Adobe LR3 will not import image files. Running on Mac OS 10.6.4

When I try to import images into LR3 I get the errors show on attached screenshots. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem and I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well.
I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)". They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter. I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either). I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then. The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
Any suggestions?
Update: I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error. I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
Update #2: I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images. Lightroom 2 imports just fine. This is becoming infuriating.
Anyone have any suggestions yet?

Aperture 3 will not import image files on hard drives (need bug check).

For the past several days, I've been encountering an issue where Aperture will not recognize photos on a local hard drive (internal or external) for import, but will recognize the exact same image if it is located on a flash card. In fact, I can drag an image from a card to my desktop and it will not be recognized. If I drag it back to the card, it is available for import again. It is not a 100% occurrence however, but doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Restarting Aperture does not help, but this is not to say it won't be working fine the next day.
I am investigating whether anyone else has this issue for a possible bug report.
Thanks

I'm having this problem right now. If I switch to a flash card reader with a card inserted, it immediately shows the thumbnails of files available for import. I just finished importing a backup folder of images and that worked as expected, but going back to other folders show nothing inside of them to import.
The File Types panel from Import Settings shows no exclusions checked and the RAW+JPEG Pairs settings do nothing (in any case, this should only apply to RAW+JPEG pairs, which I don't have).
Anybody else find anything that worked?

Premiere pro will not import .mov files

Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Adobe 11 will not read my files.

I have downloaded Adobe 11 several times, with and without the anti-virus set, and though it recognises my files Microsoft reports it had 'encountered a problem and is closing it down' when I try to open them. When I restore the system to Adobe 9 it opens my old files but, obviously, not those in '11' format. Any ideas?

Well, it's like this. Someone sends me some printed information. A bill.
A report , It downloads. I try to open it and it tells me I need Adobe
Reader 11 to do so and gives me a link. . I download from the link. It
takes an age but in the end it tells me I have successfully downloaded Adobe
Reader 11. When I try to open the file Microsoft tells me they have
encountered a problem and are closing it down. When I try to open any of my
saved Adobe Reader files I then get the same message. I have to use System
Restore to get the facility of Adobe Reader 9 back. Then it opens my saved
files again.

After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

Your statement is so vague that I have no idea what you are trying to do, or what goes wrong. Please provide some details!

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

Hi,
I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc. My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added. I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos. I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import. I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site. It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this. I try and it worked. As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size. How can this be acheive ?
Thanks for your help

Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.

You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.

LR 3 will not import images

I just installed LR 3 on a brand new MacPro. I imported 27,000 files in from an external hard drive, which I had already put through LR3 on my PC. (Yes I tried to export the catalogue from the PC to the MacPro, after four failed attempts and hours on the phone with Adobe tech support I gave up and did it this way.)
These images all imported successfully. Then I tried to import from a CF card using a good card reader. The images all showed up in the import preview screen I selected the location to which I wanted them to be copied and an import preset. But LR will not import them - it gives me an error message: The files were not imported because they cannot be read." These are files from a D700, the same camera I have been importing files from on the PC for over a year. I purged the camera raw cache preferences & tried again with the same result. Using another good card reader reached the same result. I can open the files with no problem in PS CS4. The files are fine.
I then moved the files to a folder on the desktop and tried to import from there. This time the error message is: "LR could not copy files to the requested location" and nothing imported as well.
Any ideas?

Thanks for getting in touch, away from the desk at the moment, but
1. The installation process was a nightmare, check the forum for how many people had a problem with that
2. As for screen shot, it is just the import screen the moment after you hit "import" it just hangs I will comply upon my return
3. As for where "I" went wrong, as the process has been precisely what I have consistently done for the last 6 years I'm fairly confident this is a software situation- I won't say never, but I'm good on this because LR3 can still be utilized in the same way AND I can create a catalog that LR 4.1 will open, the only workaround so far.
Thanks,
Daniel

Adobe Reader will not read pdf files on internet

I have photoshop elements 10 with all updates but it will not import raw files from my sony rx100

