Warning-encountered problems reading photo

Just started receiving this message for a ton of images. Before this I just started getting the exclamation point waring about metadat. That I was able to fix by reimporting metadata.
Any idea on how to fix this one on propblems reading photo unable to make adjustments.
Thanks
Dan

I was also plagued by this problem. I could "fix it" (sort of) by leaving the computer alone (i.e. do not touch anything) while importing images from a memory card.
Background: When I was first seeing this error, I was thinking - "aw, no, the CF card failed, gosh". After a short panic attack, I wrote down the file names and imported them (from the same CF card, same location, not even restarted Lightroom) manually. No problem at all, so I ruled CF card failure out. *phew*
The error was always appearing when I was using Lightroom during the import process, e.g. opening images from the just imported set. Now, my Laptop computer is quite fast (Intel Core Duo T2300E 1,66GHz), so I thought processor performance should not be a problem. I guess it's a bug that needs to be fixed.
An interim solution is to do nothing while importing, which works for me. Just imported 700+ images without a single problem.

  • Error message- "LR has encountered problems reading this photo" after installing LR 5.6 on new computer and retrieving all contents from old HD from external HD.

    Hi-
    I got a new PC laptop, retrieved all old HD contents from my external HD, installed LR 5.6 (5.4 on previous PC) and when I tried to open up my old Lightroom catalog it has an error saying "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo.  You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo".  I tried to open the catalog straight from my external HD with the same error message. I've read about four billion forum threads to try to figure it out- files do not seem to be missing as most threads indicate.  The other threads suggest there is a corruption with the file, but I don't THINK that is the case.  Are there any other suggestions?   If the file is corrupted, how do I find out for sure?  Have I lost all my edits?? 
    Thanks for your help and time!

  • "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo."

    ***** UPDATE July 17, 2013 @ 9:16 am Central Time (UTC -06:00)*****
    After Creating a fresh catalog I have been able to clarify the issue a bit. This error appears to only show up in Folders exported as Catalogs. Particularly when I try and open that exported catalog.
    I suspect there is a problem with the way Lightroom 5 is exporting these catalogs. I didn't have this issue with LR4.4, but it shows up any time I export a folder as a catalog within LR5, regardless of whether or not it is exported from an upgraded catalog or a fressly created catalog.
    It looks like fixing the problem is going to be time consuming, but not impossible. So far I have confirmed that these files - reported as throwing this error by Lightroom 5 ("Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo .... You will not be able to make adjustment to this photo.") - can be imported into a new/existing catalog by multiple methods without carrying over the errors displayed in the exported catalog.
    This is frustrating and adds additional steps to my workflow, but isn't undoable. Of course it would be nice if LR5 worked as correctly and exported folders as catalogs without throwing errors when those new catalogs were opened...
    Is anyone else seeing this problem when they open catalogs created by "exporting a folder as a catalog"?
    ***** Original Post *****
    I'm really confused. I am consistently getting this message on certain exports, but not others...
    When it happens:
    1) "Export this Folder as a Catalog" from a specific folder within my Working Catalog
         Select the location
         Select "Export negative files"
    When I open the NEW Catalog - ALL the photos reflect this error message: "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo .... You will not be able to make adjustment to this photo."
    When I go to the Develop tab it displays "There was an error working with the photo" over the photo, but I can edit it... When I close the catalog and re-open it, the changes don't reflect UNTIL I go back to the Develop tab, then the thumbnail will reflect the change. But the system still insists that it has a problem with the file...
    2) The same thing happens when I export the file from my Working Catalog as an image of the same format - be it tif, dng, or psd, or RAW files. Not sure what I was refering to here (can't duplicate today - July 17).
    When it doesn't happen:
    When I export the file to the auto import folder for my Portfolio catalog (original format). This seems to work...
    Why am I so confused? Because all of these catalogs are located on the same drive (which is different than the drive my Working Catalog is on). When they are auto imported to my Portfolio catalog they seem to work, but everything else throws an error sinse I upgraded to LR5!
    My System:
    Windows 7 Pro SP1 (fully up to date) 64-bit
    Intel Core i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
    Installed RAM: 12.0 GB
    My Lightroom 5 Working Catalog doesn't seem to be having any problems...
    This problem is frustrating enough that I may go back to LR4. I can't have my archived files compromised...

    Suggestion to all who encounter problems like this: if you've installed 3rd party memory cards (ram), go back to your original ram, or at least the brand of ram that your computuer came with.
    Long story, short:
    I had the same error message in LR5.  It only happened with several images in a given import.  If I deleted all of the images from the import and reimported the images, a different set of images would have the error message.  The images that originally had the message would no longer have the problem.  I deleted and reimported several times while observing the same behavior. 
    Not only did lightroom give me issues, but Bridge had problems reading the files, and the previews of the problem images would not show up in Finder (Mac speak).  This ruled out, to me at least, that it was a software issue.  I went out and purchased a new card reader and had the same problems.  I tried a different card with different images and got the same problems. 
    After I contacted Adobe, they had me upload two files with the error, and they said the files were corrupted due to faulty hardware.  I took my mac book pro (13in early 2011 w/ 10.7.5) to the apple store and they ran a diagnostic test amoung other test and we came up with nothing.  Everything seemed to be good on the hardware side.  After some research the Rep. asked me about my ram (memory cards).  I had in the past installed two 3rd party cards to boost my ram from 4GB to 8GB. The rep. suggested that I go home and test the issue with the original ram my computer came with before we go any farther.  So far, I haven't had any issues. 
    I hope this helps,

  • LR5 encountered problems reading this photo.

