No images will import from my camera card into Lightroom 3.  Shooting with a Nikon D700 and using a MacBook Pro.  Used to work perfectly

Any thoughts?  I can use Camera Raw, but miss LR.

The D700 requires at least Lightroom 4.6. I believe you are mistaken if you thought you could import them into Lightroom 3 because it never included support for that camera.

    There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
    When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
    If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

    Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
    Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
    Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
    Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
    If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
    Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
    Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
    Highlight your card.
    Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
    Then start the import.

  • Suddenly iphoto freezes and stops responding when I connect my cameras to download both photos and video.  I've never had a problem downloading from these cameras before today. I have both a Nikon D700(SLR) and Kodak HD Zi8(pocket camecorder).What to do?

    I've tried checking for updates (none necessary), running v 9.1.5
    Everytime I open it and connect a camera I have to force quit because it stops responding and won't upload.
    It's uploaded from both these cameras before with no problem.
    How can I fix this?

    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?

  • Will we ever be able to import RAW files from iPad camera roll into Lightroom Mobile?

    Is this a planned feature, or should I look elsewhere for iPad photo editing?
    I only shoot in RAW and I would sometimes like to do a quick edit in the field. As it stands, Lightroom Mobile is a completely useless application for me. Needing to import the photos to my Macbook in order to use a dumbed-down version of Lightroom makes no sense to me. Why do I need Lightroom Mobile if I need to have my computer with me to use it anyways?
    Without this feature, I don't quite understand what Lightroom Mobile is supposed to accomplish. Is it purely for people who only own a desktop and need to perform basic edits on the go? Is that a large enough demographic to develop an entire app? Even if it is meant for only those people, it would still likely be far more useful to them if they could import RAW photos in the field and not have to stop by their studio/home to import and move into a collection first.

    The likely real reason why Adobe doesn't do this yet even though many people have requested it is that it would cost them dearly in bandwidth and storage capacities. Right now only smallish lossy compressed, downscaled dngs or simple jpegs travel to and from Adobe's servers which is tenable. Sending full raw files from 24+ MP cameras is probably not something they can realistically do yet. Having the iPad try to generate the lossy dng will likely show how very low powered they are in comparison to a simple laptop and is likely not yet a realistic solution so you'd still have to send the file online and have the dng generated by a server.
    I use the mobile thing for simple iPad slideshows and simple portfolios. The color is really good as the current generation of iPad screens is very well done with close to sRGB gamut. I'll sometimes do some simple edits but it is really not very useful for that yet. It shows promise but is not useful as a laptop replacement yet on trips. You're better off getting a lightweight laptop (many cheapo ultralight windows ones out there nowadays and the MacBook Airs are great for this) and running the full Lightroom on that if you are traveling.

  • Will videos from the SD card be copied to the camera roll

    Will videos from the SD card be copied to the camera roll. I am using the iPad SD card reader, will the videos be copied to the iPad Camera roll

    Yes. You do want to read the manual though, and make sure your camera is shooting a video type that the iPad will play. I know I can with my canon camera, but I know others have had problems.
    What you'll do is import the videos onto your ipad, then when you tap on them to play them it opens the video app and they play

  • I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

    I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

    More info please:
    Type of camera?
    Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
    Type of files the camera is set to record?

  • Aperture only imports some of photos from my camera card.

    When I put my camera card into my iMac and it opens Aperture only some o f the photos are set to import and the wheel spins endlessly.  I have to manually import from the desktop to get it to work. This happens with all of my cards. Any solutions? I've been assuming that it's something to do with Yosemite. Sometimes it does import them all but more often it doesn't.  Ron

    Did iPhoto launch? Check iPhoto and see if they in there.
    Did you put it on the right side of the dock where the stacks are? Check in Documents.
    A folder with a question mark usually means the dock item is no longer connected to an application.

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Problems importing from Compact Flash cards shot on Canon 5D Mark ll

    On my first attempt at importing footage from the Canon 5D Mark ll, but I've not been able to do so. I'm using FCP 7 and I downloaded the Canon Log & Transfer plug-in. I followed the instructions on Canon's website exactly, but when I get to the stage where I need to pick a preference and try to pick 'Canon EOS,' when I click 'OK,' nothing happens. The clips just don't show up.
    I know the clips are there as I can view them on the 5D and I was able to import them automatically into Aperture. However, I don't know how to do the necessary transcoding once they're imported into Aperture instead of FCP.
    Anything obvious that I may be doing wrong?

    Are you importing them directly from the camera card or from Aperture?
    If from Aperture I had a similar problem with the 5D movies after I had imported them into Aperture and deleted everything off my card (I presume this is what you may have done)
    The problem is that you need the associated .THM files that are created when you shoot a video on the 5d. These are the same name as the movie file but with the THM extension rather than .MOV.
    What I did was:
    Create a folder structure on your hard drive that mirrors the structure on your camera:- ie
    DCIM
    EOS5D
    Export all your .mov files from A3 into the EOS5D folder.
    You then need to recreate a THM file for each of the .mov files and they have to have exactly the same name apart from the extension.
    You can simply copy a THM file from your camera card and then just rename it. Repeat the process for each .mob file
    Once you have done that you should be able to find the files, point to the DCIM folder however.
    I had to do 270 of them and created a work flow in Automator to make it a bit faster.
    However as the the metadata for the clip is contained in the THM file you will lose all that.
    Trick is in the future to ensure that you don't rely on A3 for importing your movie files if you want to get them into FCP (or other software I presume). Do an exact copy of the card file structure and files onto your HD iof you want to import later.

  • How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    Are all images unreadable? What is the exact error message you are getting?
    If only a few images are unreadable, try to import not all photos at once, but in smaller batches, until you know, which photo it is that cannot be read. Import all photos that can be read and reformat your card in the camera to remove the unreadable files.
    But if all photos are unreadable, try, if Image Capture can read your card.
    Is it a new camera? Have you been able to import from that camera before?

  • IPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed.

    iPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed. The import seemed to start normally, I went to mail to check messages, came back to iPhoto & the usual prompt about wanting to delete the photos on the card never came up. The photos didn't show up in events or the library & the device icon wasn't showing so I tried to import again. A prompt then came up saying that I needed to wait until the import was done!

    Hi, this problem is also happening to me also. I just took some pics of my daughter on my nikon d3100 and imported them from SD card to iPhoto. It says 'preparing to import' but during the process i do not see the photos being imported. After it was done, there was a new event album, i clicked opend it to see my photos but all of them were blank. I forced quit and re-launched iPhoto but it didnt work, i even re-imported, not to no avail.. Please help.  Earlly 2011 13' MacBook pro 10.7.2

  • Importing from DVD CAM

    Hi, I just installed Adobe Premiere Pro but I don't know how to import my videos from my DVD CAM. Could anyone tell me how to import from DVD CAM?
    Thank you

    Was just given 2 DVD cam discs containing footage that was shot at a concert I am editing. On reviewing the discs, I noticed that each song is assigned to a separate chapter on the DVD.   I'd really like to use this footage as it provides additional camera angles I didn't cover.  I am going to use my old Ulead Video Studio 8 program to convert the DVD files to mpg's for editing in Pr. (I will also check out the software Jeff mentioned).  I'm trying to convert each chapter on the DVD to an mpeg2 file so the files size is manageable.
    The footage I shot is mini DV, and I plan on mixing the two sources.    What do I need to look out for as far as the "conversions/extra steps" you mentioned?
    Thanks.

  • Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled, not in numerical, chronological or any order. Whats up?

    Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled. Not in numerical, chronological, or any order.

    Hi waynecook.  More information is needed in order to provide a helpful response.
    What settings are you using in the Import dialog?
    Can you sort the images once they are imported?
    Are they sorted/sortable in the Import dialog?
    Into what container are you importing them?
    Is your installation of Aperture and of OS X completely up-to-date?
