LR3.6 Can't import all photos from a folder. Only 'sees' ~1800 of 2267. Help?

I exported 2267 images from Aperture to an external drive in original format with original filenames. I tried to import them into LR3.6 and it will only recognize about 1800 of them. Files consist of RAW files and Jpg and maybe a few Tiffs. RAW files are from a Canon 10D, Nikon D60, and a Nikon D3s . . . from what I can tell, it doesn't categorically exclude any of these. I'm using a quad-core 27" iMac. When I imported the files into another Aperture Library on another computer, it recognized all the files. I use LR for most of my stuff and Aperture for the "family album".
I can't figure out why LR doesn't see/import all the files.
Help?
Thanks.

I never completed an initial import. When I was at the import dialog, I noticed the discrepancy in file count and chose to cancel. Then I tried a few things to see if I could see what the problem was, but each time the file count was wrong so I just canceled out of the import dialog again. Once I made the preference change recommended by Lee Jay, the file count matched and I completed the import.

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data

But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

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

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

How can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

Hi there,
I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
Cheers.

What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

Can't download all photos from phone to mac, should I turn off photo stream?

I took my mac air, iPhone 5, iPad 2 into the Apple store last week. We set up Photo Stream. Now I can't get all photos off my phone so that I can share them on FB. I can see them in the phone but they are only on laptop in the Stream not on hard drive

Make sure you have the iPhoto/Photo Stream preferences set to import all PS photos:
Be aware that many users are having problems with uploading photos to Facebook from inside iPhoto on their Macs. The workaround is to export the photos to the Desktop and upload them to FB with your browser.

How can I consolidate all photos from different users on one computer?

We just enable one computer to be the "Family" computer. I want to be able to consolidate all photos from the different users into one location. That way no matter wich user is login they can see and browse all the family photos. How can I do that? Do I need and external drive?
Thanks in advance?
MoMa

Move the iPhoto Library to the Users/Shared folder, or you can use an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Merge the Libraries as Larry says, with the paid version of Library Manager.
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Each account will have full access to the library, in fact, each account will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Can I import catalog photos from a usb drive?

I have imported photos from a catalog into a new catalog. Some of the photos in the catalog are located on a remote drive. The drive is not listed when I select the photos to be imported. Is it possible to import catalog photos from a usb drive?
Howie

Hi Keith,
"Import from another catalog" is a selection found in the Lightroom "File" drop down listing. Sorry I wasn't clear in my reguest. I have used this function to import photos in to my new Catalog from my old Catalog. During the import process, Lightroom creates a working catalog from which photos can be selected. A file list on the left side of the window displays the available hard drive folders. Once the photos to be extracted are selected the source folder is checked. The import button, on the bottom right of the window, is highlited to execute the import function. Since the external USB hard drive is not listed, the import function is not available.
My question: how do I enable the import from my USB drive? Perhaps I will have to move the files back onto my internal hard drive using my Lightroom's old catalog.
