Unable to import into PSE 7 Organizer

I've got PSE 7 on a Windows XP- "Fusion" partioned drive running on a Mac OS 10.5. The editor of PSE 7 will open these images from a shared file, but the organizer will not import them from that same shared file. I’ve tried to import into organizers of versions 5 and 6 with no problem. Is there a solution  or workaround for this problem? ps The organizer will import if I copy the files from Mac into XP, but I don't have the space on the Windows partition for 70G + of images.

A couple of others have reported issues running PSE on a Mac virtual machine.  It appears there may be incompatibilities somewhere between Mac, the WIndows virtual machine, and PSE.  See this thread in particular:

(Unfortunately, I'm not able to find it in the new forums -- the indexing of archived messages doesn't appear to work very well.)
This person seemed to have a similar issue: PSE on a Mac virtual machine can't access a native Mac volume.  HIs solution was to export the Mac volume as a network drive (using SMB) and then access it from the Windows virtual machine.   Maybe that approach would work for you.  (Ignore all the stuff about converting his database.)

  • Unable to import scanned files in Organizer mode

    When I scan a new photo (default destination is c:\\My Documents\My Pictures) the photo is scanned, but I get message: "Nothing was
    imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types or the files are already in this catalog."
    This happens with new photos being scanned for the first time. I have tried several different destination folders. The scan is not placed
    in my Organizer and the files are not in my catalog. This did not happen when I first installed PE7, but it has occurred every
    time in the last few days. Can import scan in Editor mode, but not in Organizer mode. Tried renaming preferences files as recommended by Adobe support, then uninstalled and reinstalled program. Did not work. Tried editing the registry but could not find values indicated by Adobe support. Would appreciate any ideas on this. Thanx.

    I have an Epson 3490 and I was able to scan in Editor mode. However, I think I may have solved the problem. I had Paint Shop Pro installed on my computer and it may have caused a problem - perhaps the scans were being sent to that program. I uninstalled Paint Shop Pro yesterday and was able to scan directly into the PE7 Organizer. I am still testing this and if it continues to work properly, then I have to assume PSP was a conflict and I have fixed it. Will update forum after I have a chance to do further scanning. Thanks.

  • Can i import raw files into pse 13 organizer

    it looks like it cannot be done?

    Then something must be wrong in the installation of the Organizer.
    Which is your OS?
    Do you import from card reader/camera or from files and folders?
    What happens when you try, do you get a message?

  • XDCAM SD PDW530p MXF files unable to import into Premiere CS4

    Hey guys,
    New to the XDCAM world...I'm trying to load in the mxf files using the import function but I get an error 'Codec missing or unavailable'. Can anyone shed some light on this? While i'm here the footage is shot in 720 x 576 @ 50MB...what project option should i select?
    Cheers.

    I am indeed referring to our PDW530p camera which is a disc-based (PDF23a Sony, bluray-like, discs) camera that saves every shot in a MXF file, no matter what format is used. I probably made it more confusing then necessary. Basically you can shoot to DVCAM and that is a format Premiere can natively import. IMX50, which is XDCAM as far as I am told, can not be imported by premiere natively.
    @colin: we tried this "trick" (I am now in doubt if we renamed to .avi or to .mpg, it was a while back) on a machine that has a RT.X2 which does not support IMX50 and we NEEDED to be able to either convert or edit the clips. We have two systems here, one with the Axio and one with the RT.X2 (I know, I know :( ). We eventually ended up going to the Axio system, imported the footage in CS3, converted it to something premiere natively does support, transported that over the network to the other machine and loaded it in.
    But we WERE able to get the clips in premiere on the RT.X2 system by renaming the clips. We just did not trust it. Feel free to try it if you wish. :)
    On the Axio machine you can indeed playback IMX50 recored clips/footage in any program thanks to the hardware, drivers and codecs (it is a joined accomplishment *cough*) Matrox provides for their boards.

  • Import 6000 photos into Elements 11 organizer

    I have a file with numerous subfiles that I want to mass import into Elements 11 organizer.  How do I do it?  I can see how to import photos within the files, but that would take forever to highlight all photos and import.  There must be a better way.

    To get all photos in a folder with all its subfolders, simply use the menu 'Get photos and videos', 'from files or folders'. In the dialog which opens, check 'include subfolders' and 'Copy files at import'.

  • PSE 10 organizer changing date times of photos

    I have been having an issue since PSE9 which continues into PSE 10 organizer. After scaning photos and saving into organizer it will not allow assingment of jsut a year or a year month. If I take an old family photo and change date (scanned date) to year 1930 with unknown month it appears to take. Nect I time go into organizer it has changed the date to 12/31/1929. When I assign year and month with no date it will assing a day. PSE 10 also changes time of raw photos, keeps correct year, month, and day but changes time to the time file imported. If I correct the time it appears to take but it reverts back. This has become a major issue as I have over 16K of pictures and have scanned in thousands of old family photos, reasearching dates to use, it is extremetly frustarating to have a program that changes these settings.

    Windows 7 pro, if that matters.

  • Trouble "getting" photos in PSE 8 Organizer

    I'm trying to bring photos into PSE 8 Organizer. I've used PSE 5 and 6 with no problem. Now I've upgraded my computer to a new, 64-bit Windows 7 computer (Dell Inspiron), and a new PSE 8. I've imported my PSE 6 catalog with, apparently, no trouble.
    Now when I try to get new files, I can't select them in the "Get Photos and Videos" window. I can see the files I want, but when I try to click to select them, they either won't select at all, or they select the folder above or below the one I want, or they select a different folder and show a duplicate of the same folder, or the folder I want disappears.
    It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen!
    Any ideas what's happening???

    Hmm, haven't heard of those symptoms before.
    As a workaround, try dragging individual files, selections of multiple files, or entire folders into the Organizer.  Does importing them that way work?

  • PSE 9 Organizer Unable to Import from iPhoto '11

    When I try to import pictures from iPhoto '11 using the PSE 9 Organizer, I get the following message:
    There is no media to import from iPhoto
    I wonder if Adobe has not yet caught up with iPhoto '11 that came with recently introduced iLife '11. The iPhoto '09 catalog was converted in some way when I ran iPhoto '11 for the first time.
    Anyone else having this problem or come up with a solution?

      If you go to export in IPhoto 11, IPhoto 11 is not listed  in applications while IPhoto 9 is listed but there is no way to export photos using this or items associated with it.
    Don't understand this, or did you mean in the options for External Editor rather than Export? If so, there should be Other at the bottom of the window. Navigate to the actual PSE 9 editor application, which is the first of the two files in the PSE 9 folder that has a blue square for an icon. You want the square without the version number in the file name, and without the little curved black alias arrow on it.
    If you mean you want to put the photos into the Organizer, you select the photos you want to export, go to File> Export, then put the exported photos where you want and use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders in the Organizer.

  • Unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer

    unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer ..I see them in Iphoto not organizer..Please help

    On import, iPhoto copies photos into its library, which is proprietary to itself and should never be poked and prodded from outside iphoto or you run a strong risk of corrupting the library and losing your photos. So you eventually need to choose between iphoto and organizer.
    If you want to use iphoto, then you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto to PSE, edit them, then save without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the pse preferences>saving files>on first save), and iphoto will remember your last edits and the orginal. However, you must to lose the edited version to use the original again, and this method doesn't work well with raw files.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, user File>Open in the editor,  edit the photos, make all the changes to name and format that you like, save the photos and import them back to iphoto as new files.
    Or if you decide you prefer organizer, set the this iphoto preference to No Application and you can call up the photo downloader from within organizer, or just drag the photo with the images in it from the card to wherever you want to keept them:
    and of course you don't need to user either iphoto or organizer unless you want.

  • Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

    I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
    Any ideas??!! Thanks.

    .. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
    lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
    .. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
    dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
    iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
    my 5€ cents ..

  • Can import photos into PSE 12 running on Win 8.1 from a Samsung Galaxy S4, but no videos recognized.

    I have about 100 photos and 10 videos on my S4 and I know they're valid because they all display/play back just fine on the device.  But Photoshop Elements 12 only recognizes the image files, none of the videos.  It tells me there are no valid videos on the device.  I'm attempting to import media with the S4 set up as a camera (this is a configuration option Samsung gives you when connecting the phone to a PC via USB).
    Update: If I set the device up as a media device, I can use Windows Explorer to copy the video files to my PC.  PSE then sees them in the watched folder, imports them, and they work fine.  So the issue seems to be in recognizing and importing the videos when the S4 is configured as a camera (the normal way of importing photos and images into PSE).

    You must have Premier Elements that recognizes Videos.  Premier Elements is sometimes sold in tandem with Photoshop Elements so that both can operate seamlessly.
    Amazon has got special price for buying both packages together.  I believe it is a difference of about $20, i.e. you pay 20 bucks more if you buy both products.

  • Unable to Import objects into ID

    Hi All,
            For your support I have completed the development work and I have moved to Quality from Development. But while trying to import the one scenario in to Quality System from Development in XI, I am getting the following Error:-
    Internal error: Unable to transfer changes for object Service | Q14CLNT120 to change list "XI 3.0 Import" (9a590f30-7245-11dc-9266-00306ee97ef1) since object still in change list "XI 3.0 Import" (3ae5e660-701d-11dc-942e-00306ee97ef1)
    I have somehow managed to import another scenario last week into Quality, although now I am unable to import. But while trying to activate the imported scenario into Quality System I am getting another Error as below:-

    Have you checked the GUID in SLD in both the systems?
    <b>SLD-->Software Components, to check the GUID.</b>
    You can do one thing, first of delete imported objects which are not getting activated from QA, also delete the SWCV from Integration Repository.
    <b>Note:</b> Before deleting SWCV, make sure any other working objects are not there in the same SWCV. 
    Now, if <b>SWCV & GUID</b> in both systems are <b>same</b> then again:
    1. Export the objects from Dev (.tpz file)
    2. Imort the same .tpz file to QA system.
    Now go to Repository of QA and
    1. <b>Tools --> Import Design Objects</b>
    2. <b>Tools --> Transfer from system landscape Directory --> Update Application Components.</b>
    Select your components and press Finish button.
    And finally try to Acitvate your objects.

  • What is the best way to import photos from iPhoto 9 into PSE 11?

    I just installed PSE 11 and I would like to move the pictures from my iPhoto 9 Library in to PSE 11.
    What is the best way to accomplish this as far as accuracy of data?
    Thank you!
    Len

    There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
    If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
    Just a couple of things to know:
    1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
    2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
    Hope that helps!

  • Files unable to be imported into iPhoto 5

    Using Migration Assistant I transferred all my files from an older Mac to a new Power Mac G5 running 10.4.2. I am unable to import or drag and drop any picture files into iPhoto. When I try, I get the message "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)" Pictures in folders on my desktop will open in Preview but will not import to iPhoto. I get this same mesage when I choose Add to Library from the iPhoto Edit menu and try to import photo's from my Pictures folder.
    This problem has appeared twice before in these discussion pages: on 2/6/06 from El Pinguino and on 3/1/06 from Homebushboy. I did not see a solution to either of these postings.

    bummer! Let's see if you can do a rebuild:
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • Import iphoto into elements 11 organizer

    i,m about to import photos from iphoto into elements 11 organizer. there is an option to have organizer convert events from iphoto into albums, is there an advantage to doing this, if i don't choose that option will it make adifference.

    Albums in Elements are ways to give a name to a group of pictures and saving the order in which the pictures are stored. It's easy to find a given group by its name (like a keyword) while keeping their sort order. I don't know anything about iphoto, but I think it would be a pity to lose such useful information.
    The main differences between albums and keywords is that keywords (tags) can be saved in the file themselves whereas the albums are only saved in the database (catalog). The second difference is that albums enable sorting the pictures.
