After the start of Lighroom I get the error message An error occurred while attempting to switch between modules. also uninstall and reinstall after a bvleibt the Fehlermedlung in lightroom receive

..can anybody help me ?....

For what it is worth, I was unable to change to the Web and Print modules, and I was also unable to record new presets (though I had successfully done it many times before) though I could still use already created ones.  I was baffled, but found a workaround using hints from this and other forums.  Much thanks to those who provided me with a starting point as I never would have figured this out on my own.
My wife is a separate user on the same computer, and I tried switching our catalogues and preference files, ... nada.  Looking at her folder structure under user/library/application support/adobe/lightroom, she had folders for Web Templates, Web Galleries, and Print Templates but I didn't.  So, simply copying her folders (not creating new ones of the same name, which may still have worked) into my own lightroom directory worked. 
Where I screwed up initially was tryiong to use my own presets under her install of lightroom and then creating new ones (which worked) but then trying to import them back into mine.  I had the new presets working under my own install, but still couldn't create new ones under my own setup.  Finally, I realized that it was the "Develop Presets" folder under my own install that was in some way corrupted and copied her Develop Presets folder into my own install and every thing was fixed. I could even copy the subfolders from my own Develop Presets folder directly back in without issue.
Hope this helps someone.

  • When i try to load the itunes introduction i only get: an error occured while processing this directive. What can i do!?

    Hey there,
    When i try to load the itunes introduction i only get: an error occured while processing this directive. What can i do!?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
    That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
    if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
    main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
    If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
    after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
    that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
    What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
    verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
    free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
    unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
    Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
    This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
    memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
    and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
    system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
    to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
    as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
    If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
    it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
    files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
    You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
    and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
    I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
    in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
    In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
    carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Trying to update to iTunes 10.4.1 and I get a message "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi"  Running WIndows 7 with all updates done.  I  have never had an issue with iTunes updating before.  Anyo

    iTunes has tried to update itself and runs into an error and tells me to manually install.  When I d/l and run the iTunesSetup.exe file I always encounter the following error message...
    "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C;|Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi" and iTunes does not update to iTunes 10.4.1.
    Anyone know what is creating this error message?  Thanks for the help...

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page): 
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

    Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
    "an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
    I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
    Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

    I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
    I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
    Any suggestions?

    You can try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download the iTunes installation
    Also try posting in the iTunes forum since it is not an iPod touch problem.

  • Move to new computer, get "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc

    I tried to move my PE6 install and catalog to a new computer.  It was on a Dell Windows XP machine, and I moved it to a Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) machine.  I have always kept my photo files on an external hard drive.  My photo library is 50GB, 10,000 files.  Here is what I did.
    Copied the original PE6 install file to the Toshiba.  Installed but didn’t activate it.
    Copied the entire My Catalog folder to the proper Windows 7 location.
    Plugged the external drive into the Toshiba.  Made sure the same drive letter as before (E).
    Fired up PE6 on Toshiba.  Looked good in Organizer.  Everything seemed to be there, but I didn't try to make changes at that point.
    Deactivated PE6 on the Dell.  Activated on the Toshiba.
    Then I realized that it is not right.  I can edit Keywords and Rating stars on the pics, but not dates, captions or notes.  I get “An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be problems with the source media.”
    Only a fraction of the external drive is in use.
    I can access the files on the external drive with another app (Windows Photo Viewer).
    I tried Reconnect All Missing Files.  Somewhat ambiguously, it says “There are no files to reconnect.”
    In the properties in the Organizer for each picture are the proper file names and paths.  Folder view works fine in Organizer.
    I can put new files in the same external drive directories, import them into PE6, then edit them normally.
    What is the easiest way to get Organizer properly connected to my files?  I suppose I could reimport all the pics on the new machine, but I assume I'd lose some of my metadata.  So that is out of the question.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Are you sure that file paths are correct? I say this because under XP they would have originally pointed to Documents & Settings/My Pictures whereas on W7 it will be User/Pictures, albeit you are using an external hd.
    Take a look at this knowledge base note on the correct procedure for back-up and restore.
    I think writing metadata to files for such a large catalog will be a thankless task.

    Hi lorrelaws,
    Do you receive that error when you try to sign in via Reader? If so, try signing in via the web interface. Did that do the trick?

    hi, my itunes will not work.  I get a message saying it is out of date.  But I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and I get the same message?

    When uninstalling iTunes on your windows computer, there is a specific way it must be done in order to completely uninstall all components of the software.  Ensure you follow the article for your correct OS.
    Did you do this when uninstalling??

