WOW! Am losing my MIND to import a photo!

As a user from Avid, FCP, Vegas, I find it almost insane that I can't import a photo onto the timeline.
I have opened iPhoto, imported the photo and it doesn't show up in iMovie, I have also placed it in a EVENT and it still (After MERGE and closing both APPS) does not show up.
Why can't you just drag and drop photos? ? ?
Anyway, can someone PLEASE tell me where this photo is? It shows up in iPhoto, but not in iPHOTO within iMOVIE and isn't there any other way BESIDES iPhoto to import an image?
Thanks....
• DEFINITELY ON THE WISH LIST - DRAG AND DROP PHOTOS & VIDEOS..

Why can't you just drag and drop photos?
I have no problem dragging and dropping photos from either the iPhoto/Aperture browser or the Finder. As for clips, then can either be "imported" via the file menu or drag and dropped directly from the Finder to an Event name in the Event Library list.
Anyway, can someone PLEASE tell me where this photo is?
If you are referring to where photos are stored that have been imported to an iMovie '08 project, then they are stored in the named_Project package as individual frames in an MOV file named "Still Images."
It shows up in iPhoto, but not in iPHOTO within iMOVIE and isn't there any other way BESIDES iPhoto to import an image?
You can also drag compatible photos from the Finder level and drop them directly to the iMovie '08 Project window where they appear as a "still image sequence."

SWF Banner works in Live View not in Any Browser? Losing my mind...

Hello,
I'm not a pro but have some web building experience. I'm currently building a website for myself in Dreamweaver CS5. I made a simple flash banner where pictures fade in and out. I placed it into my template and it works fine in Live View but not in Chrome, Firefox or IE.
It has gotten to the point where I am losing my mind.
I create a new HTML doc. Drag and drop ANY swf file. Saved Swf files as flash 8 and flash 9 even. Updated my flash last night for my browsers. Again... See it fine in Live View and not in the browsers i've mentioned.
The browsers (except chrome which displays nothing) show this message.
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
Even after flash updates and using a swf file saved as an older veriosn of flash (tried 9,8 and 5 for a laugh).
Here is the html code (all generated by Dreamweaver). I am totally baffled and have spent HOURS scrying the internet to no avail. I even tried this in a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 but had the same reslut. Please help me. What's going on?

i have just imported my photos on my ipad to my new mac book pro. can i now delete them from my ipad to create more space without losing them on my laptop?

Yes you can delete them. Removing them from the iPad has no effect at all on the Mac.

Something is driving me insanely crazy. I am losing my mind.

My website is: Tangoislands.com
and if you visit this page you will see every island you mouse over brings a dropdown menu.
I designed this page on dreamweaver cs3. Now i own cs5 and I am not able to find that window where I was able to create all that dropdown menu items.
Where is it?
Is it replaced with something else?
when i am upgraded to cs5, am i not able to re-edit all that menu items?
I am losing my mind. Please help me.

MM Rollover Menus are history. Thank goodness, too, because they were the worst menu ever. For the whole sordid story, see below:
http://losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Adobe had the good sense to replace them several years ago with Spry Menus. Or you could simply re-build your island menu with CSS Rollovers.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I AM LOSING MY MIND WITH MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone please help me!!!!!! I have been using mail for 8 months, then all of a sudden I started to get this error "The SMTP server “plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]” I have check all passwords, and settings.. still won't accept it.. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or miss.. won't send and now I am not receving my mail from Gmail either, and I just set it up// losing my mind.. not sure what to do... and the people at the Apple store here not fully understanding as.. German is their first language....HELP ME!!!!!

I would do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Try removing the com.apple.mail.plist file from your /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Don't delete it but rather put it somewhere else such as your Desktop. Make a backup of your /Home/Library/Mail/ folder just in case.
Then reconfigure Mail. Your accounts should still be there so nothing you have stored on the computer should be lost.

