Recently imported photos not being filed in LightroomMasters Folder...

I'm a Mac user and a newbie to Lightroom having recently imported my Aperture Library to that application. Following the import from Aperture, a folder was created in my Pictures Folder called LightroomMasters and all the masters went into that folder in subfolders...year and date. I believe this is the correct default process. However, images I have imported since then have gone into the selected Collections OK but the later masters are not in Pictures/LightroomMasters, they have been put in dated folders but these are on the top level in Pictures. Hence looking at the content of my Pictures Folder I have dated folders (containing these later imports) and further down in Pictures I have the LightroomMasters Folder which has not been added to since the original Aperture import. I guess if I manually move these "outside" folders into the LightroomMasters folder, Lightroom Catalogue will then not be able to find them.  Am I missing something here? Any suggestions

You can manually move the folders from within LR. Simply drag and drop the folder to its new location. This will move the files on your drive.
If you move the folders with finder, you will have to tell LR where folder is now located. It will show a '?' on the folders it can not find. Right click a folder and select to update its location.
NEVER do re-import!

  • HT201317 Imported photos not being pushed to photo stream

    I imported photos from a camera scan disk last night to my New iPad. The import using the connection kit is very easy, but the photos were not pushed to photo stream and it gives me no option of moving them manually in the photos app.  I checked to make sure photo stream was on for both my iPad and iPhone 4s and powered both devices off and on then waited until morning but nothing has happened. ***All other photos have been pushed. I am only having problems w imports. Any advice?

    Hi Gerard,
    You are correct - my bad! Photos imported directly into the iPad via a connection kit should also go to the Photo Stream.....
    I do find that sometimes folks expect this to happen faster than it sometimes does. Even photos taken with my iPhone will sometimes not show up in the on my iPad or Mac's Photo Stream for several hours, even when they are all on Wifi at home. Seems like sometimes they don't even start loading onto that device's Photo Stream until I wake it up....
    But thanks for pointing that out. Don't like to give out bad info!
    Cheers,

  • Can't open recently imported photos in LR3

    I can't open any of the recently imported photos in LR3? When I pull them up from my external hardrive it tells me the photo is allready imported and wont let me do it again. I can open older photo's just not recent ones. Please help.

    Sounds like you are trying to Import the photos. As you have found out, this doesn't work if you have previously imported the photos.
    Normally, you import the photos via File->Import once per photo (and ONCE only), and thereafter, when you want to work with or view these photos, you do NOT do an Import, you go straight to those photos in the Library Module. In this respect, Lightroom is very different than other photo editors you may have used in the past.

  • Recent imported photos cannot be edited nor will they show on slideshow. Help

    I am running Iphoto 09 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8 snow leopard recent imported photos in my album cannot be edited nor will they show on slideshow while others in the same album do. if I open the picture from slide show I get a screen displaying a white ! and the show displays a black screen until the next picture moves up. Older imported pictures in other albums play fine in slideshow and can be edited. Is there some hidden settings I need to change to allow me to edit these particular photos and use them in my slideshow?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 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. .

    Is your QuickTime up to date?
    Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

  • Long hang time, videos and photos not being processed in playback

    I just purchased a new iMac desktop complete with the 3.06GHz processor and iLife '09. Expecting to be editing in fast speeds, I am real disappointed in that when I import photos and various video clips, then playback what I've compiled (either in the small playback window or full screen), the software does not show the clips being played. Oddly, the software might display a clip from a few sections back or forward that have nothing to do with (as an example), the photo that should actually be playing at that point in time.
    Furthermore, when I export the project into a Quicktime, all the clips are correctly being shown, but this only happens during export. Lastly, there appears to be significant wait times (spinning color wheel) for no reason whatsoever, even when the project is very short in length with few complex edits and/or fancy effects taking place.
    iMac has 2GB 800 MHz RAM, plenty of room on a 500 GB HD and all software is up to date.
    Any insight anyone has would be very much appreciated. I basically purchased this new desktop for the sole reason to edit and compile projects faster than an iMac from several years ago, and this is really frustrating to say the least.
    Thank you.

    It may help you to click /Software Update. If you Mac is brand new, it may not have the latest updates.

  • IPhoto not registering newly imported photos not in library folders

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini using Lion and iPhoto '11 and a Late 2007 Macbook using Lion and iPhoto '09 that are having similar issues. When I upload new photos into iPhoto the originals (Masters) folder and Modified folder are not being updated with the new photos. I can see them and edit them and they sync with myiPhone. Yet, everytime I upgrade or restore from a time machine backup it corrupts almost all the photos from Dec 2010 to YTD 2011. I'm not sure why this is broken the way it is but hoping someone here may know why it's doing this.

