Issues importing photos.

I'm am trying to import 593 photos directly from my 5D Mark III into Lightroom 4.4 using a USB cable. I received the following error message: "Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read (128)." Please note, I had previously tried importing the photos prior to the Lightroom 4.4 update. I also did the update to 4.4, restarted the computer and attempted the import again (received same error message). The error message didn't indicate what was causing the problem so I attempted to import the photos to iPhoto and received the message "The following files were not imported as the file type .CR2 cannot be read." All of my software is up to date, computer has been restarted numerous times and I always shoot in RAW. If 465 of the 593 photos were able to be imported to both photo programs, from the same CF memory card, and the file type/format did not change between photo shoots, why would 128 be unreadable? Any suggestions? Thank you.

I don't have any suggestions... but you are not alone in terms of import issues. There are several other threads on here because the 4.4 update did something to mess up the import process. My problem surrounded problems importing from mixed media cards, CR2s and MOVs. So far, knock on wood, I have not had problems with cards that just have CR2s! I wish you well and hope Adobe fixes these import issues. It should be noted AGAIN... that even if LR is rolled back to 4.3, the issues remain after a 4.4 install.

Issues importing photos into lightroom 5.6

Hello All, I would very much appreciate any assistance in figuring out my issue of not being able to import new photos after having used LR for years with almost 6000 photos in my LR catalogue. It looks like the images are coming in and then it gives me a number of the images (all of them) that are not able to import. I tried using a new, empty catalogue as well as importing my old photos into a new catalogue, and in both cases had the same problem. I am shooting with a Fuji XT1 both RAW and JPG and none of the images come in, yet they had been importing with no issue up until recently. I tried uploading the photos from a card reader, then I copied the images onto my desktop, tried that, and then I put the disc directly into the slot on my Macbook Pro, and it hasn't worked from any of those sources. The only thing that is different is that I recently purchased a new Apple thunderbolt monitor, but I disconnected that and tried to upload directly onto my Macbook Pro and it still wouldn't import the new photos. Could you kindly offer me any suggestions of what I might be able to do to remedy this situation? Thanks!

When I try to import my images, both RAW and jpeg from my Fujixt1, both from the card reader and directly from the slot on my computer, I initially see them as thubnails in Lightroom and it appeast like they are being imported, but after the import bar is finished, no lonager seeing any of the photos. then an error message comes up it also says: "could not copy files to the requested location" I have not had this problem when I had an earlier version of Lightroom. Any specific help in getting these files into Lightroom would be must appreciated. Is there an update that will help make this issue go away. It used to be so easy to just upload directly. Thanks!

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue?

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue? Tried jpg and png and .........

I had that same problem with my laptop. Went to apple and they could not fix it. Had another issue and they told me to copy my iphoto library to the desktop. When I did that the white pictures were then visible on the desktop library. They said I had too much stuff on my computer. When I upgraded to I life 06 most of the pictures came back.

When I connect my IPAd 2 to my desktop pc via usb cable desktop opens import photo screen. I am trying to copy/move downloaded files from my PC to Ipad 2. How do I correct this issue? Tx.

When I connect my Ipad 2 to my desktop (via USB) import photos screen open on desktop. I am trying to coppy/move files from desktop to Ipad 2. Import photos come up with import error and I cannot do anything else. How do you correct this issue? Tx. New user.

Actually, you can get photos onto an ipad from a PC. Connect them via USB (or wireless sync if you have that set up), go to the photos tab in iTunes, I don't have iTunes in front of me but there will be an option to sync photos from a folder on the PC to the iPad. You can choose an existing folder or make a new folder specifically for this purpose. Put the photos in said folder and then sync.
The photos from that folder will be transferred to your iPad

Import photos / Synchronise folder issues 3.5 RC

Having spent a couple of weeks restructuring my image schema I tried to update LR 3.5 RC to the new directory structure. This involved lots of UPDATE FOLDER LOCATION, IMPORT PHOTOS and SYNCHRONISE FOLDERS across about 1500 folders and about 500,000 image files both NEF and JPG .
There are several problems I've come across. The main one is the number of files listed by LR as contained in the folder do not match the directory contents. Scynchronise folder doesn't remedy the problem although the numbers found in the first part of the process, counting files seems to correctly identify the numbers involved.
I have a directory which the OS reports as containing 353 files (all JPG) LR reports 290. Synchronise folders dialog counts 71 in the import new photos dialog box.
Clicking SYNCHRONISE brings up the import screen. With the "Don't import suspected duplicates" ticked, the lower left corner of the screen tells me; 68 photos selected, ignoring 8 suspected duplicates (there are no duplicates!) 277 previously imported files. None of those numbers seem to line up...
Clicking import puts 5 images on screen as being imported and when control is returned 3mins 45 seconds later, LR notes the directory containing 295 images. (still not the expected 353)
I then remove the folder from LR and add the same folder from the File menu using IMPORT PHOTOS. Now I'm shown (bottom left corner again, 345 files. (check all, don't import suspected duplicates.) 2mins 30sec later and LR reports 345 files. Syncronise folder counts 8 files but the import screen is now blank. This doesn't happen every time but on 9 folders that I counted, it happened 5 times.
On another folder, where LR reports only 1 file (OS correctly shows 64 files) 63 files are incorrectly identified as being duplicates!
Where a folder has been moved and LR shows the folder name with a question mark; "find missing folder" (which BTW defaults to the catalog location...so to just point the lost folder up a level to the parent folder, 5 clicks and some mouse scrolling are required every time! A pain when you have to do it 1500 times!)
but back to the problem, having found the right place to point it, merge is an option where the folder name is already found. again on an intermittent basis, the error wording was something like (attempting to close with 1 process still active(?) You can click past the error and all seems to work ok, but I wonder if it is connected to the error above?
Is anyone else finding this issue or have any suggestions how to work around it?
Any suggestions gratefully received!! :-)
OS is XP, 4 gig memory, quad core with twin 1 gig graphics and twin screens.

