Random picture folders missing after import

I am running a Macbook pro. I use a 120gb external drive to store my photos as i have about 40 gb of both RAW and JPEG images.
I have attempted to import these as referenced images as per the Aperture guide but when the folders are imported random ones are missing.
I have also tried importing a limited number selected folders folders as managed images into aperture but random folders still disapear.
Acoording to the pro DVD that came with aperture importing referanced files by clicking import > "folders as projects" should create a mirror image of my file system on my external hardrive but with thumbnails as opposed to the full sized raw file.
Is this random file import a problem with aperture, or am i doing something wrong?
thanks,
Rob

A possibility is that the files have multiple tags, i.e. both id3v1 and id3v2.x. iTunes seems to behave best when there is a single properly populated id3v2.3 tag.
If you move you library properly there is no need to "Add Folder to Library" on the new system and such problems don't arise.

  • All clips missing after import from camcorder!

    All clips are missing after import from camcorder - Canon ZR20.  For some tapes all clips are there, for others there are none.  All the files are there in the finder, but I don't know how to have them show up in Final Cut Pro X.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok - this is frustrating.  I have been importing my old miniDV tapes again into FCPX as I wasn't able to transfer all of these projects from iMovie - don't get me started...  After importing about 7 of the tapes the first 3 came in fine, but the last 4 didn't have any clips as I said in my original posting.  Now after restarting FCPX a couple of times all of a sudden the clips are all coming in!  Strange!  Guess I'm OK now.

  • Picture - broken/crash after Import

    Hello, i have a Problem with my new MacBook Pro (NOT Retina) Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.3.2:
    when i Import RAW Files fom a card reader some of the Pictures Crashes/break after Import (while Aperture is reading the JPG Infos). The Data File is distroyed.
    (This problem is NOT with my MacPro2008 Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.3.2)
    Does anyone have an Idea ??
    Thank you.

    Well, I did the third tape now with some breaks during importing. Each time I dragged all clips into timeline and saved the project. This worked, but each break will result in a short interruption that is not as the original tape was. I also would prefer to let the importing work during times I am not sitting at the computer, so I am still looking how to solve that problem.
    Maybe it just is that iMovie can not handle more then 250 clips in the clip-list?
    I know that the timeline handles more then that, because I was importing 2x60 minutes tapes before, with well over 300 clips in timeline.

  • Pics missing after import

    I was importing pictures from my camera to iPhoto, the import finished....the pics were erased from my camera. Then iPhoto quit unexpectedly. When I go back into iPhoto my pictures that were just imported were no where to be found. Sad sad story.....can anyone think of a way to find them.....are they placed in any other location???
    Thanks for the help

    Katie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto Library package and see if there's a folder in there titled "Import" or "Importing". If there is look in side and see if there are any files in it. If so move to the desktop, launch iPhoto and import the contents of that photo. If those are your missing file you're done.
    If not you may have to get a 3rd party file recovery application like MediaRECOVER to recover the deleted files from the camera's memory card. If your camera does not mount on the desktop you'll need to get a card reader. IMO using a card reader and not having iPhoto delete after import is the best way to go. I always let the camera reformat the memory card after uploading.
    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 or later), 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Pictures not deleted after import

    When I import pictures from my camera (Olympus C300) and I want them to be removed after import, they are not removed from the camera. This behavior started after a clean install of Tiger.
    Before it worked ok with Panther and iPhoto 5 and with an upgrade from Panther to Tiger.

    Hi Jan,
    I think that info is kept in the Preference file.
    Either drag the file to the desktop and launch iPhoto and see if it works, or just trash the file.
    Preference file
    I strongly urge you not to use that feature. You never know what might go wrong in the download of your images and you could lose them if they are erased from the camera.

