Some files not seen by import tool

Some, but not all, of my JPG files created by Photomatix HDR are not being seen by the LR 4.1 import tool eventhough I can see and view them in the Windows 7 file system and viewer.
LR just does not see them but they are there. I tried closing Photomatix, LR and even rebooting figuring it could be Photomatix not releasing a lock on the file but that does not work.
This is not an infrequent problem. It happens to about 20% of the images I create with Photomatix.
I am not using the export LR plugin

Below are screen shots. If you look carefully you will see that the following files are not visible in the LR import tool at all. They are not greyed, checked or unchecked. Just not visible.
blackbird.jpg, F-117 and B-1.jpg, USAF B-17.jpg, USAF F-22a.jpg, USAF F-82g.jpg, USAF FS-454.jpg, USAF Missing Man 3.jpg
I am happy to upload the files if you give me a suggestion for a file sharing service.
Thanks for your help.

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

OCR works without issue on some files, not others?

Acrobat 10.1.1
While working with converting presentation slides to OCR and exporting them I am only able to get some PDFs to properly OCR. I am using the same process though it seems it simply won't take on some while it does others.
Tools > Recognize Text > In this file > (Default settings) Ok
and yet I get different outcomes.
Is it possible that background colors/type color/font etc. are conflicting with the OCR process? Again keep in mind these are presentation slides that have been converted into PDFs that I am attempting to OCR for export into Word.
Thanks.

Most of the time you would not be able to OCR such documents because they are not pure graphics. OCR in Acrobat can only be done on pure graphics. If there is else on the page, OCR will not work. A work around is to save the document as a TIFF and then import all the TIFF files produced into a new PDF and run OCR on that. Be careful to use a high enough resolution, the other aspect than can cause OCR to fail (there is a minimum resolution -- 200 or 300 dpi).

Some files not previewing in Bridge CS4, only showing icons

This is not new but I finally got to the point where I'm bothered enough to write. I'm browsing folders that have Illustrator, Photoshop, and .tif files, and some files preview, and some just show the icon of the file type. What needs to happen for me to be able to preview ALL the files in the folder I'm browsing? b.t.w., it's not just this folder - it's happened before with other folders and there seems to be no sense to it - some folders I browse everything shows up, others only some files preview and others are as described above. Thanks for any advice...

I would go to tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Let the thumbs rebuild and see how it acts. It is best not to start a new action until the spinning wheel in lower right corner stops to indicate it is finished.

File not found after importing from external hard drive

I have been importing music from an external hard drive into my Itunes account. Some of the songs transfer fine, but some of them show up in Itunes as being imported, but when I go to listen to them I get a file not found message because the original file cannot be found. If I have the hard drive plugged in there is no problem, but without it I get that message.
Any advice? I"d really like to get all music set up in Itunes.

.THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader. However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files. Very frustrating!
Any ideas?

Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself. Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files. Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

Ipod control and other files not seen in my computer ipod folder

When I plug my ipod in and under "my computer" i select my ipod and the only files that appear are calenders, contacts, data files, notes, photos and xplay music.
How can it Show the rest of the folders?

Ya i figured it out....
1). Be sure Hidden Files and Folders are visible on your computer
- Open My Computer
- Tools>Folder Options
- Switch to the View Tab
- Be sure that Show Hidden Files and Folders is selected

Camera RAW, file not recognized after import and migration, Aperture 2.1

Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
Thanks,
Greg

Hummmm..I have just 'manned-up' from a 2gb macbook running tiger+CS4 to a iMac 24" 8gb running leopard BUT!
I shoot RAW and the iMac will not recognize the NEF RAW files! this is soo frustrating - tried to update Camera Raw but to no avail.
please help! I've got 987 raw wedding photos to process!!
I dont know what to do!

Upgrade PSE 9 to LR 3.3 -- some files not supported

i just upgraded my PSE 9 catalog to LR 3.3. Upgrade seemed to go fine, but afterward LR said it "added 20,000 photos but 11 were in a format this is not supported." Any idea how to figure out what photos (or perhaps videos) those were?

sounds like a great idea, but i converted from PSE 9 and my understanding is that psedbtool doesn't work with it?
Oops, yes, that's correct. A couple of people have asked for the psedbtool source to see if they could make it work with PSE 9, but I haven't heard back their results.
A couple more suggestions:
- Use my Any File plugin to start importing all files from whatever root folder you keep your pics in -- browse to the root folder, click Choose Selected, and the list of all files under the chosen folder that aren't in the LR catalog will be displayed. You can copy and paste that list. (Don't click Import to complete the import.)
http://www.johnrellis.com/lightroom/anyfile.htm
- Add a dummy keyword to all the photos in your LR catalog, and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File. This will have the side effect of changing the date-modified of every file in your catalog. In a command prompt, type this command:
dir /b /od /s /tw root-pictures-folder > allfiles.txt
This will list in "allfiles.txt" all files within your root pictures folder, in ascending order of date-modified -- the files not in the LR catalog will be at the top.
- Use the LR/Transporter plugin to list all the files in your LR catalog. Use the "dir" command above in a command prompt (without the /od switch) to list all the files in your root pictures folder. Use Word, Excel, or a Unix/Linux "diff" command to find the files that are in one list but not the other.

