Renaming clips that have already been imported into Event Library...

Hello all,
Would anyone know how to change the filenames of clips that after they've been imported into my iMovie Event Library?
To keep track of my clips, I changed all the video filenames BEFORE importing them, so in Finder, they look like this:
clip_0001.mov
clip_0002.mov
clip_0003.mov
etc...
A few dozen videos that I imported a while back have different names, and I'd like to change them to the easier numerical filenames above.
Problem is...I've already created projects using those clips, and simply changing the filenames in Finder would break those Projects. And I'm unsure if I'd have to reimport the files after I change their names.
Please help! Thanks!

As long as the default iPhoto Preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" is checked you can delete photos once they are imported and tested within iPhoto
You, of course, still need regular backups to avoid loss due to hardware/software/human failure - I use time machine and a daily clone plus other periodic backups

In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto. I thought Apple was the company that made things easier??? This is a nightmare.
The way it should work:
- Launch iPhoto
- Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
- Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
- Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
- Import all photos into iphoto
- Delete all photos per your suggestion
- Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer. (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

I had to refresh my computer; LR was removed. How do I re-install and have it recognize all my files that have already been imported through LR?

My computer's main files became corrupted and I had to "refresh" the system. It kept my files, but erased all of the programs. I had to even re-install Microsoft Word. So it erased my downloaded Lightroom as well.
However, all of my files are still on the computer, including the file labeled "Lightroom 5 Catalog" and 2 others like it.
My question is, how do I go about getting the program BACK onto my computer and having the program recognize that all of the pictures currently in my "Library/Pictures" folder have at one point already been imported through LR? I don't really even know what I'm talking about; I am not super techy. Maybe if I download it again it will already recognize all the files? I just want to move cautiously because I'm dealing with all the pictures of my 4 year old daughter who died last year.
Thanks for your help!

Hi JimHess,
Yes, the files are still located in the same drive, the exact same place Lightroom put them (in Pictures in Library).
When I double-click on the catalog file, it opens up multiple folders with little white "document-looking" blank pages, and when I click on those, it open a dialog box that says "How do you want to open this type of a file (.Ircat)?" with a little box below that says "Look for an app in the store".
So I don't think my computer knows how to open them...I think I need to re-download Lightroom. I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess up the files.

IPhoto wants to import photos that have already been imported

A couple of days ago I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5 - today was the first time since the upgrade that I've tried to import photos. I have about dozen or so new photos and videos on my iPhone to import, however iPhoto is showing 246 photos to be imported. The other 200+ photos were already imported from the iPhone (and have been in the library for a few years now) so why is iPhoto asking to import them again?? Shouldn't it recognize that it has already imported them?
I should note that I have over 2,000 photos in my iPhoto library; so not sure why it chose these particular 200+ photos to import again.
If I have no choice but to import those photos again, is there a way that I can check and get rid of duplicates in iPhoto? Short of manually searching and deleting them one-by-one?
Thanks!

I've just found this discussion, I too have the same problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3429399
I have already submitted feedback to apple... Hope for the best..
Did anyone tried to manually move the newly imported video in the folder of the event where it belongs?
I am afraid of messing things up.. If it is a problem of "flagging" the file at the filesystem level maybe this could help.. but if the flagging happens at the iPhoto Library level... no hope:(

I have 4 itunes downloads that have already been downloaded into itunes how do i get rid of them?

i have three movies two fame 2009 moives and a twilight movie plus an app (tap sharks) in my downloads but each of those have ALREADY downloaded into my itunes but every time i input my apple id and my password it all four come back to download again. i've deleted them out of dowloads time after time but they keep coming back. what can i do to remove for good and not have to constatly delete over and over?

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

How to import pictures that have already been imported

How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
Thanks

Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

Import invoices that have already been paid.

Hi.
I am trying to importing invoices through the Oracle Payables Open Interface that have already been paid. I understand that it is not possible to import invoices this way and have them marked as paid.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I just need a push in the right direction because i am new to Oracle.
Someone has suggested to me to run a payment batch for these invoices and make sure that the payment for these is stopped. Does anyone know how to do that programatically? I also want to mark each of these invoices with the Check Number it was paid with. I have this information in an another database and i need to get it into Oracle. Any ideas on how to do that?
Thanks,
Scott

Gareth,
Hi. I am presuming that the flow on to the General Ledger and Bank reconciliation would work as it works with other payments that are made by the system. My hope that is far as Oracle is concerned is that these invoices were created in Oracle and Paid in oracle. General Ledger and Bank reconciliation would all work as is.
I really just need to know where i should start looking to try and accomplish importing these payments. It appears i can do what i want with the invoices through the Open Payables Interface and writing to these two tables - AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE and AP_INVOICES_LINES_INTERFACE.
However, how can i import the payments that have already been made for those invoices.
- Is there a programming API to accomplish this. Some kind of java library that calls some Oracle stored procedures or something.
- Should i be looking at the Oracle XML Gateway, BPEL or anything like that?
- Can i write to a set of tables or call any specifc Stored procedures directly.
Thanks,
Scott

Lr says photos have already been imported

I am using Lr 4.3 and want to import vacation photos. Lr says they have already been imported but I can't find them even if I search by photo name using Explorer. Should I just uncheck the box not to import suggested duplicates and import again? I have over 4,000 and don't want them on the hard drive twice.

I see that answering in the email from Jim didn't display here. I will paste those answers to his questions here.
1. Correct; just the empty folder. Neither are they showing anyplace on my computer when I search using Explorer and a photo name.
2. I have them on an external HD and the cloud. Yes, I could just work from those but not as easily and would like to understand why Lr thinks they are on my computer when I can’t find them anywhere. Perhaps this is related…. I had these on my computer and had done some editing on them. Went back another day and the entire contents of that trip’s folder were GONE. Those on the cloud and external HD are pre-edits. Bummer!
3. I don’t use catalogs; rather a folder structure such as:
2011
     1 – January-March
     2 – April-June
     3 – July-September
     4 – October-December
     Spain-Portugal
I do use keywords liberally. So can I use ADD to bring into a folder? Do I uncheck the “don’t import suspected duplicates” box?

Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
Linda

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?
I find that if I do that, the parts in the stack all get merged together with no way to expand them (ie the triangle you would click on to expand the stack disappears).
I believe this is a bug, and wonder if anyone else has encountered it?

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge
