Importing from Nikon D5000 causes crash

Every time I try to use the 'Import' feature on LR5 (and LR4 when I had it), I get to the import screen, can see my D5000 highlighted on the left under 'devices', but LR crashes every single time.
I have to use Windows to drag files across into a folder on my desktop and import from there, with no trouble at all.
I have no problems whatsoever with my D70 (which uses a CF card, rather than a SD card like my D5000), but I have never managed to get the D5000 to import directly.
I don't get any error message, the little loading wheel bottom left just stops freezing, the whole program stops responding, and I end up having to kill it via task manager.
Has anyone experienced this, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks so much

I don't own one, as I normally just plug my camera straight into my computer. I just wondered if there was a lazier way
Thanks so much.

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.

Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
When I try to open the file I get the following error message:
"cannot open that file
the file uses an unsupported file compression format"
I really need urgent help with this so if you know a soloution, please post it!

I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
Or, Google
convert mjpeg avi
To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

Iphoto 9.5.1 imports from nikon D7100 are flat

My iphoto 9.5.1 imports from nikon D7100 are flat, and the iPhoto controls do not seem to give as much control as earlier version i am upgrading from.

Export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop and view them with Preview. Do they look flat there?
Are you shooting RAW or JPEGs?

Importing photos from Nikon D5000 into iphoto

I just got a Nikon D5000 and cannot import my photos directly from the camera to iphoto using the USB cable supplied with the camera. I have no trouble when I use my D80 camera - plug it in to the USB and iphoto starts importing automatically. What am I doing wrong? I even tried using the Nikon Transfer software that came with the camera, but no luck there either. I have already made sure the connections are tight, camera is on and in play mode. I don't know what else to try. Very frustrating...grrrrr.

Lisa, attach the camera to your Mac, and then launch Image Capture. See what is set as the default whe this particular camera is connected.

Iphoto 7.1.5 won't import RAW from Nikon D5000

Just got a new Nikon D5000. Imported a few JPGs fine but the RAW files are unrecognizable. What gives? Did not have problems with my RAW files from my old Nikon D70.

I got a NIkon P6000 and their RAW file format, .NRW is not compatible with Macs although Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 make a stab at it. I have CS3, of course, and Lightroom 1. SO, I thought of returning the camera and getting the Canon G10. Now, it turns out one needs Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 to process Raw files in CS3 and LR 1. OK, so I have not been able to find Camera Raw 4. They take you only to 5. You guessed it - only compatible with CS4, etc. Anybody know how to work with Canon Raw files in Photoshop CS3? Or where I can get Adobe Camera Raw 4.0?
Thanks

Updates for raw files from Nikon D5000 on a photoshop elements 7 /windows 7 system

I have photoshop elements 7 but it won't open raw files from a nikon D5000 although I've followed the links and updated. It still says it won't open because it's the wrong type of file..I've downloaded a DNG converter but still nothing is happening.

You download and installed the camera raw 5.6 plugin, by following install directions on the following page?
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.6 update
If you have a windows 7 64 bit system, then the Camera Raw.8bi plugin goes in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
(the path adobe gives is for a 32 bit windows system)
Also, use the Camera Raw.8bi outside the folder named Win64

Movies re-imported from external drive after crash will not sync to iPod

A while back my hard drive crashed. I had backed up all my iTunes music and movies to an external drive, so I re-imported them to the repaired hard drive after it was installed. All of the music (purchased and ripped) transferred fine, but the movies I had purchased from iTunes will not sync back to my iPod. I've tried selecting them individually under the Movies tab in the "My iPod" screen within iTunes and then syncing, but nothing happens. I've tried re-importing from iTunes and doing the same thing, but to no avail. Help!

while the iPod is connected to itunes, control-click on its name in the source list on the left. click Reset Warnings. try another sync with the movies you want selected. you should get a warning that says either something like this: "There is not enough room on the iPod to sync all selected material. please remove some items." or something like this: "the format of the videos is not supported by the iPod" if it says the first one, do option 1. if it is the second one, do option 2. if it is neither of them, i don't have any ideas.
1.The iPod doesn't have enough space on it to fit all of the video. you have to take someting off the ipod to put anything more on.
2. you need to select the movies in iTunes, then go to the advanced menu and click Create iPod/iPhone Version, or Convert for iPod or iPhone, whichever appears. that will make a copy of the videos in a format that the ipod can read. you can remove the original copy from your library. you can keep the files if you want. now just select the new ones and sync them. everything should work.

Importing from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom

Lightroom does not seem to recognize my Nikon D7000. I connect the camera, open LR, and nothing happens. I can click Import, but it doesn't recognize the device. The D7000 comes with Nikon's ViewNX2 software which they want you to use for import. Do I really need to use that to import photos from the camera, then import them from ViewNX2 into LR? That seems like a pain. I just upgraded to LR 3.6 so I don't think that's the issue.
Thanks for any help!
Carrie

Carrie,
3.6 will read your D7000 files. In general it's best to use a card reader, but the camera should work. I'm not familiar with the D7000, but my D300 has two modes for USB: PTP and Mass Storage. The camera has to be set to Mass Storage to read images from it. Your camera may be the same.
If that isn't the case, try using Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder to drag and drop your pictures from the camera to your hard disk and then import from there.
Let us know how it goes.

