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

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 the catalog. In LR3 I must cancel the import dialog and search the photo manually which I find a not ideal workflow.

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

Import dialog shows iPhone twice, and photo list only shows outlines

In Aperture 2.1.2 I have been able to import photos from my iPhone until just recently. Now the import dialog shows three choices of import devices/locations, Local Disk, RJH iPhone and a second RJH iPhone. If I select either iPhone the main window displays outlines of 7 images but no picture information except for the filename. If I actually try to import the pics it says 'Import completed with errors, the following files were not imported' and it lists all the filenames. One of the iPhone devices shows up in the import list EVEN WHEN THE iPHONE IS NOT CONNECTED!
I'm sure there is a plist or something that has the list of import devices bu I have not been able to find it despite extended web and support searches.
Anyone heard of this?

OK, I have since discovered that the second iPhone device is listed only when my iPhone is plugged into a DIFFERENT USB port on my MBP. If I plug it into the same port I usually use, it is only listed one. However, both Aperture and iPhoto still see one iPhone device whether it is plugged in or not, and both show images with outlines only and won't import photos. So strange

Picture shows in library but when i open develop it shows a blue screen with a diaginal cross

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.

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.

HT1473 Problem importing music; music imported not showing in library

ITunes is really becoming a pain in the ***. I'm really ****** right now. Three days ago my new album purchase could not be located after it downloaded. I had to spend more time trying to make it work. Cd imported today does not show in library.

Thanks. I've installed the back up disc, but itunes doesn't ask me if I want to restore. Even though itunes is my default player, a screen appears asking If want to play using real player, or media player, or do nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

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.

Flash 8 - Import box won't pop up when importing .psd files

You would not be importing to iPhoto to edit the movies, they should go directly to iMovie. iMovie also has an option to upload directly to YouTube.
You really need to ask on the iMovie forum. A couple of tips:
You don't mention what format these movies are. I note that this camera shoots both AVCHD and MP4. You need to explain which you are shooting.
Also, be sure to mention which version of iMovei you have.

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

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.

Photos on my Mac show the wrong date when imported from a portable Hard Drive

I’ve got loads of photos that I had imported from my old PC.Last night I decided to start going through them and trying to get them sorted
prior to importing into iphoto. I discovered that some of the pictures (in particular ones I have taken from my old Iphone) all had the same date and time
assigned to them. When I checked the Exif details, it listed the correct camera etc, but the date created seems to have changed to the date I copied them to my portable hard drive.
I thought this was strange as when they were on my PC I thought they were correct. I booted my PC up and checked the portable hard drive on Windows. When viewed on my PC the pictures all have the correct time and date assigned to them. However when I plug the same portable hard drive into my Mac the same files show up as being created on a more recent date (say 20th Jan 2013).
I’ve done a lot of research last night, although I can find no forum with this exact problem, I feel it must have something to do with compatibility. The portable hard drive is FAT32, and I am assuming that in order to ensure all of the photos information is transferred correctly in needs to be NTFS.
The problem I have is how do I transfer my files again from my PC to an NTFS drive, whilst keeping all of the correct date and time information assigned to the photos. My understanding is that the 2 aren’t compatible.
Has anyone ever had this problem? It mainly seems to be with photos I have extracted from my Iphone or edited in some form by rotating them.
I have a 13" Macbook Pro Retina with OSX Mavericks installed.

What you may want to do is archive as a Zipfile the photos and then transfer them to the Mac.     It is possible some of the metadata is being lost on the FAT32 formatting.    USB Flashdrive might work better than a FAT32 formatted hard drive, as I do know that most USB Flashdrives are formatted about the same as SD media cards, which manage to preserve the data when copied from camera to Mac.    My big question is, do you still have the photos on media cards? You might just want to get a media card reader on your Mac, if the photos are not on SD cards, and transfer them over with the media card reader.
I do believe Retina MacBook Pros all have SD card readers built-in.
Note: I've asked this be moved to the MacBook Pro forum. MacBook without the secondary name refers to the consumer notebook Apple stopped making in 2011.

Hour glass showing instead of thumbnails when importing new photos

I just started using Photoshop 10. When I import photographs from my camera or from any other source, the thumbnails do not show in the catalog, I can only see an hourglass.
If I click on the hourglass, the picture opens and the picture shows perfectly, so the file is there. However when I close the picture an d go back to the "show all" the thumbnails still does not work, it only shows an hour glass.
This was not happening when I was using Adobe Photoshop 9 and I am still using the same Windows Vista computer.

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.
