Subfolder Dates Incorrect When Importing Photos from Nikon D3000

Bit of a weird problem:
When I use the Get Photos dialog to import the RAW files from my camera, and ask it to create subfolders based on the shot date, the subfolder dates wind up all over the place.  I did a set last night that had folder years that ranged from 1913 to 2027.  At first I thought it might be somehow confusing time information (ie. 19:13) for the year, but that doesn't seem to be the case after a few more tries.  It seems to be basically random. 
I didn't have this problem on a PC with an earlier version of Elements, but I've recently installed 10 on a new MacBook Pro, so I'm not sure if it's a software issue, a hardware issue, both, or neither.  The camera itself is set to the correct time, and the same goes for the computer.  I've even tried adjusting the date display formats on both to be the same, but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.  Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or if anyone has suggestions on how to fix it.  If it comes down to it, I can just not use subfolders, since most of my organizational work gets done in the organizer anyway, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to worry about it. 
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi there,
Thanks for the response.  Playing with the date/time format on the camera doesn't make a difference.  Nor does changing the way the MacBook keps track of date/time information.  Tried both those things and wound up with the same result as before (ie. seemingly randomized folder dates).  In the PE organizer, the date view looks fine and everything comes out organized properly.  It's just purely the folders themselves that appear to have the problem.
It does seem as though the problem lies somewhere in the actual interaction between camera and computer (since it's really only in the Finder view that this is a problem).  At present I've just stopped asking Elements to create subfolders since the bulk of my organizational stuff is done through tags and albums applied in the organizer anyway.  So it's not a big deal.  Just odd.

  • BlackBox Instead of Picture when Importing Photos from Nikon D5100

    We had been able to import photos (and HD movies) into iPhoto '11 in versions before 9.4.3 (720.91) from a Nikon D5100 camera SDHC 16GB memory card with no problem. In the current version however (apparently after the latest update to iPhoto '11) after importing the contents of the SDHC memory card with Nikon D5100 photos and movies, some of the photos (in raw file format) appear as black boxes in iPhoto after the import.
    So Note the following:
    iPhoto ' 11 Direct Import - does not work
    Direct import from Nikon D5100 SDHC (Lexar) memory card results in some photos appearing as opaqe black boxes in iPhoto '11
    Nikon, Inc. Nikon Transfer app - works to get files into folder in Mac OS X
    using the exact same memory card on the exact same computer (MacBook Pro) to import those same photos and movies using the "Nikon Transfer" application - ALL of the photos import into the MacBook Pro in the same raw file format.
    Indirect Method of getting Photos into iPhoto '11 (never had to do this before but this works)
    after getting the photos into a folder in the MacBook Pro file system using the "Nikon Transfer" application from Nikon, Inc. - iPhoto '11 is able to import those raw NEF files from the folder in the MacBook Pro file system into iPhoto '11 with no problem and those same black box pictures (observed with direct iPhoto '11 transfer) now look fine after doing an "indirect transfer" as described above ( memory card --> Nikon, Inc. "Nikon Transfer" application --> folder with raw NEF photos in MacOSX --> iPhoto '11
    Has something changed in the latest version of iPhoto '11 to prevent import of Nikon D5100 photos in raw-NEF file format?
    thanks

    Still don't know about the hot pink color issue but I did find I needed to download the Nikon Transfer2, not the first version.  Newer Nikon DSLR's require the second version and the disk is included with the camera purchase.  Select the option to have Nikon Transfer2 open when attaching your camera or data card to computer, then go directly to iphoto to import... don't bother importing to the View NX2 unless you plan to use it as an edit tool, etc.
    So, I believe it's not iphoto's issue.... maybe it's Nikon wishing you to use their program but if you really must use iphoto, you just need to go a little out of your way.  ugh.

  • When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

    When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited.  It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto.  Has anyone ever experienced this?  Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

    This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
    This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
    Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
    As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
    The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

  • I imported photos from nikon d600 to lightroom 5. but i don't see it on bridge cs6. help?

    i imported photos from nikon d600 to lightrroom 5. but don't see it on cs6 bridge. how do i know where it was downloaded to?
    i see the folder in lghtroom under the hard drive, but can't see it on bridge?

    Hi
    Then it's not my advice.
    There are two very important things about this.
    • NEVER - move or alter any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects on DeskTop/Finder - at all !
    All changes must take place inside the iMovie Application - else connections break ! and iMovie can't find them.
    Move Events and Projects back and hope that they will be found.
    • The external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - not for iMovie nor FinalCut.

