.psd will not import as a sequence

I am using FCP 6.0 / Studio 2. I am trying to import a .psd file into FCP. The file does not import as a sequence. The file imports as a clip file. What is the solution?

I saved the file in Layers. I am using file specifications/recommendation from Ken Stones site for savings Photoshop files for import into FCP. The file stills come in as a clip and not a layered sequence.

Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file

Using PSE5
To my surprise, Office/Word 2003 will not import a .PSD file created by PSE5. I am talking about a simple, Insert, Picture, From File... into an existing document.
Is there a way to make .PSD files compatible with Word? If not, what is the best file format to save in from PSE5 to use with Office?
Additionally, does anyone have a URL that explains the pros/cons of the various file formats (like where they are best used, etc.)?
Thanks!
Bob

I would be surprised if MS Word could handle proprietary formats like PSD. As Ken says, convert to JPEG's. That works fine. I have written many travelogues in Word with JPEG images.

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?

If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

Lightroom 3 will not import any images

[I replied to another thread, but it doesn't seem to be coming up at the top of the post list when I update my information, so I'm reposting in the hopes that someone will notice and offer some helpful advice, as this is rapidly becoming infuriating.]
I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)". They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter and Lightroom 2. I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either). I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then. The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
Update: I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error. I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
Update #2: I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images. Lightroom 2 continues to import just fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?

OK, I _think_ I have the cause & cure.
Cause:
Canon says the software [firmware?] bundled with the Canon Rebel XT "is not fully compatible with the latest version of OSX." I can continue to automatically bring up iPhoto or use ImageCapture, in any case. Thanks, but I want LR3. Canon recommended that I set the controls in ImageCapture to specify opening LR3 when a camera is detected. I did, but it was doing this before, so I saw no difference. Also, I'm not sure it was doing it reliably, before or after this change.
This software incompatibility might explain why the Canon Rebel XT was not loading into LR3, but would not explain why it was not recognized by the Finder to add to the Devices list. The Canon wouldn't get added to the Devices list in OSX 10.4.11, either.
ImageCapture could easily see the images on the camera, and could copy them to a HD without difficulty. But it's not LR3, and nothing convinced the Finder to add the camera to the Devices.
Cure:
What I did find, eventually, as a method for persuading LR3 to import properly is this:
I set ImageCapture to open itself when it recognizes a camera.
I jack in the camera, and ImageCapture opens.
THEN I open LR3. It comes up with the present images in the library.
I _click_ on the Import button (lower left), OR use the keyboard command (cmd-shift-I). It opens the import display, _with_ the images from the camera.
I set the LR3 import settings as I want them - I Copy the files, change file names, presets, etc. as desired. (I make a habit not to erase the camera files, until all is said and done, and the camera is disconnected from the computer.)
I click the Import button, and it does!
SUCCESS!
If I have it open ImageCapture first, that seems to persuade LR3 that images are on the camera.
Sometimes iPhoto accomplishes the same end, but I'd rather not launch that - subsidiary issues.
I went through this sequence a number of times, starting from neither software open. I tried different sequences - LR3 then ImageCapture, camera first or last, etc. The above sequence worked reliably; the others' responses confused me.
Those of you with similar Canon uploading problems, see if this helps any. If you don't have ImageCapture, try it with iPhoto instead. Just open it first.
sandrift71, does this answer your original question & resolve the problem for you?

1080 H.264 will not import

I'm looking for the magic that will allow me to import a 1920x1080 H.264 stream from Compressor 3.0.1 into DVD Studio.
The stock preset of HD DVD:H.264 60 or 90 minutes takes the 1080 source down to 720. When I modify the preset and force it to create a 1080, it plays fine in QT, but will not import into DVD Studio.
If I encode with the pcm, DVD S will accept the audio...but no video
As a side note, I'm also having the same issue as some other posters with the 720 playing double time.
I've tried various bit rates with no success.
I know previous versions of DVD Studio would not support anything beyond 720 H.264 but the documentation I have read eludes to this not being true with the most recent version of studio.
Yes, yes MPEG-2 at 1080 appears to work, but I think the AVC codecs look better and you can certainly shoehorn more content onto a DVD-R while we in the states await the arrival of an HD burner that isn't bundled with a 3k laptop.
Thanks for reading my question/rant.
Sean

I experienced exactly the same problem today. First I imported a 5-minute, ProRes 422 HQ sequence (1440 x 1080) from FCP 6.01 to Compressor 3.01. The 60 and 90 min HD DVD presets have the PCM box checked by default, which they apparently should not be since, according to the DVDSP 4 manual, DVDSP 4 will only accept simple video streams. My original file, which took 2.5 hours to crank out on an 8-cylinder Mac Pro, played fine in the QuickTime player, just as you reported, but DVDSP 4 saw it ONLY as an audio file. (Yes, I activated the HD DVD box).
So I went back to Compressor once more, unchecked the PCM box, and transcoded once again. 2.5 hours later, DVDSP 4 rejected the new file altogether. I successfully accomplished this feat when using FCP 5+ last year, but I don't remember now whether I directly imported an HDV file to DVDSP 4 or trancoded it to H.264 first. My next step will be to try generating the H.264 file directly in QuickTime instead of Compressor.
On the other hand, there was a new version of FCS 2 out last week which needs OS X 10.4.11 in order to update, so maybe I'll try this first. I've got Leopard sitting on a spare drive, waiting for bug reports to die down before I summon the courage to make the switch....
By the way, I did not see where the stock HD DVD preset took the 1080 source to 720. The video format listing in my Compressor inspector said automatic, and I did not change any parameters.

AME CS6 will not import Avid QT Ref files

It says they're corrupt. CS5.5 worked fine. We just updated to CS6 (finally) because Adobe Encore wouldn't work with our new HP Z820 systems. Fixed one problem, now we have another. No matter what I do, Quicktime Reference files out of Avid Version 6.5.2 on Z820 will not import or encode a reference file. This is our workflow. Takes way too long to create self-contained QT files. All applications are updated to current version.

No, no luck. There is no black in my sequence, and if there was - I tell Avid to fill blank space with black. This was never an issue before, still saying files are corrupt. I took all updates, no help. I don't think they're addressing this. I remember in CS5, I had to beg them to get the audio to work in AME with QT reference files from Avid. They finally fixed it, maybe someone can address this? I saw another post a while back on this forum for the same issue.

PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem. But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

One album will not import to authorized computer

I have a Macbook and an iMac. Both are set up to share, both are authorized in iTunes under the Apple ID I've had for years. I make all purchases on the Macbook. Then I copy them over to my iMac by selecting the Macbook under "Shared," choosing "Show: items not in my library," and importing those songs to the iMac. I copy all purchases onto the iMac so I can delete rarely-listened-to songs/albums from the Macbook when space gets low, which is often.
There is one album that the iMac will not let me import. For each song from that one album, I get an error saying there's a problem downloading it, because "You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
The crazy thing is, my network connection is just fine; albums I purchased minutes before and after this one copied over fine. It's just this specific album that will not import. The summary pane for each of the album's songs look the same as all my other files: purchased AAC audio files, same bit rate, same sample rate, shows my name and Apple ID as the purchaser, same directory location on my computer, all files have the .m4a extension, ... nothing at all seems strange or unusual about this album's files.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how to fix it? In the past month, I've imported close to 12,000 songs. This is the only album this has ever happened with.
P.S. If anyone's curious which album won't transfer, it's Beck's Sea Change, purchased October 2nd, 2012. Oddly enough, I originally purchased this album (from iTunes) in 2008, but in 2009 iTunes began saying it couldn't locate the files. I didn't delete them — they just up and disappeared. That's never happened with anything else before or since, either. It's as if there's something wrong with the files of this particular digital album.

Hello welcome to apple discussions,
Itunes does tend to "Mess Up" sometimes when Importing/adding by folder. what you first need to do is try adding each file by going to File>Add FILE to library in iTunes.
If you do this and get no error message or anything but the one file you just tried to add does not show in iTUnes, its one or the other, Either the tags are corrupt or the song itself is corrupt. iTunes tends to be more "Picky" on windows then other windows based programs.
You can test the tag issue by searching google or yahoo for a program called "TidyMP3". Just pick one song that will not go into iTUnes, use Tidy MP3 to "Strip" the ID3 tag off this test song and then try to add it to iTUnes. If it goes in you now know the issue and can use this program to strip all tags off your "Problem" MP3s.
If it doesn't theres something wrong with the song itself. I covered a similar issue before where the person had the songs in iTUnes but it wouldn't play because the song was corrupt and they seemed to come accross great programs for fixing this so heres the link to that post, you can overlook it and follow the links they provide http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2487497#2487497

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

No bookmarks display when I click ok for each, even after quitting and restarting firefox.
Am I doing something wrong?

ITunes 10 Will not Import CDs

I just discovered that iTunes 10 will not import audio CDs. Once you insert the CD and iTunes launches, the CD disappears from the desktop. It is not there in the finder window nor in the iTunes window. This occured on all three Macs I tried it on and occurred with about four different audio CDs.
Apple Technical Support people duplicated the problem on their Macs and have referred this to engineering. If you plan on importing audio CDs in the near future I suggest not installing iTunes 10 now.

HT3290 Video will not import after updating my iMovie from '09 to '11

I updated my imovie '09 to '11 and now my video files from my camcorder JVC (model GZ_MG330HU) will not import. The video files show up in my iMovie library but when I try to create a project or movie and then share what I have created the files are listed as still on my camera and it says that I need to reimport. It says to go the File Menu and click "Reimport from camera archive" but there is no such option.
I used to import my files with my old iMovie version and create mini home videos but now even those video files are not listed. I would like to reload the old version. How can I do that? Will iMovie '11 get fixed?
Help!
