LR 1.4.1 will not import from disc anymore

I tried to import some jpeg files from disc, chose the file destination etc. settings as usual in the Import panel, but nothing was imported. I have tried again but now cannot even get the import settings panel - I choose the pictures, and just get a blank Lightroom Library screen showing "no photos in selected item". I've tried re-booting the computer (which is running Vista Home Premium SP1) but still cannot import photos. Is there a limit on catalog size causing this? Anything else that may have caused it? Bottom line - how do I fix it?

No, the XMP metadata thread isn't relevant - my problem there was a read only flag, and these photos don't have that.
I've tried moving the photos to the desktop and importing from there, but to no avail. Not sure what you mean by "inspect"? I don't have any problem viewing these photos in Windows. They're just a few snaps I uploaded from my compact camera - I've always been able to import such photos before.
I think it must be one of the settings I put in the "Import" panel on my first attempt. I now can't get it to come up, so am unable to check or change anything. Is there a way to set the Import settings (destination etc) back to defaults?

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.

  • Lightroom 4.2 will not import from Canon 5D Mark III

    When trying to import photos from my Canon 5D Mark III into Lightroom 4.2, the import usually freezes up at some arbitrary point.  It will either crash lightroom altogether, or it will have a message saying "could not import all files, files could not be read."  (something along those lines.)
    I am using a 1 year old iMac with a 1 TB HD.  I import directly onto that hard drive.  Lightroom has never had an issue importing.  My previous camera was a Canon EOS T1i.  The problems started when I purchased my 5D Mark III.  Images from my T1i, in fact, still import fine with no issues.  I am running OS X version 10.7.5.  My compact flash card is brand new, a Lexar 1000x.  This question/issue may have been answered elsewhere, and if so I apologize, for i could not locate it.  I have seen some suggesting it may be a hard drive issue, however, the evidence points to the 5D Mark III not playing well with LR 4.2.  (T1i images still import fine.)

    Here's a post concerning 5D MKIII file corruption, which may also be due to a camera malfucntion. Yes, there could be something wrong with your camera.

    SUGGESTION:
    Install the Canon EOS Utility that came with your camera. Also check for an updated version of the EOS Utility after the install. You need to install from the CD first before you can install any updates.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#Driver sAndSoftware
    If the EOS Utility can download the CR2 files to your hard drive, then your camera is not defective.

  • Long clip will not import from P2

    I have a 26 minute interview just shot on P2 as well as some shorter b-roll clips. I'm trying to import them into FCP. The short clips all come in fine. The interview clip acts like it's importing, but when the transfer bar completes, nothing shows up in the browser.
    I can see and play the interview in the P2 import window fine.
    Anyone have an idea of how I can fix this? Any help greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    #36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
    ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.

  • Raw files will not Import from Camera?

    I have Elements 6 and Canon XSI. I took photos that I can view in my camera, when I attempted to import them into Elements 6 I'm getting the following messages: Not Imported- the files or folders seletect to import did not contain any supported file types.
    also: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the organizer?
    I have no idea what is happening or what to do?
    Thank you.

    First off the problem you're having isn't being caused by the fact that you have a trial version of Aperture. The trial version is full featured, nothing is crippled.
    You don;t state just what problems you are having when you try yo import into Aperture. Supplyinh that info might help figure out whats going on. Also I see by the product info on your post you're running Lion. Is that correct?

  • 10.6 Will not install from disc to a S.M.A.R.T. verified, zero-wiped, manufacturer's original, internal hard-drive.

    I recently wiped my main drive using zero-data process.  It seems to be "okay" when verifying its integrity.  It is also "verified" according to S.M.A.R.T.
    10.6 from Apple's Installation Disc will not install.  It makes 20 estimated minutes remaining, then tells me it cannot copy necessary files.  Is my superdrive defective out-of-box and also a year later or is my installation disc a defect?  Online communities fail to provide any other causes.
    By the way, using Recovery HD to download and install Lion is a failure.  It tried three times, each ending in failure, unable to verify said package.  Apple, try harder.