How to import edited photos from iphone to Windows-based laptop without losing XMP edits

When I import photos from iphone into Lightshop all edits are lost. how do I prevent that?
thanks
Robert

You fail to understand the question. "How can I import edited photos from iPhone 5S to PC (Windows 7)?" The key is that the photos taken on my iPhone have been edited on the iPhone. The original photo exists in "Photo Stream," and the edited photo exists in "Camera Roll."
When I import (synch, transfer, any synonym you prefer is fine with me) photos, they are written to two areas available on my PC:
Photostream images are at
Computer\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream\
and Camera Roll (edited phots) are at
C:\Users\[my name]\Pictures\[synch-date]\
The images shown in "C:\Users\[my name]\Pictures\[synch-date]\" (the Camera Roll photos) are not as they were edited, however. I suspect that the iPhone "edits" images by applying a layer that manipulates the image without actually editing the file.
I have found so far that my best recourse is to import photos to my PC, edit them there in Photoshop (or other software), and then upload the images as I want them edited back to the iPhone. I would prefer to simply edit the pictures once on the iPhone and be able to import the edited files to my PC.

Problem when importing two photo galleries with the same name. Please Help!

Hi Guys,
I'm not a pro in dreamweaver so I would appreciate if your answer wouldn't be too technical...
Anyway I have experienced a problem. Heres the sotory, I have been making a websie in DW and used Adobe Bridge CS5 to create a photo gallery SWF file that I would use for my website. The problem is that I want to use two different photo galleries on two different pages however when I save my second photo gallery in bridge, it saves every file with the exact name as the first photo gallery I created and is working fine... Thus when I try to import the photo gallery files into my website folder structure, I find that it asks me to rename them because the files from the first photo gallery are called the exact same names.. Now obviously when I try to rename them dreamweaver gets confused and goes to the wrong folder and uses the images from my first photo gallery in the second one.
So I guess my question is how can I organize my folder structure to be able to import multiple galleries without dreamweaver getting confused because bridge names all the files the same. Or how could I save the files through bridge so that they have different names and will work fine when I import into DW...
Thanks and sorry for the essay,
Patrick

#1 You cannot have two files / folders or galleries with the same name. Redo your image Galleries with different names.
#2 SWF (flash) is not visible to iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android or other web devices that don't support Flash Player. These users will see nothing. You might wish to explore other photo gallery / slideshow options that rely on jQuery instead of Flash technology. Some links below. A Google search will reveal many others.

Can't Import Scanned Photos

I have scanned about 100 snap shots from the original photo prints. All are saved in .JPG format. When I try to drag these photos to my iPhoto library, a message appears advising that the files are unreadable (may be unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data).
I'm puzzled. As I said, I saved them as jpeg files ...
Thanks for any help.
G5 iMac Rev B, 2Gb RAM, 400 Gb HD, iPod 20 Gb Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I know it can be confusing working with a new operating system so don't be frustrated. iPhoto works a little differently than what you are used to. Photos must be imported into iPhoto in order for iPhoto to see them. That is why when you scan photos and save them in the iPhoto Library folder they do not show up in iPhoto. The photos must be scanned and saved to a folder OTHER than the iPhoto Library folder. Once saved, they then can be dragged into an open iPhoto Library viewing window (iPhoto is open and you are viewing your photos in the library window) to import, or use the menu command of File>add to library from the menu bar. Once imported/copied into iPhoto you can then delete the scanned photos from the folder you saved them too.
Now, I am wondering how you chose that folder path to save the scanned photos too? Did you navigate to the Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/roll110 folder and choose that folder to save them too?
Anyway, navigate back to that folder and drag the scanned photos to the desktop. Open iPhoto and import the photos on the desktop.
Since you are new to the Mac and iPhoto I have a little more info to help you out with iPhoto.
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database (the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder) and your hard drive ONLY after you empty iPhoto's trash. (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder. You can also drag a folder of photos into an empty space in the source column and a new roll and album will be created at the smae time for those images in the folder. The album will have the same name as the folder you dragged into the source column.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
--You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
--You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose
For iPhoto 5--"when double clicking on
photo" ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
For iPhoto 6 (from the Apple Help Menu)-Have you ever used PS as the external editor set up within iPhoto Prefs?
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."
--Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
--Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
-The one option you will not find within iPhoto is to resize photos. iPhoto wants you to keep all full size images within iPhoto to give you the best size for printing or using for other applications. You can however go to Share>export (for iPhoto 5) or File>export (for iPhoto 6) and choose the naming scheme, input the dimensions and export to the desktop to use for uploading to a web space or emailing.
--to email a photo set up your email client in iPhoto Preferences. Once done, just select a photo/photos and hit the email icon in the toolbar.
If you use a web based email, then you need to export the photo to the desktop and upload it from there.
Two Apple kbs for you to read

Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.