further to the previous...
Just tried the REMOVE and IMPORT PHOTOS trick on a directory that had incorrect numbers in it and noticed that of the 295 files that the OS sees, LR insists that only 268 exist and 26 are duplicates!
26 duplicates in a directory that LR knows nothing of?????? Unchecking Don't import suspected duplicates brings the total to 295.
Hmm, bugs in the IMPORT PHOTOS and / or DUPLICATE finder sections with 3.5! Doesn't do the same thing with 3.3, (checking 3.4)

I have been using iPhoto on my MAC notebook to import photos from my camera. It no longer works and says that the Image Capture on my computer is the issue. Any ideas?

Anyone having issues using autoplay to import photos from an iPhone 4S?

I haven't been able to import photos for days using autoplay. Every time I connect my phone autoplay recognizes it but won't let me select an option. It's non-responsive. Anyone else? Any solutions?

It seems pretty easy, so maybe I am not understanding your question properly. I just plug my iPhone into my computer with LR open, click on import, select the iPhone, make sure it says "Move" at the top, select the folder I want them to go to (I have a folder named iPhone photos) and click on the second import button. I do the same with my iPad.
Are you having problems when you try to import from your iPhone?

Issue with photos in iMovie - looks normal in timeline but won't play

I'm having an issue with importing photos into iMovie. I've done it many a time without trouble but suddenly, when I really need it...ahh!
The problem is with a video I've already exported once—I'm not sure if that's related. I created a slide in Powerpoint, made it into a jpg, then dragged it into my timeline (also something I've done before without issue). It looks totally normal in the timeline, but when I play the video it shows a still from the previous clip instead of my photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Gah. This is where I'm at...I'm using the code from above and
my mp3 sound file is ID'd in the linkage properties as monkey7.mp3
and it's still not working.
What buttons should be checked in the Linkage properties? If
my id is monkey7.mp3 and I check the Export for ActionScript
button, my sound file plays multiple times and it still won't stop.
If I do the same thing but ID it as "monkey7.mp3", it plays
correctly but won't stop.
I don't know if this matters but my mc where my sound file is
located is one frame. Is that correct?
I'm sure the code is correct but I'm missing something and I
can't figure it out!

Is there a way to use iPhoto and *not* have it import photos?

Hi there,
I'm transitioning from a PC to a Mac and everything is going fairly well -- overall a better user experience. One question I have is, is there a way to use iPhoto without having it import photos? My main issue is that currently iPhoto imports all the photos that I want to view/edit in iPhoto and copies them to it's own folder structure. I like to manage my pictures in a folder structure that I define, so I already back up my photos to another location and now I'm finding that iPhoto is just duplicating the pictures that I already have where I want them, sucking up precious space on my SSD.
So is there a way for me to just point iPhoto to a folder, make my edits on those photos, and have iPhoto automatically save those changes to the original folder I pointed it to, instead of duplicating the photos in it's own folder structure?
It occasional things like this that makes me miss some Windows features. In this case, I miss Windows Photo Gallery.

Hm, ok so if I edit my photos (adjust brightness etc) in iPhoto and then export it, does it export with the brightness changed, or does it just export the original?
It exports whichever you choose - the edited version or the original.
However, am I the only one with trust issues with importing all my photos into iPhoto? I'm scared the library will get corrupted, etc.
NO you're not the only one. The protection against any data corruption is a good back up, and you need that for any data on any computer running any OS. But in the case of iPhoto, remember too that the original files are stored exactly as they are imported, in folders, in the filing system.
that when I go to export the photos, there's a LOT of duplicate file names that the export chokes on, which makes it very tedious, no, painful, for me to export a large number of photos.
Explore the options under File Name when you export from iPhoto using the File -> Export command

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?
Software: 4.3.2
Build Version: 8H7
Thanks If anyone can help me.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Lightroom 5 is quite slow in importing photos

Lightroom 5 is quite slow in importing photos from a memory card connected to a reader using USB 3.0! After installing LR5, I didn't change any default settings. Interestingly, this wasn't found in beta testing. LR4 was what I call quick or snappy. Because of LR5's slow performance, I went back to LR4 after paying for the Cloud subscription.
With substantial difficulty and after some time passed, I eventually was able to speak to Support which offered no fix for this issue. I hope that it can be resolved soon.

Selecting the Import from below in Files does help speed up the start of the Import as mentioned in the thread you referred to but is still maybe three or so times slower than in LR4. At least it makes using LR5 more bearable.
Thanks.

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Image Capture sends error message when importing photos from my camera

I tried to import photos from my Fuji FinePix JX600 using Iphoto. Received an error notice and was unable to import. Tried Image Capture and it imported 220 of 407 pictures and then sent an error notice. Very frustrated. It's a new camera and I never had any problem with my old camera. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Good afternoon
There seem to be a number of possibilities.
Here is a thread that conatins a number of solutions. The most common one is to load 50 pics at a time.

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
