LR3 Import dialog - Missing "Show in Library" option when importing existing photos

Please add the option "Show in Library" into the right click menu when attempting to import a photo that already exists in the LR3 catalog. It was a convenient feature in LR2 to jump directly to the existing photo. In LR3 I must cancel the import dialog and search the photo manually.

Maybe someone has a workaround?

Thanks Sean. Your reply worked. I found them in the wrong drive. Now I'll see if I can fix it.

Go to the Preferences>Performance tab and uncheck the "Use Graphics Processor" option. Adobe are aware of this issue, and are investigating, but in the meantime unchecking that option should sort out your Develop module issues.

TS2972 Since a recent Itunes upgrade I've lost the settings facility in home sharing to import tracks not in my library. When I check for updates I'm running the latest version. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

Import from iPhone shows outlines only, can't import

This has been a recurring issue for me for months. Here is a summary.
iPhoto 09 v8.0.4 (latest) sees my iPhone but the import dialog shows only outlines of the new photos and won't import to my MacBook Pro. I have tried suggestions in other threads including repairing permissions and creating a new iPhoto library but it still shows only outlines. I have attempted to import using Image Capture and it fails to save anything although it does see the iPhone just like iPhoto and Aperture.
This has happened with my previous 3G iPhone and now with my 3G S. It also happens if i try to import into Aperture.
At this point I am suspecting there is something corrupted in the Macbook Pro because when I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Air it sees everything fine.
Where should I look for the problem? I want to avoid restoring everything if possible. I just upgraded to iLife 09 but the problem existed prior to that.

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm currently trying the Image Capture route. I hate restoring my phone as I'm not sure if this is a long term fix or not. I'm exploring different options now and will let you know if I figure anything out.
Edit: figured a bit out– the "invisible" files I'm seeing are the files transferred from apps like hipstamatic, tilt shift generator, and camera+. I'll try contacting the devs of one of these apps to see if it's a common issue.
Edit #2: Figured out the rest. The "invisible" files had nothing to do with my problem. My problem was lack of hard drive space. Apparently 4GB (well over the amount needed to import the photos) wasn't enough. I deleted some files which bumped it to 10GB and now they import just fine. Hope this helps.

IPhoto won't show my shared photo stream as an option when sharing a photo

Hello all,
I am running Mavericks 10.9 and iPhoto 9.5.
I am trying to share some photos and videos from iPhoto on my iMac. I am the owner of a shared photostream, and when I select a photo or video, and select "Share," the shared photostream does not appear as an option.
On my iPhone, there are no problems sharing to this photostream. As far as I can tell, there have been no problems syncing with iCloud in general between my devices.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling my main Photostream, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have tried selecting this option via System Prefs, and it too doesn't seem to change anything. The main photostream will show as an option for sharing when enabled, but the shared photostream will not appear whether it is enabled or not.
Again, I can access the shared stream via my iPhone, but I'd like to be able to do it as well from my iMac. Any suggestions? I have a feeling it's supposed to work a bit smoother than this...:)
Thank you!

I had this problem too and people suggested switching off all the photosharing stuff, shutting down iphoto and then opening it back up and switching it all back on again.
This seemed to do the trick for me, but it's just taking a while for all the photos to download from the cloud again!

How do I enable the Move Option When Importing (It's Greyed Out)

Bonjour,
I am trying to figure out why Aperture 2 does not ask to delete photos from camera (Canon SD950 IS) after import or why the "move" option is 'greyed' out. I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality? I know that it is technically possible as the simple app "Image Capture" that comes with Leopard does exactly this.(Imports then Deletes from my camera) It's just that Aperture cost too much money in my opinion to force one to use an external app to do what you want done, especially since it is not a difficult function to perform as evidenced by aforementioned app in Leopard. TIA.
Hardware: 17' Glossy HiRes Mac Book Pro 3.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz 4GB Ram
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.3 All updates applied
App: Aperture 2.1
A bientot,
William.

