Autoimport when inserting a memory card

Hi,
When inserting a memory card in the reader, the dialog that popped up used to give me the option to import using LR. But this option is gone now after updating from 2.4 to 2.5. In the LR preferences, the setting that enables automatic import when a card is inserted is turned on.
What's wrong? How to get the automatic import back?
Windows XP.

The bug that caused LR to start importing every time a card was attached to the machine in LR 2.4 has now been fixed so this annoying behaviour has gone away.
If you want it back, then ensure that the "show import dialogue when memory card is detected" in the Import dialog of the Preference is selected and also ensure that the Windows OS setting for auto play for data cards is set to LR.

  • How NOT to start LR when inserting a memory card

    Every time I stick a flashcard in my USB port, LR loads. I have checked "Do Nothing" in the auto import parameters *and* do not have "Enable Auto Import" checked, and yet .....
    Anyone know how to disable this feature?
    Thanks - Chuck B

    It could be that the hide inactive icons feature is hiding it. One of two options may be hiding it. The first is that it is inactive and you'd need to select the blue arrow to expand the icon tray in order to see it.
    The second is that one of the hide inactive icons option is to never show an icon. To see if that is the case, Right-Mouse-Button on the start button, select properties, choose the Taskbar tab, and select the Customize button at the bottom beside the Hide Inactive selection.
    You'll see the list of icons in the tray and the option in effect for each.

    When I insert my memory card from my camera, iPhoto opens. How can I make Preview the default?

    Denny,
    Open Image Capture which is located in your Applications Folder.
    Connect your device to your computer, then turn the device on.If the device is locked with a passcode, enter it.
    Select the device in the Devices list.
    Choose Image Capture from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu.Click “Show device settings” if you don’t see that pop-up menu.

  • PLease insert a memory card message

    When I left my last job they let me keep a C7280 Photosmart Printer which I'd been using at home.  I've been happily using it without problems for six months but for the last week a message comes up whenever I switch on "please insert a memory card" and nothing prints.  I had occasionally had this message before but logging off the computer and switching on again made it go away.  Now it seems to be permanent. I haven't got a memory card and don't even know what it does.     Can anyone help?

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • Lightroom does not launch with insertion of memory card.

    Lightroom does not launch on my PC with insertion of memory card. Option checked to launch in preferences. Autoplay settings set for Lightroom 6 (I assume this is CC) to import photos with insertion of memory card. New since installation of CC. 

    I had this problem and I was able to fix it by editing the Windows registry (it was only a minor edit).
    I changed the value of the following registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.AdobeLightroom64\shell\open\command
    The value was:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Lightroom.exe "%L"
    I changed it to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe "%L"

  • HT2801 I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac

    I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac and was wondering what external DVD drive will work with an iMac 21.5" late 2010. Would take it to be fixed but they take too long and can't really be wothout this computer. Thanks.

    turn it off, and turn it on its side and see if you can gently shake it out.  You could also cut a firm piece of cardboard in the shape of a hook to help fish it out. Also, any external dvd player will work.

  • How do I get Lightroom to do nothing when I insert a memory card?

    I have changed the preferences under File Management to Do Nothing when memory card is detected, but still every time I put a memory card in it opens the program. Honestly if I can't get it to stop, I'm going to uninstall it and use Aperture.
    Second Question, How do you get the program to never ask me to back up library when I open Lightroom.

    Why does everyone and their brother levy this 'threat' when they don't
    understand how to use the app??

  • Iphoto autostarts when I insert a memory card

    Ok, Everytime I put a memory card into my card reader iphoto autostarts. I just use the finder to drag the images off the card.
    I already tried finding some application called "image capture" but I don't have it.
    Please help

    Hi Candice,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You're on the right track. You need to use image capture to set your preferences to load images to your desktop.
    I assume your image capture app is not in your application folder?
    You can try spotlight at the top right of your screen to locate image capture. It should show the app under "top hits".
    If the app is still not found,type back and let us know more about your system,any modifications,etc.
    Best wishes,
    Scott

  • How to get LR4 to open when inserting an SD card (MAC 10.8.2)

    I had LR3 opening when I inserted an SD card but when I installed LR4.4 it broke that and now I can't get LR4 to open when inserting a card. Still fairly new to MAC's so would appreciate any help.

    First:
    Go to Preferences>General Tab  and check Show import dialog when a memory card is detected.
    Second:
    Open Image Capture on your Mac (search for it in Spotlight)
    Insert your Card.
    Click on the card in the LH Pane.
    At the bottom of the Pane, set the default program to be Lightroom 4
    Close.
    It should work now.

  • How to deactivate automatic photoimport when connecting to memory card...?

    Hi there,
    I recently installed iPhoto 6. When I connect a memory card to my powerbook, iPhoto starts up and wants to import the files. I want to do this manually and don't want iPhoto to start automatically. How can I deactivate this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Michael,
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • Import from current location ... when using a memory card

    This thread from a long time ago seems to indicate it can't be done.  Is this still true?
    Re: Lightroom 4.3 won't add to catalog without moving
    If so -- why?  I often use my large CF and SD cards as temporary external hard drives... it would be great to be able to import from them.  This is particularly true on my laptop -- which has limited HDD space, but has a built-in card reader.
    If the issue in the above thread has been fixed, and there is, indeed, a way to import from a card without copying...   how can it be done?  I can't seem to find it in LR 5.5.   The only work around I've found is to import them from an actual HDD on a different system... then I can move that catalog to the laptop and use 'find missing folder' to point the missing folder to the memory card.   Obviously this takes forever and is hideously inefficient.

    It can be done using a plugin like OttomanicImporter (or FileListener), or a script like in MiscLrScripts (e.g. "Choose files via OS and add to catalog.."). - those were written by me, and are free.
