Lightroom 5.7.1 stops responding when trying to import photos from iPhone.

As the title says, when trying to import the photos from my phone which I've done with Lightroom for a couple years now, the program stops responding entirely. This happens with both mine and my wife's phones. We did leave hers plugged in over night and it eventually started responding again and I was able to import her photos. But I can account for at least 5 hours during which it was not responding first. I'm not sure what changed over night that finally let it work again.
Any ideas? Thanks!

You're sure you want to stop using iphoto? Then I would try it this way instead:
Export each event in your iphoto library separately, put the photos where you want to keep them and use "from files and folders". If there's an event that the organizer chokes on, then you'll have to go into that one photo by photo to see where the problem lies. (You are aware that using "from iphoto" is duplicating your entire iphoto library, so you don't want to do that AND keep using iphoto, right?)

IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

I get an error message when trying to import pictures from iphone to iphoto(Imac)

I get an error message trying to import photos from phone to imac. have 266 photos to get on my computer. how can i get these pictures off iphone onto my imac.?

Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

When trying to import photos from a memory card I get error "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.". When i first installed Lightroom i was able to import from the very same card because there are photos in my library. I

Someone please help...I am very annoyed with Lightroom as I have been trying to import photos with no success

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

When trying to import photos from iPhoto organizer 12 crashes

I installed new photoshop elements 12 and when It attempted to import photos from iphoto 9.5.1 it get to the 7th picture and then locks up, I have to force quit app. What can the problem be? I tried importing a few photos and it worked ok, I attempted to import using files and folders and it locked up again.

Iphoto stops responding when trying to export photos

I'm trying to prepare my photos from my summer holiday for the internet by using the Share>Export feature and letting the program resize them while I'm at it. The first batch worked perfectly, I resized some 250 photos, however I'm not able to finish the rest since Iphoto stops responding everytime I try to export photos. It doesn't matter if they are 20 or 200, it always stops responding and I have to force quit it. Does anyone know what the problem is and if it is fixable?

Right click on one of the photos and reveal in finder - what happens?
Is there any change a file with the same name as you are trying to create in the location your are exporting to (if so export to a new folder)

Getting a strange error when trying to move photos from iphone to windows f

I hook up my iphone, windows recognizes it as a "camera device", and I am trying to move my photos from it into one of my desktop folders, and I keep getting an error!!!! ???

And the error is?
Also have you tried to just browse to the phone from My Computer, locate phone as a camera and just drill down into the folders and copy off the images (or cut/paste)

Camera wizard does not recognise any devices with a camera attached when trying to transfer photos from iPhone 5s.

iTunes recognises my iPhone 5s attached, but does not come up with the scanner/camera wizard giving me the option to upload pictures. I've tried going to control panel on the computer to try and open it that way, but it does not acknowledge that any devices with a camera are attached. It gives me the option to manually add one, but then it gets too technical for me. Anyone any ideas? Help will be greatly appreciated. - Thanks
(P.S. - I'm using Windows XP if that makes a difference).

Hey Catherine Sian,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone being recognized in iPhoto. The following resource may provide a solution:

I just tried to import photos from iphone to MacAir but only some came across, many others as dark space. The app thinks I have transferred them all but I want to redo the process and it is not obvious how to do that. I deleted the dark images already,

How may I reimport photos from my iphone 4s to the MacAir iPhoto as only some images came across.. It is not obvious to me, like it is with other programs I have used.

Also, you can have Image Capture automatically open when you connect the phone or any camera. To do that you need to open iPhoto on your Mac (yes, the setting is in iPhoto and that is a bit strange).
Why do I have to buy iPhoto to get to a setting so that I don't have to use iPhoto?!?! Not very Apple-like.
If the device is attached and highlighted in Image Capture, the setting is in the bottom left corner.

Trying to import photos from iphone 4s to macbook and message shows saying photo is unrecognisable format

For some reason, now when i try to import photos to Iphoto from my iphone 4s a message pops up saying the file is an unrecognisable format. Anybody know how to change this??
Help!

Is it for one photo or for all photos?
Try using Image Capture rather than iPhoto, hopefully that fixes things.

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Everytime I open my laptop, Lightroom tries to import photos from my hard drive. Does anyone know how to stop this?Is there a default I need to change?

Everytime I open my laptop, Lightroom opens and tries to import photos from my external drive. Is there a default I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Error -36 is, as X423424X says, a generic I/O error. It doesn't say anything about what caused the error, or indeed where it occurred (source or target).
You have to describe exactly your action when the error occurs. Is the ext'l drive you mentioned formatted as NTFS (Win default file system)? Without additional software, Mac OS X cannot write to NTFS, it can only read from it.
