Lightroom :: Unable To Import Pictures From Camera Or Any Other Location
Sep 8, 2013
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.
I have just installed LR3 on my new computer and is unable to upload my photographs. I have change permissions as suggested in other forums, it recognises my Nikon D3 and shows the pictures but when I try to import I get the following message "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" I have LR3 on my laptop and it works fine.
I am trying to upload my pictures into lightroom5 and it won't upload my files.. I keep getting this.. "The following files were not imported because they can't be read.. I just got lightroom a few days ago and it was working fine......
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 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 imported pictures to Adobe Lightroom and exported them to my memory card. Now my memory card is broke! Is there any way to retrieve those pictures from Lightroom. Right now they are saying missing.
I cannot upload pictures from my camera, Canon 7D, into Pnotoshop 10. I recently had Photoshop 7 and had no problems. I do seem to be able to upload pics from a thumbdrive.
I am trying to download pictures in folders and sub folders into the LR catalog. The import brings all the pics in the subfolders over but when II click on the parent folder it shows not pictures or number of pictures in it.
I just purchased Lightroom 5 to replace Lightroom 3. I assumed that all settings would be carried into Lightroom 5, so I imported some new pictures wiothout checking the destination. They are now in the Lightroom Catalog, but not where the remainder of my pictures are. Is there a way that I can move them to the desired location?
When I try to import photos from a camera or files I get this message The ODBC data source reported the following error: (internal error;data not found)
Why am I getting the error message and is there another way to import?
I am unable to import raw files to E11 from my Panasonic Lumix 200. I get a response that says "nothing imported - no supportive file types" also "can't complete request as file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of Camera raw". I think I understand that I need at least a 7.2 version and don't know what I have. The camera is a fairly recent model.
Since Windows normally places the pictures on a typical drive as "My Pictures" about four or five levels down from the root, any effort to import picture files into Lightroom requires multiple clicks to drill down to the "My Pictures" then (for example) year, month, date, etc.
Can I define a location as the default starting point to find the pictures? I don't see how to put that into presets. Or can a key shortcut be created to go straight to c:/users/name/mypictures/2013/April15 etc?
Let's say a have a buch of photos that have beeen taken at the same spot at different times. The pictures are scattered across the fimstrip and might even belong to different collections in the same catalog (or even different catalogs?). What is the best way to assign the same GPS coordinates to all these pictures using Map screen?
Of course, the direct way to do that is to carefully select all these photos in the filmstrip and then click the desired location on the map. This is problematic for more reasons than one. Firstly, it is difficult to scroll through the entire strip and pick out the pictures one by one. Secondly, if I acccidentally miss one or two pictures, I have to start all over again.
The better way would be some sort of copy-paste appproach: copy the desired location into the clipboard (from another image or straight from the map) and then paste it over the desired images one by one or, better, over groups of images. One feature that at first looks promising in this regard is the text entry field on the right that contains the GPS coordinates in text form. It is editable, meaning that I can copy the coordinates (in text form) from one image and paste it into the same field of another image. However, this unfortunately does not guarantee that the images will end up with identical locations: the image that received new coordinates might (and will) end up with a slightly different location on the map that the "donor" image. This means that the coordinates are stored internally with better precision than their representation in that text entry field.
I am unable to import pictures from an iPhone into a fresh install of Elements Organizer 12 which was installed on a brand new installation of Maverics on our iMac. I receive a nasty looking error. Are there any known issues? I would think there would have to be known issues as both my Organizer installation and Mavericks version is freshly installed.
How would one set up a default import location, such as a directory below "My Pictures" or a flash drive? I don't see a way to create a macro or a preset that would step straight into a directory holding new images. In Windows, there are about six or eight levels from the top of the hierarchy to a location below My Pictures. There should be a way to automate the source location.
I am trying to change my default import location on my MAC Pro Tower, to one of the internal HD's. I have named the HD Photo Location, and have created a folder in it called it "My Lightroom Photos". I have been able to create this, but cannot seem to ber able to make it my default when I open LR 3.5. I have to manually go in and change it. Is there a way that this can be changed to make it my default?
I use LR 5 and I cannot seeme to get my location data imported when I import my photos. The data is there because it show up in PS Bridge but it is not in the metadata record in Lightroom and the map module cannot find it. I looked through all of the setting and I found nothing that would preclude location from being loaded.
I am adding them to my LR catalogue, and while moving them to one external drive, also copying the files to a backup drive.
The files are named and put in the correct folder on the main drive, but the photos backed up to the second drive are put in a folder called "Imported on October 6, 2012".
Cannot import files into LR 4.4 or LR5 - get this message: ""Some important operations were not performed - Could not copy file to requested location" I could import files a week ago and can do it with LR3 Using an iMac LR4.4 works on the MacPro - maybe the desktop?
Lightroom 4 can no longer see the pictures on my SD card when I insert it into my computer. The photos are definately on there, when I right click and press 'show in finder' they are all right there, yet Lightroom can't see them - it show '0 Photos' on the memory card tab .
I played around moving pictures from sub folders on the SD card to the first level (which didn't make a difference), and checked read/write permissions (which all seem fine).
Gear:
-IMac, OS X v10.7.5, Intel Core i5. -Nikon D5000 -Mix of SanDisk and PNY Professional memory cards (all have pictures on and Lightroom cant see any!)
I am unable to download any pictures to Lightroom 4. I use Lightroom every day and never had any problem before and suddenly 2 days ago Lightroom stopped working! I even download Lightroom 5 but got the same problem! What should I do?
With my Imac (Osx 10.8.3) and L 4.4 the Pictures folder is frozen. I can acces pictures but I can not import new pictures or delete or remane or move. It looks like the Pictures folder is locked. I can do everything if I move up the the "Myname" Folder. both version L4.4 and Imac are in French.
I'd like to purchase Lightroom 4. I used the Beta version and now have the Testversion in use. Since I'm using a Mac Computer and and iPad, I'd like to continue to USe iPhoto to share my pictures with the TV and other Apple products. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a nice workflow - means how to import pictures in raw, work with them in Lightroom and than finally export as jpg and ideally import automatically into iPhoto. Not sure how to do it and I'm wrestling with the iPhoto libary.
When exporting from iphoto, should picture quality be medium, large or maximum? Want quality pictures, but can tell exporting process will take a long time. Imagine importing to lightroom 5 will take a long time, too. Have 40,000 pictures.
I am not able to publish my pictures on Face Book, after dng conversion , its not letting the face book album to publish on wall, its not letting the dng photos, the errormessage coming that "cant upload to the facebook album named cover photos please make sure the adobe photoshop lightroom app has permission to upload with the privacy level off this album''.
we have checked the privacy level is ok, the light room is not permitting to publish the photos on the wall, it only comes as cover photo,
