Photos imported into wrong folder

When running an import and setting destination to import into subfolder organised by date (2011/2011-04-29) the ophotos taken late in the day do not go into the correct folder, they import into the next days folder. It appears the calculation used for the import does not take into acct regional settings.
Using lightroom 3.4 (also seen with 3.2 and 3.3)
Any ideas other than manually sorting all photos?
I notice that the Canon import software correctly sorts the photos, just have to use that then synchronise in lightroom, not good but at least till adobe fix the bug it will have to do.

Can you find out exactly how many hours difference there is ?
Do you have some AM/PM problem?
Are you shure your computer is in the right time-zone?
Daylight savings corrected ?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Photo drags to wrong folder

why does photo drag to wrong folder?

You question makes no sense - iPhoto does not "drag" photos anywhere - it works on a SQL database and controls the photo locations correctly - you never access them direcly but always use the provided tools to access the photos - click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.

Solution to photo imports into IDVD

Much discussion months ago about the poor quality of photos imported into iMovie then exported to DVD. Software "Photo to Movie" by LQ Graphics that does a beautiful job of setting up your photos then render them to full quality QT. From there, import them to iDVD

The secret is space. iTunes seems to almost need the space of the photos BEFORE compression. Not only have I sometimes been unable to sync photos, but sometimes I can't sync all my photos.
Do this: hook up your iPhone, and go into Movies, if you have some, and delete 2 or 3 large movies. Don't worry, we'll put them back.
If you don't have movies, go into Apps, sort by Size, and delete several large apps until you have 2-3 GIGS of space. 2 Gigs will work for under 1000 photos, delete 3 Gigs if you have more.
Sync.
Now turn on the photos you want, sync again. (these may already have returned on the last sync)
Now go turn on your movies and apps, sync once more.
iTunes syncs the photos LAST, so I have had some albums disappear when my iphone was full, and I added a large movie or app.
It's all about space.

Importing into public folder on Exchange 2013

Outlook 2013 Pro
Exchange 2013 SP1
I created the public folders and granted publisher rights to the outlook client. I exported a list of contacts to contact.pst from another account. In the exchange account, I import, point to the contact.pst and say place in same folder (public). Nothing
is imported.
If I expand contact.pst tree and select the contact folder (e.g. vendors), I get error ... Item cannot be created in the root of public folders.
How do I import into public folder?

Outlook 2013 Pro
Outlook doesn't support importing into a public folder.
You would either need to open the PST file in Outlook and then copy/move the contact items in the PST file to the applicable public folder.
Alternatively, if this is something that you're going to do on an on-going basis - any of the ContactGenie Import/Export programs may be of interest

Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

i do import photos from desktop to folder that i want in the aperture libary . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder. i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
i drag and move pictures to brand new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
someone help me? did i make myself clear?

You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

Photo imported into ID is not as black as surrounging black

Hello all.
Using CS5. In creating a document in ID, an image that has been done in Photoshop with strong black backgrounds is imported into ID using File > Place. In ID, there are two black panels on each side of the photo. On screen it looks fine (blacks match) but on printing, the black in the photo is not as black (more grayish) than the two side panels. Is there anything that could be done to enhance the black in the photo?
Thanks.

I don't believe I've ever seen a photo with a black background that wasn't added in Photoshop that had the same flat color throughout, so the odds of getting a perfect match all the way along all edges is practically nil.
You might want to consider removing the background in Photoshop and placing the photo in a frame with the black fill, or go with the flow a bit and use a colro that decidedly does not match so it doesn't look like you tried and failed. I'll often use a white (or some other contrasting color) line around the edge to break the two apart, too.
It's also very important that you set the prefernence for Appearance of Black to Display All Blacks Accurately or you have no idea what the really look like.

Imported files into wrong folder, easy way to move them to another?

Two things happened to me this weekend using Lr that caused files to go into the wrong folders.
On one import I forgot to change the folder to a new one and it dropped all of my pics from the CF card into an existing folder. Oops.
On another import I actually had images from what I would consider two seperate events. One was me goofing around taking pictures of the moon and the others were from St. Pattys day at the pub. So I've got moon pics in my St. Pattys 07 folder.
So is there an easy way to correct this without deleting and reimporting? I tried the obvious drag and drops of selected files in the grid but it seemed adamant that this was a no-no.
Sam

Try from the center of an image and you should get a wornng dialogue about moving on the hard drive when you drop them on the folder you want. Hey do have to be all from the same folder for a given move.
Try selecting some and doing the arrow trick by the filename in Metadata to go to the folder and then move all you want from one folder to another.
Rather than in All Photos, as I previously mis-stated.

CD imported to wrong folder organization Album/Artist instead of Artist/Alb

I imported (ripped) a CD and the folder convention iTunes created in my music library was like this:
AlbumName/ArtistName
instead of
ArtistName/AlbumName
How could this happen. I have ripped hundreds of CD's and this is the first time it has happened. I am letting iTuned organize my files.
Any clues?
Thanks!

