Lightroom will not import my photos

I can't Lightroom to import my photos. I get the error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read. (997)

My card is not corrupt.

I already checked my permissions, and they are set to read and write.

I tried to import directly from the camera and through my card readers - nada.

It just started this week. Who went once and when I tried again once, it worked. Now it won't work at all. Incredibly frustrating! I see others are having this problem with no answer... Help, please!

I'm on a Mac working on Lightroom CC.

In the import dialog box, make sure you have the Destination panel open. (This problem seems to be new in 6.1)

    Hi laura.garcia

    Please ensure that you have the Destination Panel, the value?

    Make sure it is on a valid location and you have read/write permissions to the location

    Also check that you have permission to write to your memory card

    Make sure that the Destination panel is expanded when you click Import.

    Hello

    You really need a little more information such as operating system, memory, etc.

    Usually a mistake like this happens because a background process is running and interfere with the available RAM, not enough virtual memory (Windows), drivers of HW obsolete or just an incomplete installation.

    Or, one of the biggest problems is add-ons in internet browsers.

    Alternatively, another problem of Lightroom, no sufficient permissions on the directory where you import image files.

    Please provide a little more information.

  • Lightroom will not import pictures more

    I used the same SIM card and shaped for a while and all of a sudden it will not import files... How can I solve this problem?

    This means that you don't have the appropriate permissions to the directory that attempts to copy your photos in Lightroom.

    To resolve this issue, you must determine the directory where Lightroom is trying to copy the photos to (in the import dialog on the right, this is the section named 'Destination'). Once you know which directory it is, you must change the permissions on this exact directory & read/write. If you do not know how to change the permissions, go to your favorite search engine and type change permissions Mac

  • After the migration, Lightroom will not import photos

    I just upgraded a MacBook Air to Macbook Pro and migrated my catalog on the Macbook Pro. When I open LR (I have creative cloud) I can access and edit my photos, but it is impossible to import new photos in the catalog. I reinstalled LR 5.7 and tried again.

  • 5 Lightroom will not import or export photos.  Solution you need?

    In fact, the error message means you are trying to overwrite the original images that are in Lightroom. Lightroom will refuse to do as you known here as it would leave the images in Lightroom in an inconsistent state. You simply select a location different export where are your original images.

    Note that this is inherent in the works of Lightroom. It is not a traditional image editor and you should not treat this way and try to crush your originals that you can do with Photoshop. When you want a file that reflects your changes, you export to a new location and use, and throw away when you are finished with them. You keep the originals intact and Lightroom will store the sequence of editing for you, then you can always return on your changes or new copies in any format or size you want to export.

  • CC of Lightroom does not import the photos and displays an error, backup also fails

    Hello

    I use Lightroom CC on Mac and I try to import images, but Lightroom is unable to do it this time for some reason any.

    During the last import Lightroom does not have the download of pictures and showed me the following notification: "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.

    As it stops it suggests to the backup catalog files and the following notification appears: "Lightroom could not save the catalog named XXX.". Check your folder permissions, and then make sure you have space on your rear disc and disc from the main catalogue.

    I have 2 TB of disk space available.

    I tried to import the camera and my computer, however it is unable to complete the import in two ways, just that several files have been imported and import fails. In each attempt to import files Lightroom creates temporary files with multidigital names.


    I restarted Lightroom, then my computer, then attempted to create another backup folder, nothing happens. Please help me.

    Thank you.

  • Photos will not import iPhone photos

    I'm trying to import pictures from my iPhone 5 s on my MacBook. However Photos will only recognize new pictures although I have hundreds that have not been imported on Photos or iPhoto. Image capture will not also recognize other photos on my phone. I have no idea how use AirDrop and am completely at a loss on how to get my pictures on my computer and my phone.

    It's a big question, Alicia. I lost of valuable photos, myself and always want to make sure that they are safe now.

    I'm sure you've seen these instructions before, but it also contains information on how you can share photos on all your devices using iCloud photo library. Import photos and videos from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

    If these are pictures that you already imported, with your iPhone connected to your MacBook Pro and the Photos app opened, under the "Import all new Photos" button on the top right, you should see a toggle button for "show all". When you click on that, it will display all photos that are found on your iPhone. You just choose the ones you want to import and then click the "Import # Selected" button where the ' # ' shows how many photos you have chosen to import.

    AirDrop is also a great way to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac. How to use AirDrop with your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

  • my laptop will not import my photos and my itunes doesn't sync new music

    I'm not sure that the question is my Iphone 5 or the laptop. When I plug my phone both the laptop and the phone between them pick up and my phone syncs automatically, however, my phone always wonder if I want to import new photos and then once I clicked on Yes, it says that no pictures are available. Also when you try to import pictures on an app on the phone, he could not pick up one of my recent photos.

    As well as what I downloaded some new music on my itunes on my laptop, however, given that I brought music apple songs downloaded on my itunes on my laptop will not sync and I don't know why. The phone syncs and always put my new music on the phone when it syncs, but it's their import is no longer automatically.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can copy photos manually from the film. It might sound like a somewhat random Folders collection.

    With Apple active any music that you add to your library becomes automatically available for you to download or listen to on your device. Music sync via USB, however.

    =============================
    Perhaps you could import the photos manually:

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

  • 6 Lightroom will not import files (not accessible writable)

    Hello

    I am currently flowing lightroom 6.7 and everytime I go to import the photos I get a notification saying that the photos cannot be copied to the destination folder because it is not writable. Screen Shot 2016-09-24 at 10.09.33 AM.png I've updated to the latest version of the software and all and the problem still occurs. All responses are greatly appreciated. (Shooting with a Sony A58).  Thank you

    This problem is a problem with the permissions on the destination folder. You must ensure that the file includes both read and write permissions. If you do not know how to handle this, do a web search for something like, 'permissions of files and folder Mac"and you should find lots of information about how to change the setting.

    Thank you very much
