Why can't import files on my Mac NAVE?

Message says that Lightroom is unable to read the files. I have Lightroom on a Macbook too and I was able to import the same NEF files without problem. I adjusted the permissions on the folder I want to be import to no avail.

"Unable to read file" means that the destination directory has no WRITE permission

To fix, you should:

  1. Determine the exact destination directory specified in the Lightroom Import dialog box (it's on the right, under Destination)
  2. Change the permissions on the current directory to write

Otherwise, choose a different directory to import your photos into it has WRITE permission

    Why can't import files in AVCHD format via the media browser? (Right click on the message and AVCHD file imported, got the "format not supported"). I can import by the import of files way (I can go down to the BDMV folder and mts files) but read using the media browser is better.

    No, you need the private folder. Opens in the browser.

  • Why can't import files *. CSC in CS6?

    The manual clearly states: "Premiere Pro supports importing subtitle files in the formats of file .mcc, name *.» CSC, .xml or .stl. »

    I've got files *. CSC, but the file > import does not see them.  When I import the folder, the error that says that they are not taken in charge.

    Very frustrating!

    The workflow of subtitling is a little different in CS6 then cc. In Premiere Pro CS6 you actually attached the CC file rather than imporitng it. Here's how:

    Select the sequence and select sequence > closed captioning > attach a file. To view subtitles attached, go to menu wing of the monitor program and select 'Activate' option under the 'Show closed captioning'.

  • What is this Google plugin Widevine, and why can't find it in my Mac Finder?

    What is this Google plugin Widevine, and why can't find it in my Mac Finder? You should have a right click on the Add-ons, to 'show in Finder '!

    Although it's called a plugin, it is not one plugin like any other that you can find in a file, but a piece of embedded code. Other plugins are often part of the operating system or systemic at least installed, as opposed to extensions. However you can disable - see content DRM Watch on Firefox for instructions.

    That answer your question?

    Select the drive in the Finder and select the get info in the file menu.

    If it is the Windows NT file system format, install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer or reformat the hard disk.

    If it's in a different format, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and use the repair disk function or first aid in this regard.

  • LR5: Why can't import my photos again after use for editing in Lightroom?

    Hello!

    A week ago I just changed 800 photos from my last vacation in Lightroom 5.2. After have exported them, I noticed that I don't check the quality parameters for export, so I tried to import the files of origin again.

    And this is where I have questions right now. I can not open them more. If they are available, they are shaded in grey and are not selectable:

    not selectable.JPG

    To return to the original holiday file, it seems to me that it is only possible to import these photos I did not choose to edit in Lightroom before:

    onlysome.JPG

    I tested other original files of photos I've already edited in Lightroom and they work. It is only on these holiday photos. The export, images holiday edition appear in Lightroom to import. It seems that Lightroom has problems with the original that has been imported to Lightroom once files. An update to 5.6 LR did not help. Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Patrick

    You don't re - import photos into Lightroom. There is no need to do it and it would only cause problems.

    For those photos that you can not import, you can just find them in the library Module and continue to use (if you want to export again in different settings, then you export from the existing photo in the library module)

  • How to import files WMV on Mac?

    Hello

    Adobe Premiere Pro can't import WMV. What do I do now?

    FYI, Premiere Pro does not natively support import WMV on Mac (we do on Windows, however). As you have already found it, it will take a 3rd party plug-ins, such as Flip4Mac.

  • How can I import files NDF Nikon?

    G ' Day,.

    First post here, using LR3.2. I am new to LR but familiar with the concepts and meet a great tool.

    A glaring omission, it seems he doesn't know Nikon NDF files during import and about every other time. (For the non-Nikonians, are pictures of dust reference that can be used to remove dust from sensor artifacts). I know that LR has no idea how to work with it, but I would like to be able to do an import and get all my camera turned off and in the same folder. Is it possible to include additional file types?

    I have searched the forum and searched the net and was very surprised that no one seems to have asked this. Or am I missing something obvious?

    Any input appreciated,


    Mike

    OK - I couldn't resist.

    I wrote an importer with a custom click that I now use for all my imports.

    It has the peculiarity that it will capture your NDF files or TXT files, or anything else you want to while its home.

    What I like more, on this subject, is that there is a separate menu for each device item, and if the names of files contained on the card matches the type of camera, then it's a no-go - so I can't import inadvertently using incorrect settings. Since Lightroom can't remember my import presets nor combine with anything on the map, it's a big plus for me.

    Another thing that that you might like, is that the conversion of file name can be anything you can dream, you provided are willing to change the conversion from lua function contained in the configuration file of the text, OR are ready to ask me what you want.