Actually I know exactlty what bae77345 is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.

LR5 Importing to wrong folder

I have been importing to folders on drive I. It is now full. I am trying to import to drive H which has plenty of room. Every time I try to import to H LR tells me that drive I is full, which of course I already bloody well know. So I am unable to import at this point because LR only wants to go to my full folder. Help please. I do have full permissions on the I drive

The message in the screenshot says your catalog drive is out of space, not your import-photos-to-drive is out of space. How big is your catalog?
I’ve had LR complain about my catalog drive being out of space during a backup operation when the problem was my boot drive which contains my Users folder that LR temporarily puts a copy of my catalog when it is checking for integrity. Even though this drive is never referred to in the error message. I was unable to make backups until I cleared about 2.5 times the size of my catalog’s space from my boot drive, even though my catalog and backups are on my P drive and C was never referred to in any error message.
The one strange thing in the message is that it says you need at least 20MB free, which you have 7GB free.
The “forever bug” referred to is where the number of bits being used to represent free space can be too small and so only the remainder after dividing by 2GB is what is seen. For 7.2 GB this remainder would be 1.2GB. If this bug is in effect and LR thinks you only have 1.2GB free on whatever drive it is checking so maybe your catalog is large enough that catalog-size times whatever multiplier of your catalog size LR thinks it needs in reserve is larger than 1.2GB.

Photos imported to wrong location in LR 2.3

I am trying to import/add to catalog a folder(Commencement 052309) to my Photos folder on new external drive (H). I select a subfolder(Jake graduation) in the Photos folder as import location, but the folder of images is imported to the root level of LR instead. I check the destination drive in Explorer, and there has indeed been a folder of images added to the correct subfolder in the Photos folder (but not the root level of LR). See screenshots for reference - it's as if LR cannot see them in that location. I try using Update Folder Location, but am told folder already exists in the desired destination.
Before this problem occurred I successfully copied folders/updated LR folder location to the new drive from 2 other drives. In the process I removed a third external drive as well (and a folder titled "Lightroom" was probably on it). I checked and there is a similar Lightroom folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures. This folder contains the .lrcat, .lrdata, etc. files. Could LR be confused about the newest drive? This is where I store all my photos.
Thanks

You're using Windows, so, in Lr right click on the folder named "Commencement 052309". A context menu like that shown in the screen shot should appear. Try clicking on the menu option "Promote subfolders" or that doesn't work try "Update folder location". Choosing the later option means that you have to locate the proper location, but since Lr uses Explorer/Finder dialogs this should be fairly easy.

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

Cropped photos -import into iMovie, but reverts to original

Anyone have this problem? Cropped photos in iPhoto and iView look fine in their own habitat, but when I import them into iMovie, they revert back to their original uncropped photo - frustrating since these are photos eliminating the letterbox, so there are black lines on two sides, so the cropping within iMovie does not work.
Thank you for any information!

Hi S. Katie - your problem with iPhoto is most likely because when you crop them in the iPhoto window you are not affecting the ORIGINAL photo, and it must be that original photo that iMovie recognises and imports.
So long as they are of good quality, you should be able to use the Ken Burns zoom function to 'crop' them even after they are already in your project.
To batch alter the duration of your stills, firstly select them, then make the adjustment in the Photos Pane and click 'Update'. Note, though, that transitions must be re-rendered (a note to that effect will appear on the screen).

Incredibly slow photo import into iMovie 11

Can anyone tell me how to speed up the uploading of photos for a time lapse movie into iMovie 11? I am trying to upload 3232 8 meg pics, and so far it has been 14 hours. At the current upload rate, it looks like it will take about 18 hours total. This seems to me to be ridiculously long, but I can't seem to find a way to upload them any faster. As a recent convert to Mac, I am mostly impressed with my new iMac, but on this point it is like a drunken dinosaur. Any help appreciated, including any tips on any free program other than iMovie that I might use to speed up the process.
Dean

Matt- thanks for the response. To be honest, I was recording in whatever the default mode was. I did not realize there was a 60i vs a 60p. I will look into that.
As far as imports go- I have the camera hooked up to the usb port of my iMac and have iMovie running. I selected import from the camera and it brings up the window I described in my post. I also tried to just import movies- but got the same response.

Downloads going into wrong folder

I have it set up so that when downloading any apps etc from the iTunes store that they go into a specific folder, but they are being downloaded into the default C: Users/my name/My Music/iTunes/mobile applications every time.
Obviously I can copy them over if I want to but want to know why they are being installed there instead of the folder I want to which is specified under preferences.
Anyway of resolving this?

Use the menus File > LIbrary > Organize Library... > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" then File > LIbrary > Organize Library... > Consolidate files...
You can then delete the now redundant Mobile Applications folder on C: and iPod Games, Ringtones or Tones if they exist.
The first command will restucture your library so that all music moves from
<Media Folder>\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> to
<Media Folder>\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>
which is the default layout for new libraries.
