No storage location set loop

Hi!
I am trying to import videos from a Sony camera with a hard drive (AVCHD format) to the new version of iMovie and continually get this loop. The only way out is to force quit, shut down the computer and start again. I still get the same error.
In desperation I down loaded a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and got the same error loop. Luckily I did not spend the $375 for the program.
Has anyone overcome this problem or is there a way to cheat to get around it.
Thanks.

I think these are the steps I took:
1 Shut down the computer completey and then startup again (Camcorder disconnected)
2 Connect camcorder and in iMovie follow the procedure to import from camera. This triggers the launching of iPhoto - but as iPhoto started to launch I had the mouse pointer on the iPhoto icon at the bottom of the screen and right clicked the mouse with the option button held and selected 'Force Quit'
It worked for me and I hope it works for you! Later when I went to import again, both iPhoto and iMovie behaved as expected.
The whole thing is a mystery to me and the original message is no help at all and gives no guidance as to how to solve this (common?) problem.
Hopefully this 'bug' can be fixed by Apple engineers -fingers crossed.

'No Storage Location Set' - warning on a loop!

Moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I get this message when trying to import video: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

I recently moved my iMovie Library and all of its contents to an external hard drive. I then erased the library and all of its contents from my iMac HD and created a new library. Now when I try to import video from my DV camera I get this message: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again. There is no way to set a storage location in Preferences. I have chosen an Event in the middle drop down box. But it still will not import. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring. iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences. They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection. It also throws in extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things. If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line: Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder. In the end it is just a simple action.

IMovie cannot share and no storage location set

I am using iMovie 10.0.6 on a Retina iMac running Yosemite.
iMovie suddenly developed the following maddening behavior, which I have yet to resolve despite trying many of the usual tricks:
Attempting to import to an event using my isight camera or my Canon HV20 camera in a library on my internal SSD results in the following popup message: "No storage location set: Cannot start ingest because there is not storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again."
It is possible to import by loading a file to my local library. However creating a project with that file results in the strange behavior that the clips from that file remain blue and don't fill in with the preview.
I cannot share or export any project. Clicking "Share" in file or the "Share" button displays the options, by when I click on the share option, nothing happens.
Importing to library in an external hard drive succeeds without the error message. The clips in the projects created in the external libarary do fill in with the preview pictures. However, I am not able to share or export a project in the external library either.
When I log into my son's account on the same machine, iMovie works fine. I am able to import to his accounts library and I'm able to share, the share button works as normal.
I have tried the following remedies, none have worked:
1)delete the iMovie app and reinstall.
2)delete every iMovie preference in ~/Library/preferences
3)delete iMovie caches
4)delete iMovie receipts
5)repair permissions using disk utility
6)reset user permissions and ACLs using "reset user password" in terminal
7)reinstall Yosemite from recovery (preserving user files)
8) reset pram and SMC
There must be some very hidden persistent setting corrupted that is either verry hidden or not explicitly part of iMovie; perhaps a common sharing or video import application? Does anyone have any ideas?

Brilliant - it worked for me, although I had to look around inside the
/var/folders/
and found it under another with two letter
Thank you ultrahertz

Import problems. "NO STORAGE LOCATION SET"

Hi, I'm having issues importing footage into FCPX. I keep getting the error message "NO STORAGE LOCATION SET"
I have tried everything including re-installing the program and deleting relevant files from final cut library preferences.
The footage is save onto my drive. I've tried different footage on different drives.
Any one else had this problem?
I'm really stuck here.

Purchase Order - Issue storage location set mandatory entry

Hello All,
When create subcontracting PO, want to set the field of Issue storage location as mandatory.
I tried to find configuration "Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order-->Define Screen Layout at Document Level", but there is not entry "Issue storage location" to set the screen layout field.
I searched previous threads, but only find some to mention issue storage location for STO. Now, I just use subcontracting PO that is same as NB document type.
Please your kind suggestion or any method to set Issue storage location as mandatory in PO.
Thanks very much!

