TIFF Files Not Importing!! Help!!

I have a whole batch of Photoshop illustrations (NOT photos) that are in TIFF format. each one is about 20MB each, and for some reason i cannot load them into iPhoto, nor can I open them in Preview.
any thoughts as to why this is? I want to put the drawings together and order a book using iPhoto 5, but obviously I can't get them in.
I CAN convert them to JPEG and they load in fine and look correct, but i'm afraid i'm going to lose crucial color data by compressing them.
Help! any thoughts, solutions, or shoulders to pout on?

I checked the permissions and they are Read & Write - thank you for that advice.
I went back to trace some steps and here's what i'm doing. maybe this might shed light? i don't know for sure:
1. create the illustrations in Photoshop (RGB)
2. Flatten the layers, convert to CMYK
3. Save image on hard drive as TIF with a name like: XXXXX01.tif
* now here's where a problem begins
4. i noticed that when i save in Photoshop, a message like, "Some files being saved contain non latin characters, they will be incompatible with some browsers"
5. the file is saved and can be opened again, without problem, in Photoshop.
I am guessing that perhaps this might have some relation to why the files may not import into iPhoto the way they should.
in retracing my steps, i tried saving these files with different names, as RGB, as .RAW, as .EPS and in as many profile configurations i could think of - all with the same final result: could not import into iPhoto.
I really appreciate the consideration in trying to help me with this. any further thoughts or feedback would be very much appreciated.

  • Files not imported because they could not be read.  L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos

    Files not imported because they could not be read.  L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos and video visible when card inserted but not able to import.  Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

    This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

  • RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

    I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
    I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

    Michael
    I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
    records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards

  • AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

    I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
    I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
    *+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
    Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
    I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

    I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
    Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

  • Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

    Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

    AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.

  • Files not importing

    I am getting a number of files that won't import into my iPhoto 09. I can't see anything odd about them. For example the last one that wouldn't go in was 8 bit, rbg, jpg. The error message simply says "The following files can not be imported." What are the reason file won't import?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Long story short - my computer crashed when i was upgrading to leopard and ilife'09. So now that both are installed on a fresh computer, i launched iphoto '09 which didn't have anything in it. It automatically directed me to import pictures from the iphoto library on my backup/external hard drive. When I clicked okay, it then imported all those pictures and created an iphoto '09 library. But like i said, all the pics ending with _2.jpg would not import.
    I haven't tried the open and save with preview trick yet but will try that. I worry that that is the only solution because I have about 3300 pictures affected by this problem.
    Thanks for your help TD.

  • OMF Files not Importing into Logic 7.2.3

    Can anyone help me with this ongoing problem ? I'm writing music for a film where my editor is using the latest version of Final Cut Pro 5.1.2, I'm running Logic 7.2.3 on OSX 10.4.8 she exports the OMF Files....but I can't import them on my system. The files are imported without any problems at the mixers studio, but he uses Pro Tools.
    Any Ideas ???

    logic's import and export is very unreliable. actually it is something that i think is quite disgraceful. that said:
    - are you sure that you have a self-contained OMF file in version 2 format? not a referenced OMF? you can tell because the OMF file will be large if it has the audio content embedded or small if it does not.
    - most OMF problems are problems that come from the originator. for example, you can get problems if the audio is at different sample rates.
    - try to get everyone to work with AAF files which are more reliable and do the same job.
    - logic doesn't support different sample rates at the same time, unlike many video editing programmes. the audio should be consolidated before exporting and video references removed.
    i hope this helps. this really is an area of weakness within logic. please post back with how you get on.

    Hi Marcus,
    Thank you for answering me. I have tried this while users are logged in
    and while they are not but i get the same error message either way. When
    you say "is it imported?" i guess i am not sure the answer. I did not do
    anything specific to import the machine. I can see it in consoleone but
    that is the message i get when i try to access it. Is there something
    specific i need to do to import the machine? On the reboot question i am
    unable to answer as i am not sure what constitutes importing the
    workstation. They have the Novell client on them for several reboots
    before i try Zenworks. Thank you so much for your help.

