Import problems in Lightroom cc 2015 for Mac

In Lightroom cc 2015 for Mac, import won't automatically start even though that box is checked in Preferences and when I manually start import the thumbnails are poor quality and when I check on one instead of getting larger it gets very small.

1. At what point does the import fail? When you click to go into the import dialog? At some point while viewing the import dialog? Or after you click the Import button in the import dialog?
My scenario: If the SD card contains mixed media (i.e. photos (jpg or raw) + MOV), when I click on File > Import Photos and Video, the thumbnail previews start to load and about 10 seconds later LR becomes unresponsive... this goes on for several minutes (I assume this is based on the amount of media on the card) after which time I get an error message from LR saying there were problems with the following files: (and it goes on to list only the MOV files). After I get this message, I am able to successfully import the photos only.
2. Can you import a single photo from a location on your local hard drive? (this helps eliminate whether the problem is with a specific card, card reader, or mixed media situation).
I have tried with multiple SD cards from 2 different cameras (Canon and Olympus) with the same EXACT behavior.
3. What does the failure look like? Is it a lock (Lightroom is running, but doesn't respond to mouse clicks, etc.)? Is it a crash (Lightroom shuts down unexpectedly)? Is it a failed import, but Lightroom continues to run? Is there any error message?
See #1 above.
Hope this helps.

As DJ said, this could be your problem. If you still have the photos on the card transfer them WITHOUT using Nikon Transfer (then I would delete Nikon Transfer so I wouldn't use it again). If you don't have the originals than this may help.

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via

Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush not working

Hi all, since updating to Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush has stopped working entirely. I can open the menu and it does display the brush within the menu. When dragging the tool into the image it changes to the mouse arrow which doesn't have any function. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help. Chris

And- do you actually press or hold down the left-mouse button and drag the cursor on the image? as you would a paint brush. A 'Pin' will appear where you start the brush stroke.
And- Is it possible that you have the switch at the base of the brush panel sliders turned off ? (The toggle switch on the same line as "Reset" and "Close")
Pressing "O" only turns the overlay mask on/off to give a visual indication 'Where' you have applied the brush.
Pressing "SHIFT+O" changes the colour of the MASK overlay- Red, Green, Grey, Clear
"O" does not affect any editing of the image.

Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC

Trying to upgrade Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC. After downloading the dmg file, I can't seem to install the program. I get an error message that states, "The following disk images couldn't be opened. Lightroom_5L511.dmg not recognized."
What do I need to do to be able to install the upgrade for Lightroom 5?
*note I just installed OSX 10.8.4

It's probably a corrupted download. Try re-downloading. If you're on a corporate network behind a proxy server, try finding reliable Internet ;-)

Horrendous import problems in Lightroom 3 64bit

Hi, I'm in desperate need of some advice in figuring out why Lightroom 3 won't import NEF files taken on a D90. I know there that other threads have been started about this issue, but mine has gone a bit further
Not sure where to start with this so system first: OS Windows 7 home Premium 64 bit, 8GB Ram, 1.5TB HD, Intel i7 860 2.8ghz, ATI Radeon 5700 Display driver series, lightroom 3 64 bit installed.
The first issue is that import in lightroom either A) Starts the import, gets through about 10 NEF files and locks/hangs indefinately followed by the Lightroom is not responding message and lightroom has to be closed down or B) Opens import module but locks/hangs whilst trying to find the images which are on an SD card - this happens whether the card is inserted into the PC card reader, an external card reader or direct from camera or C) Will not even consider opening the import module. The import module also freezes/hangs when trying to create a new catalogue. As it stands I'm unable to import directly into Lightroom from an SD card - and I've tried different cards and brands.
The strange thing is I'm having a similar issue trying to transfer the NEF files by using windows explorer - i.e. freezes & hangs, however after a number of attempts I am eventually able to copy the files over to the HD - although it is so slow.... & back-up to an external HD. Now here's the strange thing, once the NEFfiles are transfered onto the HD Lightroom will import them, but not without a fight. Again in the import module it freezes/hangs but when the "lightroom is not responding" message comes up, if you choose the "wait until lightroom" responds option it eventually imports the chosen files.
I've tried all the usual fixes - start a new catalogue, delete preferences & .lock files, unistall & re-install, update codecs for Nikon files, recalibrate the colour profile, use a generic sRGB profile, update ATI drivers etc
All other modules etc appear to work fine, although I don't use all of them, but certainly everything in library and develop aooears normal
As it currently stands I'm having to reconsider whether I want to continue investing in the Lightroom system as it just isn't acceptable for this to keep occuring and no fixes released by Adobe. I've used lightroom since 1.0 and Nikon NEf files through that time, but since version 3 it has become impossible to utilise
I'd be really grateful for any help or advice, be eternally grateful if someone has a fix or even better if Adobe fixed the bleeding issue!
Cheers
Steve

