Photo Import: cannot select some pictures in a row except I select all pictures

LR 4.4 (Apple): if I try to import photos from my iphone or SD Card --> I can select ALL photos. If I deselect ALL photos and try to select some photos then some photos are selectable, some not (somehow automatically "greyed out"). I tried with marking 1 photo and SHIFT + marking other photo. No success.
Is LR maybe deselecting photos if they are not sharp?
Thanks for help!

I think I have this figured out...  I have a folder '11-24-2011' and another folder labeled '2011-11-24'.  The folder that is not displayed is a subset of the pictures in the other (displayed) folder, so I think these are duplicates.  Not sure how or why this other folder got created, but oh well...
Thanks.

    Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
    No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated. 
    You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right.  Have you finished creating  the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as  PDF in the contextual menu?
    Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems.  If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it.  That's all you need to do.  There's no use of the Finder required.

  • Is it possible to export all information (metadata, list of pictures within each album or project) about ALL pictures in Aperture to text files, in a single operation?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Aperture because I would like to switch from using Picasa and gimp to using Aperture.  I already know that I want to use Aperture, and that I cannot learn how in 30 days.  I want to use the 30 days to see if I can solve a different problem: bulk export of all information except edits and versions from Aperture.
    I want to avoid locking information (other than than the edits and version information that Aperture maintains) about my photos into any one piece of software.
    Picasa stores a copy of almost all its information in text filies (mostly XML or .ini format) that are scattered through its picture library.  These files can be scanned and found by use of Mac OS X tools that are availabe in Terminal (at the bash command line).  All of the information about albums, faces, etc can be exported by a single command (after wtiting the progams that the command will initiate.  I have not yest found any similar files in Aperture.
    Aperture supports the export of EXIF and IPTC metadata, but only for selected photos, and does not appear to support the export of other information at all.
    What I would like to do with a single operation, from either Aperture or Terminal, is to export the entire arrangement of phost ins albums and projects, lists of albums, projects and phots with all metadata (including added keywords) attached to each, and for referenced photos, the external file name.  I do not care if would be in one file or many different text files, because Mac OS X provides all the tools I would need to extract the information I would want from any number of text files.
    This would allow me to reconstruct all of the information about my photos (except for edits and versions) outside Aperture, and to use that info in a database outside Aperture.  I would then be able to use Aperture while still being able to do everything that I could do with Picasa.
    The most helpful form of an answer to this question might be a list of places to look in the Apple support and Apple developer documentation.  It is difficult to teach me anything complicated, but I am fairly good at figuring out things from documentation.

    The following script recursively lists the content of an Aperture library.  The output is simple, for demonstration puposes, but could be modified to XML.  If the XML were that of a PLIST, the Apple Property List viewer oculd be used to diaplsy the output.
    A simlar script produces all of the keywords and tags for all of the images in Aperture.
    The scripts run much faster in the shell than in the AppleScript Editor bcause the shwll produces no debugging or monitoring information.

  • Diff between select single * or upto one row

    Hi,
    what is the difference between select single *   and   select upto one row.
    regards
    krishna

    Hi,
    According to SAP Performance course the SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE because you are not using all the primary key fields.
    select single is a construct designed to read database records with primary key. In the absence of the primary key, it might end up doing a sequential search, whereas the select up to 1 rows may assume that there is no primary key supplied and will try to find most suitable index.
    The best way to find out is through sql trace or runtime analysis.
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
    Mainly:  to read data from
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
    Mainly: to check if entries exist.

    Sounds like you synced the photos instead of importing the photos.
    In iTunes with your device plugged in, go to the photos tab and uncheck the photos that were synced over, then sync again. This should take the photos from your coputer off the devices leaving just the camera roll.
    If you have a Windows computer, go to mycomputer and right click on your device and select import pictures and video. If its a Mac computer, plug in your device and go to iphoto and select import all.

  • 700P/Verizon: Cannot find some contact photo files?