Why is there an alert as to some files not syncing when it looks alike everything is synced?

I see a red exclamation point and a notification that some files did not sync, but it looks like everything did sync. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that did not clear up the condition. I did have to add a "Creative Cloud Files" folder… Could that be the issue? Why wasn't it there when the program loaded?

What files? What system? What else? You need to be more specific.

Some files not showing up in iPhoto

I used the Grand Perspective app on my iPhoto library package to find large video files I could reduce to save space. In the process, I've found some files that are in the package but aren't displayed in iPhoto. If I do a search for the file in iPhoto, nothing comes up. Any ideas what might be going on? I'm using version 9.5.1

Can't import raw files; not seen by Lightroom

I have a Canon Eos 20d, Lightroom 2.3, and Windows XP. I just shot raw files for the first time and tried to import them into Lightroom. All of my jpeg photos on the memory card could be imported, but none of the raw files appeared to be even "seen" by the program. Any suggestions?

>Is there no way to do it from the camera directly?
I don't know about this camera but many Canons allow you to change the communication mode on the USB bus. For your computer to recognize the camera without special proprietary software, you need to set it to PC connection instead of PTP. This is usually in the setup section. In this mode, also called mass storage mode by other manufacturers, any software and any computer can communicate with your camera and it will just be seen as a (very slow) card reader. If you keep it in PTP mode, the computer can only see the jpegs. Very annoying indeed. It is very possible that your camera doesn't have the mass storage mode and then you might have to use Canon's software to load the RAW images from your camera or get a $10 card reader. A card reader should always work.

Keynote 09 opens some files, not others

I'm running Snow Leopard and iWork 09. I have several very important Keynote presentations that I dearly need to access. While Keynote will open some of the past files, it will not open several of these critical files. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey Apple, Spotlight not only fails to work as
advertised, it's essentially useless. A search tool
that cannot be relied on is a search tool that is not
worth using at all. Your failure to make this vaunted
"feature" work by version 10.4.3 is really a black
mark on the Apple brand.
Here's my experience:
1. Upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3. Process was long
but went smoothly. New OS is snappier and has several
welcome new features.
2. Experimented with Spotlight. It quickly found text
buried in Word and other documents. Stellar.
3. Spotlight did not find text inside Wordperfect
documents. This did not surprise me because I don't
have Wordperfect on my system, so these files were
unreadable.
4. Converted the Wordperfect files to Word, saved
them, opened them and closed them. Spotlight still
did not find text in these files.
5. Created a new Word file. Spotlight did not find
EITHER the name of the file or the text inside it.
6. Used Onyx to re-index Spotlight. No improvement.
Turned computer off and back on a couple times. Still
no improvement.
Note: I have not made any changed to the Privacy
setting or anything else, other than to re-order the
display of Spotlight's results. Do not have any
third-party system software or utilities besides
Onyx, and this problem occurred before I even
installed Onyx. Also have never fiddled with the
command line.
Any tips? And any idea when Apple will get its act
together? This is a real shame. Apple should be
embarrassed.
-- Disappointed Mac user.
Update:
I re-indexed Spotlight by marking then unmarking my Macintosh HD as Private in Spotlight Preferences. Spotlight then found the name and contents of the Word file I created after upgrading to Tiger. Who knows why it didn't find this file the first time I re-indexed.
Spotlight continued to ignore all content of the files that I converted from Wordperfect to Word -- until I opened each file and saved them using the "save as" command. Then Spotlight worked.

Music files not seen correctly by iTunes?

I have noticed a strange one this afternoon....and wondered if anyone can help?
I have just loadedimported music from two different purchased CDs into my itunes library on my macbook Pro.
I got no unusual messages, import appears to have been succesful and if I put one the same disks back in it tells me that these songs are alraedy in my itunes library.
I can also confirm that the Mp3 files are present and correct in my Itunes folders in their own indexed folders i.e. by album and artisit as you would expect.
However, there is something strange going on in that when I look for these albums, tracks or artists using the Itunes search box on my itunes library then it doesn't seem to be able to identify them for some reason and I can't just drag them over to the playlist for my ipod.
Never encountered this before - can anyone tell me what is going on?!!

Ajay,
Yes, it is a long-standing display bug in iTunes, that has been reported on both the Windows and Mac versions for several years.
When it occurs, the tracks really are in your library, but do not display in Music view. Usually they do show up in Recently Added, and of course, the files really are in the folders where they are supposed to be. Does that match what you are seeing?
Home remedies that people have reported may fix it are to restart your machine, or to download a song from the Store (e.g. a free single).

Xml files not available for import

Is there a way to open xml files from fcp 7 in fcp x without purchasing the 3rd party ap 7 to x? I read that some of the past updates were supposed to resolve this issue but it has yet to work for me. I am runnin fcp x 10.0.7 on OS X 10.7.5. The files that I saved to my desktop are not selectable in the import xml option in fcp x. Please help!!

Is there a way to open xml files from fcp 7 in fcp x without purchasing the 3rd party ap 7 to x?
No. FCPX uses a quite different XML structure. You need 7toX.