  • When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

    When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
    This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
    Anyone?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Incorrect subfolder dates when importing photos from camera

    I installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 on my iMac a few days ago to try it out. When I import photos from a camera (I have tried with 2 different cameras) in Photoshop Elements Organizer, I am asked to select a naming format for the subfolders. I select "Shot Date (yyyy mm dd)", but no matter what, I always get folders with strange dates eg. 1913 11 05, 1970 06 10. The photos themselves within the subfolders have the right dates, so I am not sure where the problem is.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks

      Make sure your prefs are set to date shot - there are a number of choices.
    Open the Organizer and click Edit à Preferences à Camera or Card Reader
    Choose your setting from the dropdown menu and click OK.

  • Can't Import Photos From Nikon D3 on iPad

    Is anyone else having trouble importing photos from a Nikon D3 to an iPad 3G? I have no trouble importing from a Nikon D70 but when I connect my D3, it just says "No Photos To Import" but there are 30 in there?

    On the D3 do you have RAW (NEF) and Jpeg or only (RAW) NEF selected?
    The follow was snipped from an article at MacWorld, you may wish to read the article.
    (www.macworld.com/article/150893/2010/04/ipadcamera_connectionkit.htm)
    What does it do with Raw files?
    With the camera connector kit, the iPad can upload and store raw image files such as .nef (Nikon) and .cr2 (Canon). While there isn't any way to edit or work with those raw files on the iPad at this time, the iPad does create an optimized JPEG version of each image. You can use that image the same way as you would any other kind of photo on the iPad; include it in slideshows, e-mail it, or edit it in third-party apps. Your original file remains un-altered and will transfer to your computer exactly as it was on the camera or SD card. These features should allow photographers to use the iPad as a storage, preview, and transfer device for their raw files.
    The optimized JPEG that they refer to is 2048-by-1360 resolution and if you use the mail function within the IPad Iphoto app, this is the resolution that is sent.
    Cheers,

  • Problem importing photos from nikon D3100 to MacBookPro

    I am trying to import photos from my Nikon D3100 onto my MacBookPro, but can't do it either using iPhoto or Image Capture. iPhoto detects the images but doesn't display them. When I try to import them it says they are in an unrecognisable format. ImageCapture displays them only as thumbnails, and does not allow me to import them. Any ideas?

    Are you shooting in RAW format, and if so, have you applied the most recent RAW compatibility software update?

  • IPhoto not responding when importing photos from Canon Powershot SD450

    Recently I have been unable to import photos from my camera. I can see the thumbprints but when I try to import iPhoto hangs and has to be force quit? I am able to take the SD Card and insert it into an SD card reader, so there is no problem with the SD card.
    The following message appears in the Console log:
    10/28/08 1:56:53 PM iPhoto[61816] Error loading /Library/Contextual Menu Items/DocumentsToGoXCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DocumentsToGoXCM: dlopen(/Library/Contextual Menu Items/DocumentsToGoXCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DocumentsToGoXCM, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

    Anyone know if this DocumentsToGoXCM.plugin is related to the DocumentsToGo program for Palm PDAs (which I have)? And why would it be involved with iPhoto?

    May not be.

  • Error when Importing photos from Photo Stream

    Hi.
    I have set iPhot to create an event for photos shot on the same day. When iphote auto import photos from Photostream, it it does not create a new event for the photos. Iphoto simply adds the photos to events that are days older.

    With Photostream the photos go to a single Event per month, then you can distribute them as you prefer. Where the photo is taken is not a Factor with Events.

  • When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

    I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
    In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
    I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

    I think I just figured this out.
    Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab.  Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up.  Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
    It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality.  You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews.  iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults.   Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
    Hope that helped.

  • SL & permissions when importing photos from iPhone into iPhoto

    Got a weird one here.
    SL, iphoto '09, iphone os 3.
    Before SL, I could import photos from the iphone into a shared iphoto library and the default file permissions on uploaded photos would be read-only to all users, and so all users of the Mac could happily see all uploaded photos.
    However, since SL, the default permissions to all are No Access (changing the permissions on the underlying file sort this, but that's a tedious manual operation of course).
    Strangely though if I connect a digital camera then the default permissions for photos uploaded from that are read-only to all as desired. So it does look like an issue around the combo of SL and iPhone.
    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get the behaviour I want with SL?
    Thanks,
    Marlon

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
