Why can't I upload any files into lightroom?

I've been using Lr for a while and it never gave me any problems, but all of a sudden I can't upload any files into lightroom, whether it's from my iphone or a raw file. I've updated all my software and computer yet lightroom still says it can't read any files once I hit the import button. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hello! Thanks for answering
This is what is says: Could not copy a file to the requested location.
However, when I started having trouble with this it said something like "lightroom can't read the files". I then updated all of my software.
I'm thinking it could a directory issue?
Also, by "upload" I meant when I hit the IMPORT button.
thank you!!

Why can't I upload pdf files into the US District Court CM/ECF system?

Since the last update to Firefox, I cannot upload pdf files into the Federal Court's e-filing system. When I press the browse file button, all the files (except jpg) files appear inactive and I cannot click on any file, esp. pdf files to upload. I tried it with Safari and had no trouble. I need this resolved asap as I routinely have done all my e-filing with Firefox. I had no issues in the past until the recent update. Thank you.

The Bankruptcy Court announced a few months ago that updated versions of Firefox would not work with the ECF system. You have to download an older version of Firefox. I was able to download Firefox 3.6.19 and I run that only for bankruptcy filings.
I know it doesn't make sense, but it works.
Many people are evidently having the same trouble. I have no idea why the court system doesn't run software that works with the latest versions of Firefox. Or why the latest versions of Firefox don't work with the courts.
I'm looking for a way to notify Firefox and to ask them to fix.
Incidentally, over Labor Day weekend, the Bankruptcy Court - at least in Oregon - did a major software overhaul. But they didn't fix the Firefox issue.

How can I Import *.Mov video files into LightRoom 5.3 ?

Why can I not upload any video's?

So I just bought your Adobe Photoshop and premiere elements.
I own a Panasonic Lumix camera that takes pictures and video
I can upload the cideos from this camera to windows movie maker, but when I try to upload it to premiere all I get is an audio file
Why can I not use the video with this program

save
Nothing to be confused about. We put the details together and find the solution. Specifically....
1. What version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system are they running? For now I will assume versions 12 on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit. But those are important details to start with.
2. You say that your video is from a Panasonic Lumix camera...which model and what are your camera settings?
We should be about to know what your source media are from that although a properties readout from programs such as MediaInfo or gspot would be useful.
http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
But to expedite matters, let us see what we can do from just knowing the brand/model/camera settings. Please include the file extension of this problem file?
3. Once we have the information above, then we need to make sure that the project preset that you are using for Premiere Elements matches the properties of those source media. But, all we need to know, may be in your full answer to "2".
Let us start here. We can go at whatever pace you want for getting to the core of this issue.
The Adobe Premiere Elements Forum is described as Premiere Elements users helping other Premiere Elements users with Premiere Elements workflow problems. Occasionally an ID identified as Adobe Help or Staff will pop up but not routinely or expected. If you want direct Adobe Help immediately and scheduled, then contact Adobe Chat.

TA22875 Why can't I drag MP4 Files into Imovie?

I'm trying to frag MP4 files into I Movie and when I release the mouse it just returns them to where they came.

OK
We here are not Apple or employed by them - the thoughts and wisdom of Apple is very occult to many of us !
We are as You - Users and trying to be of help for other users !
The thing is - I don't know about Codecs, and please take this the right way when I say - I'm not interested in Codecs.
I just want to drag my movie files taken in whatever format I take them in and drag them into Imovie to work on them.
mp4 is a fairly common format?
then I have very little possibility to be of help - as I only can guide You a bit of the way to understand and work around this Problem - I never denied it to be.
But it seems that every Camera company makes there own solutions and to make Video editing programs or DVD authoring ones that can use every strange Video Codec availably - is impossibly - Not even FinalCut or Avid or Adobe Premiere can do this.
.mp4 - is no more Video Codec as any folder or hard disk - and tell that my material is on a hard disk, doesn't help us in understanding where it goes wrong.
So if You want to get this to work - then You need to set of a minimum of interest in howto get it right.
To find out the Codec
• Open the file with QuickTime-Player (as it can open many many more Codecs than iMovie can use)
• here open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
Video Format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnnnnn
Frames per second : YY.yy fps
What does they say ?
If You feel offended and don't want - There is no solution as I know of.
AND - I have no intention to offend at any cost - but need info (and so does the others here too) to be able to reach out a hand
Yours wanting to be of more help - Bengt W

Why can't I attach any files to my email

Why can I not upload any images from my iPhone 4 to my Macbook Pro? Please help!

