The following files were not compiled:

I'm getting this message in my compile log for one of our smaller projects after compiling the project to an HTMLHelp (.chm) output:
The following files were not compiled:
Images\example_scan_mode_1.bmp
Images\example_scan_mode_2.bmp
Images\example_scan_mode_3.bmp
Finished compiling HTMLHELP in 26 sec(s)
Compilation complete.
But the files exist in the appropriate directory and are listed in the project manager under Images. Anyone have an easy way to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all
Something else that may be at play here is the file format involved. Generally speaking, "web friendly" image formats are .GIF, .JPG and .PNG. .BMP isn't really considered to be a "web friendly" image format.
Cheers... Rick

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

Why am I getting this error message when I try to import? "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (645)" I can see them :(

Depends on your operating system
Go to google, try typing in
Change permissions Windows
or

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

I get an error message "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (266)..

I get an error message "the following files were not imprted because they could not be read (266) on Lightroom 4 on my desktop.
No problems importing the files onto my laptop. Using a SANDISK card reader and card. What's going on on the desktop?

Leanne, check the write pernissions on the folder/drive you are attempting to import into on your desktop. The message usually means "cannot be written" - a not so clear message.

LR5 won't import photos Ijust took. Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it's ALL the photos. never had this problem be4. what gives?

Keeps coming up:"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." And it's ALL the photos. never had this problem be4. what gives? Using an SD card, its a 64GB 600x Speed . I'm on a Mac 10.8.5; iPhoto has no problem importing them.

In order to see the windows that show sharing and permissions I gave you above, you have to right click on the the item, e.g. folder, HD, etc., and this window comes up. Then you right click on "Get Info" and the windows with S/P pop up. In LR%, if I right click on Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
There is no option to "Get Info", and if I right click within Destinations folder, this is what comes up:
Still no "Get Info". If I click on the specific file (in this case "2015), this is all I get: Last thought, yesterday out of desperation, I called the Apple store. I am operating on Mountain Lion operating system, and Yosemite is the latest (as of 10/14). The manager suggested that if there had been an update in LR5 that was now only compatible with this later system, maybe that was the issue and I should consider updating to Yosemite. I had no problem downloading photos as of 9/14, but don't think I've done anymore since their update….when was the last LR5 (I'm using LR5.7 currently)? Do you think this might be the problem with permissions?

The following files were not imported... could not be read

I continually receive this error message when using Lightroom 5 to import raw files from a Canon 650D.
Sometimes LR will import some of the images, more often none.
I've tried a complete reinstall of the computer (OS X 10.8.4)
I've tried updating to LR5.2 release candidate.
I've tried deleting my 'Preference' file and letting LR recreate it.
I still get this problem over and over and over again and it's really starting to become annoying.
I have permission to write to the target directory.
LR sometimes gets one or two files, then the error.
LR is always slow slow slow when attempting to import, far slower than LR4 ever was.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this just a shortcoming of LR5 - no images?
I've passed a raw file to someone else who confirmed there was nothing 'unusual' about it and was able to import it to their LR5 install.
Glancing through google/these forums, it seems like a common problem with lots of suggestions but no solutions that work for me. Please help.
*edit - I should clarify - the full text of the error is 'Some import operations were not performed. The following files could not be read.'
Followed by the number, and listing of files, I'd really like to PP.

Thanks. Good question. Direct from camera via USB.
I attempted via Image Capture. This timed out partway through the first time (trying 150 images) - "your camera has powered down, x images not imported (or words to this effect." It was still slow.
It did succeed after 2 attempts with Image Capture. I could then import to LR5 from Hard Drive, no problem.
I'm using original Canon USB cable, SDXC card (supported by my Canon 650D) is formatted in camera. It's a 64GB SanDisk. 45MB\s. Class 10 and has never exhibited any unusual behaviour either in camera or in SD reader.
I purged the caches as suggested.
I also reviewed all of the import settings and changed them a little in the hope it makes a difference (Build Smart Previews = ON)
I've just reformatted the SDXC card in camera. Fired off 20 shots. Attempted via LR5 and worked first time.
My experience so far is that this problem will reoccur. Probably when I have >150 shots on the card.
I'll wait until it happens again and try a more controlled comparison, direct from Camera, via Image Capture/HDD and time things too.
I have tried a second SDHC card previously when this error first occured. This exhibited the same behaviour, suggesting either the camera or LR5 or OSX or ?

The following files were not imported because the files could not be read.(254)

This is an issue that just happened and I don't know if it is related to the upgrade to 4.3 or not. Can some one help me with this, please? This message comes up when I try to import to light room. A box comes up that says "Import Results" then the error message shows with a group of file numbers that wouldn't import. I have looked at everything I can think of to remedy this situation but I am not finding any thing.