How to import additional photos (not taken from iPad) to iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I have a 1st gen. iPad. I put 4000 photo's on it from my computer as an additional album. Since then, the computer that had those photos crashed and the photos are no longer on there.
I'm aware that since these weren't taken from the device we cannot import them to iPhoto, but my question is, is there any third party program or resource that I can use to get these photo's back to my computer? I'm really concerned about losing these, about 8 years of photos here.
Thanks everyone in advanced.

If you have backup your computer, you can access the data within minutes.
Okay, sermon about backing up your data is over.
You have a fully working iPad. Your unnamed computer crashed, and with it, the pictures are gone. Obviously, you want the pictures back.
Nobody can help you with the dead computer. Are you saying you want to extract the photos from your iPad?

Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!

Import 800K photos (many duplicates) into Aperture from multiple folders in one hard drive.

I have a hard drive with 800,000+ photos in it, many are duplicates after I have made multiple back-ups to different drives over the years and then transferred all the photos to this new drive. The photos are located in different folders but are all in the same hard-drive. How do a import the photos in the easiest/fastest way? How will they get sorted, by date? Is there anyway that I could delete the duplicates without losing photos? I have many photos with the same file name (but from different cameras), tumbnails, edited photos etc.
Very thankful for your assistance!

Hi,
You can import photos from multiple folders.
Just click File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files and Folders
Now select the folders you want to import photos from (they should be at same level in the directory, say all folders in My Pictures) using Ctrl+Click, tick the checkbox for 'Get Photos from subfolders' if not already checked and then click 'Get Media'.
Hope that will help
Thanks

Import // rename photos

does anybody know
how can I replace about 2000 photos in indesign without having to import and rename the photos?
for example if I have 4 photos in a document, named A,B,C,D located in a folder named X
and I want to replace them with 4 different photos, named E,F,G,H located in a folder named Y , is there a possible way to do it automatically instead of manually?

I got that.. is just an endless procedure to re-link each image...as well as rebuilding from scratch (with bridge contact sheet)
I cannot rename the images because they belong to specific libraries and they ought to have the specific names however
your second suggestion "export the file to a .inx file and open the file in a text editor, like notepad or something, and then find the reference to a.tiff and replace it with b.tiff.", might be faster because I already have txt files listing the images. SO the replacement in a notepad of a.tiff to b.tiff its more than easy.
if I do that what could you please tell me what is the next step in order for my initial .indd file to take the information from .inx file?

You basically have to tell indesign what image you want to link to. If you say that you want to link to a.tiff and then you want to change the image to b.tiff you have to Relink the image. As all indesign sees is a path to the file, i.e., c:\mydocuments\eugene\images\a.tiff
InDesign has no way of reading your mind and inserting the b.tiff instead.
The only other way to do it is to rename b.tiff to be a.tiff
Or if you export the file to a .inx file and open the file in a text editor, like notepad or something, and then find the reference to a.tiff and replace it with b.tiff.
But you don't want to do that.
What I'd do is load up my cursor with all the images I wanted to place and go to each image and just click on it to insert the new image.
or
I'd select the images in the links panel (Window>Links) and choose Relink, and then when prompted to relink A.tiff I'd choose b.tiff, and when prompted for the next image I'd select the new image I wanted to place.
But InDesign won't be able to read your mind, you have to tell it what image you want to replace the other image.

Imported (rotated) photos have been chopped please help!

I have imported some photos to the movie I am building, but the ones that were originally taken as portrait style, which I rotated in i-photo (otherwise they would be on their side) have come across with the tops and bottoms missing. How do I get around this? Plese help - this is my wedding video I'm trying to do!
Thanks

I can't get rid of the thick border I get down each side. How can I get the photo to fill the entire screen?
Because of the shape of a portrait pic, you cannot avoid the black edges, unless you are prepared to zoom in, thus losing part of the top, bottom, or both. Note that you can also 'pan' a photo, so as to not lose any of the head of a person, for example, but cutting off the lower part of the pic.
All the un ken burns efffected ones I have in my time / clip viewer at the bottom - how do I apply Ken burns to all those?
Select them all (or do this one at a time if you want individual settings), and in the Photos Pane, tick the Ken Burns box, make the adjustments you want, then click 'Apply'.
Have a look here for some very useful tutorials:
