Stop Lightroom 2.4 from Importanting Images w/camera connected

I want to stop LR 2.4 from auto importing images when I connect my camera.
I have tried many times to set "Preferences" so it would not auto import images when I connect my camera (Edit > Preferences... > Import > (uncheck box) next to "Show import dialog when memory a card is detected".  I then click on OK and then exit LR2 application.  When I relaunch LR2 the "Show import dialog when memory a card is detected" box is again checked (does not save the preference in the unchecked state).  The LR2 application will not save this preference box as unchecked.
I am running Vista Home Preminum and LR 2.4 on a Sony Viao laptop.  All other LR 2 functions and PS CS4 work fine.
Any help to save this preference with the import box unchecked will be appreciated.

Adobe messed up something with this setting in LR 2.4 and Vista (but not XP,
I don't think).  If you examine the preferences file, directly, the setting
is saved as Unchecked, but when LR reads it back in, it thinks it is
Checked, so it gets saved as Checked each time.
Anyway, I'd suggest you go into Vista / Start / Control Panel (classic view)
/ AutoPlay and change the settings that point to LR to do something else,
like open an Explorer window or perhaps do nothing.

  • Transfer Pictures from Imported Album to Camera Roll

    How much ever i search the net i havent found an answer for this problem. I seem to fall in to a vicious cycle of coming back to square one. Please help me with the following question please.
    1). I am using ipad with camera connection kit for transferring pictures to my ipad.
    2) i have dropbox and MSN Onedrive for storing pictures.
    3) both dropbox and onedrive sync pictures only from camera roll ignoring the other pictures which are vital too.
    4) all the wifi transfer photosync and a core or free aps available in the appstore ddint solve my problem.
    Is there a way to transfer the pics to camera roll without going through a tedious process? Why cant there be a simpler solution?
    Only when i transferthe pics to camera roll that i can sync them wi either dropbox or onedrive.
    PLEASE SUGGEST AN IDEA
    thank you in advance.

    While using Camera Connection Kit to transfer pictures from Memory Card to Ipad the pictures in the memory card gets saved to a separate folder called "Imported Pictures" instead of saving to Camera Roll of Ipad which is the default sync folder for dropbox and onedrive. Its not possible to move the imported album pictures to Camera Roll that easily or very simply. The process is complicated or requires a paid application. My question is whether the pics can be directly saved to camera roll or is there a way to move at a bulk all the pics from imported album to camera roll so that the sync with dropbox and onedrive is easier and simpler.
    Thank you

  • Lightroom 4 would not import images from my camera

    I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
    I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files. 
    I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked.
    Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard.
    Any ideas on how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?

    Perhaps there is a problem with the camera card. But I still believe there is a hardware problem somewhere.
    I can think of hardware problems that can cause this to happen, but I cannot think of any software reasons why LR won't read a JPG, except when it is on a hardd isk.

  • Lightroom CC won't import images

    I just upgraded to lightroom CC from lightroom 5 and it won't import my images.  It shows a preview of them, but when I click import is says "importing images" but it never does and just sits like that.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    Here is a series of things to try to isolate where the issue might be, obviously do an Import after each time you change things, so you know what is affecting the Import:
    Presumably you've rebooted, but if not, or try it, again, this time actually shutting down so the power is off for a few seconds then turn it back on.
    Does it work to import if you open EOS_DIGITAL in the Files section, not the Devices section?
    Freezing (of LR6) suggests something incompatible is plugged into a USB port, somewhere.  It could be the camera or it could be a phone charging or who knows what.  Unplug everything except the camera/card-reader and try it.
    If it does work, then plug things in one-by-one to see which one was causing the issue, and then unplug it, again, to verify it was the problem.
    If it doesn't work with the card-reader or camera attached, then use an OS utility to copy the files to a temporary location on the hard-drive and see if things work better importing from there.
    All this might be enough to determine the cause.  Other things you can try if you want would be:
    Try without converting to DNG.
    Try copying all the files on the card to a folder on the system hard drive using an OS function like Finder or Explorer, then format the card in the camera including a low-level format, then copy the files back to the card.

