Error and files unable to be read when importing into Lightroom

Hello! I have Lightroom 5.7 and am having an issue trying to import my photos. It comes up with error, cannot read photos and lists the photos that it canot read which is all of them, so it then proceeds to import nothing. I am able to import then into iPhoto fine but not ith Lightroom. Please help!

An exact quote of the error message would be helpful.
The most common cause of the "read" error is a problem writing to the primary destination or secondary destination. (Badly written error message.)
Verify the directory names for typos in the import dialog.
Using your OS tools (File Explorer or Finder) check the privileges on your destination directories; you need both read and write privs.

  • Download error "source file could not be read" when closing tab.

    So it seems like when I start a download by clicking a link on a website and I close that tab before the download finishes I get a download error and the file stops downloading.
    I first noticed this on some site and thought it was a problem with the site, but then it happened again when I went to download the Flash update.
    [http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3015/screenshot20110605at235.png Screenshot of the error message]
    When I run Firefox with add-ons disabled (thanks for the handy menu item) the problem does not occur.

    Whats the problem with this thing?
    One thing i can tell is that i changed some settings in Micromedia Flash, because i learned that they where spying on US, then boom no more download. It stops and tell me it could not be read from the server. Dont remember if it started right after i changed the settings, but its driving me nuts

  • Files seems to skip frames when importing into Premiere Elements 10

    I am importing .mts files from a sdhc card. When trying to import the .MTS Files into Adobe Premiere Elements 10 it skip frames at clip transitions. When i place the files onto the timeline it looks like a 'jump' between clips, as if frames were missing. The same happens when I import .vob files from a dvd. A long seqence gets interrupted by a quick drop in audo and a quick jumpcut. How do i fix this ?

    As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
    How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

  • Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

    I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
    Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

    "HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10.  HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
    Hmmm.  I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option.  But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD.  This is a very interesting program, Handbrake.  I will have to check it out.

  • Why are my all of my images underexposed when importing into Lightroom 5?

    Shooting with Canon Mark iii.  Histogram shows good exposures.

    I just realized it is a camera issue - thank you.

  • When i download any file it start in a second but when i pause the downloading file & after some time when i open it amessage flash 'download error' source file could not be read please try again later or contact the server administrator.

    when i download any file it works frequently and downloading start in a second but when i pause the downloading file & after some time when i open it,The downloading not start proper and after some time a message flash 'download error' source file could not be read please try again later or contact the server administrator.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it.  There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab.  I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted.  It didn't fix the problem.  Any more ideas?

  • Has anyone had the error "The file could not be read due to an error" when selecting ignore or replace image links. The linked images are in Dropbox if that helps.

    I am working on a Mac 10.9.5 with Adobe CS6. My files are locally in Dropbox but once we moved files to network and tried opening the AI - the file would not recognize the original folder location. I tried ignoring the missing images but then I receive the error - The file could not be read due to an error." The same error happens when I try replacing the first missing image. I know the problem lies in the images are linked back to my Dropbox but the AI file doesn't care since it won't let me replace or ignore the image links.

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

    Hello
    i am getting this error:
    Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error and was unable to
    complete your request.
    Could not connect to JRun Server.
    the problem is that when i try to submit for email i am

    the button is supposed to submit a email to ---->

    Sometimes a quick trick to try is to do a <CFABORT> on
    the first line of code..run it, nothing will happen, then take it
    out.. and when you run it again you'll probably get the detailed
    diagnostics that'll tell you what it's not happy about.
    Otherwise...just progressively comment out code until it
    starts working, and you've isolated where the issue is.

  • Make "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser

    I try to make the "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser dialog. Anybody
    knows how to do? Thanks.

    You mean so the user can't choose the name of the file to open or save? Not much point in even using a JFileChooser, then, is there? Or did I misunderstand the question?

    my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11.  Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade.  The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress! 
    PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

    I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

  • My iPhone isn't being read when plugged into my pc

    Before this occurrence my iPhone was read through iTunes and when manually photos and videos being imported to my pc.
    I plugged another iPhone into my pc and imported photos off it and removed the phone before it synced to my itunes, after that when I plug my iPhone into my pc it can't be read when importing photos and videos manually its being read as the other iPhone I plugged in before but my iPhone is still being read by iTunes.
    When I import the photos they're my photos, with a different iPhone name and I cannot change the image position through photo gallery only manually through paint and I want to know how my iPhone can be read properly again!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

    Hello all!
    I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
    Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

  • What happens to CC or Watermarks when imported into PrPro

    HI all,
    my question (s) are about information that is stored in the out of tv safety feilds when imported into Adobe premeir pro. files will be mpeg-2 video files SD and Hd
    1) what happens to closed Captioning data (does it get moved or is it stripped)?
    2) what happens to Nielsen watermarks on line 22 and 20?
    Can anybody give me an understanding of this.
    thank you much!!

    Nothing happens to the music on your computer. Nothing will "combine" unless this other person actually downloads something to your computer. Simply logging into an iTunes account does not instigate any automatic downloads of anything.
