Cant import RAF files into lightroom 5.2

I've just purchased lightroom 5 and I'm having problems importing my files. I first detected the problem with my CR2 files.
After investigating I found this person with the exact same issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5474641 I managed to fix the problem by changing the prefrence file as indicated here: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
Now I'm trying to import my RAF files (Fuji x100) and I'm getting the exact same issue.
What should I do now????

First of all, thanks for the help.
But I'm now more confused then before. I'll explain and I hope I wont confuse you in the process.
It seems that, without having changed the permissions, 5 pictures from my Fuji were able to import into the Sub-folder I want from the copys I made on my desktop. The rest didnt. I tried it again and it didnt work. I tried it yet another time except into a distinct sub folder of the same main folder. It worked. NOTE: both subfolders are on a external drive.
Then I tried to import new pictures directly from my SD card into both sub folder mentioned before. "Could not be read" message was given. So, I imported the images to my desktop with no problem but I can't move the files using LR into the subfolders on the external drive.
I'm very inclined to agree with you both that its a permission issue with the folders on the external drive. The back story is that I've had past two separte problems with my computers hard drive and RAM. Part of the fix for those issues was to creat new user accounts. The old ones have not been deleted. (dont know how)
I'm telling you this because, in the sharing and permission window, the sub folder I want all these pictures to go dosent give the same User name as the main folder or other folders within it.
Main Folder has the correct user account (Privilage set to read and write) Below is staff (which is I've changed to read and write) and below that Everyone (which I've left as read only)
Sub folder I wish pictures to go has and Old User name. Below is not staff but Fetching and privilage is set to read and write.
I hope I havent confused you too much. I cant wrap my head around the fact that 5 pics managed to enter the sub folder without it being set to the correct user.
Must be said that this sub folder is in my personal (not profesional) work, which I havent touched for a while now.
any questions??? cause I still have a tonn

Problems importing raw files into Lightroom 3.4

I've just dowloaded lightroom 3.4 and now I'm having problems importing raw files into lightroom. I havent had a problem before. Can anyone help me? My camera is a Nikon D7000.

Perhaps a few more details are required. Take a look at the FAQ "How to get help quickly"

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Do you have Lightroom 5.3 or higher?
Did you use Nikon software at any point on these photos?

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

How can I import RW2 files into Lightroom 4?Also why can`t I see jpgs related to the same RW2 files?

I tried ti import my RW2 camera (Lumix) raw files into Lightroom 4.4 and simply couldn`t do it. Also I had jpgs in the same folder and Lightroom didn`t bring them in at all.
What can I do? Is there any ways or settings? Does Lightroom 5 see RW2?
Thanks

What Jim said.
Either:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5 then open the RW2 files in LR5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all RW2 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

How do I import Fujifilm X T ! RAF files into Lightroom?

Fujifilm XT1

This is crazy. Why haven't Adobe addressed the camera RAW update in an update for LR 4 users? I'm really starting to hate Adobe as a company these days. Forcing users to update to version 5 when v4 is perfectly good, just so people will subscribe to the bs CC services is outrageous! It seems that one is either heavily discouraged from downloading a stand alone version of LR 5 on the Adobe site, or it's just not available at all, unless you go to Amazon and such.. I'm already looking for alternatives to LR at this point, based on principle alone. I mean, I'm not a paranoid person when it comes to cloud based anything, but it's just not worth the effort to spend $100 a damned year when it's not my profession and I'm not making money from photography. Why all of a sudden is a stand alone version so threatening to the LR business model? Hell, if you're going to charge as such, I want to see better cloning tools such as those found in freegin' Elements or PS, like content aware capabilities. If you're forcing people to spend money, then take that cash and dump it into your devs hands for better tools for ferk's sake!
As an X-T1 owner, I've already adapted the stand alone dng converter tool into my workflow, but it's the most tedious waste of time, ever! And from what I've seen with LR 5.4, the native RAW conversions for the RAF files look like absolute CRAP. So why even bother getting it for that reason? For years I was able to update my versions of LR for $99 at MY chosen time and convenience, and now that option seems to be gone, and would have to pay $135 over at Amazon if I want the stand alone version minus the CC nonsense. Honestly Adobe, I truly hope that another company comes along and whoops the hell out of LR. Which is entirely possible. PS, maybe not so much, but I can still hope. Maybe then you'll realize how arrogant and slimy your sales tactics have become.

Help in using the plugin to import Aperture Files into Lightroom?

