Microsoft Word:mac - Batch Import Photos from file

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to montain lion and the latest update to the office:mac 2011. I have noticed that my automator workflow is now no longer working. I created a workflow that allowed the batch importing of photos into a document. The workflow works if you run it from within automator but does not work from within word.
I have also noticed that the sample workflows now no longer work. Very strange. I did some searching on the internet and other people have posted these issues on forums but no one suggested a solution.
Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Adrian

You're very close to what needs to be done. Make sure that your new presentation is in a view that shows slide thumbnails (either Navigator or Light Table view). Then, when you select the photos, drag to the thumbnail area. This action will create a separate slide for each photo that was dragged and dropped in the thumbnail area.

Photos for Mac stuck importing photos from iPhone

I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac from Aperture. Upgrading the library went fairly smoothly. On my first attempt to import photos from my iPhone 6, Photos is now stuck in the import process.
The import tab (device selected) shows the following:
Already imported (2,509 items)
New items (442 items)
No thumbnail images are visible (just the default grey squares indicating items)
At the top of this screen is an import progress bar that has not shown any progress. This progress indicator says "Importing 442 items" but the bar itself remains grey; I'm assuming there would be either a black or colored indicator showing some progress when the import process is working correctly.
After about an hour with no indication of progress, I selected the "Stop Import" option, with no noticeable results. I tried clicking the Stop Import button several more times, still with no results. Let things be for about five minutes, with no change in status. The import still seems stuck; clicking the stop button does nothing.
Next, I quit the Photos application. An error sheet appears: "Do you want to continue importing? Photos is currently importing files. If you quit the import task will be canceled." I select "Quit".
Now Photos gets stuck closing the library. All app windows close except for a tiny square that says: "Closing the library..." The library does not close and I run out of patience waiting for it to do so and force quit the application.
I am using a 27-inch late-2009 iMac
8GB memory
2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
177GB storage space available
Photos 1.0
Photo library is approx. 107GB

Update: Force Quitting and restarting the app apparently solved whatever was preventing importation of photos from the iPhone.

Batch import lyrics from file

Hello
I have collected lyrics over the years. They are written in text files. Is there a way to batch import these lyrics into itunes? or do I have to do it one at a time? I have looked at many of the importer/search apps but none seem to have the capabilities of searching a file folder on the hard drive. Might be missing something here.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

In Library Module, select Grid Mode. Select all images you wish to read metadata from. Go to Metadata>Read Metadata from Files
Similarly, you can edit time for time zone/ AM-PM issues, etc by going to Metadata>Edit Capture Time

Can't import photos from files and folders

Elemetns 11-- jsut bought it yesterday. Have used previosu versions for years but not on this pc.
Each time I try to import, it goes thorugh some number of photos, up through 2,00 plus sometimes and then says import failed and I get nothing. It claims the file is the wrong type (only jpgs and psds). I don't know what the stumbling block is or why elements doesn't jut ignore files it can't read and go on to the next.
Any help. AT this point Elements is totally useless for me.
tia,

After posting I tried importing one directory at a time until I found one that made elements screw up.
thentry smalll groups of files in that directory until I, like running through a binary tree, narrowed down the offending file.
Then I remoce that one file and continue searching for the next file What should have been a single operation taking minutes was very tedious, manually wading going through hundreds of directories and thousand of files.
Outcome: there were 3 troublesome files (each in a different directory) holding up the import of more than 11,800 files. Shame Elements couldn't just offer to skip a file it didn't like instead of self-cancelling the whole import operation. cost me many hours of time. I'd call this a critical bug in the program error handling. I am amazed that a program this old, that's gone through as many revisions as the elements organizer has a bug in th error handling like this.

I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
still import the JPEGS.

Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac

HOW DO I IMPORT PHOTOS FROM MY EMAIL TO MY MAC? Please!!!

How do I import photos from my email account to my mac?

Always works: download them to your hard drive and then either drag them to the iPhoto Window or use the File -> Add to Library command.
Other than that, without knowing your email set up, it's hard to suggest any more.

Import jpeg formatted photos from files

Hi there,
I am a new MacBook Pro owner with Leopard 10.5.1 and iLife 08. Absolutely impressed by the system, but a bit disappointed that importing JPEG formatted photos from files sometimes results in garbled photos in iPhoto and Aperture, even though the originals are simply fine. Tried to used other software like GIMP, but the issue remains.
Is this a known Mac OS X problem? If so, does anyone have a solution for it?
I would be eternally grateful for any help I can get on the isue.

How do you import photos from your scanner on to your mac book?

When you scan an item the resulting scan is stored as an image file on the computer.

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

TS1501 transferring a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro (this way you can upload one album at a time, file them into a new album on macbook pro) Pls. advise.

How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro? In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.) Not working for me! Macbook pro does include iphoto. I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.) Help! Goal is to keep albums together.

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
UGH!
HELP!

Can't import photos from finepix A345 to iPhoto or Finepix viewer mac ibook

I had previously imported photos from my fuji finepix A345 camera to iPhoto on my macBookPro 10.4.9. Now I am trying to import new images from the same camera and iPhoto displays a message "no photos to import". I have installed Finepix viewer but it also shows no images to import. I have tried creating a new library on a second non admin account and still iPhoto says "no images to import". I was able to successfully import the same images to my thinkpad T41.
Please help me find a way to import photos from finpix A345 to my mac ibook pro. Note there are no movies in the photos I am trying to import. Thanks.

Are you sure there are images on the card you're importing from? (asking that just in case you chose to 'delete after download' with another computer).
Also, have you perhaps formatted the camera drive/card via another computer instead of from the camera itself?
If your MBP can read the card so can your Macbook. You might want to open 'Image Capture', then go to Preferences and make sure you have an application selected to 'launch' when a camera is connected.
