Error message: "the following files were imported but could not be renamed"

Trying to import photos and keep getting error "the following files were imported but could not be renamed."  Any help would be appreciated...using Lightroom 3 still ( I know I know) and importing into lightroom with a backup copy to computer harddrive. 
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Peter I am also experiencing the same error message.  Here is my situation:
I am using Lightroom 4.
I have duplicated images across multiple harddrives.
  I am trying to import these using 2 seperate 2 terrabyte hard drives ( 1 for lightrooom the other as my image backup drive).
I am using keywords and embedding the keyword into the new backup file name. Hopefully provide some organization.
I am using the MOVE option in my import process.
Have he images that were not renamed moved to the new backup drive?  Are they they under the original file name?
I want to end up with a common lightroom catalog and single backup file structure as my photo repository.
What am I doing to trigger the above message and what suggestions might you have with regards to my lightroom organization approach?
Any insight and recommendations to my situation would be greatly appreciated..   Thanks,  Jay

    LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
    Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
    I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
    I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
    Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
    The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
    Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
    It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

    The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
    You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
    Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

    I get an error message "the following files were not imprted because they could not be read (266) on Lightroom 4 on my desktop.
    No problems importing the files onto my laptop.  Using a SANDISK card reader and card.  What's going on on the desktop?

    Leanne, check the write pernissions on the folder/drive you are attempting to import into on your desktop. The message usually means "cannot be written" - a not so clear message.

  • Files imported but could not be renamed?

    I have just installed Lightroom version 4.4 onto my iMac running Snow Leopard.  I tried to import 120 photos from my Nikon D5100. I was copying the photos as Copy as DNG files. Everything seemed to go fine, but on 12 of the photos I got the following error message "some import operations were not performed.  The following files were imported but could not be renamed."
    This morning I tried to import some files from my hard drive, this time I chose to copy, again everything seemed fine and then I got the same error message on five of the photos.  The files are there but they just appear as a grey thumb nail.
    Can anyone help me with this problem.
    Thanks

    Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

    The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
    Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
    While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

  • Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

    Greetings All,
    I am having issues with a SharePoint Designer workflow.  This is a SharePoint 2013 environment, I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 and working on a SharePoint 2010 workflow.  I'm developing this as a SharePoint 2010 workflow because I need to do
    impersonation.
    The environment and workflow have been running, in the past week, without issue.  I went to add a couple steps and now I cannot publish the workflow.  While in SharePoint Designer, I receive the error:
    "Errors were found when compiling the workflow.  The workflow files were saved but cannot be run."  When I click the Advanced button on the error dialog, the message is "Unexpected error on server associating the workflow." 
    That is all the error information I have available; nothing is in the log files.
    I have investigated this error and tried the following:
    Cleared the SharePoint Designer cache.
    The WebApp.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity was at 7000 so I increased it to 10000.  Restarted the servers (which may not have been necessary) and tried again receiving the same error.  I then increased it to 30000 with the same error result.
    Since this is a large workflow, I tried created a workflow with a single action, write to workflow log, with the same error results.
    I reboot the servers and try again and now I can publish the small test workflow but not the original.  However, neither will run.  When I attempt to manually run the small test workflow on an item, I get an error: "Sorry something went wrong.
    An unexpected error occurs.  I checked the log files for the correlation id and nothing, nothing was logged for the error. ~arg~
    Also, now no workflows can be published in this web app.  Not just the one I was working on but none of them!
    Does anyone have a clue what has happened to the SharePoint 2010 workflow service?  Or some suggestions for me to try?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi Sagar,
    I appreciate it but if you see my original post, this is a SharePoint 2010 workflow that cannot be published; which has now caused all SharePoint 2010 workflows in the same web app to error.
    Your first link is specific to SharePoint 2013 workflows.
    Your second link refers to the UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity.  If you read my original post, I've already tried this and I've tried to publish a small (single activity) workflow.
    Your third link also refers to large workflows with many approval activities.  My workflow doesn't contain any approval activities.
    And you fourth link refers to 2013 workflows not 2010.
    My issue is with publishing and running a SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013.
    Thank you...

  • How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

    How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

    You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
    If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
    No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
    Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

  • LR5 won't import photos Ijust took.  Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read."  And it's ALL the photos.  never had this problem be4.  what gives?

    Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it's ALL the photos. never had this problem be4. what gives?  Using an SD card, its a 64GB 600x Speed .  I'm on a Mac 10.8.5; iPhoto has no problem importing them.

    In order to see the windows that show sharing and permissions I gave you above, you have to right click on the the item, e.g. folder, HD, etc., and this window comes up.  Then you right click on "Get Info" and the windows with S/P pop up.  In LR%, if I right click on Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    There is no option to "Get Info", and if I right click within Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
    Still no "Get Info".  If I click on the specific file (in this case "2015), this is all I get:  Last thought, yesterday out of desperation, I called the Apple store.  I am operating on Mountain Lion operating system, and Yosemite is the latest (as of 10/14).  The manager suggested that if there had been an update in LR5 that was now only compatible with this later system, maybe that was the issue and I should consider updating to Yosemite.  I had no problem downloading photos as of 9/14, but don't think I've done anymore since their update….when was the last LR5 (I'm using LR5.7 currently)?   Do you think this might be the problem with permissions?

    I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud.  No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account."  How can I resolved this?

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