Please don't take the following as a flame...
<quote>The move option is grayed out when importing from a card to save you from yourself. At least that's what I've always assumed.</quote>
That's a bit draconian don't you think? Why have the option greyed out if you don't want the user to be able to do this. It's kind of like saying hahah, this is possible to do, but, you, the user, are a moron. Why even place the option on the page in the first place.
<quote>It just happens to be a bug that few on this forum care to see fixed because most of us feel that using it is unwise due to the danger of lost images and corrupted cards.</quote>
Again, why put it on page as an option if it weren't intended to be enabled in a plist somewhere for those who wish to be 'unwise.'
My logic is as follows: If Apple provides software that is more accessible to the 'unwashed masses' (because it's included with Leopard ie. Image Capture) and it deletes images directly from the camera, then why would a professional package (Aperture) limit the so called 'professional' from designing and using his/her own workflow governed by their own experience. Which could include first a backup to dvd or other device of your choice (keyword here: CHOICE) THEN import images and delete directly from the camera. Logically this is completely BACKWARDS, the app available to the 'masses'(Image Capture) should NOT let the user delete images directly from the camera and the 'professional' app (Aperture) should allow more flexibility for the advanced user who understands the implications of his/her work flow and adjusts accordingly.
Besides, And I quote myself "I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality?"
Therefore, respectfully, your answer is: non sequitur.
Best Regards

Can I change default crop options when importing PDFs?

When importing PDFs into Photoshop CS3, the default cropping is Bounding Box. I change the popup to Media Box, but it reverts when I quit Photoshop. Is there a way to make Media Box the default?

I tried it and a Scripted opening of a pdf doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the dialog’s settings.
If You open with the same settings usually it might be possible to create a Script that opens pdfs with those settings right away – one would have to trade the comparative convenience of dragging the pdf on the psd-symbol and hitting OK for an open-dialog though, I guess.

E63 not showing switch off option when pressing re...

Recently my e63 not showing switch option when pressing red key however that key works for exit and cancel.So I am not able to switch off. Help me please.

Hi, alexbonn, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. No, there isn't.
2. I don't think so, though I'm not 100% certain. I believe the designers assumed that if you have your display open, (a) you want it to operate, and therefore (b) you want it to self-adjust its brightness for ambient light conditions, as it normally does when operating.
If you don't want the display open, you must operate the machine in clamshell mode, following all the instructions in the article you referenced. It isn't possible to start the machine up from a cold shutdown with its display closed.
If you don't want to use an external keyboard and mouse, and therefore can't use clamshell mode, you will just have to turn the backlight level down after each time you start the computer. That takes one second to do with the F1 key, so it shouldn't be too much of a bother. You could eliminate it by putting the computer to sleep instead of shutting it down. Each shutdown-and-startup process takes at least a full minute, so skipping it would save you far more time than finding a way to start the machine up with its display off. The machine also wakes from sleep far faster than it starts up from shutdown, and it remembers its display brightness setting when doing so.

Is this a bug? Document Library view has the wrong 'Show in Folders' option when created from custom site template.

I have a site with the default document library.
I add views to the library, some ask for the items to be shown in folders, some not.
I create a site template via the SharePoint UI.
I create a new site.
In the new site, the library exists, the views exist, but all the views are set to show the items in folders.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a patch or any workaround?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that view property "show all items without folders" is not preserved in packaging and is lost after we create a site using the saved site template.
For your issue, I can reproduce your scenario in my environment. It should be caused by the scope attribute is missing. For a workaround, you can try to crack the site template wsp, add the missing scope
attribute to the View schema in the list schema.xml.
Also, I recommend you open up a ticket for deep investigation.
Thanks,
Eric

Missing "show aperture library" command

Under File... this command is missing. I have the latest iphoto version. Any idea where it is?

It may be a preference file, other than iPhoto's, that's causing the conflict. Try the following to determine if that's the cause:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT1459 Imported Music not showing in library

I have Itunes version 11.0.1 - after a cd has been imported it does not show up in my itunes library. is this a simple thing to rectify?

Good! Sometimes you need to apply a little brute force.

Imported songs not showing in library...??

Help please! I've imported a few CDs and they are showing in my recently added playlist but not appearing in my library. How can I fix this so they show in my library?

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

Audiobook Not an Option when Importing Audio CD's

I am importing CD's and going through the steps of selecting all the tracks and Joining Tracks and then Submitting CD Name etc...Now when I go into CTR + I and in Info when I go to select AudioBook from the Genre I am not seeing that option. Therefore I can't get any AudioBook imported from an Audio CD to show up under Books in iTunes and eventually my iPhone/iTouch/iPad
Please Help
Thanks

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For compilation albums where each track is by a different artist you should also set Part of a compilation to Yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
Please note that giving different primary values the same sort value tends to confuse things and should be avoided. The problems may not be apparent initially but can strike as the library grows, or when content is added to a device.
