BUG - Can't import pictures

Hi,
In LR 1.0, if I try to import my pictures, I can't reorganize them like I'd want. I have to organize them "By Original Folders" or else I get an error message at the end of the import and no pictures are imported.
I get "The following files were not imported. Could not copy a file to the requested location." with a listing of all the files.
Even if I create the required folders beforehand, I still get the error.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? It's annoying because I don't see myself moving all my files manually every time I want import pictures...
I'm running LR on Vista 64-bit and the user profile running LR had full rights on the folders where I store my pictures.

It might be a problem with Vista 64-bit. I am suspecting this, but I wanted to know if anyone else have experienced this.
Donald, no there are no raws associated with the jpegs. They are brand new pictures of a shoot I did last week. They've never been on my computer. I'm gonna shoot a few raws to see if it makes a difference.
I'm not home right now so it will be hard to try anything until tonight, but if you have any ideas of things I should try to narrow my problem, please post them. I tried a few things already but now I'm pretty much out of ideas.
One thing I'm reluctant to try is to set my Windows account as administrator (because I don't want the permissions of my LR profile to be all messed up after -- mixing admin and limited rights together can make things ugly), but I guess it could tell a lot (e.g. that LR doesn't support correctly standard-user accounts, which would be a shame). I guess I'll have no other choice than try this tonight!

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

  • Can't import pictures from iphone 5

    I can't import pictures from my iphone 5 even though they are stored on my computer. I get the message "nothing has been imported. The file(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this catalog."  I've been able to do it until this time.  Any ideas?

    1. make sure phone is not locked (passcode locked) when you connect.
    2. odds are you (or somebody) changed a setting in windows to not pull up that window anymore by default.
    3. after plugging in, go to My Computer and you should see it listed as a camera/scanner. Just go double click it and get into the pictures and copy off manually. Right click it and I think there you can tell Windows how to act when plugged in.

  • Can't import pictures to iPhoto.

    Can't import pictures to iPhoto. It says I already am, but I'm not.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

  • How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

    I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

    OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
    To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
    To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
    As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

  • How can I import pictures from my computer to iTunes without losing my iPhone pictures?

    Hey
    I'm wondering how I can import pictures from iTunes to my iPhone. I have taken pictures with a camera, not my iPhone camera. And I got the pictures on my computer, just don't know how to import them to my itunes and then to my iPhone. And I also don't want to lose all my iPhone pictures in my camera roll when I do this.
    Thanks

    Camera Roll is the folder on your iPhone which kept all the photos taken from your iPhone Camera or Photos received and saved from your email attachments.  They will remain in that folder until you delete them.  You may, however, import these photos to your Computer if you want to.
    Refer to this article:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Now the other way round, if you want your Photos from your Computer(whether it's taken from other Digital camera or photos already on your computer) to be transferred to iPhone, you have to sync them over like I mentioned in the first reply.

  • Can't import pictures into iPhoto!

    I have a problem:
    Pictures taken with my iPhone don't show up in iPhoto when connected. I can "see" the pictures (gray, no pics actually) but i can't import them. iPhoto gives me the error that the images aren't readable!
    Sam
    I have 1.1.3 installed!

    These aren't photos that were captured by the iPhone?
    If not, these photos were transferred from your old PC to your iPhone which is not done by magic or without user intervention. Photos transferred to the iPhone from one computer cannot be transferred to another from the iPhone. iPhoto and the Image Capture capture application on a Mac can import photos that were captured by a digital camera - direct from the camera when connected or from the camera's card with a connected card reader, and from the iPhone when connected. When an iPhone includes photos that were captured by the iPhone, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected but photos that were transferred from a computer to the iPhone cannot be imported from the iPhone.
    Assuming these photos remain on the old PC, you need to transfer the photos from the PC to the Mac but the iPhone cannot be used for this purpose. If the computers are networked in some fashion, the photos can be transferred this way, or burned to a CD if the PC includes a CD-RW drive. Or an external drive can be used for this purpose. If you have a .Mac account, the photos can be transferred from the PC's hard drive to your iDisk storage and then transferred from your iDisk to the Mac. You have several options but not with the iPhone.

