Photoshop 9 Won't Import From Old TWAIN Plug-in

Anybody know if this is a Snow Leaopard issue or an Adobe issue?
I recently upgraded from Adobe Photoshop Elements 4, to 9. Version 9 no longer imports from my scanner. I looked in the Adobe 4 Plug-ins folder and found a TWAIN.plugin in the Importing folder. I tried copying this to the Version 9 Plugins folder but upon launching 9 it tells me the plugin is incompatible.
What does 9 use now? Does it look to the Apple TWAIN in Snow Leopard? If so, is there a way to install the TWAIN package from the version 4 package into the Snow Leopard TWAIN?

Weird. Basically they moved the location of the Import Plug-in folder. Not sure why they made it an optional plug-in either. Once I did that, it worked perfectly as it had before. Very strange. Wish I understood the reason for that.
The reason is found at the Adobe forum, not the Apple one:

Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

I had the same problem. It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up. The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
Select the Apps tab.
Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
Click Yes, install this version.
Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again. I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated. The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore. I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application. Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
Hope this helps.

How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
Copy from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Copy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.

IMovie HD won't import from Sony HDR-HC1

iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111) on my G5 desktop controls, but won't import from, my new little Sony HDR-HC1 1080i DV camcorder. Same was the case with my 12" 1 GHz PowerBook until, at the advice of a Manhattan Beach Genius Bar tech, I did an archive reinstall of 10.4 and a reinstall of iMovie HD on both my G5 PowerMac and G4 PowerBook and then downloaded all the updates. Now my PowerBook works, but my PowerMac still won't import. On an empty second HD in my PowerMac I installed OS 10.4 and iMovie HD ONLY (to create as sterile as possible of an environment), made the 2nd HD my startup drive, and still iMovie HD on my PowerMac will not import from this camera (although it will from an older Sony VX-1000 regular def camcorder).
Does anybody have any solutions, or any idea why iMovie HD now imports on my PowerBook but after the same makeover still won't on my PowerMac?
Per earlier posts, I tried playing some piano notes in Garage Band, trashing the iMovie preference files, and reinstalling QuickTime (the tech had heard QT 7.0.3 could be at fault from becoming corrupted in certain updating combinations), all to no avail.
HELP!
PowerMac G5 2 x 2.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have had import/capture problems using FW drives with FCE/iMovie5 and my 2gig iMac. My canon GL2 works fine but only when no other FW devices are connected to the FW port I use the computers internal drive to capture. If your using the G5's internal SATA drives this (below) may not apply.

Data import from old system to new system, key by raw16 column

hi, experts,
now, I have a new system, the system design is to use raw(16) column as key column in all database tables.
of course, when new system goes live (in production), all new transaction records are written to new system database.
when the new system inserts new records, it handles itself to avoid conflicts by value of the raw(16) key column
I now face this issue:
I need to import data from old system to new system, I use sys_guid() to fill up the raw(16) column in new system database.
how can I avoid the conflict from value of raw(16) column between old system data and new system database data?
the sql I write is very simple:
insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, ..., ... )
select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
from old_sys_table_a;

LR 1.3 won't import from CF, SD cards in Leopard

With Leopard (OSX 10.5.1 - iMac 24), LR is unable to import all the files from our cameras (both CF and SD cards). It will get 6-10 images but that's about it. If we delete the images that imported and start again, we will get another 6-10. Using a card reader might be a little better but still not more than 10-12 images. If we copy the cards to a USB photo bank and then import from that, it works OK; we get all the images. Aperture (1.5.6) is able to import with no problem.

I'm having the same problem with my Nikon .nef images, except LR 1.3/Leopard can't import from my card reader either. Doesn't matter if it's a dozen images or 150, it will import the first five and then tell me it can't read the rest, although the error message says it can't read "the following files" and then gives the number of files that can't be read: 0. Zero. I can see the images in the preview pane, but it won't import them.
At first, I could delete all the five imported photos from the disk, eject the card, reinsert it and it would perform a full import. But for the last few days, it won't perform a full import at all. I have to copy the photos to my desktop and import from there -- hardly an efficient use of time or drive space. Works fine in other apps, and worked fine in Tiger, etc. etc.
Any thoughts as to why this might be?? Any fix???
Thanks....

