Lightroom :: 5.3 Import Failed - Cannot See Camera To Retry
Jan 2, 2014
Let's start with my setup. I am on an iMac running Mavericks, which has been loaded since the first day of relesae. I have been using Lightroom with my camera since then with no sign of trouble and my camera is a Nikon D7000. I am not a newbie to Lightroom.
Here's what happened. Started Lightroom, plugged in D7000, turned camera on, went to Import screen. Unchecked a few images, created a folder for them to go to, applied 'Auto Tone' & copyright, did not rename the images. Hit Import. Then window pops up (which I didn't make a note of because I thought I could try it again) says error with the folowing files 1-100 (with checkbox) 101-200 with checkbox etc. So closed it out. No images were imported. Went back to Import only to see that the camera is not being seen at all, not even a camera error message.
So, I did the folowing things. I have restarted Lightroom, turned the camera on/off, disconnected/reconnected the camera in a variety of situations such as, before app launch & after app launch. I even tried to import via Bridge but no camera. Did I mess up the Camera profiles?
When I upgraded my LR4 catalogue to LR5, a book collection failed to import. What can I do to fix this problem so that I can continue working on the book project in LR5?
Just tried to import file sinto a brand new LR Catalog when I got this message...here's the entire error message: "An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (98)" Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed
this was then followed by a list of files of these types:
I receive an "Import failed" message when trying to import my iPhoto library to my trial version of PE11. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and using iPhoto 11. I have tried 4 or 5 times now with the same result.
i just bought canon d70 i have camera set for raw and jpeg, lightroom 4 updated and set to treat jpegs seperatly, but it isnt seeing my cr2, it knows its there but says preview not available unable to import this file type
I have been using Lightroom 5 happily for several months with no problems. A few weeks ago, I started getting the message at the import screen that previews were not available. This was OK, I just guessed on which I needed to import.
Starting last week, I cannot import files from either of my cameras. On the import screen, when it is trying to find files, it just hangs up. Have let it go for half an hour and nothing. When I click "cancel", I get the message that Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I have tried purging the cache, though I'm not sure it is working, as I never get any message that the purge has been successfully completed. I click the button and nothing happens. I have tried starting a new catalog in case my other one is too big (approx 14,000 images), but same problem. I have tried installing the beta 5.2 version, still same problem.
I would love a solution to this, as for now I am having to import the NEF files by just dragging them to a folder on my desktop, and then importing the files from that folder into lightroom (when importing from folders on the computer, I have no problems).
When I upload in i-photo I get a prompt asking me if I want to delete the photos from my camera. How do you do this in Lightroom?
Also, when in Lightroom can you 'safely remove or unmount' your camera from your computer? I have a mac and am not sure how to safely remove my camera when I'm not in i-photo.
I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked. Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard. how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?
I like using Bridge to import my photos but also like to use LR5. After I organize and edit in camera raw I want to import (ADD) the adjusted photos into LR5. Problem is the adjustments dont import into LR. The original raw DNG is imported without the fixing that I did.
I have Lightroom 3 version 3.6 installed on my MacBook. I just upgraded to OS X10.8.2. Now when I try to import raw images from my Nikon D3100 camera I get images to preview but after I select images to import and then select "import" I receive error messages and then a notice that there are no images to import. The import function then totally shuts down.
I also just downloaded the most current version of Java Run. How do I fix this problem?
All of a sudden LR4 will not import my images from camera card, whereas I-Photo has no problem. I get the message " Some import operations were not performed. the following files were not imported because they could not be read (all images on the card are listed). I have re-downloaded LR 4 and restarted my mac (OSX 10.8.5). LR also will not let me import the same images from I-Photo , it gives the same message as when using the camera card..
I am unable to import pictures from my camera or any other location. The following message appears:"Import Results..Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read (1):..I tried this and does not work
"Generally, when things work at first and then suddenly stop working, the problem is with the preference files. These tell Lightroom how to behave and if something goes wrong with them, it tells the program to behave in a way that causes errors.
