Importing photos from CF card to lightroom. Results say files could not be imported as they could not be read.

Please help. I'm trying to import photos from my CF card and lightroom says "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read." Can someone explain a step by step way to import these photos please as I am not that proficient on such matters?!

So, I'm replying to myself I guess because I figured it out! Go to Import in lightroom, choose Destination which is bottom right corner, select applications and then select Adobe Photoshop CS5. I'm not sure why the lightroom application did not show up under applications, but I tried this and it worked. Also not sure if I clicked any other Adobe application it would have worked, but I don't plan to change anything unless someone tells me this is an issue.
This is most simplistic way for me to explain it and if I can understand it anyone can. This worked for me the first time, hopefully it will be that easy for you!

Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac

Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

they are in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
Or -- a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".. This has never happened before.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have never had this happen before. I use a MacBook Pro

I also have the exact same issue. New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC. The import stopped when the network connection was lost. Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders. I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.

IPhoto hung importing photos from SD card and is now not responding

Importing photos from SD card (canon raw format) and iPhoto hung and is no longer responding have to firce quit to get out of it. Suggestions on reinstalling iPhoto. or?

I was able to resolve the issue through forcing the image capture program to quit through the activity monitor and reboot the machine and everything seems to function fine now. Imported the pics, all 240 of them in RAW format.

I can't import photos from microSD card.

I can't import photos from MicroSD card. I have an Android phone and it's getting too full. I have to import the photos into iPhoto ASAP. First I tried using the Android Transfer Files app to transfer the photos directly from my phone and it didn't work. So I inserted a microSD card into my phone and transferred photos onto that. Used a card reader through USB and still nothing. iPhoto shows absolutely nothing loading using either method. I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. My phone can't take anymore photos. I've contacted AT&T, Apple, Pantech, and Android and not a single person could help me. A guy from Pantech actually told me I should have got an iPhone. I told him if I could have afforded it I would have. NEED YOUR HELP PLEEEEEASE!!! Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Copy the photos from the card to a folder on the desktop. Then import them from there to iPhoto. If that works you can delete them from the card.

Importing photos from SD card to Blackberry OS10 device

Is there a way of importing photos from SD card directly to Blackberry Z10 using card reader and USB OTG cable (ie. not using a PC ) ? My camera has no WIFi or NFC. Thank you.

Hi!
I don't understand You clearly, I think. Why do You need cardreader if Z10 just has SD slot? Anyway, Z10 hasn't USB OTG at all. Z30 and Passport only have that feature.

Lightroom stopped importing photos from cf card and other programs

The program just stalls when I try to import photos from Thumbs or the CF card. When I hit on help I got this error:
Database"C/.....\Lightroom Catalot.Ircat": PRIMARY KEY must be unique
Statement: INSERT INTO AgLibrary TagImage(id_local, flattenedParams, image, pick, postitionInCollection, tag, tagKind)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,);
What's going on? Is there something wrong with my catalogue? I attached a screen shot of the error I got above
when I tried to hit the help option in the menu.
Please Help!
THanks.

Catalog is corrupted. STart a new catalog or restore catalog from backup if you have a fresh one. If you have done too much work to lose since the last catalog backup, try sending it to Dan Tull ([email protected]) - he might help.

Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

I have the following problem:
I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
The problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
(Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
Has anybody experienced the same problems?
Cheers
Rainer

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

I've got Lightroom 3.3. Every time I try to import photos from my iPAD 2, Lightroom crashes. Fixes?

I can't import photos from my iPAD 2 into Lightroom. Crashes every time. Does anyone have a way to do this?

Apple iPad 2 requires Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3), or an upgrade to Windows 7:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13282479?messageID=13282479
XP SP3 update is available for free, more information here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pa ck-3-sp3
Make sure you backup ALL your data files and LR catalog files, etc. The only problem I encountered with SP3 update was loss of my ATI graphics card TV tuner. Apparently SP3 loads newer versions of graphics drivers, which may not be compatible with all cards. Unfortunately there is no way to "test" if your desktop/laptop will be affected, and MS does not provide the option to only install certain components (i.e. Apple iPad 2 compatibility update). In my case, reinstallation of the original ATI CD graphics drivers fixed the TV tuner problem.
My best suggestion is to first check the manufacturer's support website for XP SP3 issues relating to your specific model desktop or laptop. The XP SP3 update is required by many new devices and software applications. If you intend to keep your current system and stay on XP, then it makes no sense to put off this major update. Upgrade to Windows 7 is an option, but many older systems have non-compatible hardware and software on them. You can run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check compatibility here:

Cannot import photos from CF card (raw) LR 2.5

After i installed 2.5 update, suddenly LR will not import photos from my CF cards. These raw files can be seen with preview, but when I try to import them Lightroom seem to be converting images to DNG, but after that process message appears saying that LR could`.t import I have tried rebooting the iMac running Leopard O.S., but it made no difference. I also tried deleting the Lightroom preference file, that didn`t help eather.
CF cards are working perfectly with 2,4 version, on MacBook Pro..
Does anybody have a solution?

I thought so too, but images was not to find on my hard drive..
Funny thing is when i tried to import regular JPG files from some other SD card, it worked perfectly.
I always shoot in raw, and i always choose to convert to DNG while importing.
I am suspecting that it might be something wrong with this new raw update!
The exact massage i get after LR has converted to DNG:
"Could not copy a file to the requested location"
under that all of de NEF files are listed

Cannot import photos from SD card into USB card reader after 10.4.10 update

Prior to the 10.4.10 update, I used a USB media card reader to import photos from my Canon camera's SD card and it worked fine. I just tried to do that for the first time since I installed the 10.4.10 update, and now the memory card doesn't show up in iPhoto as a disk from which to import photos.
I'm back to transferring pictures through the cable, which is a bit of a pain and a waste of a new media card reader. Is there a way to restore this ability to use the card reader?
Note: I switched from Windows to Mac in February 2007, and except for having to hunt for media card readers that work with the Mac and a few kernel panics due, I think, to a problem with my Logitech mouse drivers, it's been pretty painless.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10) C2D 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive

This problem is not generic to 10.4.10 -- but it is specific to Intel based Macs. I have the same problem with a Zynet 8-in-1 USB-2.0 card reader. It fails to mount on 10.4.10 Intel based Macs but works fine on 10.4.10 PPC macs (and on 10.3.9 PPC too)
It is very annoying because connecting through my phone is very slow, especially when updating 2GB of MP3s.
The reader, with card inserted, is recognized, but no storage media is seen and of course it does not mount as a disk device like it should:
USB Storage Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Product ID: 0x3260
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Vendor ID: 0x0aec
There are no relevant error messages.
I hope Apple's reading these posts -- this sounds like a major, but all too common, FUBAR in the driver code. A fast fix would be very much appreciated!

I imported photos from nikon d600 to lightroom 5. but i don't see it on bridge cs6. help?

i imported photos from nikon d600 to lightrroom 5. but don't see it on cs6 bridge. how do i know where it was downloaded to?
i see the folder in lghtroom under the hard drive, but can't see it on bridge?

Hi
Then it's not my advice.
There are two very important things about this.
• NEVER - move or alter any folder named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects on DeskTop/Finder - at all !
All changes must take place inside the iMovie Application - else connections break ! and iMovie can't find them.
Move Events and Projects back and hope that they will be found.
• The external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - not for iMovie nor FinalCut.
Yours Bengt W

I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop. But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now. Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore? I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help. I really, really appreciate it.
