Need Help with importing from iphoto

I am having trouble importing from iphoto it will allow my pics to show up but if I try to drag them to the frame below it will begin to import and then an error message will pop up say import error (-4960) what do i do to fix this.

Hi bline:
Memory should be a problem (as you have already figured out).
Perhaps you should do some basic maintenance first:
Repair permissions (if you don't know how-look here:)

Perhaps download a free program to clean up unneeded files:
Cache Out X

Also, you said "It's letting me see my title options but not apply them. I also don't know how to get that black page in there."
You just drag the titles or transitions to the timeline-no need to "apply".

Need help with importing into iPhoto.

I have a bit of an annoying problem when it comes to importing pictures into iPhoto (5.0.4). When I plug my camera into my computer, iPhoto launches and presents me with the import pictures option. However, it's not much of an option, as I can only choose to import all my pictures on the camera! More often than not, I only want to import some of the pictures, and rename them as well (instead of just "Image_0001.jpg", "Image_0002.jpg", etc.) To do this, I go through some really annoying steps:
1.) Plug in camera and start the Picture import app (not iPhoto).
2.) Choose what pictures I wish to import, and import.
3.) Start up Automator.
4.) Tell Automator to get the selected pictures of the ones I have imported, rename them (eg. "Iceland 1", "Iceland 2", etc.), import to iPhoto and finally delete the source pictures.
5.) Repeat with the other pictures (eg. "Sweden 1", "Sweden 2", etc.).
Done!
Now, my question is... is there an easier way? This method I just described is long, annoying and time consuming! So, is there a way to...
1.) Only import some pictures from my camera (not all), from within iPhoto?
2.) Is there any way to change the name of the actual file (not just the title of the picture in iPhoto) from within iPhoto?
3.) Does iPhoto have to copy all my pictures to a specific folder on my hard drive which I can't change?
4.) (Not relating to iPhoto...) Is there any way of changing the names of a number of files from within the Finder to sequential file names (eg. "File 1", "File 2", "File 3", etc.) without the use of Automator?
Thanks for any help. It's very much appreciated.

Need help with import from iPlanet

I'm trying to sychronize OID with our company's existing iPlanet LDAP server. I keep receiving a mapping failure error in the logs, and it didn't get more descriptive when I set the debug level to 16. A good place to start for me would be to understand how to use the mapping rules to do exactly what I'm trying to do. Could anyone help me with this given the following information?
What I want to do is import all users in ou=People,o=myorg.org with OID users for Portal authentication (cn=users,dc=myorg,dc=org). The unique value in the source LDAP directory is the uid. I do not have the luxury of creating a dedicated account on the source to connect to. The source is setup as anonymous read, though. So I've set my connection account to ou=People,o=myorg.org. Is this correct?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen

Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greg

Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Need help on import from external drive!

I just imported several thousand pictures from an external drive into iphoto 08--unfortunately all photos are listed as one big event--I am now a little confused as to what to do next---I would like them to be imported in the original files (years) if possible...thanks for the help!

In iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> Preferences ==> events) under AutoSplit events you need to check "Imported items from finder" before you import
Probably the best thing to do *IF THE ONLY THING IN YOUR LIBRARY* is this import is to trash the iPhoto Library from your pictures folder, verify your preference settings and reimport

Need help with restoring from backup.

My wife's macbook pro ( 2.53 processor 4 GB Ram) recently had its hard drive call it quits.
I ran a back up the day prior to taking it to the Apple store, they replaced it with a 500 GB hard drive for very cheap. That I am very grateful for.
I came home, wife has already logged on/set up the laptop as a new laptop. Apple upgraded the OS while it was in their possession to 10.9.2. The last back up was on Mountain lion 10.8.
How can I get all the files (iPhoto being hugely important) from the 10.8 backup onto this 10.9 laptop? I can't restore from Time Machine because it isn't the correct OS nor is the same laptop (in its mind due to new hard drive and her setting up as a new laptop.)
I greatly appreciate the help in advanced, any links or "How to" threads would be wonderful!!!

