Lightroom can't import files because they could not be read (156)

I get this message while downloading a new batch of images. I have 156G of space on my computer a suggestion when this issue to research suggested that my computer doesn't have enough room. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi crossfiteb,

This error means that the destination location doesn't have enough permissions for the images to be copied or moved above.

Make sure that the destination location under 'FOR' top-right in the import window is correctly selected and has full read and write.

Concerning

  • RAW of Nikon D7000 import fail - error: the following files were not imported because they could not be read.

    I'm on a Mac under OS X 10.11.

    I connect the camera via USB, open Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC (2015 2.1 - Camera Raw 9.2), click on the button import and display all the. NEF files on the camera.  I check 'in the subfolder"and it by default selects 'by date' with 'Format for a Date' 2015/10 which I accept.  I then select the collection that I want to add to, define rule change in file name and click on the import button blue with all the selected photos.

    Import does not work and I get the error: the following files were not imported because they could not be read.

    I read in the forums and many people claim that this is due to a problem with file permissions.  The is not the case here.  I am logged in as myself, running Lightroom like myself (the process of Lightroom is held by me) and my entire repertoire belongs to me, including the "2015/10" record he would write in.  In addition, I can manually enter this directory and manually create and delete files and folders with no problems.

    So the foregoing proves no problem licensing insofar as the operating system and the file system is concerned, and also proves that this is a specific problem with Lightroom.  Why is it not work?  I pay several hundred dollars a year for a subscription of CC; I need this job.

    The error was due to permissions of file after all.  When you import media, must be very carefully considered defects of menu import gear - if you "subfolder" selected, look at the setting for "Destination Folder" - in my case, it was set to ""/ "."  This is the root directory, so it's obvious standard user level permissions won't allow files to be written here, or I wanted to have whatever it is put into memory.  It was particularly easy to miss because it's only a simple slash.  Once I set the destination folder to a location in my directory, import worked well.

  • The following files were not imported because they could not be read

    My brand new Macbook Pro and CC membership doesn't let me import the photos. I get the message "the following files are not imported because they could not be read." I think that this can only happen with jpg. All the patches?

    This is a permissions problem. In the import window, select another Destination folder and make sure that your username has write permissions for the folder that you select...

  • The following could not be imported because they could not be read

    Hi all

    I have been using lightroom 5.7.1 for a month now with no problems until today.  I tried to import photos and it keeps "the following could not be imported because they could not be read."  I haven't changed anything with my camera or a computer, I tried to put the photos on my computer and a card reader.  I can view the photos outside of Lightroom, so I know that they are not damaged.  Exteremly frustrated right now, any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Paul

    This message means that you don't have WRITE permission on the destination folder.

    Thus, in the dialog box import to Lightroom, take note of this folder is selected under 'Destination' on the right. Then in your operating system, go to this exact folder and change permissions of WRITING.

  • Message "files were imported not because they could not be read" when importing from an SD card

    I use CC/creation of Lightroom clouds for several months now and no problems. All of a sudden I get a message saying that the file I am trying to import my SD card could not be read, so I'm unable to import new photos in my catalog. I was importing images using the same SD card and the camera without any problems in the past. I use Mac OS X El Capitan. Any ideas? Thank you.

    The most common cause of this error is a lack of privs to WRITING on the destination folder. Using the Finder, make sure that you have READ and WRITE privs on your destination folder tree.

  • LR Photo import from the camera all of a sudden does not (5.7.1) - says "some import operations were imported not because they could not be read."  Work on another computer and the version on the same computer but not newly LR 4.3 installed LR 5.7.1 cm³ 2

    As above, all of a sudden, on a single computer I can not download from the Canon 50 d or 70 D in LR 5.7.1.  It will download on another computer, as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3).  As soon as I put on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "the catalog named Lightroom ' catalogue Lightroom 5" cannot open another application already opened it. "It's a cold start, so I'm not sure what's going on.

    "Could not be read" means that you do not have a WRITE permission in the destination directory, then change your permissions.

    "Another application already has its opening" can be solved by removing the .lock file in the same folder as your catalog file.

  • LR 4.4: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read".

    I installed 4.4 Lightroom on my iMac nine about 1.5 months ago. I was able to import files of 4 - 5 times during the first month, and then the last 3 times I've tried, I get 681 error that says that the file cannot be read. I use fairly common files. ORF of my Canon 5 d Mark II. I also tried to get a Fuji X100S and a Fuji XPro1 files.

    I have not installed anything on this machine VSCO lightroom presets, who also has worked on earlier imports.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi, Scott - I hope this is the solution - I found your question because I had the same problem. Now that is resolved, I vaguely remember do this for me in the past, as well.

    This is the solution that sets this caveat for me.

    Somehow, I had changed the DESTINATION "save file in" in orders to one folder other than the user.  Once I corrected the file to download in the file named my computer (instead of another user or space in the computer), it was very good.

    I had managed to save elsewhere besides the sport_000 user profile (my profile).   I don't remember where I got fat fingers, but it's the second or third time I've done it for me over the years.

    I hope this helps.

  • "The following files were imported not because they could not be read.

    I am under Lightroom 4 version 4.4 on an iMac with El Capitan version 10.11.4.

    Until yesterday, I was able to import my pictures (taken on a Nikon D5100) directly from the SD card that contains the RAW images.

    Since yesterday I have brancher plug in the SD card, launch Lightroom and ask to import.  This card has some previous pictures that have been imported successfully last month.  The overview screen shows all the files of photos already imported (including some that have been deleted after the initial import.  It doesn't show the most recent photos I've taken.  When I click on the button import, I find myself with the message noted above in the subject.  This message lists all the 'new' files and records that had previously been imported (but removed later.

    I also have a second SD memory card with recently took pictures and I tried to transfer to this card.  Same results.  The excerpts show, essentially, on the preview window, but when I ask to import, the same message appears in the end.

    I have read various posts on the community pages and other sources.  It seems that most people have a problem with permissions, but I checked the read source information for the files of individual pictures, the folder and the SD card and all permissions are read and write.  I then checked the destination read the information for the external hard drive I use (and have done successfully for months), the destination and subfolders and all folder permissions read and write as well.

    In the form of import in Lightroom, I tried to change the Destination Folders both pictures and News Photos without success.  I tried clicking off don't Import suspected duplicates without success.

    I'm now at my wit's end.

    What else can I try?

    Then you have a problem with the external hard drive and or the electronics of the enclosure. Time to take another and copy, if you can, your new external image files.

    I've never used Toshiba external systems. I have used several WD external systems over the years and spent at Seagate are about 2 years and recently got a couple of external Samsung USB 3 SSD.
