Elements 10 Won't import images

I upgraded from Elements 6 to 10 last week. The problem is that suddenly my images won't import. I plug in the camera and it begins the process, I see 4 thumbnail images show up, then the rest of the thumbnails after that just display an hourglass image. The whole process seems to start, then lock up. But if I try to import the same images from the same camera with my old computer using Elements 6, there is no problem at all, and all of the images import. Even tho I just upgraded to 10 recently, is there an update or fix for Elements 10 I need to go looking for?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
It maybe the way I'm reading your posts but are you saying that you were using PSE 6 on the Windows 7 system or did you change system and PSE 6 to 10 at the same time?
I don't have a T1 but I have tried it with an 40D and it seemed to work OK. Have you tried turning off the advanced "Get" options like red eye fix? If windows can transfer the photos then it must be something extra that PSE is doing. Perhaps doing a catalog optimise may help.
I'm afraid that I'm one of those that use a card reader to download the photos.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!

Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher)

Lightroom CC won't import images

I just upgraded to lightroom CC from lightroom 5 and it won't import my images. It shows a preview of them, but when I click import is says "importing images" but it never does and just sits like that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Here is a series of things to try to isolate where the issue might be, obviously do an Import after each time you change things, so you know what is affecting the Import:
Presumably you've rebooted, but if not, or try it, again, this time actually shutting down so the power is off for a few seconds then turn it back on.
Does it work to import if you open EOS_DIGITAL in the Files section, not the Devices section?
Freezing (of LR6) suggests something incompatible is plugged into a USB port, somewhere. It could be the camera or it could be a phone charging or who knows what. Unplug everything except the camera/card-reader and try it.
If it does work, then plug things in one-by-one to see which one was causing the issue, and then unplug it, again, to verify it was the problem.
If it doesn't work with the card-reader or camera attached, then use an OS utility to copy the files to a temporary location on the hard-drive and see if things work better importing from there.
All this might be enough to determine the cause. Other things you can try if you want would be:
Try without converting to DNG.
Try copying all the files on the card to a folder on the system hard drive using an OS function like Finder or Explorer, then format the card in the camera including a low-level format, then copy the files back to the card.

Premiere won't import image sequence!

I'm trying to make a timelapse video. I've 280ish jpeg photos that i've imported onto my computer straight from my camera. They are all consecutively numbered files.
I have gone onto import, selected the first file and then checked 'image sequence'. I then click 'open', but nothing happens. I don't get a clip there or an options box or anything. There isn't any media at all opened for me. What am I doing wrong?
I am able to import all the photos individually but I want to import them as a sequence and set the frame rate...
I've tried the same thing in photoshop and it works there, but premiere gives much control so I'd prefer to use that if possible...

Select them all and drag them in to a Sequence.
Make sure that prior that... you have set a STills Frame Preference. eg 01 Frames for each.
You cant set a Frame Rate on still images AFAIK

IPhoto won't import images from camera

When I connect my camera to my computer iPhoto recognizes the camera but says there are no items to import. The camera has about 40 photos in its memory. What gives. I have intel iMac OS X 10.4.6, iphoto 6.0.1 and a nikon coolpix 5200 (lists says its compatible) set to PTP. Why can't I import the images from the camera to my computer? please help

David:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use Image Capture will it see the photos in the camera? It's located in your Applications folder. I'm guessing it will and that will give you a workaround until the iPhoto issue is resolved.
I see where you're still at 6.0.1. I'd update iPhoto to the latest version, 6.0.2, repair disk permission, and then see if iPhoto will see the files.

IPhoto won't import images from Aperture.

I export images to a jpg version at 1024 X 1024. Preview can open them, Photoshop Elelments 3 can open them, but IPhoto refuses to import them as they are "an unrecognizable file type or the files may not contain valid data".
Any ideas what is going on?

Where did you export them to? Into the iPhoto Library Folder? Because iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication. So, export to the desktop and import from there.

PS Elements won't open image

I'm having a strange problem with the PS Elements 9 software on my wife's mini mac computer. The program launches fine, and when I try to open a picture (any picture - I've tried lots) I get the various dialog boxes ("reading Photshop format", color mode conversion progress bar, etc.), but then no window showing the photograph. No error message. Also, none of the windows (info, history, layers, etc.) that I've selected show up. If I go to the file menu to "open recent", it lists the photos I've told it to open but have never seen.
I've tried uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it, but continue to have the same problem. It worked fine when I last used it several months ago. I have various other Photoshop software on my other computers (CS 5, CS 4) and have never had this problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or go to applications and hold down the three keys whilst double clicking on the Photoshop Elements Editor application.
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

Quicktime Pro won't import image sequencee

I have QuickTime 7 Pro on my Mac. I am trying to load a large image sequence. It never loads. I have tried shortening the file names, no spaces. I have tried different types like Jpg. vs. Tiff. nothing seems to help. It just freezes and I have to quit out of it. Any ideas? It works on my desktop but not on my laptop. I have already had my laptop replaced as Apple said it was a hard drive issue, but it is now happening on my new laptop. So it cannot be a hard drive issue.
Thanks,

Try the following:
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
Click the OK button.
Restart your computer.
==============
Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
Restart your computer.
===============
Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

Organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 won't import large NEF files

Photoshop Elements 9 won't import the NEF fiels from my new Nikon D800.

Yes, the camera is too new for PSE9. You will have to either:
Upgrade to PSE11
Download the free Adobe DNG Converter Version 7.3 and use that to convert your NEFs to DNGs, and then PSE9 will be able to import them
Use the Nikon software to convert the file to TIF, then import into PSE.

How do I import images from a Canon scanner on Photo Elements 12 using a Mac

Hi
I have purchase a new Mac with the 10.9 version and I am using Photo Elements 12. I am trying to import images from my CanoScan 9000f scanner but I can't see the scanner in the Organizer, Files, Get Photos and Videos, there is no Scanner option. But I can use my scanner using the Canon Sofware for the scanner. Can you tell me what I have to do to be able to use my scanner directly on adobe Elements 12 ?

You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements. It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file. I get the message "File type not supported. Can anyone help? John

The usual method is not to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
LR is designed to be the front-end, which pushes the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Aperture won't let import images because of inadequate space, even though teh drive has more than terabyte. Any ideas?

Aperture won't let me import images. It tells me that there is not enough space in the Aperture volume. I am directing the images to a remote drive that has plenty of space. Any ideas?

It tells me that there is not enough space in the Aperture volume.
Is your library managed or referenced? If referenced, are the library and the originals on the same volume? And how full are the system drive and the drive with the library?
I am directing the images to a remote drive that has plenty of space.
So your drive is not directly connected? What kind of drive? A NAS?
