Unable to Import

On a new computer with Windows 7 I’m trying to import RAW files from a Canon and Nikon camera that have never been imported previously into Lr.. When opening the Import interface all files are greyed out along with the import button when I select the folders that the files are in. No matter what option I choose, Copy to DNG, Copy, Move etc. this remains the same.  In all cases, the import button is greyed out and I can’t import. I understand how this would happen on images previously imported, but I have only started using Lr on this computer so nothing has been imported yet.
I have both CS3 and Bridge installed that I currently use. Could either of these be interfering?
Thank you for your time,
Deep Woods

The solution was found. I abandoned the old catalog and created a new one. Everything is working find now.
Thank you for your time,

  • I am unable to import pictures from my iphone to my computer.  Can anyone help?

    I am unable to import pics. 

    It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
    Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

  • Unable to import video frompanasonic VDR-D105 DVD video camera to imovie HD

    Trying to import my video from my dvd camera but imovie can not find camera. When I connect the firewire the camera locates DVD player software and allows me to play it on my computer, but not able to import to imovie. DVD Player allows my to clip my video but does not allow me to transfer of save it on my computer.
    If I'm unable to import, Is there a work around to get my video in imovie, say quicktime?
    I am using imovie HD 6.0.3.

    Hi S
    1. DVD-Cameras are for playback - not to be edited from.
    iMovie, FinalCut Express and Pro works with miniDV tape Cameras
    This course DVD and hard disk Cameras compact info to medium BUT in
    a destructive way. You can't get full quality back to be edited.
    miniDV also compacts to tape BUT Non-destructive = full quality to Mac.
    2. Does Your Camera really have FireWire. Most probably You are using
    the USB-cable that was delivered with Your Camera. FW is buy extra.
    Best solution - though sour. Change Camera
    If this isn't an option You'll have to back convert to streaming DV that iMovie
    and FCE/P understands.
    - Converting programs like may be:
    MPEG Streamclip converts from mpeg-1 to whatever you like (within reason).
    QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component
    or
    via analog out on Camera via an A/D-box to FW to Mac.
    Non is a good way though.

  • Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

    I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
    Any ideas??!! Thanks.

    .. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
    lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
    .. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
    dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
    iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
    my 5€ cents ..

  • I am unable to import new photos in iPhoto 11. Perhaps I should just reinstall from iLife disk? Will it affect my photos in any way?

    Hello,
    I have iPhoto 11 installed on my MacBook. I am now unable to import new photos using USB or by plugging the camera directly into the laptop. Never had that probem before with this camera. Perhaps just reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disk?

    Hello Terence,
    Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
    If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?

  • Unable to import M3U file. Unknown error -50

    Hey guys,
    I am unable to import an M3U playlist into iTunes. Getting the following error message:
    The file "File.M3U" cannot be imported. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Have any of you seen it and know a way to fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Any chance that the Playlist you are importing has some 'special characters'? They are usually fine within the playlist, but the title of the playlist cannot contain them.
    Just a thought....

  • Unable to import table or columns in OBIEE 11G RPD

    Hi All,
    We are unable to import table into the RPD using OCI 10G/11G to import the table then the import box open but we are unable to see the tables below the schema name. When we use ODBC 3.5 and created a DSN for the database then we are able to see all the tables and import them. But the problem here is that when we are using window server 7 64 bit to install client and then importing the table ODBC is not working fine as well.
    Please note that we are using OBIEE 11G which is installed on unix box and we connect to RPD using client installed on windows server.
    Appreciate all the help in advance.
    Thanks,
    Mohit

    Hi Sayak,
    This means we need to installed Oracle client to resolve this problem. Can you please share if you have some knowledge regarding the same.

  • I am unable to import photos to my computer from my iphone. I need help!

    Everytime i try and import photos to my computer I get an error message on every single photo. It says "The following error occured while importing 'photoxyz.jpg': The exact error is unknown. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you seek additional help to resolve this problem: 80210005." I can then try again (which never works), or skip the file. Essentially I am unable to import any photos from my phone. With the iphone 4 i did this all of the time with no problem but now that I have the iphone 5 this is all that happens. How do I import my photos? I don't want to import every single photos on my phone, just the new ones since the last time I imported. Thanks!!

