Lightroom :: Files Couldn't Be Imported Because They Could Not Be Read
May 20, 2012
I just installed Lr4 on my laptop. When I plug in my Nikon D7000 and try to import photos, I just get a message "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read". Then it lists the file names of the various files. Message displays regardless if I try .NEF or .JPEG files. The photos appear in the library module, so I know Lr is pulling them from the correct place (camera). When I plug the camera into my desktop PC where I also have Lr installed, all works fine.
I'm now getting the error message: "The following files were not imported because they could not be read (189)." Not sure why this would appear after years of successfully importing.
This message comes up when I try to import to light room. A box comes up that says "Import Results" then the error message shows with a group of file numbers that wouldn't import.
After importing into LR3, I get an error message that says: Some import operations were not performed. The following files could not be copied to the backup location.
Then there is a list of images (usually all of the photos imported). This didn't always happen and I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. My LR catalog and backups are stored on an EHD.
I am currently saving all of my metadata to files (just to be sure) and backing up my catalog so I can upgrade to LR5 (already purchased) but want to be sure my catalog is good before I do that.I've tried everything I know - checking my backup location and drive in LR window match up.
Every-time I try either of these I get windows cannot locate Adobe_lightroom_x64.msi...I copied that file from the installation but lightroom refuses to use it!I tried deleting all the fold files for lightroom and still couldn't remove the program!!!
I'm photographer and this problem is killing me! I really need this program working!I tried disabling my antivirus real time protection(avira) and tried some of the forum methods but nothing still works! I'm using administrator for installing and set permissions correctly nothing works!
What's the best way to wipe a previous adobe installation?When I try to uninstall I get error 1714. Lightroom 3.6 installs fines. If I try to install regular lightroom 4, it only immediately converts to lightroom 4.1 installation?!??!?! I already converted my catalog folder to lightroom 4...
I am having problems all of a sudden importing my RAW files into Lightroom. I have been doing nothing different and have been using the same equipment.It just says that it can't read the files.
I just bought the Olympus pen 5 camera and my current version 3 won't read the raw file ( orf) i can convert using dng converter but that is a pain and added steps. IF 5.2 recognizes orf directly in lightroom?
Recently I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now cannot upload photos into LR 4.3 unless I first upload them into my labtop that has LR 3, then export as a Cataloge .
I recently upgraded from a mac mini to a macbook pro retina using migration assistant and time machine backup. All went well, and since all my photos were on an external drive, no problems there. However, when I try to import new photos, I see the images, but then get a list of the .CR2 files and an error message of "unable to read files." This is a Sandisk Extreme 16 GB SD card, and it still successfully works on the old mac. Following a similar issue in the forum, I checked permissions, and those appear to all be correct. I'm running LR 4.4.
I get a "could not be read" msg while trying to import NEF files to my new iMac. Running 10.7.4 and LR4.1, Camera Raw 7. It doesn't happen every time. To date, the only solution is to restart my computer and then I'm able to import the image files.
I tried to import files for the first time and LR 4.3 said they can't be read. I've already had difficulty with the install not working on my user account so I had to set up a new one for LR to work and now this.
Lightroom will not read Nikon D800 NEF files. I have updated lightroom twice, first to 4.1 and second to 4.2 and in neither case would the files import. I have read several forum entries that say these files are compatible with Lightroom and/or to update Lightroom.
just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them. I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files?
I am doing some editing work for a magazine. The lead editor had issues with adobe camera raw viewing some of my edits. The xmp files are there but for some reason they are not loading. We narrowed it down to just the Nikon D4 files. I just had her download a trial version of LR4 and we are getting the same issue. The xmp's are there in the same folder as the .nef files. Import into Lightroom, and all D4 files do not show my edits.
We are both running Lightroom 4.3, Camera Raw 7.3.
I'm going to buy LR4. There are some old ircat files and catalogues created by LR 1.4 version. I wonder if it is possible to read these old catalogues by LR4?
I can't get Lightroom3.4.1 to read Samsung's raw files. in sRGB or adobeRGB. This is the new NX 200. But since it is supposed to support NX100, one would think NX 200 should be the same format. The samsung converter makes for a clumsy workflow.
I installed a lightroom 4.2 and i was about to import my pictures but lightroom cant read my files in my computer. It can read files but those files are from years ago. I wonder why my recent files cant read. I dont know what to do. I already reinstalled it but then again its still the same. I dont think it was on the installing the lightroom but i am suspecting that it has something to do with the catalog?
I have LR loaded on my MacBook Pro and everything was alright in terms of LR operation. I use a 5D MKII camera and always shoot in RAW (CR2). I always download images from the Card to the HDD and then import it to LR. However, CR2 Raw files are not getting imported and I am getting the following error message - "The files appear to be unsupported or damaged".
I can still import other files like .tiff and .jpg files.
I have used Lightroom for awhile and now I cant import any images. I recently got a new camera (D600) and thought that that was the problem but i cant get any images to import. Even form my D7000. I have checked my disc permissions and updated everything i can. What am I missing? I keep receiving an error message 535 files cannot be read. I am however able to import images onto my desktop and into Apeture....
I bought a Nikon D600 but am unable read the NEF files read with my version of Lightroom 3 that runs on an older Mac Book which cannot be upgraded to LR4. If I buy a new Mac, can I upgrade to LR4 on the new machine or do I have to purchase a new version? If I can upgrade how do I transfer LR3 to the new machine. Also, I have a student version of Photoshop CS5 Extended. Can I purchase an upgrade to CS6 on a new machine?
In doing research I saw where both Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 had some problems with Apple's OS X 10.8. Have these been resolved yet?
I'm using 5.3 with OS 10.8.5. Out of the blue I cannot import photos. I've experienced two things: at first the application would seemingly hang-up indefinitely as if were going to import, but nothing happened. I tried importing everything on the card (100~ images) and just one photo. Now I'm getting the following message:
The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (1)
I've restarted my computer, tried running only LIghtroom, etc.