Look at the options presented here:

Need HELP with importing high definition tape

I am using Imovie 6HD - and trying to import a high definition tape from a CanonHV20. After importing the first tape I had a screen saying LETTERBOXING which went on for ever. I noticed it made black border tp/botom on the frames. I don't want that. What should I do - I have more tapes to import.
What settings do I need? As mentioned I used High Definition Tapes so I would like to have a high definition movie/dvd. Also after burning the dvd I suppose I can play that on any tv?? Please help with detail explanation!!
Thanks.

no such thing.. DVDs are allways 'Standard'-only.

Need help with sum from previous years

Hi All,
In a report i have 4 fields. The first field shows the YTD invoice totals for the current FY 2010 (which i accomplished). The other 3 fields are :
2nd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 1YEAR prior to the current year
3rd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 2YEAR's prior to the current year.
4th field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 3YEAR's prior to the current year.
How can i get the desired results for the second,third and the fourth fields, please need help or advice.
Thanks

Hi
If you have the values for several years in the same report you should be able to do what you want using the analytic LEAD and LAG.
LAG will retrieve values from previous rows whereas LEAD will retrieve values from following rows.
The basic syntax is the same and look like this:
LAG(value, offset) OVER ({optional_partition_clause} ORDER BY mandatory_order_clause)
The ORDER BY clause is mandatory and cannot be omitted. However, this ORDER BY has nothing to do with the sort order you manually create in the worksheet. Generally, most people will set their sort order the same as the ORDER BY in the calculation.
Here's an example that gets year to date from 2 financial years ago:
LAG(YTD,2) OVER (ORDER BY FY)
You have to understand that Discoverer will pull values from previous rows not from previous cells as displayed on the report, although if the cells may happen to be rows too then it will appear as though it is pulling previous cells. I personally am very experienced with analytuc functions and can make manipulate data within Discoverer just about any way that I want. Generally, if I can see data on the screen even when they are in different cells or rows I can create functions to manipulate it. This capability only comes about as a result of experience and I would strongly advise you to practice with the analytics and see if you can at least master some of them. You'll find your Discoverer capabilities will improve dramatically and you will become a great asset at work.
When working with a new report I generally duplicate the report as a table so that I can see the values. Then if I need to sort the items in order to line up the values I want to work with I do so. Having worked out what sort order I need I can then see what offset I use then I create the analytic and use it in the main worksheet.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Help with importing photos - IPhoto assigning file names that already exist

When I import photos from my canon powershot camera, IPhoto has begun assigning file names that are the same as filenames that already exist on photos imported previously. It appears it is deleting those older files (when I go look in my photo library, the older one with the same name is now gone).
I don't know how to name photos as they are imported as it seems to be done automatically and I'm afraid to import more photos and loose my old pics. Can't find anything on the internet when I search on this question - can anyone help?

Thanks so much for your quick reply, TD.
What happens when I plug in my camera is that Iphoto opens, asks me if I want to import photos (and if I want to delete originals), and I click okay or whatever and they are imported. I name the roll/folder, and I photo puts them in the library in that folder in that year.
It makes sense that the camera is numbering them. I think that the ones it is using the same numbers for (ie - IMG0080.jpg) are the numbers on older photos that were assigned by a different camera that we used to have.
So I guess the canon isn't searching on all photo names that have been used, just the ones that it has used in the past.
Unfortunately, when the new photo is named with the same name as an old one, that old one is literally deleted - at least as far as I can tell - and when I go look for it in my photo library, it is no longer there.
I might try to see if there are any help forums for the canon powershot and see what I might learn there.
THanks so much for your help!