How to import from old address book?

Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
On your new iMac, running Lion:
1)open Finder
2)select "Go" on the menu
3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records.
I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
Cheers

IMovie won't import from iPhoto (this is different than all the other post)

Before you think, "Oh... this is the typical 'iMovie 7 isn't importing iPhoto movies' question" this isn't. I've looked through a ton of threads and questions trying to find something similar to this.
Q: I have all my digital camera (Canon SD500 camera (not camcorder), no known compatibility issues with Apple) movies, which are in .AVI format, in iPhoto. iMovie is being weird as in it will only import SOME of my camera movies. For some events, it imports ALL the movies in. For some events, it won't import ANY of the movies in. For some events, it will only import SOME of the movies included in it.
If someone responds, "Your camera is incompatible" OR "the file format isn't supported" they should have points deducted from their account because they didn't read anything except for the first sentence and decided I don't know what I'm talking about.
Here's some interesting things that have happened:
1) I found ONE event in question called "Wedding Pictures & Movies" that wasn't showing up in iMovie. The camera we took movies with has other movies in other events that have successfully been imported into iMovie. But anyway, I realized that for some programming languages (I don't know if this is true with iMovie, I doubt it) that the ampersand (&) sign is used in code and shouldn't be used in titling things. So I shortened the name down to "Wedding" and all the sudden (more like after iMovie asked me if I wanted to create the thumbnails for the movies), SOME of my movies were put into iMovie, not all.
2) Upon realizing that either: the event name was too long OR the & sign actually did screw it up, I shortened another event in question from "Reception Pictures & Videos" to simply "Reception". Upon opening iMovie, it never asked to build the thumbnail library with movies from this "Reception" event that I did the exact same thing to as the "Wedding" event.
3) I thought I would try and force iMovie to refresh the thumbnail database (or build thumbnails for another movie again) by taking another movie with said camera above, the same one that I've taken all the other movies with, and imported the movie into iPhoto. Upon opening iMovie, it asked me to build the thumbnail, but only did so for the movie that I just took.
What could be going on that movies from the same camera aren't showing up in iMovie? I can understand other cameras, but these movies are all from the same camera. Some will show up while others will not? Does anyone have a clue what could be going on here?
BTW, the movies have not been edited in any way. They are all still in the exact same format and everything since they were imported into iPhoto.

Lightroom 5.6/5.7 Mac Won't Import From SD

Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this same problem. For the longest time, import was working perfectly. I plug my SD card in (Sony SDHC class 10 32gb) and go to import, CAMERASD pops up in devices, and my files are all there, and I check the ones I want to import, and they import. Easy as that.
However, as of the past couple of months, importing from SD simply doesn't work. It hangs on import and never gets past "Importing files...". The top left is stuck in "Copy and import photos" with the progress bar at zero. Clicking the x on the progress bar doesn't fix the "Importing files" main viewing window. It will remain frozen there until a LR reboot.
While waiting for a serious fix, I am able to view the SD contents in Finder, and pick images individually from Finder, and copy and paste them to a new folder in Photos. I can then import these photos from the hard drive to the Lightroom catalog. So the computer can see the SD card fine and transfer the data onto the computer fine.
My hardware/software
Olympus OM-D E-M10
Sony SDHC class 10 32gb
Macbook Pro Retina 13", 8gb RAM, OSX 10.10 Yosemite
Lightroom 5.5/5.6/5.7, catalog frequently backed up
Things I've tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom fresh. Same issue.
Switching to a brand new SD card. Same issue.
Importing one photo or multiple photos from SD at a time. Same issue.
Importing from SD into iPhoto, works fine.
I'm dying to find a solution for this problem, it has completely KILLED my workflow to the point where I just don't bother importing and editing my photos anymore because it is such a lengthy process (select and import dozens into LR only to realize it's not going to work, go back into Finder and find the same photos one by one and copy over, then go back to LR and import into LR catalog). I have no idea what is the problem, and seeing as it just recently started happening, it seems to be a mac software support issue. Anyone ever experience anything similar, and what do I have to do to get my workflow up and running again??
Thanks

Are you seeing any error message?
If no then go to your Lightroom preferences > General tab> at the bottom of dialog box Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs".
Try another import. Any error message now?
Hint! Check the Drive / Folder / sub-folder where you are copying the file to, and ensure you have full Read and Write permissions. Your update to Yosomite may have changes things.

