Problem importing library

Hi,
I've just reinstalled windows and I'm trying to re-create my old library. I've got my old itunes folder backed up on an external harddrive, but when I do what it says on this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 It manages to import all my playlists etc, but none of the music.
Any ideas why this is? The musics still there in the itunes music folder.
Thanks alot,
Saul

Recreating the library just rebuilds the iTunes library information, it doesn't (and isn't meant to) reimport music from another location. To add music back from an external source you need to open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library and manually add it back (presuming of course that you are trying to put it back on you main computer hard drive.
Alternatively if you backed up the entire iTunes folder (and not just the iTunes Music folder) which includes the library files plus the iTunes Music folder then copy the whole lot back to your computer hard drive and open iTunes while holding down the shift key, in the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Navigate to where you placed the copy of the library file and open it up: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Setup problem importing library from external hard drive

my old iMac died, and I am setting up iPhoto on my new iMac (10.7.2). I had backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive before the old iMac went kaput. However, when I try to import this library when setting up iPhoto, the Library file itself is inhibited / not selectable.
I also tried copying the Library to my Pictures folder on the new iMac, but that is failing (error code -36) about a third of the way through. That incomplete file, also, is inhibited.
appreciate any suggestions on how to confront this problem. thanks.

Thanks, Terence.
When I held down the command/option keys, it prompted me to select a Library. This time, I chose the Library resident on the EHD. iPhoto then indicated it needed to run an upgrade in order to render the library (paraphrasing - I should've written down what it said). That took about 20 minutes, and then it proceeded to import. I could see all of my Events, and everything appeared to be good to go. My plan was going to be to then figure out a way to get the photos individually backed up and then monkey with it some more until I could have the Library resident on the Mac HD and backed up on the EHD.
However, before I got that far, I noted that many of my Events were empty. I would see a thumbnail image for it, but clicking in it would indicate that there were zero photos in that Event. I'm flummoxed.
Right now, I am individually exporting the files to newly created sub-folder within Pictures so that I at least have a copy of everything on the new iMac, but that is failing about a third of the way through and yielding an error indicating that the files cannot be copied to users/.... Further, I'm not exactly sure what to make of the empty Events issue. I read another thread on this that says to close and re-launch iPhoto with Command/Option held down and run the repairs, but someone had written that their empty events vanished when they closed the application. Should I proceed?
Thanks again to you both.

Problem importing library from Aperture

After having imported my whole library from Aperture to Lightroom, I end up with 23000 photos, instead of 35000....

Could be a number of factors going on. First, your library may have a large number of non-importable files, such as PNGs or MOVs. Second, you may be looking at a view including versions in Aperture. Do you use versions extensively? There also could have been a problem during import, but that would require more information to troubleshoot.

IText - problems importing library

Please, somebody help me!
Why I can't add the iText (PDF) library within an existing WD Project?
It seems to be fine, until the time I run it and get the error: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/Phrase ".
PS.: My WD is not a DC, and I can't change it.
Thanks !!
Fabio

Hi Maksim,
I didn't understand very well what you said with "It MUST contain "library:" prefix".
In the Visual Administrator, my library has the name "itext".
In my project, I've tried everything:
Sharing Reference: itext
Sharing Reference: library:itext
Library Reference: library:text
But when I deploy, it gives the message "The referenced application can't be started".
Only when I put "Library Reference: itext" it deploys ok, but still gives the message "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/Phrase", on run-time.
May I have done something wrong??
Can I create everything again?
Thank you!
Regards

Re-importing library & Problems

Hi all,
First time writing to the iPhoto board. How y'all doin?
History:
I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option button and since then I've bought an intel imac.
What happened:
I've tried importing my library "File">"Import Library" (I have over 12,000 pics) to my imac but it only organized it by year 2004, 2005 and forgot my albums, their names, the way they were put and placed.
Question:
Can I import my library from the ext. HD to my imac and have it match the external drive exactly???
btw... I have the newest iphoto (if that helps)

I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option butto
Do you mean to say you copied the entire iPhoto Library folder over the the external HD via the Finder? If so, you only need to copy that folder back to the Pictures folder on your new Mac and launch iPhoto. No need to import into a new library from the folder on the HD. All you'll get that way are photos in the library, no albums, keywords, etc.

I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well. Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store. I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos. As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs. The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
"Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem...
and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
"Import Error"
Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

Intermittent import library generation failure building 64-bit binary in Visual Studio 2013

I have a 64-bit c++ project that randomly fails to build because the import library generation silently fails in the link step. I have scoured the "diagnostic level" log trying to find some hint at why the import library
fails to be created, but there doesn't seem to be any information.
It's pretty random. When it fails, I can do a clean build and everything builds. After a successful build, I can do another clean rebuild and see it fail again.
The 32-bit version consistently builds fine. I see the 64-bit problem regularly in any configuration (Release or Debug).
I'm running VS2013 Update 2 RC.
Any hints on how to debug this? Is this a known issue for which there is a patch?

Hi Anna, thanks for the reply. Yes, this does reproduce in MSBuild if you specify a rebuild. As mentioned previously, if you do a clean and build, even through MSBuild, the build succeeds every time.
There's no way for me to create a sample project. Our codebase is quite large and this doesn't reproduce for simple example projects.
There is no error message when the iTunes.lib import library fails to build. The import library is used in a dependent project and that fails in a way you would probably expect (complains about a missing .lib)...
Here's the relevant section from my diagnostic build output.

Problems importing and playing songs from an external cd/dvd drive

I am having problems importing songs on my PC from an external usb drive. What I have is an external combo usb firewire drive hooked up to my pc with a usb cable. (usb 2.0) When I launch itunes, it sees the cd I have loaded but when I go to import the songs, itunes just pops past each song in a second like each song was just a second in length. Then I have some corrupt file in my itunes library. Itunes gets the cd names and titles from CDDB correctly but can't play the songs or import them. I use this pc solely for playing audio, it is a Pentium 4 2.6 with 1GB of ram with build in usb 2.0 on the motherboard. There is no other software installed on the system other then virus software. When I use Windows Media Player the cd is read perfectly fine. I even play DVDs off the drive with no problems too. This problem in intermittent, with different cds. These are all commercial cds not burnt ones that someone made for me. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Toonz - I have exactly the same problem when trying to import songs - itunes does recognise the cd drive and names of tracks etc - it just won't play more than one second of each, or import any more. i did run the cd diagnostic check you suggested - results below - don't mean anything to me i'm afraid - any bright ideas?
this was a christmas present and i haven't managed to put any new music on apart from what was already on our pc, so am v sad and hope you can make it better....

Problems importing Thunderbird Mailbox into Mail

I am having problems importing my Thunderbird mailboxes into Mail. I won't go into the many problems and issues I had to solve (but there were many) but would ask if anyone can help me solve the one I still have.
In Mail I used the Import Mailboxes command, located the Thunderbird profile in my Home directory and imported it. I may have done this some time ago, but in any case, when I decided to start using Mail as my main email client this week I only had emails up until 6th November 2008.
Now I find it impossible to import the rest of my Thunderbird Inbox - only the sub-folders show up and Mail does not let me import the emails in the main inbox.
How can I get the remaining emails?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Problems importing .mov file

I am all of a sudden having problems importing .mov files from my camera in iPhoto '08. Can't get them to import in Image Capture either...On the import preview screen, all that comes up are empty "boxes". If I highlight one of the boxes, it shows that it is .mov file, the size of the file, etc. but if i try to do the import, iPhoto just locks up.

iPhoto does not like very large movie files for importing directly from the camera. If you get it on the desktop you should be able to import it. I've imported 200MB movies with no problem.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems importing - cannot connect

Hi
Im having problems importing pics into iPhoto .. basically my library worked fine up til recently. I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network. This worked fine until I recently renamed my wifi for unrelated reasons.. now, I cannot view a pic full size within iPhoto as it tries to connect to 192.168.0.2 (the PC) and cannot. Now, this address is fine, I can manually connect to a server, so i'm wondering if iPhoto has some hidden logon settings somewhere?
To complicate matters further, eve if i store photos locally on the mac HD they fail to import with the same "connection failed..." error - even though it should not be going to the network folder!
Help!
Jon

I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network.
So you were running a Referenced Library where the files are not copied to the Library on import? In this scenario iPhoto makes an alias to the actual location of the files. Unfortunately aliases are very limited and once the path to the files changes - especially when the files are on different volume - you're going to have trouble.
Some folks have had success using an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy> to reattach broken aliases, however, I've no idea as to its capabilities across a wireless network to an PC server.
I suspect the problem importing is also related to the same problem. When iPhoto imports a pic it does a Duplicate Check against files already in the Library and if it cannot connect to them well then it cannot do the check, and then it won't import.
A simple test will confirm (or undermine) my suspicion: create a new Library (Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library') and see if you can import to it.
Bluntly, iPhoto's abilities to run Referenced Libraries across volumes are poor. I wouldn't use it in that scenario. For the set up you describe Aperture is a much more robust option.

Can't get imported library items to appear on stage

Hello,
I am new here and I am trying to get my imported library images to appear on the stage. I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search. I have downloaded every available update that is out there for Adobe and it didn't fix my issue. Thanks in advance.

No, this didn't work. When I went and viewed the same files on another computer, the .fla shows everything. I just may have to work on that computer for now until I can figure out why my images aren't showing up on this one. I'll compare the settings on both and and may just have to uninstall and reinstall the software to get it to work. Thanks!

Problems importing songs

Hello;
I am having problems importing songs into Itunes. I have itunes version 11.0.1.12, but this the first time I have this problem, At first it woould only import certain songs (not all of them), later on I cannot import any songs into itunes, I am trying to add mp3's, and there should not be an issue, however I tried to burnd a CD, and it does not import then that way neither.
waiting your response
JC

I'm having the same problem, except I think I've isolated it a bit more . . .
My MP3s are stored on a Windows server and my mac mini loads the songs across my network. I noticed there was an album missing from my library. I found the MP3s (a Van Halen CD that I ripped), went to reimport them . . . and nothing. I ended up doing a complete wipe (preferences, library files, everything) of iTunes, reinstalled iTunes 7.7, and copied the MP3s over to my local mini hard drive. They still refused to import.
I took the MP3s and checked out the ID3 tags in Tag&Rename on my Windows server. Everything appeared to be fine. However, I used Tag&Rename to completely delete ALL ID3 (v1 and v2) information in the MP3s. Once I did that, they imported into iTunes just fine.
Now, here's the kicker: Using iTunes, I setup the information again, and then rewrote the ID3 tags using iTunes (v2.3). After a few listen-tos and restarts (and syncing to my iPod) the songs are now refusing to import again.
I've had these MP3s in my iTunes library for years now. I've never had a problem playing them at all. As far as the MP3s being corrupted, I can play the MP3s just fine using QuickTime or using Finder's Preview view. It's only iTunes that refuses to acknowledge them.
Any thoughts? Anything else I can try?

Aperture 3.1 won't Import Library over Local Area Network

I have upgraded three Macs on an ethernet LAN. One is the "master" and I periodically Import its Library to the other machines to bring them up to date. This has worked fine since v. 3.0 came out.
With 3.1 I can't Import Library over the LAN. On the target computer I navigate to the "master" computer, select its library, hit go, and Aperture on the target machine does nothing for a few seconds and then hangs with a spinning beachball. I have to force quit.
I have made small test libraries on each machine and confirmed that I can't Import to any machine from any other over the ethernet. But I can use the Finder to drag a Library from one machine to another's desktop over the LAN--and then Import Library from the desktop works fine.
I've done all the usual: repair permissions, database, and eventually restore from Vault. I've reinstalled v. 3.0. Get Info informs me that all the libraries are 3.1. As far as I can see, nothing else is broken. LAN networking works fine for everything but Aperture.
Does anyone else see the same problem? Any suggestions?

Me too. Upgraded both libraries to 3.1, rebuilt both libraries to see if that would help ... but no ... no way I can get one to merge with the other over Wi-Fi. Used to work fine in 3.0. I suppose I will have to try with a FW cable and the MacBook Pro in Target Mode - hopefully that will work in the short-term.
