Cannot import all JPGs

Hi
I've been using Lightroom 3 for about 6 months and had no problems at all. Recently I took a bunch of photos in JPG format with my Sony Alpha A350, when I went to import them half of the images were darkened and I can't select them for import. I've always used the same camera and not used any advanced features as I'm still a novice.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Paul

Thanks Hal
I'm not sure what you mean by reformatting. Could you clarify please?
On the card was 85 photos (30 of those are darkened). I selected new photos as you suggested and imported. But still there are only 55 photos in the library and not the full 85
Any other suggestions?
Cheers,
Paul

Paul, Darkened images in the Import grid mean that Lightroom figures those photos are already in the library. Did you shoot more images on the card without reformatting it? What happens if you choose "New Photos"? http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4193178-155633/450-102/Lightro om_2012-02-08_07-56-13.jpg Hal

IPhoto Imported All JPGs. How do I stop it?

Recently, I was uploading pictures from my Canon camera onto iPhoto. All of a sudden, the computer decided it wanted to import all .jpgs on my computer into iPhoto. It also imported screen shots of recent websites I have visited. How do I stop this from happening, and how do I reverse what the computer has done without losing any of my pictures?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If it's still going on Force Quit out of iPhoto. There's no way to reverse the import. Do you have a backup copy of the library from just before you started the import? If so bring it back as your working library and start the import over again.
It sounds like somehow the Mac's hard drive icon was dragged onto the iPhoto icon.

Cannot import all video clips

I've never had this problem before with Elements 9, but I attempt to get media from files, select 46 Mp4 Video Clips and it will only import 36 of them. I've rebooted the computer,that doesn't help. I cannot select the project from the filter drop down most of the time, although I can see it. I have to use another method. Even when it works, there are only 36 out of the 46 videos there. I attempt to import the other 10 manually... it acts like it does as you see the progress bar but they are not viewable. I finally was able to accomplish this after having to manually count the videos since there is no indicator, by accessing the Large Project Icon under Organize, but it's not the way I'm used to draging my video clips down to the timeline. Not sure what is wrong and why it has developed this new behavior. Had I not been manually counting them (odd that there is no number of files indicator) I would have completed a project and would have been missing 10 video clips.

Please perform the following computer maintenance...
a. Adobe Folder. Look for pile ups in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder and delete them. Look for pile ups in the Media Cache Folder (conformed audio cfa and pek files) and delete them.
b. Edit Menu/Preferences/Media. In the Media Cache section, click on the Clean button to get rid of the conformed video (.mcdb) files.
c. Run the ccleaner, regular cleaner and registry cleaner.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
As far as you can determine how do the 10 differ from the 46 videos. What is the hard drive save location for these 46 videos and is that drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? The properties of those videos (aside from the .mp4 file extension) would be included in your exchange of information, along with project preset.
Since you are working with a 32 bit application in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 with all the limitations of a 32 bit system, I am thinking that the issue probably goes to level of computer resources and maintenance.
Let us see if we can sort this out. There are other avenues to pursue but the above seems more indicated at this time.
Thanks.

Does not import all JPG photos from local folders

Hi,
Using Lightroom 5.3 under Windows 7.
Photos are located on local disk.
I received a selection of photos from our research project which I want to import.
Most of the photos have been imported correctly.
However, import of some 500 photos fails.
"synchronize folder" detects the new photos (501)
"synchronize" command reports that "no photos or videos were found to import"
Windows security settings on the files are all the same (inherit from parent folder).
Disk has enough empty space left (56 GB)
The photos are in Jpeg format, typically around 500 to 2000 kB each.
Produced from Photoshop CS5, up to 3267x2244 pixels at 300 dpi.
Photos open correct in other viewers.
Are the any limitations to
- folder and file name length?
- spaces in file names?
Thanks in advance,
Roger.

JPGs will not import for one of the following reasons
you have shot JPG+RAW on your camera and the Lightroom option is set only to recognize the RAWs but not the JPGs from the pair
the JPGs have previously been imported into Lightroom, and so Synchronize or Import will not import them a second time (nor is there a good reason to import them a second time).

Cannot import all photos onto PC

When I connect my phone to my laptop it is not showing all the photos on my phone to allow me to import them all.
I have approx. 2000 photos on my phone, but when I connect and browse my phone on my PC I can only see approximately 50 photos.
I can see the following iPhone>DCIM>Foldername xxxxxx and that is all?
Why can't I see more?
Please help - they have all my baby photos!

