LR 5: Exporting books does not work

Hi everyone.
The last 2 weeks I spent creating a photobook (30x30cm), 100 pages. To have a faster start, I've duplicated a book project that was created with Lightroom 4 and edited this.
Unfortunately I cannot export the new book. Neither as PDF (tried several settings) or JPG, nor can I upload it to Blurb directly. Whenever I press any of the available "Export to PDF" or "Upload to Blurb" Buttons, simply NOTHING happens. No activity bar in the top left corner, no "Please wait" or whatsoever window. Simply no response from the software. I can continue working with Lightroom, the speed is the same (which means no background process like image conversion) has been started.
To reproduce the error, I've created a new book with LR 5 quickly. "+" Button in Collections > "Create new book" > added 20 pages, filled them randomly with photos (that have been part of the old book projects, too)
"Export to PDF" > A new window opens, where to save the PDF. Perfect. Works as desired.
"Upload to Blurb" > "Buy the book" windows opens, where i have to enter my Blurb Username and Password. Correct behaviour.
Back to the formerly created book (the LR4 duplicate). Same error: No response.
I let LR5 create all necessary 1:1 previews, again > Nothing. Exited Lightroom and restarted it > Same problem. Restarted Windows and Lightroom > No export of the book.
This happens to all my book projects that were created using Lightroom 4 and below.
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (all updates)
Lightroom 5, 64 bit (including the new "ui.dll" file to prevent random crashes issue in Library Module), no active Plug-ins
PC: I-7 3930 K (Socket 2011), 32 GB RAM, Geforce GTX 570
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks, Christian

Update:
It seems that corrupt Background graphics (maybe missing BG-photo, ooutdated background template) was the reason for the unability to export the book. Although I've never been given any warnings...
As a workaround I've set a global background to "None" (uncheck every option, just "Global Background" checked).
The book exports now. I'll find the "guilty" page that caused the fault.

The Software that came with my book does not work. CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom

Hello this is my first post on cisco support and hope I can get some help. I recently purchased the book CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom and when I used the CD to install the Pearson Practice exams, it does not work. I tried everything! It even asks for a activation code, which on the CD It says "Refer to the Activation Code Included in the DVD Sleeve when Registering Pearson IT Certification Practice Test Software"I don't see anything related to a Activation Code anywhere on the CD OR on the sleeve! So now I can't use that.
The Network simulator Wendell odom uses in his videos is already outdated it seems and I can't get mine to work. Why? Because I bought this book in hopes of this being a beginner book and praying the person won't skip information to actually set up the book. So now the videos are useless because I can't connect because I have no idea how...
The Network Simulator lite, wow 3/3 When giving me software to use. The Prompt command does not work, Only the enter key will work but when I try to put in a password I can't hit anything else but enter.
I hope I can get help from a more official member as to seeing how I bought this book and I can read but whats really the point if I don't have the hands on training?

Keunepete,
When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

You'd have to contact Adobe (we are users).
That being said, if you go to the proper forum and give them the details about what you mean by "does not work", I'm sure they can help you. Because it does work.

You might try pressing cancel and trying again. However there have been a number of similar reports this evening and it may well be that there is a server issue at the present time.

Export pdf does not work

When I convert a PDF to Word it does not work properly. I have to edit so many things to make the Word document close to the original. I may have to request a refund.

Rajshree:
I am somewhat confused. You mentioned my 2012 order. I tried it then and
gave up when it wouldn't work, but I really did not need a conversion.
Now I do. That is why I ordered it again, order No. AD014249853 on Oct 4.
Conversion failed, 4 times. Are you now saying that the program does not
work? Why do you sell it then? I need to convert legal documents from pdf
to Word. Isn't that what ExportPDF is supposed to do?

Logic midi exporting problems (does not work with cubase)

ok so there is an audio file i need converter to midi for something i'm working on someone with who uses cubase...
so basically an audio file from cubase needs audio to midi. since cubase does not have this feature i imported the .aif file from the cubase project and used audio to score to extract midi. i then exported the midi file and imported it back into the cubase project and it was not aligning with the audio file.
note that the cubase project has variable tempos but i imported the file into default tempo and extracted the midi in the default tempo mode. but this shouldn't be a factor since midi conforms to current tempo so when it gets reimported back into cubase it should sync with the project tempo there....
can anyone help???

