Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a backslash in the name

Lightroom 4.1 will not import files with a name containing a backslash "\" I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Under Preferences I have checked and "Treat the following characters as illegal" is set to "/:"

Your preferences and configurations will not be deleted. Of course, I'd advice you to back it up anyway and then completely remove LR.
You find all the files here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/929/cpsid_92954.html

  • Lightroom 5.3 will not import files

    Suddenly getting message "Some import operations were not performed" and "The following files were not imported becsuse they could not be read" followed by a list of the files selected for import. Was working fine the day before.
    Using Mac with OS X 10.9.2 and reading .NEF files from camera or card reader.
    Import works with LR4.4 so don't believe hardware is the issue.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled LR5.3, but getting same message.
    Really stuck at this point. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Keith,
    I am now having the same problem.  On my recent trip, I had no trouble importing.  Now a few days later, with the same computer, same camera, same SD card, same card reader and same destination folder and import options the import functionality hangs and I have to force quit Lightroom.  
    No folder permissions have been changed.   I am the administrator and only user of this mac.   I clicked on your link above but it didn't take me anywhere with an answer.  I have even tried copying the pics from the SD card to my hard drive with same result.  
    I have got to find a solution to this problem -- I didn't spend thousands of dollars on a new computer and cameras just to get stuck at this point.  I don't want to abandon Lightroom and seek alternate software, but I will if this issue can't be solved.
    Obviously I'm not the only one having this problem.

    SUGGESTION:
    Install the Canon EOS Utility that came with your camera. Also check for an updated version of the EOS Utility after the install. You need to install from the CD first before you can install any updates.

    If the EOS Utility can download the CR2 files to your hard drive, then your camera is not defective.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

    iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

    This is what that error means:

    Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
    Download and launch  BatChmod.  Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window.  Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group.  Everyone will have R only.
    Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button.  When done try importing the files again.

  • Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    I have this camera model and it has been supported by Adobe products for many years, already, including LR 5.2.
    If your XSi CR2 files won’t import into LR, then something may have corrupted the files, or the process you’re using isn’t quite right.
    As others have said, please give more details of the process you’re using, any error messages you receive, and if necessary, you can supply a CR2 file for others to examine, by uploading to http://www.dropbox.com and posting a public download link to a reply, here.

  • S3 backup can't upload files with apostrophe​s in the name

    s3 backup doesn't seem to be able to upload any file with an apostrophe in the name.  I see a load of "Unable to upload 'foo bar's.file' to Amazon S3" warnings in the event log.  The log is littered with file names that contain an apostrope.  This seems to be the thing that stands out in common with all of the failed transfers.  Is there some way to workaround the problem besides renaming all files containing apostropes?
    It seems like an easy fix to properly escape single quotes in the name for upload though, but I suppose that I'll need a firmware fix for a change like that.

     Hello spitzcor
    Have you checked your Amazon S3 account to see if the files have actually uploaded to the bucket or if they did indeed fail to upload?
    I also recommend that you contact support to have an incident created.  There is a hotfix for 4.1.108 that updates the Amazon S3 applications API version and might help with what you are experiencing, although it is intended for a seperate Amazon S3 issue.

  • Lightroom 4.4 will not import NEF RAW files from Nikon D610

    I shoot a Nikon D800 and have never had any issues importing my NEF RAW files into Lightroom. I borrowed a friend's Nikon D610 and shot a bunch of NEF RAW files. I downloaded them to my computer the same way I always do. For some reason, Lightroom will not import them. The error message is: "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (455)"
    My Lightroom 4.4 is current and up-to-date.
    Bottom line: I have a bunch of RAW photo files I can't import into Lightroom for editing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    >Just curious -- is there some difference between the NEF files created on my Nikon D800 (which are easily imported into Lightroom) and the NEF files created on the Nikon D610 (which are not easily imported into Lightroom)
    Lightroom 5 supports the D610. There is a big difference between nef from the D610 and older cameras. They were shot with a camera that Adobe hadn't profiled yet when LR 4.4 was out. Otherwise, if you hack the nef files to read that they were shot on a D600, LR 4.4 will read them, but I would caution against doing that as the sensor is slightly different on the D610 than on the D600, resulting in differences in color rendering. Simplest is as dj says to convert the nets to dng (which embeds the newer profiles in the file) or to upgrade to LR 5.