Unlike the end of the linked thread, the OP does not have the problem of a hidden-dialog waiting for input because the import finishes eventually when importing from the hard-drive.
In the linked thread, it is possible that Adobe would be entirely to blame for such a situation, but it is more likely that they are relying on the operating system and the display-driver to do certain things, and so are only responsible for detecting that something is wrong and handling it more gracefully. The problem might magically go away with the next version of LR, the next version of the display driver, or the next operating-system service pack or update. The hope would be that Adobe can reproduce the issue, and either fix their code, or at least provide a workaround for a buggy display driver. A main challenge for Adobe is that they have created their own look and feel for the product and have to get it to act the same on both the Windows and Mac platforms. That is not easy, and there are likely many bugs still to discover and fix.

Printing layout problem with Lightroom CC 2015 Release

Hello,
I am working with the following configuration :
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 Release
EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
I tried to print two images on a Super A3 paper sheet with an EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 directly from Lightroom and here is an example of what I expected (I resized and added a black border for better visibility on the forum):
This is the preview I have in the printing module of Lightroom and this is also what I have when I print to a JPEG file with Lightroom.
Sadly, after I launched the printing job, this is what came out of the printer:
As we can see, the layout of the two pictures has been shifted toward the top of the paper sheet (cropping the top of the first image in the process) and about 30% of the right part of the layout has not been printed.
Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong here?
For your information, I do not print very often so I am not 100% sure that I set everything correctly. However, I have been successfully printing in the past and it was with the same MacBook Pro on the same EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 printer but it was with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 and with Lightroom 5.x (I cannot remember exactly which version).
Moreover, because my print was urgent, I retried with a Windows machine running Lightroom 4.x with the same printer and it was a success. So I doubt that my initial settings on my MacBook Pro were wrong although I am not 100% sure.

I am in France and I found out that EPSON is providing at least two different files for its v9.33 driver that relate to the Stylus Pro 3880 with OSX:
epson16738.dmg: US version (https://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=141552&prodoid =63085147&infoType=Downloads&d…)
epson379436eu.dmg: French version (Support et téléchargements - Epson Stylus Pro 3880 - Epson)
and I realize that I was using the US driver which.
After few minutes of refection, I realized that the 3880 driver that I installed on my MacBook pro was the only piece that was present when my prints failed and absent when my prints succeeded. So I though it had found out the cause of my problems until I tried with the french driver (epson379436eu.dmg)...
In the meantime Adobe has release of new version of lightroom so let me recap my new configuration:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015.0.1 [ 1018573 ] (info available in Help menu > System info > Lightroom version)
EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
Epson driver v9.33 epson379436eu.dmg
... and the result of my test is ... nothing at all! Lightroom sends the the print job to the printer but nothing comes out of it.
However, when I printed to a file from lightroom and then tried to print this file with OS X Preview on the Epson 3880, it worked perfectly.
It also worked when I printed from Photoshop CC (2014.2.2).
It also worked when I printed from Lightroom but with a different printed and driver (Canon MF8580Cdw).
Therefore, among the five elements of my configuration cited above, there is none for which the printing job is always failing. It is hard to find out what is the faulty piece of software!

Why are missing items when import pst files to Outlook 2011 for mac?