Default storage location setting

Hi,
how can i set the default storage location.
I need to reflect it autometically while booking any order.
Regards,
Rajdeep

Hi Rajdeep,
there are quite different ways to achieve this,
- If you are open for enhancement, then write the piece of coding to default the storage location in Includ:MV45AFZB under
USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION which could be applicable for all doc types or set of doc types/ item cat's
OR
- You can achieve the same requirement with Transaction variant in Tx:SHD0 while recording enter this field manually & at the time of save , save it as "with content" & assign this variant in order doc type details in VOV8.
then whenver you create sales order using this doc type, storage location will be defaulted. ( assumption is - you have single storage location which has to be defaulted in order)
Hope it helps,

'No storage location Set' Bug in FCPX 10.1!!! Only allowing 3 Clips to importat a time!!!

Hi, I am an independent filmmaker shot around 42 days of material in Canon C500, 5D Mark3 and 60D. I am using OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 and FCP 10.1, Irecently bought a new Imac to edit the project on my ease. The Configuration is as below-
I was happily importing the footage in FCPX 10.1 and everything was smooth so far. But few days back when I tried to complete my remaining footage ingest it suddenly started showing me this message -
I tried the preference menu and couldn't find anything over there which I did mistake probably....or atleast I can't remember
Even after repeatative happening of this problem I tried importing it in a separate library and separate event but the problem still remains.... If I give more than 3 files to import it shows the error message and after that I have to hit OK to get out of it ....other than those three files... For Example if I give five files then I have to HIT it twice to remove the dialougue box!!!!
After the dialougue box goes it shows all the five clips....but the footage that was not importing shows a CAMERA Icon!!!!
I have to manually delete those files before re-importing. Cause re-import doesn't work. And since it is really not importing later on as expected it shows a missing camera icon in the event browser and the viewer
I converted and trasferred before and never had any such problems.... now after 3 clips the transfer doesn't work. I have to wait until the three files get transcoded before I can continue further ingesting. Accidentally If I import those clips I may even edit with this without knowing that it is showing a camera icon like this ----
The footage with the Camera Icon didn't IMPORTED and to import I have to manually delete those first and re-import again. I really don't know any solution of this... I tried already few trouble shootings
1. Tried different Hard Drive to test if it was a HDD issue,
2. I have uninstalled and re-installed FCP 10.1,
3. I removed the preference file few times going through holding Optionbutton> Finder>Go>Library>Preferences and deleting those FCP peferences and had a fresh start !!!
4. Tried my Macbook Pro which have Maverics 10.9.1 and FCPX10.1 installed to see if it was a problem with my IMAC?
But Still Bad luck
Any suggestions please? I am not sure what I am doing wrong
Thanks for your time

Had the same issue, Took me a day but managed to get it fixed (till it will crop up again).
I re installed FCPx according to the APPLE instructions . I think it is important to empty the CACHE as that is where the problem may be stored.....
These are the instructions from APPLE :
In Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Final Cut Pro application and drag it to the Trash.
In Finder, hold down the Option key and choose Library from the Go menu.
In the Library folder that opens, open the Application Support folder. Move the Final Cut Pro folder to the Trash.
Return to the Library folder and open the Caches folder. Move the "com.apple.FinalCut" folder to the Trash.
Return to the Library folder and open the Preferences folder. Move the following files to the Trash:
com.apple.FinalCut.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.FinalCut.plist
com.apple.FinalCut.UserDestinations.plist

How to set storage location in iMovie 10?

iMovie refuses to import my video files and instead gives the following error message: "No storage location set: Cannot start ingest because there is not storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again." However, when I select iMovie Preferences, there are only two possible commands (Clip: Apply slow-motion automatically) and (Theater: Automatically upload content to iCloud [grayed out]) neither of which appear particularly helpful in this context. In any case, when I import single clips these are "automatically" stored in updated projects, so why will this not work more generally? Many thanks

