Lightroom 2.2 freezes up when importing phtotos from my g10

I got a g10 a few weeks ago and have been anxiously awaiting the 2.2 upgrade.
installed the upgrade to LR 2.2 last night, seems to go fine, When i put my card from g10 in my computer and push import, LR room freezes up to the point of being unreponsive?
what would cause this?
what can i do to fix it? I have ps cs3, would that be the problem?
THanks,

It's a .dat file. "Roaming" is the AppData subfolder on Vista that has among other files my Lightroom Prefs, Bibble cache and a CameraRaw/CameraProfiles folder with the .dat file.
This may be a WAG, but I wonder if deleting the contents of both of these files may be necessary for a re-install to fix the problem.

Lightroom 5.7.1 64bit constantly freezes up when importing, requiring a reboot.

Hey folks
Running Windows 8.1 As of a week ago, Lightroom 5.7.1 64bit constantly freezes up when importing, and it take a reboot for it to successfully import again. Nothing about my operating system or environment has changed (no new devices plugged in).
This is a total pain.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom, but that hasn't helped.
Can anyone assist? Thanks.

Hi Panda,
I basically left it - and left it - and left it. Eventually it recovered, and started importing photos. So my experience was that it will work eventually - it just takes ages, and looks like it's hanging at first.
I think I left it for three days in total. After the spinning beach ball appearing for many hours, it did start slowly importing.
Good luck!

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?

Q: Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?
FAQ revised 25 April 2009
Ans: Prior to version 1.3 Lightroom did not support 1:1 preview rendering during import, the actual options for Initial Previews being: Embedded or Standard. However, more recent versions allow four types of previews to be rendered during import (i.e. Minimal, Embedded & Sidecar, Standard,and 1:1). It's also worth noting the following on Lightroom import behaviour:
1. Minimal (Lightroom default) or Embedded & Sidecar is by far the quickest method for getting your photos into the Lightroom catalog. However, the lack of Standard, which is the minimum that Lightroom can actually work with, means that the application will render standard-sized on demand (i.e. as thumbs/photos become visible within the photo Content area). Asking Lightroom to undertake this task at the same time as you're trying to use the application will result in sub optimal performance.
2. Importing your photos with the Standard preview selected within the Import dialog will take longer than 1 above, but on completion Lightroom will already have previews that match the minimum requirement for working in the Library. Assuming that you won't be looking at every image at 100% (i.e 1:1) then this preview size will allow you to quickly review, rate, label, even make quick colour/tone adjustments, etc the photos within the Library module. If you need to see a photo at 100% then Lightroom will render that preview on demand (while it's being rendered you'll see the "Rendering Preview" overlay appear at bottom of preview). Note that when using a 23" or larger monitor it to is best to set the Standard sized previews so that they are rendered at 2048 pixels
3. Importing your photos with the 1:1 preview size selected will result in Lightroom taking even longer to complete the import process than would have been the case if standard-sized had been chosen. 1:1 previews also take up significantly more disk space than standard-sized.
If you're not going to be working on the photos immediately after import but do need to get them into Lightroom as quickly as possible, then the best option would be to choose import option 1. Once the photos have been imported choose either Render Standard-sized Previews or Render 1:1 previews from Library module Library>Previews menu.

When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine. It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine. I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash. The file also opens just fine on Windows.
Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

When importing tracks from a CD to iTunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported or shown on the list. How can I import the missing three?

When importing tracks from a CD to ITunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported. How can I display and import the missing three? Thanks.

It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
Anyone?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed?

when importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed? I am using PC with windows 7.
Thanks.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Lightroom 4.4 can no longer import photos from my iPod Touch 5

I've been importing photos from my iPod via USB without problems for over 6 months. In the last few days, importing from this device slowed down significantly. As of yesterday, the program freezes completely when I try to import (although it had worked earlier - albeit slowly - during that same session.)
I've tried:
Restarting the program, computer, and iPod.
Closing all other programs.
Removing all other external devices from the computer.
Uninstalling the computer's USB hubs and restarting.
Deleting all videos from the iPod's camera roll.
Reducing the size of the camera roll (down to 650 from about 800).
Nothing has worked.
I'm still able to import fine from other sources (an external hard drive & a memory card).
Weirdly, I plugged in my husband's iPod Touch - which until then had never been used in Lightroom - and it also froze at import, so it seems to be a problem with the type of device rather than the device itself.
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit with 3.3 GHz Intel processor and 6 GB RAM.

