Lightroom CC will not export photos

I installed Lr CC the night of April 21 (first day it was available) and have tried exporting several different photos, one at a time, without success; the pop-up message says "Some export operations were not performed.  The file could not be written."  Shutting down the program -- even restarting the computer -- had no effect.  The photos are from different years, and thus are in different folders on the external drive where they reside.  My computer is an iMac with Retina 5K display, Intel Quad-Core i5 processor, 16 GB RAM, and AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics card with 2 GB of dedicated memory.  Exported photos go to a separate folder within the year-month folder the RAW image is in; capacity is not an issue, as the 2 TB drive is less than half full (same drive and export arrangements as used with Lr 5 for about six months, without once encountering this export problem).

This is an update, not a reply.  I set up a new external hard drive and put today's photos on it, then imported them into Lightroom CC.  With the photos on the new drive, I can export photos -- so the problem may be with the old external drive.

  • Can anyone Help?  My Lightroom 4 will not Export, it just crashes when it tries?

    I haven't been able to EXPORT from Adobe's LIGHTROOM 4 in 2 days!  I've rebooted the PC at least 4 times, backup the catalog (with over 90,000 photos that took a while lol), closed photoshop and lightroom and then reopened them countless times and it is still not allowing me to export.  The files are not missing and it's just stalling when it starts to export and has to close itself down.

    I am having this issue as well and it is sporadic. Most of the time, when I export I get the message "Export Results | Some export operations were not performed." The saved error message contents read as follows:
    The file could not be written. (1)
        M:\Images\To Be Edited Photos\2000_07_26\03946_n_12ahltu3f83891.jpg
    I can't delete or even view the newly created file unless I shut down LR4.2.
    I've tried written to different drives and confirmed that there is no monitoring of the directories by other software.
    I am running Windows 8 but noticed the the original author of this thread is running Windows 7.

  • Lightroom 3.4 will not export ( or import)

    I am hoping one of you may have the answer to my question...
    Lightroom 3.4 will not export a file to any place except the user a/c. When I open the export dialog box (File>export) or right-click or the box at bottom left of the library window, and select 'choose', it will only show me the user account. i am unable to see either the C;/ drive, any of the other HDD's on my machine (9@) or the LAN i use. a similar thing happens when importing. i am using Win 7 Pro x32 SP1 with all updates, 4Gb RAm Nvidia 9800GT...
    I have tried the following:
    deleted the preferences. No joy.
    reinstalled in a newly named folder after rebooting.No joy.
    created a new user account and copied data across, using the MS-approved method. No joy.
    4 Called Adobe tech support., who referred me to their Lr specialist. He told me
    he had no idea what the problem was and
    to create yet another user account and move data across in chunks.(Your Case Number:0182304540) and see when it fell over. Definitely no joy.
    With work piling up, i am getting frustrated.
    Maybe it is time to move to Photo Mechanic..
    unless one of you has a suggestion...please

    hi: i think i have found a way around it.
    by manually entering the drive address/path in the folder to be selected, it suddenly shows it.
    likewise entering the adress and saving it as a new export preset suddenly brings up all the hidden presets.
    wish i knew why it did this...

  • Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on.

    Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on. This severely strains my workflow and makes it incredibly hard to add the image after it is exported to the desktop Illustrator. Is this being fixed??

    This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
    Thank you,

  • Lightroom 5 is not exporting my previews in the catalog, please help!

    I purchased Lightroom 5 on Wednesday and had no problem exporting my images from a catalog that included previews and smart previews. Now it is having trouble exporting my previews. I'd tried restarting lightroom, trying different folder, I made sure all images were there, and still no luck. I would appreciate any help!

    To be clear: Lightroom (without a plugin) can not (or should I say will not) export "plain" (lib) previews.
    That said, if there is a smart preview, you should be able to export.
    Are you saying there is a smart preview, but you can't export?
    What about if there is NOT a smart preview - still a problem??

  • When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

    Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files.  It will only import the photo files.  How do I import the video files?

    You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

  • I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
    For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
    Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
    Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
    In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
    Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
    Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
    You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
    Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
    Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
    That's it. Best of luck.

  • I am running yosemite and I have the latest version of iphoto.  It will not export movies.  Any ideas?

    I have finished editing my slideshow in iPhoto.  It will not export as a movie file.  Any ideas?

    Usual fix: reinstall the app:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Retina 5K w iPhoto 9.6 will not send photo to Epson XP-810 Series printer

    Retina 5K w iPhoto 9.6 will not send photo to Epson XP-810 Series printer. Eternal/Infernal Beachball starts immediately and the system is frozen. Requires hard shutdown to clear and regain control of computer operation. I can export photos to my Desktop and print out of the Preview App, but that isn't really satisfactory.
    I also have had an intermittent problem of not being able to send an email with pictures attached from within the iPhoto - this problem extends back to Mountain Lion days.
    I have checked for Epson XP-810 Series s/w downloads both on the Epson site and the Apple App Store, and I appear to have the most current version.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache. [was: Lightroom 5 question]

    @Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.

    This is the Photoshop forum however.
    Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
    The default location is usually in Pictures.
    Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
    Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
    Then try re-launching Lightroom.

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • What Keynote features will not export well to PowerPoint?

    I am an expert PC user switching to mac...
    We use MS Live Meeting for webinars, and it only accepts (as far as I know) PowerPoint presentations. I would like to produce the presentation in Keynote, and then save as to PowerPoint. However, my experience with Pages importing office 07 has been disappointing to say the least.
    So, before I spend a lot of time learning Keynote, I would like to know what features of Keynote WILL NOT export properly to PPT. I don't want to spend a lot of time creating cool effect (magic move?) only to realize it was wasted.
    Is there a URL that explains what won't work? Is there a way to gray out features in keynote that will not work in PPT?
    Thanks
    bob

    Here are a few issues with exporting:
    Generally the transitions will not export well -- any of the effects that are not directly available in PowerPoint will not transfer at all, and even those that are available (such as "dissolve") for the most part look worse in PowerPoint than in Keynote. This includes "content-aware slide transitions" such as Magic Move, Text Effects, and Object Effects transitions.
    Smart Builds are not supported at all. Action Builds are not supported at all.
    "Normal" Builds In and Out have limited support -- again, any of the animations not directly available in PowerPoint will not transfer.
    In terms of graphics, Drop Shadows have limited support -- any shadows will be rendered as a solid colour, without translucency or feathered edges. Text translucency is not supported, although image translucency is. Image Adjustments are respected in export.
    (The above is all gleaned from spending 5 minutes playing with Keynote. If you want to determine if some specific effect is available, I'd suggest downloading the trial version and see what happens.)
    I have used Keynote quite successfully to create PowerPoint presentations, but for the most part I avoided any animations/transitions, and used it primarily for its templates, graphic abilities, and easier management of slides (e.g., I find it far more straightforward to edit templates in Keynote than in PowerPoint). Also, I always check the finished product very carefully in PowerPoint, as it is not uncommon for text spacing to be somewhat different.
