Lightroom 5.7.1 can't import NEF files!

Importing from an SDXC card - RAW photos shot today with Nikon D7000.
Recently changed to Mac Mini running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and Lightroom 5.
LR5 can "see" the images but when I try to import them I very quickly get a dialog box saying
Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read:

That error message is often misleading. Check your destination folder for the correct spelling and also check the destination folder for both read and write access at the OS level.

  • New imac, lightroom and cs3 can't read NEF files?  What to do

    Adobe support is down so I am here for help from all of you. I don't have a clue what bridge is or whether I need to use both bridge and Lightroom. Anyway, I will be importing nef files from a D300 to an external drive onsite with a windows xp pro laptop and connecting the external drive at home to edit etc..
    Any help, please?
    Sheryl

    What kind of filesystem is on the external hard disk? It might have to be FAT32 for the iMac to be able to import from it. NTFS support is not very good on Mac OS X. You might have to copy the files first manually to your internal harddisk and then have lightroom move them into the folder structure.

  • Upgraded to Lightroom 3.6, cannot import NEF files from D700

    Hi!
    I just upgraded my Lightroom to 3.6 on my MacBook pro running Lion. Since then, I cannot import my pictures anymore, either from the camera directly, through a compact flash reader (SanDisk) or by adding the picture directly from my hard-drive. The standard Mac utility to download images work fine.
    Lightroom tells me that it cannot read the files, with Lithgtroom 3.5 it worked (nothing changed in the meantime Camera profiles, OS X, etc.).
    You can find one NEF file I cannot import here (dropbox link) : http://db.tt/6zSiNzYK
    Any idea?

    Thank you Sean,
    I'll try that once I'll have managed to get the import working. I created another catalog since last time I thought the import worked but again I got stuck.
    Do you know anything else I could try? Ideally, do you know how  I could get a better diagnosis? By the way, I already got in touch with the CS but all I got was a lousy answer (update my ACR... for Lightroom -_- )
    I'm using Lightroom since the first version and I start to really be discouraged.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Why won't Lightroom (current version) import NEF files?

    I have Lightroom v. 5 current, and it fails to recognize and import .NEF files. I use a Nikon D800, and can't directly import the RAW files into Lightroom. It doesn't make sense to me that this fails to work since most instructions seem to assume it does. Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious, but I don't know what.
    Appreciate any help!

    You have most likely used an obsolete version of a Nikon Transfer or Nikon ViewNX to work with your NEF files.  Nikon says these old versions change something in the metadata of newer Nikon files that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe products.
    Either update your Nikon products to versions that are as new as your D800 camera, or quit using Nikon products to transfer and view your images.
    To uncorrupt images that you’ve already transferred or viewed, a utility from this website will correct the problem:

  • I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac.  I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom.  I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac.  I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

    If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

  • I can't import raw files into lightroom

    I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

    I don't use nikon software.  I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

  • Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

    This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
    It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
    Lightroom version 2.0
    Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
    Camera Nikon D3
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
    MacOsX version 10.5.4
    I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Marsel

    Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
    Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
    Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
    These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
    When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

  • Trouble with importing .NEF files, help please?!?!

    I am trying to import my .NEF files into Lightroom and keep getting a message that pops up stating "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.".  I have never had a problem importing .NEF files before.  Does anyone know why I keep getting this message?  Help, please and thank you!

    Either the NEF files are from a camera newer than your LR version – each camera must be supported explicitly, OR your NEFs have been corrupted by using new camera NEFs with older Nikon software.
    So either upgrade your LR to a new version or stop using obsolete Nikon software with your NEFs.  You can use the following utility to fix the corrupted caused by obsolete Nikon software:

    hello, failing miserably here,  cant import nef files from aperture 3.1.2 to iphone 4.  I am syncing with the projects and smart albums and I am only able to sync the jogs and psd's   Anyone out there to aid this frustrated photographer??

    See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after.  As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

  • Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Thank you for your response.
    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • Iphoto won't import NEF files (RAW) How do I convert to Jpeg?

    Iphoto won't download Nikon NEF (RAW) files. Nor will Aperture. Can I convert existing files to Jpeg ?

    Iphoto won't download Nikon NEF (RAW) files
    The raw support is specific for each camera model. iPhoto and Aperture can import NEF files for many Nikon models, and it will depend on the camera you are using and your MacOS X version, see this list of supported cameras: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Can I convert existing files to Jpeg ?
    Use the software that came with your camera to develope the RAW files, that will give the best results.  Or try the Adobe DNG converter - download it here: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
