Photos imported but not written to disk

Strange Problem - normally I import from my CF card, copy as DNG as write out to an external USB drive.
Lightroom normally creates a folder on the USB drive and the DNG files are there.
For some reason the photos are in the catalog, BUT..... not found as a folder on my disk.
Running OSX Yosemite, LR5 - all up to date - what is happening???

Being a dot filename it is hidden right?
onder if I can just renakme that in OSX somehow
Yes this folder is hidden by default. But I thing you can get to it by going to the "Go" menu item then select Go To Folder and type in that name alone with the path. So it would look something like this ExternalDriveName/.fseventsd. But I just tried that on the Macintosh HD partition and all it shows in that folder, greyed out, with a - (Minus) sign with it, lower right hand corner of the Folder icon.
If you still have those images on your memory card I suggest you Copy those images to your external drive in a folder of your choosing/liking and then in LR try importing them again from the folder you placed them in.

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr. If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop. Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn. Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine. Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone? If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Smart Collection for images with changed metadata not written to disk?

The thumbnails in the grid view have a little icon in the upper right corner when the metadata for the file has been changed but not written to the XMP (or whatever) files.
Is it possible to create a LR2 Smart Collection, or maybe a filter, that will find all such images?

Dave, good to know that Ctrl-S on everything will write it all out.
John, I *hate* being blind about what is going on. So I can Ctrl-S on everything and get it all written out. But I can't tell how many images I have changed, or perhaps also sort them by type so I can see what kinds of files will have to be rewritten. I can't even tell if I've remembered to do a Ctrl-S and whether there are images with data only in the catalog and not in the XMP etc. files.
I'm one of those who are more comfortable if everything that can be recorded in XMP is recorded there. But I don't want to leave auto-write to XMP on while re-organizing everything.

ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's. However since about a week, music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone. On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet. When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone, but with a sych mark. ( the little circle). So i can add and remove photo's, but not music or video items. Has anyone an idea what to do?
By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

Importing errors - photos moved but not cataloged

Hello all,
I'm having an issue with LR3 (Mac OSX 10.6.4) when importing photos from HDD into the catalog. Some of the photos imported (seemingly random) will error out with a code (8) "some files could not be moved".. or something to that effect. I used finder to validate that there are no other instances of that filename that could have been imported into the LR3 catalog.
When I open the dated folder (default LR3 save location) outside of lightroom, I see that the images were copied, however they do not appear in the catalog. If I attempt to re-import these photos from their new location (the location LR moved them to), this seems to work.
This happens about 40% of the time on import. It seems that tagging on import may be related, however I am tagging all photos in an import batch and only some are not making it into the database.
Is anyone else having a similar issue?
Thanks
Tony

Tony, I too am having this problem. Importing and moving will move the files but then fails, a sync on the new folder will finish the load process.
Until LR3 I've only "played" with Lightroom but now I'm organizing years of image in various formats. As a result I've noticed the problem is specifically related to my RAW files. If I'm not importing raw files I can import/move 10 to 20 directories no problem. But if a RAW file is involved the only way to reduce the problem is to import one directory at a time. Note I said reduce, because the error still happens on occasion. If more than one directory is being moved the problem happens 100% of the time.
Hope this helps
Charles

D750 raw files are noisy on import - but not in DXO - or NX or even OnOne. So I'm having to import into NX then export at tiff files. Cost me sizable disk space and time.

poor imports on D750 raw files.. at iso 800 and above can't even use them.. however if I import into NX then export as tiff it works fine.
Kelly

If you feel the D610 was doing ok in the same situation where the D750 was not, then upload and post both a D750 and a D610 NEF—taken under comparable conditions if possible.
Nikon software NX will export things with whatever NR the camera was set to. DxO probably tries to optimnize both Sharpening and Noise-reduction, whereas Lightroom will process things in whatever way the Adobe defaults are set to, regardless of what the camera settings for NR were.
Is it possible you have different default Sharpen settings, or at least the Sharpen Mask increased, for the D610 but not for the D750? The Mask slider will prevent relatively smooth areas with only noise as the detail from being sharpened.

Photos import but video will not

I was able to import video and photo prior to loading leopard. iphoto recognizes my photo import automatically but for some reason it doesn't auto load my video into imovie when I connect to the PC. Is there something you have to do in leopard to make it work..a patch? I have a JVC everio but it shouldn't matter since it was working prior to Leopard. Any assistance is appreciated.

If the ipad doesn't see the video then it may be in a format the ipad doesn't like. Your choice may be to import it to your computer, then drag it into iTunes, which will convert it to a format the iPad likes, then sync it that way.
If iTunes still won't convert it right, mpegstreamclip, Format Factory (pc ony) and Handbrake will all convert video to mp4 or m4v that the ipad likes

Photos are appearing in Last Import but not in Last 12 months

When I import photos from my camera into iPhoto they appear under "Events" and "Last Import" but no under Last 12 months. Is there a way to correct this?
David

What are the dates of the photos? Last "n" months is a list of photos taken in the last "n" months irrespective of when they were mported. Typically your question is due to incorrect camera dates
