Importing photos in Lightroom 3. Not working.

I just tried to import photos into Lightroom 3 and it said it can't give me a preview. And if I still import, there is nothing there. I've imported before from the same camera. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a nikon D3100 and I'm working on Windows 7. thanks

Thanks, That was it. Not obvious and kind of annoying. I created a collection with the images and am able to sort there.
Thanks!

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl

thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4.

I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4. No problems with Lightroom 3.3, seems to be due to the 3.4 update.
Connected Nikon D80 directly to laptop (MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5). Upon import (RAW) get error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Previews show up OK. I'm importing to an Iomega external HD with 321 GB available, and "Make a Second Copy To" a Maxtor external HD with 300 GB available.
Also tried using a SanDisk card reader (ImageMate SDDR-99 V3) with same results.
I've tried 3 different SD cards: Kingston 2GB, PNY 4GB, and Lexar 2GB, all with same results.
I've tried importing JPG photos from Nikon Coolpix S6000, with same results.
I've even copied JPG files to laptop HD, and tried importing that way. Get same error message.
I've optimized the catalog, and still won't work. (Catalog contains 14,422 images.)
JPGs import fine into iPhoto on another computer (Mac G4).
Also tried different USB ports on laptop, with same results.
Any suggestions...

Problem resolved...Ran disk repair on Iomega HD. Disk Utility found and repaired problems. Uploads to Lightroom now function as normal.

Importing photos with Lightroom (5.3) edits into Photoshop CS5

I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 from version 5.2. I now cannot import photos with Lightroom edits into Photosop CS5. This was not a problem in the previous version. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I import photos into lightroom and they appear just fine and then after 'developing' some disappear from the library though they still exist in the previous import window

Importing photos in lightroom

Dear All,
I would like to presente myself , my name is Pascal Poitevin and my hobby is photography and particularly astro photography. I am writing because I have an issue to import photos to lightroom.
I have just install try lightroom 3.3 64bits.
My questions is when I want to import the photos jpeg format from the internal drive, I can see them but when there are imported or zoomed I see a black grey screen. Is it due to the format of the photos or to the setting?
How I can solve this issue?
Sincerely yours
Pascal Poitevin

Dear Pascal,
could you have a look here and did you follow these rules?

Resize photos option in Preview not working

I use Preview to resize my photos depending on where I'm posting or sending to. Since I've downloaded Yosemite I will resize photo and it's not working. I have my photos in iCloud drive & am working between an iMac and a iMac Pro. I'm trying to resize to send out to have printed vs. at home printing. This problem has only happened since upgrading to Yosemite. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Resizing works fine here.
Best practice is:
Open image in Preview
Tools > Adjust size; enter the new values and click OK
Press the option button then File Save As give it a new name and save to desktop

On my Ipad 2, I deleted my photos from camera roll, photo stream and imported photos. I did not know that my photos were also being deleted from my albums. Is there anyway I can retrieve these photos from back up or from Icloud ? Pierre

If you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup you can restore to that.

Trying to import photos into Lightroom 5 isn't working

I am trying to import photos into my lightroom 5 catalog and it isn't working. Done this MANY times before and this time nothing. Tried importing directly from memory card and copying the files to the hard drive both just start the process and it never moves. Even tried putting the files in the folder I was going to use and then selected to Sync the folder. Lightroom recognized the 203 times in that folder... but nothing. Just sits there.
Using Lightroom on the Mac, importing JPG and a few AVI files. Tried single JPG (that I could open in preview) but nothing...
Any help would be appreciated!

Seems like this is related to specific files. If I make a new folder with only certain files it works. But seeming like it is more then a handful. Really painful, because once it has the issue you need to close lightroom, then lightroom needs to be forced to quit... it doesn't close cleanly.....
All the images that cause the problem seem fine in any other viewer....

Photo bundle serial will not work in lightroom 5.4.

I just bought a photo bundle membership but the serial number will not work in lightroom 5.4.
I hade a tril version of LR5.4 which has now run out so I purchased the PhotoShop LightRoom bundle but the serial number will not activate LightRoom.
I get a big red x
Can any body help[ plaease.
Regards
Rik

You have to install Lightroom 5.4 through the CC Application Manager. Before you can do this proceed as follows.
Uninstall the LR 5.4 trial (Mac drag the application from your Application sub folder) win use the Control Panel feature to uninstall. Your user presets, catalog etc will remain in place.Reboot your system then open the CC Application Manager and the LR download should be available for download. You will not have to actually input the serial number.
Both applications are the same just the licensing procedure is different in the Creative Cloud.

I can no longer import photos into lightroom from card reader or camera.

Just recently my Lightroom 5.3, now 5.6, has stopped allowing me to import photos from my card reader or directly from my camera. When I click the Import button, it lists the card but will not show the previews and the Import button does not become active. What is wrong?
All other modules seem to work fine.

I have the same problem. My program has worked perfectly until a few days ago.
Now the module import has the central screent in blank, empty, and not import anything.
I am also looking for a solution

Error while importing photos to Lightroom 4

Hi, Lightroom 4 has somehow stopped importing photos from the card, which used to work perfectly before. It fails with error code 832. Has anyone seen this before? Error: "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (832) "

Import jpg in PRE13 is not working

I just downloaded Premiere Elements 13 to create a slideshow. Whenever I try to import my jpg files, I get an error message.
I resized all files to 4096x2731 pixels with PS Elements 9 but it is still not working. Does anybody know how I could fix this problem?
Thank you for your support!

Lena
1. First thing, I need to make sure we are in sync on...where are you trying to create this slideshow?
I have been assuming in the Elements Organizer 13/Create/Slideshow workspace. Is that correct?
2. If so, open Premiere Elements 13 Editor to its Expert workspace, and import these problematic jpgs into a new Premiere Elements Editor project, using Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. Do you get that far without any errors?
3. Can you open jpg stills with no raw image origin in Premiere Elements 13 Editor or Elements Organizer 13/Create/Slideshow?
Thinking ahead to another mini test..
For troubleshooting purposes only at this time, can we take Lightroom out of the equation?
Will your original raw image import into the Camera Raw version that you have in Photoshop Elements 9? If so, import the raw image there, edit in the Camera Raw dialog, from Photoshop Elements save as jpg and resize jpg. Does that jpg from Photoshop Elements now import without issue into Premiere Elements 13 Editor and or Elements Organizer 13.
We will be watching for further developments.
