Unable to enable auto import

I'm using LR 5.3 and the "enable auto import" checkbox is greyed out. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm confused: are we talking about the import dialog box coming up when you connect your camera, or auto-import via watched folders?
Anyway, to answer your question: there is a setting in your D700 for which USB mode (sorry: dont remember off hand it's name/location).
But if you haven't changed anything and it stopped working, there is a chance Adobe "fixed" something which is what "broke" it.
There were some issues around importing from cards (a back door such that users could use the "Move" operation, which Adobe considered "unsafe") which Adobe addressed (in Lr4, I think). That may be what you're running into. You may have to put the card in a reader - dunno: maybe somebody else will be more help.

  • "enable auto import" is greyed out in new cc

    Previously, everytime I plugged in a SD card lightroom with automatically open up and start the import process. Since switching to CC, it isn't working this way, and the "enable auto import" is greyed out.  How do I fix this?

    I had this problem and I was able to fix it by editing the Windows registry (it was only a minor edit).
    I changed the value of the following registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.AdobeLightroom64\shell\open\command
    The value was:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Lightroom.exe "%L"
    I changed it to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe "%L"

  • How do I stop iMovie 11 auto importing from external HD?

    Okay, I'm going crazy. I, the intrepid Googler, have so far been unable to find the answer to this question. Please somebody help me!
    I have hundreds of video clips stored on an external hard drive. However, when I crank it up, iMovie exceptionally irritatingly starts auto-importing every single clip back onto my MacBook's hard drive. No! No! NOOOO! That's NOT what I want! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I only want to import ONE video of MY choice at a time to edit and then save it back to the external drive, I don't have enough ROOM for ALL of them on the internal drive, you crazy machine!!!!
    So. I go into iMovie preferences, where I'd expect to see an option for turning off auto import. Nope. I cannot see anything there. Do I have menu blindness? Am I losing my mind?
    Then I Google 'how to stop iMovie 11 from auto-importing from external hard drive and find nothing. Am I alone in this? Surely not. Am I being a dunce? Possibly.
    Advice, anyone?

    Okay. Please ignore the above. I was being a dunce. Today, it appears not to be doing it any more. Bizarre. LOL!

    The image shows a database/panic error and no sign of an actual number indicating space available in the database.  Then there's this:
    hnpclecd:ecdadm 62> cat SYBSPACE.LOG
    SCRIPT SYBSPACE
    =================
    auto extend feature is not set
    Msg 3606, Level 16, State 0:
    Server 'ECD', Line 41:
    Arithmetic overflow occurred.
    ======================================================             
    I'm guessing ...
    The SYBSPACE script is suppose to generate some numbers indicating space usage for the database in question.
    But the SYBSPACE script runs into an error so it fails to generate the space usage numbers that SUM is looking for.
    SUM is proceeding as if the lack of space usage numbers is an indication of no free space in the database, as opposed to aborting the entire process because of the SYBSPACE error.
    Fix the code that's generating the error in the SYBSPACE script and you'll probably find that SUM is then able to accurately assess the state of your database.
    The code that's generating the error (3606, arithmetic overflow) definitely needs to be fixed by SAP (ie, open a tech support case with SAP) but in the meantime if you've got access to the SYBSPACE script, and you understand T-SQL, you could probably fix the SYBSPACE script so that you can continue with your SUM operation.

  • Auto Import feature lacking convert to DNG and move to subfolders...

    Folks,
        As many of you may be aware, when setting up a folder for auto import, LR 3.3 does not give you the same options as you might see in the regular import functionality.  Namely, the ability to convert to RAW images to DNG on the import as well as move to subfolders is not available.  This is a real bugger for me as I have a nice new Eye-Fi Pro card that I have setup to dump all images from my camera to a "watched" folder which is then imported into LR automatically.  Unfortunately, auto import doesn't solve the issue for me, so I am back to doing the same old import routine I had done before which is tethering the camera back up via USB (or popping out the card and mounting it instead) and use the regular import feature.
        I realize a lot of the design impetus for auto import is around tethered usage, where a photographer may want to see the images as fast as possible, but why would Adobe cripple the auto import functionality deliberately.  Give the auto import the same functionality as the regular import and let the customers decide which works best for their setup.  Geez!!
    ~David

    I believe I watched a tutorial that indicated that Lightroom now downloads the raw files first and then does the conversion. This speeds up the download process and enables you to go back to my room to do other work more quickly. I cannot comment on the speed of the conversion because I don't convert to DNG. But my thoughts are that 700 raw files will take some time to convert.

  • Tethered/Auto Import

    So Lightroom 2's out, but still no tethering support. What's frustrating me is that I can live without inbuilt tether support but please give me an alternative! I can use my own program to download images on demand from my camera (http://www.mountainstorm.co.uk/photography/Software/Software.html) and an "Auto Import" folder ... but it then takes forever for Lightroom to import them. Now I know its not actually the import thats the problem but the time it takes Lightroom to detect the new image. I've tried moving rather than copying the image into the dir. I've tried using a RAM disk as the auto import folder and all to no avail. I've even written a nice applescript which calls the open action the uses the UI scripting to click the dialog, change back to "All Photographs" and into develop, this is FAR quicker than auto import but the UI flickers all over the place as dialogs appear and disappear.
    Please, Please, Please give me an import SDK, or at least an applescript way of importing a new photo without effecting Lightroom. All I want is a way to have Lightroom in the develop module, with "show highlight/lowlights" enabled and then prod Lightroom to add my new file and show it as the current one in develop. I can then use left/right arrows to compare this photo with others I've just taken.
    Please help .. I've just managed to write a script which adds images directly via the DB, but I can't get Lightroom to show them without a restart so I'm obviously serious about doing this.
    Arrrggghhh

    I've just done a major update to my Lightroom Tethering plugin (v3.3 beta). It now uses my StudioTether for all camera control/error reporting and progress; this should solve the whole loosing your nameplate issue, amongst many others.
    Most notably I've actually sorted out "enhanced mode", I've even changed the name as it got bad press :) its now called "custom extensions" and is off by default. I've actually got the SDK docs from Nikon now so it actually works reliably (for me at any rate). I've also added LiveView which it turns out works at around 60fps not the dodgy 10fps NikonCaturePro gives you .... although this needs some work as it can stall after a few minutes. Its currently up on my website:
    http://www.mountainstorm.co.uk
    Please have a play and report back. So you know my things to do list is:
    * fix bugs
    * fix liveview so it doesn't stall (might be a memory leak)
    * allow recording of LiveView to file :)
    * fix PPC support (I need to swap some bytes)
    * get moderns Canons working (proving difficult as I don't have one)
    If you have a problem, give me a shout and I'll see about fixing it (assuming work and the rest of my real life doesn't get too busy again).
    Oh and after seeing Michael's video I thought "what a great idea", Im working on my own one as we speak. I didn't fancy paying for a program to record my screen so I wrote one (called DesktopRecorder) its a bit bare bones but if anyones interested its on my website :)
    Good hunting

  • Unable to determine Auto batch

    Hi Gurus,
    My user is doing STO scenario,
    He created P.O after that he done Vl10b and now he is doing delivery,
    At this point user wants batch to be determine automatically.
    I have maintained auto batch tick for the batch item category.
    I have checked the stock for that material also, But still i am unable to determine auto batch for that material.
    So please suggest me what setting need to be done to determine auto batch for this scenario.
    Thanks and Regards
    Subramanyam.N

    Hi Subramanyam,
    Please check configuration steps for automatic Batch determination in delivery,As its very difficult to tell wht might be missing so i hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
    To trigger the batch number in the delivery document automatically we need to do necessary configuration and master data maintenance.
    1.Batch management works on condition technique, menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check. Here we need to create new strategy types if necessary and access sequence if necessary, and also batch search procedure if necessary
    2.Allocate the SD batch search procedure using the menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check à Batch Search Procedure Allocation and check activation à Allocate SD search procedure/Activate check. 
    3.Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD using menu path: SPRO à Logistics General à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check à Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD. Here we have two options, 1. To activate batch determination for sales order item and 2. is to activate batch determination for delivery item, upon the requirement we can activate at both the places, But in general batch are activated only at delivery item level. 
    4.If we need shelf life expiration date for the batch we need to create a class using u201Ct code: CL01u201D, type in a name for the class and select the class type as u201C023 u2013 Batchu201D and maintain the characteristics as LOBM_VFDAT and LOBM_HSDAT (this for production).  
    5.Once the class is created go to material master under classification tab and maintain the class created.  
    6.One more important setting in the material master is to check the batch management. This need to be done before you process the material for orders. 
    7.Go to create batches for materials using t code: MSC1N or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch à Create/change/display. You can create new batches for the materials and also maintain the Shelf life expiration date (SLED) in the batch master.  
    8.so as to determine the batch automatically we need to maintain a condition record for batch search strategy type using t code: VCH1 or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch Determination à Batch Search Strategy à for sales and distribution à create/change/display. During the maintenance, maintain the class also in the condition record.  
    These steps will automatically trigger batch management during delivery processing. System will allot the batch automatically upon the availability of the stock in the batch.

  • Problem in Auto import & syndication.

    Hi All,
    I am facing an unusual problem in auto import & syndication.
    The problem is all of a sudden the import & syndication process stops
    without making any changes.
    Has anybody faced the same problem & any inputs to overcome.
    Regards,
    Pramopd

    Hi Pramod,
    The problem is all of a sudden the import & syndication process stops
    without making any changes.
    Can you explain your problem a little more in detail
    Automatic importing and syndication stops suddenly means is it that after importing or syndicating a file once it does no work again?
    If this is your problem then check for the following things:
    -  After automatic importing of a source file once .MDM places the file automatically in the archive folder.If you wish to reimport the same file it may not work again if in your import map import actio is just create.As once you have imported the fiel based on the primary key in teh matching tab the rec has alredy been imported in MDM so next time this rec will not com eunder th create import action but Update all mapped field option.So if you wish to reimport teh smae rec then change your import action acc or else jsut cahnge th primary field value in the xml and a new rec will be imported.
    - As for Syndication,if you have syndicated a file once out of mdm and the suppress unchanged records property is enabled in syndicator then the same records will not be syndicated again untill any field value for those rec change.You will have to disable taht property again if you wnat to resyndicate the same rec or else make any changes in the rec to resesnd it.
    - If your issuse is something else and is not solved by this then try checking th import and syndication services on your machin.Go to services.msc and check to see that the import and syndication server is started if not restart it.
    - Also check the config file ie mdis.ini and mdss.ini for the valid entries .The delay time for scanning a port.Also check if any exception have occured in the exception folders.
    Hope It Helped,
    Thanks & Regards

  • Auto import, how to prevent LR from jumping to new pictures

    Hi,
    I would like to use my Nikon D700 together with the WT-4 to send pictures automatically to my laptop on events.
    The pictures appear on the laptop's hard drive on a folder that is watched by LR's auto import feature.
    Then my assistant would be at the laptop printing these pictures for customers to buy.
    However, while testing this I cannot seem to disable Lightroom always jumping back to the latest imported pictures.
    This is very annoying, because my assistant has to display the pictures to the customers, so she would be showing some pictures to a customer, and suddenly when I snap a new shot, the laptop jumps to the new picture and my assistant has to go hunting for that customers pictures again...
    Is there some way to disable this?
    Or am I taking the wrong approach to this?
    I could off course disable the auto-import but in that case my assistant would have to go to the import screen every once in a while, which is also not ideal.
    Thanks for any help!

    I don't know a way to disable this.

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • After unarchive a repository, the auto import is not working

    Hi All,
    I've met a problem when I archived a repository and unarchive it using another repository name:
    I can login to it by Console, and Data manager, etc. But when I put a input file to the Ready folder of its port, the file is not processed by the Import Server. On the other hand, all the other repositories on that server remain fine and the auto-import is normal.
    Could any one tell me if there is any other Config shold be done to make the import work?
    PS: still the 5.5 version, not 7.1.

    Hi Angela,
    If you are using any password for Admin user then same needs to be mentioned in MDIS.ini file. Check the below steps
    1. Open MDIS.ini file located in <MDM Insallation directory>/Import Server
    2. Navigate to your repository section
    3. Remove the character 'E' from the entry PasswordE
    4. Write the password of Admin user i.e. Password = abc
    5. Restart the Import Server once and check the same password entry, it should get converted to PasswordE and the value should be some characters.
    6. Now check the Auto Import