Are you importing directly from a card or do you copy the files to your hard disk and then import them from there? I've found that the second method seems to be more reliable.
Jeff

Why does this happen?--"The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Lightroom will not import ANY files.

Lightroom cannot read files, yet they can be imported by copying them.

Jim is correct. This is very likely a permissions problem. If you have checked and are CERTAIN the permissions are correct you should, in this order:
1.Repair Permissions
2.Reset your preference file by holding down [Shift][Opt] and Launching Lightroom.

When trying to import photos from a memory card I get error "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.". When i first installed Lightroom i was able to import from the very same card because there are photos in my library. I

Someone please help...I am very annoyed with Lightroom as I have been trying to import photos with no success

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

When I import photos to lightroom CC I get a message Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read.

Dsc_5122nef dsc_5123JPG Everything worked fine for the last week. The only thing changed is I removed lightroom 5. How can I reinstall Lightroom 5

Its a 100% failure. I was trying to import 37 photos all failed. I can still import into Lightroom 5. I also can import into Lightroom CC on my other Mac. I tried importing from different cards, my other 7100 and my 5300 same problem. I have tried every combination of card reader, camera and computer I have. The only only time the message shows up is when I try to import into Lightroom CC on my 27 in Mac. Thanks Art

"the following files were not imported because they could not be read"

I am using windows. This problem just started. Any ideas?

Hi, southern_ang,
Novice to novice, I would try just about anything before I would muck around with WRITE settings, since I, as a novice, have absolutely no clue what those are. I would try moving your pictures out of iPhoto. Somewhere in Mac OS, there is a directory called "pictures", just like there is one called "documents". I would take one of your least favorite shots out of iphoto and move it into a picture folder outside of iPhoto. Be sure that the photo still has the .jpg extension, If it works, it works. There is probably an easier solution, but that, it seems to me, again as a novice, requires the least amount of mucking around with computer settings. And, if it works, you know that you should just forget about iPhoto in the future. I have a Mac, and personally, I never use iPhoto for storage. I just load all of my photos onto an external hard-drive and access them from there. Solves the computer death problem, too.

Files were not compiled message

Whenever I compile my HTML Help project, I get the following
message:
"The following files were not compiled:
http:\www.aldon.com"
I have searched the entire project folder for this string of
characters with both the RH Multi-file Search tool and with Windows
search. Neither tool found such a string. The string also does not
appear in the list of URLs.
Any suggestions?
Bob Boller

Hi, Bob,
Is that URL the target of a "Jump" button that you added to
the toolbar of a help window? If so, the error message is nothing
to worry about. It just signifies that the compiler, which normally
only pulls local source files into the help file, was incapable of
fetching a remotely-held one.

Error message: "the following files were imported but could not be renamed"

Trying to import photos and keep getting error "the following files were imported but could not be renamed." Any help would be appreciated...using Lightroom 3 still ( I know I know) and importing into lightroom with a backup copy to computer harddrive.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Peter I am also experiencing the same error message. Here is my situation:
I am using Lightroom 4.
I have duplicated images across multiple harddrives.
I am trying to import these using 2 seperate 2 terrabyte hard drives ( 1 for lightrooom the other as my image backup drive).
I am using keywords and embedding the keyword into the new backup file name. Hopefully provide some organization.
I am using the MOVE option in my import process.
Have he images that were not renamed moved to the new backup drive? Are they they under the original file name?
I want to end up with a common lightroom catalog and single backup file structure as my photo repository.
What am I doing to trigger the above message and what suggestions might you have with regards to my lightroom organization approach?
Any insight and recommendations to my situation would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Jay

"The Following File Could Not Be Imported" Error on iPhone 4 - Unreadable

This just started happening on my new iPhone 4. When importing into iPhoto I get the error "Unreadable Files - The Following File Could Not Be Imported (The File is an Unrecognized Format)". Below that it lists all the pictures that could not be imported. Most recently there were 11 files out of 16 that could not be imported. If I email these files from my iPhone to my .Mac email address they can then be added to iPhoto. Thoughts?

I have the same problem. It seems to come and go. Rebooting the iPhone 4 is not working. When it happened in the past, I was able to import some of the images into iPhoto by "import selected" and choosing a small number of files. It seemed the problem went away (for a while) after did the previous upgrade of the iOS. The problem cropped up again a few weeks ago and has not gone away with the latest iOS update, even after it "rebuilt" the images database. I've also tried using the image capture application with no luck either.
The whole point of getting the iPhone 4 for me hinged on the camera capability. This is getting pretty frustrating as it's a reoccuring problem.
