(Mac) "No Images that can be imported found in the selected source"

[jackamick]

When I try to import from my SD card (using a USB reader or internal SD card slot), Lightroom says "No Images that can be imported found in the selected source". Instead, I need to import from "Browse" and select the SD card in the Finder.

Make sure Lightroom has full disk access. Read this (it's about Lightroom Classic, but the same applies to Lightroom desktop): https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access...

[jackamick]

Yes, it does have full disk access.

I just looked at your screenshots. In the second screenshot you need to open the DCIM folder. That should do it.

Hi,

I have the same issue. Full access and all try to upload images from d850 I got window as showd in screenshot1. My setup: Mac Os 14.5 Sanoma, M2 Max, Nikon D850, Lightroom CC 7.41

Did you find the solution? I see that no any informative response? I have the same issue & do not find sollution. Interesting point on LR Classic it is working.

[JohanElzenga]

The OP did get an informative respons and did not come back after that, so I assume his issue was solved. Please post a screenshot of the import dialog (so the dialog before you get the error). Embed it please, using this button , do not attach it.

After cnnection my D850 I have button to import from camera directly to LR CC. 

After push button I got message:

Interesting that in LR Classic (as also in othe app, like Photoshop, Apple Picture, etc) it works perfectly:

My setup: 

Mac OS Sanoma 14.5, MacBook Pro M2 Max, LR CC version - 7.4.1 

LR Clasic version  13.4

All security access for LR CC  is enabled:

Don't cut out a screenshot if you are asked to post one! You don't know what we would like to check, so always post screenshots of your entire screen. Anyway, direct import from a connected camera is often problematic. Do yourself a favor and get a card reader. That is faster and more reliable and will almost certainly solve this problem.

Look, I would have expectation for more clear answer. Is importing through the application from device is possible and is there a solution to solve this bug. Using an external reader is well known workaround. Like many others - for examples use other bugless applications and/or platforms.

Choose "Browse" instead and then select the camera in the sidebar of the popup there.

[jackamick]

Nope, I still need to navigate with the browse files options rather the SD card.

I was having the same issue. The way I fixed it was:

• Close Lightroom
• Open the Mac 'System Settings' app
• Navigate to 'Privacy & Security'
• Open 'Files and Folders'
• Expand the 'Adobe Lightroom' entry
• Turn off the 'Removable Volumes' setting
• Turn on the 'Removable Volumes' setting

Yo! This is a fix for for when lightroom cc would freeze import from my iPhone, then stop importing entirely, upon reopening LR it would see the phone but not load any of the photos. 

This issue has existed since.. like.. LR 6 lol! I used to use MacOS image capturre or Reboot or stop/start a service, Helper i think but I couldn't remember. Saw your comment snd permissioning fault made sense. Tried it and worked instantly without rebooting, opened LR and iPhone showed up and I was able to restart my import. 

Thank you for posting your solution!!