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Some photos not being synced from Mac to iPhone

    Some of my photos are not being synchronised to my iPhone. This includes certain photos within some iPhoto albums and some entire albums. I have tried to see if there are any problems with the photos which have not been synchronised, but they seem to be fine. No unusual characters in titles and no corrupted images, they seem just the same as the photos which are being synchronised. Anything I should try before getting in touch with Apple support? I've tried creating new albums to synchronise, deleting photos them reimporting them to iPhoto and even re-setting my iPhone, but exactly the same problem with exactly the same photos.
    iPhone is running latest firmware (1.1.2), using latest version of iPhoto and iTunes, synchronising with my Mac Pro running 10.5.1

    One thing to try.
    Export the photo, from iphoto, that will not sync to the iphone.
    Make sure the file name has an extension. (something like .jpg or .bmp)
    Import the photo back into iphoto.
    Now try syncing the photo to the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I add recently imported photos to a calendar that I'm already working on?

    I'm working on a calendar in iPhoto, and I originally used the previous years worth of photos.  I recently imported new photos into iPhoto, but I can't get them into the calendar I'm working on.  Any ideas?

    Drag them from an event or album to the calendar under keepsakes in the source pane on the left

  • Imported photos not showing up in iMovie

    Not all of my iPhoto pictures can be seen in the photo dialog box in iMovie.  I have done a bit of research, and it appears that I am having problems with the photos I have imported.  Since I am working on a collaborative project where I get photos from other parties, importing photos is the only way I can get photos from other people.  Does anyone have a solution??  This is a bit urgent!!  I am using iMovie '09 with OS 10.9.1.

    I'm not familiar with iPhoto since I don't use it, but if you want to use photos sent to you from others there is no need to go via iPhoto.  Just save the photos in some convenient folder and drag and drop the photo files with Finder directly into your iMovie timeline.

  • Import photos not working

    I am a computer dummy! I have had no trouble until now importing photos from my camera. When I connect my camera to computer a message appears - 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with options under this asking Initialize Ignore Eject. Can anyone help me with this problem? The camera appears to be fine as I can import onto my laptop.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    That is an OS message - not an iPhoto message
    And note that all we know about your issue is what you tell us - so more is better
    what computer are you connecting to?
    How are you connecting?
    what laptop do you have that works?
    How are you connecting to it?
    Your Mac is not really seeing a camera - the camera is just acting as a card reader to mount the removable mass storage - the card
    Since you can use the card on your laptop the first thing I'd try is downloading your photos to the laptop and then using the camera to reformat the card and see if that fixes it
    If you are connecting via USB I'd try a different USB cable
    I'd try a USB card reader
    And depending on what your set up is and what you are trying there may be other things

  • Lightroom 3 making duplicate copies of recent imported photos by itself?

    I use Lightroom 3 and recently it has started making multiple duplicates of recent imported (and exported) photos without me doing anything.... what happens is I import a batch of photos, make adjustments to them, export them... close lightroom.
    Then when I reopen lightroom, the previous imported set of photos have all been duplicated and sometimes there is more than one copy of each photo.
    Is there anything I can do to stop this? I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings to make this happen.

    Lightroom never does anything by itself. It only does what you tell it to do, either you tell it to do something specifically, or you tell it to do something accidentally.
    Perhaps in the export dialog box, you have (accidentally) selected "Add to this Catalog"?

  • Recently imported images not displayed automatically

    When I import images from a card reader the Organizer no longer automatically shows the recently imported images.  In order to view them I must do Find on Untagged items.  I thought I was selecting to turn off  the dialog box asking whether I want recently imported image to be automtaically shown but I must have selected that the images themselves not be shown.  How do I restore so that recently imported images are shown so I may easily tag them.  I am using PSE 8.

    Do you have Show All files checked in Edit->Visibillity menu. Also please check if you have View->Media Type checked for all the media types

  • Imported photos- not going away?

    Every time I open I photo, it says "54 photos remaining to be imported- import them now?" It doesn't matter if I say yes or no, the question always appears, and the photos have already been imported. How do I stop this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to look inside your iPhoto Library folder (in your Pictures folder by default). Just inside the iPhoto Library folder you may see a folder called Import. If so, drag it out to your Desktop. +Warning: do not make any other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.+ Launch iPhoto and see if the problem is resolved. You can use the Finder to look inside the Import folder, import photos you need and trash what you don't need.
    Regards.
