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

  • Lightroom does not import my images from 70d camera sd card when there is video on it

    I am attempting to import images into Lightroom 5 from a wedding that was shot on a 70d canon camera and recorded to an sd memory card. There are also two short videos (less than 2 minutes each) on the card. Lightroom acts as if it is importing with the progress bar showing but it just hangs there and nothing gets imported. I even tried unchecking the two videos but still nothing. I had no trouble importing images when I didn't have any videos on the card.

    I have the very same problem. I only noticed it in LR 5.4/5.5. If there are any videos on the card, then Lightroom is unable to see or import any of the RAW files on it. I currently have to import the videos, disconnect the camera, delete the video files, and reattach it before Lightroom can see the CR2 files. This was not an issue in Lightroom 5.2/5.3 as far as I know. I have not changed SD cards or anything else other than upgrading to Lightroom 5.4 (and later 5.5 when I found the problem). Any help is appreciated.

  • Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

    iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

    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?

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • How can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

    Hi there,
    I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
    Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
    Cheers.

    What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • Dvdsp4 will not import motion2 assets from tutorial folder

    dvdsp4 will not import motion2 assets from tutorial folder. It wont import any motion 2 .motn from anywhere as a matter of fact in sd or hd. It acts like it will then gives an alert that says incompatible format?? I trashed motion prefs and installed all pro app updates- still no go? What gives?

    Also, check whether you're trying to import NTSC assets into a PAL project or vice versa.

  • Lightroom 3 will not import any images

    [I replied to another thread, but it doesn't seem to be coming up at the top of the post list when I update my information, so I'm reposting in the hopes that someone will notice and offer some helpful advice, as this is rapidly becoming infuriating.]
    I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
    I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)".  They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter and Lightroom 2.  I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either).  I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
    I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
    I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then.  The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
    Update:  I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error.  I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
    Update #2:  I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images.  Lightroom 2 continues to import just fine. 
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    OK, I _think_ I have the cause & cure.
    Cause:
    Canon says the software [firmware?] bundled with the Canon Rebel XT  "is not fully compatible with the latest version of OSX." I can continue to automatically bring up iPhoto or use ImageCapture, in any case.  Thanks, but I want LR3.  Canon recommended that I set the controls in ImageCapture to specify opening LR3 when a camera is detected.  I did, but it was doing this before, so I saw no difference.  Also, I'm not sure it was doing it reliably, before or after this change.
    This software incompatibility might explain why the Canon Rebel XT was not loading into LR3, but would not explain why it was not recognized by the Finder to add to the Devices list.  The Canon wouldn't get added to the Devices list in OSX 10.4.11, either.
    ImageCapture could easily see the images on the camera, and could copy them to a HD without difficulty.  But it's not LR3, and nothing convinced the Finder to add the camera to the Devices.
    Cure:
    What I did find, eventually, as a method for persuading LR3 to import properly is this:
    I set ImageCapture to open itself when it recognizes a camera.
    I jack in the camera, and ImageCapture opens.
    THEN I open LR3.  It comes up with the present images in the library.
    I _click_ on the Import button (lower left), OR use the keyboard command (cmd-shift-I).  It opens the import display, _with_ the images from the camera.
    I set the LR3 import settings as I want them - I Copy the files, change file names, presets, etc. as desired.  (I make a habit not to erase the camera files, until all is said and done, and the camera is disconnected from the computer.)
    I click the Import button, and it does!
    SUCCESS!
    If I have it open ImageCapture first, that seems to persuade LR3 that images are on the camera.
    Sometimes iPhoto accomplishes the same end, but I'd rather not launch that - subsidiary issues.
    I went through this sequence a number of times, starting from neither software open.  I tried different sequences - LR3 then ImageCapture, camera first or last, etc.  The above sequence worked reliably; the others' responses confused me.
    Those of you with similar Canon uploading problems, see if this helps any.  If you don't have ImageCapture, try it with iPhoto instead.  Just open it first.
    sandrift71, does this answer your original question & resolve the problem for you?

  • PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc.  My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added.  I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos.  I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import.  I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
    After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site.  It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this.  I try and it worked.  As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
    Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size.  How can this be acheive ?
    Thanks for your help

    Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.

    You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
    Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.

  • Lightroom 5 not importing photos directly from card

    I have Lightroom 5, and it's not importing photos directly from the memory card, either via card reader or with the camera plugged in.  I have a Canon 60D, and am shooting in RAW. 
    LR5 opens, and the photos show up as thumbnail previews.  I click to import, and I get a message that the files could imported because they could not be read.  If I immediately go to the "my computer" icon, the card reader (or camera, whichever is plugged in) does not show up as being connected to the computer.  If I unplug the card reader (or camera), let Lightroom open, then immediately go to the "my computer" icon before I try to import via LR5, the card reader shows up then.  I have to drag the images from the card onto my desktop, then import the images to LR5.
    Anyone know why LR5 is doing this?

    Greyed out photos means you have previously imported the photos into Lightroom, and there is no need to import them again (nor is it a good idea to do so). You need to go to the Library Module (not the Import dialog box) and find the photos and use them as you want.
    If you try to import a not-greyed-out photo, and it takes "forever", close Lightroom and try deleting your preference file: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5

  • How to import selected images from iPhoto 11 into Elements 9?

    How do I import selected images or events from iPhoto 11 into albums in Elements 9 Organizer?  I don't want all my thousands of images in Elements.  Both iPhoto and Elements 9 are updated.

    I don't use iPhoto much at all, but you can set it to use PSE (or any other real image editing app) to edit the images you store in it. Check the iPhoto Prefs (command comma) and look at the General tab. Select PSE or any other app in the "Edit photo:" pop-up menu. That way you can still keep iPhoto for storage/filing and PSE for editing. Hope that helps.

  • I have photoshop elements 10 with all updates but it will not import raw files from my sony rx100

    Can anyone help. I have adobe elements 10 with all updates but it will not import .arw (raw) files from my sony rx100

    Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
    Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

  • 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.
