new page".

  • How do I Limit the number of Clients Per AP, Per Radio

    I'm have WCS, 2 - WLC4404, 1 - WLC4402 and 1 WISM (6509). All running 7.X OS.
    Here is my problem I have 4 3502 AP,s in the hall, but the laptops all connect to one AP. 2 Clients on A and 26 Clients on G.
    How do I control this?
    Mike

    If you want to limit the number of clients PER AP then this is a feature that has been identified and will be available in the next few version.
    You can, however, limit the number of clients and default is set to 12.

  • Limit the number of session per user in the Wired dot1x environment with ISE 1.2

    Hello,
    I need to check if there is any configuration/workaround to limit the number of sessions/access per user in the Wired dot1x configuration.
    I need to check if this feature is available or not to solve the following scenario:
    I have 2 SW ports configured to use dot1x authentication with ISE 1.2 server.
    If user A connects to the 1st port and authenticated then he will placed on a VLAN based on the authorization profile.
    The case, that I need to deny the same user to connect on a different machine with the same credentials.
    The ISE itself does not have this feature currently,  the only feature available is to limit the number of sessions for the guest user.
    Is there any workaround on the Cisco switches to solve this? Cisco WLC has this feature and for the VPN we can limit the number of sessions also from the ASA itself.
    Thanks.

    limit number of session per user using wired dot1x is not available in 1.3

  • Is there a limit to number of photos?

    I am working on a page of bird photos. After adding 9 images the next ones are all below the blue line. I can not make it bigger (the area defined by the blue box). Also, the individual images above the blue line when clicked on have a blue box around them. The images below only show the box with handles formed by the gray lines with the squares. No room for text etc. Is there a limit to how many photos fit on a page? I have like hundreds.
    Dual 800 G4, iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    If you post the URL we can take a look at it and maybe come up with a solution for you. In the meantime, create another photo page in iWeb and drag the photos you want into the blue box area of the canvas.

  • How do I add pages to a photo book with the same number of photos per page.

    I want to add a photo book, select all the pages and tell the book to be 4 photos per page. And when I add new pages, I want those to have 4 photos.
    When ever I add, it just selects a random page and then I have to manually change that page to have 4 photos. Is there an easier way to do this?

    Nope
    the added pages are what they are and you have to change them if hey are not what you want
    Click on the layout button and and select the 4 photo per page layout you want

  • How do I limit the number of measures per line in Logic Pro score editor

    I would like to control the number of measures per line in Logic Pro X Score  Editor, currently it puts random numbers of measures per line depending on the accumulated lenth of the measures per line, as if looking for "the best fit". Any ideas how to force four measures per line in my finished score?

    Thanks, This solved my problem, the only thing I still needed to do was to find out how to open the Global format window. I fugured it out by opening the Score editor window / Layout / global format /then I saw the Max # of barlines. If you just go to the Logic Pro / Preferences then you never get to see the global format window unless you know to hit the "Score Project Settings" button on the bottom. But at least you showed me that there was such a option which limited the number of measures so I keep on trying until I fould how to reveal that option. Thanks !

  • Translation Manager: Is there a limit of number of languages per Universe?

    Dear All,
    can I translate Universe content to up to 20-25 languages with Translation Manager for each Universe?
    Is there a limit?
    Kind regards, Martina

    Is there a limit of number of questions in this forum? No, but forum etiquette strongly suggests you keep a thread on any individual topic continuous (that means together no matter how long that thread might become). So, you should NOT post separate individual questions for every tiny nuance you might have.
    The inherent nature of a forum is that thread topics get spread far apart as time goes by. If your inquiry is splattered into individual new posts, they WILL get scattered and your topic will no longer make any sense.
    Anyone you hope to respond to you will lose all focus on the topic and will just no longer try to give you answers.

  • Syncing iPhoto albums to iPhone 4-is there a limit to number of photos in album

    I was able to sync a small album with 69 photos from iPhoto to the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5 without a problem. First I synced it as "Last Import" with no edits whatsoever, fresh from downloading from the camera, and then I synced as an album with a number of edits. No problem. When I try to sync an album with about 1100 photos in, only about a quarter of the photos are synced. This not a problem with my first generation 8GB iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. What gives?

    Same problem!  I have 530 pics in one Album - but when I sync my to my iPhone 4 - only 56 of the pics are transferred.  I have done a full Restore on the iPhone and Rebuilt the database on iPhoto.  This appears to be happening only since Lion 10.7.1.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Iphoto- want to keep photos after import not delete

    I want to keep the photos on my camera disc after i import into iphoto- when I import and it asks me if I want to keep photos- i click on keep photos and it deletes them off my disc? How do I import and save photos?

    When I import it makes you select either delete or keep photos on disc- I have tried both keep and delete and both options delete- are you saying I can by pass that last step of the import and not have to select either delete or keep?
    Thanks

  • Does AppleTV2 limit the number of photos it will display when streaming from Aperture when streaming to the TV?

