Version 3.4 will not import earlier Libraries-HELP!

I've just upgraded Aperture to 3.4.1 and now I cannot open the 3.3.2 Library, I get this message:
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/PHOTO BU/Aperture Folder/** US iMac Aperture Library 2?.aplibrary”.
The library could not be opened because the file system of the library’s volume is unsupported.
So my whole Library is not accessible now.
Can anyone tell me how I can work around this, or does anyone know where I can get a copy of 3.3.2 and re-open the Library, export the images then re-import them into 3.4?
Thanks!

Peter,
check the file system on your external disk.
Aperture has always required the Aperture library to be on a disk formatted MacOS X extended, but previous Aperture versions did not check this, see Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
If the drive still has the default formatting, maybe MS-DOS (FAT), then you need to move the Aperture library temporary to another volume and to reformat the drive with Disk Utility before you can use it with Aperture.

Léonie

My .MOV files will not import!! HELP!

I have a Nikon D3100, and have taken a few videos. I am trying to import them into iMovie '11, but it won't work. They are .MOV Quicktime movies, and I cannot figure out why it isn't importing. I thought these types of videos worked. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Have you tried putting your SDHC card in a card reader?
Then in iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT MOVIES/ and navigate to your card reader.
If it offers to Optimize Media, say yes and choose Full.

Aperture 3.2 will not import any older libraries.

Aperture 3.2 will not import any older libraries. Is there any way to get around this. I have 20 plus computers (students) running the older version and have upgraded mine just to see how good Lion is. Unfortunately, mine is where we gather all of the projects from the other computers so now we are stuck.
TIA

This does work but adds another step to the process.
Back in version 1 or 2 (before the "Add or Merge" dialog box) adding librarys was much easier. I could grab multiple libraries and drop them on Aperture and then leave for awhile and let them get imported. Now I can only do it one at a time because the dialog box often appears and delays everything. Is there anyway to default Aperture to ALWAYS ADD?

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

Do you mean that the automatic import dialogue box does not appear?
Or something else?

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

Iphoto will not import photos

iphoto 11 will see the pictures from digital media but will not import to mac. Any suggestions on a fix?

That was a test. It means you're old library needs to be repaired.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

HT3290 Video will not import after updating my iMovie from '09 to '11

I updated my imovie '09 to '11 and now my video files from my camcorder JVC (model GZ_MG330HU) will not import. The video files show up in my iMovie library but when I try to create a project or movie and then share what I have created the files are listed as still on my camera and it says that I need to reimport. It says to go the File Menu and click "Reimport from camera archive" but there is no such option.
I used to import my files with my old iMovie version and create mini home videos but now even those video files are not listed. I would like to reload the old version. How can I do that? Will iMovie '11 get fixed?
Help!

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

Hi,
I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc. My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added. I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos. I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import. I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site. It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this. I try and it worked. As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size. How can this be acheive ?
Thanks for your help

Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.

You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.

.mov will not import

File, Import movies only allows some .mov file to be imported. I, of course, have some that will not import (they are grayed out).
How can I get them to a format that will be read by iMovie? If I buy the pro Quicktime, will it let me open them, save as to a more modern .mov file that imovie will read?
These .mov files are old, I am not sure how old.
Isn't .mov an apple format? I am surprised iMovies doesn't handle them better.
Thanks
bob

Sorry to but in on a problem solving situation, but my daughter is having the exact same problem. She was given six videos that were taken with a digital camera, I converted them to .mov files with my version of Quicktime and imovie still will not recognize them. I opened movie inspector and it states that its format is MPEG1 Muxed 480 x 240 pixels
fps 25
playing fps (Available while playing)
data size 3,74 MB
date rate 2901.60 kbits/s
The movies are grayed out when trying to import them
I'd appreciate your help as my daughter needs to get the movie project finish for school within a few days. Thanks.

PE11 will not import raw-file (.CR2) from Sony SX50.

PE11 with camera raw 7.2 will not import .CR2 from Sony SX50.
(Camera not supported...)
Sony sx50 is on the list of supported cameras and .CR2 on the list of supported files!

Hi,
ACR 7.3 should aplly to PSE 11 - it is on mine.
If you load the editor, go to the Help menu and see what it displays for About Plug-in -> Camera RAW - see which version is loaded.
There should be an updates option too, towards the bottom of the list - I'm on a PC so it may be different if you are on a MAC

Adobe LR3 will not import image files. Running on Mac OS 10.6.4

When I try to import images into LR3 I get the errors show on attached screenshots. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem and I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well.
I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)". They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter. I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either). I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then. The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
Any suggestions?
Update: I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error. I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
Update #2: I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images. Lightroom 2 imports just fine. This is becoming infuriating.
Anyone have any suggestions yet?
