LR5 Import Can't See Pix

Several months ago, I installed LR5 as an upgrade to LR4. About a week ago, I started using LR5. For the first few days all went well and I imported about a thousand pix. The next time I sat down to import more pix, the LR5 Import module couldn't see the pix. It could see the folders fine but not the pix. The LR4 Import module had no trouble seeing the pix, and the LR5 Develop module had no problem seeing the imported pix. I tried restoring the system to a date prior to starting to use LR5 and that didn't help. Then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR5. That didn't help either. Finally I tried unistalling and reinstalling both 4 and 5. That too didn't help. Any ideas about what might be causing this problem?
I tried installing both on another computer and that worked fine. However, I don't want to use it on that computer. But I did notice that I was asked for the serial number of LR4 when I installed it on the new computer which wasn't asked when I reinstalled them on the original computer. This tells me that the uninstall didn't clear everything
Also, a long time ago, I was studying Visual Basic. One of the exercises involved creating a picture viewer. This utility required a list of file extensions that the utility was supposed to "see". Is it possible that LR5 has such a list that may have become corrupted or wiped out?

If you can open the images in Preview, save them as regular TIFFs (or try JPG or PNG for smaller image files). Then import those converted images to Keynote.

  • Aperture Import Can't See Apple Desktop Folders

    For whatever reason, when importing pictures from my Desktop, Aperture can't see any folders on the Desktop.  I can see folders from other places within the Mactintosh HD.
    What is likely the reason and what do I need to change to let Aperture see the folder structure of the Desktop?
    Running the latest version of Aperture in Mountain Lion.

    So is it only the Desktop that Aperture is messing up or does it happen to  all the folders shown in the Import pane?
    The next step would be to create a new user, log in as that user and try Aperture from that account on a new library. This will help narrow down the problem. If it occurs in the new user account also then you have a system wide problem and reinstalling Aperture would be my next recommendation.
    If it doesn't happen in the news user account then the problem is in your user environment.
    One thing to try before all that would be to create a new empty library and run Aperture on that. I doubt the problem is library related but this would at least confirm that.

  • Can't see my Pictures folder when importing in LR5 CC on Mac

    I've been using LR5 for a while. When I use the import function I usually set it to import into subfolders By date. And I put them into my Image Master Library folder in my Pictures folder on my Mac. So I end up with my images in Macintosh HD/Users/karl/Pictures/Master Image Library/2014/04/29 for example.
    However today when I try to import the only folders I can see under my Macintosh HD are Application, Library, System and User Information. I can't see my Users/karl/Pictures folder any more. I'm not sure if I've done something to stop me seeing it, but I can navigate to it fine in the Finder and see all my images that I've previously imported in there. Plus the images are still showing up in LR ok when I use the Library tab as normal.
    I'm really stuck as at the moment I can't import my images into the right place at all. Is this a bug, a setting I've changed, and OS feature???
    Any advice really appreciated!!
    Thanks

    I have the same problem and can't find the reason...
    I updated to Mavericks a week ago... Don't know if this is related, because it worked before...

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • Can't see imported music.

    When I import CD's they do not appear in any file on iTunes.  This is ever since I purchased iTunes Match.  I'm guessing I need to alter the location or settings, but having tried several different options, I can't see any of my recently imported discs.
    My software is fully up to date.  I have tried a system restart.
    Any ideas??

    How do I check my iCloud contents?  Via the Store?  They are definitely somewhere in the system, because when I try to reinstall the discs, I get a message saying that they already exist!!
    So I'm sure if you can tell me how to check my iCloud, I'll find them!! Thanks!!

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

  • I can't import my favorites from FF on Windows XP hard drive because it can't see the Favorites HTML file.

    My old computer was windows XP and I had a second, larger hard drive with Ubuntu on it. My computer crashed because of the motherboard. I had both hard drives moved to a newer computer (motherboard from 2006) and computer could not boot to windows. It's now booted to the Ubuntu drive and I can access my old info on the windows XP drive. I would like to import my favorites from FF on my windows XP drive to my FF on my Ubuntu drive but "import data from another browser" doesn't find anything because it's looking on my Ubunto drive not my windows XP drive. I tried creating an HTML document of my favorites on the windows drive but when trying to import the HTML file of my favorites on Ubuntu, it can't see it...but Dolphin can see the HTML file I created.

    Did you use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML ?
    Does the HTML backup have a .html file extension?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2

  • Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • Importing raw + jpg, how can I see both?

    when my camera is set to Raw + Jpg and i import into LR, the thumbnail I see says it is the raw , how can I see the jpg? Both Raw and jpg images are listed in Finder. thank you

    You need to configure the Import preferences so that JPEGs are treated as separate files. See attachment.

  • 2 Qs: a: Can't see library in Pictures; b:How to import an old library

    I have a couple of problems with iPhoto.
    *1. Invisible Library*
    For some reason my library doesn't appear in the Finder when I go to the Pictures folder, however, I can see photos in my library when I open iPhoto.
    I've tried a spotlight search for iPhoto library but nothing appears.
    I have also tried quitting iPhoto and restarting holding the option key down. At the choice menu I cannot see any iPhoto library in the Pictures folder (or elsewhere).
    Is there some way I can make this invisible folder visible?
    *2. Import old library from external hard drive*
    I have a library stored on an external hard drive with several years worth of photos on it. I would like to import the photos but when I try, iPhoto imports everything including thumbnails, modified photos, originals etc. I end up with thousands of duplicate photos. How can I import only the original photos and/or photos that have been modified from this library?
    Thanks for your help
    Peter

    Peter:
    1 - in the library Control click on a thumbnail and select "Show File" in the contextual menu. When you get to the file in the Finder window you can use the Path button at the top of the Finder window to see where the library is located.
    It might be in a hidden folder for some reason. Go to the Finder->Go->Go to folder... menu and enter "/volumes" and hit return. If the library is there move it to the desktop and then into the Pictures folder. That will keep the events, albums, keywords, etc. intact for both libraries.
    2 - your best bet is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the external library into the one on your boot drive.
    Are you running iPhoto 7 (08)? In iPhoto 7 when you import another library it ignores any file in thj folder Data folder, i.e. the thumbnails. So all you get are the originals and the modified files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