Already tried with different keyboard and I have find out that the keyboard that I use at home only sends midi via channel 4...
You have a couple of choices:
Within the EVB, change the Keyboard Mode to single. You may need to do this a couple of times to get it to work. You would also need to do this for every EVB preset that you use
You could setup the organ Instrument Channel Strips as "Multi-Timbral" with the incoming MIDI mapped to Channel 1. You would need to do this for every Organ Strip that you want to use in your MS Concert.

File-renaming functionality for book does not work as expected

Adobe Framemaker 8.0
I am on Windows XP. Dell computer. Xerox printer.
I follow the basic instructions for renaming a file in a FM book (To change the name of a document in a book:
1. In the book window, select the file you want to rename, and then choose Edit > Rename File.
2. Type the new name of the file and press Return or Enter. When the alert message appears, click OK to update other files in the book.) but I do not get past step 1. Instead an error message comes up that says "The text cannot be changed. To change the name of this file, please display filenames."
What is meant here by "filenames" and how/where would one display such?

Thank you indeed! I was with your help able to rename the file. However, the Book Error Log barked at me that it couldn't open BadFileName (a reference not to the file I renamed but another file which I not so elegantly dubbed "Conten ts" (with an unintended space between "n" and "t"--maybe this spacing is the reason behind its being dubbed bad?) since it could not be found. Should I disregard the error message or play along and rename "Conten ts" to "Contents". If that's all I need to do to get rid of the error message then of course, I'll do it. Thank you for answering my last question--whether or not you answer this one. Cheers, Siobhan

Search option does not work in address book

The search field (upper right corner of window) does not work in address book (version 4.0.5) of my friend's Power Book. I eliminated the possibility of a corrupt plist (preference) file by dragging them to the desktop and restarting but it still didn't help. Any other ideas?
Meg

If searching in Spotlight works, I don’t know what could be the problem. You may try this:
1. Open Address Book.
2. As an extra safety measure, do File > Back up Address Book and save the backup wherever you wish.
3. Go to Address Book > Preferences > vCard, set the vCard Format to 3.0 and check Export notes in vCards. Close the Preferences window when done.
4. Select the All group in the main Address Book window and do File > Export Group vCard (the command should read “Export Group vCard”, not just “Export vCard”).
5. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Open Address Book and check whether the problem is fixed.
7. If the problem persists, quit Address Book again, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Application Support/, and move the entire AddressBook folder out of there, e.g. to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem and making sure you don’t miss anything).
8. Open Address Book and try doing File > Revert to Address Book Backup to restore the backup you made in step 2. If the problem persists, repeat step 7 and this time try doing File > Import > vCards to import the cards exported in step 4.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Address Book SEARCH does not work anymore

Since the last week or so, my "Address Book" does not search at all anymore for any contacts on iCloud (which is where I have all my contacts). I saw others had a similar problem, and that one person was able to fix it -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/17417340?searchText=Address%20Book%20SEARC H%20does%20not%20work%20anymore#17417340 -> but this fix does not work for me. Interestingly it searches if I have contacts "On my Mac", which I usually don't.
I tried exporting my address book and re-inporting it (replacing all contacts), but it did not change anything.
Was anyone able to fix this besides the person in the above linked discussion?

YEEHAH !!!
I HAD THE SAME "SEARCH" ISSUE, HOWEVER I AM NOT USING iCLOUD... so my situation was yet slightly different I guess, I tried a bunch of things (exporting, reimporting etc.. Nothing worked..).
FINALLY WHAT WORKED WAS: I deleted everything in the Application Support/AddressBook EXCEPT the Metadata folder. When I relaunched AddressBook.. everything worked fine again, searches etc.. and all icons even reappeared I guess they are also kept with the metadata info not jsut the images folder since I had deleted it) .. and all my contacts from Facebook that I had synched using Cobook and some other utility before that are also there...
I've also played around with CoBook again.. to make sure things were stable, and so far they are.
HOWEVER.. iCloud scares me... so I'll refrain from playing with that for now

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"

on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles

with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?
