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.

Help with importing files into elements catalog?

I recently downloaded HD home video's to my computer and when I open Pre elements 9.0 it gives me the message saying new files have been downloaded since last launch of elements organizer. Elements will now import these files into a catalog. it starts and listed the mov file but is stuck and will not respond.
Any idea's?

jsguild
What is the format of these HD home video's that you are trying to import into Elements Organizer 9?
Try importing one of them into a Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 new project and determining if a copy of the video gets automatically placed in Elements Organizer 9.
More later.

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.
What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
The camera has the latest software.

I've now tested in various ways.
First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
Which can be translated:
"The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)
Property 1-100
etc. "

Importing Files into Lightroom 4.1 (Win) Stopped Working

Okay, I am at my wits end as I am no longer able to import any new files into Lightroom. I was in the middle of an import and all of a sudden it stopped and the program hung. I am running Win 7 64 with an i7 with 12 gigs of RAM. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom multiple times (Using both the windows installer and via Lightroom and then searched to see if there were any orpne files on my drive. ) , did a system restore to a point about a month ago, tried importing a simple jpeg file from the hard drive as well as CR2 files (Canon) and even DNG files. Also tried setting up a new catalogue with no success. Plenty of hard drive space and no drive errors. . There is nothing wrong with the files as I can open them in Photoshop. I can see the files on the import screen though they are not always rendered. When I choose import it just starts, says Importing files... and hangs. When I finally give up, and I have waited an hour or more, and kill the process I get the message - No photos or videos were found to import. Other tidbits. Takes a long time to be able to select files to import from the import screen. System seems to run for some time before I can select or deselect (If this were a Mac it would show a beach ball during this wait) Each time I quit or try to change catalogues it asks for the weekly backup (my default) even though I backed it up sometimes as recently as within the past 10 minutes and those backups appear to be valid and in the directory. Every other feature, including Export seems to work I just can no longer import files. I am open to any and all suggestions I am not a LR novice and pretty knowedgable about the Win operating system.

Thanks, but that did not help. HOWEVER, after an hour on the phone with support this morning I, meaning we, have resolved the problem. It appears to be a problem with my WIndows 7 User Account. I created a new Administrator User Account and everything works fine. Now I am going to troubleshoot my original user account to see if I can repair it or, (A) Use this new account for Lightroom and Photoshop or (B) move all my preferences to this new user account. Things were so much easier in the C: Prompt/Registry world but, of course, that was when I still had a darkroom and not a Lightroom.

Help with importing files

Hello everyone,
FYI
[I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
server]
I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
I have a topic and I go to create a text.
I highlight the text I want linked
go to "Insert hyperlink"
choose "Link to file"
Browse to my file.
When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
project. I click yes.
I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
well most of the time it does)
I save, check everything in.
When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
found"
Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
doing. :(
Thanks,
mj

Hi MJ,
Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
that are generated to a different location than where the working
files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
working for me.
Regards,
Fred

Help with importing pictures in Lightroom

I have Lightroom 3 I’m trying to add my pictures from my Sony when I import the pictures Lightroom comes up with “The following files were not imported because they could not be read” I have windows 7

Also, are you trying to import directly from the camera, or via a card reader? If your camera is on the supported list (and that's my first guess too), then try copying the files to your hard drive and importing from there, and see if that works.

Importing files into Lightroom 4

I have been using Lightroom 4 without a problem. Suddenly it refuses to import files from any source: my camera, a card reader or the hard disk.
What can I do? I have reinstalled the software from the original disk, but it still will not import images.

What happens when you try to import? Is there an error message? If so, please quote it word-for-word.
Is this a new computer? Are you using a new camera? Are the photos JPG or RAW? Please give us details.

Help with missing files within lightroom

I need help locating the missing files within lightroom. When I click on the question mark to locate the files, it opens up a window and I click locate, and then the files are no longer there. This happens even on files that I have not moved out of lightroom. How can I make all of my files appear as they used to? Thanks so much!

You have to find the photos on your hard disk, somewhere. At this point, Lightroom can't help you because it doesn't know where the photos are. If they haven't been renamed, you can have your operating system search all of your hard disk(s) for a specific photo name. Then, you can reconnect entire folders (or folder hierarchies) via

