Lightroom freezes during file import

Hi,
When I try to import photos from a drive or my camera, Lightroom freezes, often while attempting to import the first photo. Any ideas of what the problem might be?
I'm using a Mac desktop and Lightroom 1.4.1.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! That´s it!
It took me a while to understand what you had meant and to find out, where and how to change the default setting. I did not change the preset intentionally before and I´m quite sure that LR 5.7 did not do so. There is a faint suspicion that it was done by an OS X update. Perfectly horrible!
Thankful regards

Freeze during file import

Hi,
Almost everytime I import a batch of movie files from a folder on my hard drive FCP X freezes about 3/4 of the way through the analysis and correction process. The files are all there when I force quit and restart but I wonder if all the import correction features are being completed.
Thanks

what format are the movie files and how big are they?

Lightroom 5.7 file import not possible.

After upgrading to Lightroom 5.7 file import is no longer possible, neither jpg nor raw, neither files from panasonic, nikon or fuji. Error: "files cannot be imported, because they cannot be read". Same error, no matter of using the card-slot or trying to import from hard-disk. So the card-slot is ok, because I can use it for every other operation. Im running a macbookpro with OS X 10.8.5. With LR 5.6 last week everything works very well. What the hell is it?
Best regards

HANA Studio Freezes in File Import Wizard

Hello everyone,
I'm running HANA Studio version 1.0.68, and can't get it to import any file at all. The application just freezes after clicking the Next button in the File Import Wizard after filling up the form. I've tried even simple CSV files with a few rows without success, and importing into an existing table or a new one with identical results. After closing studio I see a java error (see the screenshot below.
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Ricardo Sada

Hi Ricardo,
You can try these things
1) Try setting the value of the file as for the Xms as 512m in your hdbstudio.ini file, which will be present in your Studio installation location.
2) Check for the location of JAVA.EXE ( Kill any JAVAW.EXE in your task manager and restart the studio)
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Xmx1024m
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Xms256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
3) Chekc of the Jre path in the system environment variabled and if they are pointing to 32 bit or 64 bit Java installation

Lightroom freezes during import from SD card

OSX 10.9.5
LR 5.4
Macbook Pro approximately 5 years old
This has happened all of the last three times I'm importing to Lightroom from an SD card that came out of my Nikon D7000. I'll get about 175 photos through an import from a shoot that day. Might have 800-1000 jpegs to import. At around 175 the whole process just hangs. I can still use other programs but LR is hanging. I have to end the task (successful) but quitting LR is impossible without a Force Quit. I've tried different SD cards, that's not the issue. Any thoughts?

Photos > View > Show Sidebar
YOur card should be listed near the top of theSidebar. Select it and check the box above to Open Photos for this device.
You can also make Photos the default app in Image Capture.

LightRoom 2.2 file import question

Hi,
I am about to start populating LR 2.2 with image data. I have 2 folders on my hard drive one is Canon G9, the other Canon G10. Each folder has sub folders each labeled with the date and location the images were taken.
If I point Light Room 2.2 at say the top level Canon G9 folder and tell it to import the images will the top level folder labeled Canon G9 and the sub folders title information be retained as-is?
Is it best to leave the program set to generate minimal previews?

>If I point Light Room 2.2 at say the top level Canon G9 folder and tell it to import the images will the top level folder labeled Canon G9 and the sub folders title information be retained as-is?
Yes, make sure to select "Add photos to catalog without moving" from the File Handling popup. Your folder structure will be maintained completely and be reflected in Lightroom. To make the Canon G9 and Canon G10 folders show up, you might have to right (or control) click on one of the subfolders in Lightroom and select "Add Parent Folder".
P.S. it is a good idea to update to LR 2.3 RC (see top of forum). 2.3 fixes some major bugs with local adjustment and other issues.
>Is it best to leave the program set to generate minimal previews?
That depends on your editing style. If you first rate and cull, you might want to use at least standard previews. If the culling involves checking focus, it's better to render 1:1 previews at import. If you first start going into develop, then it really doesn't matter very much and you might be better off using minimal previews.

