Lightroom 5.7 file import not possible.

After upgrading to Lightroom 5.7 file import is no longer possible, neither jpg nor raw, neither files from panasonic, nikon or fuji. Error: "files cannot be imported, because they cannot be read". Same error, no matter of using the card-slot or trying to import from hard-disk. So the card-slot is ok, because I can use it for every other operation. Im running a macbookpro with OS X 10.8.5. With LR 5.6 last week everything works very well. What the hell is it?
Best regards
Rabenschleuder

Thanks a lot! That´s it!
It took me a while to understand what you had meant and to find out, where and how to change the default setting. I did not change the preset intentionally before and I´m quite sure that LR 5.7 did not do so. There is a faint suspicion that it was done by an OS X update. Perfectly horrible!
Thankful regards

IMovie 11 import camera/archive not displaying movies, import not possible

Guys,
hope anyone can help me with this one:
I had some issues with my iMac lately crashing with kernel panics. It crashed (kernel panic) while i was importing some HD material into iMovie 11. ever since, I cannot see any movie thumbnails in the import view (the actual movies are still on the camera/SD card. Also importing from iSight is not possible. The green light next or the camera is on, while no window or an empty import window is visible.
I did delete the whole iLife 11 suit, incl. all references to iMovies (preferences,...) and then a complete reinstall and updated all again.
Unfortunately no luck so far.
Any tips or thoughts what I could do next as I really don't want wipe and reinstall all on my mac again?
Cheers from DownUnder
Le Jones

Hi,
My problem is very similar. I am able to choose the Archive folder and import the footage that way. However, I am only able to do that once. If I try again, it states the file is not a camera archive format file.
The only way I can get it to work again is to completely close out iMovie and restart. Then I can import an archived file. But then again, only once before I have to restart iMovie to get it to work again.
Anyone have any workarounds?
Thanks

Lightroom 5.5 files will not open in Photoshop 2014

Hi. Just updated Lightroom to 5.5, and Photoshop to CC 2014, using the CC updater. Now, when in Lightroom, Command E, or the menu selection, will not open my files in Photoshop. Any ideas?

LightRoom 2.2 file import question

Hi,
I am about to start populating LR 2.2 with image data. I have 2 folders on my hard drive one is Canon G9, the other Canon G10. Each folder has sub folders each labeled with the date and location the images were taken.
If I point Light Room 2.2 at say the top level Canon G9 folder and tell it to import the images will the top level folder labeled Canon G9 and the sub folders title information be retained as-is?
Is it best to leave the program set to generate minimal previews?

>If I point Light Room 2.2 at say the top level Canon G9 folder and tell it to import the images will the top level folder labeled Canon G9 and the sub folders title information be retained as-is?
Yes, make sure to select "Add photos to catalog without moving" from the File Handling popup. Your folder structure will be maintained completely and be reflected in Lightroom. To make the Canon G9 and Canon G10 folders show up, you might have to right (or control) click on one of the subfolders in Lightroom and select "Add Parent Folder".
P.S. it is a good idea to update to LR 2.3 RC (see top of forum). 2.3 fixes some major bugs with local adjustment and other issues.
>Is it best to leave the program set to generate minimal previews?
That depends on your editing style. If you first rate and cull, you might want to use at least standard previews. If the culling involves checking focus, it's better to render 1:1 previews at import. If you first start going into develop, then it really doesn't matter very much and you might be better off using minimal previews.

Lightroom freezes during file import

Hi,
When I try to import photos from a drive or my camera, Lightroom freezes, often while attempting to import the first photo. Any ideas of what the problem might be?
I'm using a Mac desktop and Lightroom 1.4.1.
Thanks!

Renaming files--Just not possible?

Hello--I have been long wanting some way to really organize the photos in the iPhoto library or what you see in the PicturesFinder window. I have read through the postings--and know about the cardinal sin of doing it in the finder window.
Is there anyway to rename and so organize as my brain works in iPhoto?
I have a policy of keeping copies named and organized in my documents of all photos--do I just resolve to be happy with that?
Thanks to anyone who has gone down this road, in advance!

Hi Mary,
In addition to what the others have told you, you can also download all your images with Image Capture first. Rename them or batch rename with any program that will do that for you, then import into iPhoto. The images will now have the same name in iPhoto as in the finder. The images I download with Image Capture are all batch renamed and put in dated folders. I then burn these images to DVD, then import into iPhoto to have fun playing with. I can then delete the folders of images I burned to make more room on the hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Setting Language in Lightroom 2.5 to english not possible

Hi,
Just downloaded Lightroom 2.5 on my Mac (OS 10.6) and found out, that I cannot change the language to english like in the previous versions of Lightroom. It automatically switched to German (language of my OS).
There is no possibility to set the language with Cmd + I for that application.
Can anybody help?
Thanks...

I had a similar problem. I got Dutch Lightroom menus were I expected English. I have an English Windows Vista and I usually prefer English menus. I have found a solution for the problem:
- Uninstall Lightroom
- Go to the Control Panel of Windows and select "Regional and Language Options"
- Set Location to "United States"
- Set "Current format" to "English (United States)"
- Reinstall Lightroom
- Go back to Control Panel and reset the options to your original values

Personal file sharing: not possible

Hi all, when I tried to turn ON Personal File Sharing , it switchs back to Off. Any ideas.
Thanks and Merry Xtmas

Hi Borec,
It could be that your System Preferences plist file is corrupted.
Navigate to User/Library/Preferences folder, and find the file:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Trash this file, and reattempt to reset your Personal File Sharing. (By the way, you'll need to reset all your system prefs, after you trash the above file...)
Merry Christmas,
Bob

Hi,
For the OU's that you are seeing, in the result list you will only see OU's from where you have discovered computers, how have you configured the Active Directory System Discovery agent? this is where you Control which OU's will be used for discovering computers.
AD System Discovery:
LDAP://OU=All Computers
LDAP://CN=Computers
Ok great - I changed my Device Collection to say CN instead of OU for "Computers", but on my device collection I still included my "All Computers" OU and it recognized nothing.
I have updated membership on my Device Collection "All Computers" (Querying OU=All Computers and CN=Computers - this should include all computers on my campus) and still I have 0 member count.
The query of the Device Collection and AD System Discovery are the same. Is this a problem? If so I guess I can go recognize all of the other district. I don't really want to if I can't have a collection with just this domains computers.
"For the installation of the certificate, on XP certutil is not part of the operating System, you have to manually copy that, if that can be the issue. You can use the one from the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack.."
I downloaded the admin pack for Server 2003 tool pack. Can I just deploy that through SCCM by creating a package with the Server 2003 Tool Pack .EXE?

Trying to upload raw cr2 files and Lightroom says "file is not recognized"

Backstory: I photographed a VERY important commercial shoot today and I went to upload the photos to Lightroom. The first 30 images uploaded just fine, but the rest won't. Lightroom says the file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom (401). Everything is updated in my computer... Lightroom, Photoshop ect. Photoshop also says that the file cannot be read. I can't open them in iPhoto or preview either. BUT I can see the thumbnail when I click the camera card reader on the desktop. I am uploading from a card reader as well. I shot with this card yesterday and everything was fine. I NEVER delete photos off my camera, and I always format it. If it is corrupted, how do you I find that out, and is there anyway to get my photos back?
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am panicking. Help, please.
Thank you in advance

The two raw files you've uploaded to dropbox are corrupted so Lightroom and Photoshop are giving you the correct message. At least with these two, the embedded JPG preview is there but the raw data is not correct so cannot be rendered. Here is the error that Canon's own software gives when the files are attempted to be edited:
You should reattempt to copy the images from the memory cards to your computer using a card reader and an operating-system function (Explorer or Finder) to do it rather than LR or a cable connected to the camera, then see if things work any better. If you already used a card reader, then try a different one and see if the situation improves.
If you cannot get a better set of images by retransferring them, then we can work through how to extract the embedded JPG previews en masse.

Lightroom 5.6 Win8 64 import of some photos are not possible

Lightroom 5.6 Win8 64 import of some photos are not possible: the photos are grey, the file name of the photos are already excisting in the catalog, older different photos, don’t Import Suspected Duplicates is not selected.

When Lightroom greys out a photo in the Import dialog box, it means the photo is already in the catalog. It doesn't mean that it is matched with an older photo with the same name ... in order for there to be a match, the file name and capture date and file size must be identical.
So Lightroom thinks you have already imported the photos, and you think the photos have not been imported. Now I'm sure you are a very nice person, but I believe Lightroom. What you need to do is to find the photos in your Library Module and use them there. The photos can be found by searching for them by file name, after turning off all filters, and after clicking on All PHotographs in the Library Module.

I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
Thank you @dj_paige

Lightroom 4.2. unable to import. message files were not imported because they cannot be read

Lightroom crisis:
suddenly, unable to import images into lightroom - A window comes up that says ""Following files were not imported because they cannot be read". I was in the process of importing images - 10 images were imported from the shoot then the import stopped.
I tested the card and the card readers by using cards from different cameras and using different card readers. I was able to import the images into a folder on my desktop so know nothing is corrupted.. The memory cards are good, my card readers are good. no setting have changed in my camera. Nothing has changed in my routine. Have been using lightroom for several years.
I import through a card reader, convert to DNG and save on an external hard drive. All very ordinary.
No one I have contacted has had nor knows of anyone who has had this problem.
Unable to get in touch with anyone at Adobe.
Thank you for any help or direction to tec support

On a quick read, it sounds like the same issue that had me dead in the water for 7 days. (LR 4.2) I tested everything - my card readers are good, the memory cards are not corrupted, tried different cards from different cameras,etc. Working my way through all my tech savvy friends and professionals, I was lucky to connect with a great sr. tech person at Adobe. After trouble shooting all lightroom possibilities (3 hours on the phone) we checked my external hard drive where all the images are stored. Even tho the external hard drive had plenty of space and "told me" that it was healthy and functioning well, Adobe had me go into the external hard drive's properties/tools and do a "check for errors. 12 hours later after the program went though the drive one file at a time, it found errors, moved them to a separate folder, and now all is functioning OK. The hard drive had not crashed nor were any images lost. As can happen after some time there must have been a scratch or similar that prevented more images from being written (or read) to the drive. Even though all is working OK at this time, I will replace my external hard drive (and it's back up external drive).just in case there are more "bumps" on the external hard drive.
My tech knowledge is limited, and I am not intuitive about anything digital, so can't add any more information then the experience I had.

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.
