Wanna cry - can only import to Projects?

Argh. Is it a fact that whenever I go to import photos saved on my drive, it'll ALWAYS create a new project for each import? I've been playing and hitting the manual but it seems like that is the case...
That is pretty infuriating. I've got a massive amount of photos, art pieces, etc, that I just want to exist in the Library - not create a Project for each one. I'm going to end up with 100+ Projects! I just want them to exist in the Library so that I can manually add them to Albums later on when I catalog all of it...
(plus I feel the concept of a Project is flawed - when you delete a Project it deletes the photos, which is not the case with Albums. I think it goes against the whole non-destructive concept that the app is built on. Albums are just links to photos, but Projects are like mini-Libraries? Seems totally illogical.)
Is there any way to JUST get my imported photos dumped into the Library?

Justin - when you import you can point the import pane towards existing projects - in fact it will default to pointing at the last project you imported into.
Projects are the minimum size block that you can export to other computers and still keep the albums.

Can i import a project from final cut express

just bought fcp (couldnt wait for X)...can I import my projects or captured video from FCE ?
thanks

As far as I know you can just open your FCE projects from within FCP. Only once saved, it cannot be opened with FCE any more.
Why not duplicate a FCE project and try to open it with FCP?

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

Can i import Jdeveloper project into Eclipse 4.7 juno????please help me.

can i import Jdeveloper project into Eclipse 4.7 juno????please help me.
when i tried this it is giving some errors in project ie mismatching in configurations....!so i want soln please .

Hi,
first recommendation is to not use Eclipse natively but use OEPE that ships with Eclispse Juno. This way you have the IDE prepared for ADF projects. However, still the JDeveloper workspace structure does not fit the Eclipse structure.

I can only import emails from outlook express to TB for one identity. How do I import emails for my other account identities?

I'm using a portable version of Thunderbird because I want to use TB to collect emails for a few different accounts that I have scattered on different machines.
For example I have [email protected] on machine one and machine two. [email protected] is also on machines one and two.
After setting up accounts one and two in the portable app I can only import the messages for account one. I have tried many times over the last two days. Thunderbird does not want to import the messages for account two.
What do I need to do to import emails for multiple accounts into Thunderbird?

Does [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Outlook_Express#Importing_more_than_one_Outlook_Express_identity this method] for identities apply to your setup?
Keep in mind also that OE messages are eml files that can be dragged directly from Explorer to a TB folder, e.g. one created under Local Folders.

Save a pdf with security so vendors can only import & print but not extract?

We submit ads to newspapers all the time in pdf format...the newspaper imports the pdfs into their page layout program (Quark) for printing...currently we do not put any security on the pdfs because the vendors can not import the pdf into their page layout program Quark with security on.
Is there a way we can set security so the only thing the newspaper can do is import the pdf into Quark (or a page layout program) and print?
We would like to restrict the use of exporting artwork and copy from the pdf as well as saving the pdf as different formats.

Can't import Flex project

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I am using FlexBuilder 3. I am unable to import my project from one laptop to another. The old laptop had CF8 and the new has CF9 so I’m not sure if this is the problem. When I try to import an archive I exported from the CF8 laptop, I get the prompt to update the path variables. It accepts the path to ColdFusion9 but will not accept the web root. I have tried C:\inetpub\wwwroot but it gives error message saying ‘the selected web root folder does not exist’. I also tried C:\inetpub and C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot.
I’m stumped at this point and desperate to get this imported. I have been having a nightmare trying to migrate this application from CF8, Windows Server 2003, IIS 6 to CF9, Windows Server 2008, IIS7.5. We are also using SSL so from what I’ve read I will have to recompile all these swfs with some changed XML config files. But of course, the first step is getting the app into FlexBuilder.

Thanks for the reply drkstr_1. I've got IIS working (I think) since the CF app comes up fine and I can surf about. It's the flex grids I have that won't work. I get: "Destination 'ColdFusion' not accessible over channel 'my-cfamf-secure'". Actually, the flex grids DO work with http, but they don't work using https. I had found information to add secure channel info to the remoting-config.xml and services-config.xml files. Once those channels are added, I need to recompile the swfs. But first is to get the project into this new laptop FlexBuilder. I'm using C:\inetpub\wwwroot for my websites. And here is what I'm trying to follow for the recompiling and reconfiguring: http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/

I can only import photos in groups of three

This is a new development, perhaps since the last iPhoto update? Anyway, let's say I have 15 photos to import, Pentax K-50, iPhoto freezes after three are imported. The only way out seems to be to turn off camera or unplug it then repeat the process every THREE pictures. I've reformatted the card in the camera and perhaps it worked once but the problem is back.

