Sound missing on some files after import from DV camcorder

Hi everyone,
As a new user to Macs grateful if you can help.
When importing to imovie 08 from a DV tape, some clips go fine, others are then missing the audio. Also some clips have audio and playback OK initially, then have audio missing after closing and re-opening imovie. Is this a bug? What should I do? Many thanks

Hi,
I had a simular problem. To solve it I went about 5 seconds into the footage and started importing from that point, not the start of the tape.
What caused the prob? My only guess is the tape I was using was fairly used and right at the start of my tape I had some old footage for less than a second. When the new footage kicked in the sound went.
Hope this helps.

Magenta banding on some files after importing

I am having a problem where just a few of my files show heavy magenta banding after importing into Lightroom 4.1. I am importing RAW files from a Nikon D800. I don't think it's the camera because most of my files are fine. And I don't think it's the files themselves either because they look fine in camera, in finder (Mac OS X 10.6), in Photoshop CS5 and even in Lightroom 4.1 itself at the import preview. But once I actually import the photos, they suddenly become corrupt and show heavy magenta banding. I've removed the files from the catalog and the HDD several times and attempted to re-import several times without success. And of course there are several attempts at restarting the iMac and running hardware checkers etc. to eliminate extra variables. It's only 5 or 6 files out of maybe 30. Please offer advise...

Well, a strange thing happened...I just reloaded the images so that I could verify one last time that I was picking one that was corrupted so that I could upload it to you and none of the files now show any signs of corruption. I imported them to a temp folder on my desktop so that I could much more easily remove them from LR4 when I was done and they looked fine. So I reversed the process and attempted to reimport them to their original folder with the rest of the files from the shoot and they still looked fine. I even restarted and reopened LR4 and same result.
Rikk might have been right because the only thing I had done so far was run the "recalibration" of the color profile in my system preferences - even though all I did was click next-next-next and leave all of the defaults. But I went ahead and reverted back to the old profile to see if it might have been corrupted, and the files still look good.
I don't know...Thank you all for your help. If the problems pop back up again, I'll come back on with more info. From now on, I'm going to mirror my files to the other memory card for a backup instead of using it for overflow so that I can at least have something to work with on trying to eliminate the card as the problem if this problem shows back up. Let's hope this isn't an intermittent camera problem.

Aperture 3.1.2 leaves ..importing.* files after import from camera

Hi all,
I keep all my files in a folder named Referenced Images. That folder has started accumulating a large number of files of the form
..importing.IMG_8540.JPG_
One such file for every image I have imported from my camera into Aperture. I assume I can delete them since the file is in the folder, but why are they there in the first place?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi, have you tried updating to 3.1.3 to see if this still occurs?

Missing 1,693 items after import from Aperture

My Aperture library had 42,817 originals (46,331 versions; according to the Aperture library selector).
My new Photos library following the migration has 39,835 photos, 1,287 videos, 2 items.
Assuming the Aperture count includes everything, this means I'm somehow missing 1,693 items in my new library.
I'm sort of at a loss as to figuring out how to identify these missing items (photos/videos/whatever). Any ideas?
I suppose I could just try importing the Masters folder inside the Aperture Library file; in theory it shouldn't import duplicates, but I'm naturally wary.
Thanks for any tips.

So it looks like I may have just added back a bunch of duplicates that were sitting in my Aperture trash folder. Better safe than sorry? I'm not so sure.
The worst part of this is that my library had just finished uploading the 40K items. And after mucking around last night, it looks like it's re-uploading the whole library...again.
Kill me now.

Problems "locating" referenced files after importing from iPhoto.

I recently began importing old iPhoto libraries to Aperture, mostly successfully, but have run into a couple problems locating referenced files. While the locate referenced files function worked for most of the photos, there are a handful of photos that, when I located the original file, the time stamp was different (by 2 hours in most cases) and it was about 15% smaller than the file Aperture was looking for. As a result, even though it was clear from the thumbnails that they were the same images, Aperture doesn't even give me the option to Reconnect them.
Aperture 3.4.5
OS X 10.7.5

. I use the Reconnect All button, but it only finds the one file, even when there are hundreds more in the same folder that are unlinked.
Reconnect all works best, if you select all files that need reconnecting at once, and then select the first file in the list to reconnect. If the other files are in the same folder and are correctly named and match, then "reconnect all" should do it. But if the filenames differ, you will have to do it one by one.
Also, the files are all still correctly linked in iPhoto, but every single link is broken once I import it to Aperture.
You are importing with "File > Import > Library", correct?
That is supposed to work. Have you tried to repair your iPhoto Library before importing to Aperture?
Use iPhotos First Aid Tools to repair:
Try to repair the permissions, followed by repairing the library.
To launch the First Aid Tools, hold down the Command and Option keys ⌥⌘ while double-clicking the iPhoto library or the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
The iPhoto Library First Aid dialog appears. Select the Repair option you want to use - first "permissions", then "database".

Unable to Rotate Some Pictures After Importing from iphone4S

When I upload my pictures to my computer (Windows), half of the pictures will not allow editing/rotating. A message pops up that says "This picture can't be saved because of a problem with the picture file's properties. I've checked the properties and cannot see anything that would be an issue. It's a jpeg image. There is also no pattern to which ones allow editing and which ones do not. If I take 10 pictures in a row, 3 may allow editing while 7 do not. Can anyone help me???

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.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

Merge JPEG and RAW after import from iPhoto

Hi,
camera is set to shoot JPEG + RAW, iPhoto manages after import from camera as two separate files.
I want to transition from iPhoto to Aperture.
After importing from iPhoto into Aperture, is there any chance to merge the files in a way similar to how Aperture merges jpeg + raw when importing directly from camera?
Thx
Axel

When I click on Faces, it's empty, the import from iPhoto forget to import faces?
Hello Kris,
How did you imort from iPhoto? If you import using the Aperture Apllication menu
File -> Import -> iPh.oto Library
then all your Faces should be transferred from iPhoto.
Which of the two buttons in Aperture do you use to show your "Faces"? There is the "Faces" button in the Library panel and the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar. Both behave differently. The "Faces" button in the Library panel will reveal all faces, whereas the "Faces" Button in the Toolbar will only show the faces detected in the in the currently selected item (folder, project). So it may appear that faces are missing, even if they are included in the Aperture Library.

Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

Hi there,
I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Rod,
Thanks for your quick response on this.
Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
This is weird
I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
Thanks
Skat

Restore them from your latest backup

How do I delete the media after import from camera?

How do I delete the media after import from camera?

The usual procedure with video is you backup the card contents onto an archive drive. You import from the archive drive making a copy (professionals on set make two copies), and once the backups and import are verified, the card is reformatted in the camera.

Can't import from my camcorder into iMovie

I have a SonyHDR-XR150E camcorder but imovie will not import video when I've connected it to the computer.

One thing to double-check when you connect the camera to the Macintosh is to always strictly follow these best practices.
Get the power adapter for the camera, plug it into the Mains, plug the camera into the adapter
Reboot the Macintosh
Power on the camera, place it into Playback/VCR mode
Connect the camera to the Mac using the USB cable supplied by Sony
Launch iMovie
Go File Menu > Import from Camera and see if it recognizes the camera
These aren't hard and fast rules, but a way to help troubleshoot where in the chain of events things may be going wrong.

After import from Iphoto some pictures are of very low quality. The original file in Iphoto is very good.

Final cut Express
I imported several pictures by using Iphoto. Some of them, not all, are of very low quality even if the original file is of a very good quality.

It sounds as though you may have imported the thumbnails but I can't imagine how.
It all depends on what you mean by very low quality.
Your iPhoto pictures will be around 4,000x3,000 pixels but when they are imported into a standard def timeline they will be around 720x540 which is a tremendous reduction.
They should still look OK but not as good as the brilliant hi-res originals.
