• Nikon d5100 video won't import in Windows Photo Gallery

  I've recently upgraded to a Nikon D5100 to the D5000.  I had no problem at all to import photos and videos from the D5000.  However, only the photos import to Windows Photo Gallery... and the videos are not!  I've tried everything I can think of and nothing will work.  Windows Photo Gallery is not compatible with this device?  Are the videos of the D5100, another type of file than the D5000?  Help!   Thank you! ;)

  Thank you.  So, I understand that the video is in a different format.  Is it possible to change this on the camera?  I tried to download a program of online conversion, but it is very confusing and I'm getting nowhere.  I liked my D5000 and I'm so darn frustrated with my D5100 at this stage.  I just want to be able to download the video so that I can use it.  Ugh!   What do you recommend I do?  I need to convert all the videos so I can use it... and you know a good conversion site?

  ============================================
  I don't have any experience with these cameras, but perhaps the
  more info would help you find a solution that works for you.

  Yes, the video format is different. You could check the owner
  Manual, but I don't think that the camera has an option for export
  the video in a different format.

  MPEG4 being a QuickTime format... There is a possibility

• Error: The video device is currently in use... trying to import video

  original title: importing video

  I'm trying to import video from my camcorder. I did this several times in the past with no problems. Now, I get the following message: the video device is currently in use. Close any other program that is using the device and try again.

  I don't have any other programs open. I went to the Device Manager; Imaging devices; and my camcorder is listed and it says that the device is functioning properly. I tried to "import from digital video camera" using Windows Movie Maker and I still get the same message. I tried to disconnect the 1394 cable and turn on/off several times my camera. I still get the same message. I've never had this problem before. I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I had the same problem since I started recording on 10 July
  I have DELL Studio 64-bit pc
  Sony DCR TRV350 so I use I394 cable 4 pin-to-6-pin firewire
  While your DVR camera is connected to the PC via firewire, search Windows Update and install the patches to recommend.
  If you have Windows encode uninstall it
  reset
  It worked for me
  It may be useful
  I checked with sony for help. They could not help, but it gave me a clue

• Remove the folders of Windows Photo Gallery, the titles remain, how to remove?

  Delete several files of Windows Photo Gallery, their titles, however, remain.  How to eliminate unwanted titles?

  No guarantee... but if you try to clean
  and again... the following info may be useful:

  Vista Database photo gallery...

  The 'Pictures.pd4' database includes thumbs
  and metadata and is located at the following location.

  (depending on your version of Windows Photo Gallery
  the database could be Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.)

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

  The database is a file... you will need to
  Change the following setting:

  Reach... Control Panel / folder Options / View tab.
  ... To check "Show the hidden files and folders" / apply / OK.

  The file ends with a advanced
  Search for pd4 pd5 and pd6.

  Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

  Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden and"
  system files' Enter pd4 pd5 or pd6 in the name field

  Renaming or deleting the .pd4, pd5 or pd6 file should
  clean your library.

  The next time that the Gallery is launched, it will create
  a new database file and the gallery will appear as
  He did the first time you have ever opened.

  The gallery must fill in again and some tags
  and metadata can be lost.

  Try to rename it...           Pictures.OLD
  If you are not satisfied with the results... you can try
  change to Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.

  Remove and reinstall Lightroom

  Delete and re-create the catalog

  Do not display the Lightroom folder from other computers of Lightroom installed. (Another mac also use OS X Yosemite and import fine.)

  I press down right, check that I have "Read & Write" permissions the Adobe folder.

  The question is: How can I tell Lightroom to generate the video cache files?

  Or are there other reasons the problem of import?

• Cannot import pictures using the USB cable

  I have a Canon 5 d Mark III and LR 4.3. I normally import pictures using a card reader see However, I'm on vacation and have only the USB cable that connects the camera to my Macbook Pro. I used it successfully in the past to import photos, but I am now getting the following error:

  

  I get this if I select one or more photos (there are about 195 on the map right now).

  Original title: Windows Live Photo Gallery problem

  I used to have Windows Live Photo Gallery on this computer and it was working fine.  For some reason, he took off.  I tried to download again and get a message that says I have to sign as an administrator for the download to work.  When I check my user account, it is said that I AM the administrator.

  What should do?  Thank you

  Try to create a new administrator account and see if you can install the program. If you can, your profile is corrupt.

• Cannot find printer in Photo Gallery.

  My hp color inkjet printer appears in the printer of the Photo Gallery window but my hp laserjet resources and white isn't even if it is marked to the default printer.  I like to use the laser for many scanned documents but I can't seem to figure out how to get the laser on the list in the photo gallery.

  You can follow the steps below:

  1. click on start, type control printers in the start search box, and then click Control printers in the list programs.

  2 right-click the printer that you want to use and then click on set as default printer.

  Note: A check mark on the printer icon indicates that the printer is now the default printer.