I've been able to store the contents of my camcorder on the Mac's HD. I've tried importing the clips from there and get the same result, whether I try to import one or several clips at once, it replies with the same error message as to the missing storage location/instructions. Interestingly, it will nonetheless import the first (or only) one of the clips that I highlight on the import screen.
When you suggest dragging the files, from where do you mean? The clips per se don't appear in the finder, but only on the import page. The finder show only various fragmented files that aren't complete clips (eg. separate video and index, even sound files), which is too much of a pain to deal with...
It's true that my original iMovie library was created from an upgrade, but I have since deleted the contents and attempted to reload the clips. Are you suggesting deleting the library completely and starting again, or should I just try creating another event and using that? Don't see why that shoudl work better than "updated projects", but perhaps it's worth a try...
Thanks again

Storage location not set

When trying to import movies from my Panasonic camera into iMovie I get the message "No storage location set". What to do?

Jeremy CS wrote:
When I try to import an iMovie Project on my desktop, Final Cut Pro X crashes.
Jermey CS,
Did you actually move iMovie Project to desktop? While you are in Final Cut Pro X, and if you try to import iMovie Project, it kinda of knows where to find original files made by iMovie.
Only a big if you leave the original iMovie Project and iMovie Events as it is inside Movie Folder on your computer. IF that is the case, then Final Cut Pro X knows where to find iMovie files when you wish to import iMovie Project.
I am not sure why you move around and move files all over the place. I am afraid that you are asking for more trouble or problems unless if you understand what to expect and what's not.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
SPRO ->Material Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase Order ->set up stock transport order ->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations 
Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point
Step5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage Location

Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP
Execute GET_SUPPLYING_SL
There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,

Dear,
Have You configure MRP in second plant (where you want to transport the Material).
Please try with this and do again Po for stock transport.

Allow negative stock on storage location

Dear all,
When we allow negative stock on a storage location. At posting time we have an error "deficit stock of batch assignment". Anybody got a clue of what has to be done to correct this ???
Cheers,
Olivier

Dear Oliver,
Please do the following checks.
Prerequisites
To work with negative stocks, you have to:
· explicitly allow this in the Customizing system for each valuation area and storage location
· set the indicator Neg. stocks in plant in the material master record of the individual materials (storage data)
Negative stocks are allowed for special stocks if you have activated negative stocks in the valuation area and for the special stock concerned in the plant. You do not need to activate negative stocks in each material master record.
Procedure
You can define whether you want to allow negative stock by making the relevant settings for each storage type in Customizing.
To do this, choose Logistics Execution -- Warehouse Management--- Interfaces -- Inventory Management -
Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types --- Allow negative stock for each storage type in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
When the allow negative stock indicator is set, the system lets you post negative quants to the corresponding storage type.
Additionally, you can define whether you want the system to issue an error message (E) or a warning message (W) or no message (blank) when posting negative stock. You can make the relevant setting in the activity Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management. You can determine the notification type using the parameter MSV in the user master record.
To do this, choose System --- User profile --- Own data.
Then select the tab page Parameters.
Enter MSV in the Parameters field and enter the value with which you want to group certain users in the value field (for example 01).
Choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types ® Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
Create a new entry with the version number (Value) you have chosen and enter the desired system reaction in the Message Category field (E, W, or blank).

Incorrect Storage Location Detemined in Production Order

Hi There,
When convert planned order to Production order, storage location is determined for component material.
Till 4.7 system, we see that the system was following below sequence for determination storage location:
1)     Storage location set into BOM item
2)     Storage location determined by WC.
3)     Storage location set into material master.
However, in the upgraded ERP 6.0 system we see that the above sequence is not followed any more.
1)     Storage location determined by WC.
2)     Storage location set into material master.
3)             Storage location set into BOM item
Is our understanding correct? How can be bring back the old sequence?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Kind Regards,
Prakash

Hi Anish,
The issue is that in earlier system it was '2' as well, still the storage location was taken from BOM.
But, in ERP 6.0 it is not taken from BOM.
We do not want to change the master data for this purpose, but need a reason why SAP has changed this behaviour?
Regards,
Prakash