    Hi,
    I am working on a Macbook Pro, 8gb with 1 tb
    Recently did external back up.
    Mac was having issues so we ( IT guys ) did a clean install and only brought back in basics.
    ( I was on LR3 and PSE9 ) but we didn't bring it over as mirror copy because there were so many other items on Mac I didn't need.
    I bought Mac with LR3 and PSE9 so I could not do upgrade,
    I instead started the trial today, so we could merge from the external the images to Pictures. ( so it was on external in pictures and now on os-x pictures )
    So LR5 brought all my catalogs in, I even got smug mug to find its catalogs. , but now I am getting ! on every image.
    I have selective chosen the image from external and moved it to OS X  pictures folder.
    Why am I getting the ! on the images. When I right click the ! I get error, LR has encountered problems reading this file.
    when I click find in file folder I get a tiff picture with a loop on top and if I click that I get this... Item “untitled-8547-Edit.tif” is used by OS X and can’t be opened.
    one thing I did just notice is the date on the tiff says, Jan 24th 1984 3am 0 bytes tiff image.   ( what the heck? )
    now the image right beside it to the left is the image ( I can actually see ) and it looks good.
    why is finder bringing up a bogus tiff ?
    Thank you for your help. Need to be up and running. Need these ! gone , please help.

  • "LR has encountered problems reading this photo" is the message I get when I try opening my Nikon D7

    I downloaded a trial version yesteday and it is not totally convincing !

    We'd need more details to help, including ... exactly what is a Nikon D7? I can't find any website that mentions the existence of a Nikon D7. Perhaps that is why Lightroom is having a problem
    Other information needed:
    The exact error message, word for word
    exactly what step (or what action) in Lightroom produces this message
    the operating system
    the version of Lightroom
    is the photo RAW or JPG
    where is this photo stored on your hard disk (the exact path and file name)

  • "LR has encountered problems reading this photo"

    This is the message I get when I try to open a RAW file.
    The camera I am using is Nikon D700.
    The file I am trying to open is on my HD.
    My system is Windows 7.
    I am using LR 5 that I dowloaded yesterday for Trial ( Trial Version ).
    Thanks.

    I recently followed the Adobe links to download the trial version of Lightroom 5 and discovered that it was downloading version 5.1 instead of the latest version which is 5.3 All releases of Lightroom 5 should support the Nikon D700 but v5.3 incorporates various fixes and improvements which may solve your current problem.
    Open your copy of Lightroom and check the version by selecting "Help / About Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" from the main program menus.
    If you have an earlier version then download Lightroom version 5.3 for Windows 7  from here:

  • Has anyone encountered problems copying photos from iPhone 4 to PC (Windows)?

    I have been copying photos from my iPhone to a Windows PC but somewhere along the way, the copying just stops. At first I thought that it was because the phone was Auto-Locking but I set Auto-Locking to Never. I eventually had to manually copy missing photos from the phone to PC. I am using Windows Explorer to see all the files in the phone's internal storage, then copying into a folder onto the PC. Don't know if this is a Windows problem or something on the phone but I have never encountered something like this before.

  • Problem reading Photos on 6230i

    I have a 6230i and have taken,read and saved photos in the past using Lexmark P6350 printer with MMC slot.
    This time printer says it cannot find any photos and the card should be formatted. How do I do this? Can it be done without losing the photos?
    All help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Firstly, I'd like to let you know that I had the same problem(except it was a Canon). There is no way of formatting the card without deleting all the data on it, so the best thing to do is get a memory card reader and copy the files to your PC and then put the memory card in your phone, and when asked,format the memory card and then copy the files back to your memory card.
    Hope that helps!

    Here is a snippet from a discussion on another forum that includes a quote from Jeff Schewe, whom I consider to be a very good source for reliable information:
    Look, I'll make it REAL simple...
    TIFF = Good
    PSD = Bad
    PSD is now a bastardized file format that is NOT a good idea to use. Even the Photoshop engineers will tell you that PSD is no longer the Photoshop "native" file format. It has no advantages and many disadvantages over TIFF.
    TIFF is publicly documented, PSD is not. That makes TIFF a preferred file format for the long term conservation of digital files.
    And, let me be blunt, anybody who thinks PSD is "better" than TIFF is ignorant of the facts. If Adobewould let them, the Photoshop engineers would tell you to quit using PSD.

  • "Capture encountered a problem reading the data" ANYBODY HAVE AN ANSWER?

