Problem importing into iPhoto11

I thought I may have resolved my problem by rebuilding my library, but we imported some photos, my wife even edited them. Then the next time we went to iPhoto the pictures were not there. We tried to import them again, didnt edit this time, & closed iPhoto then opened up again and they were not there. Any suggestions?

Your original library is damaged.
Option 1
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.

Problems Importing into Address Book

Trying to import my address book from a vcf file. I get the following error:
Are you sure you want to add 1511 cards to your address book? There were problems importing.
My address book file has 2308 cards, not 1511.
Any suggestion

If you open Address Book, click on Card menuitem and select Edit Template. This will show you what the current template is and what fields may be added to the template.
You can then edit the LDIF file when it's created to select only the desired export fields that will match the template.
I believe when you then import into Address Book you will have an opportunity to match up the corresponding fields. Been so long since I did this I don't remember.

Problem importing into FCPX from SD card

Hi, I'm having a problem importing some videos from a micro SD card into FCPX. It is some helmet camera footage shot at 720P @ 30fps. It's a .mov file.
My problem is when I go to the "import media" window, I can see the files on the import screen. I can also skim and play the files before they are imported. The first time I tried to import them, I got an error message (which I unfortunately didn't write down). After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I could still see the file thumbnail, but if I hovered my mouse over it, the thumbnail turned black. I then restarted FCPX, and tried again. I found that I could still see, skim, and play the file, but when I choose to "import selected" the little pie shaped downloading icon doesn't appear anymore and the file doesn't attempt to import.
Should I go to Disk Utility and do a "Verfiy Disk" and "Repair Disk" (if necessary) or might I permanantly delete the corrupted file if I "fix" it by repairing the disk?
I have a screenshot of the import screen if needed, but the resolution is terrible. I'll need to take another one if it would be beneficial to see it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Glen

A screen shot would be good..
If you have mulltple files and you know which one is a problem, select just the others and import them.
Try copying the entire card to your HD and seeing whether it will import from your computer.

Problem Importing into iPhoto 11 Events after Photostream

Before Photostream, importing my photos into iPhoto worked fine for me. By USB cable from my iPhone or camera, I imported and elected to import all of them. They showed up under "Last Import", but I also had the option (I forget now the procedures I followed) to sort this Last Import into one or more existing or new Events that I could name.
I don't know if Photostream has caused the problem, but now after I follow the prior procedure and have a "Last Import" (which does show thumbnails of all the photos), I can't find out to create the actual Events into which I want to place these photos. If I go to Photosteam, this does not help. If I go to the automatically created, say, "Dec 2011 Photosteam" event folder, I can (painstakingly) create one or more events into which to sort the pictures in that folder--but at this point I lose many of the photos from that folder. However, they are still in the main Photostream folder and in "Last Import".
If I go to "Events" in the source column at the left, I do not see the new pictures (they are only in Last Import, in Photostream, and, sometimes, in the most recent monthly folder automatically created for Photostream). If I go to the Events dropdown menu, the selections (such as Create Event) are grayed out--irrespective of whether I have Selected All or selected any of the photos in the Last Import or Photosteam folder. Thus, I can't get hold of the new pictures to put them into the events that I want.
How do I break apart the individual photos like I used to be able to do, so that I end up with photos divided into existing or newly created events?
Has anyone run into this problem? Is anyone doing the same tasks without having any problem of this nature? Anyone have a solution?

Okay, I think I've answered my own question, based on my looking further at other questions and answers in this forum. I needed to control-click on one of the photos in my Photos or Last Import folders and select "Show Event" from the contextual menu at the bottom of the pop-up window. This directed me way up in my library to near the beginning--instead of at the end (latest date) where I expected to find the event. I then need to go to the View menu, then down to Sort Events, and then click to Sort By Date (I don't know how this had become un-selected.)
Once I was able to find the photos, I was able to follow my old procedures to continue creating events and sorting photos--all without needing to go into Photostream (since I had uploaded into iPhoto the photos I wanted to sort by USB cable from my camera and my iPhone).

Problem importing into AE CS6

Hello. I have a problem importing some footage into AE CS6. It was filmed with a Canon XA10 in PF30. My primary computer is a Windows 7 based system with plenty of RAM and a i7 processor. While Premiere Pro can import this footage and allows me to edited, the problem starts when I try to import it into AE CS6. I have the cloud and AE should be up to date with its updates. When I try to import the footage I get an error that states "After Effects warning: Error with file" I also use an Mac with Mountain Lion (at a different location) and it has no problems importing this footage into AE CS6 and allowing me to edit it. Here are the errors that I receive
The top image is the error that I get.
The next image is source information I get when it is imported into Media Converter.
The bottom left image is the import screen from AE. I circled the only difference that I noticed.
The bottom right image is some footage that AE does not have any problems with.
I have searched the internet and someone suggested that I convert the footage to another codec like MOV. I have done this many time using different codecs (mov, h264, avi, etc) and I have converted these files on the Mac as well.. All of those files come up with the same error in AE as well as nothing in the format location in the AE import screen. I am thinking that my Windows system maybe missing a codec that is installed on the Apple. Can anyone tell me if I am missing a codec? If so can anyone tell me where I can get this codec. Any help would be great as I have been woking on this problem for a while now.

You can drag the comps from the project window in AE to the project window in Premiere Pro. This won't work if you happen to have installed the applications individually instead of as part of Production Premium or another suite or products, but as long as you installed them together, you can drag and drop between the applications all you want.

Problems importing into iMovie and which is the required space..

Hi Karsten!
I could see that you know about video editing. And I have some problems and doubts I would like to ask.
The thing is that I have just bougth an ibook of 80 Gb hard disk RAM 512 MB Speed 1.67 GHz and I am trying to edit a documentary with it. The thing is that I started to importing images from a HDV 1080i Sony Camcorder into iMovie and the speed wasnt in real time, was slowing down to half of the original speed. I went to visit the help of iMovie it was saying when it happens is due to the desfragmentation of the disk, but I dont know if it is the real problem, it is a new computer, and how I can solve it.
And I also would like to know if I could have better results in the video importing and editing with an external hard driver other wise I could add more ram and more memory for the hard disk in the computer...
And the last thing, I would like to know how much space would I need in my computer for install and using Final Cut Pro and if it would be easy with more memory or an external hard drive...
Please Karsten or whoever who can have knowledge about these matter could help me. I really need it so much to start with my docu...
Thank you
Mac OS X (10.4) 80 Gb hard disk RAM 512 MB Velocidad 1.67 GHz

"..which is the difference between FCP and FCE?.."
FCE is Final Cut Express, a cheaper and 'cut-down' version of FCP (Final Cut Pro).
FCE changes HDV (hi-definition) video into a slightly different format called 'Apple Intermediate Codec' when it's importing HDV material - just like iMovie HD does. This means that importing is generally slower than importing ordinary DV, because the movie has to be converted while it's importing. On a G4 PowerBook or iBook HDV might import at half-speed, or take even longer (..maybe 4x 'real time'), as you've found.
The latest version of FCP can import HDV, and edit it, without any conversion, Apple says. But I don't know if that applies on any Mac, or if that needs a special capture card to be fitted into a PowerMac. In theory, I'd expect that importing and editing HDV using FCP HD 5 (..the latest version..) would be faster than on a PowerBook - because there's no conversion involved - but I can't say for certain till I receive my latest version of FCP (..I just did an Apple "cross-grade" to convert my FCP HD 4.5 into FCP HD 5).
HDV doesn't take up any more room on a tape than normal DV, because the high-definition is 'squashed' onto the tape, using MPEG-2 compression. Because iMovie HD and FCE HD can't handle this kind of compressed material directly, they convert it into the Apple Intermediate Codec, and that form of the video takes up more storage on a hard disc than the normal DV does!
So although normal DV uses about 13 gigabytes of hard disc space per hour of running time, the converted HDV (..converted into 'AIC'..) takes up, er ..I'm looking for a recent project ..most are on an external disc ..are here's a simple one: one-and-a-quarter minutes' worth uses 904 megabytes; nearly 1 gigabyte! ..Here's another: four-and-a-half minutes' worth takes up 6.5 gigabytes!
Using normal DV, 6.5 gigabytes would hold half an hour's worth of video, not 4.5 minutes' worth!
So you will need a big external hard disc to store hi-def footage. At least, with iMovie HD or FCE HD.
I don't know if FCP HD 5 would store imported footage in the original HDV format, that is with the same storage requirements of ordinary DV - like HDV tapes. If so, that means that you could store hi-def (..if you're using FCP HD 5..) in just the same amount of space as normal DV ..but I don't know for sure. Maybe you could ask in the FCP Discussions. I probably can't tell you till next week or so..
Where to get a 300gb hard disc? I'm sure there must be at least one shop, or electronics store, in Istanbul which sells them at reasonable prices. Otherwise, look online. There are many companies which now sell 300gb discs: Maxtor and LaCie, for example. But you do need one with a FireWire connection; not just USB. You don't need to buy from an Apple store: buy one from any computer shop ..an external hard disc for a PC works exactly the same ..but you must format it for use with a Mac, as described before.
All I know of Istanbul is Cumhuriyet Caddesi, Taksim Square, and the areas around what used to be the floating bridge, and the Spice Market, and round Haigha Sophia, but there must be lots of computer shops somewhere in the city.
"..I have never used iMovie for editing, I understood it is only good for capturing, sample and concise.." and it's also good for transitions, titles, adding photos and audio, adding video effects and for audio tweaking. And it integrates perfectly with iPhoto, iDVD, GarageBand ..and now 'iWeb'.

Problems importing into Iphoto 5

All of the sudden I am getting an unrecognizable file error when I try to import photos into iphoto 5. I have tried 2 different cards using both the card reader and the usb cord plugged into the camera. I uploaded photos last week and as far as I know nothing on my computer has changed. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

You get an "unrecognizable file error" if there is some file on your card that is not a valid image file - either it's corrupt or it's just something completely different.
You should try to reformat your card in the camera and see if the problem persists.
Of course:
Don't forget to backup your pictures from the card before you reformat the card/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
Since you can drag them to the desktop you can import them to iPhoto from there until you solved the problem

Problem importing into new 10g db

I am very new to Oracle - so you are warnned!
I installed Oracle 10g and created a new database called alio. I set up a service and a listener.
I now am trying to import a dump of another db. I ran a script before this to make sure alio is structured the same as the dump file, schemas, tablespaces, etc.
I get to this point in the import and then it stops:
Export file created by EXPORT:V10.01.00 via conventional path
import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
. importing ADM's objects into ADM
No errors or anything, it just stops. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for helping me. I found the alert.log file and copied the bottom of the file below:

Problems importing into imovie

I am having trouble getting AVI files into imovie to edit. I have two files I want to use, one is a "movie" in itunes and they both are playing with quicktime. One of the files I can see in imovie but cannot do anything with. Thanks!!!

I posted a similar question recently and my thread may be helpful. For what it's worth, I ended up buying QT Pro and I have found it a better solution that importing/converting these AVI files.

Problems importing into iMovie4

Hello all,
I recently filmed a video using a Canon XL-1s camera I rented. Unfortunately, I had to return the camera before importing my footage into iMovie. So I used a Sony MiniDV camera instead (I don't remember the model number) using it's "iLink" Firewire connection to my PB.
Here's the issue: When playing the tapes I used to film from the Canon in the Sony, the audio is completely distorted, the video is choppy and stutters a lot. This is even before importing. Is there something different between the Canon and Sony when playing the DV tape? Do I need to use the Canon to transfer the footage to iMovie? Or is my footage completely useless now?
Thanks in advance.

