Helpful Posts: When I attach camera to lightroom the popup sign indicating import from camera or card reader is missing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lightroom several times but no luck.
Any ideas?

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
...and if you click on IMPORT within LR (bottom left) can you see the source folder ?

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
Can you see the camera or card when you open up Explorer? It should just look like another drive. If your computer cannot see it, then there is likely either a mechanical or electrical problem with your connection.

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
I just imported photos from my Olympus m1 mk2 and is was fine. I also noticed the usb connection in explore. No such luck with my Fuji x100f that is no usb connection shown.
Will visit my favorite photo retailer tomorrow.

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
Have you had any system updates lately, I have the same issue with Capture NX-D, its just not responding anymore, Nikon Transfer works fine though. Luckily I don't use it that often, I sometimes use it to some focus markers.

If this is the case then something has happened with your gear between the time you connected the Olympus and the Fuji.

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
One way to avoid this is to use a card reader rather than connecting your camera to the computer. This also gives you complete control over where the photos go on your computer. I leave a card reader plugged into my desktop.

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
Could it be that a setting on the Fuji concerning data transfer isn't correct? From the manual, it seems there are two possible settings, "card reader" or "raw conversion/backup restore".

Re: Lightroom not importing from camera
I went to my friendly and knowable retailer and bought myself a card reader. Problem solved. I should have bought one eons ago.
