Lightroom 2.2 not importing changes or collections...

I have a new desktop with Lightroom 2.2 installed. I have Lightroom 2.2 on my laptop. I am copying catalogs and files from my old laptop to a flash drive and loading them onto my new desktop. The catalogs are showing up with all the images but my collections and modifications to my images are not appearing.
I am careful to always keep my catalogs and images under the same master file so I can find them and move them easily. (I am a wedding photographer and I create a new catalog for each wedding.)
Is this an issue with 2.2 or am I missing something?
Thanks

Well Nate, if you bought the version 2 upgrade once there's certainly no need to buy it over again. Presumeably you've still got the licence number for it? If so this will also be good for ALL version 2 releases including the latest 2.3RC.
I'd be tempted to do a search of the computer deleting every reference you come across to Lightroom (after backing up the catalogue of course) and then downloading and installing the latest version (2.3RC). By the way, subsequent to version 1 the catalogue has had a change of name - it's now known as an lrcat file which Lightroom will need to convert to this new format.

Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months. If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months. If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
The other concern is whether your OS is new enough. I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying. Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then. This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD

Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD card on my IMac . My Camera is a Canon 650D it will open them on my pc copy. My Lightroom 4 on my IMac will also import from an sd card. Help please.

Why not? What happens? If there is an error message, please quote it in its entirety, word-for-word, verbatim.

Lightroom 3 will not import any images

[I replied to another thread, but it doesn't seem to be coming up at the top of the post list when I update my information, so I'm reposting in the hopes that someone will notice and offer some helpful advice, as this is rapidly becoming infuriating.]
I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)". They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter and Lightroom 2. I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either). I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then. The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
Update: I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error. I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
Update #2: I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images. Lightroom 2 continues to import just fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?

OK, I _think_ I have the cause & cure.
Cause:
Canon says the software [firmware?] bundled with the Canon Rebel XT "is not fully compatible with the latest version of OSX." I can continue to automatically bring up iPhoto or use ImageCapture, in any case. Thanks, but I want LR3. Canon recommended that I set the controls in ImageCapture to specify opening LR3 when a camera is detected. I did, but it was doing this before, so I saw no difference. Also, I'm not sure it was doing it reliably, before or after this change.
This software incompatibility might explain why the Canon Rebel XT was not loading into LR3, but would not explain why it was not recognized by the Finder to add to the Devices list. The Canon wouldn't get added to the Devices list in OSX 10.4.11, either.
ImageCapture could easily see the images on the camera, and could copy them to a HD without difficulty. But it's not LR3, and nothing convinced the Finder to add the camera to the Devices.
Cure:
What I did find, eventually, as a method for persuading LR3 to import properly is this:
I set ImageCapture to open itself when it recognizes a camera.
I jack in the camera, and ImageCapture opens.
THEN I open LR3. It comes up with the present images in the library.
I _click_ on the Import button (lower left), OR use the keyboard command (cmd-shift-I). It opens the import display, _with_ the images from the camera.
I set the LR3 import settings as I want them - I Copy the files, change file names, presets, etc. as desired. (I make a habit not to erase the camera files, until all is said and done, and the camera is disconnected from the computer.)
I click the Import button, and it does!
SUCCESS!
If I have it open ImageCapture first, that seems to persuade LR3 that images are on the camera.
Sometimes iPhoto accomplishes the same end, but I'd rather not launch that - subsidiary issues.
I went through this sequence a number of times, starting from neither software open. I tried different sequences - LR3 then ImageCapture, camera first or last, etc. The above sequence worked reliably; the others' responses confused me.
Those of you with similar Canon uploading problems, see if this helps any. If you don't have ImageCapture, try it with iPhoto instead. Just open it first.
sandrift71, does this answer your original question & resolve the problem for you?

Mac Lightroom 4 Videos not importing

I'm running Lightroom 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.4.
I just installed Lightroom. Lightroom will not import any of my video files. After import fails to import them into the lightroom library it tells me "there is a problem with the video file" and it lists all of my videos.
90% of my videos were shot on various iPhones.
I have read the troubleshooting video (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4. html#main-pars_heading_3) and did not find it helpful.
Google searches are not panning out either.
Any help would be appreciated.
TYIA

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't help. Must be something to do with my OS or the way it's configured (maybe some installed codecs?) as it works on my desktop but not laptop. But then I have a whole bunch of other stuff on my desktop that may have changed the basic configuration. One thing I notice is that there is no preview possible in the import window on LR with my mov files - from memory (not at home ATM) the preview was there on my desktop. So that maybe points to a codec issue?