  • DI custom SQLs were missing after importing a good ATL file

    The customer had a strange issue recently - lots of custom SQL statements were missing when they imported a good ATL file into a brand new repository. This hasn't happened before. And they are sure that the DI repository versions are the same between the one it was exported and imported. I did some troubleshooting for them and found out:
    1) The custom SQLs are intact when I opened the ATL file in a text editor. And the ATL file can be imported without any issue into other repositories.
    2) Most custom SQLs are missing but not all. Some are imported OK.
    3) When I opened the SQL tranform for those with missing SQLs, the textbox area for the SQL statement was blank. This caused errors in validating the job.
    4) Sometimes the issue was resolved when the developer re-initialized the repository and imported the ATL again. But sometimes this strategy doesn't work - the SQL statements are still missing after the repository has been re-initialized a couple of times.
    The DI version is 11.5.3 on HPUX with repository version 11.5.1.5. The repository database is either Oracle 9i or 10g.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    The issue was resolved. The error occurred because of the database version mismatching. When the job was exported from the dev repository, datastores were excluded. The datastores in dev point to Oracle 9i sources. However, when datastores were recreated in test, some of them point to Oracle 10g sources (same database structure, just version upgrade). Therefore, when the job was exported from the test, although the datastores were still excluded, the version number "10g" were embeded in the SQL transform. This caused the SQL text to be excluded when importing ATL into the dev repository.
    The action taken is to 1) delete datastores with version 10g; 2) create one with version 9i; 3) then exported the job into a new ATL. The new ATL can be imported into the dev repository without any issue.
    Thanks,
    Larry

  • "On My Mac" folders missing after Time Machine Restore

    Restored Mail from Time Machine but all the "On My Mac" folders missing??? The folders just do not appear to be on the Time Machine. Are they stored somewhere else than the Smart Folders and E Mail folders?

    On line recovery after Erase as I wanted to clear all the accumulated junk from my full HDD. I did a backup on my Time Machine first but wanted to just restore the needed items and not all the accumulated junk so I rejected the full restore from Time Machine option during the restore process. Now I cannot access Time Machine in the normal way all the backups before today are not accessible.
    With Apple Support help I managed to access the backup files on the time machine but we have been unable to find the On My Mac mailbox and all the folders it contains. They said they would call me back with a solution but nothing so far.
    Thanks for your help

  • Categories Column Missing After Import

    After importing some photos from my camera my iPhoto window is left in a strange state which I cannot seem to get out of even if I restart iPhoto or reboot the machine. It doesn't show the categories on the left at all and it shows a big blank grey window on the right with nothing to click on. The bottom shows all of the usual controls (Split, Edit, Rotate, Hide, Flag, Book, Calendar, Card, Web Gallery, Email, Print, Order Prints, and iWeb and below them add, info, fullscreen, play, search, and the thumbnail scaler). I was at one point able to fix this somehow by going into Time Machine and doing something (I know not what) and it went back to normal when I returned but I can't seem to replicate the effect now. Help!

    Brian
    Move your cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a '+' then click and drag right.
    If that doesn't work, try trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder

    Hi,
    I am sure others had a similar problem, so pls direct to the right thread/post:
    After Mountain Lion -> Yosemites upgrade I had to import the iPhoto library into Photos.
    As the process ended I only found very few old albums/events but 90% of the library was missing. How do i get the whole library to Photos?
    I had iPhoto 8.1.2 before
    Thanks in advance!

  • Desktop Picture folders missing.....