There is something wrong with your set-up.
iPhoto can import much more photos in one session.
Tell us more about your system:
How much free disk space do you have?
Where is your iPhoto library located?
What is your iPhoto version? Your MacOS X version?
Did iPhoto have any crashes lately?
Try this as a test: Create a new iPhoto library by launching iPhoto with the alt/option key held down and select to create a new iPhoto library. Can you import into a new library without problems?

Can't Import HTMLHelp Project using Robohelp HTML RH8

We have an HTMLHelp project that contains over 1000 HTML pages that are grouped into subfolders under the main project folder. Currently, we use the HTML Workshop to create/maintain the project files and generate the master chm. The master chm also includes baby chms that are generated using DocX or a home-grown program. Going forward, we want to start using a Help authoring tool . We downloaded a trial version of RH8. We clicked the Import option to import the project and received the following error: "The parameter is incorrect". I checked the forum and saw that other people also received this error message but for different reasons. Can you help us move forward so that we can evaluate RH8? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry, your post fell into the "mm, take a look at the weekend" category.
I've not seen the problem you report in connection with importing a project but it's not a RoboHelp project you are importing but you are using that option.
You have CHMs so try Reverse Engineering them. See that topic on my site. Try Method 2 first.
There is also a topic on Merging Help and the RH8 version includes merging CHMs.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Can Only Import 4 Songs At A Time!!???

i can't select all the songs from an album and import them like i used to on my old version of iTunes..this new one only allows me 4 at a time...anyone else having this problem?

hmmmm. perhaps also check to see if you can get a full import if you switch off error correction, as per the following document:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
(that's an old graphic for iTunes 4.x in that document ... you'll find your error correction control in your "Advanced-Importing" preferences subtab.)

Can only import one song at a time from a CD, then get conversion error.

I have been using iTunes for several years to import tracks from CDs. Until now I have not really experienced any problems - though I have not had need to do so for some time. I have just tried importing a few new CDs and am experiencing the following problem.
a) First track is imported OK.
b) iTunes gets about half way through the second track and then errors with this message:
"Error occurred while converting file "<track_name>". An unknown error occurred (-1303)."
...followed by:
"The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (13010)."
Note:
1. The first track is saved in the media folder OK.
2. The library file (iTunes Library.xml) is being still being updated with the new track each time.
3. I can resume importing the CD with the track that has just failed and it will import OK, but the next track will fail as above.
4. The same issue occurs regardless of the the format to which I am converting (I've tried both mp3 and AAC so far).
I am using the latest available version of iTunes for Windows (11.1.3.8).
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
I have checked the web for similar instancves of this problem but without success.
Any ideas??
Geoff

i also have the same problem.. it's so annoying!
i haven't yet found out why this is happening.. but i have found a way to start adding lots of songs at one time..
in my case, i am adding from my music folders in my C drive.. so i open the folder using 'my computer' and select all the music i want by holding the Ctrl key.. then i make the music folder window smaller and then put my itunes page back up.
while the music folder window is showing on top of the itunes window page, i press control again and click on one of the highlighted songs (which then picks up all the others i have highlighted) and drag them on top of the word LIBRARY (not MUSIC) until it lights up, this then adds my big group of songs to my library in itunes, then i just right click on my ipod section and press sync.
i have a new ipod 30gb and am using the new itunes 7
i never had this problem with my old ipod mini or the itunes version that came with that
hope this helps

How can I import iphoto projects (books) into Iphoto?

My un-backupped Mac crashed, and I had the files recreated professionally. Now I want to import my books back into iPhoto, but either I am trying with the wrong files, or I am doing it wrong. Anyway I cannot import the "project.db" files, which the Mac tries to open i Word by default!
Any ideas how to do it?

Simply putting files in to specific places is enough to recreate the Library. An iPhoto Library is not just a gathering of files but a complex ecosystem of interlinked files, caches and database files. It's more than the sum of its parts, and those parts are not always what you think. For instance, those project.db files have nothing to do with books

Can I import a project from laptop which has same file names as existing

Im about to import a project from Aperture on my on-road laptop to my main Aperture library on my studio Mac when i realised that the new camera i purchased for the road trip has named the files exactly the same as some files (but different pictures) which already exist in my studio Mac. Even though they exist in different projects, what will happen if i import the new project into my main Aperture Library?

Hi Sunspeaks;
I just had a similar problem. Since I had my MBP on the trip, we were downloading our photos to Aperture there in projects. When I returned home I discovered we had with photos with the same names but different project names. I was able to import everything into Aperture without any trouble. For my own sanity I did a batch rename to change the photo names in Aperture after the import.

Can you import imovie projects?

I edited a ton of raw footage in imovie and put into a project folder (with no theme applied). Now I want to import into aperature for a slideshow project and can't for the life of me figure out how. Any suggestions?

I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

Wanna cry - can only import to Projects?
