Can't see image folders to import into LR

Apologies in advance for any duplication, I originally posted this incorrectly.
I can import photos directly from a card via the card reader on my MacBook Pro (OS Mavericks) but I prefer to organise my folder structure and import the images into a folder on the HDD first and then from there import them into Lightroom. Everything worked fine up until upgrading from LR5.2 to 5.3 a few weeks ago. I can see the folders (and images) in the Mac's Finder. However in LR, the folders with the new (as yet not imported images) do not show AT ALL when I try to import the new images (all other folders on the HDD are visible in LR).

Please be more specific.
Are you looking in the Import dialog box, on the left hand side, in the Source panel? Or are you looking in the Library Module, on the left hand side, in the Folders panel? Or are you looking somewhere else?

I can´t see the pics I imported into my podcast when I export to iTunes

After making a podcast with pics, I was unable to view the podcast with itunes - I could only hear the audio tracks - but no pics - who can help me?

When you export to iTunes, you have to use the AAC compression, neither MP3 nor uncompressed AIFF will contain the pics.
Alternatively, select "Export to disk", and the podcast will be saved in AAC format by default.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Can't see files/folders on server from windows

i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
cheers

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

TS2481 I can't rename a group I imported into my address book?

I can't rename a group I imported into my address book...It just says "last import" and in the menu it is not available to choose....

Have you tried opening Address Book from either the dock or from the Applications folder? Address Book is a separate application (although it works together with Mail), so you can just open it without opening Mail.

Can't see certain folders

I'm a new admin running Server 2008R2 on Cisco hardware. A user created a subfolder and wanted special permissions for that folder. I accessed the Server Desktop, went to "computer" to look for that folder and noticed that I can't locate it.
There are several folders that I can see if I'm looking on the file server itself (I access via a VPN) but I can't see these folders in such a way that I can set permissions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact your user to provide you that path where he created the folders. You can also use them using Windows Explorer: Of course, results might take long time to be shown if indexation is disabled.

Did you try creating a new mailbox on your mac's mail application and choosing iCloud as its location in the New Mailbox window, you can create a new mailbox using the '+' icon in the bottom LH corner of the mail window.

I can not see images on a HDMI TV connected my laptop Displayport

Dear all,
I need to connect the laptop to a HDMI TV and therefore I purchased a HP Display port to HDMI cable adapter P/N: 612873. It is not working.
I phoned HP service, they recommend to me to download the HP Softpaq download manager and update my laptop.
After doing this, still I can not see images on the TV.
I know the TV is working, because other laptops like Asus, Toshiba are connected to the TV and works fine.
Does anybody know what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

Image Corrupted After Import into LR4?

Several times now I've imported images into LR4 from my External HD and and a few the files are corrupted. (See attached image)
I realize that LR is not suppose to do anything to the files on the disk when importing... but I've checked the RAW images from back-ups and they are not corrupted prior to import into LR. AFTER import into LR the actual file (on the external HD) IS corrupted in both LR and then on the External HD.
My workflow has been to copy files from my CF Card to the External HD (Western Digital 3 TB) ino the appropriate file... then go to LR4 and import.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is? I replaced the Card Reader... same problem occurs. I've checked numerous RAW files in Bridge... none are shown as corrupted (prior to LR4 import)

The corruption may or may not be “sudden”. If things look ok in Library then it happened sometime between initial preview building during import and you’re viewing the image in Develop.   If the last place things looked ok was in the Import thumbnail grid, then that is only showing the camera-embedded previews, so the images may be corrupted on the card, already.
The most important thing is to determine what the problem is, where the corruption comes from, so you can fix it. It could be the camera, the card, the camera-to-computer USB cable, the card-reader, the usb-slot, the computer-memory, the computer hard-drive, the USB-drivers, LR, itself, or some other software, like Microsoft Security Essentials has caused problems for some people in the past, although why is not really understood.
If the corruption is still occurring with the latest images, then you can experiment by changing one or more of the components mention above, and see if things are ok or still corrupted.
As far as recovery, if part of the image data is missing or zeroed out overwritten with random junk, there’s no way to get that bad data, back, from the existing file because the files, themselves, only have one copy of the data.
The three things I can think of to suggest are:
1)      If the preview in Library doesn’t show the corruption then there are ways to retrieve the previews from the LR preview cache as JPGs. This isn’t the same as the RAW data, but is better than nothing.
2)      If the camera-embedded preview has not been damaged—it is typically stored in front of the raw data so depending on where the damage is, it could be intact, then there are ways to extract the camera-embedded preview from the raw file, which again is better than nothing.
3)      The best thing is if you have a backup of the images that don’t show the corruption, either because the images are still on the card, or because you made a backup during import and the corruption happened sometime after import, then you could copy those over the top of the corrupted files and be ok.
These things may or may not be possible depending on your situation, though. If you don’t have any backups that are ok, and LR’s previews are bad, and the in-camera preview is tiny or also damaged, then you’ll entirely out of luck for those images. And things maybe really bad if it’s the hard-drive that’s failing and you have no backups of your images, there, either. It is important to determine what is wrong, and with the least effect on the images that are still good.

