How to UN-do an import?
I just started using Lightroom and tried to import my photos from a network drive. I selected the folder on the drive, then when I click on import he began to import tens of thousands of files in my C: drive. Now, I have thousands of little useless images of my program files and no pictures. How can I save and delete all this stuff from the library?
I already looked through the help files, the forum posts, etc.
The design of Lightroom is really not as something I've never seen in Windows. It's horribly confusing. If I can't understand that so easily, I have will likely be asked for my money back and never come back to Adobe.
Thanks for your help.

In the left panel of the library under Catalog module, select "Previous import." Select all of the image files (CTRL + A), press the DELETE key and select "delete" and NOT DELETE! This will remove the files from the image of the LR catalog, but leave them on your hard drive.

Yes indeed this is correct! LR is a non-destructive image editor that works quite different from most other applications so that you can be used. When import you files in LR, it adds an entry for car rental in the LR catalog. Because of this that we should never move, rename, delete or add files outside LR using Windows Explorer. Pressing the F1 key inside of LR, which will take you to the help page of LR for more information and tutorials.

in newly improved LR6.4, when I want to import from SD card, the images are in a random order, not the order that I pulled on them. Images are scattered. Once imported, the images are correct. How can I get the import to be in the order that I pulled on them?
Is there a sort option near the bottom of the import screen. Have you tried different sort options that are available?

How to make subtitles srt imported visible?
How to make subtitles srt imported visible?
I can see in the timeline when I zoom and I turned on both the "display legends (highlighted in blue) and legends Enabled United Nations display settings."
I have an Imac 27 "mid-2010
OSX 10.9.4
First Pro CC update
Under display of captions-> settings you must choose the corresponding standard. (Thank you, phone support Adobe!)
But. It's about a useless feature for the display of appropriate subtitles. So we're back to imported twisted again with or without png files fcp xml files.
of course, I'm open to the suggestion of subtitles to first import. Could they be prepared I may have After Effects?

How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?
Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo
Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:
Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos? Just a heads-up.
If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically
OK, it worked for me on El Cap
Open a terminal window
Type the following in the terminal and press enter
defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES
(followed by the return key or enter - ed)
The exit of the terminal.
Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.
If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no
This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.
You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.

Thank you
IF you synchronize the photos on your iPad via iTunes and unchecking sync it the Photos option does not work, try to create an empty folder on your desktop and then select this folder as the folder of Photos that you are synchronizing. That should erase all the pictures on the iPad when you synchronize a folder empty.

How to prevent the automatic import of Photos
I plugged my camera into my computer, and the pictures immediately began to import images. How can I stop this? I see nothing in the preferences to achieve this.
When the Import Photos Panel opens, you should see a check mark in the toolbar 'Open pictures for the device'. Clear this check box and Photos should not open again for this device (until you reformat the card).
The automatic launch can be disabled for each camera separately.
You can try this fix: this Terminal command allows to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos.
- Photos of quit smoking and unplug any camera.
- Open a Terminal and paste this command and press return:
defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES
- Restart the Mac. It is not necessary, but it worked for me after the reboot.

How am I able to import emails from hotmail in Windows Outlook Express for Windows 98?
My grandfather is not familiar with Windows 98, I understand that it is a version absolete. It is impossible to access his e-mail from your Windows Live Hotmail account I would like to know how to import messages from a hotmail account in Outlook Express for Windows 98. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Hello
To import contacts and email from Hotmail addresses in your Outlook Express address book:
- Set up access to your Hotmail account in Outlook Express.
- If you already have contacts in your address book Outlook Express for the current identity and want to make sure that you only import Hotmail contacts, create a new Outlook Express identity for the Hotmail account.
- Select Tools | Address book... from the menu in Outlook Express.
- Choose Tools | Synchronize now in the menu of the address book.
- If this choice is not available, make sure that you do not share contacts between Outlook Express and Outlook. Close and restart Outlook Express if you have made any changes to the contact sharing settings.
- To import the contacts in a program other than Outlook Express e-mail, export the address book from the current identity and use the import feature of your mail client to add contacts from the .csv file.
- Set up access to your Hotmail account in Outlook Express.
