LR doesn't see TIFF files to import

I use an Android tablet to pre-process images. I saved a bunch back to the SD card into the same folder with the original RAW files and some newly created XMP files generated by the tablet. Then I removed the SD card and put it in a card reader on my Mac, and imported into LR 5.6.
LR only saw the ORF RAW files. It imported those, and the XMP data, successfully. But it never saw the TIFFS nor did it give me the option to import. I used the Finder to copy them to the Mac's filesystem, pointed LR at that folder, and it imported them successfully (although I forgot to have it move them to the same directory as the RAWs). I have successfully generated tons of TIFFs from within LR, and I've probably imported many as well, although truth be told I'm not sure.
What's the problem? is there a setting I missed somewhere? something about the format of the SD card (formatted in camera, so I assume Fat32).

I don't do jpg
The good news is I figured it out. For some reason I was usiing "Devices" in the import dialog, while I had been using "Files" before that. So in essence it was looking at /Volumes/SDcard. And I guess the "include subfolders" doesn't work there since I guess it's for iPhones, cameras and whatnot. I switched over to "Files," toggled the show subfolders on and off, and now all is right.
Thanks guys! This helped me zero in on the solution. And now I know I can use my tablet to create a subfolder to hold all the processed images, or the camera folder itself (for the XMPs).

2.1.4 doesn't see tiff files to import

Hello again
In dealing with the green overlay issue, I upgraded to 2.1.4.
I'm working on archiving (and restoring a bit) some old family photos, and while working out the green ghost, I decided they weren't sharp enough and decided to rescan them using a different scanner.
I scanned them at 1200 ppi and saved them in tiff format (16-bit grayscale and 48-bit colour) instead of jpg for better quality. I figured that would be fine since Aperture creates tifs when I edit in NIK plugins.
Tonight I opened Aperture and went to import my tiffs into a new project and there were no files to import. Which is strange, since I could see them right there in the finder.
So, I thought maybe they were too big, and opened one in PS, changed the mode to 8-bit grayscale and 600 ppi, but Aperture still didn't see it in the folder.
Soooo, I renamed the 2.1.4 Aperture app and reinstalled my 2.1.2 Aperture and ta-da! there were the files!
So 2.1.2 imported all the tiffs, large as they were, into my project (referenced). I closed this app, and reopened the 2.1.4 Aperture and sure enough, there in that new project were the images that it couldn't see to import for itself.
What gives?
Sure it's a work-around, but now i'm having to tolerate the green overlay and wait for aperture to think it over before it shows me some of my work, then I have to import with an earlier version just because it can't see the files, (on top of having to convert my RAW files to DNG when the camera came out 2 years ago) ... this is getting frustrating and is tres inefficient.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Elizabeth

Well, there you go. That solved the issue.
I didn't realize that Aperture would search it's existing projects to find 'duplicates'!
And yet, the names are different for the tiffs and jpgs, only the images themselves are the same.
I am befuddled.
Thank you for the solution, Tony

When I try to import files from iMac HDD into the event, it fails. FCPX dosn't see this files for import. Files are *.m2ts and *.mpg. Should I buy plagin Quicktime component MPEG-2 to resolve a problem?

no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

The XML format Premiere uses is not supported in FCPX. The only way I know of that may work is to go through FCP7 and then use 7toX to get to FCPX.

Import doesn't see new files

I am saving a file from Elements 9 into a folder that is managed by LR3. Usually when i save to this folder I go into LR3 and do a sync folder and the file shows up. All of a sudden this has gotten very squirrely. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. when i saved the file to my desktop and try to do an import from there, LR doesn't even see the file at all, which is why i'm guessing the sync isn't working. I've tried saving them as JPG, PSD, TIFF all with no success. anyone else seen this problem?
i am running a mac with snow leopard 10.6.5, LR3 3.2, PSE9.

Lr will only sync with your desktop if there are already images within your library that are already stored there. Likewise, it will only sync with subfolders if "Include subfolders" is enabled in Import window.

I can't see tiff files

I'm trying to import tiff files into aperture from a epson scanner but I can't even see them. Any answers? thanks

I´ve just tried the same thing from a Plustek scanner with Silverfast and Tiff. I cannot see the picture in fit to screen mode, but if i zoom in to 100% or larger, i could see the picture. Everything works, except size from thumb, who is working, and up to 100%, who is also working. M.

Bridge doesn't open tiff files in photoshop

When I click a TIFF file in Adobe Bridge, the files is opened in a Windows viewer, not in Photoshop as I prefer.

I appreciate your feedback, Ron, but although your answer is technically correct, it doesn't give the full story. What I found via Adobe Support is that I needed, in Adobe Bridge, to (1) go to Edit > Preferences> File associations; (2) Scroll down to TIFF (.tif, .tiff); (3) click the down arrow then click "Browse..."; (4) Find Photoshop.exe and select it through this path (in my Windows computer): C: > Program Files (x86)> Adobe> Adobe Photoshop CC> Photoshop.exe; (5) Then, press "Open", note that Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 is listed next to TIFF and click "OK".
It worked!

Distiller Doesn't See PS File...

After creating a pdf from a ps file in a particular folder, if I save another ps in that same folder and return to make another pdf file, Distiller doesn't see it. I have to quit distiller in order to go back to that same folder to see the ps. This is a new thing that came about, I have been able to do this successfully in the past. Distiller Version 6.0.2, MAC OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas?

