LIghtrroom 1.1 problem 1 & 2 importing-copying from CF cards (raw)

Hi.
With Lightroom 1.0 I didn't had this problem, but since I updated to 1.1 and Im importing from CF cards (raw files) and this is very darn often, Lightroom comes up with problems either 1 or two and its not able to copy 1, 2, or 3 files. But if I try to import again those missing files it does import them! And this is very annoying because I have to go one by one to see which one (s) it missed!
And much worst sometimes it doesn't read a big chunk of files. It shows that it found lets say 100 raw files and shows them in the import text box, when the finder (Mac OSX 10.4.10), camera, and other software its showing me the real 130 files.
Also, sometimes I select some of the images I want to import in that dialog box, and it imports some random ones. This has happend a few times. And when I try it again and it selects the same random ones even if a choose a completely different set of images.
Whats going on? I didn't install any new software/hardware to my MacBookPro computer but the Lightroom Update!
Please help Lightroom is killing me!

I've seen Lightroom (1.0) fail to import all images from a card reader, that otherwise works fine (I've never had a single problem just copying the entire DCIM folder from the card to my hard drive using the Finder). This was mitigated somewhat by Lightroom's duplicate detection; I'd say "import my memory card" and it would get 90% of it but miss a couple (and no easy way to select the ones it missed). But then I just say "import the whole thing again" and it would do only the ones it had missed the first time. Repeat until it got no errors, which sometimes took 3 or 4 passes.
The whole thing was not very confidence-inspiring though, so now I always copy the files from the card to where I want them, then tell Lightroom to import them at their current location, and I haven't had any problems doing that.

Cannot import photos from CF card (raw) LR 2.5

After i installed 2.5 update, suddenly LR will not import photos from my CF cards. These raw files can be seen with preview, but when I try to import them Lightroom seem to be converting images to DNG, but after that process message appears saying that LR could`.t import I have tried rebooting the iMac running Leopard O.S., but it made no difference. I also tried deleting the Lightroom preference file, that didn`t help eather.
CF cards are working perfectly with 2,4 version, on MacBook Pro..
Does anybody have a solution?

I thought so too, but images was not to find on my hard drive..
Funny thing is when i tried to import regular JPG files from some other SD card, it worked perfectly.
I always shoot in raw, and i always choose to convert to DNG while importing.
I am suspecting that it might be something wrong with this new raw update!
The exact massage i get after LR has converted to DNG:
"Could not copy a file to the requested location"
under that all of de NEF files are listed

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".. This has never happened before.

I also have the exact same issue. New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC. The import stopped when the network connection was lost. Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders. I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.

When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.' The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

What version of iPhoto?
What colour profile is the shot?
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?

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

I can't import photos from microSD card.

I can't import photos from MicroSD card. I have an Android phone and it's getting too full. I have to import the photos into iPhoto ASAP. First I tried using the Android Transfer Files app to transfer the photos directly from my phone and it didn't work. So I inserted a microSD card into my phone and transferred photos onto that. Used a card reader through USB and still nothing. iPhoto shows absolutely nothing loading using either method. I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. My phone can't take anymore photos. I've contacted AT&T, Apple, Pantech, and Android and not a single person could help me. A guy from Pantech actually told me I should have got an iPhone. I told him if I could have afforded it I would have. NEED YOUR HELP PLEEEEEASE!!! Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Copy the photos from the card to a folder on the desktop. Then import them from there to iPhoto. If that works you can delete them from the card.

Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
I have:
Tried different SD cards
Tried different card readers,
I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation. It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

IPhoto hung importing photos from SD card and is now not responding

Importing photos from SD card (canon raw format) and iPhoto hung and is no longer responding have to firce quit to get out of it. Suggestions on reinstalling iPhoto. or?

I was able to resolve the issue through forcing the image capture program to quit through the activity monitor and reboot the machine and everything seems to function fine now. Imported the pics, all 240 of them in RAW format.

Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

they are in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
Or -- a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

I try to import contact from sim card, but could not do, can any one help?

i try to import contact from sim card, but could not do, can any one help?

Either the contacts were not actually stored on the SIM, the SIM memory is defective, or they are in a format not useable by the iPhone.
Go to one of your carrier's stores. Most carriers have equipment that can do this, see if they can extract them for you.

Importing photos from SD card to Blackberry OS10 device

Is there a way of importing photos from SD card directly to Blackberry Z10 using card reader and USB OTG cable (ie. not using a PC ) ? My camera has no WIFi or NFC. Thank you.

Hi!
I don't understand You clearly, I think. Why do You need cardreader if Z10 just has SD slot? Anyway, Z10 hasn't USB OTG at all. Z30 and Passport only have that feature.

Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

I have the following problem:
I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
The problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
(Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
Has anybody experienced the same problems?
Cheers
Rainer

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

Cannot import photos from SD card into USB card reader after 10.4.10 update

Prior to the 10.4.10 update, I used a USB media card reader to import photos from my Canon camera's SD card and it worked fine. I just tried to do that for the first time since I installed the 10.4.10 update, and now the memory card doesn't show up in iPhoto as a disk from which to import photos.
I'm back to transferring pictures through the cable, which is a bit of a pain and a waste of a new media card reader. Is there a way to restore this ability to use the card reader?
Note: I switched from Windows to Mac in February 2007, and except for having to hunt for media card readers that work with the Mac and a few kernel panics due, I think, to a problem with my Logitech mouse drivers, it's been pretty painless.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10) C2D 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive

This problem is not generic to 10.4.10 -- but it is specific to Intel based Macs. I have the same problem with a Zynet 8-in-1 USB-2.0 card reader. It fails to mount on 10.4.10 Intel based Macs but works fine on 10.4.10 PPC macs (and on 10.3.9 PPC too)
It is very annoying because connecting through my phone is very slow, especially when updating 2GB of MP3s.
The reader, with card inserted, is recognized, but no storage media is seen and of course it does not mount as a disk device like it should:
USB Storage Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Product ID: 0x3260
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Vendor ID: 0x0aec
There are no relevant error messages.
I hope Apple's reading these posts -- this sounds like a major, but all too common, FUBAR in the driver code. A fast fix would be very much appreciated!

Importing contacts from memory card

Have recently got new 5800 after mine got wet. The new one is slightly different and I have put my memory card from old one into new phone.
I can't seem to find the right route to import my numbers off my memory card.
I'm sure the card is not corrupted as it had all my music on which automatically transfered when I opened real player.

file manager>double click the memory card>option>copy contacts>from memory card...
this is how i remembered doing it.