IPhoto won't import from Sony memory stick reader...

I have successfully imported from Lexar firewire cf reader, but when I plugged in my USB memory stick reader - iphoto doesn't respond. I do see "MSAC-US1" in the hardware overview of system profiler - which is the reader. When i put in a full memory stick, the reader lights as if it is talking with the computer - but the stick doesn't mount on the desktop, iphoto ignores it completely, as does disk utility.
I just upgraded to the latest version of iphoto and am using a new intel iMac.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
intel iMac, ibook Mac OS X (10.4.5) iphoto 6.02

I have the same problem. MSAC-US1, always worked before with iPhoto; I upgraded to a MacBook Pro, and now it doesn't work. The Access light momentarily lights up on the MSAC-US1, but the stick doesn't mount on the desktop. The device does show up in System Profiler, just as you noted.
It looks like the Intel version of the OS doesn't have support for this device - which is a huge problem, especially since it is listed as a device on the iPhoto Supported Devices page.
Apple, are you monitoring this discussion? Time to fix this bug!

My bookmarks won't import from file... it may not be html

I backed up my bookmarks per the instructions on mozilla.... When I try to import from html, the file does not show up. I think the file is not an html... what do I do? PS, I am running the current version of firefox and was running the same version when I did the backup

Open that file in a text program like Notepad or Wordpad and look at the beginning of that file.
A bookmarks backup JSON file will begin like this:

Clips won't import from Panasonic Camera

Hello,
I'm new to imovie. Actually, I'm in the process of trying to create my first project on it and am having some trouble. I'm hoping someone out there can answer my questions about it. First, when I plug my camera into the computer and open imovie and a new project is selected the clips on my camera will not import onto the computer. The only thing that appears are the still images from iphoto that were previously on the computer. There are absolutely no clips on the computer even though when I play back on the camera with the battery in it, and when it is not connected to the computer, there is over one hour's worth of clips on the tape. Why do you think this might be happening and what can I do to make the clips import onto imovie?
Now, just so you know. The camera that I'm using is a Panasonic PV-GS83 and the cable I'm using to connect to the computer is a DV cable that I had to purchase, which should have been included with the camera, but was not.(The DV cable seems to fit into the computer fine.) Also, In order to plug the DV cable into the camera and the camera into the computer I have to remove the camera's battery. In addition, according to the camera's instructions, the camera has to be in Tape Playback mode and not in PC mode in order for it to import video images onto imovie. Moreover, images for the camera can only be recorded on a tape or a card, but supposedly the card can only import still and not video images. I've also mainly recorded video images onto the tape in the camera. Finally, the version of imovie that I'm trying to use is imovie '05, the computer is a Powerbook G4 and the operating system is MAC OSX (10.4)
If someone out there could answer my questions soon I would really appreciate it.
All the best,
csoste

welcome csoste to the  boards..
ehm, what is your question....... ?
(and: if iM5 is in use, why posting in the iM≤4 section of this board... ?)
anyhow, usual workflow to import from miniDV:
connect camcorder to powerline..
connect 4/6pin firewire cable to Mac
set camera to play

Text won't import from flash to after effects

Dear all,
I'm relatively new to Flash (and an absolute novice at AE). I've been working on a series of simple videos in Flash that have alternating text and images. The idea was to import these .swf into Premiere Pro. However, Premier Pro doesn't take .swf files and I have to go through AE. When I import my .swf into AE all the text disappears and I only have the images. Any idea how to work around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See this note from After Effects Help about what is imported from a SWF file:
"SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.