  • Sound files not importing

    I have a problem while trying to import any sound file into flash CS5.5. I have not successfully done it since purchasing the program. I have tried opening the file in a sound editor and saving it, as well as trying to convert to a different sound type that is still Flash compatible. I'm trying with .mp3 and .wav files mostly. The error messages i receive are "Couldn't import C://*file location* or else i get"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I havent figured out a pattern as to why either might be showing or the connection to the file.

    there may be something wrong with the mp3. sometimes i receive mp3 files from clients that i can't import into flash. when that happens, i drag the mp3 into iTunes, select the file, click advanced, click create mp3 version. iTunes creates a new mp3 file which i click and drag out of iTunes (which creates a copy of that new file) into my job folder. flash imports the mp3 i dragged into the job folder. then i go back and delete both versions out of iTunes.
    note: if you don't see that option in iTunes, go to iTunes preferences > general > import settings > mp3 encoder

  • TIFF files not placing/placing as blank images in InDesign CC

    I'm working on a large catalog and am having issues with just one of the TIFF files I'm trying to place out of 300+ that have all been saved the same way in Photoshop. When I try to replace the image within it's original bounding box, it erases anything inside. If I try to place it on it's own, nothing happens. The links panel says the image has been placed, but nothing is showing up on the document, or even outside the document on the pasteboard.
    How can I get this image to place?!

    When you say orange box, I presume this is the image bounding box, and not the frame bounding box on a layer colored orange. Are you in any sort of Preview mode? Have you checked the Attributes panel to be sure it isn't set to suppress printout, or the layers panel to be sure you didn't place it on a non-printing layer?
    If you copy what is selected to a new file, does it show? Does it open correctly if you choose edit original? What's the color mode? Does the link info show pixel dimensions? What do the scale fileds show for the scale factor?

  • 2.1.4 doesn't see tiff files to import

    Hello again
    In dealing with the green overlay issue, I upgraded to 2.1.4.
    I'm working on archiving (and restoring a bit) some old family photos, and while working out the green ghost, I decided they weren't sharp enough and decided to rescan them using a different scanner.
    I scanned them at 1200 ppi and saved them in tiff format (16-bit grayscale and 48-bit colour) instead of jpg for better quality. I figured that would be fine since Aperture creates tifs when I edit in NIK plugins.
    Tonight I opened Aperture and went to import my tiffs into a new project and there were no files to import. Which is strange, since I could see them right there in the finder.
    So, I thought maybe they were too big, and opened one in PS, changed the mode to 8-bit grayscale and 600 ppi, but Aperture still didn't see it in the folder.
    Soooo, I renamed the 2.1.4 Aperture app and reinstalled my 2.1.2 Aperture and ta-da! there were the files!
    So 2.1.2 imported all the tiffs, large as they were, into my project (referenced). I closed this app, and reopened the 2.1.4 Aperture and sure enough, there in that new project were the images that it couldn't see to import for itself.
    What gives?
    Sure it's a work-around, but now i'm having to tolerate the green overlay and wait for aperture to think it over before it shows me some of my work, then I have to import with an earlier version just because it can't see the files, (on top of having to convert my RAW files to DNG when the camera came out 2 years ago) ... this is getting frustrating and is tres inefficient.
    Is there something I'm missing here?
    Elizabeth

    Well, there you go. That solved the issue.
    I didn't realize that Aperture would search it's existing projects to find 'duplicates'!
    And yet, the names are different for the tiffs and jpgs, only the images themselves are the same.
    I am befuddled.
    Thank you for the solution, Tony

  • "Files not imported because they could not be read" from SD card.

    Trying to import photos from my disk. Was able to download 2/3 of chosen files. Came back to do the last 3rd, and a message pops up, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." then listed the file names that were not imported. Thought maybe it was the card, or a fluke. New disk today, same issue. Any resolution ideas

    Usually, that error message comes up because the files couldn't be written. Yes, I know, it's weird.
    Generally, it's because you are trying to write to a folder or a disk that is protected some way. You need permission to write to that folder, and on Windows 7, you need to have ownership of that disk and folder--running as an administrator isn't enough.
    What operating system are you running, and what version on Lightroom?
