LR4 - 'LR/Enfuse' Photos Won't Re-Import

Does anybody have a solution for getting 'LR/Enfuse' to re-import an image after blending?
I get the following error message:
AgImportSession.addOnePhotoToLibrary: failed to import photo to library
I checked the reimport option, added an appended file name, optimised the catalogue & re-installed the software.
The only way I can work around this is to go to it's prime source folder destination in ViewNX, rename it (because LR thinks it's already in the catalogue by detecting it's original file name prefix, even though appended), import it back to LR and manually relocate it beside the original source images from which it was blended. This is obviously too long-winded.
There's nothing covering this issue amongst the Enfuse websites FAQs (the page of which is almost 4 years out of date) & their website has no contact email address I can see.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have the files or SD card ever been used in Nikon Transfer or other Nikon software? There is a known issue where the files from the D7100 are used in older versions of Nikon Transfer that shipped with an earlier camera model.
I have no problem importing into LR4.4 (see image below) but I first copied the file to a folder on my hard drive and in LR used Import >> Add
You could try shooting a fresh NEF and copying straight to the hard drive to see if that makes any difference.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

Photos won't import

Connected my iphone to sycnronize with itunes.
itunes/iphone did not recongnize device
Opened up image capture. Unplugged phone and re-plugged it and then device showed up in image capture.
Attemped to go through the process to pull photos off phone and import into iphoto.
iphoto pulled all photos successfully - I clicked "delete photos" from device after import. Photos sucessfuly deleted from phone.
Closed image capture
When back into iPhoto. When I clicked on "import photos" it would bounce to the "last import" screen and then an error message popped up that said jpg file is unrecgonizable. I tried several times. Even tried deleting photos that it highlighted as unrecognizable to no avail. Finally go frustrated and disconnected device and now the photos are gone. :-(
Are they gone gone? It looks like icloud did a back-up last night. If I restore my phone to the back-up on icloud will the pictures come back to camera roll?
How do I get them to import correctly?
I'm sick over this! Thanks!

Can you drag them to the Clips Pane? Sometimes the Timeline is fussy and won't import, but the Clips Pane should.
Are they accessible from the Media Pane in iMovie?
Do the photos function correctly inside iPhoto? Specifically, can you view them at full size, and will they open for editing?

Iphone photos won't import

this has been a problem with two differenent iphones i've owned - i have about 4,400 photos on my iphone, but only about 1,600 will import to my iMac through BOTH iphoto and image capture. all i want is every single photo on my iphone to be backed up as a usable .jpg in it's original file size on my iMac - why does this seem to be impossible for me? i've scoured forums for a similar problem, but have not found myself a fix. in iphoto - the import stalls out at around 2,800 count and just sits there - so alas i only get about 1/3 of my photos.
in image capture, it goes through all the photos and imports "what it wants" i guess, skipping huge chunks of photos, about the same amount as iphoto. i'm beginning to think something is corrupted, or perhaps there is a specific photo or vid that is crashing both applications - if i only get a similar count of photos from two different imports. HELP!!!!

Try transferring them wirelessly with an app like PhotoSync. I haven't noticed any reduction in image size with photos taken on the 4S.

Certain photos won't import into catalog...

When I attempted to import about 650 photos from an 8GB CF card, the last 100 photos failed to import. I received a catalog error and LR was forced to restart. However, even after the catalog was fixed and I resumed the importing process, the same 100-photo segment failed to import without a catalog error.
I then decided to create a new catalog and import the photos here (while copying the RAWs to my computer). This worked. I tested the new catalog for integrity and usability, and it was fine. However, when I tried to merge the new catalog with my main catalog, I received the same catalog error.
I'm not sure what the issue it. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with an issue with copying the RAWs to directory in my main catalog, but I'm not sure. This still makes no sense to me. At the moment, I'm working on those 100 photos separately with no problems, but would really like to incorporate them into my main catalog for archival purposes.

Is your catalog 2GB and on a FAT32 volume, where 2GB is the maximum file-size?
Can you import anything else into this catalog, such as JPGs or other new test RAWs?

Ipad photos won't go away, help!

There's an album on my ipad in the photo library that just won't go away! I can't delete the album or any pictures in it. The album or photos won't show on iTunes, iPhoto, or Image Capture. I think it was imported from my laptop a long time ago with iTunes. I'm trying to move the album to my macbook air, but would settle for just deleting it from my ipad, it's taking so much space.
Appreciate the help!

Remove them the very same way you put them there. Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. When your iPad is recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen, click it once to open it. Click on Photos in the bar above on the right side of the iTunes screen. Uncheck the photos you want to delete, then click Apply on the lower right hand corner of iTunes.

After installing new HDD, some iPhoto Events/Photos won't display

Problem: I upgraded to 1TB HDD a couple of days ago and tried to use the System Restore from Backup under Disk Utility. It never worked, got to a blue screen and just hung. So I reloaded Snow Leopard and then used Setup Assistant to move Apps/Files/Settings from my Time Machine Backup.
Today I was going through files to see if anything was missing and found a number of Events from 2010 that wouldn't display in iPhoto '08, just dark squares but with the event name underneath.
Rolling the mouse over the empty square displayed the correct number of photos for the event but photos wouldn't display.
Next I "Browsed" the Time Machine Backup (from iPhoto) and the same Events were also empty on Time Machine Backups.
The funny thing is the empty events are scattered meaning I have a full Events from Feb and March 2010 but empty events from Jan, Feb and May 2010. And then when I go into the Empty Events on Time Machine, I can call up the photo number but the photo won't display.
Is there a way to recover these photos? I'm pretty sure there on the TM backup and also on my new HDD.
As a "suspenders/belt" type person, I have the photos backed up on a Windows PC but rather work through this problem first.

You can enter TM while in iPhoto and do a search for some of the missing photos by file name. When you find a version that appears to have them in exit TM, go to your Pictures folder, reenter TM, go to that version and restore the entire library. I'd keep both your current library and the restored. Then you can check to see if the missing photos are in the restored library.
If neither library have all of the photos but do combined you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new 3rd library setting the option to not import duplicates. That should get you a complete library.

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.
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.

Thumbnail is fine, but photo won't open

On my first gen iPhone, with the latest firmware update, 2.x.x, I have the following problem.
A percentage of my photos won't open. All of the thumbnails are fine. But when I open the photo to full screen, I just get a black screen. I can select to go to the next or previous photo, but only some of them will view full screen, the rest are black. The ones I take with the camera all will open. Its just the ones that I import from iTunes/iPhoto. I also have an iPod classic, and all of these photos open fine on it. So not sure what the problem is.

Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps.

How do i delete photos which were being imported and are now stored in a folder which i can't access

how do i delete photos which were being imported and are now stored in a folder which i can't access

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Photos won't drop on Drop zones

Photos won't drop on drop zones anymore. I can see the photos in the media browser, but they won't drop where I send them. I had to re-organize my iphoto library a bit, but all the photos are seen and work fine in iphoto, just won't drop into drop zones in idvd 6. A very few photos will work. Is there some re-initializing the library I need to do or something?

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:

TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
IPhoto and Aperture support - or don't - the same cameras.

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?

OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
Gone from the Album:
Gone from the Library:
In the Trash:
Whaddup with that?
