First of all thank you so much for the quick responses. I am in the Sierra Nevada area with limited internet connection so I am sorry for my late response. I am 99% sure the issue is related to a defective memory card. It is very unlikely the MBP card reader is defective. My complaining with LR is it is unable to import all the selected pictures. I am a LR user for 10 years and I must say this particular issue never happened until now, but it doesn't mean it does not exist. Also I had several issues related to terrible performance and stability during this period of time so I am not particularly happy with Adobe. Adobe is suffering from the same disease that affected Microsoft in the past and now affects Apple: they have a money printing monopoly and simply became lazy. My import flow: 1. Open LR 2. Insert the card in the MBP reader 3. Wait until LR opens the import dialog 4. Make sure all photos were selected 5. Click on Import button 6. Wait until the process is completed So LR knows how many photos should be imported because of step 4. It is very easy to check after step 6 is completed and compare how many pictures were imported with how many were selected to import. This is trivial to implement and the fact that this is not being done amazes me. So I agree this is a hardware issue, but if LR had alerted me about missing pictures in the imported collection I would have tried again and no pictures would be lost. If you run a transactional batch process you must implement some kind of consistency check. To give a simple example: I select 50 pictures to import, LR imports 30 and ejects the card giving no warning at all. Todd Shaner​ I will start following the workflow you have suggested. Sometimes I double check, but as I had never had a similar issue in a decade I became complacent/lazy to do it every time. Conrad C​ I always wait until I can see all pictures in the card are being displayed in the import dialog. Just Shoot Me​ As I mentioned above. I also never had such issue in 10 years. But LR implementation allows this problem to happen. It is rare, but the check is very easy to implement however LR does not.
