IMPORT ISSUE: LR 5 NOT SHOWING ANY PICTURES FROM ANY FOLDERS ON IMPORT

Hi there I am using LR5 on Macbook pro OSX vs 10.9.5. I am attempting to import photos from a folder on my hard drive. I cannot get LR5 to recognise any photographs in the folder. Indeed it will not recognise any photographs in any of my system folders or on my external drive. I have checked for XMP files as I heard they can be a conflict but there are none in my folders. I have attempted importing via different methods including drag and drop onto the LR icon but to no avail. This is confusing as all was working fine until recently. I am in desperate need to get this fixed as I am on a shoot tomorrow and need LR! Please can anyone help? Many thanks Steve Please see a screengrab below.

OK...very strange. I had the 'Destinations' tab collapsed. When I clicked to expand it the photos suddenly showed up!
I was attempting to 'Add' photos before (in which case the Destinations is irrelevant) In ''Copy'' or 'Move' the destinations seems to want to be expanded as a tab. Now when I go back into 'Add' the picture imports are working. Thanks for your help and I hope that this might help someone else.

LR5 Import Issue: Photos do not show in import window

When trying to import CR2/JPEG files into LR5, the import window shows the file folders empty even though I can see the files in windows explorer. I've also importing them from different locations (From the camera, memory card, hard drive) and still shows up blank. The kicker is I can open/import them through canon DPP and LR 4.4.
Here are some specifics of my system:
Tested on Windows 7 64bit
Running administrative account with no permission issues
I've uninstalled/installed LR5 several times which didn't resolve the issue
I've tried importing an upgrade of my existing LR4.4 catalog and also with a new catalog.
I created a video that captures my normal workflow. As you can see, LR5 cannot see any of the photos (CR2 and JPG) from the memory card or hard drive but LR4.4 can see them both with no issues. Any help would be great.

I don't read that you have atttempted to reset your preference file. That would be my next troubleshooting step. http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I dont't like pre-visualization for photos.

I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I need an app that allows me to navigate through the photos without selecting all of them. I realy dont't like pre-visualization for photos...

In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them?
iPhoto is a Database. Before it can work with any data it must be imported to the database, so yes it is necessry to import them.
Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing?
See above.
If not, is there any application with this functionality?
Hundreds. Any image viewer will do the job. On your Mac the Finder has QuickLook and there is the Preview app as well. Online you can download any of these:

My photo album does not show the pictures I have taken! Any help?

My photo album does not show the pictures I have taken, they show up on my iMac through iCloud but not on my phone. Also my videos do not show up that I take.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Cd's not showing up in ITUnes so I can import

I have one CD that does not show up in ITunes so i can import it. All my others do. Any suggestions????
I also have 1 CD that imports but when I play it in ITunes the song skips. ANy suggestions?

There is no way around the copy-protection to get these CD's to import correctly. If they are new, I would suggest taking them back to the store, politely explaining to a manager that as far as you're concerned the CD's are defective since you can't get them to import into iTunes correctly. Remember Sony is the one who brought us the "root-kit" spyware with their CD copy protection last fall.
Even though a Mac can handle these types of CD's, I personally refuse to buy them as the recording industry is denying all of us our fair use rights by placing this junk on the CD.

I backed up by phone and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them help

I backed my phone up and now icloud is not showing my pictures over 1400 of them. help?

Why do you believe this is true?
If you had PhotoStream turned on and your photos were syncing to it, PhotoStream holds the last 30 days worth of photos (up to 1000 photos maximum) in the cloud and they should sync back to the phone. Any photos taken more than 30 days ago and any photos greater than the 1000 photo capacity of PhotoStream, will have already been purged from the cloud and are no longer available for download.
IF you had photostream turned on, it stands to reason that you probably also had iCloud backups turned on, in which case you should be able to wipe the phone (settings>General>Resets>Erase all content and Settings) and restore it from your most recent iCloud backup.

Also, please note that the default installation of Lync uses SQL Server Express and you don't need to provide the SQL server.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Are you referencing Apple's Preview application or the Preview panel in Bridge? Huge difference.
Try purging the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.

You access them in the event they are in or under Photos or from an album if they are in an album - simply drag them to the book project in the source pane on the left