'Premiere Pro has stopped working' during file import

I am on the trial of PP and as soon as i attempt to import a clip, i get a message that Premiere Pro has stopped working and it closes the program.
Here is the message:
Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Users\jchristman.DRACE\AppData\Local\Temp\WER3D30.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml

C:\Users\jchristman.DRACE\AppData\Local\Temp\WER5718.tmp.mdmp

Hi,
What are the technical Specifications of your computer?
What is the exact version of Premiere Pro that you are using?
Go to File-Project Settings-General and change the Video Renderer to Software Only Mode.
Then Import the file this might help.
Thank You

Mail freezes during message import

Hi all,
I recently fire-wire transfered all of my files from an iBook running 10.3 onto a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11
When I went to open Mail, it prompted me to import my mailboxes. I've tried twice, and each time, it never gets past "Imported 14960 of 19504 messages". Up until that point it is dutifully chugging away importing messages, but it can't get past that point. Worse, there's no way to just click "ok" or "continue", if you cancel it, it starts at the top all over again.
Suggestions? Is there an alternative way to get all my mail folders? Please help!
Thanks!

IPhoto freezes during xD import

Lately we've been having problems importing photos from our
xD card via our SanDisk 12-in-1 USB card reader. If there are only
one or two pictures on the card, we can import them OK. But if
there are more, iPhoto will hang after downloading a few
(the number varies). If we attempt to cancel the import, we
are thrown into the spinning beachball of doom.
Any suggestions on where the problem is and how to fix it?

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches. I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow. Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

Every time I try to import photos, lightroom freezes, then crashes

Every time I try to import photos, lightroom freezes, then crashes. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks DdeGannes for the heads up- I knew that this was user-generated, but didn't know that Adobe doesn't reply directly.
Anyways, here's my exact query from another forum pasted (it's a lot of info to retype):
I haven't used LR 5.3 since December, and between then and now I reformatted my computer and reinstalled my basic program set. I haven't added any new programs, and if anything my current set-up should be the same as it was in December minus extra temp file bloat and a few extraneous programs.
Fast forward to today (after taking some new photos). I open up LR, and try to import but the program hangs and eventually crashes. The exact issue can be seen in this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg0uQvVoZYw
Thinking it was a bad installation, I proceeded to remove LR, and reinstall it. No dice.
Thinking it was a driver/program conflict issue, I booted into Safe Mode and tried to import. No dice.
I'm all out of ideas. It looks like the issue is fairly common (judging by the number of new help threads on the Adobe Community Forums. Does anyone have any experience, or better yet, any fixes for this particular issue?
In case anyone asks, my general computer set-up is below:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
LR 5.3
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
8GB Ram
128GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
1TB WD Green HD (where photos and catalog live)
Thanks in advance!

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

Reject columns which exceed a particular length during OWB flat file import

Hi,
I have a file in csv format. This file has a lot of columns out of which i need to use only a few. I created a file in OWB using the given csv file using the file import wizard. I am using this file to create an external table.
The import is working fine, But the problem is that certain columns (which are not required to be processed) have very huge data. This is leading to rejection of certain rows (when i deploy the external table) which have valid data for the required columns, but too huge data was columns which i do not need.
But these rows must not be rejected.
I wanted to know if there any way by which we can truncate/ insert null in these unwanted columns (either during flat file import / or during creation of external table), so that the row is taken in partially(with the wanted columns)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Julie,
As Jim posted, you could try a RAW file instead of a CSV file. In SSIS, the Raw File destination writes raw data to a file. Because the format of the data is native to the destination, the data requires no translation and little parsing. So does the Raw
File source. Besides, the Raw File destination/source can improve the package performance because they write data more quickly than other destinations such as the Flat File, the OLE DB, and Recordset destinations.

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:
