LR4 Not importing all CR2 files?

Upgraded yesterday & noticed this phenomena. . . "preview Unavailable"
did some more shooting today and same thing.
when I downlaoded yesterday the images were not there, so I did a fresh import & it tells me there are no new images for import as I have 'don't import suspected duplicates ticked. I unticked this option and selectively imported the missing files - they came up but next to a duplicate thumbnail had that ? in the top right -
so, what is going wrong??
Thanx!

How are you importing your images, via a cable to the camera, from a card reader, or are you copying the images to a hard-drive outside of LR then importing using Copy, Move or Add?
The second situation can occur if you accidentally used Move instead of Add when you re-imported your images, so they changed places on your hard-drive, and the old version won’t be there, anymore, although they should be at their new place.

IPhoto 6.06 Will Not Import RAW CR2 files Taken Through an Uncoupled Lens

If I use adapters to couple my Canon 20D to a telescope (which is an electronically uncoupled lens and has no lens-related exif data), iPhoto freezes and will not import a RAW Canon CR2 file taken through any telescope. It imports such jpegs just fine, and Preview can open either. iPhoto, however, must be forced to quit under the Apple menu.
It doesn't matter where the RAW file is...in the camera, on the desktop, in a card reader, or on a CD.
This is an obvious bug in iPhoto.

Do you have access to an Apple store, or a friend
with Aperture? It would be interesting to see if
Aperture has the same problem.
Not that it really matters, but a bug in both
iPhoto and Aperture is more likely to be fixed!
I don't know anybody who uses Aperture, and my nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away in Cincinnati.
I'm able to work around the problem since Canon's Digital Photo Professional, working with Canon's EOS Utilty, imports and processes these images just fine, as does Photoshop CS.
However, I miss the premise that iPhoto should be the central organizer and storage vessel for all of one's digital photos, making naming, finding, and backing them up a snap, even though a different program may be used for processsing them.
As an aside, Canon's download site warns that EOS Utility 1.1.1 will not work on Intel Macs; it does...with full functionality.
Thanks for your response.

Aperture will not import all CR2 (iPhoto is fine....)

I'm currently attempting to move from a PC to a Mac. For the most part this has been a positive experience however Aperture is starting to bug me.
My photo library has been copied across and some old NEF files converted to JPEG. The library is located in a folder in the Pictures directory. The entire library imports fine into iPhoto.
When attempting to import into Aperture I get seemingly random rejection of CR2 files. Photos prior to the failure import fine. Photos after the failure import fine. Around 20% of images are rejected.
When the failure occurs no error messages are sent to the console. Examination of photo metadata shows not significant differences between photos that work and photos that do not. Changing the file name to something shorter does not help.
Restarting Aperture does not work. Restarting the OS does not help. Downgrading to RAW 2.1 does not help.
The only similar report I have found was from people having issues with CF cards, and the solution was to copy the files locally and then import....
I'm not going to convert my CR2 files to DNG or JPEG just because Aperture is buggy. Other than that any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (is there an Aperture log file somewhere ?)

Thanks !

I seem to be having the same problem. I was to shoot an entire stage production with a canon 50D and when I only had a 4gb card at my disposal, I wanted to take some more pics so I went with Raw2. apparently aperture doesnt like this. it imported the project but all it gives me are thumbnails and in the canvas it says "unsupported image format".
what do they expect me to do...spin back time and reshoot the entire production? no i dont think so...apple needs to get on this (if they havent already) and make this work.

Lightroom 1.2 not importing RAW (CR2) files from 40D

Just upgraded to LR 1.2 and thought it would solve my problems but find that it doesnt appear to import CR2 files, either directly from a card reader or from a file already saved to the computer. It says files use an unsupported color mode. These were shot in RAW (not sRAW) + JPG and others were just RAW.
Do I need to change any setting in Lightroom to make it work with the new RAW settings?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ooops... Me bad. It works fine. For some reason 1.2 didnt install the first time I ran the installer. After finding that it was still 1.1, I ran the installer again and it took. Now its importing 40D files just fine.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Lightoom 5.7 not importing ALL jpeg files when importing

Hello, I am repeatedly having issues with Lightroom 5.7 64 bit on Win 7 computer on the import option from a file on hard drive. The file has 40 pictures, mostly all jpeg...and after the import - add function, only about 20 are imported. I have tried this multiple times and it still happens. Any ideas would be appreciated.

There is an option in the Lightroom preferences to treat JPEG's next to raw images as separate images. If that option isn't checked, and some of your images are raw files, the raw files will be imported but the JPEG images will not. So check to make sure you have that option activated.

How do I import raw CR2 files from camera into LR5? I get an error message

I'm trying to import raw CR2 files from my camera into LR5. I get a message "Files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I know they are not damaged. Does LR5 support raw files? I can do this in Bridge and it converts them to dng files. This would be ideal for me if both could be done in LR5.

Not sure what the problem is if you say the files re recognized in Bridge? You could test the CR2 files by downloading the free Adobe DNG converter - latest version 8.6 (keep your CR2 originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)and then import the DNG’s. It’s an extra step but I use it all the time to batch process into final folders.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

New to Lightroom, problem importing raw CR2 files.

I am new to Lightroom and am having trouble importing my CR2 raw photo files. In the "import" section I select my SD card that contains the raw image files. All .jpeg files on the card show up as thumbnails but the CR2 files show "preview not available for this file." I select one of the CR2 thumbnails anyway, select a destination folder on my external hard drive and click "import." A window pops up that says, "this file is not recognized by the raw support format in Lightroom." I'm using Lightroom 4.4 and am working with a Windows Vista operating system (on an old, junky laptop). My camera is a Canon 70D and am shooting in RAW+JPEG. I also downloaded the Adobe .DNG converter 6.3 to try to convert the files before importing them into Lightroom and it is also not recognizing and importing my CR2 files. Not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

I would recommend downloading DNG Converter 8.2 which is compatible with Vista.
The latest version 8.6 requires W7 or W8

Canon 5D Mark II cannot import RAW .CR2 Files

For some reason I can no longer import my .CR2 files from my Canon 5D MarkII. This is a new problem as I have had Aperture for some time now. Is there a way to go back to an earlier RAW processor? This latest one from May may be causing the issue... Any guidance?

Sorry, in Aperture it just comes up with a list of files that it could not import.

When I try to get them into iPhoto it says that they are an unsupported file.
I thought they were in iPhoto already.
I am trying to get the files from my laptop on iphoto to my imac on Aperture. I am doing this via the network. On once side I tried a direct iphoto import (did not work) and then tried to do it pointing at the actual CR2 files and that did not work.
You should just copy the iPhoto library over to the iMac and then run Aperture and import the iPhoto library. Doing this over the network is just making your life harder. Or else install Aperture on the laptop do the import there and copy the Aperture library over.

IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
Any ideas anyone?

I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still, like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about 9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos. copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

Iphoto does not import all items from camera

I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hi imac2,
I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.

I accidentally imported all media files on my iMac into iMovie.

I accidentally imported all media files on my iMac into iMovie. Now I have over 10,000 "clips" in a single event library. It is massive and causing performance issues. Some are photos, some are movies, some are music/voice memos and many are stock computer icons/images. If I delete them from iMove (via move to trash) via select all, am I deleting them from iMovie or from my iMac?

No problem! Also, a quick bit of information. If you did not already know this, when you empty the trash, it does not actually delete your files. It just allows the space that those files were taking up to be overwritten. That's why you can go to your Time Machine and recover these files. So, your computer will not improve in the speed department that much after deletion. I'm pretty sure there's a way to completely wipe files off of your computer, therefore actually regenerating space, however I do not know how to get through that process. You may want to ask this in a new separate discussion. Also, please respond to my reply (with a link) right after your add the conversation if you want to create the thread, because I'd like to know too, based on the fact that I cleared 259.82GB off of my computer within the last few months in one sitting.

Hi,

You need to have a gmail account.
Gmail can handle a vcard file that contains multiple contacts
In a next step you can then synch the BB with Gmail including mail, contacts and calendar.
Maybe this is an option (I quite like it as I always ave my contacts stored in the cloud and in case my BB is broken I do not care as I am not loosing anything...
