LR 4 suddenly no longer recognizes files.

My LR 4 suddenly no longer recognized my memory cards. I am using the same cards and cameras but consisitently get the error message:"files not imported because the files could not be read. they are jpg and nef files...I am stuck without my workhorse! Any advice is helpful. This has never happened in 6 years

This error message means you don't have write permission to the destination folder (the folder where the files are going to be copied to). One reason this happens is that the folder has accidentally been changed in the Lightroom Import dialog box. Please check to see if the specified folder (perhaps different than the folder you had previously used) has WRITE permission and if not, change the permissions.

  • IMac, suddenly, no longer recognizes Cannon PowerShot SD750

    For some odd reason my mac no longer recognizes my camera. It worked fine a week ago but when I plugged it in today, iPhoto doesn't automatically open and it doesn't even show up on my desktop. The only place where I can find it is in the system profiler, under the USB section. I tried repairing the permissions and restarting my mac and formatting the card in the digital camera but, so far, no success. All that happens when I plug the camera in is that the last photo viewed on the camera shows up on the camera's lcd display. This is pretty frustrating and any help would be highly appreciated.

    I'm not sure that iPhoto's the problem - after all, Image Capture doesn't see the camera either, right?
    However, to re-install iPhoto
    First: *Back Up Your Library*
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

  • RoboHelp suddenly no longer recognizes project images

    I am having major problems with project images, and am unable
    to find a workaround. The images are initailly recognized by
    RoboHelp, then mysteriously become urecognized. I reinserted all of
    the images, all was well for a while, and then the project
    suddently does not reconize them again. It just happend for a third
    time.
    I have read through many posts describing problems users have
    with images, but it did not help my situation:
    -- I understand that there is inconsistent behavior in
    RoboHelp if images are pasted into topics rather than via the
    <b>Insert > Image</b> menu item. I am inserting them
    via Insert > Image menu.
    -- I also read that there can be display issues based on the
    tool that was used to capture an image. I use SnagIT version 8 for
    all captures. My issue is not with display, but of "some" of the
    files disappearing from the project list.
    -- I also read some posts suggesting that all images be
    placed in the project root to avoid porblems. That is not a viable
    solution for me -- it is a very large project with several hundred
    images -- I could not effectively manage the images if I could not
    organize them in folders.
    Here is what I am seing:
    -- After I insert the images (using Insert > Image) the
    names of the images appear in the topics and are listed in the
    Project View OK.
    -- I continue with general project development, and
    periodically generate output and run reports to check for project
    health, including Missing References and Unused Files. I notice
    that some of the images that were previously OK show up in the
    Unused File report.. I then look in the Project tab, and see that
    the Unused images are no longer included in the tree.
    -- I then open the topics and see that the images are still
    there in the topics, and I can see them in WYIWYG and in preview
    mode.
    -- I re-insert and the cycle repeats.
    I am totally stuck and am continuously losing work.
    I would very much appreciate help resolving this isue.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Rick.
    How can I recreate the CPD file? Do they often become
    corrupt?
    I just dicovered something this makes this problem even
    weirder, and further makes it seem like corruption...
    I copied the entire project structure to another directory,
    opened it in RoboHelp, and did a project rename. (Hoping this would
    perhaps 'clear' the project corruption.) I then ran the Unused
    Files report, and got a totally different result than when I run
    the report in the original. Actually, even more files appear on the
    report in the renamed project. Then, I had someone else open the
    project, and they see different results when they run the report
    from their machine.

  • Help! My T61 suddenly no longer recognizes my DVD-RAM drive!

    Today I tried to retrieve some photos from a DVD and then a CD placed into my T61s DVD RAM (Mat**bleep**a UJ-852 ATA) ... and the drive was not recognized by the system.  It was not displayed in the "My Computer" listing.  The drive powered up whenever I insert a disk, but nothing else happened. 
    The device properties box says:
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    "Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
    But when I check, the system replies came back that the proper driver was already installed ... and that there was nothing else out there that was a "solution". 
    What can solve this sudden problem?
    Many thanks,
    -- Mike in San Jose

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!  A variation of the latter seems to have worked and restored the DVD-RAM to proper working order:
    1) Disable drive
    2) Uninstall drive
    3) Remove drive
    4) Shutdown
    5) Restart
    6) Insert drive ... system recognized the drive, loaded the drivers and operation has been normal.
    Thanks for the tip. (I had disabled and removed/inserted it before, with no success.  But until reading your note, I did not have a shutdown/restart in between.)

  • After upgrading to mountain lion aperture 3.3 no longer recognizes DNG files.  Is this going to get fixed?

    After upgrading to aperture 3.3 on mountain lion aperture no longer recognizes DNG files. 
    I have many DNG files already in my library.  Aperture shows the thumbnail and will briefly flash what I think is the preview of the file but quickly changes to a gray triangle saying "unsupported image format".  After which the thumbnail is replaced with an all black thumbnail.
    Needless to say this is extremely disconcerting.  I am concerned that aperture is not only refusing to display the existing DNG files but is also simultaneously corrupting the library and destroying my existing images.
    fwiw, these DNG files were generated with a leica.
    I have not attempted to import DNG images into my aperture library but I assume that would not go well.

    Susan,
    if it is the native raw format, that no longer is recognized, then try, if registering the CoreTypes.bundle with the OS again will help. This will tell MacOS which raw format types (and other media types) are supported.
    Open a Terminal window and paste following line into the window, hit return. This is one very long line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S: Some browsers cause a blank to be inserted between /Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions
    But it is "LaunchServices.framework", without blank. All in one line - the only blanks are needed between "lsregister" and "-R" and after "-R" .

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • Media Encoder suddenly won't recognize Quicktime files...

    Hi there...
    I'm on a Mac, and out of the blue, Media Encoder suddenly doesn't recognize Quicktime .mov files.  It says this file format is not supported.  Which is weird, because it was supporting it just fine this morning!  Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix this?

  • Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files / won't open jpg files because of "missing marker segment"

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 2013 iMac with OSX version 10.9.2.
    1) As of today, Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files. This has never happened before, and the files are coming from the same camera I've used for the past five years.
    2) I receive the following message when I attempt to open a .jpg file "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
    This is also the first time this has happened, and happens with EVERY .jpg file I attempt to open.
    3) Both of these errors ONLY happen when I am opening files located on the work server. I hit COMMAND K to connect to serveral work servers -- my work space, shared collaboration folder, and an image archive that was recently moved. If I grab the file that I want and transfer it to my desktop, and open it with Photoshop from there, it works fine.
    I have run all updates.
    I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue (with regard to accessing the work servers) or a Photoshop issue.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Photoshop does "play nice" over networks, but seems to catch more OS and server bugs than other applications (mostly because we've added more error detection code over the years after dealing with many OS and server problems).

  • IPhoto 08 no longer recognizes my pictures!

    Recently, when I opened IPhoto 08, it gave me a message that I needed to upgrade my thumbnails (I do not remember what the exact message was). I clicked OK. Ever since, IPhoto no longer recognizes my pictures. It is as if they are completely gone. Thankfully, that isn't the case (they still come up when my screen saver kicks in).
    I tried reinstalling ILife 08 but that didn't have any effect. I thought about reverting back to my previous version and re-upgrading, but I wanted to check here first.
    Quick responses would be appreciated - I really need access to my pictures!

    Angella:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're experiencing a damaged database file. Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - 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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    To recover a little easier from similar damage see the tip at the end of my signature below.
    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) 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.
    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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I'd love some help trying to figure out why my 2008 MacBook no longer recognizes my external drive and now is not downloading photos from my iphone....?

    After many years of having no problems at all on my Macbook, I recently figured I should finally upgrade my OS. I did that about three weeks ago, updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I used Time Machine at least once after the OS upgrade but now Time Machine no longer recognizes the external drive I have used for all these years to back up. The MacBook does not "see" it. (Disk Utility does however.) The computer then also stopped recognizing another La Cie back-up that I have and now... my iPhone cannot download photos? Yikes.
    I have, of course, shut down numerous times, used different cables (that worked for some) and the two USB drives. I even used a firewire. Nothing worked. I also tried to "Repair disk" on Disk Utility. It didn't work either, giving me an error (that I didn't save, sorry).
    I read many other discussions on the file format of the external drive and of course I'd be happy to reformat the external drives--however, it is obviously a tad nerve-wracking to reformat drives before having an accessible back-up. Suggestions? I do not remember what file format they have but am pretty sure it's not the Mac file system someone mentioned. The drives are a 2009 WD "My Passport Elite" and La Cie 2007 d2 Quadra,
    In terms of other hardware available, we do have another MacBook Air but it has  started rejecting both drives as well (without the Snow Leopard upgrade). We have an old Dell but it wouldn't have the disk space to help out much.
    Any thoughts on the process involved would be welcome.  Any ideas on the iPhone rejection would be helpful as well! It is a 30gig iPhone 4 that has 20 or so gigs free (not clear as iTunes says that there are abour 18 Gigs on the phone but 24 free gigs? I may be bad at math but that's 40 gigs...).
    I am checking out iCloud but apparently there are only 55 gigs available?
    Will be glad to hear any thoughts. Thanks!

    Good afternoon Lyssa,
    Phew. First of all, thanks in advance...these blogs are always comforting help!
    So, to answer your questions: For the age of the hard drive.Well, I added memory a couple of years ago (RAM and hard drive). Being a mom leads me to eat up a fair amount of gigs with photos of my kids and, in fact, I think I entirely replaced the original drive, so it is a couple years younger than 2008 since I did that in March 2010. If there is some way to verify that (whether or not I replaced the entire drive), I'm all ears. I have 311 Gigs free, so it is not a space issue. I verified the startup disk on Disk Utilityand nothing showed up.
    Question 1- What formats...
    The La Cie is format Windows NT Filesystem 3G ....At the time that I bought it I was still using a PC as well as a Mac and was told by afriend to use this format...
    The WD is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I again tried to repair the WD last night and this is the error message: "Error: DiskUtility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    Also, Time Machine tried again to back-up and gave  me this error: "Files can't becopied onto the backup disk because it appears to be 'read only'. You may needto repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can't berepaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machinepreferences to select a different backup disk."
    Question 2. Other cables...
    I used two other cables with the WD and that didn't change anything.  
    Question 3... Fire Wire from the La Cie
    Yes, I used the Firewire cable from the La Cie and it is indeed present, though still not visible in Finder. Since it is not Mac OSExtended I know that I can't use Time Machine with it.  
    So, in summary...
    I can plug in the La Cie and it is functional on the MacBook, visible on Disk Utility but not visible in Finder. The WD drive is not visible and not functional. So we can think it is indeed the WD that is not working.... Also, the iphone photos did, in the end, get downloaded, so it is not something more general.
    Causes...
    I forgot to mention that there is a "lost+found" file on the WD which apparently points to a UNIX /OS issue?   
    Some kind of "insurance"?....
    I'm curious about how people avoid this kind of issue. You just regularly replace back-up drives and hard drives before problems come up? Time Machine is great and saves many of us from disasters, however, knowing that your Time Machine back-ups are vulnerable makes the whole system insecure. No way to have alarms ring before the drive goes out?   
    As for ways ahead...
    It seems that I ought to be able to copy off of the WD to the MacBook then erase it and reformat it and start over again. However, I haven’t been able to see its contents except on random occasions. If you have any ideas on how to copy the Time Machineback-ups from the WD, again, I'm all ears!

  • Macbook pro no longer recognizes external hard drive

    Hi everyone,
    My Macbook Pro (2013) running OS X 10.8.5 will no longer recognize my external hard drive.
    The hard drive, a Maxtor OneTouch 4, is granted quite old (c. 5 years) but has been working fine with my Macbook pro since I bought it 2 years ago. It is too full to do time machine backups but I just need to get some files off of it. It doesn't appear in Finder or in Disk Utility when connected and turned on.
    Since it's only stopped working recently I suspect some software update may have rendered it obsolete. I have also noticed some glitchiness with my USB ports, but some things work fine.
    If anyone has any suggestions of what to try, I would really appreciate it! I really need to access those files.
    Thanks very much in advance!
