I had this problem before. it was the card reader for me.
i was using the Transcend reader, everything corrupt,
i switched to Kingston everything was fine.
you can check this by see if you can see the pictures in camera, if can't then i think its the card.

DPP reads the settings you have in the camera and adjusts the images to match your camera settings.  Lightroom doesn't, you have to tell it which setting you have in your camera.  Setup lightroom to apply the same in camera settings to your raw imagesas they are imported.
 
If you are trying to learn lightroom by trial and error, its going to be difficult.  Watch the free videos on Adobe TV, and buy one of the excellent books that tells you how to use the features and options.  There are many things you can do while importing images, even applying different settings by ISO, for example.

noted thank you for information. i will go to watch videos.

i have been using lighroom for a year already, but just recently started to get really into it.
and i found i am spending too much time on adjustment,
i know there is a batch processing, but every time there is a different scene i have to start all over again.
its a totally pain and time consuming.

so i hope there is a way to import the files just as i took it, because i am constantly doing some adjustment in camera to match the scene.

Just setup a color profile that is specific to that camera as apply to all photos on import

Can you explain little bit more?
do i manual adjust the color to match the DPP photo that has camera setting? then save as preset and apply to all photos that i import?

Is there anyway to import photo with lightroom 4 and view just the way i see in DPP and in camera.
after importing with lightroom the photos became darker and less vibrant, and it takes many efforts to adjust.

i am using Lightroom 4.1 CR2, and 5D Mkiii.

thank you

Tried  everything you said, including rewriting firmware
and tried with my Canon 60D Body,
still the same. most after flash and few preflash.
i guess its the trigger thats defective? since the change for 2 receive to be defective is very low.

Thank you for your respond
and yes my Head was tilted, it is normal after turn the head forward

for the second issue. No i have not used my flash with PW before

when it trigger slow or not trigger at all, the picture is almost to totally dark depends on the setting and ambient light. (not half)

I did few more test with flash head pointed towards the camera and with 2 flashes both 580exii and 430exii
when i use 1 second shutter speed, did about 10 shots, flash fired and not recorded, i believe its firing before the shutter.
used 0.5 seconds, same as 1 sec, its firing before the shutter.
but there is once during the test 580 did not fire and 430 fired right after shutter closed. 

and tried with P mode later on at  1/60  f4.0 
the results are

1. 40% of the time flash before the shutter opens
2. 10% of the fires after shutter closes (not sure if my eye is right but it seems the flash flashed at lower power than normal)
3. 20% of time the flash will not flash ( the ready light is on Red)
4. 3% of the time one flash will fire and the other will not (it seems when this happens, the flash will fire after the shutter closes, with lower power)


tested again with my Cheap Yongnuo $35 radio trigger, Set both camera and flash to manual,
Camera 1/160  Low speed continuous,     Flash 1/64

The Cheap yongnuo trigger never missed a shot,  and Phottix Odin had 50% dark shots.

My Odin is not working with my 5D MKIII., Tested with both 580EXII and 430 EXII
there are 2 problems

1. Zoom is not working at all, in ettl mode, i zoom the lens in, the flash will not zoom with it.  In manual mode  I adjust zoom range in Odin Screen, the flash head will not zoom either.

2. there are 20% of the time the Flash will trigger bit slower, the picture comes out dark. There are 10% of time flash will not trigger at all (flash is ready during the test) and i tested with 1/50 - 1/4000

Firmware is up to 1.08 on both Odin Transmitter and Receiver.

Does anyone know why is this happening? is it the hardware issue or firmware issue?

Mine is doing same, but i don't think its a problem, in normal light condition, with lens on and cap off, i shine the flashlight on the LCD, no speed change.
for long exposure, just make sure don't leave that light on.
