Mac crashes while importing / viewing photos in Lightroom

Does any one have any clue as to what might be causing my Mac to crash/stall when I am:
Using Lightoom to import files / viewing the files in library while they download. (It doesn't crash if I just leave it to download and don't view the files).
I'm downloading from high speed Lexar CF cards / using their pro CF card reader (in express port)
I'm working on a Mac Book Pro, running Lion!
Never had this problem when I used same cards / readers under Windows 7 64 bit in Lightroom!

Send the crash log to Adobe. The crash log can be had from the console app, or by looking in your CrashReporter folder in your Library.

  • Mac crashed while I was editing in Lightroom 3.

    My Mac crashed while working photos in Lightroom 3. Just installed 3 days ago. Running Lion. Any idea what the issue could be? I turned it off lastnight. Afraid to turn it back on at this point.

    Hi, Bobby -
    I am not sure of the model but I know it is before the Silver Bullets.
    Let's see if we can narrow it down - the type, and usually the specific model, can be important. These Apple KBase articles can help you identify the model.
    Is it a laptop/portable machine?

    Is it an iMac (monitor is integral with machine)?

  • Aperture crashes while importing from Canon Eos 5D

    as from today aperture crashes while importing RAW pictures directly from my Canon eos 5D. did not have this problem before. after restarting aperture trys to recover the 4 or 5 imported pictures and then crashes again. As i'm on holyday and not having the original aperture DVD i can not reinstall aperture. Using iphoto is no problem, but importing the same pictures from iphoto into aperture results in crashing. anyone knows about this?

    Before 10.5 came out, there were lots of rumors from fairly reliable websites about 10.4.11 imminent releases. In fact, plenty of us were hoping it would come out before 10.5, and with the expanded list of supported RAWs. But it's been over a week since 10.5, and there's no update from any of those rumor sites on 10.4.11. So, who knows...
    I can definitely your frustration. But 10.5 is probably a worthwhile upgrade for most Mac users. Unless there's specific reasons (like there's a software you use that's known to be incompatible), you may want to upgrade now.
    I am very happy with 10.5, and the the 40D RAW files look good on Aperture. No sRAW support though, which you may already know.

  • IPhoto '11 (9.1.5) crashing when importing certain photos

    When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine.  It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
    Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine.  I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash.  The file also opens just fine on Windows.
    Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

  • IPhoto crashed while importing photos

    While importing photos, iPhoto crashed. Now the pictures are damaged. Is there a possibility to regain them or salvage them?

    I recovered the pictures in "Today" but they are damaged. You see the pictures in iPhoto but they are very small and there is no information about the picture availabe (shuttertime, diafragma etc).
    Those are not your photos, only the thumbnails used for display.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Lightroom crashed while dragging a photo in Book module

    I was creating a book in Lightroom 5. While dragging a photo within the book Lightroom quit. An error window popped up and I sent the message per instruction. The message that came back stated Lightroom could not repair the problem. The screen is now blank and showing "Loading" for the past 9 hours.

    Dorin, you are a Lightroom 4 God!  Because I wasn't thinking of the text as a "caption" but rather as text, I never saw that option.  I just tried it and it is fine.  I am not sure if I can play with the dimensions of the box as much as I like, but I could deal with that by how I arrange the type.  Yeah you!
    While I'm typing to you, I have another question:  one of the neat things about the book module is that you can switch into Develop and make a change in the photo and it automatically updates the photo in the book module.  HOWEVER -- what happens if at some time in the future I am working with a photo which is in a book -- and I like the way it is for that book -- and I want to change the photo for another use.  Will that change in the photo change the photo in the book?  If so, is there any way to keep this from happening?  I could see using a photo in a book in black & white, but wanting to use in for a graphic in color.  I'd hate to come back to my book and see that all my work there had been screwed up.
    Thanks,
    P

  • IPhoto crashing while importing photos

    I have a Canon PowerShot SD1200. I've had a couple of minor issues since I got it, just at Christmas, but they seemed to resolve themselves. Now, iPhoto just won't import the photos that are on the camera - it crashes partway through the import process. I've had a couple of other cameras that I haven't had any trouble with. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it!