Lightroom cant see my folders when importing

When I go to the import dialog in Lightroom 5.3 and I select one of my 3 networked hard drives (hosted on a Mac) I can only see the directory structure of one of my drives in lightroom
my Y: Drive (for videos) shows up properly, but when I select the X: drive (for Photos) it doesnt show any folders. When i use windows explorer I can see the structure just fine.
I have tried selectring. include subfolders.. makes no difference
I cant also see in the destination, area the folder listing
why cant it see the folders?
all three network drives are formated the same way, hosted on the same machine
If i click on the arrow button point right and select other source I can navigate in the popup window to the proper drive / folder
but why wont it should up in this winddow
please see screenshot attachment for reference

Yep, networked drives on a Mac are reported as a problem regularly here in these forums. I don't know the answer, as I don't do that, but you should feel free to search the forum.
By the way, no one from Adobe is here, we are just users not Adobe employees.

I have an Imac and I use mostly "Firefox" and I am "not too" computer savvy and it seems that now I can not see images on Firefox at all. Therfore i can not see what I am clicking on (like "to buy" or "next" .. PLEASE help me! Thanks in advance!

I am "not too computer savvy" so if you are going to answer my question.. Please take super baby steps (thx in advance).. Okay, now I have a 1 yr old Imac I am using 10.6.8 (do not know what that means) but everytime I call Apple support they ask me.. So I figured you may need to know as well. I really love Firefox (easier for me) and I was trying to download a coupon printing thing to print from Coupons.com (plz don't laugh..economy sux) anyways, the operator at coupons.com told me how to install it. Can't remember but if not immediately after or not long after?? It seems that ALL my images on EVERY website are gone. It is very frustrating because I can not see (for example on Ebay where to click "buy it now" or "continue" unless it seems I sometime get lucky and click where it says "image" but there isn't one. It looks like a set of shark teeth actually right beside the word "image" very jaggedy teeth, I guess?? So I have been using Safari. There is no problem with ANY of those website images. I go on the same basic sites so that is how I know that. I have only downloaded music I think 3x. I do not download much at all. I would really love to use Firefox, being the un-savvy computer person I am... Firefox is easier to navigate for me. Thanks SO much!

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I can't see images or icons in firefox or emails downloaded with firefox. What do I do to fix this? Thank you.

In particular, I can't see the up and down arrows that enable me to move from one email to another in gmail. There are many other problems: I can see NO icons and I can see NO images in my emails, whether it be hotmail, gmail, etc. when I use firefox. I read loaded firefox and got the same result. How can I fix this. Thanks.

The Yahoo! Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to invisibly extend downward over the top of the web page display area. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

CAN'T SEE SHARED FOLDERS FROM THE PC ON MY MAC SINCE SNOW LEOPARD UPGRADE

HELP! Ever since I've installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, I don't see my folders I selected for sharing from the Microsoft PC computer in my network anymore. I can't seem to locate anything. However the PC is able to see the folders from my iMac. If anyone has solutions to this problem, your help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
Pat

Your problem is probably the same one I described in my thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2133962&tstart=0
The problem in my case, seems to be that the SL mac is not setting itself as the master browser, so when a Windows PC is switched on, it doesn't update that computer in the finder sidebar.
You can see if this is the case, by opening terminal, and typing:
nmblookup -M -- -
If it comes back with "name_query failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01" then you've got the same problem as me. With Leopard, my mac would report back as the master browser.
It's got nothing to do with the firewall (I've tried turning mine off ,to no avail). Also, my workgroup is correct, and smb sharing is turned on for the user.
