How to import photos into Lightroom?  I get an error every time.

I tried to import pictures from my camera card, on desktop and my "photos" on my Mac.  I get an error every time which includes: not able to copy a file to the requested location.  Help, please!

Make sure you have the destination (TO - the column on the right in the import screen) set to a location where you have write privileges on your computer. The level of the root of your hard drive is usually not writable with the standard user on mac os X configuration. Generally, you want something like the pictures folder in your home (/Users/photos) directory.

  • To import Photos into Lightroom

    I'm unable to import photos into lightroom on my Mac 5. It will be the first segment of unit import photos and the last bit, but leave out the middle section of photos. I thought it was because I changed the settings on my camera one day and those pictures of that day could not be imported, but it did just the same thing when I tried to import photos from my iPhone. It would incorporate pictures from October and December, but none since November. I tried to uncheck "do not import suspected duplicates", but which did not help either. I can import these pictures on my computer, but not in Lightroom. Lightroom is how I organize and classify all my photos, so it is a big problem for me. How can I fix?

    2. Go to your operating system and change the permissions on this exact directory have WRITE permission.

  • Importing photos into Lightroom CC

    I always had problems trying to import my photos into Lightroom. I have read many articles on it and watched many tutorials, and none of them does not seem to work for me. I'm working on a Mac OS (El Capitan) and I use the Photos App on my computer. I take photos for a living, and I want some "records" of the Photos App to import into Lightroom so I can change, so I want to save them back in the 'File' or 'Album' from the Photos App. I'm frustrated that there is no means to achieve and that Lightroom is so different from Photoshop and other items.

    If someone could help with this, I'd appreciate it greatly - thank you!

    Hi shelbys.

    Well, you cannot migrate your images directly from App Photos in Lightroom as opening.

    You export your App Photos images and save it somewhere on the machine, then Lightroom would be able to see your images and can add/import your images into the software so that you can edit them later.

    In addition, you can refer to the same discussion: Re: How do I import photos into Photos of Yosemite Mac app LightroomCC?

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Get random errors every time I try to run some programs/Installer

    So whenever I try to run something I downloaded for example: microsoft .NET framework, I get the error "could not find the volume of extraction of the file. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions. »

  • Get profile error every time

    If I'm away from my computer and come back, FF will not update all pages. Just, he sits and turns. The spinner is not green. If I close FF and try to open it again, I get a message already running", then an error message saying that my profile is not found. I did a total refresh to create a new profile, but exactly the same thing happens again every time. I have to restart my computer every time I'm missing for more than 10 minutes because FF will not regenerate no label if I let is sit for 10 minutes. This all started after the last update. I guess the update looks like a uninstall and reinstall. Of course, I lose all my add - it whenever I do it. Very frustrating. Help.

    Hello Rex,

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.
