Lightroom 1.3 Import not automatic for card reader

Lightroom no longer opens Import window when card is connected, as it did with ver 1.2.
Preferences are set to "show import dialogue when card is detected".
When card is inserted in reader, Lightroom starts, but Import dialogue box does not appear.
I can manually open Import from Lightroom and import images.
When I click on "Adobe Photo Downloader" icon in Tray and select "Launch" it will start Lightroom but not Importer and says "no photos were found to import".

I'm seeing the same thing. I actually now have to open my card reader under "Import Photos from Disk" instead of "Import Photos from Device".

Lightroom 4/5 does not recognize memory cards anymore

I signed up for the Creative Cloud $10 PS/LR deal earlier this week. Previously I had LR 4 (and PSE). I'm a longtime LR user. The first time I used LR5 was today. The problem I describe started happening in LR4 as soon as I downloaded CC, before LR5 was even installed, and is continuing to happen in LR5. I have (and have always had) the option checked for the import dialog box to pop up when a memory card is detected. That is no longer happening as of the CC download. If I click on "import", it does show my memory card; the dialog box just does not automatically pop up. When the memory card is highlighted on the top left of the import dialog box, it states that there are no photos. This happens with all 5 of my memory cards, so I feel confident it is not a memory card issue. If I go further down on the left side of the import dialog box, I can click on the drop down arrow for my memory card and it will bring up the folder that is on the card (where the photos actually are). If I highlight this folder, the photos show up and I am able to import them. At times, Lightroom sees photos on the card that are already imported but does not recognize them as duplicates, but not always. I have searched for answers on this but have not found anything that pertains to my situation. Can anyone tell me how to get my import dialog box to automatically open again when I insert a memory card? Thank you.
ETA: I am using a Mac running OSX 10.8.5.

The virtual keyword is classified as a "future reserved word". In the current AS3 language spec it does nothing, and can safely be removed.
From the help:
"There are also several identifiers that are sometimes referred to as future reserved words. These identifiers are not reserved by ActionScript 3.0, though some of them may be treated as keywords by software that incorporates ActionScript 3.0. You might be able to use many of these identifiers in your code, but Adobe recommends that you do not use them because they may appear as keywords in a subsequent version of the language."

Why does Lightroom 5.2 & my mac crash on import from a memory card reader?

I'm running Lightroom 5.2 on my iMac (OS X v 10.7.5).
When I try to upload raw files from my Compact Flash memory card reader (Lexar USB 3.0) the files begin to download. When it gets part way through download the download stops and I get the spinning wheel of death.
No matter what I try I cannot get Lightroom to shutdown or even the computer to shut down.
My only option is to disconnect the computer from the power.
When I re-start the images are downloaded but I do have to start from where I had left off to complete the download.
Does anyone have any idea's what I should do?
This computer has never run Lightroom before so I do not have a previous version of it on the HD.
Cheers

I have been importing images via card reader with no problem. Now all of a sudden I can see the images on the screen but when I try to import the computer says that it can not read them and quotes numbers of the images. Any idea how to solve?

Please give us the exact error message.
Please state your operating system.
Please state the exact version of Lightroom you are using.
Please give us any other relevant details.
What does this mean: "Now all of a sudden I can see the images on the screen"? Are you looking in Lightroom or your operating system or the camera screen? Where?

Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still, like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about 9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos. copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

IPhoto version 9.4.1 problem with imported photos from camera card reader

My wife imported a lot of photos from a camera card reader. The imports show up fine when she launches iPhoto, but when you double click on one, nothing happens. It doesn't go to full size. It just doesn't respond for any of the pictures imported. The rest of her pictures behave normally....when clicked on they enlarge just not the ones recently imported. I did a repair disk permissions and no luck there. What can we do to these pictures to make them behave normally when selected and double clicked?

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

I have a HP Media Center m7050y (PX153AV) CTO Desktop PC that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I'm trying to get my card readers driver. Is there one specifically for Windows 7, or is there one that worked with previous Windows editions that I should use?

PMurnane, welcome to the forum.
Since there are no Product Specifications for the computer, I don't know the brand of the card reader. Here is a driver for the Realtek card reader. If it doesn't work, let me know the brand of it.

Not recognising USB card reader and also PhotoBooth issue

Hi,
I'm a new member and a bit of a numpty when it comes to Mac (new owner).
My Macbook Pro is giving me some grief tonight and I have 2 separate (i think) issues.
It will not recognise my USB card reader. It worked fine last week and I did eject it properly before removing it. I've tried the card reader on a PC and it is working fine....
Also when I go to open Photo Booth it tells me that my camera is not connected or in use by another program. But as you know the camera is built in!?!?!
I'd be very grateful for any thoughts on how I might fix the problems. The nearest Mac store is 2 hours away....
Many thanks in advance

Sony card reader / Sony X-tra power memory / extra adaptor for card reader

I've been researching for hours and have several questions, but the one I want to know about the most is: *what exactly does a card reader do?* I ask because I always thought that a card reader was meant to help transfer the raw files from the camcorder to inside the computer.
That's why I am confused by what this person wrote in a Review at Amazon of a product he bought:
*“I think a memory stick is a memory stick. But the USB Reader makes this worth the price. I can take my pics anywhere without having to take my camera and cords. Just plug the reader into any USB port and view pictures instantly.*
Lorna says:
I am inferring that he is saying that he wants to immediately see the video that he took as opposed to getting all the clips onto his computer not necessarily to look at right now. So: What is the purpose of a Card Reader?
And I have also been studying up on Memory Sticks (Proprietary with Sony). After reading a bunch of definitions, I conclude that the more letters you have after ”Memory Stick“, the better/faster the card is.
# Memory Stick™ General/Specifications
* Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ "HX"
* Memory Stick PRO-HG™
* Memory Stick PRO™
* Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™)
* Memory Stick™ (with MagicGate™)
* Memory Stick Duo™
Therefore, since the user manual for the TG5V that I downloaded from the Sony site mentions MEMORY STICK PRO DUO and MEMORY STICK PRO HG DUO, _I am going to buy the second one because it has an extra blazing fast turns-everything-to-gold capacity._ I will also pay dearly for it.
Please tell me whether or not I will need to get an adaptor for the reader if I am getting a Memory Stick with four extra pins in it.
I am sorry to be coming here so often, but reading these reviews and instructional pages often makes it necessary to ask yet more questions. They answer one question and raise enough dust to require two more clarifying questions.

AppleMan, actually I know what a memory stick is, although I did not know the depth to which you explained it (about the magnetic platters and sensors). I know that a memory card/stick is removable memory and that a card reader is something into which you stick the Sony memory card.
When I spoke of the upload being faster on a card reader, I meant/thought *that simply by virtue of going through a card reader, the upload would be faster* — faster than merely plugging a USB cable between the camcorder and the computer. In my mind. I was not assuming that there are different grades/speeds of card readers. I noticed that they are all fairly inexpensive, which means, no classifications of speed.
What I was and am concerned about is the actual Sony memory card/stick that can carry 4, 6, 8, 16, 32, gigabytes of memory. From what I read last night at some sites (and posted here) was that Sony has a bunch of crazy making names to confuse the buyer. +Memory stick, Memory stick duo, Memory Stick Duo Pro, Memory Stick Duo Pro HG, Memory Stick HS Duo Pro HG etc.+
I was early on confused with this array of choices, but I later realized last night that each little acronym signifies an extra capability.
I will look for a card reader and am going to assume that all card readers are universal for all card sizes and camcorders. Am I right or wrong in that?

SDHC cards not recognized, xD cards read perfectly

I have a problem with the card reader in my HP x18 1080ED notebook.
When I put a 2GB xD memory card in the slot the card is recognized and shows up in My Computer and I can view the contents.
But when I put in a SDHC card, 256MB or 8GB of 16GB, the light besides the reader lights up 8 times and then nothing happens. The card is not showing up in My Computer.
I updated the driver, reinstalled it but no effect. I also check the cards in another computer also HP and the cards work on that computer. What is the problem can anyone help me!
Thanks, hope you can help.

your computer is a dv8-1080ed Correct?
If so it may not support the SDHC type card. I would got to the HP website and search Product information and Troubleshooting tab, in the Manuals section there should be a entry called External Media where it will list the type of cards your system supports. For the dv8-1080ed It doesn't appear that the SDHC cards are supported.

IPod touch does not accept Sd card reader what do I do?

I bought a card reader for my iPod touch 5 gen. But when I try using it my iPod says this accessory is not supported by iPod touch

The card ready (really the iPad comer connection kit) ony works for the iPad mini and iPad 4 and then only for photos and videos.
How about one of these

How do I View/edit go pro videos imported via iPad sd card reader on iPad 1st gen?

I have a 1st generation iPad and am looking for the best/ any way to import go pro videos using a sd card reader for iPad and viewing them and editing them. I am struggling to find any apps that are compatable... And then there is the issue of the mp4 compatability. I am going on a trip and won't have my Mac so I'd like to do it all on the iPad if possible any suggestions or solutions would be great!

The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

Camera connective kit does not work with card reader

Can I only use my USB camer connective kit with my camera and not a card reader?

Which card reader? Are you using an SD card in it or some other form factor?
As long as you're targeting an SD card with photos or movies, it should work same as connecting to a camera....but in that case, there is really no need since the camera kit includes an SD reader.