  • How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

    Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

    I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
    Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

  • Can't import pictures to iPhoto and can't close app

    Good Day!
    iMac with OS X 10.8.2
    iPhoto 9.4.2
    iPhoto as stopped working recently. It used to be fine.
    I cannot import pictures anymore: From camera, it says it's importing but it hangs and I have to force quit. From desktop nothing happens.
    Also, when I try to quit iPhoto it hangs. Have to force quit.
    I have restarted iPhoto with "option-command" keys and went through all the options with no success.
    I have deleted iPhoto (dragged from applications menu to trash) and reinstalled it with no success.
    Any idea what I could try next?

    You could try to recover using Time Capsule, but I fear that the backed up iPhoto Library suffers from the same corruption. You could go back in time to earlier Time Machine backups on Time Capsule to try to find an uncorrupted, older version of your iPhoto Library.
    Here's how to move all your photos into a brand new iPhoto Library. This is a brute force way to get all your original photos (and events) into a new, clean Library. I think that your album information will not be moved into the new Library and you'll need to recreate that.
    I normally would not recommend doing this but because you have already rebuit your Library using Apple's method and also using IPhoto Library Manager and haven't succeeded, this is like a last resort.
    (1) Start iPhoto with option key held down to create a brand new, empty iPhoto Library. (I think you have done this already, actually.)
    (2) With iPhoto running from this new, empty iPhoto Library, go to your old, corrupted iPhoto Library in the Finder. Control-click on the corrupted Library and select Show Package Contents.
    (3) There should be a folder called Masters there. It should have lots of folders and photo files inside. Drag that Masters folder onto your open iPhoto window where you are running iPhoto connected to the new, empty iPhoto Library.
    (4) This should import (copy) into the new Library all the original photos from the old, corrupted Library.
    (5) You may find that the Event names are not what they were in the old, corrupted Library, but I think the photos will still be grouped into the same Events as before.
    (6) Close iPhoto. Reopen iPhoto, see that this new Library appears to have all your photos as best you can.
    You can return to your old, corrupted iPhoto Library for more attempts to revive it because this procedure does not do anything to that old Library. It simply copies all the photos into a new one.
    Make sure you have enough disk space to essentially make a copy of the old Library befor eembarking on this.

  • I can not import pictures from iPad into Aperture

    I have an iPad 1, latest iOS. I shoot Nikon RAW files that I import unsingh the camera connector kit (CCK). I use Aperture, again latest version. All of that in OS X latest and greatest on an iMac (March 2009).
    I simply can not import pics from the iPad onto Aperture.
    AP3 does see the iPad when I go in import mode (CMD I) and does see all my pics (just came back from vacation with 3000+).
    Importing All starts the process, the import wheel spins, but the nothing happens . If I double click on the "Importing..." message to see the scheduled tasks, I do see that a number of importing tasks are scheduled.
    However, no progress is ever made.
    Any ideas?

    Are you connected to the wi-fi and/or 3G

  • I installed Snow Leopard and now I can't import pictures from iphone or memory chip.

    I installed Snow Leopard to my Mac Book Pro and when I went to import pictures from my Iphone 4 to the Mac I received a message that it could not read the files.  I also tried importing pictures from my camera's memory card and got the same error.  This hadn't happened before the installation of Snow Leopard, what could it be?

    update SnowLeopard to its latest version, v 10.6.8, and alongside that also your iTunes to v10.5
    Use disk utility to repair the OS permissions after all updates are in place.

  • I can't import pictures given to me on a cd into iPhoto because it says...

    It says the file is in an unrecognized format.  Does it matter if it says "locked" by each individual IMG number?  Is this why I can't import the photos to iPhoto?
    I can view them from the cd, but I want to transfer them to iPhoto to make a memory book...

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