    Hello,
    I have a Treo 700P (on Verizon) that I'm trying to get all of my data off.  
    I noticed that some of my contact photos that were taken with the Treo camera while editing the contact are NOWHERE to be found either on the external memory card that I'm using (SD card) or on the internal memory.
    Does anyone know where these type of image files are stored and if they can be accessed?  I have quite a bit of contacts whom I took a picture of them while I was editing their contact profile that I cannot access (or don't know where to access) the image files.  
    I've looked up and down in the Pics & Videos app and cannot find these pictures.  I finally figured out that the pictures that I cannot find are the ones that I had taken as mentioned above (while editing a contact and selecting the picture from "camera"; it's either "camera", "photos" or "remove" as options).
    While in Palm Desktop, if I open a contact in question, same thing, the image is there within the contact but I cannot do anything (like copy it or anything else), other than select a different photo file or remove the current one.
    I have the "FileZ" app, but I don't really know what I'm looking for (not sure if that app would allow me to find these files in question or not, just thought I'd throw that out there in case it would help).
    PLEASE someone help me if you can!!  I'd definitely appreciate it!  I like quite a few of the pictures that the Treo took while I was making the contact file for family/friends, but I cannot get any access to them!
    Obviously these files are stored somewhere and they must be on my PC as well (I'm running Vista), but, again, I cannot find it in the Pics/Video backup directory that Palm Desktop creates neither (it just has the same pics/videos that are seen on the Treo itself under the Pics/Video app).
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    thanks thetreoguy!
    I do realize that the image quality is no better than a small thumbnail; but, is there still a way to extract it from the database?  I'm not using the pictures for anything other than to use them for profile pictures on another smartphone (so they do not need to be high-rez images, just exactly what they are on the Treo).
    I do use a SD card for image storage, but didn't realize while editing a contact that if you select "camera" from method of adding a picture that the Treo would take the picture but not store it in any usable area. If there is no way to extract at all from the contact database, then I guess I'm just S.O.L. then, huh?
    I do appreciate your response very much as I was thinking it might only be me having the problem! haha
    If you have any idea how I could extract from the contact database, it would be awesome!
    Thanks again!

  • When I save an image on my ipod touch 3rd gen then go to the photos, the library updates/rebuilds, then I cannot view the picture as it just comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG.  It never used to do this, how do I fix it?

    I go to save a picture (bu holding my finger down on the image, then pressing save image, when the option comes up), and then go to the photos to view the picture, its says updating library and takes about a minute to finish loading and rebuilding/updating the library.  After it has finished updating the library I cannot view the picture I saved because it comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG (I assume this is some sort of file, because if i save multiple pictures only one JPG, gery camera image shows up.) My ipod never used to do this.  Any idea on how to fix it?

  • All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the Finder pictures folder? It seems crazy to have them duplicated (all are backed up externally). And are they full size images in iPhoto?

    All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the finder picture folder? It seems crazy to have them dupllcated ( all are backed up anyway). And are they the full sized images stored in iPhoto?

    Assuming you have iPhoto set to the Default setting, then yes, your full sized photos are copied into the iPhoto Library and so you can delete your own stored in the Finder.
    Easiest way to check:  Select a photo in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Is it stored within the iPhoto Library? You can tell easily in the Finder's column view.
    As an FYI:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Cannot move photo from catalogue to all pictures in "home" location

    I have adobe starter edition 3, windows xp. Computer is Dell 2400 (IBM), printer is PIXMA MP530. I have some pictures on fotki that I want to place in the "home" part of ADOBE, where all of my pictures can be seen. I am able to download to desktop. It seems as if I click on the ADOBE picture album folder, the photo would replace the picture album folder. When I download to the desktop, the photo is placed in the catalogue. When I try to place it in the home location, a "cannot place in location: picture already in catalgoue" message. I cannot see the photo unless I type in the file name and search using "find". I would like to be able to see this photo in the home folder. There are too many photos that need to be downloaded (a computer accident destroyed some photos, but I can download the original photo from fotki).
    How can I place the photos in the "home" loaction?

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

  • Some iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream are black

    I'm seeing a whole bunch of iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream as black images in latest iPhoto '11.  When I look at the original file in finder, it is intact, however the modified one is just a black image (which is what shows up in iPhoto).
    This is very concerning.  I'm now manually re-importing all my 4S photos.
    Strangely, the same photos that appear black in iPhoto Photo Stream are fine on my iPad and iPhone Photo Stream view.
    So it seems that iPhoto is breaking them when it imports them.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • After import from Iphoto some pictures are of very low quality. The original file in Iphoto is very good.

    Final cut Express
    I imported several pictures by using Iphoto. Some of them, not all, are of very low quality even if the original file is of a very good quality.

    It sounds as though you may have imported the thumbnails but I can't imagine how.
    It all depends on what you mean by very low quality.
    Your iPhoto  pictures will be around 4,000x3,000 pixels but when they are imported into a standard def timeline they will be around 720x540 which is a tremendous reduction.
    They should still look OK but not  as good as the brilliant hi-res originals.
