Lightroom 5.0 fails to automatically open import dialog when memory card inserted

Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect memory card and open import dialog. This has always worked fine in Lightroom 4, 3,and 2.  Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OS X 10.8.4. Manual importing works OK, card is detected just fine.

I have tested Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5 on Mac OSx 10.9.4 and find no difference in behavior.
If you have correctly set Image Capture to auto-launch Lightroom on insertion of card and you have set Lightroom to launch the Import dialog upon insertion of card, this is expected behavior:
1. If Lightroom is not open open, inserting a Memory Card will launch Lightroom without opening the Import Dialog
2. If Lightroom is open already, inserting a Memory Card will open the Import Dialog.
I can find no combination of settings in Lightroom 4 or 5 that allow you to, with Lightroom closed, insert a card and have Lightroom launch and open the Import dialog. I would sure love to see someone produce a screen vid capture of Lightroom 4 opening by itself and launching an import dialog upon card insertion with no user intervention.

  • I have LR5.7 and it won't open import dialogue when memory card inserted, but I have clicked checkbox in Edit - Preferences

    I have LR 5.7 and it won't open 'import dialogue' when I insert a memory card, but I have clicked the checkbox in Edit - Prerences.

    Have you closed and restarted Lightroom since you checked that box?

  • Can't disable option show import dialog w/ memory card detected

    Hello. Across the board, I don't want applications to open up when memory cards or cd/dvds are inserted. Adobe Lightroom counters this desire by opening when I insert a memory card.
    I am running Windows Lightroom 2.4. In pervious versions, I could disable the perferences / import / show import dialog when a memory card is detected. However, in 2.4 I uncheck this option. Close lightroom. Open lightroom. And my disabled selection didn't save. It has it checked. And...Lightroom continues to open when I insert a memory card.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    I have tried running Lightroom as admin to see if it was a registry permissions issues. The options still didn't stay unset.
    Thanks for your advice.

    You don't say which OX you're running, but if it is a Vista 64 bit version just a few notes down you will find the answer:

    Essentially it is a bug in 2.4 on Vista 64 bit systems and must be fixed by Adobe.
    I do experience the bug on my Vista system but not on my iMac.

  • Automatically delete imported photos from memory card

    I cant find this option anywhere, and with other photo management systems it's a fairly standard option, but how do you automatically delete the photos off the memory card once you have successfully imported them??

    You don't. LR is conservative about destroying stuff, and wants you to put the card back into the camera to clear it.

  • Why does Lightroom 5.2 & my mac crash on import from a memory card reader?

    I'm running Lightroom 5.2 on my iMac (OS X v 10.7.5).
    When I try to upload raw files from my Compact Flash memory card reader (Lexar USB 3.0) the files begin to download. When it gets part way through download the download stops and I get the spinning wheel of death.
    No matter what I try I cannot get Lightroom to shutdown or even the computer to shut down.
    My only option is to disconnect the computer from the power.
    When I re-start the images are downloaded but I do have to start from where I had left off to complete the download.
    Does anyone have any idea's what I should do?
    This computer has never run Lightroom before so I do not have a previous version of it on the HD.
    Cheers

    1. Download the drivers and/or other software required for the OS version you're running.
    2. Install the downloaded software/drivers.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. Insert the memory card into your card reader.
    5. Copy the entire contents of the card to your media drive - do NOT  alter the folder structure.
    6. Launch FCP and use Log & Transfer on the files on your media drive.

  • How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

    How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
    I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

    Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
    Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

  • Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled, not in numerical, chronological or any order. Whats up?

    Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled. Not in numerical, chronological, or any order.

    Hi waynecook.  More information is needed in order to provide a helpful response.
    What settings are you using in the Import dialog?
    Can you sort the images once they are imported?
    Are they sorted/sortable in the Import dialog?
    Into what container are you importing them?
    Is your installation of Aperture and of OS X completely up-to-date?

  • Import dialogue fails to open when CF card inserted

    Hi
    Despite being configured to do so the import dialogue fails to open automatically when I insert a CF card, although Lightroom starts. I have searched the Adobe site for answers with no luck and am unable to find an email contact address for Adobe Lightroom! Can anyone help please?

    Andrew,
    I too have witnessed the same behavior with XP Pro. My workaround is to start LR before inserting the memory card. If LR is already open, inserting the card leads to the normal import dialog screen.

  • Lightroom won't open Import dialog box

    Lightroom was working fine, but recently started locking up as soon as I click on import to bring up the import dialog box.  Other than that, lightroom appears to be running fine and zippy, but as soon as I click the button or go through file menu it freezes.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Core i7 with 8 GB of ram.  Things I have tried are below:
    Restoring Windows to before last critical update.
    Uninstalling Antivirus SW
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling Lightroom (reinstall was fresh from Creative Cloud to make sure it was the most recent version)
    Creating a new catalog
    Updating HW drivers
    Tried with cards/reader/usb devices in and out
      Any ideas because my next step is to format the HD and try a fresh install of windows and everything else?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I do not see where you have tried to reset your preferences file. That is much quicker than a reformat:

  • Can I set FF to automatically open in Google when I open a new tab instead of having to also click on the Home button?

    I often open a new tab and I'd like it to automatically open in Google.com rather than a blank page. Is there a way to make this happen? (I know I can click on the + to open a new tab and then click on the Home icon at the far right of the web address bar but I'd like to have Google open in one click instead of two).

    You can middle-click the Home button to have your homepage open in a new tab. Or you can install this extension and set its' option for your homepage.<br />

  • Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

    Hello.
    Hope we are all well.
    I am wondering if there was a  way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

    That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

  • Import Dialog not opening when Camera Card inserted

    Have set this option in LR2 preferences. However as I also have PS Elements 6 this loader opens instead. Have set auto play for the card reader to open LR to no avail. Have tried re-installing LR no change. Using Windows XP.

    Lee, I to have just discovered that the import dialog does not pop up. The help says it is supposed to work that way so I thought I had some kind of problem. Are you saying the help is wrong and it has been changed. Not documented?
    I am also on Windows XP, SP2 and I cannot figure out how to make auto import work. Is there some set up that may not be documented on how to do this?
    I mean I can always go file>import from disk or file>import from device but I was surprised to find the import dialog not pop up when a card is inserted. The check box is there in preferences>import to suggest along with help menu, that it should work.
    Appreciate any feedback.