    I installed mountain lion and noticed alot of desktop pictures missing.  I did a re-install but nada.  I looked in the desktop pics folder and they simply arent there.  The old "Nature" "Abstract" etc are gone, just random pics (about 35).  Only other folder is the "Colors" folder.  Anybody else experiencing this and did you find a fix? I called Apple but they didn't know how to fix it or why it didn't install with Mountain Lion.
    thanks

    Okay, thanks Barney. I seem to be able to add and subtract individual pictures in the default folders, but (as you said) I can't add more folders to the main library folder. I was just trying to keep all of my desktop picture categories in one place, but as it is now I'll have to be happy with two places. I keep the majority of my photos in my user/pictures/"more desktop pictures" folder - and then I add them in using the + button. I do find it annoying that they show up in a different section (below iPhoto) in the system preferences window. Oh well.
    Thanks again,
    John

  • Folders missing of imported photos

    Hello,
    I have imported a shoot of about 3300 raw images in several folders directories.  One of the folders is missing.  It is on the hard drive and contains images.  I try synchronizing the parent folder and it indicates images need to be imported.  While trying to import the images get grey out and then nothing gets imported.  The images appear no where else in LR.  Earlier I did have a drive failure, I replaced the drive with a back with identical folder and directed LR to it.  All good with exception of folder.

    I did the procedure you suggested and did locate one of the files, but then I wasn't sure how to use that info to get the folder to show up (that was before JimHess suggestion to right-click and Go to Folder in Library). So I closed LR and let it run through the optimization process as it backed up, and when it was done, by chance I found one of the missing folders. Somehow it had moved to the root directory instead of the master folder it had been in, and so did another folder. I needed to export my work files for the client before anything else, and I'm about to try and move them back to the master folder. (The "master folder" as I am referring to it, is simply a folder on the root, that is an umbrella for all the sub-folders I create every week for an ongoing project - one sub-folder per week). Any idea why the sub-folders would move? Would upgrading to v3.6 help with any of this, or with anything?
    BTW, the folders did not move in Windows Explorer, they're still under the Master folder there. They only moved in LR.
    Thanks

  • Photos missing after importing to ipod

    I just restored my ipod photo back to factory setting and re-imported all my music and photos. After completion I got a message to say not all photos have been successfully imported since some are missing in iphoto. I know they are all there because I have previously imported all of them. The albums which were imported are only up to a year old, older photos are missing. Please let me know what can be done to include the older albums.

    Soft reset phone. Are they in photos app? Or on vcloud?

  • Exchange 2013 - Folders missing when importing PST to archive mailbox

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue when importing PST files to an Exchange 2013 archive mailbox using the command "New-MailboxImportRequest
    test -FilePath '\\server\e$\ArchiveExport\test.pst' -IsArchive -BadItemLimit 5 -ErrorAction Stop"
    The import is running without an error and shows the status complete. The size of the archive mailbox is exactly the same like the size
    of the PST file!
    But when I check the users archive mailbox some folders are missing. It seems that this happens only to default folders like "Inbox"
    or "Sent Items". Other folders are visible.
    The mailbox import log shows the following:
    16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.
    16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Copying 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    If I start the import process again the log says the following:
    16.01.15 16:46:54 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.16.01.15
    16:46:54 [server] Copying 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes). Skipping 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes).
    So it seems that the mails are really there but just not visible.
    I did some tests:
    When  I import the PST file directly to the users mailbox (without parameter -IsArchive) I can see all content of the PST file.
    When I add the parameter -TargetRootFolder "Testfolder" the whole PST content shows up correctly under that folder.
    Can anyone explain this?
    Regards

    Hi PhilippMair,
    Thank you for your question.
    If all subfolders were merged, we could use OWA to check if the missing folders is appeared. If we could see missing folders by OWA, I suggest we recreate outlook profile and reset outlook view.
    In order to troubleshooting, I suggest we collect the import log to analysis if the subfolder of Inbox or Sent Item is exported.
    In my test lab, inbox has three subfolders, there are 123,456,789; when I import PST file, I will see the following log:
    1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 18 items, 302.3 KB (309,594 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/123' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/123'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 5 items, 62.21 KB (63,699 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/456' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/456'.
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 6.908 KB (7,074 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/789' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/789'.
     1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 21.31 KB (21,820 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
    We could check if there are any subfolder which would not be merged and copied. If your import log has any abnormal, I suggest you send log file to
    [email protected] for our troubleshooting.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim
