Strange import error (lightroom 5, Mavericks)

I synched my folder to Lightroom a few days ago and got the following message:
Failed to find a place for the imported file. (2)
/Volumes/photos-by-year/data/photos/_By Year/Family/bmp/Dad - 2:11:2012.JPG
/Volumes/photos-by-year/data/photos/_By Year/Rock and Roll/Blue Oyster Cult/12:31:74 newspaper article.jpg
I don't understand this.
It found the photos and doesn't know what to do with them?
The first picture was taken by an iPhone5 and copied to disk with the name: Dad - 2/11/2012.jpg.
I've since learned that my system isn't always happy with that particular date format (and I now use yyyymmdd - no problems), but the error message is unhelpful.

Adding to Tony's response. I got the same Lightroom 5.6 import error message ("Failed to find a place...") but with file names which were clearly legal, just numbers and letters. These were .png files.
The same files will load into Photoshop 2014.1.0 with a warning message:
"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile."
After resaving, still as .png, from Photoshop the files imported successfully into Lightroom.
Certainly the Lightroom error message is unhelpful, but it seems to cover more than just file name problems.

Image Capture gives message "Import Error (-9912)" using Mavericks on Mac. What does this mean?

Downloading pictures from my Panasonic DMC-TZ10 camera has never been a problem using Image Capture. Lately, I started to receive the message "Import Error (-9912) and then a list of pictures it claimed had not been downloaded. In fact, all chosen pictures had been downloaded. Upgrading to Mavericks did not solve the proble. has anyone any ideas please? Thanks! Vin Richley

A google search for error 9912 yields many hits. Peruse them. That's all I have to offer.

Lightroom 3.5 Import Errors using Synology NAS on Macbook

Hi all,
I've been trying out Lighroom 3.5 and I love it, with one exception....
When importing my archive (which is stored on a Synology Diskstation DS211j, accessed via an Airport Extreme), I get multiple import errors (around 5% of the total files), saying files are unreadable, unrecognisable etc. Some of the previews are also corrupt. I also get the "Server connection interupted" dialog in OS X Lion too, during the import. After Synchronizing the folder, it successfully imports more of the files yet still with a few errors. After the third or forth successive Sync, the operation is successful, with all files imported.
Now, this would point to a problem with my network connection or my NAS or its drives, however, this only happens with Lightroom. The files are not corrupt as they are imported sucessfully eventually. I work with the files outside of Lightroom all the time, and also stream my iTunes library sucessfully from the same drive, with no problems.
I have imported the same archive into Aperture, and encountered not a single read error or "Server connection interupted" dialog box.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks,
John

I am having the same problem with my iPad and ios5 since I switched I have had the same issue. I am a wedding photographer so I transfer about 2000 raw images at a time. Also, is there a way to see a log of the old import problems. Once I close out the error window I can't seem to find a way to see what exact files it had problems with unless they haven't been imported to the catalog at all ever and I just do a reimport and skip duplicates. Sometimes it takes upwards of 5 times for those problematic files to be imported into LR just fine.

I have a Nikon 300S. It is set to NEF(RAW) + JPEG fine. When I import to Lightroom I get message "There was an error working with the photo? Does anyone know why or how to correct?

Nikon 300S. It is set to NEF(RAW) + JPEG fine. When I import to Lightroom I get message "There was an error working with the photo? Does anyone know why or how to correct?

I don't know the answer, personally, because I don't use Lightroom. This is the Camera Raw forum.

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Importing into Lightroom 4.3

I am having problems importing my images. I cannot import directly from the camera (Canon 5d Mark III), nor from the SD card, whether the card is directly in the built in card reader (2011 Mac Mini) or via a USB card reader. Lightroom just hangs up and I have to cancel the import process and shutdown Lightroom. If I copy the files to a folder then have Lightroom import from that folder, the files copy fine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Glenn,
I assume when you copy the files to a folder using Finder there is no problem at all in reading, neither from the USB card reader nor the SD-slot ?
Then I consider this as strange behaviour of Lightroom. The general advice, if you do not know anything more specific, is to try and trash your preference file, so that LR will rebuild a new one on next startup.
Corrupted preference files are accountable for the strangest effects, so it is worth a try.
Good luck,
Cornelia

Why aren't my images importing in Lightroom 5.4?

I have an sd card with image files and two small videos that I am trying to import into Lightroom 5.4. The dialog indicates it is importing but the status never changes and nothing gets imported. I have no problem copying to my computer in Windows Explorer. I imported ok in the past when there were no videos on the card. What is the problem???

Is there an error message?
If not, you might want to try Lightroom 5.3 instead, that version doesn't seem to have importing problems.

H: not found when insert the card of flash drive for auto import In Lightroom CC

when i try to auto import Inside Lightroom 6 or CC getting an error "H: not found" as soon as i plug the memory card or any flash drive to the computer. i'm using lightroom CC win 7 64 bit

Lightroom does reliably write capture time to industry-standard metadata fields in photos. If you are indeed using the File > Import command a second time to re-import the photos after first importing them into LR, what's likely happening is that you're not telling LR to write the metadata changes back to the photos. There are two ways to do this: 1) Select all the photos and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File, or 2) Select the option Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
If this does not fix the issue, then you'll need to provide more detail about the precise steps you're taking, with command names and options.
direct Lightroom to change each photo file name to match its new capture date
Stepping back, re-importing the photos back into LR isn't necessary to rename photos with their capture date -- use the Library > Rename Photos command.

Long clip import errors on 15 inch MacBook Pro confirmed to be HARDWARE??

Our family has two MacBook Pros, one a 15", one a 13". The 15" is a 2.53 GHz, 4Gb ram, 500G 7200RPM HDD model, the 13 a 2.26, 4 Gb, 250Gb 5400HDD model. All software is completely up to date and we use no third party software other than fusion and MS office on both laptops.
We use the 15" for our iPhoto and iMovie. Our Camera is a Sony HDR CX12.
We have been plagued by the dreaded red import errors trying to import clips from our AVCHD camera. The errors occur when trying to import clips of 2 min or more. We have tried everything imaginable. We dropped the import size to "large" from "full", we tried every setting imaginable, at Genius behest we have wiped the system, reinstalled the OS, zapped and reset every imaginable cache, setting, etc. We've tried aroma therapy and crystals. Tried it plugged in, on battery, tried the USB cable, a card reader, and even camera archives and disk images, quit all programs, all with the same result... error!
In desperation I took the HDD out of the 15" MacBook and dropped it into the 13" (lesser) MacBook.
It just plain works. I can import 12 min clips while surfing the web, downloading podcasts, answering emails, you name it. I put the drive back in the 15" machine and... error. Strangely even short clips the 15" is able to manage import faster on the lesser machine!?
I am guessing iMovie has a hardware ID bug. Usually the MacBook pro has a higher end graphics chip but our 2.53 has the same chip as the smaller MacBooks, might iMovie be expecting a more robust graphics chip in a 15"??
Can others confirm a similar situation.
other than iMovie the 15" works swimmingly.

These ideas won't explain the problem, but might help establish facts and narrow the problem.
On your menu, go to Apple, About This Mac then click the More Info button. This will give you all of the configuration info about your MBP. You can then verify the graphics processor the system has (or thinks it has!).
You could add a new user in Preferences, Accounts. Creating a new user, log in as that user and before and launch iMovie.
I don't know, does Memory Stick have different class levels such as SDHC cards? If so, perhaps trying a bumped up card would overcome some undetectable anomaly particular to the 15" MBP.

FDMEE Import error "No periods were identified for loading data into table 'AIF_EBS_GL_BALANCES_STG'

Hi,
We are having trouble while importing one ledger 'GERMANY EUR GGAAP'. It works for Dec 2014 but while trying to import data for 2015 it gives an error.
Import error shows " RuntimeError: No periods were identified for loading data into table 'AIF_EBS_GL_BALANCES_STG'."
I tried all Knowledge docs from Oracle support but no luck. Please help us resolving this issue as its occurring in our Production system.
I also checked all period settings under Data Management> Setup> Integration Setup > Global Mapping and Source Mapping and they all look correct.
Also its only happening to one ledger rest all ledgers are working fine without any issues.
Thanks

Hi,
there are some Support documents related to this issue.
I would suggest you have a look to them.

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Barry

"Template import error: No VM configure file found" on brand new setup

Previously, I posted Console does not launch OVM 3.1.1, Win7x32 Firefox15/IE8 - Empty .jnlp file which was about VM Console not launching. Since this is a new installation, and it seemed to be a unique problem, I scratched the whole installation and started again from scratch. Everything, including the NFS file server, was re-installed from scratch CD OS installation.
The process is pretty straightforward once you're used to it, and in less than three hours I was ready again to import my first template (a template I had imported before). But now, I submit the the request, and almost immediately the process aborts. (You can see in the information below, that 1 second passes between the Import request (06:32:36) and the failure.)
Thing is, it takes about three minutes, even locally on the web server, to get an index of that large file (tar tzf), and at completion, the vm config file is listed.
Am I misreading the error? My web searches for enlightenment found only one good hit on this error, and in that case it appeared to be an "out of space" issue. In this case, though, I'm importing a 5GB tarfile into a 390GB, otherwise-empty file system, so I don't think that is the issue. The failure in ovs-agent.log is below. What other information may I provide to get to the bottom of this? (Thanks for any guidance/help, of course!)

How did you get the template to where you staged it?
I'd say the template is corrupt or you only have a partial template.
I did notice the call to the template is based on the short name of the host. Can you confirm the VM manager can access the http path via short name?

File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
File Import Error
The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
I've tried everything I can think of:
1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
5. Manually updated AME
6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

Tried that as well.
To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
1. On company internal server
2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.