Hello.
After installing Office 2011 for Mac I configured Outlook and it was allright.
But when I tried to import a pst file from the old laptop who has Office 2007, I found that in the Outlook 2011 Inbox I have only ~60% items comparative with the Outlook 2007 Inbox.
From Microsoft Office forums I've got an answer that there are indeed some reports with missing items when import pst in Outlook 2011 but the solution they gave me (create folders in Inbox before import) doesn't work.
Do you know something about this kind of problems?
Is it a feature in Outlook 2011 which automaticaly select/delete/combine items based on the similarity between them or based something else?
Have you an ideea how to finally use this macbook and in the same time all my old emails?
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

Importing Albums into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC

Has anyone had experience in importing a series of Albums - created in Photoshop Elements (6) for Windows - into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC? I have thousands of photos, arranged into separate Albums, that were created in Photoshop Elements for Windows and which were backed up onto an external harddrive, that I want to move into Photoshop Elements 8 for MAC. However, I do not see how to do this. HELP!!!

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Importing a pst file into Outlook for Mac

As soon as I start importing a pst file (from Outlook 2003) into Outlook for Mac 2011 I receive the following message in a pop-up window: "Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Can anyone advise what I should do next. This is the only hassle I've had in migrating from MS to Mac.
Thank you!

There is a Office for Mac Product Forums I'd recommend posting there because they have more experience with Microsoft products than most do on this forum.

Problem with Flash in Firefox for MAC

Hello,
I have a little trouble with flash in firefox ...
In fact, when I go on websites via firefox and it is the flash ... animation or flash application in meeting the latency to the point that even the youtube player lag when I also want to press the pause button (to pause the video) ...
Major latency problem also when I play games in flash ...
I tested the same sites in Safari and then everything is nikel I do not understand ...
I deleted the files "Player.plugin Flash" and "flashplayer.xpt" in the library of mac and reinstalling flash but it has not helped!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3
Désolé si mon anglais n'est pas parfait, je l'ai traduit avec google ...
je suis français
FRENCH VERSION :
Bonjour,
J'ai un petit soucis avec flash sous firefox...
En effet, quand je vais sur des sites via firefox et qu'il y a du flash... l'animation ou application sous flash rencontre des latences à tel point que même le player youtube lag également quand je souhaite appuyer sur le bouton pause (pour mettre en pause la vidéo)...
Gros problème de latence également quand je joue à des jeux sous flash... style "le 4ème duel"
j'ai tester les mêmes sites sous SAFARI et là tout est nikel je ne comprends pas ...
j'ai supprimé les fichiers "Flash Player.plugin" et "flashplayer.xpt" dans la bibliothèque de mac et réinstaller flash mais cela n'a rien arrangé !!!

That is a Microsoft Word issue, so you will get the best results asking over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums on Microsoft's web site. Many people here don't use MS Word, while everyone there does.

Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

"Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
Sure, why not?
You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player for Mac Air (Yosemite)

I got a message saying my Adobe Flash Player was out of date. This seemed strange because I'd been accessing videos within the last hour with no problems. I went ahead and opened the Mac version installer downloaded of the Adobe site. The install started and after inputting an Admin password, the download reached 25% almost immediately. Unfortunately, it's been stuck at 25% since then. I've tried starting over, deleting the download and re-downloading the update with no success. I've also temporarily disabled my AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. I tried to uninstall AFP so I could start over but the box that's supposed to tell me what uninstaller version to download has an error message saying I need to update AFP.
How can I fix this?
Edit: I thought maybe I was downloading an AFP for an earlier OS (I'm running 10.10.2). I made sure to download the latest version of AFP for Mac possible. The install is now stuck at 30%. (Just to be clear, I downloaded the install package with no problem - the issue is with the install program itself pausing at 30%.)
Edit 2: I figured out which uninstall package I needed (using this page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS) but upon reinstalling AFP, it's stuck again at 25% of download.
Edit 3: The message "Connection failed. Trying to reconnect" has appeared, followed quickly by "connection failed". Guess I'll try again.

I've double-checked to make sure that I've selected "Allow Internet Plug-ins" under Safari>Preferences>Security. I've read in other threads that this is one possible solution but it isn't useful to me since I've uninstalled AFP and but I've been unable to reinstall it.
Edit: I'm not sure if Youtube is supported by a different software package but I can watch any videos on that site with no problem.
