Importing Images

This starting a couple of weeks ago after working fine for probably the past 6? months. After opening LrC I plug in my card reader, go up to “FILE” > “IMPORT FILES AND MOVIES”.  I am not seeing my card reader in the list.  ??

LrC ver 15.4.1

Windows 11

    TY dj_paige … The card reader seems to be OK.  I left it plugged in when I quit LrC last night, and just removed the card.  I put the card back in the reader a few minutes ago and the reader/card showed up in the left panel. I was able to click on it and see my images. I think sometimes LrC needs someone torment, and sometimes it’s me.  TY and have a safe holiday

     

    I think there is some connection (hardware) problem with your card reader. I don’t think Lightroom Classic is doing this at all.

    Can you be sure the card reader is still working? Has it gone bad? What happens if you plug it into a different USB port or different computer?
