Help importing pics to LR

I just got a Fujifilm xpro1 camera and when I tried to import my photos to LR4 they would not import. I though it might be a problem with OS so I upgraded from OS 10.6.8 to 10.8.4 & uprgaded to LR5. But still, when I try to inport from the xpro1 I get an LR message saying "The following files were not imported because they could not be read". Occurs to both the jpeg and .RAF files. I have a macbook pro 17", 2.8 GHz intel core 2 Duo machine

I have the same problem with my iMac. Lightroom 5 worked beautifully for 5 days, then suddenly it could see the photos but not import them. It is not the preference file, I threw it out and Lightroom rebuilt it, nor is it the permissions in the source folders (I have checked the whole string from the hard drive, to my pictures folder, to the Lightrooom folder and all its sub-folders.)
I have contacted Adobe Help, but await a reply - they are not overly customer focussed to my mind.
I know the experts say not, but I am sure there is a bug fix needed in Lightroom 5, but who am I to complain - I am just a stupid customer who should know better. All I can say is that every other photo processing program I have, including Photoshop, has no problem, or ever has had.
If any of you users who had the same problem and found a fix, please let me know, as I am trying hard to like Lightroom.
By the way, my camera is the new Leica M, which is supported by Lightroom - Leica even gives a free copy of this software.

Martin, can you d/load them to your HD using Image Capture and then import them to Lightroom using ADD???

  • I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything.  possible to reverse this?  options?  restore hd from time machine?  pls help!!!

    long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder.  is it possible to reverse this?  what are my options?  restore hd from time machine?  
    a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd.  does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup?  this is confusing to me.
    another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates!  what's up with that? 
    I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite.  the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop.  also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help. 
    any advice would be appreciated! 
    thanks!!

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

  • Getting imported pics off the ipad 2.  HELP!

    I used a camera connection kit to import pics from my Digital Camera to my iPad 2.  Now I have a ton of pics on my ipad that I want to put on my computer.  I have a PC with Win 7.  How can I do this?  It gives me too many warning questions in iTunes for me to try without asking the community first.  The last thing i want is to lose those pics.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Imported pics are not saved

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.15.
    Since a few weeks iPhoto is not saving my imported pics anymore. Each time I'm importing my pics from my iPhone or my SD card it seems to be ok. But after I restart iPhoto the next time all the pics are lost. And I have to import them again. Luck for me that I didn't delete them on the card or iPhone.
    I looked at the apple support page, but I couldn't find any software updates.
    Anyone an idea what the problem could be? I'm pretty new in the apple world, and don't have much experience in the mac system.
    Thx for your help
    Timo

    Damaged database file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Importing pics from my device to my computer

    Hi Everyone,
    I have had my Tour 9630 for years and never had a problem importing pics until yesterday. I can see the pics I want to import on my phone but when I connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, they don't show up in the "Pictures" tab under "Media Sync" I get the following message, "There are no pictures to import from your device"
    Also, when I connect the USB cable from the phone to the Tour, I also get this message, "Do you want to turn on Mass Storage Mode? You might not be able to access some media files in this mode" This is the first time that I have seen this message.
    One last item, I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday (24 MAR) and using my micro card in their machine, printed one pic. This is where I believe my problem started because it seems the Desktop Software can read the micro card any more. Can anyone out there get me back to the point where I can import my pics again using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? Also, is there a USB type device out there that I can insert my micro card into and download my pics until I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    1Lonewolf
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I can't tell you why the Desktop Software stopped working for you...I personally never use it for that purpose at all. Rather, I use Mass Storage Mode, which allows me to treat my BB as a USB drive (2 drives, if there is a media card in the BB) from my Windows computer...allowing me to drag/drop all files that I desire to/from the BB in any manner I choose.
    If you want to pursue that, refer:
    KB11879 What is mass storage mode

    There are many types of USB SD card readers available for computers. Some are large devices, internally installed into the PC. Others are an adapter with a USB plug on one end, and an SD Card Slot on the other. And there are many variations in between. You should shop for a USB SD Card reader device and choose the one that best meets your needs for price and capability.
    Good luck!

  • Can't import pic's when I save my movie to an external drive

    Hi,
    When my Movie is saved to my Macintosh HD I can import pic's with no problem from iPhoto through the media pane in iMovie. Then when I save the movie file to my external HD (becasue these movie files get so big) I can't import pic's anymore. The import files dialogue box shows up, then the pic flashes in the timeline for a split second and then it disappears, or it will show up in the timeline as an all black image, but no pic. It must be something to do with my external HD, but what? Are movie files in iMovie usually saved to external drives with no problems, or is this a common occurence? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Dylan
    PS. I have the latest version of iMovie HD

    Hey Sue,
    Thanks for the reply. The external drive is formatted MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I had to do this because I had problems with it at first when I was using it interchangeably with a Mac and a PC. When it was Mac formatted it wouldn't be compatible with my PC for some reason (or I could read files, but couldn't write - something like that). Any suggestions?
    Thanks again,
    Dylan

  • Importing pics

    I am trying to import pics from the iPhoto library folder to the iPhoto library or a new album. When I do, i get a dialog box that states "can not import, file already exists in iPhoto library folder". Ihave tried clicking and dragging with the same results. These are pics that I pulled from a video clip in iMovie and they have the .jpg suffix. The only way I found that works is to drag them from the library folder onto the desk top and then into the library. This seems to do something magical that allows the import. Problem is there are a hundred pics! I would like to select all and do them at once if at all possibe.
    Thank you

    Be very careful when mucking about in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Don't try to rename, move, or otherwise reorganize anything except for these pics that don't work.
    For items to get into the iPhoto Library, they must be imported by iPhoto. So to prevent this from happening again, if you create a new file or Save As when you edit a photo, save it to a folder outside of your iPhoto library, like in a folder on the desktop. Import into iPhoto, and then you can delete the desktop folder once iPhoto has put them in its library.
    You have found the way to fix the problem: the pics must be removed from the Library and imported properly. In Finder, use the Columns view. You will see a thumbnail of the picture, with info beneath, to help identify it. To select a contiguous range of files, click on the first and Shift-Click on the last. To select non-contiguous files, use Command-Click. Drag to a folder on the desktop.

  • Importing pics for blank album covers

    I copied over 100 cds into iTunes...now, of course, all I see is blank album covers when I flip through my albums...is there a way to import pics of album covers? I am loving my iPhone, but it would be so much oooler to be able to flip through album covers...like in the commercial

    In iTunes, you can pull down under Advanced to "Get Album Artwork". If the iTunes store can find the same name for album it should get it.
    If they're albums that iTunes can't find, you can get either an album cover picture or any other picture and copy it. Select the song (or multiple songs) in your library, Get Info, and paste it in the artwork spot.
    Hope that helps!

              I have a 1st generation ipod nano that after my computer crashed is unknown to it and so now it has some really important pics i want to keep but every time i try it says it will delete everything does anyone know how to get around this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    You'll need to the help of some sort of third party software to assist you with this task.  Here is one option.
      http://www.macroplant.com/phonetopc/
    It might not hurt to Google for more.
    Keep in mind that these pics are no longer in their original size and resolution, but instead are now scaled down thumbnail versions of the original, optimized to fit on your iPod's display.

    NOTE:  I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store.  I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

    If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
    You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
    Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button.   I have to force quit Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button.  Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button.  The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload.  It has never done that before.  It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
    It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open.  I have to force quit aperture.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
