My lightroom 5 suddenly ceased to import.

I was in the middle of a business meeting and Lightroom 5 suddenly stopped allowing me to import photos, my camera cards of memory, or my office.  I get an error message saying: "the following files were imported not because they could not be read."  I have not upgraded or install something again.  Help, please.

You must determine that the destination directory is in the dialog box import (it's on the right side, under the Destination)

Sometimes it has been accidentally changed something again, then she change back. If this isn't the problem, then using your operating system, change the permissions on this folder SPECIFIC to WRITE permission.

    If you were able to import by changing the destination on the desktop, it means that the issue was due to the location of previous destination.

    You didn't have all the permissions to copy pictures to this place and for this reason, you are unable to import.

  • My iMac has suddenly ceased to import pictures from my Canon PowerShot

    My MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) has suddenly ceased to import pictures from my Canon PowerShot.  When the transfer cable is set up and I turn on the camera I get a message on the camera briefly: "Communication error".  I use OS X version 10.10.5 Yosemite and Photos, version 1.0.1 (215.65.0).  My camera specialist said that the problem is not with the camera.

    You have a large SD card in the camera which is full?  http://thedesignspace.NET/MT2archives/000757.html#.VmnV5Ch8u5Ythis seems to be a problem that appears. When the card is full, the camera will not export them and Iphoto seems to not recognize the camera.   https://www.jmedved.com/2012/02/Canon-SX230-communication-error/ You could go into Iphoto preferences and change in general, connecting camera into Iphoto for capturing images. It change and then transfer to Iphoto.

  • Lightroom 4.2.  Cannot import. message files were not imported because they cannot be read

    Crisis of Lightroom:

    suddenly, impossible to import images into lightroom - a window comes up that says '"suite of files not were not imported because they cannot be played'. I was trying to import images - 10 images were imported from the shoot, then import stopped.

    I tested the card and card readers using cards of different cameras and using different card readers. I managed to import the images into a folder on my desktop, so know nothing is corrupted... Memory cards are good, my card readers are good. no settings not changed in my camera. Nothing has changed in my routine. Have been using lightroom for several years.

    I import via a card reader, convert to DNG and save on an external hard drive. All very ordinary.

    No, I contacted has had or knows someone who has had this problem.

    Impossible to get in touch with anyone at Adobe.

    Thanks for any help or direction to support tec

    On a quick reading, it looks like the same question that me was dead in the water for 7 days. (LR 4.2)  I tried everything - my card readers are good, memory cards are not damaged, tried different cards of different cameras, etc. Working my way through all of my tech savvy friends and professional, I've been lucky to connect with a person of great sister tech at Adobe.  After all the possibilities of lightroom (3 hours on the phone) in case of problem, we checked my external hard drive where all the images are stored.  Though even the external hard drive had plenty of space and "told" that he was in good health and works well, Adobe got go in properties/tools of the external hard drive and do a 'error checking.  12 hours later after the program has the file to a disk at the same time, he finds errors, moved to a separate folder, and now everything works OK.  Hard drive not to was not crushed or if all images have been lost.  As can happen after a while there was a scratch or similar which prevents more images being write (or read) on the disk.  Even if everything works OK at the moment, I'll replace it my external hard drive (and it's backup external drive) .just cases are more 'bumps' on the external hard drive.

    My technical knowledge is limited and I'm not intuitive that anything digital, so can't add more information then the experience I had.

  • Hello I am importing my photos tonight shot a wedding this afternoon and now Lightroom ceased to import, and at this point, I got the message "could not copy file to the requested location (424).

    This is a permissions issue when you do not have permission read & write in the destination folder when you copy photos to. Change your permissions

  • Lightroom 3 ceased to import CRW2 files

    I have a Canon 5 d MarkII uses a Mac and I used Lightroom 3 with this camera perfectly until last month.  Suddenly he ceased to import my files CRW2.  I took my card to a different location and that you can import into lightroom 3 on a windows machine.  I disabled some security software, renamed catalogs and downloaded a DNG file.  I am at a loss.  Should I just reinstall lightroom?

    Probably not. You get an error message "the file could not be read '? If so, the real problem is that the files could not be moved/copied in the folder you specified when importing. Make sure that you are allowed to write to the directories in question. In addition, make sure you have free space on this drive.

  • 5.1 Lightroom ceased to import JPEGs of iPhone. The iphone and the images will be displayed, but import said that they cannot be read. This has just begun. Even the phone, IOS and the OS.

    5.1 Lightroom ceased to import JPEGs of iPhone. The iphone and the images will be displayed, but import said that they cannot be read. This has just begun. Even the phone, IOS and the OS.

    The message 'could not be read' indicates you do not have WRITE permission on the destination folder. So, here's what you need to do

    1. The Lightroom Import dialog box, go to the Destination section to the right and make a note of the specified folder.
    2. Change the folder to something else; OR in your operating system, change the permissions on this specific file WRITE permission.

  • Lightroom has suddenly stopped recognizing my readers network (Win10)

    Hi all

    This is my first post.  I tried to get help, but does not seem to find any matches, so I apologize if I missed relevant discussions!

    I am using a Win10 computer running Lightroom 5.7.1 (and a user of LR for a few years now).

    I yesterday I found I'm suddenly impossible to import photos into LR from a network drive (for example my photos were on my drive G: for many years).

    Windows Explorer can see / access of readers (g) very well.

    Lightroom cannot import drive G:.

    In the Lightroom Catalog, my drive G: that were previously imported all photos now have the "!" symbol indicating that Lightroom cannot find them.

    Has anyone else experienced this (and solved)?

    Thank you

    Sam

    PS the only changes to my system recently that I remember are:

    I changed my home wifi network to be considered 'private' and say to my computer "find devices and content".

    SOLVED!

    I start Lightroom via right click > 'run as administrator '.

    For some reason, instead of ensuring that you have a higher level of permissions, which causes the import drag-and - déposer in Lightroom to fail.

    So... just run with normal permissions, not with administrator-level permissions.

    Kind regards

  • Lightroom is not able to import my Sony A7s .arw files. Help?

    Hello

    Lightroom is not able to import my Sony A7s .arw files. Help?

    What exact version of LR do you use?  Use the help / System Info and look down.

    The A7S requires LR 5.5 or newer.

    The A7S II requires LR 6.2 or newer.

    Files uncompressed Sony A7xxx cameras require LR 6.2 or perhaps LR 6.3 I believe.

    Hi alans64812546,

    Could you please confirm what operating system do you work?

    Also are there all collections which you synced prior, so it is an Anti Virus on the computer?

  • Lightroom has left while the import is in execution-photos are missing.

    Lightroom has left while the import is in execution-photos are missing.  How can I fix the index (?) so that I can see the pictures?

    When I look at some of the records, the number of pictures is 0.   In the 8.1 WIN it says there are 10 pictures (for example).

    If tried to re - import a fold er who had 0 photos in Lightroom, but it is said that the 10 photos are already there.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. It is not "air" inside a folder and see how many photos is there, just like Windows Explorer. If both should not match.

    If you are unable to import the photos, which means that they have already been imported and you will need to find in Lightroom. Then, go to the library Module and perform all 4 of these steps to find your photos:

    1. Click on all of the photographs in the catalog Panel
    2. Disable all filters (once or twice Ctrl-L)
    3. Develop all batteries (Photo->-> develop all batteries stacking)
    4. one of those 'missing' photos search by file name