  • Lightroom 4.2.  unable to import. message files were not imported because they cannot be read

    Lightroom crisis:
    suddenly, unable to import images into lightroom - A window comes up that says ""Following files were not imported because they cannot be read". I was in the process of importing images - 10 images were imported from the shoot then the import stopped.
    I tested the card and the card readers by using cards from different cameras and using different card readers. I was able to import the images into a folder on my desktop so know nothing is corrupted.. The memory cards are good, my card readers are good. no setting have changed in my camera. Nothing has changed in my routine. Have been using lightroom for several years.
    I import through a card reader, convert to DNG and save on an external hard drive. All very ordinary.
    No one I have contacted has had nor knows of anyone who has had this problem.
    Unable to get in touch with anyone at Adobe.
    Thank you for any help or direction to tec support

    On a quick read, it sounds like the same issue that had me dead in the water for 7 days. (LR 4.2)  I tested everything - my card readers are good, the memory cards are not corrupted, tried different cards from different cameras,etc. Working my way through all my tech savvy friends and professionals, I was lucky to connect with a great sr. tech person at Adobe.  After trouble shooting  all lightroom possibilities (3 hours on the phone) we checked my external hard drive where all the images are stored.  Even tho the external hard drive had plenty of space and "told me" that it was healthy and functioning well, Adobe had me go into the external hard drive's properties/tools and do a "check for errors.  12 hours later after the program went though the drive one file at a time, it found errors, moved them to a separate folder, and now all is functioning OK.  The hard drive had not crashed nor were any images lost.  As can happen after some time there must have been a scratch or similar that prevented more images from being written  (or read) to the drive.  Even though all is working OK at this time, I will replace my external hard drive (and it's back up external drive).just in case there are more "bumps" on the external hard drive.
    My tech knowledge is limited, and I am not intuitive  about anything digital, so can't add any more information then the experience I had.

  • Is it possible to uninstall OS Mountain Lion and go back to OS Lion?  This upgrade has been a headache! Mail freezes, all contacts all gone and I am unable to import them again.  HELP?

    I recently downloaded and install OS Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Consequently none of the new mail features are available and everytime I attempt to check for new mail or send mail, the mail app freezes and has to be forced closed.  Also, all of my contacts are gone, and I am unable to import them back.  And I just discovered that all of my calendar items are missing too.  Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

    Thank you for the tip, Andreas. That is exactly what I did for my iPad, and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, when I try to set up my Gmail accounts in Mountain Lion using Exchange services, I receive the following error after putting in m.google.com in the server address field:
    The Exchange server "(null)" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    I know this works for iOS, but it seems like this will not work on Mac OS X.
    Any other suggestions? Thank you.

  • Unable to Import objects into ID

    Hi All,
            For your support I have completed the development work and I have moved to Quality from Development. But while trying to import the one scenario in to Quality System from Development in XI, I am getting the following Error:-
    Internal error: Unable to transfer changes for object Service | Q14CLNT120 to change list "XI 3.0 Import" (9a590f30-7245-11dc-9266-00306ee97ef1) since object still in change list "XI 3.0 Import" (3ae5e660-701d-11dc-942e-00306ee97ef1)
    I have somehow managed to import another scenario last week into Quality, although now I am unable to import. But while trying to activate the imported scenario into Quality System I am getting another Error as below:-
    Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import
    I tried to activate the change list..but no woek.
    Could anyone please advice?

    Have you checked the GUID in SLD in both the systems?
    <b>SLD-->Software Components, to check the GUID.</b>
    You can do one thing, first of delete imported objects which are not getting activated from QA, also delete the SWCV from Integration Repository.
    <b>Note:</b> Before deleting SWCV, make sure any other working objects are not there in the same SWCV. 
    Now, if <b>SWCV & GUID</b> in both systems are <b>same</b> then again:
    1. Export the objects from Dev (.tpz file)
    2. Imort the same .tpz file to QA system.
    Now go to Repository of QA and
    1. <b>Tools --> Import Design Objects</b>
    2. <b>Tools --> Transfer from system landscape Directory --> Update Application Components.</b>
    Select your components and press Finish button.
    And finally try to Acitvate your objects.

  • I am unable to import my json file for my bookmarks.

    I'm unable to import bookmarks. When I go to Bookmarks, there is no organize option. If I go to File->Import, it just says that No programs that contain bookmarks, history, etc could be found even though its very obvious that it never made an attempt to look. Normally I do this in the Bookmarks->Show all bookmarks option without problems. I'm trying to import a json file.

    I'm no good a searching for things in Bugzilla.
    If it helps you the keyboard shortcuts within the Library List are
    Alt+O Organize
    Alt+V Views
    Alt+I Import and Backup
    anything else was added by an extension and has no keyboard shortcut.
    Would be nice to know if that works even when you can't see the Library's toolbar dropdowns but would see the dropdown once the shortcut is entered and be able to continue.

  • Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

    After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

    I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
    Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
    Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
    Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
    Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

    Is it possible to rollback patch 9206876 - UNABLE TO IMPORT INTERCOMPANY AP INVOICES.You cannot rollback this patch and the only supported way to do this is by restoring all the application/database log files from the backup which was taken before you apply this patch.
    What are the patches those can be rolled back in EBS R12?There is no tool/way to rollback the patches which are applied using adpatch (except restoring the files as mentioned above).