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.

Lightroom 1.1 + Vista = No RAW import direct from canon 400D

My laptop runs on XP and my desktop on Vista and I have a 400D, lightroom 1.1, PS CS2 and camera raw 4.1. I've just migrated my workflow into lightroom which i'm enjoying.
Both computers read and edit RAW files fine and i've exported and imported catlogs between them.
My laptop imports RAW files from my camera but my desktop (vista) says that there are no files to import. Either i've done something wrong in setting up lightroom or there appears to be some kind of driver problem.
I can see them in windows, copy them off my camera in windows and then import them in lightroom from my computer, but not directly from my camera

The same problem:

LR 5.2 hangs when importing pictures from the SD reader (Macbook)

Hi, I'm experiencing problems when importing pictures in Lightroom. The context is
- Lightroom 5.2
- Nikon D600 (always RAW files)
- SDHC SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB (UHS-I, 95MB/s)
- Macbook pro 15" early 2011 (high def matte screen) running Mac OS 10.7
I have a recurrent problem when importing pictures in Lightroom using the built-in SD reader. LR starts the process ok but a few seconds later it seems to stop. If I click on a picture I get "preview not available". Even when (after a long long time) the importing finishes, the pictures are corrupted and I have to start it again.
The only solution I've found so far: try once and again (ejecting the card doesn't work, so I get several messages: 'disk not unmounted cleanly' or something similar) until it works smoothly. Usually 3 or 4 re-tries are needed. It goes worse with the number of pictures: the more pictures I have in my SD card, the more likely it will hang repeatedly. Very disappointing...
Any help would be welcome. Thanks!
Cheers, German

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. Be sure to not delete the photos after importing into the library.
If you are able to import into the new library try repairing your current library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Numbers crashes when importing .xls from Mail app

iPad w/iOS 4.2
Installed Numbers to view .xls files emailed to me
Numbers crashes while trying to import .xls from Mail attachment and Mail freezes when trying to view same .xls natively.
Here are the two processes I've tried:
Process 1:
1. Open Mail
2. Press attachment icon until 'Quick Look' and 'Open in Numbers' appears
3. Select 'Open in Numbers'
4. Numbers opens and the large .XLS icon displays while 'importing spreadsheet' process bar moves to about 50%
5. App crashes and returns to springboard
Process 2:
1. Open Mail
2. Press attachment icon until 'Quick Look' and 'Open in Numbers' appears
3. Select 'Quick Look'
4. Native view app tries to open and quickly changes to large attachment icon with no 'Back' button or any way to return to Mail
5. Push Home - returns to springboard
6. Select Mail - still shows large attachment icon with no 'Back' button
7. Reboot iPad to clear Mail freeze in order to view Mail again
Anyone have any idea what is wrong with Numbers or the native .xls viewer?
Note, the .xls is version Excel 97-2003.
thx

No pics in this .xls - just tabs with data. I bought Numbers specifically to view only and it crashes after soft reboot, hard reboot, delete/re-install of app, etc.
I'm also seeing several of these same issues on this topic w/o answers. Has anyone called or seen Apple in person to help? One 'solution' was to delete app from iPad/iTunes and reinstall with older backup version. In my case I don't have a backup as it's a new iPad...
Extremely frustrating.

Error message when importing photos from iPhoto

I have been trying to import pictures from iPhoto and when I try to set the duration to about 7 seconds with 240 photos, it says
ERROR DURING IMPORT
The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import Macintosh HD/Users/........../Pictures/iPhoto Library/2005/07/11/030_30.JPG
Is there anyway I can import all of these files with a duration of around 7 seconds?

Hi Seth:
Welcome to the forum!
You might want to run a disk and permissions repair to find that extra space.

Error occured when importing data from dmp

Hello friends
when i am importing data from dmp file
the following error occured
Please help me to solve this
Error message :
Export file created by EXPORT:V09.02.00 via conventional path
import done in WE8PC850 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
export client uses US7ASCII character set (possible charset conversion)
Import terminated successfully without warnings.

This is not really an error message but a information about possible character conversion from US7ASCII to WE8PC850 which should NOT be an issue since all US7ASCII characters are in most WExxx character sets.
