When trying to import photos from a memory card I get error "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.". When i first installed Lightroom i was able to import from the very same card because there are photos in my library. I

Someone please help...I am very annoyed with Lightroom as I have been trying to import photos with no success

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

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.

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?

Why am I getting this error message when I try to import? "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (645)" I can see them :(

Depends on your operating system

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

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.

Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
error, Location: 2'
When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.

File cannot be opened because there are no pages - Reader 9 & X

I have an old hydro bill in PDF format from 2000. I can open this PDF in Adobe Reader 8 and earlier with no issues whatsoever (i.e. double-clicking the PDF in Windows Explorer). The problem started with Adobe 9 & continues with Adobe X. When I double-click the file, Adobe opens but tells me the "File cannot be opened because there are no pages." More recent hydro bill PDFs can be opened with no issue.
Googled & searched the forums but haven't found any earlier reference to this particular error though there is a vague recollection that someone complained somewhere about this or something similar with Adobe 9 some months ago but there was no solution to be found then.
Using Windows Vista Ultimate here & have uninstalled Reader X & returned to Reader 8 pending a solution.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. Disappointing if true.
Thing is... it's an old hydro bill... I'm just keeping it for posterity's sake (a bill from when I was paying for nuclear power!?!)
Most troubling and disconcerting.
So, who should be sued? Adobe? My hydro company? ;-) Just kidding.
Anyway... some time gone by...
- re-installed Adobe X
- as per ghostscript.com, downloaded Ghostscript v9.01 & Gsview v4.9 (McAfee okayed them)
- installed Ghostscript & Gsview
- started Gsview
- dragged & dropped one of the offending hydro bill PDFs from Windows Explorer into Gsview
- from File menu picked Convert
- for Device pdfwrite, upped Resolution from the default 600 to 720
- via the Properties button in the Convert dialogue, adjusted CompatibiliyLevel to 1.2, clicked OK in Properties dialogue
- clicked OK again back in the Convert dialogue
- in the Output Filename dialogue, made the new file a "b" copy of the original filename
- clicked Save
The new file is a tenth the size of the old one & opens without incident in Adobe X. Ghostscript works well... thanks.
But... is this really the optimal solution for businesses & governments? It's not as if the old files were on vellum and here we are like old monks, transcribing for the king. Good grief where are we going?

Hi all
Something else that may be at play here is the file format involved. Generally speaking, "web friendly" image formats are .GIF, .JPG and .PNG. .BMP isn't really considered to be a "web friendly" image format.

When I import photos to lightroom CC I get a message Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read.

Dsc_5122nef dsc_5123JPG Everything worked fine for the last week. The only thing changed is I removed lightroom 5. How can I reinstall Lightroom 5

Its a 100% failure. I was trying to import 37 photos all failed. I can still import into Lightroom 5. I also can import into Lightroom CC on my other Mac. I tried importing from different cards, my other 7100 and my 5300 same problem. I have tried every combination of card reader, camera and computer I have. The only only time the message shows up is when I try to import into Lightroom CC on my 27 in Mac. Thanks Art

The following files were not imported... could not be read

I continually receive this error message when using Lightroom 5 to import raw files from a Canon 650D.
Sometimes LR will import some of the images, more often none.
I've tried a complete reinstall of the computer (OS X 10.8.4)
I've tried updating to LR5.2 release candidate.
I've tried deleting my 'Preference' file and letting LR recreate it.
I still get this problem over and over and over again and it's really starting to become annoying.
I have permission to write to the target directory.
LR sometimes gets one or two files, then the error.
LR is always slow slow slow when attempting to import, far slower than LR4 ever was.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this just a shortcoming of LR5 - no images?
I've passed a raw file to someone else who confirmed there was nothing 'unusual' about it and was able to import it to their LR5 install.
Glancing through google/these forums, it seems like a common problem with lots of suggestions but no solutions that work for me. Please help.
*edit - I should clarify - the full text of the error is 'Some import operations were not performed. The following files could not be read.'
Followed by the number, and listing of files, I'd really like to PP.

Thanks. Good question. Direct from camera via USB.
I attempted via Image Capture. This timed out partway through the first time (trying 150 images) - "your camera has powered down, x images not imported (or words to this effect." It was still slow.
It did succeed after 2 attempts with Image Capture. I could then import to LR5 from Hard Drive, no problem.
I'm using original Canon USB cable, SDXC card (supported by my Canon 650D) is formatted in camera. It's a 64GB SanDisk. 45MB\s. Class 10 and has never exhibited any unusual behaviour either in camera or in SD reader.
I purged the caches as suggested.
I also reviewed all of the import settings and changed them a little in the hope it makes a difference (Build Smart Previews = ON)
I've just reformatted the SDXC card in camera. Fired off 20 shots. Attempted via LR5 and worked first time.
My experience so far is that this problem will reoccur. Probably when I have >150 shots on the card.
I'll wait until it happens again and try a more controlled comparison, direct from Camera, via Image Capture/HDD and time things too.
I have tried a second SDHC card previously when this error first occured. This exhibited the same behaviour, suggesting either the camera or LR5 or OSX or ?

When I first downloaded firefox I was able to blog on blogger. Now I can't see pictures on my blog and I can't create a new post. What is the problem?

I downloaded firefox last week and everything was fine. I was able to use blogger and add new post to my blog. Now my blog does not show the title picture and some of the post pictures will not show up either.
The page to create a new post looks funny and different from when I first downloaded firefox. The toolbox to edit the text/font is not there. The spellcheck is also missing. I can't add pictures or video because that is missing too.
I can use IE to blog, but I liked firefox better until these problems started.

No, you need to (re)install the current Firefox version.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

The following files were not imported because the files could not be read.(254)

This is an issue that just happened and I don't know if it is related to the upgrade to 4.3 or not. Can some one help me with this, please? This message comes up when I try to import to light room. A box comes up that says "Import Results" then the error message shows with a group of file numbers that wouldn't import. I have looked at everything I can think of to remedy this situation but I am not finding any thing.

Are you importing directly from a card or do you copy the files to your hard disk and then import them from there? I've found that the second method seems to be more reliable.
