My computer, camera & Lr are as follows

Adobe Photoshop Lr Classic CC 8.2.1

macOS Mojave 10.14.4

Olympus E-MII and Olympus E-M1

I import pictures via SD card reader. Pictures first go to dropbox.

then I import them to Lr and had ticked eject card after import.

All has work ed fine until I started noticing not all pictures were imported.

I have now un-ticked eject disk after import. And repeat import in Lr.

Sometimes I need to repeat the importing 2 times before all pictures were imported.

Importing to dropbox tells the amount of images.

Any advice? I believe all my LR import settings are as they have been.

I spent over an hour with live support to get Lightroom Classic to read my raw files. Now, it will only read some of my photos on my SD card. The default program on my nothing fancy laptop has no problem whatsoever finding every single photo on the SD card. Why did Adobe force users to go to the cloud to continue using Lightroom? Why fix something that wasn't broken? I pay a monthly fee and so far I've had the program for a week and all I've been doing is wasting my time trying to download photos, something that used to take mere seconds.

Have same problem

>Which operations system?

- Windows 7

- Lightroom Classic CC 7.5

>Which camera do you use?

Sony A7 III

>Which format does the pictures have? RAW or jpeg?

jpeg

>If the SD card in the camera or in an card reader when you try to import?

In card reader. Explorer and any other program see the fotos.

Also

- Import dialog does not show fotos in any local folder, say c:\tmp, though there are fotos for sure (other programs work)

- "Do not import duplicates" does not help.

- Yesterday (24 Sept) it worked

I have this same issue, I take a dozen pictures import to Lightroom (which automatically ejects after import). I do this 3 or 4 times in a row then the next time Lightroom won't see any pictures on the card. I close Lightroom and re-open and suddenly it can see the pictures.

Mac OSx Version 10.13.6 (17G65)

Lightroom Version 6.12

This happens all the time for me, I can get pictures 2-5 times in a row then suddenly Lightroom won't see any pictures. I have to close it and re-open it then it will start seeing it again. I tried ejecting the SD card and re-inserting but that doesn't help, only closing/re-opening Lightroom fixes it.

After Closing and Re-opening (never removed SD card from computer)

What option have you selected near the top of the import window. Like this section.

If "New Photos" is selected and LR isn't finding any New Photos then whatever photos that are on that card are already imported into the LR catalog file.

Try selecting "All Photos" and if the photos that then show up are grayed out then they are already in the LR catalog file.

Write down one or two of the image names and use the Filter Bar in LR (if not shown hit the \ key to show or hide that bar), the Text option, to search for one of those names to see if LR has already made a record of it.

Explain the exact steps you follow, in detail, step-by-step, leaving nothing out, until you get to this message. Show us a screen capture of the end result.

Also, please state your exact version NUMBER of Lightroom (and not words like "current" or "most recent"). Also please state your exact operating system.

More informations please!!
