LR 4.3 - import photos, change names, then new pics not recognized

example:
new card, 100 photos taken, imported w/ name changes to LR catalog, all is well. Then, another 100 photos taken, and when import attempted, the prog "sees" 200 photos as new, not the actual 100 new photos on the card. Yes, the buttom is checked to avoid duplicates.
Any ideas?

YES!!! That was it! Holy moly, you know your stuff. Thank you SO MUCH!

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!

My MacBook Pro will not allow me to shut down it says it is still importing photos into iPhoto it also will not quit

My MacBook Pro will not allow me to shut down my computer. Their seems to be a glitch in the iPhotos. It says it is still importing photos into iPhoto. It will not allow me to quit either.

You could always hold down the power button to force the MacBook to turn off. This is usually a last resort step though, but if nothing else is working and you are sure it isn't importing photos then you might consider it.

I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix?

I imported photos as cat to new hard drive. Using "find" lightroom 5 can't see any photos that are PSD, how can I fix? I can see them in the folder using windows explorer.

Wojtek

Hi Wojtek
I just wanted to know if you found a solution for part (1). I just recently encountered the problem where:
"when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady) "
However all my reports are run from the most recent data. The rsReportNotReady message appears in Report Manager but not the Report Server interface; the latter is able to render the reports.   But both have incorrectly displayed textbox inputs.
Thanks

The user or group name 'BUILTIN\BUILTIN' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)

Hi,
I am facing this issue, it seems very strange that I am getting this on the SCSM SSRS, I am unable to provide permission to any of my user to view and generate the reports. below is the error please help.
The user or group name 'BUILTIN\BUILTIN' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)
I am getting this error when ever I am trying to edit existing user or assign a permission to any new user.
Regards

BR, Phaixan

Hello,
Based on the error message, it seems that you want to grant premission to a windows user or group on Report Server.
If it is domain user or group, you should add with this format: <domain>\<account>. If it is local windows user or group, you should add with this format :<servername>\<account> or just <account>.
Just as TenPart post above, please verify the account <BUILTIN> exists.

Exporting then Importing Photos changes the dates in iPhoto...

Hello,
I am exporting photos into the Watermark Sense App from iPhoto. Once watermarked, when I import them back into iPhoto the date has automatically been changed by a year and a day.
Why?
Is this an iPhoto issue, or an application issue?
Thanks in advance,
Karen

I "add images" into Watermark Sense. Watermark them. Press "Save", then "add to iPhoto"
Once they have imported back into iPhoto, the year and day has changed.
Sorry but this is what you need to explain
Exactly how are you "adding images" to WMS?
And how are you "Importing"them to iPhoto - saving and adding to iPhoto is not definative
Are you directly accessing the contents of the iphoto library either to get photos or put them back is not supported and could be yoru problem if that is what you are doing
Download simple EXIF viewer - export a photo to the desktop from iPhoto - view the dates using Simple EXIF viewer - add that photo to WMS - do its thing and save the photo back to the desktop - view the datea again - and import that photo to iPhoto - this will identify either the proper way to do this or will tell you where the problem occures

Imported photos, deleted originals, then iphoto crashed and lost everything

I imported photos from my iphone, deleted the originals (i never do this, but figured, it's a new year so i should start cleaning up my phone!), and then iphoto crashed and now the photos i imported are nowhere to be found! help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's still a good chance that the photos are in the library but just not being recognized by iPhoto. Backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Import photos-choose folder then Lightroom freezes

Everything was working fine until I decided to upgrade to 1.3.1. Did so and then when I wanted to (during import) choose a folder for my import the program freezes. I uninstalled to 1.3. Still same problem. Then I uninstalled everything with Lightroom (even regedit) so I had to rewrite my serialnumber during install - still the same problem. What has happened?

Thanks for the input. I think though that the problem was the following: I had started a backup of catalog thing. It might be so that it wasn´t ready (even if I thought so) before I started to upgrade to 1.3.1. So the upgrade messed around with something. Now it works, but I had to change several times in the Import Photos "screen". Change between the different possibilities and different files to import. (Chant some old shaman songs not to mention to recite the Kirchoff´s Laws was something that I did in the end - I think that actually did the trick).
But it could of course be something completely different.

Problem with importing photos to MBP: The new event shows up at the beginning of Events rather than at the end

When I imported photos on my older Mac computers G4 and G5), the new event would show up as the last event in EVENTS. With my new MBP, the new event shows up consistently at the beginning of EVENTS (actually as the second event), and it is a big inconvenience to have to drag it to the end (through some 500 events). How can I change this? Thank you for your help!

If you have the sort set to manual then you must manually sort the events as you choose - there is no "sort manually the way I am thinking" setting - manual is manual - and for what ever reason with the current version of iphoto second from the top is where events start for you to then manually put where you want
BTW - events are a poor choice for organizing photos and extremely inflexible (as you are seeing) - albums and folder are much more powerful and flexible and are the better way to organize photos

Help with importing photos from camera if some pics were imported earlier

I am trying to import photos from my digital camera into iphoto and there are some old photos on my camera already. When the prompt screen tells me that there is a repeat photo, I clicked on do not import it for all such photos option. After that the screen tells me that the photos are being imported, but nothing happens. I am very furstrated, is there anything I can do? I have iphoto 6 version. Thanks!

I believe with iPhoto 6 if you upload the photos to a folder first and then import that folder into iPhoto 6 you will be given the opportunity to exclude duplicates. The import has to be from the Finder and not directly from the camera. You can test that by importing a single photo that is already in the library from the Desktop. If I'm wrong this post will self destruct 10 seconds after and all here will disavow any knowledge of me.

Why my iphoto can't import photo after i upgrade new solfwere

HT1229 an error message while trying to import photos to IPhoto saying there is not enough room.

I have an IMac with a SS drive and a regular hard drive (1 TB). I'm starting to get an error message when importing photos to Iphoto that says there's not enough room on the hard drive. The SS drive says it has only 1 GB left on it, so obviously, somehow the setup is that the Iphoto library is on THAT hard drive and not on the regular one. How do I find the right "library" and how do I move it and where?
Thanks.

The only way I could fix this was to dowload a free program called iFunBox. Once you've installed that and have it open on OSX, plug in your idevice/ iPhone etc (note: you may need to close any other Application that auto-accesses the device, like iTunes, iPhoto or image capture), then from the left side panel in iFunBox navigate to "Raw file system" then go to the following folder:
>DCIM>100Apple
...then browse to the video/ image(s) required and drag them to the folder you wish to go on your Mac.
This worked for me first time.
Good luck.

When I am importing photos from DVD rom, iPhoto shows " not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library", but i have over 200G free in hard drive? how do i fix it?

Mac Pro Book
Mac OS X 10.7.5
iPhoto 11 9.4.2
importing photos into iphoto, shows "Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
tried creat new library, same thing.
currently only has 2,500 photos in iPhoto
Importing about 500 photos, but cant do it due to the message showed above.
Who knows how to fix it?

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Trouble importing photos to DROBO on new iMac-painfully slow

I have been using LR without trouble for years. After switching from my old MacbookPro to a new iMac, I am unable to import photos. The trouble coincides with the move to the new computer.
LR recognizes the photos when I insert the CF card. I am able to start the import, but the import is ridiculously slow (20 raw images in an hour). I have backed up my catalogue and optimized the catalogue. When this failed to help, I trashed LR (by dragging application to trash) and reinstalled it.
I AM able to import onto my Hard Drive. But not to the DROBO where my LR library is contained.
Also, LR is no longer able to distiguish between new photos and photos already in catalogue. And at times I get a message saying that LR cannot open my catalogue. Rebooting the computer fixes this, but it is a troubling message.
Thank you for your help.

Check the Drobo support pages and third-party sites. The Drobo is infamous for being desperately slow under some circumstances and for some apps. It also appears that the app is having trouble locking the Lr catalogue database on the Drobo device, which is why you are getting errors opening up the app sometimes.
It really sounds like you have some config problems you need to sort out. Start from the basics: how is the Drobo storage physically accessed by the iMac, and what protocol is it using to get the storage to show up in /Volumes/?
Make sure the Drobo firmware is up-to-date, and check the iMac logs (and the Drobo logs, if it has such a thing) to see if there is anything out of the ordinary there. You may also want to verify that the cables and connectors you use to get from the iMac to the Drobo are sound. Swap cables if you have to, just to rule that out. If you are using Firewire or USB, make sure the cables are rated for the highest speed each devices supports, and that you are not going through any dodgy hubs.
Because it sounds like it is sustained bulk transfers that are suffering; typically this indicates that one device or another in the chain is slowing the traffic down in order to satisfy a basic data safety requirement.
