No images shown when importing images from external HD

This only happened recently so I'm not sure if this was due to an update in Aperture or MacOS.
Anyways, when I try to import images from an external HD, I cannot see the images. The images are there when I check thru Finder but I cannot see any from the import window in Aperture.
The problem is also inconsistent. There are folders where I can see images but for most I cannot see anything.
For local disk it works.
Why does this happen and how can I solve this? thanks

Are you sure they aren't in your library already? Have you tried de-selecting "don't import duplicates" and see if that changes anything?

LR won't show images from external hard drive now.

I have LR 5. I updated in March from LR3. I just purchased a second external hard drive to start using for my images after filling up my first. I just tried to go back to external hard drive #1 to look at images from last month, and I can't pull them in to lightroom for some reason. When using external hard drive #1 after updating to lr5, I always had to go to Edit >Open Recent to open a previous catalog to access my images. I think this has something to do with it, because there aren't any other catalog options in LR5 when I switch from external hard drive #2 back to external hard drive #1. I need those images pronto to finish projects!!! Please help and thank you!

This is relevant portion of the support document with a bit of editing for clarity.
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
Using a Mac click the icon to open iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the Option key.
You should see the following screen:
If iTunes opens normally, close it and try again.
Once you've got that dialog you have two options. If your previous iTunes library database is stored on the external drive use Choose Library to browse to it and open it. If you only have the media folder on the drive then use the Create Library option to create a new iTunes library at /iTunes on the external, move the media folder to /iTunes/iTunes Media and then add it to your new empty library.

When importing tracks from a CD to iTunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported or shown on the list. How can I import the missing three?

When importing tracks from a CD to ITunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported. How can I display and import the missing three? Thanks.

It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
Anyone?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

Importing Users from external table in obiee 11g

Hi Every one,
Do any one help me giving suggestions that how we can import users from external table.
I am using obiee 11.1.1.6.
In that external table Which i am using there are 56K users.
They are able to login to obiee analytics.
But for setting object level security I need to make diffrent groups with these users to assign the dashbords and required objects in front end.
But how can we get all these users into BI server or presentation server to make them into groups.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

How do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?

I have saved many photos to an external hard drive for security. I would like to store at least some of them in iCloud so I have direct access from Photos. Is this possible please?

how do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?
Just like you'd do it with iPhoto. Drag the photos or folder of photos into the open Photos Library window or onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
If you have the iCloud Photo Library activated in Photos the new photos will be copied to the online iCloud Photo Library along with the rest of the photos in your library. Remember, with the iCloud Photo Liberty it's all the photos or none. You may have to purchase additional iCloud space to store all of your photos.

When importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed?

when importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed? I am using PC with windows 7.
Thanks.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Image Capture sends error message when importing photos from my camera

I tried to import photos from my Fuji FinePix JX600 using Iphoto. Received an error notice and was unable to import. Tried Image Capture and it imported 220 of 407 pictures and then sent an error notice. Very frustrated. It's a new camera and I never had any problem with my old camera. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Good afternoon
There seem to be a number of possibilities.
Here is a thread that conatins a number of solutions. The most common one is to load 50 pics at a time.

Moving images from external HD to internal - lost metadata (mac)

got myself in a bit of a pickle here...
got a new imac - and upgraded from LR2 to LR4
all images are stored on an external hard drive - i *want* all of my pictures on the internal HD
so i copied the pictures folder to the internal HD - opened LR4, updated the catalog file (moved it from the extHD - pointed it to the new location on the internalHD)
apparently the lrcat file didn't get informed though - i had blank spaces in grid-view where there used to be pictures
so.. jiggered around with it until it found all the pictures (they appeared in grid view) - except, now there were alternating picture/blank-spaces
i discovered a way to "find" all the missing pictures - then "removed" them
unfortunately, when we checked our work, we found that the meta-data didn't come with the pictures that remained - so, no stars, tags, flags, etc.......
good thing is.. i still have the original files and LRCAT file on the extHD
can somebody help me right this ship??
(i think i want to just uninstall LR4 and start all over)

Obviously you can just use the Finder to copy the external iPhoto Library to your new Mac Pro. You should change the name of it first so you don't get the two mixed up or accidentally replace one with the other.
If you want the old and new photos in a single library you have a couple of choices. The free choice would be to import the "several images" from the MacPro's current library into the external library.
An easy way to merge two libraries is to use iPhoto Library Manager. It's available here: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
It has some functions in the free download version but more advanced functions require the US$19.95 shareware fee.

Imaging from external DVD player or an external usb hard drive

Hey,
At the High School i work at we are running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zenworks
4.01 ir6. We have Zen Partitions installed on most computers to store a
local image in case the the computer needs to be re-imaged.
However, we have a dilemma. Every now and then a hard drive will go in a
computer.
When we replace the hard drive with a new one, we install the Zen
Partition, do the config and then our last step is to bring down an image.
Unfortunately our only means of dropping down an image is from the network
either through normal imaging or through multicast sessions.
When we drop an image down from the network which takes up network
bandwidth, it causes slow downs on the users computers and they start
complaining. Our network is running at 100mb.
Is there any way possible to image from an external DVD player or an
external usb hard drive when dropping down an image to a new hard drive in
the computer? Currently I have all my Zen Images on the external USB
Maxtor 160gb hard drive and I also have Zen Images burnt to DVD's.
If so, how do I go about doing this and is there documents on doing this?
Thanks!!!

Read images from external jar file (Sun's Java L&F Graphics repository)

Hi!
I don't know how to read images from an external jar file. Sun has a Java Look and Feel graphics repository that contains a lot of good images that can be used on buttons and so on. This repository is delivered as a jar file, containing only images, and I want to read the image files from that jar file directly without including them inside my application jar file. The application and image jar files will be in the same directory.
I have absolutely no clue how to solve this. Is it necessary to include the images inside my application jar file or is it possible to have them separate as I want.
Would really appreciate some help!
Best regards
Lars

Hi,
There is two ways :
1) Add your jarfile to the classpath.
Use the class loader :
URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("your/package/image.gif");
Image im = (new ImageIcon(url)).getImage();
or
Image im = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);2)If you don't want to add the jar to the classpath you can use this (under jdk 1.4):
import java.util.*;
import java.util.jar.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
public class ImageUtilities {
     public static Image getImage(String jarFileName, String fileName) {
          BufferedImage image = null;
          try {
               JarFile jar = new JarFile(new File(jarFileName), false, JarFile.OPEN_READ);
               JarEntry entry = jar.getJarEntry(fileName);
               BufferedInputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(jar.getInputStream(entry));
               image = ImageIO.read(stream) ;
          catch (Exception ex) {
               System.out.println(ex);
          return(image);
}I hope this helps,
Denis