Aperture refuses to import from Nikon D300

After Yesterdays update Aperture refuse to import RAW files from my Nikon D300 as it did before. I get the message "0 images has been imported...".
I can import to iPhoto and them export to Aperture so the RAW files seems OK.
And I can still import JPEGS from my small Canon IS850 directly to Aperture
Larsan

I am doubting this has to do with updating to Aperture 2.1.2, but rather might be related to Camera RAW 2.3 -- what version of Camera RAW have you installed?
In the a topic about auto-rotation here, there are confirmed problems with not only auto-rotation, but also recognizing as duplicates any images remaining on the card that have previously been imported. The auto-rotation problem, at least in the Previews, is common to both Aperture and iPhoto 08, so clearly points to CRAW 2.3.
We need to see if your experience might also be related to CRAW 2.3. I am having no problem importing from a card reader with cards used in my D200 and D300 cameras, however, other than those mentioned in that topic.

Why won't LR5 automatically save my original RAW imports from Nikon D7100?

Why won't LR5 save my original RAW imports from D7100. I can import them and process them but the originals are then lost. What am I doing wrong? With every other camera the original RAW image is saved in the library.

Another guess as to what is happening is that your Folders panel section was accidentally closed/hidden in Library.
To fix this, right-click on another section name in the lefthand panel and put a checkmark next to Folders.
The possible sections on the left in Library are:
Navigator (which cannot be closed or right-clicked on)
Catalog
Folders
Collections
Publish Services
A variation of this situation would be that instead of hiding the Folders section entirely, you've merely collapsed it.
To reveal the list of folders click the triangle that is pointing towards Folders so that it points down at a now expanded Folders section.

Photoshop CC not allowing JPEG import from Nikon D800 - Photoshop CS6 worked fine.

When inporting JPEG from Nikon D800 nothing happens - screen remains blank.
Went back to my provious version (Photoshop CS6) and it worked fine.

Curt Y gave you some good advice.
Remove your memory card from the camera and plug it into a card reader.
Drag/copy the files from the memory card to your hard drive.
Eject your card from the card reader and reinsert into camera.
Then open the files from the hard drive.
It is not a good idea to open/work on files on the memory card, while either in the camera or the card reader.
Yes, you may have done this differently in the past, but it is much SAFER to work on the files after they have been moved to your hard drive.
Please try the above proceduce and report back if you are still having issues.

Import from Sony NEX-6 crashes iPhoto?

My wife got a new Sony NEX-6. We're back from a vacation and I'm trying to import her photos into iPhoto. After crashing iPhoto about 20 times, I still haven't imported half of her photos. I have copied all her photos to my Mac, and I just drag a folder of them to iPhoto. If it's not the first time I've tried to import that forlder, I tell iPhoto not to import photos already imported. iPhoto works a while and then crashes. When I restart it, it says it found photos that weren't imported and would I like to import them. I say yes, and some of the photos it had been working on when it crashed end up getting imported. Repeat until you pull your hair out. This problem is not just with one memory card, but occurs with all eight memory cards she used in her NEX-6 on our trip. I imported all my photos from my Canon S95 without a hitch, as normal. But there's something about importing photos that were taken on a Sony NEX camera that causes iPhoto to crash quite often.
My wife uses Aperture and didn't have a problem importing her photos into Aperture.
I've seen discussions on other fora about others seeing the same problem with other Sony NEX cameras, so I know this isn't just me.
Any thoughts?

My wife took several thousand photos on our trip. iPhoto will import anywhere between 5 and 123 photos before it crashes, so it's not every photo that crashes iPhoto, but just some of them. (I don't remember the exact numbers of photos that iPhoto has been able to import before crashing, but sometimes it's just a few, and sometimes it can import more than a hundred before it crashes. So, to do an exhasutive test of what you're describing, I'd have to manually open and save a lot of photos to prove anything. Are you thinking of this as a fix, or just a way to gather more information about the problem?

Files won't import from Nikon D3200 camera into LR5

I've just installed LR 5.7.1. I have the camera plugged in directly (Nikon D3200). The thumbnails from my camera are available (I've deselected a few of the images that I don't want to import). The default 'Pictures' folder on my hard drive is the selected destination. I click the 'Import' button and the "Importing files..." message appears and just hangs, nothing imports (camera battery dies after a few hours). The "Copy and Import photos" progress bar at the top left doesn't show any progress. Any suggestions?

* Thank you for the suggestion.
Additional info: I can not get the images onto my MacBook Pro via Image Capture either. Same situation, the images appear in thumbnail but after I click import nothing happens. However, I am able to get the pictures onto a separate MacBook via Image Capture indicating that there is something wrong with my system or it's settings. Both computers are running OS X Yosemite.

Importing from Nikon D200 on Windows Vista

I have lightroom 1.0 and a Nikon D200 - running in PTP mode - when I import photos - lightroom states no photos to import.
If I switch to Mass Storage Mode - lightroom shows me the photos on the card, but I cant select "Move photos and import".
So I have to copy the photos to my harddrive first, then I can move them into my library - not very pratically
Anybody found a solution to this irritating workflow ?
Regards
Kurt

Thom Hogan recommends transferring pictures by using a card reader, rather than tranferring from the D200. http://www.bythom.com/d200guide.htm
I agree with him.
I do not move photos from the card. Instead I copy them, back them up, and verify that they have copied properly before deleting them from the card. If there is a problem moving the files, you could lose your photos.
I am waiting for all of you to test and identify problems with Vista before I upgrade, so I do not know if Vista has problems with card readers.