    I am new to AppleTV. I bought it and an iPad2 at about the same time. I've been an Aperture user for years but not so much lately. I am having fits with Aperture crashing as soon as I open it. I mean on the first click or before. I simply can't get into Aperture at all during the last 20 tries or so. I'm really rather freaked out about it. I have a wedding to upload and a few other recent events totally thousands of photos that I can't get off the SD cards. Thankfully I'm not a professional but my niece is anxious to see her photos nonetheless.
    I don't know if the galleries in MobileMe even exist anymore but that was my idea as an alternative place to try to access photos from my computer to see them on AppleTV. It might have been my high level of frustration and despair but I could not find a way to move the photos to MobileMe from Aperture (on the day I could get into Aperture). Export does not list MobileMe as an optional destination. It's been too long since I sent anything to MobileMe and I can't remember how I did it.
    In the past and even today I've successfully accessed a few of my photos in Aperture through my AppleTV2. Thankfully, Aperture does not need to be open to see the photos. However, my problem is that when I stream through AppleTV I can only get to a miniscule fraction of my photos. I have a selection of projects that will appear on my TV but the vast majority of the projects list only ONE photo in the project when there are dozens, hundreds or thousands in the various projects.
    I tried making some new projects and that partially worked. Some of the ones I just made still only show one photo but I made one with about a thousand scenic photos that sort of worked. I loaded it to play during a party today and about 500 were listed in the folder when I started the slideshow. I didn't count them as they played, of course, but it certainly seemed they replayed more than I wanted them too in spite of the five second time selection. I will move that to 10 seconds next time. What I really want to do is have access to large groups of different photos I have in Aperture. I want to pull in a mix of trip locations, wildlife, scenic shots, etc. It would be nice if Aperture picked up Smart Albums and not just projects.
    I have multiple problems going on: computer freezes, cursor moves but won't click and keyboard becomes unresponsive, flashing artifacts and horizontal lines, CRASHES galore. Right now I'm feeling kind of panicked it's going to crash before I hit "post message". If you can offer any guidance in any of these areas, your help will be deeply appreciated.

    John, thanks for pointing out that pathway to send files to MobileMe. I was looking under Export.
    Yes, I know that some of my concerns may be better suited to other forums but all of my problems hinge around updating to Aperture 3 and Snow Leopard at the same time. Therefore I have no clue if it's one or the other or a toxic combination of both that has brought me such misery. My problems cross into several categories. I've prowled the forums (communities) for many months looking for advice.
    If I can ever get back into Aperture I will surely try your "update previews" suggestion. I did the Repair Permissions and it just finished as I was typing here. It opened Aperture for a couple of seconds and crashed in the background. I got the same crash with the Repair Database. I'm now doing the third Option/Command option in Aperture of rebuilding the database. I don't know what to do if those repairs/rebuilds don't work.
    I have the program on my number one hard drive with over 300 GB free space. My libraries are on my second 1 TB HD with 369 GB of free space. I've been accessing Aperture with nothing else running and that doesn't help. I have four 512 MB DDR2 FB-DIMM cards. I would love to have more RAM but that's all I've got right now. I also wonder if my Graphics Card is toast for the new OS and version of Aperture. I don't know enough about computers to figure this out and I'm hoping someone will have the solution I need.

  • Should I limit the number of photos in a gallery for the phone?

    I have a client with a desktop gallery with about 40 photos. Before I add them all to a phone version, I'm wondering if that's wise in terms of load time on a phone...
    Anyone have any suggestions for a ballpark number to use for the phone version so it won't take forever to load?
    (Size will be constrained to 340px wide and tall)
    Thanks!

    You can already do this...
    A Genius mix is limited to how many songs in the selected playlist fit the Genius mix profile.
    A Genius playlist is limited to 25, 50, 75 or 100 songs.
    A Genius playlist is a limited Genius mix.

  • Limit on Number of Roles per User

    We seem to have run into a limit on the number of roles that you can add to a user object. We are running IDM 5.0 sp1. Is this a know issue or is there a configuration setting we can change? The error that we are getting is as follows:
    com.waveset.util.InternalError: Summary String length (2697) exceeds maximum (2048).

    I got the solution for this problem
    1) Change the database to support more data in summary attribute
    2) Change the configuration--> repositoryconfiguration to support more data in summary attribute.
    Please note: After changing the configuration app server needs a restart.

  • Is there a limit to number of photos AppleTV screensaver can display?

    Hi, I have a album of 600 photos homeshared in iTunes from iPhoto 09 that the AppleTV sees. However, once the photos start playing only about 20 percent show up, the ones at the beginning of the album and not the ones at the end. Anyone else experience this or can talk about this? Is there a fix? Thanks!

    I have the same problem and it seems many others in these forums have a similar problem. Only hope it gets fixed with the next update. Big time dissapointing.
