1. Re: "Failed to FInd a Place" Imports - Any Resolution Yet?
J McWilliams May 14, 2009 12:45 PM (in response to suzzie12)Are you Importing from a card reader, camera, internal, or other HD? A few more details may be helpful. And, I presume that's the message, verbatim?

2. Re: "Failed to FInd a Place" Imports - Any Resolution Yet?
suzzie12 May 14, 2009 1:25 PM (in response to J McWilliams)Using a Nikon D80 with a Lexar SD 133x card and a Sandisk Card Reader USB 2.0 to the computer.
This is highly frustrating because of its regularity.
I check off 120 images of 250 I want to import...sometimes it will import 78 sometimes 105 images and then I get this Failed to find a Place error message...and I have to go and re-import again. Im copying files from the SD card thru the Card Reader onto my Western Digital Hard Drive which has been working fine. It has 23 gigs free room.
Hope this helps.
I used to have faith in Adobe and their updates...now im loosing faith. Version 2.2 was stable for me...this version 2.3 update is where the trouble started.
Thanks for any insights.
Suzzie

Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteață May 14, 2009 11:37 PM (in response to suzzie12)Maybe it's the card reader... Try a direct from camera import through a USB cable.

This step you do prior to initiating a download, yes?
I'd try a new test catalog and see if you can bring those files in without a glitch.

thetasig@ca.rr.com Feb 15, 2012 4:44 PM (in response to suzzie12)Same problem "Failed to find a place for the imported file. (1) - then names the photo. The name of this photo is Kitchen Counter w/cookies 2011_1224_141116AA.jpg and it is on a network storage device (NAS) where many other photos are located and some have already been imported (previously) into the Catalog. I wonder if it is the name of the photo which has a forward slash (/) imbedded? Mac doesn't mind the name. But the error message that shows the file name changes the slash to a colon (:)
During a second attempt, I went directly to the folder that contains the picture. That single picture shows a message: "Preview unavailable for this file". I checked that photo's checkbox for the import. The same, original, error message says it can't find a place for the file.
So - I changed the name of the original file by removing the forward slash (/) and replacing it with a simple hyphen. Voila! - Now Lightroom sees and can import and display the picture in the catalog.

Katrin Eismann Nov 24, 2012 1:23 PM (in response to thetasig@ca.rr.com)Thank you - I had the same error messgae when importing from a harddrive. Replacing the / with a - solved the problem. It would be helpful if the error message was more helpful!

nahcr Oct 13, 2013 6:45 AM (in response to Katrin Eismann)i am getting this message also.
lightroom 5 - windows 7
importing creative commons licensed photos from flickr. in my case, lightroom appears to continue with import. it appears to be related to a duplicate photo
