Hi, I've recently subscribed to Lightroom and am being met with this error message upon trying to import any images.

'Some photos were not added. Unable to copy file.'

I've seen 2 other posts on here of the same issue but the solutions posted there didn't work.

I'm using windows 10, imported the files from my SD card to my hard drive. I am then trying to import to lightroom from my hard drive.

Thanks in advance

i too am having this issue it is highly annoying and nothing i have tried works. please fix this as i can imagine it must be a software issue as i am not the only one having this issue. makes it really hard to import photos in raw format when you have to do them one by one and close the app everytime a issue arises and then try again.

I imported 500 Sony raw format images a couple days ago. No issues.

There has to be some missing variable/condition we are missing.

You can request an enhancement via the Lightroom Ecosystem Ideas forum. That is the best place to start.

Seit heute habe ich Probleme beim Importieren von Fotos in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3

Folgende Fehlermeldung erscheint

Vier fünf Fotos werden immer hochgeladen dann erhalte ich diese Meldung. Nach mehreren Versuchen habe ich auch gemerkt, dass nicht immer die gleichen vier fünf Fotos sind, die hochgeladen werden. An den Dateien kann es also glaub ich nicht liegen. Speicherplatz habe ich auch noch genügend.

Ich speichere meine Fotos immer auf einem PC Laufwerk und importiere sie dann - hat bisher immer funktioniert. Nachdem heute die Fehlermeldung auftauchte, versuchte ich es auch die Fotos direkt von der Kamera oder von einer externen Festplatte zu importieren - klappt leider alles nicht.

Ich hoffe, jemand kann mir helfen.

Danke und lg

The same is happening to me. I can't add any picture, either downloaded from the internet or taken by myself. Using windows 10.

Since today I cant import ANY pictures to my Lightroom 4.4. I tried all the solutions i found online. Like the admin/folder rights, the online sync.... still it doesnt work. all it says is "unable to copy file" and then lists all the photos I wanted to import. I'm using lightroom for 10 months and this never happend.

looking for a quick fix because it makes me unable to do my work. using windows 10

thanks in advance

i have the same problem!!

Its always worked and now i cant add ANY images. The only way I found to make this work is to open a file in Photoshop save it as a JPEG and then import it into Lightroom.

Not really a solution at all...

I'm having the same issue, and it just started happening. I have not changed my workflow, what type of files I'm importing, where they are coming from, but I have started using a new scanner. The last batch of images I scanned (film) most imported just fine, but 5 out of 36 did not and provided the attached error. My workaround was I saved the ones that wouldn't import to my dropbox account. Took those images from dropbox and saved them to my photos app on my phone, and then imported them using the LR app on my phone instead of my Mac. Very annoying. And it just started happening.
