Lightroom 4.1 and Nikon D700 in Tethered Mode

Lightroom 4.1 is not seeing my Nikon D700 in tethered mode.
(I'm on a big Mac Pro running 10.6.8.)
The Nikon has the latest firmware.
I have started the computer, the camera and the software in different sequences always getting the same result---No Camera Recognized.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

The D700 does not require a menu selection setting adjustment for tehtered shooting ... it is accomplished directly via the camera's firmware. Same for D800/D800e/D3s/D4 and the D300s ... and several other Nikon models ...
There were some problems reported for tethered shooting with OS X 10.6.8 that I don't think Adobe has addressed. Apparently Apple changed how USB connections are handled in that OS version, though other tether software options seem to work ok ... beyond that, you can use the Image Capture.app (found in your Applications folder) ... if the app recognizes the camera it will show the files contained on the camera card, secondly, if you go to File>Take Picture, it will open a dialog window that will allow you to actually trigger the camera with the space bar on the keyboard (or the camera's shutter release) and download the image taken to the folder you select in the option on the top right of the dialog ... If this works, then you know your camera and USB cable are working properly.

LR4 doesn't recognize Canon 7D in tethering mode

Hi,
I'm trying to get working tethering mode in LR4 with my Canon 7D and I have "No Camera Detected" in control panel of tethering capture and BUSY indicator is ON on my camera. It works just fine using EOS Utility: I can do shots, change camera settings and so on but I really want this feature inside of LR because of variety of features of LR.
System info from LR is:
Lightroom version: 4.3 [865747]
Operating system: (Build 9200)
Version: 6.2 [9200]
Application architecture: x64
System architecture: x64
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 3.4 GHz
Built-in memory: 16268.1 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 16268.1 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 221.0 MB (1.3%)
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 192.4 MB
Memory cache size: 0.0 MB
Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 4
System DPI setting: 96 DPI
Desktop composition enabled: Yes
Displays: 1) 1920x1200
Camera Raw version 7.3
Windows 8 (x64) Pro
Canon 7D firmware version is 2.0.3
Does anybody have any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks, Alex!

I'm having the same problem with my Canon 7D with LR 4.3 on MacOS 10.7 and 10.8. It worked fine with previous versions of Lightroom but it doesn't now. LR detects the camera but no images are transferred to the Mac. EOS Utility works fine.
I've been writing images to a "Camera" folder from EOS Utility and using auto import in LR as a work around but this causes delays in displaying the image in LR and confuses clients.

How to Re-activate my lightroom license after a system crash ?

Hi My computer crashed and I was forced to reformat my drives. How can I register my License as it is still active. This prevents me from using Lightroom

Hi Keith
A short desciption of my problem
History
        Installed Lightroom on my Zbook and activated my serial number
        Windows crashed and reciovery failed
        Format harddrive & re-install windows
        Downloaded Lightroom via free abode cloud interface (Dec/Jan)
        Could use lightroom until February
        Lightroom develop is inactivated ( I can see all my pictures in the Library mode)
        When I punch in my serial nr for lightroom I get the message that it is already active
I presume that the issue is that it seems that I am trying to active my license again ?

Automatic print - tethering mode

Can someone please help me?
I would like to have lightroom automatically print the moment it receives a picture in tethering mode. Currently, I need an assistant to click the print button. I have seen someone being able to do this using ACDSee Photo Manager 12, but not sure if this is capable in LR.
Secondly, if the earlier is possible, i would like to know if it is possible to automatically print after 3 shots is fired so i can print them on a 4x6. the idea is to have a photobooth.

Launch the HP Printer app located in /Users/username/Library/Printers/. That should give you the menu. However, AFAIK, each app has its own variant of print dialog box. When that pops up, select the various options until you get what you want.

NVidia video card- Lightroom freezes at startup, stalls, crashes when switching modules [Windows]

Issue: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom freezes when you start, crashes when you switch between modules, displays blank screens in Slideshows, stalls frequently or runs extremely slowly.
Solution: The nVIDIA nView Multi-Display Technology software (also known as nView Desktop Manager) is known to cause these symptoms. If you have this software installed, please see following Technote for resolution of problem.

Okay, I ended up replacing nouveau with the nvidia proprietary drivers. I did a full update of my system, which I hadn't been able to do in over a month because of catalyst's conflict with xorg, and managed to get X working (sort of). The only issue is that once X starts, and brings me to slim, the keyboard ceases to respond. If I turn the numlock on before X starts, it turns off as soon as X starts. Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't do anything either. Not really sure where to go from here other than to switch to vesa or something
EDIT: I tried installing the beta driver as well, but nothing changed.

When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?

Hi, all...
The Canon 6D is not in the current list of supported cameras for tethering in Lightroom. When will Lightroom 4 support tethering for Canon EOS 6D?
Thanks
Steve

To be clear: Lightroom 4.3 now supports Canon 6D Raw files
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/12/lightroom-4-3-now-available.html
Lightroom still does not yet support tethering for Canon 6D

Lightroom 1.4.1 keeps crashing

I have used Lightroom 1.4.1 for years with no problems. Now, after trying to download some pictures the other night, Lightroom "quits unexpectedly" and keeps crashing! How can I solve this problem and still save my catalogue?

When Lightroom is closed look in your My Pictures Folder> Lightroom, there will be several files there including your catalog file. If there is a file ending with .lock delete this file then restart Lightroom. See the attached screen capture. Make sure you do not delete the actual Catalog file.
When Lightroom it creates this .lock file next toyour catalog file, ensuring there is no other access to the catalog. The file gets deleted automatically when Lightroom is shut down. However if Lightroom is not shut down normally then it will remain in place and prevent Lightroom from opening.

Aperture 2 keeps on duplicating files on tethered mode

Hi all fellow users,
I have been using Aperture since the launch with my Nikon D300 setup+mbp and has been very pleased with the workflow.
After i upgraded to Aperture v2, everything became a nightmare for me and i'll kick myself for doing the upgrade every time the problem occurs.
When i'm still on Aperture v1, i always shoot on the tethered mode so that my client can preview the image and tag them accordingly.
When there is a break in between shoot, i will off the camera and then resume by turning the camera on and start from where i stop.
After i upgraded to V2, whenever i off my camera and turn it on again, the software will import and duplicate whatever i just shot earlier on! creating a duplicate or even triplicate of the files depending on how many times i switch on and off.
This is really annoying,because some times i shoot about 100+ images before a break, and imagine having to wait for it to import 100+ duplicate images when u resume your work,not to mention the weird stares my client gives me..
Is there anyway to work around this stupid bug?

Hi,
I have the same issue.
Did you manage to sort yours out ?
Thanks

Lightroom 5.7 slide show crashing

I just moved Lightroom 5.7 to an I mac retina. Overtime I try to use the slide show module, it preps the slide show, then crashes once it begins the show. It was working well on my old iMac 27 in. Any suggestions? Running latest Yosemite operating system and 32 gigs RAM. Also noticed the slow processing speed in develop mode which I saw reported in other posts.
Thanks

Canon 5d Mark III and Lightroom 4.3 tethered shooting issues.

I bought a new Canon 5d Mark III and upgraded my lightroom to 4.3. I have been having issues shooting tehtered. I'll shoot and get some frames coming in and when I start plugging away the program bar will spin and I'll only get a few grey frames and it just kind of freezes. I don't know what to do.

LR4.3 was supposed to improve Lightroom's built-in tethering, but in my experience it still has some reliability problems - especialy in recovering from broken connections (not just unplugging USB but also if the camera loses power by sleeping or when changing a memory card).
Sorry if some of this is basic info, but I'd recommend you try a different USB cable - the cable end that connects to the camera is easilly damaged in a way that makes a connection possible, but unstable (I strongly recommend finding a cable with a 90 degree downward bend at the camera plug). Also, we often have to send a camera body in to have the USB port serviced. Canon has begun to provide a small rubber boot to reinforce the USB connection at the port, but they won't sell the part outside of a repair service. Be sure to use some kind of stress-relief for the cable at the camera. Tethertools sells one, but I've made mine DIY with a little string and a small binder clip... nearly free. Finally, be sure your cable is less than about 15 feet. If you need to go longer, I've successfully tethered with two cheap powered repeaters from Monoprice, but no single link should be over 15 feet.
Oh yeah, also set your camera to not sleep for a long time.
Beyond all that, is using EOS Utility for capture and LR Auto-import a viable option for you? It works very well for me. I use the Apple "Image Capture" app to tell my system to launch EOS Utility whenever the camera is connected - and set EOS Utility to launch into remote capture/camera control mode. It's very stable and recovers from disconnects or camera power loss and the remote camera control/live view can be pretty handy.
Another plus is that if you do need to disconnect USB and shoot to card, you can just copy new images from the card to your watched folder and they are imported to Lightroom with the same settings and location.
The only downsides for me is that there is no way to have a crop apply to new images using auto import -- and I have to re-save my develop preset each time I make a change. Using the "Same as Previous" option under develop settings in native tethering is so great for this and I'd love to see a similar option added to auto import.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom 3.3 print module crashing

I have tried trouble shooting this problem, but can't find a fix.
I am running Lightroom 3.3 on an iMac and it has been running fine. But a couple if issues have started lately. The most troubling is that when I attempt to print using the print module, the processing begins and then Lightroom shuts down.
I have done both a restart and cold boot of the computer. I have downloaded a fresh copy of Lightroom 3.3, deleted the old copy and reinstalled the program. None of those routiner solutions worked. I thought perhaps the catalog had suddenly become corrupt, so I did a backup with integrity check and it did not show a problem. I also tried opening a different catalog and the previous backup of the current catalog, the problem continues to happen. I generally print with Lightroom managing the printer with a professionally written custom profile. This was all working fine the day before yesterday. So I tried changing the profile and using the generic Canon profile, just in case the profile had been corrupted. I also tried printing with the printer managing the printing. This worked once but crashed when I tried it again.
The crash report says this is an "Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000d, 0x0000000000000000

I would appreciate any help or suggestions as to how to fix this.
BTW, another problem I've had recently involves going from Lightroom to Photoshop. When in develop mode, when I right click to open an image in Photoshop CS5, instead of opening the image Photoshop brings up a dialogue box that is looking for an image already on my hard drive that I would want to open. My workaround has been that if I go to the "Photo" menu dropdown "edit with" and select it, then Photoshop will open the image. I am guessing that these problems are not connected, but I mention it just incase it sheds light on whan the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you've worked this out by now. But I just ran into the same problem and the only thing that resolved the issue was removing all printers from my system preferences and readding them.

Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
Thanks for the help,
Andris

Hi Andris,
It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.
