Can't create new catalog in Lightroom 3.6

All of a sudden, Lightroom 3.6 won't create a new catalog for me. It worked for years but stopped working for no reason I can figure.  I fill in the new catalog name in the dialog, click Save, then Lighroom restarts but  tells me it can't find the new catalog name I just created.  When I look in Explorer, I see that the folder has been created, but the catalog files were not. 
Also, Lightroom didn't remember the last catalog opened when it starts.  To test this, I located and opened a previous catalog, made some changes and quit Lightroom.  When I restarted, it did not recall the previous catalog, but opened a much older one.  I went to Edit->Preferences and changed the "open" setting to "Prompt me" (for a catalog name on open) but that didn't stick either.   So we've developed some anomolies here.  Can anyone help? TIA.

I would suggest removing or renaming the Preference file and letting a new one be rebuilt. Can solve all manner of weird issues.

  • Lightroom 5 will not let me create new catalogs anymore???

    I've been using Lightroom for a while now (since Version 3) and now all of the sudden it is failing to allow me to create new catalogs onto my drive. It will go as far as letting me select a destination and create a new folder and then nothing further. I am at a loss and it's probably an easy fix I am overlooking. Ideas?

    These are the two screens I get when I go to create a new catalog. I can do nothing further after this stage.

  • Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?

    Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?
    The business requirement is to limit the available entries for partners  displayed when they search in quality notification. I have already created new partner functions & assigned the relevant partner types, however struggling with defining new partner types.
    Would appreciate help in resolving this.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    I know this customisation setting ...It allows us to create the partner functions & assign it to the partner determination procedure.
    Then you can assign the procedure to the notification type.
    This customisation setting does not solve the problem I have.
    I'm looking for the partner type creation process which we assign to the partner function.

  • Can We Create New Categories and Folders?

    I hate having all of my apps piled up in the "ALL" category.  Can we create new categories such as "Business Apps" or "Education" in order to stay organized? If not can we at least create folders within the existing catefories?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I read a response to a similar question yesterday on this forum. The BlackBerry tech said it is not an option right now but you can choose your favorites and have them show in the favorites section. Maybe folders will be available later. Enjoy the new tablet I know I am.

  • Can i create new CRM in 11i

    I have a question, can i create new CRM(Conflict resolution Manager) additionally in 11i EBS..?

    do we find any scripts to check about concurrent managers in EBS from back end(sqlplus )..?yes default installation give you some scripts to check about concurrent managers.
    The following SQL scripts located under $FND_TOP/sql :
    1. afimchk.sql Tells the status of the ICM and PMON method
    2. afcmstat.sql Lists active manager processes
    3. afrqrun.sql Lists all the running, waiting and terminating requests
    4. afrqwait.sql Lists requests that are constrained and waiting for the ICM to release them
    5. afrqscm.sql Prints log file name of managers that can run a given request. It can be used to check for possible errors when a request stays in pending status. It requires a request id value.
    6. afcmcreq.sql Prints the log file name of the manager that processed the request
    7. afrqstat.sql Summary of completed concurrent requests grouped by completion status and execution type. It requires number of days prior to today on which to report parameter.
    8. afimlock.sql Lists locks that the ICM is waiting to get
    9. afcmrrq.sql Lists managers that currently are running a request

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.

  • Can't create new sites in Dreamweaver CS3.  Help!

    I am trying to create a new site in Dreamweaver CS3 but keep
    getting the following error:
    "The action cannot be completed because the other program is
    busy.
    Choose 'Switch to' to activate the program and correct the
    problem"
    I have tried every documented solution on the adobe website
    and other discussion forums and still cannot get past the problem.
    I have restarted the IIS server on my local PC as documented
    on the following adobe technote:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16485&sliceId=2
    Other things I have done:
    1. I have followed all the advice in the links at the bottom
    of the above page.
    2. I have created a new user, logged into that and tried
    creating a site with a "virgin" environment
    and I still have the problem.
    3. I have gone into the registry and renamed the site
    configuration info in case something was corrupted.
    This removed all my site configurations. No help!
    4. I have turned of my firewall and restarted the IIS
    server.
    5. I have searched the web for anything even remotely
    similar to this error and tried every tip out there.
    I called Adobe and they referred me back to the technote
    above, which I had already tried.
    One last bit of info. I can't create new sites, but I can
    edit web pages in my existing sites. However, I cannot change the
    configuration of the website in the Manage Sites area (i.e. I can't
    push the Edit button).
    Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I
    have hit a brick wall on this one and am trying to meet a deadline
    on a new website I need to create.
    If I can't find a solution quick, I will be an
    ex-Dreamweaver user. That saddens me because I really like
    Dreamweaver, but I have to perform on my job.

  • Can't create new photo streams in Aperture

    When I select new photos to add to a photo stream, I am not prompted to create a new photo stream, they are simply sent to the stock photo stream that is already shared between my iPhone and Aperture. How can I create new photo streams in Aperture if the standard method doesn't work for me? What is wrong with my setup that I can't follow the videos of instructions because I don't get a dialog box when I try to share?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Is your Profile signature correct  Mac OS X (10.7.5) ? Then you cannot create Shared Photo Streams. They require OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4, see:
    Using and troubleshooting shared photo streams.
    You can create Shared Photo Streams with:
    an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 6
    a Mac using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 with Photo 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later
    a PC using Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista with the iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed. (iCloud Control Panel 2.1 required with Windows 8.)
    If your system is compatible with shared streams, check, if you have enabled shared streams in both the System Preferences and Aperture's Preferences.

  • Can't create new email account.

    I can't create new emails account because when I go to Setting and click in Mail,Contacts ,calender, it goes back to home, intead of open the options. Any advice? Thanks
    Julio

    Double tab the home button and when the application button shows up hold the settings icon until you see a red dot in the corner and hit that.
    If that dosent work then try restarting the device. Hold the lock button (top right of iPad) until slide to power off appears then hit the same button to get it back on.
    To actually make an email account you have to go to the providers web page, you can't create one in settings

  • Can't Create New Sequence

    FCS2 Upgraded and updated yesterday.
    For some reason starting today I can't create new sequences. New Sequence doesn't make a new sequence in any of the bins (but doesn't crash - just nothing happens), whether from the File menu or right-clicking in a bin.
    Importing XML (from Color or even via Color > Send to FCP) doesn't create a sequence either.
    Creating a new project gives me an empty project, with no sequences in it either.
    Anyone?

    And, as always, FCP Rescue can make backing up or trashing your preferences nice and easy.
    http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
    Once you've got a functioning preference set, you can back it up to restore later in case this happens again.