Did you follow the steps mentioned in this article to import the photos inside the camera roll? Photos that have not been taken with the phone or located inside the camera roll can't be imported.

Cannot import all of one album

I only have this issue with one album out of 11gb of music. When I drag the playlist into the nano only the first track transfers across. If I try and drag one of the other tracks individually, I don't get the 'plus' sign appear. They are all standard mp3's at variable bit rates. Any idea why this should be?

Try converting the album to AAC. That is one option.

HT4527 Cannot import songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library

When I format my computer, all of the songs in my iTunes are gone. This is normal. But then, how come I cannot import all of my songs from my iPad/iPhone to my iTunes Library.

That's normal too. iTunes is designed to transfer purchases only. Ideally you would have backed up your library and personal data before reformatting.

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.

Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

I have imported all photos and videos from my iPhone 5S into Aperture ver.3.4.5 and now cannot find them. I thought I could open a panel showing all imports and merely list them chronologically, but I don't see how to do this.

I have imported all photos and videos from my iPhone 5S into Aperture ver.3.4.5 and now cannot find them. I thought I could open a panel showing all imports and merely list them chronologically, but I don't see how to do this. There are over 1800 photos and about 100 videos, any help to locate where they've gone would be appreciated.

Try to search with a Smart Album for photos and videos taken with an iPhone:
File > New > Smart Album:
Add an EXIF rule fro the "Add Rule" drop down menu: EXIF
and set it to "Camera Model includes iPhone".
Set the scope of the search to "Library"
If there are any iPhone images or videos in your library at all, this search should find them. Then ctrl-click any of the items and select "Show in Project" from the contextual menu.
Generally, Aperture should be showing your last import in the "Last Import" smart album in the "recent" section". And the "projects" view can be sorted by date, so you should see your recent imports.
You may want to check all search fields, if searches are active.

Imported RAW+JPG ... how to delete all JPG's?

I wanted to see the difference between raw RAW images and JPG's created within the camera, so I imported all 600 pictures like that (300 RAW, 300 JPEG's). I set RAW as the Master and I see that I can set JPEG as Master afterwards, if I want.
Questions:
1) What is the easiest way to view the JPEG version? The only way I've found is to duplicate the image and then set JPEG as master.
2) How do I go about deleting all (or some) of my 300 JPG images now? Isn't there a "show in Finder"-option so I can delete them like that (rather than navigating the Aperture library file/folder myself, potentially screwing up something) - or how is it supposed to be done?
Thanks.

On Import you should have set "Raw + JPEG Pairs" to "Both - Separate Masters".

You should do all you file maintenance from inside Aperture. It's a Digital Asset Manager, and the files are a very big part of your digital assets.
The filter HUD has a rule accurately titled "File Type". Use it to filter for JPGs. Select them all. Delete them.
If you haven't made any adjustments and still have the images on card or disk, you might consider selected them all, deleting the Masters as well as the versions, and then re-importing. Common practice among raw shooters is to not import the JPG files and let Aperture generate its own (some do, though).
Thanks.
You are welcome. Tips accepted.

I am unable to download all photos to computer. At a certain photo I get the following message: IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I go around this image

I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer. At a certain photo the following message appears: IPhoto cannot import your photos
because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

I'm having the same issue. i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone. problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
and I do apologize for hijacking.

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

Cannot import from Canon Powershot pro1

I've always imported my photos with iPhoto simply connecting my Canon Powershot Pro1 to the Mac with a USB cable.
About an year ago I started to have problems: I had to shut down the Mac, connect the camera and then start the Mac again. Connecting the camera to a "turned on" Mac didn't work: I could only see the thumbnails but after clicking "Import all" I got an error message.
Now, switching from iPhoto to Photos, this trick doesn't work anymore and there's no way to import the photos. When the camera is connected, the thumbnails appear successfully in Photo, but I'm unable to complete the import as the following error always occurs:
Unreadable files: 3
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)

Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software. I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4 I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...". Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine. I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
So my questions come down to :
Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8? Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4. Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
Hmmm?
Thanks for any help, insight,
Mike

BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route. I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support. Appreciate the link.
And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down. I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am. I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4. I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers. That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs. Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.
