Why did Lr5.7 add an identical volume to the destinations panel on import from camera card to which the new photos were added?

I've been using Lr5 for a little less than a year and had never used a photo management program before. Up until 2015 I downloaded photos to my external hard drive and imported to Lr from there. No problem. January 6 I decided to try to download directly from my camera card. Suddenly, on my destination panel an identical volume showed up and this is where the photos were imported to. I know it was identical because it matched the info on the original volume, and when I looked at my file structure in my HD, it was as it should be. When I tried to move the new files into the original folders I got a message the "a folder already exists in that location," which it of course would read because, as I said, my HD folders were formatted correctly. Here's a screenshot of how it looked:
I'm baffled. I found a workaround by setting up a temporary subfolder under my photograph library, moving them into that, and then into the correct folder. But I'm not sure it won't happen again. And I don't understand why it happened. Any help would be appreciated.

I am aware that if you remove any external drive the computer won't recognize it.
I safely ejected the SD card and closed iMovie then would reopen iMovie and insert the SD card multiple times and it did not work. I also tried restarting the computer a couple of times and also unsuccessful.

  • Why did Lightroom add folders to my structure ... ?

    Hi there,
    I have this irritating problem when I wanna add photos from my SD card.
    I chose the COPY function and then chose/instruct Lightroom to copy all the selected files to my Dorbo harddisk as this link:
    Drobo > Photos > Birthday
    But instead, Lightroom created an extra folder called "2015" and copied al the selected files to:
    Drobo > Photos > Birthday > 2015
    How do I instruct Lightroom to stop being "busy body" and stop created extra folder ?
    How do I instruct Lightroom to just copy to the exact folder that I wanted ?
    Thanks

    I think a picture is helpful in this case.
    At the top of the Destination panel, set "Organize" to "By date" to create date sub-folders automatically. Change "Organize" to "Into one folder" to suppress this behavior.
    I hope this helps!

    Thank you, Mike for the solution ... really appreciate it ... cheers

    Why did I get a 2011 model ipad when I just purchased it from apple?

    If you ordered an "iPad 2" (as shown in your profile), that model was created in 2011. The current model is called "iPad with Retina Display" (or "iPad 4" colloquially).

  • Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old!

    Why did my screen crack while charging? It hasn't been dropped, every time I charge it a new crack appears I'm tired of this it's only a year old! If its not covered under warranty never again will I go apple I've had nothing but issues so far.

    We can't answer that. Maybe the battery is bad and is swelling inside the phone. Maybe someone else dropped it and didn't tell you about it.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and see what they say.
    If it's over a year old, then it's not covered under warranty.

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6  After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it.  Why is it doing this?

    I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
    Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • Where did import from camera go?

    I need to import from Camera... It is gone.. where did it go... I archive my video to an external disk and import what I need. The feature seems to be missing or gone.. where did it go?

    Following up on Mr Cude's post... you can also access thru the import icon. You will see "cameras" show up in a list along with desktop, HD's, etc.

  • The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

    If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
    If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
    You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

  • Why did it add an extra pixel to my jpg?

    I recently designed some ads in Indesign CS6 which I then exported to jpg format. When I sent them to the publishing house they could not be uploaded onto their system because the size was not correct although in indesign the size of the document was the correct pixel size.
    In opening them in Photoshop CC I could see a single pixle had been added to the width and this was stopping it from going through the publishing houses online system.
    Has this happened to anyone else before? Is it a common export problem or is this something I did wrong and maybe should have expected it to happen?
    Just want to know if I need to be checking every file in photoshop in the future!

    When you exported to JPEG did you select the "Export Selection" or the "Export Page" option?
    What I do with InDesign for web images is I export to PDF first.
    Then I open that in Photoshop - you can elect the size of the image to crop to and the resolution.
    Then save from there.
    I have never liked InDesigns export of jpegs, they come out horrible in my opinion.

  • Why did  an email comfirming my "purchase" for what is supposed to be a free app? A popular news site

    Why did I get an email from apple confirming my "purchase" for what is a free app? A popular news site/app

    You get them for free Apps as well as paid Apps, just the way it is.
    You at least have a record of what has been downloaded that way.

  • I have a problem with a previous purchase and sign in is required. However, the card is no longer in use and so no money can be billed from it. I need to add a new card so that the money can be taken from that card instead. It's from a different country

    I have an Australian card associated with itunes and the App Store. However, I am no longer in Australia and I wish to change my country of residence and card to the UK/English. When I try to change country, it says there's a problem with a previous purchase, meaning I have no money on the Australian card and therefore the previous purchase cannot be billed.
    The only way I can pay for the previous purchase is by adding an English card but it won't let me do this.
    Does this mean I have to somehow put money on the old Australian card to pay for the previous purchase? Or is there a way I can transfer the bill to an English new card?
    Cheers guys
    Arron

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • Why are the 3 tracks I bought on iTunes a yr ago are missing from the track list just imported from a CD of the whole album ?

    1st time question on here...I bought 3 songs off iTunes from the album Feedback by Jurassic 5 last year and those songs are in my librabry. Sometime later I purchased the whole album but on CD. Tonight when I imported the CD and it asked to replace existing duplicates and I said yes. Now I have two identical albums of Feedback in my library. One album has the tracks I bought from ITunes the second has all the tracks but the ones I bought from itunes. When I select to play either albums only the tracks listed play not the whole orignal album. How do I correct this? I want one album listed with all the orignal tracks. Also i'd preffer to keep the apple lossless version i imported from the CD - not the ITunes version. Thanks folks

    I have a similar problem , where I had a cd I imported then bought a bonus track on iTunes not on the cd but belonging to the same album, but iTunes showing it to me as 2 separate albums.
    My iTunes on the computer now shows it as 1 album, but when I sync it to me device it is still 2 albums and the album with the 1 song asks me if I want to complete it.
    Sorry I have no solution yet, I just wanted to share that I too have a similar problem.

  • Why did eclipse add a CLASSPATH variable to my system?

    After recently installing eclipse I discovered that while I can still compile normally I was getting NoClassDefFoundError running java from my command prompt.
    After some puzzlement and wondering if I had gone crazy I noticed the new environment variable CLASSPATH.
    Two questions.
    1) Why?
    2) Can I get rid of it safely or will that give eclipse upset?

    I recently installed two things. Eclipse andiTunes
    (but only because I
    wanted QuickTime). So I guess it was iTunes. Howvery bizarre.
    Just out of curiosity: what was the value of that
    CLASSPATH variable?
    kind regards,
    JosUmm I already deleted it but it was pointing to
    something javaish. I think something in the lib/extActually I still had a command window open and env said this
    CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
