Downloading photos into Lightroom Classic

I'm having issues downloading my Leica Q2 photos into Ligthroom Classic, not all the photos download. It's probably something I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Thanks, but I figured it out, I'm getting the photos when I download to PS, thanks again.

Actually you should not download into a specific postprocessing program, in photoshop you don’t and in Lightroom you use the catalog For photoshop you normally use Bridge through the Downloader to store the images into your own filing system on your hard disk and from there you can open them in ACR/Photoshop or use the Import module from Lightroom. But you never download them “into” Photoshop. 
You could, in theory, open photos directly from your computer SD card but you would end up with an awful lot of cards. 
So: from the card onto your hard disk using Bridge or the catalog section of LR and backup, and use your program to open or import them.

After several challenges with LR import I found a rather simple and 100% reliable approach: on my Windows Surface Pro I created a folder "_FotoTemp"

I copy the images in a folder for each camera. Then I start LR right click on _FotoTemp and click "Synchronize Folder". This is where I do the majority of my editing. On vacation this folder gets copied to an SSD every evening (using Robocopy batch for the more tenured photographers among us) while the LR catalog resides in OneDrive and is uploaded there (but also copied to the SSD).

Back home the files will then be moved to their final location on my NAS (which is replicated to a cloud storage + another SSD):

There are always better ways of doing things but this works extremely well for me.

This is avery basic theme and its important that you understand well what you do and what happens:

1) Do you have a Mac or Windows?

2) Do you use Lightroom Classic as your post processing programme or something else?

3) Do you insert the SD card into your computer?

4) or do you have just a temporary technical problem that is solved by now?