  • FaceTime used to work, now it will not- any suggestions with issues that changed the functioning of it?   I cannot trash it and when I try to purchase another app for it, it says I have the newer version

    I downloaded the FaceTime app to my macbook pro-  it worked great.  All of a sudden, it won't allow me to log in with my apple ID, won't advance to the next screen.
    I tried to trash it, won't let me.
    I tried to download another from the app store- says I have a newer version
    any suggestions how to make it work for me?

    thanks for your reply.  I tried this without success.   My apple ID is fine- I verified it and it works.    I sign in and it takes me to the page saying "NEXT" but when I click on that, it takes me back to the sign in page.   My contacts all disappeared.    And I cannot open the FaceTime Preferences pane-  is grey and Not able to be clicked on to open.     My apple ID works but my FaceTime will not.
    any other suggestions
    I updated to the most recent OS mavericks too

  • Import connections with + (plus) sign in the name

    Hi...
    There seems to be an issue with importing connections that contain a "+" sign in the (reference) name.
    This is easy to replicate:
    * Create a new connection and name it e.g. "Test 123 +" (no matter if there are whitespaces or not)
    * Export the connections (e.g. c:\temp\exp.xml)
    * Look at the XML- you will find the connections names as they are...
    * Now delete the test connection in SQL developer and try to import the connection from the file
    I do not get any errors but nothing happens either. The connection simply gets skipped. When importing a connection file with many connection entries in it it will import all but those with a "+" sign in the name (this might apply to other characters as well).

    But you said your connection had a '+' so that should still be good. Maybe it also had one of the other characters above?
    You can override the check we do in the UI and manually edit the connections XML file to change the name to whatever you desire.Alas, only white-space and dash/minus signs in mine, I figured colon was bad. (e.g. Group - subgroup1, Group - subgroup2 type names)
    I do have one that is just named as a hostname, with the periods, but I don't see that in the list.
    Thanks.

  • Lightroom 4.2 will not import from Canon 5D Mark III

    When trying to import photos from my Canon 5D Mark III into Lightroom 4.2, the import usually freezes up at some arbitrary point.  It will either crash lightroom altogether, or it will have a message saying "could not import all files, files could not be read."  (something along those lines.)
    I am using a 1 year old iMac with a 1 TB HD.  I import directly onto that hard drive.  Lightroom has never had an issue importing.  My previous camera was a Canon EOS T1i.  The problems started when I purchased my 5D Mark III.  Images from my T1i, in fact, still import fine with no issues.  I am running OS X version 10.7.5.  My compact flash card is brand new, a Lexar 1000x.  This question/issue may have been answered elsewhere, and if so I apologize, for i could not locate it.  I have seen some suggesting it may be a hard drive issue, however, the evidence points to the 5D Mark III not playing well with LR 4.2.  (T1i images still import fine.)

  • Lightroom 5.7 will not import video (.mov) from iPhone 5s- Windows 8.1 64bit

    I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit and Lightroom 5.7.  I am trying to import video from my iPhone 5s (.mov).  After trying to import multiple times, now previews are not showing up.  I received the message, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (13)."  Then it lists the individual file numbers.  Where do we go from here?

    There's a right way and a wrong way to fix this problem.
    If you get tired of searching for the right way, consider using a script named
    'Import Any Video'
    free by me here:
    robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
    If all goes well, it will be able to transcode it to a known good importable format, and then import the transcoded file instead. (the "right way" is to figure out how to get it to import the original file without transcoding).

  • TS1398 I have never had a problem with Apple. After the 7.02 update, my Wifi grayed out and would not turn on. Now my Wifi turns on but it will not connect. I even typed in the name and it still won't connect.  I have tried all of apple's solutions.

    I have tried all the solutions apple has offered online. I will not reset my phone to factory settings unless it is a last resort. What is Apple doing to fix this? I had my last Iphone last for more than 2 years and I hve had this one less than a year. My Wifi was greyed out and now it's on but won't connect or locate any networks (but if I keep switching it on and off it will freeze on me again). Does Apple have plans to fix this problem because I refuse to purchase a new phone?
    Are there any other new solutions to try in fixing the Wifi that doesn't require freezing or heating up the phone or switching to airplane mode and resetting the network settings as well making sure it's up todate or changing the apostrophe in the phone's name? My phone has never been dropped or damaged. Everyone around the world seems to be having this problem and Apple does not seem to be making a move to fix it? I use this phone for everything and 4g will only last so long before I reach my monthly limit. Please help!!!!!!!!!

    that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html   or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

  • Projector wont publish a file with an "s" in the name

    Hello There! I've got a "weird one" for you all...
    When I try to pack a file for publishing, director mx version
    10.1 will say that my file named "galaxies.dir" is not a director
    file and then gives a second error that the file is corrupted. BUT
    if I remove the 's' from the name of the file, so that it is now
    called "galaxie.dir", the file can now be added for publishing just
    fine.
    I know that it can't be a naming limit because I can add a
    file called "galaxies_database" with no problem at all.
    I would really, really appreciate the help because to have to
    rename the file would mean I would have to change the links of
    about 450 references.
    Cheers in 2008*

    Eeeerhmmm....
    Do you have a directory called "galaxies" or something?
    Wasnt there something weird a long time ago that Director had
    problems
    with a filename if you also had a directory name like it?
    Without the
    extension probably...?
    Real memory or was it a bad dream?
    I am not sure....

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.