Can anyone help. I have adobe elements 10 with all updates but it will not import .arw (raw) files from my sony rx100

Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

Solution when iMovie or FCE will not import AVCHD files or MTS files

Problem: iMovie or FCE will not import your footage from SDHC camera with files in AVCHD structure, or cannot import .mts or .m2ht files (which you may have copied from AVCHD structure. When mounting camera, you can see the camera as disk but iMovie will not try to import footage. If you point Final Cut Express (FCE) to the file structure, it fails to recognize it as a valid file structure. (I have Canon HF10, but understand that this problem is common on many camera models, maybe camera has been turned off at the wrong moment?)
Cause: Faulty file structure on camera or disk
Soultion: Rebuild AVCHD file structure using an AVCHD editing tool. I found multiAVCHD (multiavchd.deanbg.com), which is not perfect, but will do the job. And it is freeware (possible to donate).
I would like comments about others experience - but at least this worked for me:
- Download and install the software (Yes, you need Windows)
- Set the right parameters: mostly default, I didn´t want any recoding. But tick off to keep the source files!
- Select the AVCHD source (or source .mts or m2ts files) and destination
- Start rebuilding: select output for Sony Playstation 3
- Put the AVCHD file structure on a USB stick
*If using iMovie:*
Start iMovie and plug the USB into the mac (virtual disk (.dmg file) or other media should work fine as well). The USB may contain other files as well, but the root of AVCHD must be named AVCHD.
iMovie recognizes the drive as a camera. All is not 100% well, as the dates for making the footage is lost, and the thumbnails are distorted if seen at all, until clicked on. But then import worked for most clips. Some clips gave an error message, but FCE was able to import these (Log&transfer).
*If using FCE:* Use Log and transfer on this file structure (need not be on external disk)
If you have a better solution - please share! I suppose there are other tools out there which may correct the file structure with less side effects and no errors.
If you go for this solution - remember the author of multiAVCHD, he will surely appreciate a donation. I guess everybody will agree that this is worth at least as much as you paid for your SDHC card.
Why a function to correct faulty file structure is not included in iMovie and FCE is beyond my understanding!
I notice many users salvage their footage by converting the .MTS files, using Handbrake etc. But I believe rebuilding the file structure is faster and with no quality reduction.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone is still subscribed to this and can help.
I have a Sony HDR-SR10. Yesterday I was able to connect it to my iMac by USB and view all the footage in the import window of iMovie (08).
Last night, to save time sorting at home, I took it to work with me and using the software that came with the camera installed on a Windows PC went through to see which files were rubbish and could be deleted before importing to speed up the transfer on to my mac.
Today, my Mac won't recognise the Camera!?!?!?!
Have I inadvertently reformatted the .MTS files or the camera itself, to windows or something? CanI change it back??
I'm currently creating a new disk image of the camera on my Mac in the vain hope that it will work and be recognised by the Mac as a camera. I can see from the progress box the following text:
Creating Image "Sony Camcorder Media.dmg"
=====Progress Bar=====
Reading (WindowsFAT32 :1)...
Which is why I think I've done something seriously wrong!! .. because it mentions windows!
HELP! HELP! HELP!
I have my entire honeymoon and the first year of my son on this camera and I want to edit with iMovie! Especially as I just paid for iLife 09 upgrade!

Itunes & numbers will not import excel files

I have tried with several different files and with different types. But numbers will not import any excel files to my ipad. Is there something i am missing?

Have you copied the files from iTunes to the Numbers program? Go to the My Spreadsheets page in Numbers and tap the in box (Open box with in arrow). You will see a couple of option with one of those being "Copy from iTunes". Try that and the file should appear in My Spreadsheets.

New Adobe Reader will not older version files

Is that true : Adobe is likely to come out with a new version of Adobe reader that will not read Acrobat files which are created in older versions like 6 or 7

It is true that newer Reader versions are more sensitive to old (or new) documents that contain errors. But for correct documents, all new Reader versions are fully backwards compatible.
