Can't import photos anymore

I can't import photos anymore : when clicking the import button, I get the following message : AgPathUtils.getStandardFilePath: can't create directory at: /Users/DR/Pictures
I recently had my HD replaced with a SSD, and still using the HD as a secondary drive on which I have my catalogue.
Thanks for your help

Secondary drive holds all media and files, due to the large size. The OS is on the primary drive, where I've replaced the folders on the primary HD with the symlinks, so media folders are redirected.
Again, the symlinks are in the exact same place as the folders would normally be. MacHD/Users/~/Pictures, etc. They replace the folders. They work like an Alias, or shortcut. In the Finder, and most other applications, these folders show up because the symlink redirects you to the folders on the 2nd drive.
Ideally, Lightroom would either open the import dialogue and show the symlinks, or not show anything at all and still open up. Apparently, there HAS to be folders with the names /Pictures /Movies in your User directory, otherwise Import refuses to open. That's my complaint I guess. Even if LR isn't being correctly redirected to the folders, Import should be able to open up according to what you say.

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

    I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
    It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
    I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
    Please help, somebody.

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

  • Can't import photos now

    My son received a new camera for Christmas. After successfully importing photos from his camera (an HP), I can no longer import photos from my camera (Cannon Powershot A85) that previously worked fine. When I click the import button it does not recognize the camera. Yesterday I was able to turn the camera on, when plugged into the computer, and trigger Image Capture, but today I cannot even make Image Capture work. HP software was loaded onto my computer so I could access the users manual, but I have since deleted the software. I also tried rebuilding my iPhoto library and was successful, but I am still unable to import photos from my camera (and can still import photos from my son't camera). Any suggestions?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iPhoto 4.0.3

    I have the same problem. I use a Fujifilm F30 and a Canon Powershot A530. Both were recogniced bij iPhoto and I could import. Suddenly it didn't work anymore. It isn't even recogniced in the finder. Even a different user account can't see the cameras. If I try to import the SD card from the sony through a card reader I have no problems. But sinds I don't have a cardreader for the XD card I need this to work. If I switch on the option to automatically start iPhoto when the camera is connected, iPhoto does start but can't see the camera. Another mac mini I tried had no problems with the camera's and my ipod doesn't have either (I use the camera connector) Does anyone know what is going on? I am running out of options.

  • Can't import photos from my iPhone to iPhoto.

    Usually once I connected my iPhone, iPhoto is automatically opened and all the pictures can be imported. However, now the pictures won't show in iPhoto anymore. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Same problem here: upgraded from 4.3.x to iOS 5.1 (iPhone 3GS), now I can't import photos taken on iPhone. Neither with iPhoto nor with Lightroom - they both do see the connected iPhone tough. However they both claim that there are 0 photos found.
    That's on OS X 10.6.8, iPhoto '11 (latest v 9.2.3), iTunes 10 (10.6.1) - or in other words: all updates installed. However I remember a quick test with the iPhone 4 from my girlfriend also found no photos on her device (also iOS 5.1) (so it can't be a 3GS issue only).
    I do have "sync over WiFi" enabled, but all iCloud services are turned OFF.
    I am pretty sure it must be the fault of iOS 5.1. Off course the phones were unlocked at the time of import. Also re-connecting the USB cable did not show any success. Also made sure that no sync was going on during the photo import attempt.

  • I can't import photos from microSD card.

    I can't import photos from MicroSD card. I have an Android phone and it's getting too full. I have to import the photos into iPhoto ASAP. First I tried using the Android Transfer Files app to transfer the photos directly from my phone and it didn't work. So I inserted a microSD card into my phone and transferred photos onto that. Used a card reader through USB and still nothing. iPhoto shows absolutely nothing loading using either method. I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. My phone can't take anymore photos. I've contacted AT&T, Apple, Pantech, and Android and not a single person could help me. A guy from Pantech actually told me I should have got an iPhone. I told him if I could have afforded it I would have. NEED YOUR HELP PLEEEEEASE!!!  Thank you so much for any help you can give.

    Copy the photos from the card to a folder on the desktop. Then import them from there to iPhoto. If that works you can delete them from the card.

  • How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

    I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account.  Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos.  Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads.  I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using.  It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken? 

    You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC?  I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC.  What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
    To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
    Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.)  Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
    In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them.  Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

    You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

  • How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

    How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

    I'm puzzled!  I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad.  For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name.  When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided.  After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album.  Now, how do I get them back to the iPad.  (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.

  • HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

    how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
