Unrequested file duplicates when importing from D700

When I start to import directly to AP from my D700 I immediately get a duplicate of every file (with (1) added to the file name) appearing in the import browser window. This happens regardless of what type of file I have shot (jpeg, RAW, etc.)
It's possible, of course, to just select the first copy of each pair to import but that's an extra (nuisance) operation. Surely there's a way to not have these duplicate versions presented in the first place. Am I missing a setting of some kind?

I had the same issue with my most recent import from my D300. It was also my first import since updating to 10.5.6 and the most recent camera raw update. I also made sure that "do not import duplicates" was selected in the Aperture import window.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Aperture Not Recognizing Duplicates When Importing From iPhone. PhotoStream is Involved.

    Apple makes great software. Aperture is not some of it.
    Here's my setup:
    '11 MacBook Air OS X Lion
    Aperture 3.2.2
    iPhone 4 ios 5.0
    1.5 TB External Drive. Aperture Masters and Library reside there, separate from each other.
    I keep my photos in a structure such as: Aperture Masters > Year > Month > Date > original_photo_name
    I'm running into trouble with Aperture not recognizing what photos are duplicates when it comes time to import photos. My workflow is that I'll import photos every so often, leaving them on the iPhone, and delete them twice a year.
    ISSUE 1 (The Annoying One):
    Aperture is showing a lot of photos that have already been imported even if I select "Don't Import Duplicates". Aperture has done this for a long time. I know that when it comes time to importing them, it doesn't import the duplicates, but this is just a sign that something doesn't work very well. (Maybe it's because I switched to an iPhone 4S and then back. I synced all my photos, and then back again to my iPhone 4, so the sequential number of the photos remained intact. I don't think that's the problem though.). This is just a minor annoyance that shows that Apple can suck at software (remember MobileMe?).
    ISSUE 2 (The serious one):
    short version: Some photos on my iPhone won't sync to my Aperture library because it thinks they've been synced through PhotoStream. They are not in my Aperture Library or in my Aperture Masters in the filesystem. How can I fix this. What bloody file do I have to delete for Aperture to stop being confused?
    longer explanation: When iOS 5 came out, I was excited by PhotoStream. I had enabled it on my MBA, through iPhoto (I hadn't installed Aperture on it yet, as I was using an iMac to manage my Aperture Library). I believe it synced a bunch of photos from my iPhone, but then I stopped using it on my mac. Left it on on my iPhone. Installed Aperture. I initially enabled PhotoStream but swiftly disabled it once I was not sure how it would deal with photos being uploaded from my mac etc - just seemed like too much magic was going on. I then proceeded to sync my iPhone, not importing duplicates, and it synced a bunch of photos, but didn't sync some of them, displaying the following message:
    Any tips on how to fix this and be able to import those images would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. - I thought that iPhoto might be causing the problem. I checked there and there were some images imported through PhotoStream, but not some of the ones which were not imported on Aperture. Putting that another way: the iPhoto library accounted for some of the images that were not imported, but not all of them. I deleted the iPhoto Library and tried reimporting with Aperture. Still no luck.

    I have precisely the same problem. Very annoying. Worked fine with iPhoto, borked with Aperture 3.

  • What causes duplicates when importing from my iPhone?

    For some time i have had many duplicates from syncing my iPhone to my iPhoto library. When importing I specifically say no to importing duplicates
    I have to use duplicate annihilator to rid dups, but appears I still have many duplicates left
    I want to clean up the library before moving photos to aperture

    that does not happen to me - try renewing the iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Photo files size when importing from camera, uploading to facebook

    When I import photos from my camera to iPhoto, then upload them to facebook, they are not the original size. This is my first mac and first time to use iPhoto so maybe that's normal. Is there a setting I need to change? How do I know if the files I have imported are being saved on my computer with their original specs? I am hesitant to clear the pics from my camera, fearing I might lose their original quality!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    As for facebook, when using my old pc the photos remained the original size after uploading. It wasn't until I used iPhoto that they began to upload in a smaller version.
    Are you referring to file size as in KB or MB or image size as in pixel dimension. As Terence pointed out I doubt if Facebook will accept a full image files at the original size. Most are in the MB range and Facebook would run out of storage space in no time.
    It might very well be that iPhoto will resize the pixel dimension of the photos to a "standard" size for uploading and Facebook then downsizes the actual file size. That means compressing the file to make a smaller file but not a smaller image.

  • Duplicates when importing from iPhoto

    When i imported pics from iphoto got a lot of duplicates  Why does this happen and how can I prevent it?

      Using both Organizer and iPhoto will create duplicates on your hard drive. You need to stick to one app for managing your photos although you can set up the Elements Editor as your external editing tool in iPhoto preferences.

  • Unable to see preview thumbnails when importing from D700

    Having read the reports of problems with the D700, RAW image quality and Aperture 2, I seem to have a different problem!
    When I go to the import page in Aperture 2.1.1 (with the D700 connected via USB), I can see no preview images - I get the dashed boxes though and when I click on one of those boxes, the data information changes with each picture (ie date/time etc). Any ideas how I might sort this out??
    On the quality side, I seem to be having no major problems - there are obviously differences between Aperture and Nikon's Transfer and View software, but nothing serious at all.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Error message "file unreadable" when importing from camera

    When I plug in my digital camera to iPhoto 6, certain pictures do not import and get error message listing the files "file unreadable or wrong format." If I turn camera off and then back on, it gives the message again but with DIFFERENT files.
    This happens recently on my iMac (never happened before). The same camera with same images plugged into my MacBook gives no problems. Both running 10.5.4.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Overly Huge Files when Importing from DVC tape to IMovie

    When importing from my Canon ZR 600 60 minutes of tape equals 16.1 Gigs
    I am looking for what I am doing wrong I have 10 hours of Disney I would like to turn into 5 dvd set not 15 dvd set. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Gregory
    About 13-14 Gb per hour miniDV tape movie is as iMovie (QT) works. When
    it is stored down to a DVD disk it will be converted into a working format for
    DVD disks and that will mean that 1 hour will take up a DVD disk in max
    quality and 2 hours in slightly less quality. iDVD doesn't care about how
    many Gb Your movie takes up in iMovie or FinalCut JUST the amount of minutes
    this includes the DVD menues that also need spaces.
    55 min movie and 5 min for menues is OK in max qual.
    115 min + 5 for slightly less.
    You also need to think about how much free space there is on Your hard disk.
    After Your 115 min movie is ready to go to iDVD there should be about 20Gb
    free space left or iDVD will run into problems.
    Yours Bengt W

  • IPhoto 6 failure to detect duplicates when importing

    When importing from camera iPhoto 6 refuses to recognize duplicate photos. I can import a roll, switch the camera off and quit iPhoto, and a few minutes later just repeat the import. iPhoto duly creates a new roll and imports the same batch of pictures all over without the expected warning dialog and using exactly the same file names.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Version of iPhoto is 6.0.5.

    hippocrene:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion. I don't import directly from the camera but when importing from a folder on the HD I do get the duplicate warning. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A damaged pref file can cause a number of seemingly unrelated problems. If that doesn't help see if importing from the desktop will do that. I prefer to upload to a folder and then import from that folder. Avoids some issues of a potential aborted upload due to battery drain, etc.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • False Duplicates when importing

    Maybe I'm being dense but I keep having hassles when importing photos in iPhoto.
    Sometimes when importing from my Konica Minolta Dynax 7D (an old but supported camera) iPhoto prompts me that a duplicate is being imported and asks if I'd like to replace it with the new image.
    The strange thing is that the image it displays is completely different to the image proposed to be imported.
    Is this an issue as simple as the files having the same name or something similar - seems a bit daft to me though if that's the only criteria being applied by iPhoto to determine duplicates!
    It does tend to happen with batches of photos rather than just single shots on a card.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Big Dug because I can't type well today and it was full of typos!

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.

  • Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

    Help!  What should I do???
    Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta.  I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names.  I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process.  Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them.  Any thoughts on an easy fix?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Thanks so much for helping me with this.
    I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
    group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem.  Now that I look at the
    import settings that were used:
    1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
    also renamed.
    2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
    Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
    changed LR4 names.
    1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
    1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
    1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
    1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
    1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
    1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
    1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
    1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
    I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
    original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
    imported yesterday and are renamed.
    Thanks again,

  • How Can I Delete Originals I Don't Care to Keep When Importing From SD Card?

    Hi All,
    Just installed LR3 thanks to Santa. Have been going thru the video tutorials as well as the Lightroom_3_Help PDF and Lightroom-GettingStarted_Lo PDF but I can't figure out how to simply delete files from the gitgo when importing from SD Card or from my HDD (files already moved to HDD but not yet culled or imported into LR3). I was hoping I could, in LIBRARY, just r/c on a file that is plainly not worth keeping and just delete it so I dont have to do it later. Seems like I could, this way, be able to concentrate more on the shots requiring editing.
    Also, need suggestions as to how I should import my files using DNG, Copy, Move, or Add. First off, I am not a working pro but am an occasional serious amateur. I'm picky and I like things to look good the first time and I like options.  The pix already on my HDD are in the PICTURES folder; those imported from SD card get moved to that PICTURES folder. I have, in the past, moved the processed verssions to a different DESTINATION folder - now I still have the originals and I have processed copies to post and share.
    I understand that LR3 does ND editing but I assume that if I only keep a DNG then any time I want a JPEG or PNG of a picture I have to open LR3 to make one. Since I only have been shooting a few hundred pix a year (though with my new D5000 this will change) I am not gonna load up my HDD any time soon. So, is there a way I can make a DNG file, keep the original RAW or JPEG file AND save a processed JPEG or PNG copy in my DESTINATION folder in one swell foop?
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil in San Diego

    The LR Exchange site has three plug-ins that allow you to keep a "mirror" copy of your DNG/RAW images in JPG format for use by others without having to go into LR and generate them when needed.  The link is:

    One of them should help you with this.
