• cannot import images into lightroom cc using Mac

  everything I try to import images of the map, I get a message that says lightroom could not read image. The card reader works because I can import pictures from another app like iPhoto.

  The most common problem for errors "failed to read", it's that your destination folder has WRITE permissions added.

  In your LR import dialog box, verify that the destination folder is where you want it to be and correctly spelt.

  Then, using the Finder, go to this folder and make sure that your username has both READ and WRITE access to this folder and its parent.

• Impossible to import images with lightroom 6 and el capitan?

  Why can I import images into Lightroom 6 with El Capitan?

  What can I do?

  Again, what is the file system (i.e. How is it formatted) used on the

  external drive? Go to the Apple menu, select "about this Mac", click

  "System report", in the report that you get, go to hardware and select

  storage. Report what it says on your external drive to "File System" and

  whether it's writable. It looks like your external may be formatted as

  NTFS, which would make unwritable on a Mac. It should say "logged".

  "HFS +".

  Thank you for your reply,

  .. .my full goofiness.

  I managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom, when importing images and not able to copy the 'position' (or as indicated in the right panel, 'destination').

  Then adjusted my destination folder and am back to import as usual.

  From now there no Plugin in Lightroom to import images from Apple Photos in Lightroom.

  However please take a look in the following thread: photos stored in the News Photos Apple can quickly transferred to Lightroom? I am not at all satisfied with this new Apple 'fix'.

• Lightroom opens not sometimes, and when it does, cannot import images

  I have Lightroom CC.  I am extremely frustrated.  I had it on my old laptop, and everything was pretty good.  I have a new computer.  I loaded Lightroom on it.  I can't import my card images CF.  It does not recognize my external drive where I keep my Lightroom folder.  It recognizes the card (sometimes) like Lexar, instead of the previous Canon.  Sometimes the set preview to the point sometimes images not.  I was advised (and I probably should not have done this) to restore the original preferences.  Yes, I did.  Still nothing.  I thought that maybe I didn't have enough space on my external hard drive.  I imported AN image, and he did it very well.  Then, I could not go back to the library.  I'm SO tired of seeing that stupid small circle and waiting, hoping that he'll do something. I have a wedding to shoot in a few weeks and am terrified that I won't be able to download one of my photos.  I'm ready to tear my hair as before the update of Windows (not sure who had nothing to do with anything, maybe a coincidence), everything seemed to work (on my old computer) very well.  Had not really begun to do anything on my new up to our days, when the old one was.  I'm so confused at this minute I don't know what to do or who to ask.  FOR INFO.  I have a Canon 5 d and 5 d Mark IV.  I know that, for some time, the Mark IV would not import into Lightroom.  I had no problems with the 5 d, but now I am.  I import to an external hard drive to a CF card reader, traditionally.  Now, NOTHING works properly, and I am not technically savvy enough to understand or understand have the solutions I've read online.  I'm afraid to try the download of Mark IV, too.  I need HELP!

  First of all, make sure you are updated to 2015.7, which is required for the 5 d Mark IV.

  Go to help > about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to see what version you have.

  If it's something less than 2015.7, you need to update.

  First of all, try help > updates. If this does not work, download the update 2015.7 here:

  Update of Lightroom

  After a successful 2015.7 update, you should be able to import from your camera.

• Cannot import photos into Lightroom

  I have a new macbook air. I downloaded pictures from a memory card to the laptop. They are there when I go to 'Photos' on my mac. However, when I try to import into Lightroom, nothing. Under my name, I have various applications folders, desktop, documents, pictures, etc.. But when I go in the photos, I can't find the pictures I want to import... I'm quite new to photos on mac and certainly new to Lightroom, but I'm confused as to how to include my photos under the "Source" option when I try to import into Lightroom. What I am doing wrong?

  If you upload to 'Photos' on your Mac, they will not appear in Lightroom.  Photos from Apple and Adobe Lightroom do not play well together.  You must export the images of 'Photos' in a folder on your Mac before you can import into Lightroom.

• I use CF disks and Smart Media/xd 3 cameras when you import images into Lightroom. Get weird file extensions. Appreciate the advice.

  At a recent wedding, I used 3 different cameras and 2 types of media cards. A type is a standard CF 2 GB and the other is a 2 GB Smart Media/xo.  They imported with file extensions such as 001 - 3.jpg, 002 - 4.jpg, some files are named correctly, 003, 006.  That this has something to do with the help of different cameras.  How prevent you getting the or - 1-2 after a number of digital file. I'm sure there's an easy answer and I do not have something good, but it drives me crazy.

  There are already files with the name you are trying to write to the disk, so Lightroom trying to do the right thing to stop overwriting of files and adds a number to the file, so it has a different name.

  Be more aware of your image sequence that import you will help prevent it.

• Not able to re - import images into Lightroom CC

  I use Lightroom CC.  I had a disk failure and had to move all my data on a new disc. Now it does not open these files, but when I try re - import it tells me that they are already in the library.  How can I get LR to re-recoginize the existing data?

  [Branched to a previous discussion]

  Import (or re-import) the photos is not the way to do it. Not only it will not solve the problem, it could make the problem worse.

  Instead, you point Lightroom at the new location of the photos. See these instructions (especially Figure 4 and associated text): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing
