MY IMPORT BUTTON HAS VANISHED!

I have recently upgraded to iphoto6 and the blue import button in my library has vanished. Is that no longer an option? I have imported 10,000 photos in the past 3 years via a flash card reader by using this very basic import function and cannot figure what has happened to the button. As an alternative, I went to File > Import to Library but could not figure out where to find the card reader. I then tried to import photos directly from my camera (Nikon D50) and nothing happened when I plugged in the cable both with iphoto closed and then open.
Help...I need to have an empty flash card in the morning!
PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

When you do File > Import to Library can you navigate
to the Desktop, and do you see your card reader at
the Desktop level? That's where my card reader goes.
I select columns view in the Finder so that I can see
which pictures I need to import.
Or, if that doesn't work...
Can you import using Image Capture?
Thanks for the advice. When I tried to go to File > Import to Library I was not able to find the card reader but I figured out after that attempt that the port I was using (the front port in the G5 tower) was not working....this probably would have worked if I'd plugged the card reader into the rear port which what I ended up doing with a cable connected directly to my camera.

  • I upgraded from 3.6 and could not get the orange Firefox button but only a grey one with misaligned commands. When I hit View/Menu Bar even this button has vanished and the screen resembles 3.6

    I use Win7 on a desktop PC. I upgraded Firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Where there should have been the orange firefox button was a grey button 'Firefox' with a small arrow. on clicking this the commands were there, but not properly aligned. There was also no minimise/maximise/exit buttons on the top right of the screen. I checked 'Help' and found no info. I then turned on View/Menu Bar. The minimise/maximise/exit buttons appeared; the grey button vanished and the screen now resembles FF 3.6. However About tells me that I am using 4.0.
    BTW, I also tried various Beta versions in 2010 and abadnoned them because the same problem happened.

    The orange Firefox menu button will only appear if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    Are you using a custom theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) ?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Import button not active on Aperture import tool

    I have a rMBP 15" (early 2013) model, and I was trying to import Aperture library (about 300GB) to Lightroom using import tool.
    However, as I try to Import, Number of Image/video files and Disk space required remained undetermined and Import button has not been active for two hours.
    What can I do? Just wait?

    I too have exactly the same problem (the "Import" button on the Lightroom plug-in to import from Aperture library is not available).
    The import button on the Adobe plug-in tool to import from my Aperture library is not available.  It's greyed out.
    I've tried the "repair permissions" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac).  Aperture appears to fix the file permissions successfully (no error messages). However, the Adobe Lightroom import tool still shows the "Import" button greyed out.
    I've tried the "repair database" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac).  Aperture appears to fix the database successfully (no error messages).  However, Adobe Lightroom import tool still fails to show an active "Import" button (still greyed out).
    Finally, I've tried the "rebuild database" option in Aperture ("Command+Options keys held while starting Aperture.app on my iMac).  Aperture appears to rebuild the database successfully (no error messages).  However, Adobe Lightroom import tool still fails to show an active "Import" button (still greyed out)
    The vital statistics for my aperture file are:
      Version: Aperture Library 3.6
      Filename: Aperture Library.aplibrary
      Filesize: 136.08 GB
      # Projects: 403
      # Photos: 27,392
      Permissions:
        myself     Read + Write
        staff         Read
        everyone Read
    This is very frustrating.  Did Adobe rush this import tool out too quickly without adequate testing?
    Adobe, if you are listening please fix this issue with your Aperture import tool ASAP.  Otherwise, I and a lot more users will be asking for our money back on the Creative Cloud plan we selected and are now paying for on a monthly basis!

  • In iPhoto the option to edit in photoshop elements  has vanished

    The option in iPhoto>pref>advanced>Edit in>Iphoto or PSE (Photshop Elements) has vanished!! My only option now is to edit in iPhoto or iPhoto library!! I usually edit my RAW files in ACR which has always opened when I hit edit in IPhoto,,,
    Help!! Does anyone know what to do???

    I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Having a problem with "open" and "import" buttons!