  • Missing effects from imported images from Photoshop.

    When I import from Photoshop the text files I bring In are missing some effects applied to them in Photoshop (i.e. drop shadow, outer glow etc.)  Why would this be am I missing a step why I bring it in as a composition cropped layers and convert them to editable text or is it a coding error on my end.  Any advise would help.
    Sincerely,
    Confused

    Just a personal anecdote.
    I have several Photoshop people who try to provide me with files for After Effects and Final Cut Pro projects. Bless their little hearts, all they understand is how to print on white paper. It has taken many years to convince them to just give the raw, naked, un-effected stuff and to allow me, sometimes with their guidance, to apply all effects and filters in AE.
    This just makes all of my work in AE simpler and cleaner; I know exactly how things will look as I go to video.

  • Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

    Hi all -
    Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0.  How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone?  I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck.  In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching.  Is this still the case?  If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
    Thanks.

    Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
    It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.

  • How to get photos to iMac, when they were imported via camera connection kid

    Hi,
    I have photos imported on my iPad with the camera connection kid, i.e. directly copying photos from the camera to the iPad in my vacation.
    Now at home, I want to get these photos from the iPad on my desktop (iMac). I use Aperture for syncing, but also in iPhoto I did not manage. The problem is that the photos I have so imported on the iPad can be there found in the "Photo Library" album, while the "Camera roll" album includes the regular iPad Photos. The Camera Roll is visible in Aperture (and iPhoto) for importing as soon as I connect the iPad to the iMac and Aperture (iPhoto) is opened. But I cannot find the Photo Library with all the photos copied in my vacation...
    How can I import those?
    br
    a

    Photos that were imported via the camera connection kit should be treated in the same way as those taken with the iPad in terms of copying them off : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If that doesn't work then there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network.

  • 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.

  • LR4.4 - blacked out boxes when importing images from upgraded PSE10 catalogue [was: Lightroom 4]

    I have been using photoshop elements 10 for over a year and decided it was time to upgrade to Lightroom for my photo workflow as I am doing more paid photography work.  I purchased and received my boxed full version of Lightroom 4 from B & H photovideo on Friday.  I installed it then went on-line and updated it with the download of lightroom 4.4.  Then I opened lightroom 4.4 for the first time and went to files and selected upgrade my photoshope elemnts catalog to lightroom.  Once that was completed I then tried to import images to lightroom 4 to work with them and all I get are blacked out or greyed out boxes in my slide strip at the bottom of the desktop window in import mode. When I point to each box it shows a file name but will not show the image.  I have spent all kinds of time reading and watching tutorials on opening images, importing images and catalogs  and I am FRUSTRATED....  Would really like to talk to someone to get this figured out.  I never thought it would be this difficult to use this program... HELP Please...

    I would like to THANK YOU for your assistance in my situation.  I followed your suggestion and went into my monitor settings and did a manual reset to the default profile and went back to Lr and the images started popping up one at a time until all 7000+ were visable.  Just for the record, I am using Canon 1Ds Mark II, on a Quadcor AMD unlocked FX processor running Windows 7. I shoot in RAW and convert to JPG.  It would have been the last thing for me to look at on my monitor settings as all the other programs on my computer run without a glitch.  Thanks again for your help... Cheers!

  • How do I import images from Aperture into Lightroom 5?

    I've just installed Lightroom 5 onto my Mac.  I waited for it to ask me which image management software I wanted to use as default (I currently use Aperture); then I went looking to find the 'source' to enable me to import images.  It doesn't recognise Aperture or the 3000+ images held in its folders.
    How can I import the images?

    Have you tried some of the online articles?

  • How to import images from iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4?

    After a recent iTunes software update, I can't import images from my iPhone 5 into Lightroom 4.  Now Lightroom doesn't even recognize that the iPhone is connected, nor does the Finder, which explains why I can't choose it as an import source.  Instead the iPhone only shows up in iTunes when connected.  Surely someone else has run into this issue.  Any known solutions/suggestions/work-arounds?
