Why does EO always try to import the same three files?

Whenever I open Elements Organizer 12.1 it is attempting to import files. It always finds the same three files and then reports them already in the catalog. If I import files from my camera or card reader or folder, in addition to the files on the selected device it attempts to import the same three files that are already in the catalog. I have seen this message hundreds of times. How do I make it stop attempting to import these three files?
I have tried deleting the three files from the catalog. The first time I opened EO it found the three files and imported them. The next time I opened EO it attempted to import the same three files and reported them already in the catalog. Arrgh...

Yeah depends on the source but generally MPG hasn't ever been supported in Final Cut Pro- as Tom says you want to convert it to ProRes elsewhere before bringing into FCP X.

  • Why does Bridge always lose track of the Favorites folders I put into it?

    (Latest version of Bridge)
    I haven't used Bridge in a while because of this problem.
    When you click on one of your Favorites folders in the panel on the far
    left side, the folder comes up with a question mark and it can't find anything!
    Why does this happen?
    Even though the original location of the files or folders was never moved or renamed.. Bridge loses track of the folders I put into it?
    How do I keep it from doing that?

    Here's the boilerplate text referenced by Omke;
    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.

    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

  • Why do I have to keep importing the same file in FCPX?

    After downloading my camera files to my computer, I imported the files into my FCPX project.  However, there is one file that I have to re-import every time I open FCPX again.  Is this file damaged, or is there something that I am doing wrong?

    Luis, I import the clip from a folder on my hard disk that does replicate the file on the camera card, and the clip does have a little camera icon in the bottom left corner of the screen (see the images below).

  • Importing the same audio file in several session

    I use a sfx of someone walking around in several sessions. In one session I modified the sound to slow it down, but not the original. But now, each time I try to import the original sound, it's the modified sound that is imported, not mthe original, and I can't seem to be able to find a way around this.
    Any hints ?

    How are you doing the import? If you're sure you didn't modify the original, it should be on your hard drive somewhere, and you can just drag it into the new session from the Finder.
    Edits you make in the audio window are destructive, so you would have to be sure you told Logic to make a copy when you slowed it down.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep repairing the same disc permissions

    I am trying to figure out why my early 2008 macbook pro is lagging. I tried to repair disc permissions but it always repairs the same ones. The other thought I had was that the video card may be on its way out, but not sure how to check that.

    Some of the messages that Disk Utility provides when repairing disk permissions are informational only, and not of consequence. See this Apple note on messages you can ignore: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    On your video card, run the Apple hardware test using the extended test, which will check out the video hardware.

  • Why does negation of Integer.MIN_VALUE display the same value ?

    Hi Guys,
    This is my code :
    package declarations;
    public class dec32 {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              int a = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

    O/P : -2147483648 -2147483648Now,my question is why does b which is actually negation of the value of a,again print -2147483648 ?
    Thank you for your consideration.

Since negative -2,147,483,648 equals 2,147,483,648 which is one value over the maximum, it ticks over to -2,147,483,648 again.
    Thank you for your consideration.Your welcome.

  • Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod repeat the same song over?  I can't get any playlists or albums to play...

    Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod just play the same song over and over?  I cannot figure out how to get it to shuffle or play through an album or playlist...  It just started doing this randomly and it's very frustrating!

    You have probably Repeat turned on.  See the top of p. 77 of the User Guide.

  • Why does a song not return to the same place when I close it?

    Recently, for some reason, when I have a song open and press 'my songs'  (which effectively closes the song) the song doesn't return to its usual location on the screen/folder. Instead it cues to the top left hand corner, and likewise with every other song, the same thing happens.
    It's only just started doing this which makes remembering what is where even more difficult.
    Any help much appreciated.

    You are welcome, Nick. Don't worry about the "é" - it will depend on your keyboard, if it is easy. On my keyboard I type first the accent ´ and then the e, and all is done

  • Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

    Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode?  There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it.  Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway.  It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was.  Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode.  I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also.  It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode.  Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs.  Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this.  I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have.  Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

    I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue.  It worked better when there was no setting for this.  I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.

  • IPhoto keeps trying to import the same 42 files each time

    I imported thousands of pictures from a formerly Windows based backup external hard drive. Everything went well except with 42 pictures. Every time I bring up iPhoto, it tells me that these 42 pictures were not imported and then it ask me if I wish to import them. I click yes and it attempts and then says it was unable to import them and has now placed in them a recovered folder in the pictures folder under finder. That would be okay except that it does it every time. I just removed 14 folders of the same files. If I click No it creates a recovered folder within the iPhoto album section, How do I stop this from happening? I just got off the phone with Apple Care and they were no help. All he told me to do was rebuild iPhoto database. We are talking about 15,000 pictures here that have been put in specific folders and certain albums. I do not want to go through that process again. Oh, I am doing this on a new iMac I just purchased. Any suggestions?

    this is one of the very few times when the answer is to delete something form your iPhoto library
    Quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library and choose the show package contents option - look in the iPhoto library for a folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else - launch iPhoto and everything will be ok
    Open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them into iPhoto - and then drag the import(ing) folder to the trash and empty it

  • Why when I use any chess app that can send PGN files to an e-mail, why does my iPhone can't send the PGN attachement file?

    I downloaded the app "Chess score pad". It was supposed to send an email with a PGN attachement to me, but it didn't worked. it only sends the text but not the attachement. I can send other type of files like photos, audio and videos. Why can't I send PGN files? Help please!

  • Why does my iPod touch keep repeating the same song?

    Since I loaded the software update 4.1 my music keeps replaying one song unless I choose to shuffle. What have I done?

    Hello jennysipod,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure you don't have your iPod set to repeat one song. While one song is playing, tap the artwork to bring up additional controls. You'll see a icon below the scrubber on right side that probably has a 1 on it. Tap it to change the setting to something else such as off.

  • Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

    Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
    It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
    YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
    HELP!!

  • Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage every time i try to access netflix or youtube?

    Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
