VCF/vCard not importing correctly

This is odd. I have hundreds of vCards and most of them imported correctly into Address Book. But some are dropping many of the phone numbers. The following vCard only imports the NYC number (ending in 3350) and leaves all the others out. But the really odd thing is that if I try to import it again, Address Book shows me ALL the info in the duplicates message/action window. But if I import it, again, it only keeps the NYC number. Entourage imports it correctly, as does the Palm Desktop on my PC.

Well, that completely stinks! I guess I could do the import in Leopard (10.5, I have a laptop still running that) and then just move the address book files to my 10.6 machine? Anyone know how to do that?
yes, that's possible. import in leopard, quit address book and Mail on both computers and copy the entire folder /users/username/library/application support/address book from the 10.5 computer to the corresponding location on the 10.6 one. start address book there and it will have the same content as the one on the 10.5 machine.
Thanks for the info. I wish I knew this a few weeks ago when I did the migration. What a pain it will be fixing this!

PDF's not importing correctly

I am using CS5 on iMac 27" quad.
I am trying to import a PDF into Photoshop.
But it is not importing correctly.
The PDF is a label template, which prints perfectly from the PDF.
But when I import it into Photoshop, the dimensions change.
So the text boxes for the labels don't align up correctly to the label sheet.
The top label is OK, but the boxes keep moving to the right, so that top label in column 5 is a 1/4" off to the right. The labels seem to be "traveling."
Vertically, the same thing is happening.
Row #1 is OK
but by the end of the page, Row #5 is 3/8" off the page.
I have disabled all printing options: no auto-center; no fit to page; no scaling.
The printer software should not be adapting the document at all.

Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thank you.

Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

.m4a Not Importing Correctly

For some reason when I import some .m4a files, they do not appear in my libary. Some albums will import while others will not. files with .mp3 import correctly, this is only a problem with .m4a files
Any ideas? Most of my music is stored as .m4a
Thanks

iTunes does not automatically encode/transcode files that you add to your library. The importing settings that you mention only apply to CDs that you rip & encode and other audio files that you want to manually convert to those specifications.

Theme and Template not importing correctly

I have exported the theme and template file. At the import site the template and theme did not install correctly.
I can see that it is using the same theme as the source environment, but it will not appear.
Any ideas?

You've got two issues going on.
One- never put anything besides the .dwt template files in
the Templates
folder.
Also- the paths need to work IN the template.
The images aren't showing here:
http://www.und.edu/dept/art/Templates/MAIN.dwt
So dw is making wrong paths to them in the child pages.
Use the "browse to file" dialog box to pick the images.
And if any of them are in the Templates folder, use the Dw
files panel to
move them.
Second issue:
Your dw "site" is defined to a subfolder of the domain,
/dept/art/ as far as
i can guess. But you've used site root relative paths in the
Template. Site
root relative paths start with a leading /slash. It tells the
browser to
start from the domain name's root level.
Only use Document Relative paths if the site is defined to a
subfolder of a
domain. (look for the pulldown in the bottom of the browse to
file dialog
box)

IPhoto does not import correct pictures

Using either my Canon camera or IPhone 6 plus, when I try to import new photos to my MacBook Pro, everything in the process works fine, the selected pics appear to be importing correctly and show up on the import screen. But when the import is finished and I am prompted to keep or delete photos from the camera or the IPhone, after I select one or the other, a set of the same number of pics show up on the Last Import screen but they are a completely different set of pics from what I imported; they appear to be randomly selected from my library of past photos. And, the pics I actually imported are no where to be found in my photo library. And, when I click on Last Import from the tab list, all I get are these random set of old pics. Frustrated! Any ideas?.....thnx.....Lew

Not sure how to rebuild IPhoto once I've done the alt key and command key re-launch of IPhoto....
Did you hold down the alt key and command key together long enough? Hold the keys down, until you see the First Aid Panel.
Only then let go of the keys and click "Rebuild Thumbnails", and if necessary the other options Larry recommended.

FW HTML not importing correctly into DW

Hello,
I have made a navbar in FW and exported it following some tutorials I've watched. I have imported it into some of the pages on my site in DW and the import works fine. However, on a number of other pages, I insert my cursor in the "topnav" div and when I import it, the table goes straight to the top of the code and when I refresh the CSS, all my styles from before disappear and becomes a blank white page. I think it may have something to do with my stylesheet because the other pages that it does work properly on is a different stylesheet, but I cannot figure out where the issue is.
I have attached code below. The first section is what it looks like when I try to import the navbar into the topnav div. The second section is the code for the stylesheet that goes along with it. And third, is the CSS code for the one that works correctly.
I appreciate any help given. Thanks!

With this problem, it would be better to give us a link to an online web page. It's easier to spot the problem than to wade through a lot of code and you would have better success in getting others in the forum to help.
One problem that sticks out is that you imported the code generated by FW into the head section of your document. It should be in the body section. That problem should be obvious to you if you know a little about markup and can recognize javascript. I mention this because if you don't know what you're doing, then importing FW images and code into DW can be very confusing. It might be easier for you to work on the Dreamweaver side and find a good tutorial about building a menu in DW. Most web designers will tell you that it's not a good idea to use code generated by Fireworks although it can work.
Let me make two points. First, if some of your pages are working okay (you said the import worked for some pages), then use a page that is working to override a page that is not working by doing a Save As and then do a little editing if necessary.
Second, if your styles are not working in your page, you probably have a link problem. In the markup you provided, I don't see a link to your css stylesheet on your web page. But, again, if you do a Save As using a page that works, this problem should be solved by acting on the advice of the first point.

AVI video not importing correctly

My codecs just got messed up today when I was trying something out and so I had to download new ones. When I try to import .avi files now, the footage, during certain times, has some issues. (It's hard to describe) I wouldn't just say it's pixelated, but large pixels are distorted showing other colors, in the shape of some objects in the video. It does this every few seconds. The video is compressed, too. Even after I render the movie, it still does this. The playback speed is normal, it's just these pixels that keep destroying the footag. It's almost as if the program is not conforming the video correctly when I am importing it, and it's corrupting the video. What do I need to do to fix this? Additional codec(s)? I used to be able to import .avi movies with no problem. This is really bugging me. Thanks!

If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

Photos not importing correctly to iPhoto library

I just realized that any photos I have been importing to the iPhoto library from somewhere on my hard drive rather than from an external device/camera have NOT actually been imported into the library, rather are still linked to the original file. This means that iPhoto can't always find the correct pathway to the correct file -- and it has backfired on me big time in that I ordered a $50 book and one of the images was wrong. Right thumbnail, but wrong actual photo, because the link had been lost. Beyond the aggravation that my book is now messed up and I apparently can't do anything about it since it's been more than 90 minutes, I want to fix this so that my iPhoto library is accurate and it doesn't happen again. I have been going to File - Import to Library, but it doesn't. It just links to the original file, which then can't be found once I reopen the program after quitting. Any advice? This only started happening since upgrading to '09, by the way.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

AVCHD 24P Cinema mode not importing correctly

Hey,
I have posted a few times about this issue, and each time I get a little closer to solving the problem. I am hoping this is the final time.
I have a Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD9 Hi Def video camera. I recorded a comedy show of mine the other night, and when I try to import the footage into FCP, the audio and video don't sync.
After many troubleshooting experiments, I figured out that the audio is importing at the correct rate, but the video is not.
The video was shot in "24p Cinema Mode" I shot some "bs" footage both with this mode on and this mode off. Whenever it was on the footage would be imported at 24fps and the audio would get out of sync. Whenever this mode was OFF, the footage would import at 29.98 fps and everything will be fine.
I really feel I am just missing something simple like a drop down menu option or something, but just can't figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.

To be very clear, for this 7.1 release, we are only supporting CinemaDNG media from the Blackmagic Camera. No other format is being supported at this time. The pink overlay problem with DNG derived from Canon RAW media is a known issue.
We are currently in discussions of how to expand our CinemaDNG support going forward, and user input is a vital factor. Nonetheless, Premiere support for the CinemaDNG format is different from the support in other Adobe applications. For more on this, see the section "Enhanced BlackMagic Cinema Camera support" at this link:

Date video was created is not importing correctly

I have a large library of iMovie HD video files that I am wanting to consolidate into iMovie 7.1.4 using File:Import iMovie HD Project...from the menu bar of iMovie. When the clips from each file are imported, the time codes show that each clip was created on the date that the clip was originally imported from my video camera into iMovie HD, not the date the clip was actually captured on the camera. When I look at the original iMovie HD file, it shows the correct date and time for each clip, so I know that the information is in the file somewhere. How do I get the new iMovie to register the correct capture date and not the imported date?

How do I get the new iMovie to register the correct capture date and not the imported date?
Use the "A Better Finder Attributes" (or similar) utility to change the "File Creation Date" to any DTG (Date-Time Group) you want.)

AVCHD Audio not importing correctly to Premiere

Hey folks,
I have some interviews in AVCHD files that I am editing for work. I correctly preserved the AVCHD file structure, and when I playback the interview in Quicktime, there is no issue with the audio. However, when imported into Premiere Pro, the final ~6 min of the interview has bugged audio which just repeats one sample over and over again. Image attached
I have tried transcoding the clip to DNxHD but that did not solve the audio issue. I believe the problem lies with the Premiere software, or the file. But again, the audio playback in Quicktime is correct. Any help?

This could be a cache problem ... first, you might try deleting the cache files and see if that fixes it ...

IPhoto not imported correctly?

I purchased and installed Aperture the other day. I then opened it, but decided to close it immediately, and import my iPhoto library the next day.
The following day I got ready to import my iPhoto library. According to page 174 of the pdf manual, there are several options, such as storing imported master location, import as referenced images, a 'move files' or 'copy files' button, and several others. However during the import, I was given none of these options. I selected File - Import - Library, chose my iPhoto library, and immediately a "merging libraries" message was displayed. After about 15 minutes the message disappeared, and all my iPhoto events now appear to be in individual projects, faces and places are OK, and all seems to be well. Oddly, I noticed that in the manual, the command is given as just 'File - Import - iPhoto library', which I cannot see.
Has the import gone correctly? If so, why did I not received the various import options mentioned in the manual?
The original iPhoto library appears to be intact, and I now have an Aperture Library in my Pictures folder.
Would appreciate any help.
Steve

Don't worry, Steve. You imported your iPhoto library correctly.
What you have read in the manual, is how the iPhoto library was imported in the earlier Aperture versions, before the unified Aperture-iPhoto library had been introduced with Aperture 3.3.
Merging libraries by importing is described in this document: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
You also could have simply opened your iPhoto library in Aperture and used it directly as your photo library, without importing it. Both Aperture and iPhoto can use each others libraries like their own, see:
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

IPhoto '09 not importing correct time on photos

I am using a Canon PowerShot S95. I've check the time in the camera and the time on my computer. When importing pictures from the camera to iPhoto, iPhoto does not use the time my picture was actually taken. I looked at the extended info to check the original time and the digitalized time. These times match but are incorrect as to the when I actually took the picture. This throws off the date. The digitalized time and original time will show 3:13:11 am. It is way off. I don't take pictures at 3am! So the problem of sorting picture with keywords and using the date separates the pictures incorrectly. I was sorting using keywords Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. Pictures taken the same day were separated to different events. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone help me.

iPhoto gets the time and date from the Exif metadata of the photograph. This is written by the camera. You may not have taken the photo at 3 am, but the camera thinks it was 3 am when the shot was taken.
You can correct the date and time using the Photos ->Adjust Date and Time command

Sony TRV-350 8mm will not import correctly into iMovie 8.0.4 (Any ideas?)

I purchased a Sony TRV-350 because it is supposed to play all 8mm tapes, and has a bridge function that converts analog signal to DV. The camcorder also has inputs to connect a VCR to the camcorder and convert the signal to DV. I am trying to import hundreds of VHS and 8mm tapes to iMovie. I connect the camcorder via firewire to the computer. The computer recognizes the camcorder and has control of the camcorder. When I try to import the video everything seems fine. I can import a five second clip or twenty min. clip. The problem starts after you click "Done" on the importing screen. The importing screen closes, and the clip appears in iMovie. The problem is when viewing the clip in iMovie it is only half the length of the import. (I import a 10 min clip, only 5 min shows in iMovie) It seems like every other second is missing. So far I have tried these trouble shooting tips.
1. Made sure the camera DV feature is turned on
2. Made sure the camera is set to ilink
3. The camera is set to NTSC with 30 FPS
4. Opened played a note and close Garageband
Someone suggested I should try find a copy of iMovieHD (6.0.3) and try importing the videos. If you think this will work let me know.
Any suggestions, idea or help would be greatly appreciated. I am a new mac user, so please give detailed instructions.
Thanks for your time.
Tyrel

I believe the new 8 core mac pro only has firewire 800 connecters. So you would need a converter cable to connect your camera. Is that how you system is setup? If so, what kind of converter are you using? That could be the cause of your problem. A blue screen usually means you have some sort of connection issue.