    Hello all,
    I am having some trouble with a basic function in Logic. When I go to "file" and select "import," the window of options appears. However, when I select a file and click the "import" button, literally nothing happens. I have had a similar problem, when I go to the "file" menu and select "open." A window will appear for me to browse to the logic file I want to open, but when I click "open," nothing happens. However, if I manually go to the file and double-click it, then the file will open. The drop-down is set to "All logic document types," though I have tried "all Logic songs" with the same problem. Please help!
    Best,
    Jon

    you know whats funny, this project has to do with arrays of objects and not inheritance. We learned inheritance last week but the lab we are doing which is this, is for arrays of objects. sorry for the confusion lol. so you can completely ignore this, it actually has it in big bold letters at the top of the web page for the lab.

  • HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works.  At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

    Help!  I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works.  I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter.  At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer.  No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work.  There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import.  The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live.  In other words, I can see it but not click on it.  I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem.  How can I get the Import button to work? 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I get an error while changing modules pop up when opening Lr. There is no import button to use and if I try to load the default catalog I get the error message again essentially making Lr completely unusable for me! please help

    When launching Lr i get the initial screen to come up followed by an "error while changing modules" pop up.

When the app starts it has the basic info boxes but without any options in them (i.e. no import button or any buttons at all for that matter).All my other creative cloud apps seem to be working fine but Lr won't.

    Ah, see, you said you had done it differently before.
    > and I tried to add a toolbox button by navigating to AcroPDF.dll.
    You'll need to reinstall Reader if the libraries aren't registered. You can't register them manually.
    Perhaps if you posted some of your code (where it creates the objects, etc.) we might be able to give you some more advice. You're sure you aren't trying to use anything outside of the AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF class?

  • Importing buttons

    The problem is that whanever i import a button from the library-when i attempt to change its text/label this applies for all the buttons imported in the document.
    I want each imported button to have its own text.
    Despite, in the relevant pop-up window(where i am asked to choose yes or no if the text change will be applied to the other buttons also) i choose no, this has no effect, if for example i have
    imported 4 buttons and i change the text to one, this will have effect also to the others.
    Well, how do i fix it?

    Yep, Linda is wonderful. Could you mark this as answered please? It helps others who want to help by not checking topics already answered :-)

  • HT4527 got to the end of these instructions but the import button isn't active. I can see my whole library though. what now?

    Got to the end of these instructions for transferring library to new computer. Can see my library via home sharing but the import button is not active. How do I continue?

    I'm sorry to be so incredibly dense. The article to which you linked says:
    "If the computer is already authorized, the item plays. If the computer has not yet been authorized, iTunes asks you to enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the song."
    I can play songs from my husband's library. I can't drag them into my library.
    If deauthorizing/authorizing is the solution, who needs to do what? We've got three computers and two iTunes accounts.

  • Since downloading iTune10.4.1 I can't import from shared libraries. The import button is gone.

    The show menu and import buttons are no longer at the bottom of the iTunes window when i am accessing a shared library since the last iTunes upgrade. Has any one else had this problem and, more importabtly, how do you fix it?

    I have the same exact problem! I can go into between the shared libraries and see them, however there is no "Show" dropdown menu on the bottom or Import button on the bottom!! Why is this???
    Thanks

  • Home Sharing Problem: Import Button & "Show" Dropdown menu are missing?

    Hi Everyone,
    My wife and I are both running iTunes on Macbook Pros and we are both logged into eachother's iTunes libraries through Home Sharing accounts. However, the Import button on the bottom has disappeared, so has the "Show" dropdown menu that is typically to the left of the Import button on the bottom of the screen when you are in the other person's Music Library. The Show dropdown memu typically displays the options: All and Not in Library. We can play and listen to each other's music, however we can't Import songs. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem??
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    To clarify as I have this problem repeatedly here is the description and the cure.
    Sharing is enabled in the sharing tab.  Other computers can see this computers library but cannot import.  The icon for the home sharing doesn't show the "house" - it just shows some musical notes.
    This means that home sharing is not enabled.  JUST SHARING.
    In Itunes 11 use: File/Menu/Home Sharing/Turn on Home sharing.
    But you are not done.
    When home sharing shows up now in the left panel - click it. The right panel will present a sign on for your apple ID.  Sign on and enable home sharing.
    Then you will be able to import form the target computer again.
    It gets disabled with OS upgrades and sometimes with iTunes updates.
