• Cannot import videos in the Lightroom library.

  I have a problem to import video files (.) (MOV), coming from the iPhone in video.

  When I press "import...". "and choose my files (video only 10 sec, 28MB in size), the window of exploitation would freeze for a while, then video preview could not build.

  However, I always press low import, the photo still can import with success, but video cannot, and the task bar would freeze FOREVER.

  (The photo then the video also could not import too.)

  The Lightroom had been updated to the latest version (5.6), OS is Mac OS X Yosemite.

  I searched the previews, included discussions

  Lightroom restarts, restart the computer, delete and rebulid preference "com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist" files

  Remove and reinstall Lightroom

  Delete and re-create the catalog

  Remove the video covers (by lightroom preference, file manipulation, clear Cache.)

  Then, I found that I do not have the video cache files in my user library

  Users / [username] / Library/Caches/Adobe /.

  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?

  Please help me, thank you very much.

  Finally, to solve the problem by myself.

  a. force quit Lightroom 5

  b. remove the file and the folder below:

  1 /User/[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist

  2 /users/ [username] / Library/Preferences/Adobe

  c. re-open the 5 Lightroom

  Now, everything's fine.

  The video preview generate well and quickly import.

• Best way to import pictures library (no iPhotos) in Lightroom 6

  I'm interested in Photos on Mac switching to Lightroom. In my view, there an import of iPhotos library plugin, but no import photo library plugin. Is a plugin to import of Photos under development? Or is there something else I should use to move Photos into Lightroom? My pictures are on my hard drive, not on iCloud.

• Import from the News Photos of Apple (not iPhoto) in Lightroom?

  As a complete Lightroom beginner how to import since the News Photos of Apple (not iPhoto) in Lightroom?  You said that there are no stupid questions.  I'm excited to get started with Lightroom.

  It is better to export Photos to OSX on the desktop versions or better still put them in standard Finder folders. Your versions will include any changes already made (not available in masters) and imported into LR duplicates will be completely separated, protect the library of Photos of corruption.

  You may be able to include IPTC metadata when exporting so that all of the keywords etc. imported.

• Opening, lack of masters after importing the iPhoto library

  I have a large (about 14 000 pictures) iPhoto library, which seems to work correctly when opened directly into iPhoto 9.6.1 or directly in Aperture 3.6. When open in one of those, all the "originals" or the "masters" can be located, and there is no problem.

  I want to merge this library in a large Aperture library. I tried to do this using file-> import-> library, who ran with no error message. After the work of import, most photos imported into iPhoto show an error icon, indicating that they are absent from their master. There are about 9 500 photos with masters missing, according to opening. I can use the tool to "Locate the referenced files", and then I see all these pictures with masters missing have "null" as the name of the volume in their way, and their path begins with the year of the import job. Path of the example:

  2012/01/03/20120103-185643/DSC02345. JPG

  To reconnect the master, I can navigate to the iPhoto library container and click the 'Masters' folder in the library container. As soon as I click on the folder of "Masters", the tool referenced files locates the record (since the rest of the path matches). See the screenshot:

  This method will not work for me, however, because the button "Log everything" does nothing. It will reconnect only one photo at a time, then the development of the upper part of the tool files referenced changes, and I need to re - click on the missing file missing, re - click the 'Masters' folder and click on reconnect again. I can't make that 9 500 times.

  Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

  Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

  The problem seems to be the Masters folder offline state.

  have you tried to repair or rebuild the iPhoto library before trying to merge into the Aperture library (Aperture 3 User Manual: repair and rebuild your Aperture library)?

  is the library with the iPhoto in question on an external disk library?  If so, how the hard drive is formatted?

• Comments on missing photos after photo import from iphoto library

  I use iphoto extensively for my company and I recently updated my OS to El Capitan and discovered that it didn't work anymore.  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  So I tried to go to the pictures.  I started the pictures and it prompted me to import my iphoto library, which is about 70 gigabytes.  Import ran for a long time and all images now appear in the Photos, but there is a problem.

  Before the upgrade, when I downloaded photos in iPhoto, they went to a group and have been dated from and prepared accordingly. But I would add notes and/or descriptions so that when I entered a search for specific photos, they came to the top and I didn't need dates. Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone. Do you know if they're hiding, or if we can find them? Otherwise I have no idea where the first photos are and I have to visually through the 22 000 photos.

  If not, is there a way to return to iphoto for El Capitan?

  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  Apple sells iPhoto, is more then the tab update of the AppStore works is no longer.  You can update only by reinstalling, see user tip Barney:   cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

  Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone.

  Are the descriptions of the events?  If you open the sidebar with the albums, (enter the ⌥⌘S - command-option-S key combination), you will see a folder iPhoto events.  It will be an album for each of your events.

  If you enter titles and captions for each photo, you will see them in the Panel information for each photo. Titles can also be displayed under thumbnails, if you enable it in the view menu > metadata.

• Library of ambient light lost when they are imported to iPhoto

  I tried to import my iPhoto photos into LightRoom 6. So I googled how to do and follow the attached instructions. I did this process and all my photos from iPhoto have been imported BUT now all records (131) and photos (in thousands) that were originally in LR have question marks in them, and if I try to open a photo says photo is not found?

  Someone has an idea of what has past and how can I recover my photos? I'm on a Mac and you use Time Machine.

  

  Hi karim,.

  You must have chosen a location for the images to be copied to a certain place at the time of the import from iphoto.

  If you have chosen the location as your external hard drive, make sure that your external hard drive is connected to the machine.

  If you have some chose another location and moved the images to another location, then you need to move the images as a result of this article: How to find missing photos in Photoshop Lightroom

  Hi Peter,.

  If some how changed the order sorted, you can go back sorting to 'Added A order' in the toolbar.

  or, choose all the photos and click the view menu and sort to choose the sort order.

• Lightroom: Time to Capture for videos imported from iphoto does not appear in the metadata

  Hi, I imported all my photos and videos from iphoto to Lightroom recently with iphoto import plugin.  I think that all my photos have been imported, but I noticed that all my videos have no capture time, while they became grouped in my collections.  But I think that I can still see their capture time in the 'gray' text on each photo.  Why did this happen and how to solve this problem?  I really want my time to capture in video metadata, and I also want to see my videos in chronological order on the right with my videos.   Strangely, the videos imported into Lightroom directly from my camera SD card do not have this problem, don't do that those imported from iphoto.  Thank you!

  LR does not correctly manage video metadata in general, and in particular, he often misses capture time.  Sometimes it works: choose a video, make metadata > edit Capture time and then click all change (without actually modifying the corrected time).  If that sets the time of capture at the right time, you can select all the videos of problem, metadata > edit Capture time, and then click all change.   If you have a small number of videos, you can manually fix the capture time to help change the Capture time.

  See for more information in the official forum for feedback from Adobe for more details, vote on it and give your opinion: Lightroom: metadata applied to videos in Lightroom is not available in other applications

• Imported into iPhoto and now have duplicates of each photo

  I am a new user of Lightroom. I imported my photos to Lightroom from iPhoto last week. I have no idea how or why it happened, but somehow, I have two copies of each photo in Lightroom. No one knows why it happened, and how can I fix?

  Yes moving images will break the links to the catalog. If you want to move or rename, always do it in the LR library and the changes will be automatically updated on your hard drive.

  I would say by dragging the masters to the images folder. Then import these files/sub-sub-sub-folders using import > Add

  Then you can trash all masters and copies used by iPhoto.

• How can I move from iPhoto to Lightroom 4 11'

  Hello

  I'm looking to start using Lightroom 4 my primary photo editing and management software and was hoping someone can give me a good idea on how to transfer all my images and import them into Lightroom from iPhoto 2011 (I have about 8 000). My biggest concern is not duplicate my files. I don't have an external hard drive so they will remain on my intern. I did not really any changes of my images with iPhoto, so I am not really concerned by the loss of these changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the net and found really good solutions or advice. Thank you!

  First thing I would do is to save your images. To do this, you will need to go to file > export. Here, the best option to do is choose 'gender' to be 'original '. This allows what you export to be in its original format. When you click Export, a new window will appear so you can chose your destination. As I said earlier, this will allow you to choose a folder that iPhoto will empty all your images in a without maintaining your current orginzation in regards to events, etc.. It's very well because this backup is just in case something goes seriously wrong. I prefer to use an external hard drive. You could make a folder on the internal drive, but this will create a copy of your images.

  Once your backup is complete. The second step is to get all the images in the iPhoto library while trying to keep everything in its current state. The easier and simpler way to proceed is to use Aperture 3. If you do not now, you can download the 30 day trial to be able to do. Its the safest method I found and interesting to use the trial just for that purpose. Even if you decide to buy it later, or even remove the trial version, the photos will be where you move and opening can always refer to them. The first step of this opening technique is to import your iPhoto library in Aperture. You have several options on how to proceed in this way. Fortunately, opening will reflect your iPhoto library in its structure (events, etc.). Whe Aperture is open, click file > import > then select iPhoto library. A dialog box opens and the iPhoto library is highlighted. In this box, you have the option to choose where you want to store the files. By default, 'in their cuurent location' is selected. Leaving it selected, opening will leave in iPhoto Library and simply refer to them. You need to select is "in the Aperture library." This could take a while, but finally all of your iPhoto events will be transferred in to the opening, and you see in the sidebar appear under the projects & Albums in a folder called events, which is located in a folder called iPhoto library. Each "event" from iPhoto will become 'Projects' in Aperture 3 and will have a yellow icon beside the name of each event/project. (At this point, I don't know if the iPhoto library is deleted and moved, or if it's a copy of it. If we make a copy by iPhoto Library is still there, you can simply delete the iPhoto library and it will remove your photos that would now be double sort)

  The next step is to move the masters in Aperture. What this does is actually allows you to move your events of the bundled file Aperture, but with each event/project in its own folder, you do not have to rearrange thousands of images. In the Inspector on the left pane, you will see that you can open the iPhoto Library folder and see the events folder. Open the events folder and you will see a list of all the events/projects. This process is a bit of your time. Start by selecting your first event, and then click file > Masters to plan to move. When the dialog box opens, will give you the opportunity to choose where the folder will be moved. What you can do is select your username under Favorites, select a photo and put it in there (or create a new folder in the pictures). After selecting your destination, you want to chose the Format subfolder and select the name of the project. What this did that create a folder named after your project/event and put all the photos in this case in this new folder. You can see an example of name of file listed at the bottom for you. Once you have that together, you can select move the masters. Opening will move the pictures when you have selected, keeping them in their event/folder and keep a clean organization. You will notice that the move took place, a little tag icon in each image as bottom right, moved his stating that the images are now referenced in Aperture and not a managed master longer.

  We must continue to do this for each project/event, one at a time. Once you're done, you're done. All files will be organized in their respective folders in the location you have chosen. The beauty of it is that they are already referenced in Aperture, and if you want to continue using it, you don't have to do something else. You can leave it there and just keep adding to the opening you take more pictures. Second, you can now import into LR by selecting them where they are, by clicking Add in the LR import menu. Leaving them where they are and the references as well.

  If you want to add the images as well, go opening IPTC data and in the top menu bar, select metadata > write IPTC metadata to the master. You can do it before or after you reposition the masters. But I would before importing to LR.

  It is the method that I used and it was the most successful without losing any of my organization in iPhoto and do not duplicate one of the images. It seems a little complicated, but considering that apple gives you no choice of in iPhoto, it's the safest way to free yourself of their shit. The important thing to remember when referencing these images in Aperture or iPhoto is to never move any file once its in a folder on your site of photos and already referenced by the program. Later if you want to use iPhoto, you can simply import this kind of things once again, leaving in their location and their SEO in Aperture. Which has its limitations as well, but such is life in the world of apples. You have really no other choice.

  The two other options are to use these two programs: iPhoto2Disk (http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html) or PhotoShare (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). The first, iPhoto2Disk cost 12.99 and is supposed to be able to let you export all from iPhoto in its current state. PhotoShare is free, but I haven't personally used it. I felt more record ranging from the road of opening just because I knew that Aperture communicates well with iPhoto and I can easily get aperture to what iPhoto should have been able to do in export.

  I hope this helps everyone!

• Import from iPhoto - Meta-data missing?

  I am importing photos from iPhoto in pictures, but it seems that most of the metadata is not transferred.

  The process is to select the file-> import in pictures, select the pictures at the bottom of the left sidebar in the dialog box, choose iPhoto-> events and select an event for import.

  Transfer photos, and that they retain their location data. But the descriptions, tags, and faces are lost.

  Photos had imported the entire iPhoto library originally, but there were a few problems with former segments of the library. (I have not been able to correct some problems, so I am looking to re - import an event at a time, for a couple to organize the reasons and then delete the duplicates) In this import, all the metadata has been chosen. So, it seems possible to import it. But it does not work in this case.

  The media browser does not give you the metadata - select photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder by checking the boxes of metadata you want in the export dialog - export from iPhoto - and then import these images into pictures

  And you never import an iPhoto photo library - you migrate and migration keeps metadata - you only import pictures of libraries

• Remove photos already imported into iphoto using several libraries

  Hello

  I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 and due to the large amount of photos that I take and trying to stay organized, I have multiple iPhoto libraries. I'm in a situation where I have pictures on a card of the camera, which belong to two different libraries. When I opened one, I see all of the available import photos (as I have never imported it none of them, but want to import some of them). When I opened another library, I see some already imported and some available import (as I already imported some). At this point, I want to delete only on the map, those that were imported, so that when I open the first library, the only photos showing import, are those who are new and have never been imported in the previous library. A bit complicated, I know, but I will not reproduce in several libraries. So my question... when I see the line of photos already imported into iPhoto, is there a way to select and iPhoto just delete them camera card? I tried, but I can't seem to make it happen. If not, does anyone have another suggestion how to proceed (if all goes well simply), making sure that I don't accidentally lose pictures?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help

  rostopovitch

  It's complicated! How many photos are on the map? To really have control, I would probably want to delete the photos using the finder. But for this, you have to have a master list of what to get rid from that should be kept. I think you want to close iPhoto before deleting anything.

  Fat Cat Software has a program called iPhoto Library Manager that really made these much easier questions for me. He made comparing libraries and move photos between libraries much easier. I don't think that you can use for your problem exactly, but you would be able to load it all into a library to be sure you had everything and then move or copy photos as needed. I recommend it if you plan to keep this multiple configuration of the library. http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iPLM/

• Question about recommended Lightroom library and configuration of the synchronization

  I move to a Windows workstation for my main machine from my Mac. I install Lightroom on it as my main photo management software. My library is currently stored in iCloud library on my Mac, and it syncs with my iPhone and iPad in iCloud. What would be the best solution to make my pictures my Windows workstation PC and sync them with my iOS devices? Should I leave them in iCloud photo library, synchronize with my PC, and then catalog them in Lightroom, or should I move them to iCloud library directly imported and stored in Lightroom and then synchronize Lightroom with my iOS devices? Can Lightroom for iOS also copy photos since iOS Photos and in the case I need to use the iOS library selector in other applications? Thank you!

  Hi mallardnathan,

  In order to use Lightroom on the Windows Machine without any problem, we suggest to remove your iCloud photo library images and move it completely on windows, where machine, you can add your images in Lightroom.

  Whether you plan to use Lightroom as your main Photo management software, you should be aware of what Lightroom does not store your images in it like your other software.

  You can synchronize your images from your desktop to the iOS device to make changes, you can add images from the photo library of iOS and synchronize on the Lightroom on your desktop.

  It will be useful.

  Kind regards

• import of openness to lightroom versions

  I'm about to import my Aperture library in Lightroom. I read messages and watch videos YouTube, but all have dates, so I don't know how to update some are.

  My big question is Lightroom recognizes now versions, adjustments, TIFF, etc. of Aperture?

  If this is not the case, is there good instructions for a work around or import? I don't want to lose thousands of changes.

  And, I have to install the Aperture import module? I have trouble finding, so I wonder if it is part of the latest version of Lightroom.

  Aperture has a good video of the procedure to follow for the transfer, or is there a recommended video YouTube?

  Thank you!

  Hi Roger,

  Opening import plugin is incorporated into Lightroom 5 update.

  And it doesn't matter of changes of opening

  You can see this FAQ: Opening Import plug-in for Lightroom FAQ

  If you then want to changes, you can start with import these images from Aperture and how import in Lightroom.

  Kind regards