    Warm sound off - the press as of 2010-09-12 and the configuration of your camera is via a lua configuration file. If its too intimidating and you are not willing to ask me to do it for you, then this plugin is not for you. This may change over time. But I thought you might want to get started right away.

    Personally, I love it! -C' is just what I need - a single click.

  • Why can't deselect files associated with wmp12 in the Panel types?

    Under set program Associations in the Panel applet control default programs - I can't deselect any of the checkboxes for the types of files associated with WMP.  I can choose the few steps that are already associated.  How to do this?  Words cannot describe how horribly WMP 12 is suck compared to previous iterations, unfortunately I have not yet found simple, easy to use media player better.

    Probably cos you have no alternative installed.

    There are many good (and bad incredibly) other players on the internet. Google and you'll know!

    If you have already installed an alternative solution: make a right-click on a music file you want to play and in the context menu, choose open with. You get a list, select your new player, more brilliant, make sure that the always open with box is enabled and then whenever you click on a type of said folder your new player goes, well, play. You will need to do that for all the files of types which, in the past, you used WMP for.

    If you're still looking then VLC is an excellent multimedia (free) replacement for WMP can play 99% of the media files that you throw, out of the box. During installation, you can associate whatever files you want to open when you double-click it.

    See you soon,.

  • Why can't import of Nikon NEF files in Lightroom 6?

    I bought Lightroom 6 recently, and he has now upgraded to the latest version. I use a mac as El Capitan.

    Normally, I shoot and import the jpg files from my Nikon D5300, but thought I would try shooting RAW. However, despite the fact that the camera is supported and the help of Adobe pages confirm that there should not be a problem, the file will not import directly from the memory card.  Lightroom displays thumbnail images of photos - as usual - but then comes up error message, that the files were not imported because they could not be read. Nor NEF files copy as DNG on the hard drive.

    I went through all the settings and spent hours reading the forums.  I know that I'm probably going to convert files, but it would be great if it worked right. What is the problem here?

    Hi giuliamary,

    Seems that your place of destination is not properly defined.

    Make sure that the location of 'TO' in the top right of the import window is correctly set and a full read and write permissions.

  • Why can't import photos in my photo library from Mac?

    When I try to import it says that there are no photos.

    Hi Nancy,.

    Do you mean to access the pictures library App Photos in Lightroom?

    If Yes, then you must first import the images from the Photos App and then import into Lightroom as App Photos does not allow third party application interact with it directly.

    Kind regards

  • Why can't import package twinkle in AS3 file

    It creates the error message saying cannot find the definition for spark.*... What am I doing wrong?

    In Flash builder, you can either create a Flex or AS3 project.

    If you create an AS3 project spark libraries will not be included in your build path

    If you create a Flex project, the libraries of the spark will be included, also you can write AS3 classes and use them in Flex.

    Can do anything AS3 Flex can do, but as a generalization you find more easily create application type projects in content in AS3 Flex and interactive games

    Learn Flex, I found Flex in a week video training | Adobe Developer Connection very useful to begin with, although the learning curve for Flex comes when you learn what is available for you to use and to use for which task components

    As for AS3, there is such a wealth of online resources, I suggest looking for an example/tutorial closely related to what you're trying to reach.

    If you try to create an iOS app in Flash builder I highly recommend to create a Flex project rather than an AS3 project.

    I have recently started creating my first android app and am doing in Flash builder.  And I started here Adobe Flex 4.6 * user interface and available however the video tutorial starts at halfway with no obvious way to find the first videos of some that must have been made

    found this link via Adobe Flex 4.6 * developing Mobile Applications with Adobe Flex and Adobe Flash Builder 4.6

  • can I import files from an SD card mts in Imovie

    Hello

    I'm looking for a good application, easy and cheap for my mac.

    To edit video files and create a mp4 file.

    I get cards sd with the MTS files and you want an application that can import directly.

    I can't find any information if the latest version of Imovie supports importing MTS files from an SD card.

    Someone on this forum can help me?

    Or do you know a good alternative for Imovie import STDs, edit video, use the features of simple enchancing and export to mp4.

    We hope to get a response.

    .mts files are produced by recording AVCHD cameras.  It is generally recommended to import from a full set of AVCHD (camera, SD card or copy of SD card) but the latest version of iMovie also allows drag-and - drop files individual .mts directly into iMovie or the project timeline event.

It turned out for some reason known to herself TB trying to reach the wrong file to one e-mail that has already sent and received, (b) was on my hard drive, I had moved the file to a different location, but it was some time after the message had been sent.
