Lr not importing all photos from external HD, but can see them in Bridge

Just signed up to Lr & Ps on CC. I imported my photos into Lr from an external HD (my backup) but not all the photos showed up in Lr. However, I can access them in Bridge and open them in Ps. Whats wrong?

Hi, thanks for your help. Im really stumped. Yes all the file handling and destination folders are showing. I am using lightroom 4.4, its updated. i used it a few days ago with no problem. Basically i do my usually and upload and click import. During import, the white bar goes very fats and no imported preview images pop up. And it almost freezes like- saying copy and import photos in the upper left corner. On the main screen it just continues to say importing files. I have tried several cards and two different usb cords. Nothing so far and I have been trying for the last three hours, while reading forums.
thanks again for your help!!

Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still, like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about 9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos. copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

Lightroom not importing all photos from the SD card

I have been using light room for a month now, importing photos from my Nikon's SD Card. All was going well until today. At first it seemed like lightroom could only see the first 144 photos (up to DSC_0217) as that was all that showed in the lightroom Library for last import. But when I looked in the Hard Drive and today's folder I could see all the photos (an additional 70 or so) had been imported to the hard disk. I tried moving the missing ones to a new hard disk folder - then an import from that folder, but light room thinks they are already imported.
Any ideas where they may be? I attach a screen shot - but doubt it will help?!?

LOL - 353 photos, thats the 140 or so from today and all my others. Then I see that the sort order is date stamp, and my missing photos are out of sequence. If I sort by filename then I get what I expected to see ... my new photos at the bottom! Looks like something happened in the EXIF data as the time stamp should be sequential with the the filename! No worries, thanks for making me see the big picture

Lightroom 4.1 not importing all photos from canon 7d

Upgrades to Lightroom 4.1 last weekend.
Imported first photographs directly from Canon 7d (2.03 firmware) copy as dng files through normal import process, and lightroom 4.1 fails to recognise approx 20-30% of the photos. (question mark in corner file location missing)
This has happened three times, Thought it might be a card format problem, but then opened lightroom 3.6 which is still installed on my computer, conected the camera and all files imported directly from camera into lightroom just as they alwways have.
So whats the glitch?
Neil

Rikk,
Thanks for the reply,
yes I have tried with a card reader and have had some mixed results, but always when I go back to lightroom 3 all the photos are seen and imported.
I reinstalled LR4 yesterday, upgraded to v4.3.
I have set up a new catalogue with none of my historic photo's, I will archive those in LR 3.6.
Have re-installed the latest firmware for the canon 7d,
Took some test photo's connected camera via usb, had to manually select import, the 7d was listed, then imported pics, no problem this time, need to see if this is consistent. Did the same with the Fuji xe1 and all 12 pics loaded.
Will try tomorrow with significantly more pictures from both cameras.
I wonder if there is any issue associated with importing the old catalogue from 3.6 and upgrading in LR4?
Enjoy New year,
Neil

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Itunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

why is iTunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

Not at this time. There is no connection between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad
Maybe in a future release
Suggest to Apple. IPhoto menu =>> provide iPhoto feedback

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

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?

If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

I don't think so, I think it stores them on the cloud. I just did a test on my own iPad and although I deleted the source image in the Photos app the image remains in the Photo Stream

I can't figure out how to transfer my albums on my iphone to photo stream so that I can see them on my apple computer. It did not automatically sync.

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

Iphoto does not import all items from camera

I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hi imac2,
I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.