We'll want to recreate the preference file. Simply delete, rename, or move the file while Lightroom is closed and then reopen. On launch, Lightroom attempts to read this file for instructions, if it not there a new one is created with all default settings.
Everytime I try to install a camera raw update it (I need it to be able to see my images in bridge, etc.) I get completely through the installation process only to receive an "installation failed" message. how to get around this?.
Camera Raw import filter for Nikon D800 NEF files in LR 3.6? I believe LR 4.1 supports this file type natively, but I am not yet ready to update to 4.1.
I can, however read these files in Adobe P-Shop CS5 and Bridge CS5.
For my particular workflow, I find that loading thumbnails as step 1 of the import process to not be of much value for me.
I would prefer to load all images from the camera CF card directly into my "Import" folder in Lightroom without having to first view and select images for import.
Step 2 for me would then distribute the images into other named folders in LR prior to the development, skipping the thumbnail phase of the process.
So, the Q: Is there any setting that allows importation into a selected folder in LR without first going through the thumbnail process?
Photoshop Elements 9 organizer...when I try to "save as" a .jpg file from editor to the organizer, I keep getting an error "Import Failed" file not supported or file already in organizer...been using this software for a long time..just started to happen...now it says this everytime I try to save anything..it will not let me put it in the organizer at all. What happened?
I'm trying to build my first catalog and keep getting an Import Failed on certain files. These are .jpg images and can be opend outsid eof PSE 12 just fine. I've looked at the image properties and they look fine (just as fine as images that are able to be imported). Is there anything that can be done? I'm trying to move off of Picasa and these images have been imported just fine into Picasa.
I am trying to setup some rules to print various PDF files which we have managed to do without any problems.
The bit I am stuck on is when one of the PDF files being saved is open by another user.
We have been able to error trap it when it is open by showing a message box on error asking them to close the file befopre continuing. The current message box being used is the Retry / Cancel box.
When the user clicks Retry we would like it to re-run the rule, or loops through the rule and check is the file is still open. If the file is open return the same error, and if the file has been closed save the PDF file. When Cancel is pressed it ends the rule (This Bit has been done).
My questions is how do I get the rule to re-run / loop through when the retry button is pressed.
Is it also possible to show the user who has the file open (or Previewing it in a Window Explorer)?
I have attached the Code currently Being used but I can post it here of preferred?
I can't import a vector from Corel Connect without either a crash or an invalid file format. The import is into PhotoPaint! It also says "The CDR converter has failed"
I'm an amateur moving up to LR 3 and have been trying to learn this program by reading the LR3 book by Scott Kelby. He shows that the Camera Calibration feature has some settings for specific cameras yet the drop down menu has none listed. I've upgraded to 3.6 and the images were copied from raw to DNG.
I am relatively new to Lightroom. I have imported Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 raw (.RW2) files into Lightroom 5.3. When I go into the Develop module under the Camera Calibration the only profile that shows up is Adobe Standard. My camera is supported according to the Adobe web site.
I have Lightroom 4 and as soon as I click to open the lightroom 4 application and message box pops up saying "assertion failed!" and then it doesn'tt open the program. I was working earlier but then my laptop has a bad battery and when I was editing in lightroom 4 my laptop shut off without warning (same thing as just pulling the power cable out of the outlet of a desktop when its on without shutting it off first). But anyways I have windows 7 and so I can get back to work. I was also hoping that I could fix this issue without erasing all the editing I did and all the pictures I have in lightroom.
I tried to import a FBX camera from Mocha v3 and noticed that there is no FBX selection under the Object Tab in Action. Is that coming on the next Pre-Release?
I've Created a droplet and tested it successfully in Photoshop, then I use this droplet by select it in Post-Processing when I export DNG to TIFF in Lightroom, but there's a problem:
1. If PS is not opened when I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet will work well, i'll get an processed TIFF
2. If PS is opened before I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet won't work, then I get an unprocessed TIFF
Due to Situation 1, if PS is not opened when I'm exporting images and I tried to exported 30 images with droplet, finally I'll get only ONE image successfully processed, because PS was opened when LR export the first image.