Lightroom 4 would not import images from my camera

I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked.
Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard.
Any ideas on how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?

Perhaps there is a problem with the camera card. But I still believe there is a hardware problem somewhere.
I can think of hardware problems that can cause this to happen, but I cannot think of any software reasons why LR won't read a JPG, except when it is on a hardd isk.

Lightroom Trial Version Not Importing TIFFs

This morning I installed the 30 day trial version of Lightroom. If I import a folder of mixed RAW and TIFF files, I see ONLY the raw files in Lightroom. If I go back into the import dialog and select the TIFF again and try to import, a message is displayed that the CR2 file has already been imported into the library. If I drag a TIFF into the library, the RAW file comes in instead.
However, if I export a RAW file from Lightroom as a TIFF and then try to re-import it, the import is successful and I can see it. I do not recall this occurring in the LR beta. Any suggestions?
I'm running Windows XP Pro with all service packs installed. AMD 3800 dual core PC with 2 gb RAM. The images are from a Canon 5D, and were cropped, edited, and saved as LWZ compressed TIFFs using ACR in the CS3 beta. The TIFFs open fine in CS2 or CS3. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Yes, they are the same name.
My workflow is to import the RAW files to Bridge, rename the RAW files(for example "wdn_070219_0001", etc.), add metadata and ratings. Then, as I make TIFFs, I leave them in the same folder until I'm ready to store the whole project into DNGs, TIFF edits of the original files, etc. I'm likely able to import the older TIFF's because I've converted the RAW files to DNGs and archived those off to a separate folder. What you are saying is, as I save off edits or conversions to TIF, create a separate folder right off the bat.
If that is the behavior, its too bad that it is different from Bridge in that respect. You'd think that if Bridge can differentiate the saide car files from the RAW image, LR would too.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll work with the product with that in mind, for the time being at least.

Lightroom 4.4 not importing video, Mac OS X. Canon 5d Mk2

Hi,
I Just bought LR on the weekend and upgraded to 4.4 as per request during the install process. The only problem I seem to have is it not importing any video files. I am running it on a Macbook Pro 2010 with OS X Mountail Lion - latest updates, etc and I have a Canon 5d MkII with .MOV files. This is quite a basic system/setup and from what Lightroom claims to do it should handle this no problem. I have tried importing from a memory card, the camera itself, and other hard drives. There are no permissions issues.
Any help would be great, thanks.
I have searched th forums and it seems a few people are having problems but there does not seem to be a solution yet, besides some 3rd party plugin issue. Is this just a problem with the 4.4 update? So basically a bug issue on Adobe's part?
Thanks.
- Mal

Hi Cheers,
It seems to hang for a while and I get the error message:
"There is a problem with this video file(1)"
However there is no problem, it play fine with pretty much everthing and is a standard 5d Mkii video file.
Thanks,
- Malik

GP-E2 and lightroom 4.1 not importing location.

I have being taking quite a few photos using a 5D MKIII with a GP-E2 attached, CR2 files have the GPS data as I can see it on the camera when viewing the photos, but when import them in Lightroom, I do not see this photos to have the geotag information. Can't find much information about it.....

My GP-E2 was delivered by FedEx about an hour ago. This is exactly what I did:
I took the GP-E2 outside where it had a clear view of the sky, turned it on and waited until it got a stable fix, turned it off and returned into the house. I then attached it to my 5DM3, turned both on, and set up the GPS using the 5DM3 GPS menu. I set Auto time setting to Auto Update, Position update timing to 15s (the default), Digital compass to enable and then performed the compass calibration.
I then snapped a picture of a map on my wall, turned the system off, removed the CF card and connected it to my iMac via a CF reader and imported the image into LR as a dng, checked the geo info, deleted the image and file from LR, and reimported as a native CR2 file.
I then replaced the CF card into the 5DM3 and repeated the import processes only this time I imported directly from the camera rather than removing the CF and using a CF reader.
Things just worked as I assumed they would. All four images as imported into LR4.1 came with their geo metadata intact. I was not surprised at the accuracy of the GP-E2 in the house as I have a large south facing window and my several other GPS devices all work well from my desk.
I can't think of what might be going wrong with your setup but at least you know it should work. You might try deleting the LR preferences and try again. I've heard of strange geo metadata problems, along with many other strange situations, being cleared up by deleting the preferences.

Trial version of Lightroom 5 will not import from a media card [was: Terrie]

I have the trial version of lightroom 5 & it will not import from a media card

Do you mean that the automatic import dialogue box does not appear?
Or something else?

Lightroom 3: images not imported because the files can not be read:

Nikon D700 NEF files are fine. I can copy them to a folder and work with them in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw.
LR3 will not import them to the existing catalog from the CF Disk or from a folder on the c:\drive. I tried creating a new catalog -- the same problem occurs.
Suggestions are welcomed.

I have the latest version
LR 3.4.1
Camera Raw 6.4.1
I created a new Catalog in c:\My Documents\LR2011\...
Running Windows 7 64 bit
Emptied the ReCycle bin
Have plenty of storage...
Now I'm getting the message: "Could not copy file to requested location"
Everything worked fine with LR 2 and the LR 3.0
Since upgrading I can't read NEF files from my D700 or copy to requested location. LR will display thumbnails, but I can not add to my now, non-existent Catalog...
What a farce!!!

Lightroom 1.2 not importing RAW (CR2) files from 40D

Just upgraded to LR 1.2 and thought it would solve my problems but find that it doesnt appear to import CR2 files, either directly from a card reader or from a file already saved to the computer. It says files use an unsupported color mode. These were shot in RAW (not sRAW) + JPG and others were just RAW.
Do I need to change any setting in Lightroom to make it work with the new RAW settings?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ooops... Me bad. It works fine. For some reason 1.2 didnt install the first time I ran the installer. After finding that it was still 1.1, I ran the installer again and it took. Now its importing 40D files just fine.
Sorry for the false alarm.

My lightroom 4 will not import my files from my compact flash card . It has been working for years with out fail but now there is no import previews and it says the files are not recognized by raw format support in LR

I have lightroom 4 I've had it for years and it has imported my raw files from my CF card without issue . Now when I plug in my CF card to import new files it says import operations not performed and there are no image previews . When I continue by hitting "import" I get a pop up window that states "the files are not recognized by raw format support in Light Room"

Don't feel too bad. If the D4S has as many menus and custom functions as my Canon 5D Mark iii its easy to get messed up.
If you downloaded from the link I gave you it will be Lr 5.4. The link was just to show you when the D4S was supported. The newest version is 5.7.1 and can be downloaded here. Don't know your OS so you will have to pick Windows or Mac. Product updates
On my Mac I just run the downloaded installer program (its a full version and not an small update) and it installs the new version and erases the old version. If you are on Windows you will have to get help from a windows person.

Lightroom 4.3 not importing all photos

Using Mac, 10.7.5
Have used lightroom version 3 (now 3.6) with Canon 7d and Canon 5dmk11 with no issues.
Connect cameras to computer via usb, in lightroom 3.6 both cameras immediately recognised by lightroom import preview pics shown, no issues.
Ugraded to lightroom 4 (now 4.3) have no issues importing photos from Canon 5dmkii, however seems to be hit and miss with the 7d. Lightroom does not automatically see the 7d, I have to use import and then select the 7d. On importing the photos sometimes it is fine other times I have a number of photos with a ? and message missing file cannot be located. Close down lightroom 4, open lightroom 3.6 connect the 7d and all the photos are imported including the ones that had a ? in LR4.
In the end I stopped using LR 4 went back to LR3, but have recently bought Fuji XE1, raw files not supported in v 3 so back to using LR4, and am getting the same issue. Have deleted and re-installed lightrrom 4 , still some import issues, tried Adode remote chat line, (waste of time, the rep had less idea on LR than I do)
Please has anybody got any ideas, as to cause or a solution, as this is driving me up the wall,
Many thanks Neil

Rikk,
Thanks for the reply,
yes I have tried with a card reader and have had some mixed results, but always when I go back to lightroom 3 all the photos are seen and imported.
I reinstalled LR4 yesterday, upgraded to v4.3.
I have set up a new catalogue with none of my historic photo's, I will archive those in LR 3.6.
Have re-installed the latest firmware for the canon 7d,
Took some test photo's connected camera via usb, had to manually select import, the 7d was listed, then imported pics, no problem this time, need to see if this is consistent. Did the same with the Fuji xe1 and all 12 pics loaded.
Will try tomorrow with significantly more pictures from both cameras.
I wonder if there is any issue associated with importing the old catalogue from 3.6 and upgrading in LR4?
Enjoy New year,
Neil