Need help with Importing These Kinds of Excel Data Sheets

hy there, Can someone Assist me with this.
I got a package in SSIS. where I need to import Excel data sheets.
Those sheets are coming from Cube.
And So their format is bit different
Kindly help me how to import those With DATA FLOW TASK.
And ,
As you can see Excel sheets got Filter on their Columns.
So I am Getting much often Errors in importing those sheets Via DATA FLOW TASK.
Thanks In Advance.
# Note.
I can not Edit each Excel File Before running packages.
Packages are automated.
And also the sheets are automated, they get store in the FTP on a cyclic job.
So Have to Do it on PAckage level

You cannot hit a moving target, your data quality is at risk, too. Even if a package succeeded there is still a degree of suspect whether the data ended in the right place.
You can create a helper program that checks for data integrity, e.g. a series of SQL queries can be executed against the source to pinpoint what metadata shape the Excel arrived in. Then branch the package flow based on one or the other variant (there will
be only a handful). The branching can be done by using Precedence Constraints. Hey, but see what I say about above.

Okay than I must do it differently. OR get the source in a better and secured manner.

Need help with rebuilding and iPhoto folder

I'm new to this Apple support thing, but sort of desperate. I was an idiot and renamed some photographs in the iPhoto folder that is accessed from Finder.
**(side note: it would be nice if there was something with iPhoto that informed users this is a bad idea. I didn't like the number format used in the iPhoto finder folder, and found it hard to find anything when trying to upload something to the internet, so I tried to change this- using actual iPhoto first, which didn't work- and have now discovered the consequences the hard way.)
All of my photographs are backed up to an external hard drive, but unfortunately they are all still goofed up, as well. (I can open them in Preview, but not in iPhoto). I've gone through rebuild, which didn't work, and am now trying something suggested here, which is to rename the folder "iPhoto Library_old" and then create a new library. This is working to an extent. When I am done, a window pops up telling me that I have unreadable files and that "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
I have definitely learned from this and will never touch the folder in the future, but if anyone has any idea of how to fix this problem, I would be incredibly grateful.

That is an incredibly helpful suggestion; thank you very much! I think the unreadable files are actually thumbnails. Another post explained that iPhoto doesn't re-import thumbnails from an old library because it creates its own.
Just one last quick question- when I've uploaded pictures from my "iPhoto Library_old" folder, for each roll there are the regular pictures and identical ones (unless they've been cropped, turned, etc.) called originals, presumably because they look like the original photo did. Can I delete these originals without hurting my library?
Thank you so much for your help!

Need help adding originals from iphoto library to Aperture

Hey all,
I have a Macbook Pro 2010 17" i7 that I use for Aperture projects. Previously, my setup worked like this: I was running Snow Leopard, with both Aperture and iPhoto installed. I had all of my photo masters/originals in my iPhoto library, and I referenced them to my Aperture library.
I recently upgraded to a dual SSD+HDD setup and performed a clean install with Mavericks. What I would like to do now - since I don't use iPhoto anymore and I use Aperture exclusively for my photo projects - is to move, not copy, my iPhoto masters into either my current Aperture library, or a new one, if that's necessary. As a test run, I had already consolidated most of my photos before I did the upgrade, but it created many duplicates in my Aperture library: the master copy, and the referenced copy.
Once I get everything moved to Aperture, I will simply delete the iPhoto library, since I won't use it, and all the originals will now reside in the Aperture library. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to do this, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply Najinsky!
I originally imported the photos using "Import files" not the actual iPhoto library.
Well I did originally use the Consolidate Original menu item - I can confirm that - but I had done that as a test before I upgraded my hard drive and installed Mavericks.
Additionally, before I tried the Consolidate Original option, I had tried merging the iPhoto library to Aperture via the File->Import->Library and selecting the iPhoto library. I followed the instructions from the Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5296
Because I merged the iPhoto library first, and then Consolidated, this is why I originally had duplicates.
Since the clean install of Mavericks however, I have selected all of my photos in Aperture and selected the Consolidate Original option, and it now appears that everything has changed from referenced to managed. I have also noticed that the Aperture library filesize has gotten much bigger, but the iPhoto library filesize has remained the same size. Wouldn't it have shrunk if I moved the originals to Aperture? I did select Move, not Copy from the Consolidate Original menu.
