Why does lightroom 5 do not read or can't find my raw files when I'm trying to import my images from my camera to light room

It just started happening out of the ordinary. I had a photo shoot done today. I came home plugged my camera usb to my mac lap top and tried to import my raw files as i usually do into light room 5 to edit my images. This time the same error message popped up stating it couldn't read or my files weren't found over and over again. Neither the new ones nor the old pictures was able to import them. Please Help!

I just bought Lightroom and have the same problem - MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.1. LR actually displays the photos properly when previewing but fails when starting the import. Also, a couple of times it would start but would hang up. I think it may be a Yosemite problem. I was having trouble importing with Aperture too. The fail message from LR was:
The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (6)
    IMGP7941.JPG
    IMGP7942.JPG
    IMGP7944.JPG
    IMGP7943.JPG
    IMGP7945.JPG
    IMGP7946.JPG
I can copy the folder from the camera to my desktop and then import. That works but of course I shouldn't have to do that.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Lightroom does not import my images from 70d camera sd card when there is video on it

    I am attempting to import images into Lightroom 5 from a wedding that was shot on a 70d canon camera and recorded to an sd memory card. There are also two short videos (less than 2 minutes each) on the card. Lightroom acts as if it is importing with the progress bar showing but it just hangs there and nothing gets imported. I even tried unchecking the two videos but still nothing. I had no trouble importing images when I didn't have any videos on the card.

    I have the very same problem. I only noticed it in LR 5.4/5.5. If there are any videos on the card, then Lightroom is unable to see or import any of the RAW files on it. I currently have to import the videos, disconnect the camera, delete the video files, and reattach it before Lightroom can see the CR2 files. This was not an issue in Lightroom 5.2/5.3 as far as I know. I have not changed SD cards or anything else other than upgrading to Lightroom 5.4 (and later 5.5 when I found the problem). Any help is appreciated.

  • Why does Lightroom 5.7 not show up as an update in the CC desktop app

    I got notified of LR5.7 and CR8.7 today in the CC desktop app. There was an update link for BridgeCC and PhotoshopCC but not for LR. If I open LR and check updates it knows about 5.7. WHY? What do I do?

    I have the same issue. It has happened before and I recall the "solution" was to uninstall and reinstall.
    That's not really a solution, and if it is, then what is the point of having a CC app anyway?
    If anyone from Adobe is monitoring these forums, please post a definitive solution. Or better yet, FIX THE BUG.
    One of the selling points of buying a CC subscription was that bug fixes would regular and automatic. Yet this bug has persisted since the beginning.

  • Why does lightroom not display photos ?

    Hello,
    all of a sudden lightroom tells me "no photo selected " when I try to open a folder.All the folders are visible but the photos cannot be displayed.I am using lightroom 4.1
    The last editing was done less then 12 hours ago without any problems.
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you very much,
    1journey

    Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
    Thank you kindly ,

  • Why does lightroom 2.7 keep making me import a folder?

    Every time I sync my Nikon Transfer folder to import my new pictures that I just loaded from my camera, a folder that I have already imported is included in the import. This folder and its contents are already in there. And lightroom agrees by telling me that it didn't import that folder because it already exsists. Why does lightroom try to import that folder in the first place?

    Beat,
    I'm not sure what you mean by that. I thought the folders viewed in Explorer and in Lightroom were one and the same. I think I see what you are getting at though. Perhaps if you were to change the name via Lightroom, the metadata gets changed in a way that causes Lightroom to think it needs to re-import. I don't change the names from the auto-generated sub folder that Nikon Transfer creates - which is the date and time using all numerals.
    I think I am just going to copy this sub folder to somewhere else, delete the original, re-import it and see what happens.  I will might lose all my raw edits in the process, but I have already delivered the finished jpegs to my client.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • TS1702 why does my iphone 5s not display apps to my jvc car stereo, when the same apps work with my 4s?

    why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo.  these apps worked with my iphone 4s?

    Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
    You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
    Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