    "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape..."
    How do I get FCP to capture the footage? The tape is fine as far as I know. When I play the tape it shows up in the capture window, but when I click capture "Now", it'll capture 2 seconds, stop, then give the message:
    "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 4 GB DDR SDRAM
    Kazinako
    I have a Sony TUV 900, and this camera and this FCP have worked together in harmony for many years until recently. I have no external hard drives, only internal hard drives. The firewire goes out of camera and goes into back of computer. The tape plays fine in my TUV 900 camera, (where the tape was originally recorded.)
    I recently read on this forum where someone said they:
    "Actually, I just had to switch to NTSC in the easy setup menu. I could have sworn I did that last night but I guessed I missed it. Anyway, I can capture now."
    I would appreciate any advice on this subject.
    Thanking you in advance, Michael Kasino

    Try another device-- deck or camera to eliminate that possibility.
    So I did this and now suspect the camera...
    I tried another camera, and I still encountered the problem, (probably because of tape damage at this point), But the ALT camera did a much better job and digitized over areas the TUV 900 could not.
    Now, I agree it is a camera issue. It could be 'bad tensioning' in the cassette, or my tape transport in the camera could be 'slacking the tape'. (I was using a Maxell Minin DV rewinder recently.
    Is this camera even worth repairing, or even able to be repaired? ( $3-500. ?)
    Am I better off getting a newer model at this point?
    Also I am seeing ALOT of 'artifacting', big blocky elements of distorted image to the left side of my screen during and on digitized clips. (Could the head be going south?)
    Any thoughts helpful.

  • Capture encountered a problem reading the data source tape .

    FCP 4.5
    SONY DSR-20 deck
    dual 1.5GHZ
    There are sound drop-outs on my source NTSC mini-dv tapes
    the time-code looks pretty steady in the DSR-20 deck display
    however i keep getting the following message when i try to digitize:
    "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape.
    This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted
    and your clip has been saved"
    I've tried setting Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and trying to capture video ONLY [the drop-out is mainly in the sound] which has generally solved this problem in the past but to no avail.
    The same message comes up.
    I realize my source tapes are messed up but how to work around it?
    any advice please !
    thank you

    The most direct work-around is to play your DV tape through the analog outs on some device and to bring the signal into a a/dv converter and to capture using 'capture now/non-controllable device'
    I'm doing this as I write. A student, who did not know any better, recorded on LP mode and the timecode (and recording in general) is nearly unusable. This is the only way I've been able to get it into the system. It ain't pretty but you will have the material.
    You are correct when you inquire that there will be no time code and the material will take a 2 conversion hit.
    Good luck.

  • Capture encountered a problem reading....

    I know that this issue has been beaten to death but none of the responses seem to help.
    I am consistently getting the following error message: "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. To capture as much footage as possible, please capture a clip that ends before this segment, and another one that starts right after it."
    I have tried different cameras as playback devices without success.
    When I use "Capture Now" I get the following message: "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. Capture has aborted and your clip has been saved."
    Imovie seems to import the same "problem tape" without an issue.
    I have capture at least one tape without a problem. On some tapes after the above message occurs I am able to get past the "bad spot" and continue to capture. On other tapes the message keeps occurring.
    I have dubbed a problem tape but the error message continued to appear at the same spot in the tape.
    Most footage was taken using a SONY TRV 900.
    QT is up to date
    I do not believe this is a TC issue.
    I have also tried different firewire cables.
    This problem is making my attempts to capture over 100 tapes simply impossible. Is there any reason to believe that using a deck (rather than a camera) would eliminate this problem?
    NOTE: I had one tape that captured fine. However when I start getting the above errors, even the "good tape" generates the error (when it previously captured fine.)
    Are there certain files that can be getting corrupted that I can trash?
    Is there any workaround that would force FCP to capture the tape?
    Mac Pro 2.66/FCP 6.0.5

    PROBLEM SOLVED!
    Hi Daisydaisy, I also was struggling with this same problem and found your post when I was doing research. I would like to share the solution I found with you. I also use a Sony TRV-900 which I have owned for 9 years.
    I had my camera professionally cleaned and serviced. Besides being cleaned, the gears that turn the tape were tweaked and set back to the correct specifications.
    I had used tape head cleaner I bought at camera stores to clean my camera, but that was not good enough.
    I can now digitize without any problem.
    There is one catch. The tapes I shot with my camera before I had it serviced play back fine, BUT still can not be digitized without getting the 'can not read source tape' error message.
    All new tapes recorded with the camera AFTER it was PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED and had ROUTINE MAINTENANCE digitize perfectly without any error.
    I've seen this problem crop up on other message boards when I was doing research into this problem, and there never seems to be any solution to this. I finally found a message forum from 3 years ago, in a deep Google search, where a guy solved this problem by having his camera professionally cleaned and serviced. I took his advice, and it solved the problem of 'CAN'T READ SOURCE TAPE'
    BRAVO! FINITO!
    By the way, I went to a place in Burbank, California called TEK Media Group. There phone number is 818-244-4440
    It cost me $350 to have the camera cleaned and serviced. They said the the drums were dirty and the tension was off too.

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!