I’m attempting to use your installer plugin to import my Aperture photos (with Aperture edits) into a Lightroom catalog. The Aperture photos are referenced files on a remote drive. When I select the “Select” Aperture Library on the plugin installer it will not let me select the files on the remote drive. The “Select” button for “Copy images to” works and lets me select a location. I do not want to move the files, but want to be able to access these file from Lightroom and from Aperture (eventually not use Aperture). Please advise me as to how to proceed… Ken Harper

Correct, I am using the Import Dialog. Menu | File | Import Photos and Video... -OR- From the Library, click on the Import button to the lower left.
The images have not been imported. I even created a brand new catalog with nothing imported - Same results.
During a normal import, the impages do show during the import process. In this case they do not.
Move does not work. The only mothod that does, is for me to try the import first and let it fail. Lightroom, does however build the directory structure / files for the days the pictures were taken, it just does nothing else. I then copy/move the files in to (as noted above) from Drive A to Drive B by myself and then use that drive as the source to do an Add.
When I use the <Copy> the only message I get is one with "Some operations were not performed." at the top. Next line down has "Could not copy a file to the requested location."
Now for the kick in the teeth.
I, to make 100% sure everything I was telling you was correct. I manually moved the from from A to B. Chose the <Add> option so that it would be in the Catalog. Verified it worked, it was in the catalog. I then went back to try the <Copy>, and it withed with both the JPGs and MOVs files. LR4 copied the files form A to B and did the Catalog import.
Go Figure.

Can't Import _MG files into Lightroom

Im running Lightroom 2 and normally import images from my MkII without problems, with the IMG file extension. I used a friends 70D and am trying to import _MG files but the files won't import. Can anyone help as I need the images from this card and need to be able to work on them. I tried importing using a custom filename sequence number but this didn't work either. Thanks!

"Mk II"? 1D Mk II? 1Ds Mk II? 5d Mk II?
Anyway, the 70D wasn't supported by Lightroom until version 5.2. Old (obsolete) versions of Lr cannot be expected to understand what to do with files from cameras five years newer than the software.
Either update Lightroom or convert the files to DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter - Lr 2 will read them.
Updating is far and away the best option, if you care about the quality of results: Lr 5 is in another league, image quality wise, to Lr 2.

Importing .NEF files into Lightroom 4.4

Hi All,
I am running lightroom 4.4 and camera raw 7.4. I can't seem to import a .NEF file. I normally shoot Canon and have no problems with the .CR2 file. The error message I get is that "The file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (1)" When I check for updates, it says that my software is up-to-date. My guess is that I need to update camera raw but I don't if I can do that wit the version of lightroom that I have. So my questions are the following: Is there a way for me to update the camera raw version without having to upgrade from LR 4.4? Is there another way that I can get this to work?
Thanks
Wesley

NOt sure which one is troubeling you.
As soon as you convert from RAW to some other file system, things are locked, so you only have the possibility to create a preset in lightroom that fits what you're expectiong to receive.
In many cases it makes more sense to shoot in jpg and get the Picture Style right in the camera, you have many options in the D810, as a D800-user I know.
The reason I upgraded to LR5 was also the change to the new D800.
You will have a better and faster workflow in LR5 with the big files and some better possibilities than in LR4 ...
The upgrade to LR5 is not as expensive as your D810 was
Many people are selling their key for less than 50$ ... I think this is quite fair and saves you a lot of time(=money) as you will be stuck in the DNG-workaroung in future for every RAW you shoot.

Why am I unable to import CR2 files into Lightroom ?

When I try to import a CR2 file I receive a response that the files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.
I have downloaded the latest version.
I'm using a Canon 7D Mark II

Click on help and at the bottom of the context menu you should see:
About Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
That is the latest version.
Otherwise, if you installed through a Creative Cloud subscription launch CC desktop and install the latest version of Lightroom from there.
If you have a stand-alone purchased version of LR5 go to:
Help >> Check for Updates
Install 5.7.1

LR4 doesn't import .RAF files from Fuji x100.

On my MAC LR4 doesn't import .RAF files. It says "because they couldn't be read".
On my PC everything is OK.
What can I do about it?

I have no problem importing .RAF files into LR4.
Wonder why you have this problem??

Help with importing files into Lightroom 3.2

Nothing has changed on my Mac for a year, except installing Lightroom 3 two months ago. I have had no issues importing till yesterday. Imported 300 .CR2 files, installed another card into my card reader and it will not import the files from the same camera, same shoot, done same day.
I have tried to copy the files over to my hard drive and import from there. Failed again.
I can open the files in Camera RAW and convert them to PSD files on a different drive and they still will not import from there.
Any suggestions out there/
I am begging to hate LR3 more and more and more every day.

Copy the files from your card reader or camera to your Mac then import the files into Lr. You can configure Lr to import where to a new location or leave them were they are.