    Thanks for the tip about Image Capture. I didn't know about it. When I downloaded using it, I discovered that there are some .avi files in there as well, which iPhoto obviously isn't dealing with very well. For some reason, my camera is not showing up as a drive or directory when it's plugged in, so I couldn't tell that before.
    Cannon for some reason chooses not to have their camera mount to the desktop the way that most others do
    I don't know the camera format command, but maybe I don't need it now.
    It is documented in your camera manual and it is a good idea to use it regularly - the best work flow is to use a USB card reader, not ever have Photo delete your photos and after downloading the photos and fully testing them in iPhoto (and I wait for at least one backup cycle) then use the camera to format the card - this deletes the photos and renews the card format
    The next best is to import from the camera and not delete - use the camera format command after testing (and backing up)

  • ITunes crashing while importing from CD

    I am a very new first-time iPod owner and am very frustrated by iTunes crashing with an access violation while importing from CD.
    This has happened with a number of different and brand new CDs and it will import a number of tracks but then falls over. If I try to just import the particular track it will crash again but other tracks are imported OK. However if I drag and drop the same track from a windows explorer view into iTunes it will then import fine without crashing.
    Any suggestions? OS is XP Pro. PC is Athlon 64 Dual Core with 1GB RAM. iTunes v 6.0.1.3
    Peter

    I seem to be having the same problem. I insert the cd and it reads it fine. I click to import and iTunes locks up. I use task manager to close iTunes and system is still bogged down. I have paid several people $$ and they don't seem to know the problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere but where?
    Last person to help suggested that I use WinAmp to rip the cd and THEN import to iTunes.
    Hubby has a Creative Labs MP3 and ripped 100+ cd's prior to iTunes installation with no problem.
    Can anybody out there help?

  • When I import my photos into lightroom 4 they all turn to black and white...what is going on?

    When importing the photos are color...but when I go to the develop module the all start going to black and white...before my eyes!

    sounds like you either got a black and white preset selected in the 'Apply During Import' section of the Import Dialog (over on the right), or you've created a default setting in Develop. For the first, make sure no Develop preset is selected. For the second hold down your Alt key on PC, or Option key on Mac in the Develop Module. The Reset button will turn into 'Set Default...' on the bottom of the right panel. This will open a dialog box. Choose the left button that says 'Restore Adobe Default Settings'.

  • Itunes crashing while importing audiobooks/cd's

    Could someone please advise me as to why my iTunes keeps crashing while I am trying to import either audiobooks or cd's. It gets almost done, and then it just shuts down. This problem has been escalating, as I was able to import 2 or 3 discs at a time then it would crash. I would then come back to it later, and start again. Now, I can't do any at all. Does anyone have any thoughts for me? Please? Thanks in advance.

  • Crashing while importing AAF created in AVid

    I am trying to exchange sequences between AVID MC 5.0 and PP CS5.  I have exported my media from AVid 2 ways:  1) by linking to ("don't export") and 2) by exporting media.  The AAF is created and when I try to import into a new project in PP with the same project settings PP crashes.
    any advice?

    I was able to import an AAF without media attached.  So basically I got
    the timeline to import into Premiere. Maybe you are then supposed to get
    copies of the source files (not the mxf files but the source that
    created the mxf?) and link to the source files?
    I'm having the same problem.  I've tried to export different AAF's from Avid.  Either linked to original location, consolidated to folder or embedded.  Premiere will either crash on import, or import the sequence with audio but all video offline.
    I've been through what I can find of documentation, and there seem to be scant few details about what kind of AAF's Premiere will accept.
    Avid MC v 5.0.3.5, project 25i PAL, media 1:1 MXF
    Premiere 5.0.2
    System:
    Windows 7 x64 Professional
    Dell Precision T7500

  • PremierePro 5.5.2 Mac Crashes While Loading Tiffen Dfx 3

    Anyone using the Tiffen dfX 3.0 filters?
    Since updating to PPro 5.5.2, Premiere crashes while attempting to load the Tiffen filters. Updated to Tiffen's most recent release 3.0.4.1 but crashes whenever I attempt to launch PPro.

    Tiffen has just released v 3.05 of DFx and that fixes all crashing issues!