Hi all,
I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
Thank you!

I am assuming it's not a problem with the iPhone has I have tried several iPhones and had the same problem.

Why can't I access any files on the other computers

I am currently having trouble retrieving files from other local computers within my area that have Airport cards installed on them (as well as this computer I am currently using, which has the base). While it shows that I have a good connection between the computers on the network, I am unable to access any files from said computers externally, only the local servers show up. Is there any way to remedy this?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Why can't I transfer any files to an external device?

My MacBook Pro will not let me transfer any files to my external hard drive or android tablet. I can transfer from the device to the macbook but not the other way around. I used to be able to as I have transferred movies from the macbook to the hard drive before but it will no longer allow me to do that. I have downloaded the android file transfer app. How do I fix this?

The external HDD is probably formatted NTFS, for Windows, which allows you to read but not write to it. Click on it with COMMAND + I and check the format.
You can reformat it for Mac or PC and Mac, but reformatting will erase all user data off of the HDD.
You also can use a third party software such as Paragon or Tuxera to write to it.
Ciao.

Why can't i import .mov files into imovie

Everytime recently I've tried to import a .mov file into imovie, its come up with the optimizing video box but nothing happens, I used to import straight from the camera, but I've recently emptied my camera onto my hard drive after a trip to New Zealand and now, when I have tried to import the footage from my hard drive, it does the optimizing video freeze on me. I would like to be able to get these movies into Imovie without having to pay a rediculous amount of money for some little converting program. I originally bought a apple computer, because I thought everything worked with each other, but now, I'm not so sure about that anymore.
Also, I've tried MPEG streamclip and all that did was either freeze on me or make the video size smaller, as in, the sides were pushed in and it ruined the video.
Camera: Canon HD Legria HFR38

What codec are the files? .mov is a container that can house many different video codecs.

Why when I open my raw files into lightroom, colors are different from my camera's preview?

Ciao,
I have a problem... maybe this can be a stupid question but anyway.. I would like to know the reason why when I open a raw image in lightroom, for a second I see the right colors/tone/contrast that i see when i look at the same images on my camera and soon after the word "Loading" I see the raw files with different colors.
Why this happens???
Before "Loading" and --> after
Thank you so much

Hey Giuseppe
I have a similar problem but the cause may be different from yours. I shoot a Canon 6D and as far as I know no one with the 5D MKIII has my issue, but maybe you could look into it.
Canon's Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CC, as well as Lightroom CC, is automatically down converting my CR2 RAW files from 14 bit color depth to 8 bit color depth. This is screwing up my colors, contrast, gradients, etc quite a bit when trying to process RAW files in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
You can read my thread here:
Banding due to automatic downconverting of RAW files to 8 bit
You might want to check and see if your RAW files are actually being processed in 16 bit color depth. There is a possibility that they are being down converted automatically for some reason.
The bit depth in Lightroom for RAW files is supposed to be 16 bit but when opening my files it just converts it down.
Try downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4
Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 5D Mark III
Use that software to process a RAW photo and convert to a 16 bit TIFF. I know this software truly gives you a 16 bit depth image. Then compare the result side to side with what you're seeing in Lightroom.
If you are having this issue, I have not yet found a way to process RAW CR2 files in ACR or Lightroom and maintain 16 bit depth.
If you are batch processing to JPEGs it probably doesn't matter, but my issue is that it is down converting BEFORE exporting and thus any edits I do become much more destructive on my 8 bit image than they would if I was editing a 16 bit image. I have to be able to keep things in 16 bit up until the point they go to the printer.
Sorry, this may not help you at all, it looks like there could just be a difference in White Balance, but I figured I'd throw my two cents out there and maybe you could see if this is actually what is happening for you, and hopefully eventually Adobe could potentially fix this bug.
