Hi I'm trying to import the rest of my photos off my camera. There is 864 images in total. I was able to upload some, I thought I was finished but remember a few certain photos that I didn't see after upload. I reinserted the card, and I see the photos but they are greyed out, and the option to upload is not there. I tried checking the import suspected duplicate box, and it didn't work. I looked up the file name in finder of one of the photos as they are showing as duplicates. A photo I uploaded last summer shows up under that same file name.
How do I import these photos? I don't want to go in and hand change the file name for 800+ photos! Is there another way? This is so annoying!

Are you 100% sure that you didn't import these photos previously? If so, why do you think that? Sometimes people import some photos and then somehow don't remember this. Searching in Lightroom (not in Finder or Windows Explorer) is the only way to know if the photos have really truly been imported. Please follow all 4 of these steps (not one or two or three of these steps, but ALL FOUR)
Do you find the photo in Lightroom this way?
There are occasional reports of a bug where the user resets the camera for each photo shoot to begin with photo number 0001, and after many photos shoots Lightroom gets confused and won't import because it thinks it is a duplicate.

Okay, I found them,
Thank you.
How is it they ended up in another place than the rest of the photos?
How do I move them to the folder with the rest?
Thanks again!

How? Something you did differently? Targeted a different import location?

You ​accidentally ​imported the photos using COPY instead of add.