    I think my superdrive might be defective.  It ratchets an awful lot while trying to copy necessary files for installing Snow Leopard.  I am taking to a Genius Bar, running a hardware test consistently gets locked up.  Here is more on that!:
    Inserted retail Hardware Test disc, booted holding D.
    Probing took 12 hours and counting, I hard reset my computer.
    (Suggested by others) I unplugged my Logitech mouse and, wow!, probing completed.
    During pass one of mem test, it locked up showing no progress for an hour-- hard reset!
    Apple's Hardware Test was a total failure on my end.  An ethernet connection to a router and my Apple keyboard were the only things connected to my 2011 iMac while booting to this hardware test!  Bummer!  I trust my Apple team will have better diagnostic equipment.
    Can Apple Hardware Test even determine if an iMac's superdrive is bad?

  • Satellite P300-1A8 will not boot from disc drive

    Hi,
    I had a little play with start up programs, partitioning the hard drive and marking as active and deleting programs i thought i did not need.
    I obviously had no idea what i was doing!
    Laptop will go to toshiba screen then goes blank, i can not boot from the disc drive.
    I put the hard drive into another laptop and it works fine.
    I put the hard drive of that laptop in the buggered one and that works fine.
    How the hell do i put the original one back with it working??
    Really really stuck with this!!!!!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Only thing i havent tried is the recovery disc but im not paying for one if it wont boot as itl be a waste of money.
    Seems like its a compatability problem with cpu and hard drive as they dont want to be friends anymore!!
    Thank you in advance

    Hi!
    Can you boot in the safe mode?
    If you dont have a recovery disk, use the Microsoft installation disk and try to boot from it.
    And you said that you cant boot from disc drive, did you tried different disks?
    Maybe some are not readable or not bootable.
    The best way would be a recovery disk. The installation takes a few minutes and you have a clean installation with all drivers and tools from Toshiba.
    Bye

  • All of a sudden LR5.5 will not import from my Canon Cameras???

    5d MKII, 60D or EOS M... Everything is up to date and it makes no sense to me? Sometimes it will download 2 pics, 5 pics or 7 pics and then freeze... Outcome is always the same. It states it cannot read files. Sometimes it says there are no files and does not display them for import at all. I can use Canon software like EOS Utility and even Windows 7 will import them with no problem. What's the deal with Adobe? I say Adobe in general, because once the issue started with Lightroom I tried using Adobe Bridge, same exact issues. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. I have even installed Lightroom on my laptop and my son's PC with the same results... Any ideas???

    You need to check the 'Write' permissions of the folder you are asking LR to use (or create) in the Import module's 'Destination' right-side panel. Step 1 is to determine WHERE that folder is located (or being created) and then read this LR post on the same subject to properly enable Write permissions:

  • MOV. files will not import from external hard drive to iMac.

    Do I have to convert MOV files somehow to be able to import them into an iMac from an external hard drive?
    The files were moved from MacBookPro to hard drive. They play fine on external hard drive but won't import into iMac which says file format not recognised.

    The file plays on my desktop and from the external hard drive, but I converted one file to an MP4 which then imported to iPhoto. Any recommendations on how to convert to MP4 files in bulk?

  • Imovie HD will not import from my Sony HDV-FX1

    Please Help.
    I have an IMAC G5 running with OS X 10.4.3, and I'm using a new Sony HDR-FX1 camera. The first 3 movies I made worked great, but yesterday I tried importing video and now it won't import or even display. Imovie displays (HD-1080i-30) after the movie title on the top bar, when I plug in my HD camera. I can control the camera with the play, stop, fast forward and rewind buttons, and even though I see the video on my camera it won't import. If I put an old non HD tape into the camera I can get it to import, (after changing the camera settings).
    I've repeatedly tried the Garage band fix, but to no effect. I've also tried my old, non-hd camera, which works fine.
    I also tried resetting my imovie plist as suggested on another post.
    Is Apple acknowledging this problem?

    I figured out what happened,
    I somehow turned the "i.link conv" on my camera to "on(HDV-DV)", when I switched it back to OFF all my problems went away. OOPS!, Sorry!
