Lightroom does not identify jpg images as duplicates

I'm using Lightroom 5.3. I'm importing images to my catalog from one external drive to another using the "copy" function. I have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, but Lightroom does not identify duplicate jpg images as such and lists them as new files to import. If I import these images they show up in my database/catalog with the -2 designation. The images are identical in filename, capture time, size and EXIF info. I have tried removing my preferences file and starting another but that doesn't change the behavior. I have seen other posts with similar issues but cannot find a solution that works for me. I don't see this listed as a bug either. If anyone has suggestions for a fix I would appreciate it. Thank you.

There is a catalog-specific preference whether to allow LR to adjust date/time values in raw files. I think that is for LR to add a timezone or not. Since these are JPGs maybe this setting doesn’t apply, but maybe the JPGs were imported from RAWs that had it set, or maybe the setting does apply to JPGs, now, too.
It would be worth checking the catalog-specific setting and playing with it to see if you can get the timezone to either exist or not existing for both the images, depending on which one has it, now.
If your current system timezone is not UTC-7, then it would make sense for LR to interpret the images without a timezone to be in the system timezone and different than the ones that have a timezone associated with them.
If the pictures were taking across multiple timezones then there probably isn’t’ a good way to get them all to have the corresponding timezone as the other copy you’re trying to import.

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched. I had to manually locate. Is there a fix for this?

I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

Iphoto 09 does not recognize .jpg images?????

Recently updated to 10.5.6 + iLife 09 +iWork 09 (box set). First time trying to add pictures to iPhoto 09 I get the following message...
"Unreadable Files: 20
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format)"
These files are .jpg, loaded from a Kodak camera to local drive using Image capture (so I can embed camera icc). The Finder reports the file as a jpg, and Photoshop reports file to be a jpg. Preview will open them without a problem. So what's up with iPhoto???
Michael

Larry, first thanks for trying to help...
Where... ~/Pictures/Acquired from Camera. A folder I made just for this purpose, and have been using for "years."
The profile I am using (have been for years) is "KODAK Generic DCS Camera Input."
The initial test of saving from Preview did not work, however, a second test where I used Preview's "Assign Profile" to change the profile to sRGB, did allow the picture to be imported into iPhoto. (small yeah)
So I guess this means that iPhoto '09 does not like the default Kodak Camera profile.
I would love to close this thread, and call it solved, but I'm more inclined to call this a bug in '09. So much for Color Management. See, I really got better color by doing this, than if I imported the pictures straight from the camera to iPhoto. Would I really go thru the extra steps if it wasn't necessary?
Thanks,
Michael

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.

When in Lightroom 2.3 edit in Photoshop does not bring up image in Photoshop

When in Lightroom 2.3, you go to edit in and select Photoshop, it opens Photoshop CS6 but does not bring the image in. This has only happened recently and maybe I have done something to make this happen as it never used to happen. What can I do to figure this out?

First, update your LR 2.3 to 2.7. The update is free and should help with some things: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4677
If after updating Lightroom, it doesn't start working, initiate a repair install of Photoshop CS6.

Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

Lightroom does 'split-toning', but I suspect that's not what you're after.
A duo-tone in offset print terms refers to a BW image printed with black and one additional colour. LR however works only in the RGB colour model, so you need to resort to e.g. Photoshop for duo-tone (or CMYK) conversions.

Lightroom does not Recognize Capture Date

I have a lot of slides that I am scanning into Digital images.
The Nikon CoolScan does not include a capture date in the .jpg file so I add one using the ExifPilot program.
All other programs that I have tried correctly recognize this EXIF data, including Adobe Photoshop Elements. But the Lightroom does NOT recognize it and the file gets put into the library under "Unknown Date" Attempts to change the date with the Metadata/Edit Capture Time command do not work.
Any Ideas on what could fix the problem?

Yes, this is a problem, not only with files from scanner. I started a threat
called "Date/Time, Exif and Lightroom" on March 6 about that - have a look
there. Alas, no solution.

Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

This is a strange situation. The bullets below outline the situation:
The project does not display any images
When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
I tried the following basics:
Fixed permissions
Rebuilt the database
Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
Found the images in my Aperture library
I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
Any idea how I can fix this?
My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.
RB
One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

LR2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100

LR 2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100 which I have just purchased. I have downloaded latest DNG raw converter 7.4 but does not work. The images come through fine in Bridge but not Lightroom. What is the problem?

Since camera makers insist on their own proprietary file formats, Adobe must provide support for each new camera as it is introduced. When a new version of Lightroom is released all development and support for the previous version ends. Your camera wasn't even mentioned or introduced when Lightroom 2.7 was released. Consequently, there can be no support for it. When you buy the newest camera model you should expect to also buy updated software to support that camera. In any event, the raw processing in the latest version of Lightroom is so far superior to what you have you really need to upgrade your Lightroom. You might consider using the Lightroom 5 beta until the official release.
Are you sure the DNG converter doesn't work? You only point it to the folder containing your raw files. The DNG converter doesn't list the contents of the folder. You will only see a list of your NEF files after you click the button to convert them.

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution. The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

I bought a Nikon D7100. Lightroom does not recognize the Nef Raw files what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the
images using windows rather than the Nikon Transfer.

Swf does not load the images on the web

I made a swf that works perfectly on my computer.
The swf does not load the images, cal with the buttons, when I use the swf on the web.
I think the problem is due to the fact that the web changes the path of the file, that is called with the following variable:
var ImmageUrl: String = "MyFolder2 /" + MynamePic + ".jpg";
The path is C:/MyFolder1 "(with the swf)" /MyFolder2 "(with the pics)"
Any hint ?
Thank you.

When you place an swf in a web page, any files that the swf loads have to be targeted as if the swf is sitting in the same folder as the html page. If you have the swf in a different folder than the html page, then you need to adjust the paths for the files it loads so that it acts as if it is in the html page's folder.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Lightroom does not recognize the raw format of files loading from my Nikon AW1 and loads them as jpegs. I know there are updates that would allow this camera to be recognized as shooting raw but I haven't been able to work it out. Any help out there?

Lightroom does not recognize the raw files (necs?) coming in from my Nikon AW1. It loads them as jpegs. I know it is possible to update Lightroom so it knows my Nikon but I can't get it to work.
I would like files to be loaded as .dng.

Lightroom does not show up in my Adobe CC app

Originally I installed Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom CC on a clean iMac using the Adobe CC app.
However now Lightroom does not show up in the installed apps in Adobe CC. Instead it shows it in the list of adobe programs with "Install" by it.
I think this is why its not telling me it needs upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 hence I cant use the new Lightroom Mobile.
How can I get it to show up in the Adobe CC app ?
thanks

try signing out and then back in to your cc app.
if that fails, follow solution 2 here, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