A couple things come to mind. First off, do you know the footage played OK on the Canon camera? One possible explanation isn't the camera to camera trade off but perhaps the camera you rented was a POS and you didn't get good footage to begin with. I know I would definitely have used the camera and returned it without thinking about checking the footage first and just assumed it was good, so I certainly can see how other would do the same thing. So did you check it before returning the camera?
Second, assuming the original footage was recorded properly, the other issue is, were you using standard play setting on the Canon or did you set it up for long play (LP) mode to maximize the amount of footage you could get on a tape? My understanding is that DV format is fairly standardized with respect to SP mode and will play the same on different cameras if the tape was recorded in SP mode, but LP mode is not standardized so one company's LP may not match another company's LP mode. If that is the case, the issue may be the footage is good, but your Sony doesn't know how to play Canon's LP mode.

Problems importing into flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

Check the settings:
Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
And then load the *.psd file without the background.
And certainly there is no change in flash...

Problems Importing into LR5 for the first time.

Hi all, just moving from Aperture to Lightroom 5 and trying to import for the first time into LR from my camera. LR sees my cameras but can detect no images on the cards. 'No images found.' Please help!

Hi Charlie,
Sorry. although I understand where you are coming from, I really don't have anything to add to my previous post. If no card reader, copy from camera to hard disk if you can. If you cant, then buy a card reader.. I mean, maybe you or somebody will come up with something else before it comes down to that, but if not..
PS - It's critical that your camera is emulating a disk drive. Is it? Can you browse to and open the files using your OS? if not, Lr won't stand a chance.

Problem importing into Lightroom 3

I'm out of space on my internal hard drive. I have chosen to "Move" on import all photos to a new external hard drive. I have moved 58,000 photos, most are raw files. I now have no files on my internal drive, but on the external drive, all photos were converted to srgb jpg (tiny) files. They read for example.. XBD26007.cr2.jpg I have watched videos, etc and cannot find where I was supposed to prevent this from happening. Can anyone help?

nikon d4 and nikon d 800 are two new camera in the list of NIKON
You need to upgrade to LR 4 in order to work with Camera raw files for Nikon d4 and d800
LR 3 would not be able to detect those raw files
The requirement for NIKON d4 and d800 is ACR 7.1

Importing into iphoto 11 - some are duplicated

Why when I import into iphoto11 from a external HD, does iphoto duplicate some pictures?
I've tried importing by clicking and dragging the entire folder from my external HD into iphoto, and the more laborious file/import/ etc etc...
But whatever way I import, for some reason iphoto displays all my pictures and about 90% of them are duplicate, and I effectively have two copies of the same photo. When I open the duplicated photo it appears to be a smaller version (like a thumbnail).
Perhaps I should point out I am switching over from a windows PC where all of these photos were orginally saved.
I just want like for like transferred and no thumbnails or duplicates it looks far too messy not to mention the additional space on my MacBook it's taking up!
Any help appreciated!

OK Apologies for the long winded reply, but this is what is happening:
I connect my external HD drive and open iphoto.
The external HD is not showing in iphoto under 'devices'.
So, I click on file/import to library and select my external HD. I then select my pictures I want imported.
In this case I've chosen a folder with 50 pictures inside.
I click on the folder and press 'import'
iphoto then imports all the photos. OK so far.
Once finished the 'last import' is automatically selected.
All my imported photos are shown as thumbnails. When I click on these thumbnails the large size pic is displayed. No problem so far.
Now this is where it gets weird.
After all my 50 photos are two copies each of every single photo I've just imported. When I click on these two, one is a small thumbnail size photo, and the other is a larger but not normal size picture. They are about 3kb and 15kb respectively. (The real picture is about 3.4MB)
They also have the name vcm_s_kf etc... i.e NOT DSC0001.jpeg
So, when I click back on Events, the imported folder is there with all the pictures in.
However every single double copy is also listed and shown underneath as a thumbnail.
In the advanced preferences the box is checked saying copy items to the iphoto library.