That's weird... Everything is in the same folder... Ah, never mind, I have found the solution in the meantime Like with dvips, I have command (which I didn't know I had ) ps2pdf... And everything works there...

I updated to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5. After the update, Aperture doesn't see referenced files. I get "No Referenced Files"

I updated to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5. All my images are referenced on a stand-alone drive. After the update, Aperture displays thumbnails, but I can't edit because Aperture doesn't see the referenced file ("image offline") and when choose all of my images and I run locate referenced files ... I get "No Referenced Files." I don't get the screen to "look" for the files.

Aperture doesn't see all Pictures for import

I am having problems with Aperture finding photo files for importing. I set the family tree (having tried various routes) for viewing various folders and the images that I know are in the folder, just dont appear!

Have you tried to toggle between folders in the Aperture Import panel? I noticed, that it takes some time for the image files to appear in the Import window. And Aperture does not seem to refresh the Import Browser window, when you move files around.
So try the following:
Close the "Import" panel in Aperture.
In the Library Inspector panel make sure, you have a library item selected, that you can import to, not the Trash or something, otherwise the Import window might appear to be empty in AP 3.4.
Check again the settings.
Then select the folder you want to import from in the Import panel. Wait a moment for the images to appear. If the do not appear, switch to a different folder and then back.
If that still will not show your photos, switch between different "File Types" settings.
If none of this helps, check, if Aperture will see the Desktop or Pictures folder, if you are importing into a different Aperture library.
If even a new library does not help, it may be a problem of corrupted Preferences. Then you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in MacOS X 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

New laptop doesn't see iPhone after user import from old laptop

Transferred my user account from my MacBook to new MacBook Pro, and now the MBP doesn't see my iPhone. Anyone else have this issue and know the solution? I don't mind wiping and restoring the iPhone. (Though I'd prefer not to.)
BTW - deleted my account and all files from the MacBook prior to verifying my iPhone works on the new MacBook Pro. So I can't "go back" to my old machine.

Once again, I answer my own question... Leaving the iPhone plugged in during a restart worked.

New iTunes Library doesn't see .aif file

I gathered my music into one new library on a new external HD but it didn't gather in the .aif file I made as an audio track for a movie. I can see it and click on it but it comes up with a QuickTime player window. If I play it, the track plays but doesn't get added to my new library. On the other hand, if I open iTunes from the old library (which I thankfully kept) it shows up and plays through iTunes. Since I need to occasionally burn this file to CD I would really like to have it with the rest of my music. So? What's going on? This track was created using Audacity if that matters.

I don't know what "gathering" involves. Have you tried simply dragging the file to an iTunes playlist to add it?

I Tunes 6 doesn't see all files

I have my I Tunes folder on an external firewire drive. I notice if I search for certain songs, or artists on the drive I Tunes doesn't find it. If I open the I Tunes folder I see the songs and artists in folders. Any help plz

First go to Preferences->Advanced and make sure your music folder location is set to that external drive. If not change it to that, also make sure "copy music to iTunes folder" is ON.
If some music is still not showing up in the iTunes library, go File->Add to Library and choose the iTunes Folder on your external drive. It will look through the foler and it will add any music not already in the LIbrary. It will not create duplicates.
Does that work?

TIFF Files Not Importing!! Help!!

I have a whole batch of Photoshop illustrations (NOT photos) that are in TIFF format. each one is about 20MB each, and for some reason i cannot load them into iPhoto, nor can I open them in Preview.
any thoughts as to why this is? I want to put the drawings together and order a book using iPhoto 5, but obviously I can't get them in.
I CAN convert them to JPEG and they load in fine and look correct, but i'm afraid i'm going to lose crucial color data by compressing them.
Help! any thoughts, solutions, or shoulders to pout on?

I checked the permissions and they are Read & Write - thank you for that advice.
I went back to trace some steps and here's what i'm doing. maybe this might shed light? i don't know for sure:
1. create the illustrations in Photoshop (RGB)
2. Flatten the layers, convert to CMYK
3. Save image on hard drive as TIF with a name like: XXXXX01.tif
* now here's where a problem begins
4. i noticed that when i save in Photoshop, a message like, "Some files being saved contain non latin characters, they will be incompatible with some browsers"
5. the file is saved and can be opened again, without problem, in Photoshop.
I am guessing that perhaps this might have some relation to why the files may not import into iPhoto the way they should.
in retracing my steps, i tried saving these files with different names, as RGB, as .RAW, as .EPS and in as many profile configurations i could think of - all with the same final result: could not import into iPhoto.
I really appreciate the consideration in trying to help me with this. any further thoughts or feedback would be very much appreciated.

DNG converter 7.1 doesn't see NEF files

I've been using a previous version (4.5) of the DNG Convertor without any problems.
I downloaded 7.1 version after buying a Nikon D800.
However when navigating to folders the program sees NO files (D800, Nikon D3, RAW, jpg. or otherwise) saying "no items match your search" once the folder is opened.
Please help. Computer is Windows PC running Vista Home Premium.

Jim,
Please see my response to your answer on the adjacent posting - just to reiterate, I can see and try to select a folder I know to contain NEFs, but the program says "no folder selected" so that's that basically it and I can go no further. I've been using an earlier version of the dng converter which behaves in the way you outline with no problems at all. However I need the new version for D800 NEFs. I've tried to post a screenshot of the window where I select a folder. - I see the image isn't very clear but I've selected a folder outlined in blue on the left in the browsing window and the large window says "no items match your search"
