When backing up catalog it loops after about 70%-PS7

Hi I am trying to do by first backup of the catalog of about 3000 files.To external drive Always, after about 70% it ends up in a loop with "Program not responding" shown in Task manager. I have checked that the catalog does not need repairing its Ok: there is lot of space 170 Gb : it doesn't need defragging ; run Chkdsk on disc and its ok. It starts to go slow at about 50% and gradualy gets slower The folder that has been saved looks Ok with about 2000 files in. I then tried to do an incremental backup on that folder , but it woudln't do it. I get no error messages of any sort and the system is all Ok for all others apps Cpu load when loops is low, with PS at about 5% and mostly the system is idlle Any ideas please Thanks Chris

Hi I am afraid I am still not getting anywhere. Thanks for your patience. Firstly on checking my log book, I didn't get this catalog from my previous PS version. I started again from Explorer folders. So I misled you. Sorry. Though I do have a previous version with some of the same photos , and many many more in its catalog.I have been gradually moving across , but from Explorer as I didn't want them all moved across. The nearest path to what you suggested on my XP machine is below. I cannot find Program Data, only Program files: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog\projects And this folder is empty. I am still hunting. Chris

DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
- IDE controler failure
- Bad cables
- Bad harddisk
Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well. I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes. The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location. I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

How to fix Lightroom 5.6 from crashing when backing up catalog database (external AND local backup) - Mac 10.9.5
It starts to cue and within 3-4 seconds, the program just crashes hard. As stated, I tried it on local hard drive and external. Same result...
In the destination backup folder, it will copy over one folder, no images.
Thanks ahead of time.

If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?

When backing up LR catalog to an external drive, what do I copy?

Hi,
Let me explain what I'm doing with back ups for the LR catalog. First I backup the catalog to the same drive my photos are on, simply to allow LR to access the catalog without having to power up an external drive. That LR folder contains 1.) the LR catalog, 2.) a previews file (lrdata), and a backup labeled with the date of the backup. At least once a week, however, I copy the LR file to an external hard drive, to another LR folder. I notice when doing this that the entire catalog is transferred to the external drive each time I do the copy.
Question 1: When doing a catalog backup to the photos folder, should I delete the previous backup? I.e., I did a back up today; on Saturday I'll probably do another. Should I just save the last dated backup and delete the earlier dates?
Question 2: Should I just copy the updates to the external drive? Or is it more appropriate to copy the catalog, previews, and latest update? It seems to me the latter is the best alternative, but perhaps it's not necessary.
Thanks much in advance,
BAB

there's really no right answer, but these are my recommendations
Do not make a backup of your catalog file to the same folder as the photos unless it is on a different physical hard disk than your working catalog. You can save as many backups as you want, the amount of insurance that you take out (the number of backups) is entirely up to you. I keep at least one month, and then some older catalogs as well.
I don't know what updates you are referring to, but there is no reason or benefit to copy/backup previews
Additional comments ... I strongly prefer an automated backup approach, that doesn't rely on a human being remembering and having the time to make a manual backup. Thus, I would recommend you have Lightroom automatically place the catalog backup on the external drive. I don't really know why you are opposed to powering up your external HD, that's what it was made for, to be used! Mine is powered on 100% of the time. Furthermore, if your backup to the photos folder is on the same hard drive as your working catalog, I would strongly recommend you not do this ... because the day that this disk fails (and it is 100% sure it will fail at some time in the future), you have lost your working catalog AND most recent backup and thus it is possible that you could lose nearly two weeks of work when this disk fails (and more if you just so happen to have forgotten to manually make copies to the external HD).
Additional comments 2 ... Nowhere have you mentioned making backups of all of your photos. I assume you are doing that, and if you're not, stop what you are doing, do not celebrate Hanuka or Thanksgiving, and make backups of all of your photos immediately. Of course, you might have been asking only about the catalog backups and you have done a thorough job of making backups of your photos, in which case ignore this paragraph

When i'm in email, after about 10 seconds, i get a black screen.....10 seconds later, it returns me to the general screen....anyone have this before??? thx

I don't know if you've got this solved or not but I started getting this too about a month ago. I just had it happen again about 10 minutes ago. I was on a website & BAM black screen, I don't hear the usual "winding down" of the hard drive though, so the HD sounds as though it's still working properly AND there's a weird hue around the edges of the screen so it's not pitch black as though the monitor turned off. Once I force shut down then I get the true pitch black screen before it turns back on again.
Also, every time this happens & I re-start the hard drive tends to be working very hard doing something in the background for at least 2-5 minutes not sure why?

HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

I have a imac g3 dv se, snow and after about 10minutes of it booting it makes a popping sound and the turns off, then it wont turn back on for another 5-10 minutes

i have a imac g3 dv se,500mhz, snow and after about 10minutes of it booting it makes a popping sound and the turns off, then it wont turn back on for another 5-10 minutes any suggestions?

Actually sounds like classic symptoms of a failing PAV (power-analog-video) on that model. Historically that's the weak spot in the G3 iMacs.
The lack of active cooling in the G3 iMac puts a lot of heat stress on this board and they eventually fail from overheating. Right now the board is still working as long as it's cool--it only fails when temps inside the computer rise.
About the only way to preserve the computer's life is to mount a 120mm fan directly on the case where the handle is--that's the exhaust port. The fan has to be positioned to PULL air out through that vent. It's an ugly solution to the eye but it has been done around here more than you would think.
Also make certain the bottom of the computer is not blocked. It the computer is sitting on a tablecloth or placemat, or there are loose papers on the desk under the case, it cannot get enough air into the bottom-mounted air intakes. Make/find some blocks to set the iMac a minimum of one inch (2.5CM) from the desk and move anything that can be "inhaled" from under the computer.
Even with such measures, the PAV board will eventually fail and be unrecoverable. It's a good time to start saving for a newer computer.

Trying to watch Amazon Prime movies on iPad 2. After about 4 minutes it stops and to continue I have to go back to Amazon, search for movie, and resume.

When I try to watch an Amazon Prime movie on my iPad it stops the movie after about 4 minutes of viewing. I am sent back to the iPad main screen. To continue the movie I need to go back to Amazon, click Prime Movies, locate what I was watching and click resume.
I don't have this problem wihen watching the movies on a TV or computer.
What can I do to fix this?
