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.

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:
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.

I can download more pictures from a SD card to Lightroom is. I can download pictures or Aperture but Lightroom CC gives me the error "the following files were not imported because they could be readable." and then it lists all the files on the disc. I shoot in Raw. I know it's a problem because I see the number of entries when I have the problem of google. What I don't see is Adobe recognizing the problem OR suggest a solution. It is a big problem since I have to find ways to get photos in Lightroom. Can you please tell me what I should do to get my pictures downloaded. I had no problem before subscribing to Adobe CC when I used 5 Lightroom.
A changes to privileges stick? Check the folder again. Should look like this - see image. Also check similar to the folder that you copy photos to.

6 of Lightroom cannot read my Canon 5 d Mark III photo files, the import message I received: the following files were not imported because they could not be read. I use the same camera that I used Lightroom 5 with the same cards Compact flash. The files are: DK5A0243. CR2
Lightroom 6 trying to copy pictures to a different directory than what is Lightroom 5. That's why you have the problem.
You can change the directory where you are teaching LR 6 to place photos, or change the permissions on this directory to read & write.

Please help im trying to import images from the SD card and get this set up the following files were not imported because it couldn't be read items 1-100
"Could not be read" indicates that the Destination Directory has no WRITE permission in your operating system.
To resolve this problem, you must
- Determine the Destination folder - it's on the right side of your import under Destination dialog box
- Change permissions in your operating system on this particular file have WRITE permission (or switch the destination to one that has the WRITE permission)

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.
