Even since the lates update Lightroom Classic won't auto detect SD card when I put it in? I can still click on Import and find my card from there but what happen to the auto detect feature? I have already tried formatting the SD card, Restarting Lightroom and rebooting the computer. The check box for auto detect is check. I am using a iMac 10.13.2 High Sierra.Auto

Thanks for the replay but there is no destination folder? I am talking about the when you plug your camera into the computer or a SD card, Lightroom detect the card and opens the import screen and shows you which photos are available to import. I think you are talking about setting up a watch folder that Lightroom will auto import from if you drop photos into it? Sorry I am new to Lightroom and may have used the wrong terminology in my first email.


Then it has something to do with Mac OS X. Apple is constantly changing things in OS X to make it like a moving target for all other software.

You'll just have to get use to clicking the Import button in the LR interface.

Personally I don't use that feature and never will.

Test this on my work computer today with Lightroom on Windows 7 and works fine. Must be a Mc specific problem?

It's probably a folder permissions problem. Look at the Destination folder name and check the permissions on it.
