Why does lightroom 2.7 keep making me import a folder?

Every time I sync my Nikon Transfer folder to import my new pictures that I just loaded from my camera, a folder that I have already imported is included in the import. This folder and its contents are already in there. And lightroom agrees by telling me that it didn't import that folder because it already exsists. Why does lightroom try to import that folder in the first place?

Beat,
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I thought the folders viewed in Explorer and in Lightroom were one and the same. I think I see what you are getting at though. Perhaps if you were to change the name via Lightroom, the metadata gets changed in a way that causes Lightroom to think it needs to re-import. I don't change the names from the auto-generated sub folder that Nikon Transfer creates - which is the date and time using all numerals.
I think I am just going to copy this sub folder to somewhere else, delete the original, re-import it and see what happens.  I will might lose all my raw edits in the process, but I have already delivered the finished jpegs to my client.

    For the last couple of days, every minute, my Mac has been making a two-tone beep.  I have absolutely no idea why.  There are no jumping icons to tell me that a program wants my attention and I have tried closing all my applications, the problem does not go away.
    I live in Nepal and there are no Genius bars to go to, what do I do?
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Backing up should not be a problem. Has your computer had a knock recently? I'm just wondering if a RAM module may be slightly unseated. You can google YouTube videos on resetting it, you also may need to to search these forums to reset PRAM and SMC.
    Good luck

  • Why does my Bose Dock keep making my Ipod Touch cry?

    Hey!
    Sorry if this has already been answered- but i'm on the quest to find out why my ipod touch is acting like a dodgy old portable CD player.
    I've got Bose IPOD dock, which i've had for the past three years and has worked perfectly with my 2nd Gen IPOD, and also more recently with my 2nd gen shuffle (after i forked out for an adapter to dock it)
    The touch and bose has been working in oerfect harmony for the last 6 months - not sure sure if the remote works- i think my batteries have gone.
    Anyway - more recently touch has been playing ok for around 10 songs then starts to break up, stutter and the music begins to do that thing when your old casstte walkman used to run out of battery (slowed down tempo, voices, sounds like something out of a horror film). The screen also breaks up with lines, flickers and eventually after a good 5 minutes of white flickers, gives up.
    Pressing the round button and top black button together brings it back to life eventually, but I'm trying to figure out why the **** it's started playing up. Bose bad or Touch pants?

    Hey!
    Certainly sounds like your Touch is not charging whilst docked in the Bose.Do you see the charging symbol whilst it's playing?If it is your Bose fear not.
    I had mine 4 years, my 3 year old son snapped the connector off whilst his mums Nano was on it.Sent them a request for service via customer support and they repaired it FREE OF CHARGE,even paying for recorded collection/delivery.Can't recommend them highly enough.On the other hand if it's your Touch........Apple Store visit or Apple warranty repair if it's still valid.
    Cheers,
    John

  • Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

    The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

  • Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

    Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll?????  If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

  • Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on facetime?

    Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on FaceTime and tries to constantly reconnect?

    Does it happen anywhere that you use FaceTime or only in your home WiFi network? If it happens with your home network, have you tried power cycling your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
    Turn WiFi off and on in the settings. Reset the network settings.
    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?

  • Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

    I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...