  • I'm having problems with a message that says: An error occurred while Attempting to create the directory: C:/program files/itunes/cd configuarion

    I know this is a long story, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to get the most specific help I can (as Apple seems to specialize in assuming user error for all its demonic software). I've never had issues with iTunes before (barring a "Connect to iTunes" snafu with my iPod Touch) -- and never, in fact, with Windows Vista, if you believe that -- but this is the most bizarre thing I've seen.
    I recently downloaded the new iTunes v 9.0.3 as I am occasionally prompted to do whenever a new version comes out, and immediately I had problems. Access to the iTunes and Quicktime folders was mysteriously denied after the update, and after several hours of frustration, I was able to grant my own Administrative access to these two folders and installation went through. Thank God.
    Then I bought some music. No problems -- downloaded just fine, along with a copy of Cinderella Man and the new episode of Smallville. Life was good for a few days.
    Then I connected my iPod Touch to the computer. All of a sudden, Microsoft Windows informs me that the "Apple Mobile Device Service stopped working and was closed," with subtext, "A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available."
    Bullsh*t Windows can help me with anything from Apple.
    So I've tried to get iTunes to work with me on this. I've come up against the infamous "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)" message. My God, when does it ever end?
    So I go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Apple Mobile Device and start it back up... only to watch it stop again inexplicably moments later. Hmm... Restart. Stays on. Unplug the iPod and plug it back in. Apple Mobile Device Service stops again. Maybe it's the iPod Service itself. Hey, that one's not started! [Start] "Windows could not start the iPod Service service on Local Computer -- Error 5: Access is denied."
    What the f*ck is it with this "Access denied" crap? I've never been denied access to even the most intimate functions, files and folders on my freaking computer before! What has Apple created!?
    I thought, perhaps Apple Mobile Device software was somehow removed. Okay, let's redownload iTunes (aka Repair the program from the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel -- same thing). Huh. "An error occurred while attempting to create directory C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration," and I can choose to Retry or Cancel. So, instinctively, I deleted the CD Configuration folder, assuming iTunes Setup would just recreate it.
    Well, that didn't work now, did it? I deleted it and hit Retry, and it said, "The installer has insufficient priveleges to access the directory: C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." Running the .exe file as an adminstrator changes NOTHING about this predicament.
    So that's where it stands. No CD Configuration folder; full access to all files and folders involved; Apple Mobile Device Service still keeps going off for no reason; iPod Service still doesn't run; Repairing/Reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, etc. does nothing; and God (aka Steve Jobs, apparently) hates me.
    . . . . . . . . . . . . Help me.

  • An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)

    Hello:
    I have recently started getting this error when trying to Hot Sync my device:
    An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)
    The device is a Symbol scanner with Palm OS v4.17.   It is connected to my computer with a serial cable.  The only relatively recent changes I can think of to my system are:
    1. Installed a Borland software product (StarTeam) that is newer than my Palm software.
    2. Installed MS Office 2007.
    Please let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: None

    I would have to recommend you contact your vender where you got the scanner from. If a device got this error that we support we would hard reset the device and rename the backup folder under the username for hotsync. With this device I wouldn't know where to start.

  • An error occurred while attempting to perform the operation.

    Hi All,
    I am getting an error while running the report:

    Although I can see the data coming is correct, but don't know why this error is coming.
    I have seen for NULL values.
    How can I see the detail log to trace the error?
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can login as system using SQLPlus and use the DBMS_SYSTEM.set_sql_trace_in_session procedure to set trace on another Discoverer session. This should establish if there is any database error occuring in the Discoverer session.

  • An error occured while attempting to perform the operation.

    Hi
    I'm getting the following error message in my disco plus report.
    "An error occured while attempting to perform this action. The operation did not complete successfully.

    The problem occured when I added a calculation to woorkbook that was working perfectly fine before. Now I can't even remove any item or calculation (or anything) from the worksheet.
    I then edited the calculation to just show "1" instead which allowed me to remove that certain calculation, but I can still not remove any item.
    Please ask if more details are needed.
    What can have caused this problem, and is there a way to solve it? Do I have to redo the entire report?

    Robert,
    We encountered this issue with our 10.1.2.54.25 installation on a Solaris OS. We are currently at CP3. We have tried CP4, 5, 6 and 7. No resolution. Oracle has replicated our issue assigned a bug # and say that they have found a fix but it will not be made available until the release of 10.1.2.3 CP2. We have requested a one-off patch for 10.1.2.54.25 CP7. They are currently thinking about it. We have been hung up since Feb. '08 and not be able to resolve any bugs because of this problem.

  • An error occurred while attempting to export the virtual machine (0x80070050)

    I was exporting several VM's from a Vhost so that i could import them into a new cluster. Four out of the five machines went off with no hitch and were exported and then imported.  However one of the machines throws up an error durring the export
    "An error occurred while attempting to export the virtual machine.
    Filed to copy file during export.
    Failed to copy file from 'D:\path\of\vhd\VM.vhd to 'D:\path\of\export\VM.vhd': The file esists (0x80070050)"

    I have found an answer to my own question after
    further investigation  … In hopes of helping anyone who may have a similar problem in the future.... 
    What happened was the server has two VHD’s one is located in C:\vm\vhd\server.vhd the second was located in a different directory such as C:\vm\vhd1\server.vhd 
    as both vhd files were named identically when the export was attempted it tried to move both files into the same directory I assume giving the “file already exists error”.