Help with importing items into flash

OK, I have modified a flash site to accomplish everything I
would like except one item and this has me stumped. I have several
"more" buttons on my site that all go to the same frame, but insert
differnent text dependent on which "more" button is clicked
(reference
www.tlcbuildersllc.com).
Everything is imported from xml functions and files.
Here is the xml function script from one file
(xmlFunctions.as) for the "more" buttons
function more_click_func(number) {
num=_root.pagesReadMoreFrame;
currentPage=_root.link-_root.firstPageFrame;
if(_root.link<>num and _root.animation==1) {
_root.animation=0;
_root.link_prev=_root.link;
_root.menu["item" +
getMenuPreviousLink(_root.link)].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.menu2["item" +
getMenuPreviousLink(_root.link)].gotoAndPlay("s2");
if (number==999999) {
sectionNum=getXmlSection(mainObj, "section",
"privacyPolicy");
titleNum=getXmlSection(mainObj.section[sectionNum], "item",
"pageTitle");
textNum=getXmlSection(mainObj.section[sectionNum], "item",
"pageText");
_root.readMoreTitle=mainObj.section[sectionNum]["item"][titleNum].value;
_root.readMoreText=mainObj.section[sectionNum]["item"][textNum].value;
else {
sectionNum=getXmlSection(mainObj, "section", "pages");
linkCount=checkLinkType("readMoreLink", number);
i=0;
linkTitleNum=getXmlSection(mainObj["section"][sectionNum]["page"][currentPage]["link"][li nkCount],
"item", "title");
linkTextNum=getXmlSection(mainObj["section"][sectionNum]["page"][currentPage]["link"][lin kCount],
"item", "linkText");
_root.readMoreTitle=mainObj["section"][sectionNum]["page"][currentPage]["link"][linkCount ]["item"][linkTitleNum].value;
_root.readMoreText=mainObj["section"][sectionNum]["page"][currentPage]["link"][linkCount] ["item"][linkTextNum].value;
_root.link=num;
_root.play();
which calls items out of another file (tfile_main.xml) with
script like this
<pageText><![CDATA[
LATEST PROJECTS?
]]></pageText>
<pageText><![CDATA[
12.15.2007
text omitted to shorten post <a
href="asfunction:_root.more_click_func,0">more</a>
<link linkType="readMoreLink">
<item name="title"><![CDATA[
Latest Project
]]></item>
<item name="linkText"><![CDATA[
text omitted to shorten post]]></item>
</link>
Then, in the flash file (main.fla), on a layer of the read
more frame, I have this script
thisTitle.htmlText=_root.readMoreTitle;
thisText.htmlText=_root.readMoreText;
_root.textSelectable(thisText);
_root.textSelectable(thisTitle);
Now I know the above script is for text boxes, but I figure a
similar layer or MC script will be needed to add unique avi files
and pics for each individual "more" button that is selected. Any
help would be appreciated, I have tried many different things and
have not been able to accomplish this task.

Why are my ratings missing when I import files into Lightroom?

Files that I have previously rated with stars in Bridge appear in my Lightroom catalog after DNG conversion without them. I am having to select all the images and use the 'Update DNG Preview and Metadata' command after ever import. Interestingly, this did not used to occur. What preference do I need to reset?
Bridge CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 on a Mac

I'm still not sure I understand. When you say the develop module changes every picture, do you mean adjustments get applied? In LR4, the "Basic" panel (top right in Develop module) all the sliders are zero (centred) unless adjustments have been applied. If they're not centred, then maybe an auto adjustment has been applied? See Jim's post above.
Also, in Edit menu, Settings, Presets tab, make sure "Apply auto tone adjustments" is NOT checked.
If you want the pictures to look the way the camera jpegs look, then apply a "Camera..." profile. In Develop module, bottom right, "Camera Calibration" panel, there's a drop-down adjustment "Profile:". The default is probably "Adobe Standard". A better match for the Canon picture profiles is to choose "Camera standard", "Camera neutral" etc. These match closely the equivalent profiles in Canon cameras (Standard, Neutral etc).
Lightroom can't read what was set in the camera, but you have to apply this in Lightroom. However you can automate it by creating develop presets (see the help). You can apply presets when you import images. When you import, there's a "Apply During Import" panel to do this.

Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

Please help.
I have an external hard drive with my music on it. I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist.
Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
Thanks,
Michelle

Is the external drive connected?
Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

Is anyone else having issues with importing files into FCP X

Trying to import .mov files from older system into FCP X on a new iMac with Lion OSX. Anyone else having similar issues?

What kind of files are they?
You may open them in Quicktime Player, and do a "Get Info" on them, and post that information here.
It may be that they use some codec that FCP X can't handle.
If that is the case, use the excellent and free program MPEG Streamclip to save them to Quicktime format using the ProRes codec.

Help with importing mp3s into iTunes

Hi, I'm running the newest version of iTunes and having problems loading mp3s into the library in correct order. I'm not sure how the mp3s i want to import are tagged, but when i import them, iTunes arranges them automatically by song name (alphabetically) and loses the track order.
1) how do i import them keeping the same track order (in future)?
2) how can i re-order the existing ones i've imported into the library already as efficiently as possible (without going into the 'get info' option and adding track numbers for each of the separate tracks (i have several thousand like this - they are mainly live concerts)?
Many thanks for any help, its much appreciated!

You don’t say quite enough to be sure if I am being helpful or how much you know, but …
Start in the library window with browse on and select an album. (Click on the little eye, upper right of screen if you don’t see the browser).
You can then use “Get info” to inspect some of your imported tracks for that album. If you click on the info tab, you should see a field for track number. If you have a correct track number in this field, you should be able to sort by track number.
If you don’t see a Track # column to sort on, you and bring it into view by right clicking on the header row (Name, Artist, Album etc) and then checking Track number.
You can sort on any column by clicking the header.
I ripped all my CDs with Free Realplayer and imported the tracks into iTunes when I got an iPod – all the track numbers were already correct.
