1. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
dj_paige Dec 2, 2014 7:34 AM (in response to judithmbosco)This is not an "upload", this is an Import. The problem is that you don't have write permission to the destination folder. So, find what destination folder is set in the Import dialog Destination Panel, then change the permissions to WRITE. Or change the folder to a folder that already has write permission.

3. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
dj_paige Dec 2, 2014 8:01 AM (in response to judithmbosco)A common mistake is that the destination folder set in Lightroom has changed (possibly accidentally), but people check the old destination folder, and of course that's not the folder Lightroom is trying to use.
So you need to make sure you know the exact folder set in the Destination panel, which may not be the folder you thought it was, and then check the permissions on that exact folder specified in the Destination panel.

4. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
judithmbosco Dec 2, 2014 8:08 AM (in response to dj_paige)I named the new folder winter 2014 so I would know the difference between the 2, so I do have the correct folder. This started before I opened a new folder. The old folder had a ton of photos in it so that is why I created a new one (which is what they had me do last time) and it took about 2 minutes to fix. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what they had me do as it was via chat. I guess I should have written it down.

5. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
dj_paige Dec 2, 2014 8:24 AM (in response to judithmbosco)I can't tell if we're saying the same thing or not.
"I named the new folder winter 2014" ... this does not imply to me that you checked to see if the folder name in the destination panel has accidentally changed. Did you check to see if the name of the folder in the destination panel has accidentally changed? Did you check the permissions on the exact folder that is now specified in the Destination panel (and not any other folder that you presume you were using but accidentally are not using)?

7. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
dj_paige Dec 2, 2014 9:20 AM (in response to judithmbosco)This is not the permissions I am referring to. This does not show the Import dialog box, it does not show the Destination Panel in the import dialog box.
I am referring to permissions on the folder where the photos are supposed to be copied to. You have to look in the Destination panel of the Import dialog box and see what folder the photos are supposed to be copied to.
As a side issue, the use of multiple catalogs like this usually is not recommended; one catalog for all photos is what people usually recommend.

8. Re: Lightroom (4.4) will not let me upload any photos.
judithmbosco Dec 2, 2014 9:45 AM (in response to dj_paige)As I stated, when I first had this problem, the Lightroom person I was chatting with had me create a new catalog to fix this problem the first time it happened, that is why I did it again. I am not sure what the import dialog box is that you are referring to.

judithmbosco Dec 2, 2014 10:25 AM (in response to judithmbosco)I don't know what I did but it seems to be working! Thank you for your help. I know it must be frustrating to help folks in this type of forum.
