Lightroom 5 hangs on import.  New catalog, from local disk and from SD card.

Lightroom 5.7.1
Windows 7 64bit. 
SSD, i5 16gb RAM
jpg or dng from Pextax K3
When importing photos to my catalog the import process hangs and doesn't import anything.
I have tried:
Deleting preference file
Importing from Desktop, Folder on HD, SD Card
Folder without Anything but 1 photo
Folder with Many photos
Created a new catalog and moved all photos across - the problem briefly went away and now is back.
7000 photos in this new temp catalog, but now the problem exists in my main (65k+) and temp (7k) catalogs.

Things to try:
Detach all USB devices except mouse, keyboard, external hard drives (in other words, phones and tablets and anything else), try importing
Temporarily disconnect from internet, disable virus checker and firewall, try importing

  • Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD

    Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD card on my IMac . My Camera is a Canon 650D it will open them on my pc copy. My Lightroom 4 on my IMac will also import from an sd card. Help please.

    Why not? What happens? If there is an error message, please quote it in its entirety, word-for-word, verbatim.

  • Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

  • New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

    New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation. 
    Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager. 
    The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7. 
    I have installed  The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1. 
    I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but  I cannot create vhd's  the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen. 
    The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid. 

    I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
    Two parts were taken:
    1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
    2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
    Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
    -----Infrastructure----
    Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
    Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
    Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

  • Import as DNG from Memory card to PC using Win 7?

    I import images into My Pictures (Win 7) then convert to DNG when I import into them into Lightroom where I delete and edit. The DNGs are deleted from Lightroom, but CR2 files now on my hard drive are not. Can I import as DNG from memory card to hard drive on PC so they will be deleted as well? Thanks

    AFAIK Win 7 does not have any features to Copy/Convert to DNG from your Memory Card to your hard drive.
    The import function in Lightroom certainly has this ability within the import dialog menu. Just select the appropriate settings.
    This is done from the Library Module in Lightroom.

  • Import raw files from XQD cards

    Is premier pro cc  able to import raw files from xqd cards. this video would be shot on Sony new PXW X100 4K CAMERA. Then edited with the raw files?

    You are using the word "RAW" but the camera does not shoot "RAW". Are you askign if you can import Z100 footage into PRemiere CC? Yes you can. I have some Christmas light footage I can play. I can't export it to anything that black bagic media express will recognize and play over a black magic 4k card HDMI to a 4K monitor...

  • Is it possible to export Azure VM(to local disk) and import that VM to another Azure subscription and use that successfully ?

    I am setting up one VM in my Azure subscription.
    1
    Is it possible to export Azure VM(to local disk) and import that VM to another Azure subscription and use that successfully ?
    2
    Is it possible to move VM from one subscription to another subscription directly ?

    I think Yes. If you have the copy of OS (image) and data disk VHDs then you can copy that in your new subscription. And then create VM using that image. It has nothing to do with subscription.

  • Import of Catalog from Elements 12 into Lightroom 5 not possible

    Hi Guys,
    I was able  to import one of my different Element Catalogue’s.
    Now I´m not able to select another one. As described in the help I should see a
    Photoshop Elements Catalogue dialog box, but there is no possibility to change the first entry (see picture below).
    Then I tested another steps:
    a) first open the Elements 12 and select the wished catalog and then opened Lightroom 5 - no change
    b) tried to open the pse8db file direct with lightroom 5 program - is possible but no pictures are imported.
    So please could you help me?
    Thanks and best regards

    At this time, Lightroom 5 cannot upgrade PSE 12 catalogs. Perhaps (soon) in a future version of Lightroom this will be possible.
    Since I can't see your screen capture, I have no other comments at this time.

  • Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

    I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software.  I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
    I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4  I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...".  Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
    I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine.  I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
    So my questions come down to :
    Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8?  Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
    Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
    I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4.  Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
    Hmmm?
    Thanks for any help, insight,
    Mike

    BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route.  I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support.  Appreciate the link.
    And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down.  I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am.  I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4.  I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers.  That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs.  Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
    Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

  • 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. 

  • Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

    I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

    The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months.  If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months.  If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
    The other concern is whether your OS is new enough.  I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
    The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying.  Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then.  This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
    The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

  • Lightroom 5 won't import RAW files from Nikon D7000

    Since the last two updates of Lightroom 5 I cannot import any RAW files from a Nikon D7000. I have imported thousands of photos previously in RAW from the same camera, and even iPhoto has no issues importing them. I just get an error every time, even though it shows a preview of the photos on the card.

    What error are you seeing when you try to import?

  • IPhoto won't import new photos from Photo Stream.

    Hello,
    iPhoto won't import new taken pictures from Photo Stream. When I disable and then re-enable Photo Stream, all pictures will be imported to iPhoto. But when I take some more pictures, these won't appear in Photo Stream (until disabling/enabling Photo Stream in iPhoto).
    Anyone with similar experience?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
