Problems importing photos to Lightroom 5.7 on iMac with Yosemite
I have photoshop 5.7..creative cloud and it is installed on a iMac late 2014 27 retina display with Yosemite operating system.. Lightroom seems to work fine except it will not impost photos from any camera I load up to it.. I can upload photos to iPhoto but not to lioghtroom.. any suggestions?> Thanks
That doesn't make any sense. If you can load the images into iPhoto, you should be able to load them into Lightroom. What I guess is going on is that you have the wrong destination folder selected in Lightroom. If your destination is in a place where Lightroom cannot write files (this is true for both the windows and mac os versions) it will throw an error that it cannot read the files. Very counterintuitively it will then tell you that because it cannot write to the location. So check to make sure the destination selected is in your home folder (typically inside Pictures) instead of the root level of your hard drive or another location where it shouldn't go.

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?
Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.
I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl
thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

Hello,
I have a display problem when I try to import photos into Lightroom.
I use the version 5.2.
The problem can be viewed in the following video.
At the begining you can view that there is something weird as under the folder "Panoramas" there is a grey block where there should be the rest of the folders onmy disk.
Then, I try to select a folder on my disk MacHD or SaveSSD and everything is ok.
And when I come back on my disk MacSSD, everything is going wrong (it begins when I click on "Panoramas").
Any idea how to fix this ?My video was just to illustrate the display problem.
As I said before I had it when I import from my SD card. My common workflow is importing from the SD card to the MacSSD disk, with a renaming. That's why I choose copy and not just Add to the catalog.
By the way, I had another strange thing. In the Folders on the left side of the Library module I got 2 times the same name (folder "2013").
I right-clicked and refesh folder, LR asked me to merge the both folder "2013" and it somehow seems to solve the import problem.
I don't really get what I did....... -
I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4.
I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4. No problems with Lightroom 3.3, seems to be due to the 3.4 update.
Connected Nikon D80 directly to laptop (MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5). Upon import (RAW) get error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Previews show up OK. I'm importing to an Iomega external HD with 321 GB available, and "Make a Second Copy To" a Maxtor external HD with 300 GB available.
Also tried using a SanDisk card reader (ImageMate SDDR-99 V3) with same results.
I've tried 3 different SD cards: Kingston 2GB, PNY 4GB, and Lexar 2GB, all with same results.
I've tried importing JPG photos from Nikon Coolpix S6000, with same results.
I've even copied JPG files to laptop HD, and tried importing that way. Get same error message.
I've optimized the catalog, and still won't work. (Catalog contains 14,422 images.)
JPGs import fine into iPhoto on another computer (Mac G4).
Also tried different USB ports on laptop, with same results.
Any suggestions...Problem resolved...Ran disk repair on Iomega HD. Disk Utility found and repaired problems. Uploads to Lightroom now function as normal.

New problem importing photos videos
since I upgraded my iphone 5 to ios7, I having a problem importing photos and videos to my pc? I have Windows 7. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-) -

Problem Importing photos from camera to iPhoto
Help. For a while I had no problems importing photos from my camera now I get the following error message:- /private/var/folders/CC/CC5eraW2GGCddoAX3DUGjE+TM/-Tmp-/iPhoto/PICT1015.JPG
Does anyone know what this means? What I have done to my computer to cause this? and how to fix it. Thank you.Sam
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Launch Image Capture (in your Apps Folder) and use it to move the pics to the desktop. Then try import from there.
If that works, then use your camera to reformat your card, and see if that works in the future.

Importing photos in Lightroom 3. Not working.
I just tried to import photos into Lightroom 3 and it said it can't give me a preview. And if I still import, there is nothing there. I've imported before from the same camera. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a nikon D3100 and I'm working on Windows 7. thanks
Thanks, That was it. Not obvious and kind of annoying. I created a collection with the images and am able to sort there.
Thanks! -
Dear All,
I would like to presente myself , my name is Pascal Poitevin and my hobby is photography and particularly astro photography. I am writing because I have an issue to import photos to lightroom.
I have just install try lightroom 3.3 64bits.
My questions is when I want to import the photos jpeg format from the internal drive, I can see them but when there are imported or zoomed I see a black grey screen. Is it due to the format of the photos or to the setting?
How I can solve this issue?
Sincerely yours
Pascal PoitevinDear Pascal,
could you have a look here and did you follow these rules?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?
First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem. -
I have Lightroom 5 on my iMac with OS X 10.9.5. I have lost all my (10,500 pics) "developed" settings. Every picture went back to its original setting. How can I restore? Please help. Thanks, GY
Thank you for your questions/advice. The answer for your 1st question is yes, and "may be" to your 2nd question. Fortunately, I had exported the recently developed photos into my external head drive. After reverting back to the original catalog, I have re-imported those developed photos. Now everything is restored. I need to learn more about the subtleties in using the Lightroom.
Thanks again,

How do I download my DVD Lightroom 5 on my iMac with no drive?
How do I download my DVD Lightroom 5 on my iMac with no DVD drive? Is there another way to get the program on my computer? I have a trial copy currently on my computer.
Just download the version from Adobe.com here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=113
and use your serial number. This is the current version and newer than what is on your DVD.
