No longer importing images properly?

Prog crashed 1/2way through an import due to accidental disconnection of HDD and following the crash I no longer seem to be able to import images properly

It only imports via click and drag into COP (doesnt seem to pick up files under normal import)
- if imported with auto adjustments the images are all white. - see
- if the image is black - see

Exploring the imported files within finder (see package contents, exploring folder), they appear to be normal ie not corrupted and can open in preview etc)

The images that have already been imported are display fine though - see

suggestions?

  Look at your Levels tool. Reset the tool (or all adjustments) and you might be in for a surprise.

  I'm pretty sure that I've reset the tools as in the second picture -
  
  The issue is more that COP no longer seems to be recognising image files properly - see this pic - both the .CR2 and .jpg files appear as question mark icons when drag/dropped into COP.

  No Idea about Mac but if this was a PC I would suggest corrupt files (or "proxy" files). Most systems seem to copy the fiels over and then add header info that makes them recognisable. If something prevents part of the process the file will appear and may look normal through other viewing methods but is unreadable for a specific application that is relying on something other than the original file to provide information that tells it what it is looking at.
  
  I would think delete and re-import would deal with it by recreating the entire entry - but have you already tried that? Unfortunate disconnects that crash a process can have a number of negative effects within systems so it might be best not to trust anything that was part of the process that crashed - just in case.
  
  HTH.
