Lightroom 5.7 won't recognize jpgs

I recently updated to 5.7 and updated my RAW plugin and now my lightroom will not recognize jpgs as being in a folder. The jpgs that are there are gone from the list and then they show as "missing" from library when I try to synch the folder. I try to locate the files and there is nothing showing via lightroom - however I am in the desktop folder and they are there. I have renamed them and re-synched - that works, but then it loses that newly named file again and I am back at square 1. This is making me totally crazy because I don't know why it is not recognizing that these files are in the folder.
?? Suggestions?

Hi,
You really need to provide a little more information such as operating system, memory etc.
Typically a error like this is happening because a background process is executing and interfering with available RAM, not enough virtual memory (Windows), out of date HW drivers or just a incomplete install.
Or, one of the biggest problems is add-ons in internet browsers.
Or, another Lightroom problem, insufficient permissions on the directory where you are importing image files to.
Please provide a little more info.

Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

The above contradicts with this:

So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

Lightroom 4.1 won't recognize my supported Nikon camera and lenses under "Lens Corrections"?

Develop Module-Under Lens Corrections, Enable Profile Corrections, Lightroom 4.1 won't auto recognize my Nikon D5000 camera and lenses even though they ARE supported. When I manually choose Nikon in this widow, I can only get 8 of the multitude of supported Nikon lenses to show in the drop down. Of these 8 lenses, none match any of my lenses. How do I fix this? I would like to be able to click the check box for "Enable Profile Corrections" and have it auto recognize my camera and lens.
Here is my history:
I shoot in RAW
This is a new install of Lightroom 4.1 on a new computer with all updates installed.
I'm running Win 7 64bit
I previously used Lightroom 3 on a different computer and it worked great with Lightroom 3
I'm a REALTOR that uses Lightroom to edit my photos, not a pro. So, please give answers that a non-pro can understand. I am really hoping there is some simple answer to my problem.
I did search the help file first and couldn't find an answer.
Thank you in advance for the help!!

OMG... I'm such a nit-wit!! I switched the setting in my camera to try something and forgot to swith it back!
I've been digging through this for more that an hour and never bothered to check the file setting.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Lightroom 4.1 won't recognize Elements 10

Lightroom 4.1 does not recognize Elements 10 as an external editor. Why doesn't it work?

OK I am in the same boat. I have a Mac. The problem exists from a fresh install of Lightroom 4 and Elements 10. Tried rebuilding the plist file, though why that would work is beyond me. Have uninstalled both and reinstalled them.
Is there anyone with Lightroom 4 and Elements 10 on a Mac that actually have them integrated properly (and I dont mean by using the external editor option)

Import / Synch won't recognize jpgs

Since I updated my RAW plugin on Lightroom (updated to the most current version) it will not recognize random jpgs in folders. I have a folder with 18 jpg files and it will only recognize and import 4 of them. I have tried synchronizing the folder and importing to folder - nothing. I have tried moving the files around and creating new folders - nothing. The only thing I have found that works is renaming the files but this is a hassle and I don't want to mess with my work flow doing this. It also doesn't always work and sometimes after renaming them, syching them, getting the folder to show them, suddenly they will show as missing files for no apparent reason.
Has anyone else run into this?

Double check the list of supported images. If the JPEG is CMYK (rare, but I just saw a case) that's not supported. You'll need to use RGB JPEG files. You can have this converted to CMYK later in the workflow.

Lightroom 4.4 won't recognize NEF files from my D5100

I've been using Lightroom 4 for over a year now to process NEF files straight from my memory card. For some reason, LR has stopped recognizing my NEF files. The only change was that I upgraded to 4.4 recently. Has anyone else experienced this? I did find a free adobe program that converts NEF to DNG files, but it's an extra step I don't want to have to mess around with if I don't have to.

LR 4.4 recognizes more cameras than the prior versions and doesn’t forget them.
Either you’re not using LR 4.4 like you think you are—this would be pretty obvious so I assume you are, or the files are being corrupted or otherwise changed so they’re no longer recognized.
The most common thing that causes NEFs to be unrecognized is using an older version of Nikon Transfer V1 or ViewNX which doesn’t know how to handle the header information in newer model cameras.
If you aren’t using an older version of Nikon programs with your NEFs, and instead using LR to copy the files from your camera memory card to the computer, then it is possible that LR 4.4 is using the USB functions of your computer differently than previous versions of LR and something with your USB system (cables, drivers) is iffy and that is causing corruption of the files. It could also be a bad card that is being transferred from faster than before and this is causing issues.
The way to test for LR-copying cause the problem is to use some other method to move files from the memory card to your computer, a card reader being most common, and see if the files are recognized, then.

IPhoto '09 won't recognize .jpg images for importing.

The resulting pop-up window displays the otherwise normal images as Unix Executable Files. If I convert the .jpg to .jpg 2000, then it imports with no problems. Result is a MUCH larger file. Any fixes?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If the above doesn't help try the following:
1 - download Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile from Toad's Cellar and drop copies of your problem files on it. Then try importing the new jpegs that are created.

Lightroom 4.4 won't recognize custom camera profiles

I can't get LR4 to recognize any custom profiles. I've loaded others' tried and proven custom profiles for Fuji X-cameras, and I've used Adobe DNG Profile Editor to create my own .dcp profile with my X-E1. All these profiles are in the correct folder: Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Camera Profiles. Yet when I open LR4 and go to the Camera Calibration panel, the only profile showing on the drop down menu is Adobe Standard. I am working with only RAW files. I have no idea why LR4 can't see these profiles. Do they need to go in a folder inside the Camera Profiles folder?

Aperture 2 won't recognize jpg files on Canon S90 after upgrading to 10.6.3

It says there are no files to import, when in fact there are many. I have tested camera on a friends computer and the files imported perfectly (using iPhoto). Could the OS upgrade have anything to do with it? Any ideas? Thanks!

You didn't mention which camera's NEF files you were referring to. This is important because each camera's raw file formats are different.
If it's a for a Nikon that's come out in the past year or so, Aperture 2.14 won't be able to read it - you'll need Aperture 3.
Which camera are the NEFs from?

Lightroom won't recognize directories or import RAW

i am unable to import RAW photographs that are already on an external drive, imported by another program via a netbook in the field. Gives no error message, just won't recognize the directories. Will recognize JPEG though. Taken with a Canon xsi. Lightroom is on an HP laptop with plenty of oomph. Have been using Lightroom v. 3.4.1 with no prior problems for thousands of photos, now all of a sudden...????
just completed installation of LR v. 3.5 and same issue: unresolved.
any help would be MUCH appreciated!

the external drive is an WD Elements that connects via USB. The directories are fine on the drive. The raw photos show as .cr2, but without a thumbnail. I'm not sure if the other program changes the file names... No -- they don't appear to be any different than the ones LR imports fromt the card...
apologies: the directories that lightroom will not recognize also contain jpegs that don't come up either. Sorry!
thanks ;-)

2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

Photoshop won't recognize files unless they have file extension

Programs won't recognize their own (older) documents unless the file name includes the file type extension. For example, Photoshop won't recognize a .jpg from another Mac unless the .jpg is included in the file name.
How can I fix that without having to type the file extension every single time I want to open a file I've made on another Mac?
I have already turned on "show file extensions" in Finder Preferences. Some files just won't show their extensions.
Is there some other setting I can change?

I just did a little testing here to try and duplicate your issue. You're right. I pulled various old files from my archives that were created under OS 9. Which as you know, didn't normally use any type of file extensions.
Anything that was a TIFF, JPEG or EPS file opened in Preview, even though I know they were created in Photoshop. Adding the appropriate extension didn't change anything, they still opened in Preview. The only ones that opened in Photoshop when double clicked were those saved as native Photoshop files, even though they didn't have a .psd extension.
I was able though to do the normal process of doing a Get Info on a TIFF, changing it to open in Photoshop and then clicking the Change All button. From then on, all TIFFs opened in Photoshop as expected whether they had an extension or not.

DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
Thanks so much!

Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
Another problem:
To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
[Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.
