import photos from desktop

Hi, I'm new to Lightroom. I used it only a handful of times. I recently imported some photos to a folder on my MAC laptop without problem. As I did it is by following this simple procedure... Open lightroom (or course) make sure Library tab is open, go to FILE IMPORT PHOTO, select the Source - Desktop folder with image inside. Click on IMPORT. Then open the mode develop and start to edit. Now that seemed easy enough, however, after that I finished working on a few photos and saved the new folder on my desktop, I then closed out of Lightroom, and then decided that there was another photo I wanted to bring in Lightroom and it works. That's where I got problems. When I reopened it Lightroom again once he opened right to the library again with the original photos, that I have worked with before and no way, no how could I find a way to start over using the above way to import a new picture. I tried for 2 hours. I'm embarrassed to say. I went in and out of lightroom repeatedly, I rebooted my laptop several times and for every and overtime, he took back me to the same area of the library. Also with different DIY, I could find all the different folders on my desk with my photos, but absolutely nothing happened when I clicked on one of them. I don't know why, this program must be if difficult just import a picture in it. Very frustrated at this point. Can someone help me by giving detailed advice on how to solve this problem. I have manuals, watched videos and none of them were able to help me because the program opens in a different way than this info describes. I've only used the program 5 - 6 times and it is a first time that happens. Thanking the group in advance for any help you can offer.

  • Recently impossible to import Photos from the digital camera or iPhone device

    In the past, whenever I have one of my digital cameras or an iPhone connected to my PC (Dell Inspiron 530 running on Windows Vista), the import box would jump to the top, I'd choose to import photos and everything worked without problem.  Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but recently I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2007 and installed Norton 360 and since then I'm unable to download pictures from my digital camera (Canon Powershot SD950 IS) or my iPhone.  The box "import photos" don't jump (it always did before), and when I go to the Picasa or Windows Photo Gallery and try to "import from camera", it tells me there is no connected device (this happens when the iPhone or the Canon camera is plugged).  And instead of the pealing sound, my PC would usually do when a device is correctly spiked, he made three low knock-type noises, as if to say the device was not properly read.  Interestingly, the iPhone still synchronizes / charges, etc., but I can't get on the photos.  I spent some time chatting with Norton Customer Support, because this issue has started only after that I installed Norton 360, but we have uninstalled Norton 360 (re - installed since) and the problem continued.  I tried several ports, and because this problem has affected at the same time my iphone and a digital camera, that work with any other son and USB ports, I'm pretty sure that this is not something simple like a bad port or wire.  I don't know if it's a matter of updating Windows Vista or what.  So now I'm scratching my head...

  • How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?

    Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo

    Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:

    Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos?  Just a heads-up.

    If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

    Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically

    in response to leonie

    OK, it worked for me on El Cap

    Open a terminal window

    Type the following in the terminal and press enter

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

    The exit of the terminal.

    Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

    If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

    This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.

    You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.

    Visit the link below to learn how to restore the default import settings.

    Method 2: Test of the issue on a new user account

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    Method 3:
    The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
