Can't launch catalogs

I'm coming from LR 2.7 on a PC to LR 3.0 on a Mac.  All my catalogs are on my external hard drive.  When I try to open a catalog, I get the error message, "Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network volume or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes." 
How can I access my catalogs?

Is your drive formatted in NTFS? If so, you need to reformat or to get write access to NTFS on Mac. Since I'm not a Mac user, I cannot give you any advice on how to best achieve this, but I'm sure somebody with Mac knowhow will chime in.

  • Can't launch the organizer in Elements 13. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  This happed with Elements 11, too.

    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
    Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
    1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
    path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    13.0
    Organizer
    and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
    2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
    a. create a new catalog
    and/or
    b. repair or optimize the current one
    See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
    3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
    it.  But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
    3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Can't launch Lightroom 3.6

    When I attempt to launch Lightroom 3.6 I get a message saying 'The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 3 Catalog' cannot be opened because another application already has it opened. I have the option to 'change catalog' but I get the same message for that one too. I have no other applications running and have rebooted my PC several times but I still can't launch Lightroom. Any ideas? I put today aside to do a heap of work in Lightroom and CS5 - but Sod's Law says this is the day I get this problem

    Unfortunately the victory was short lived. I left for work this morning having imported a (MS Windows) folder of CR2 files and created a collection for them. When I went to edit them this evening every image has the notice 'The folder could not be found'. The folder still defninately exists and opens in Canon DPP
    When I followed your advice earlier and deleted the 'lock' folder I could access Lightroom again but all my collections were gone - although presets and Camera Calibration remain
    Is this a case of re-install, do you think?

  • Can't launch Safari due to error message

    I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
    Here is the error message;
    The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
    Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
    Thank you very much

    Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
    If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows >  Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
    Much more user friendly than Safari.

  • Can not launch lightroom says error when reading its preview cache

    I can not launch Lightroom is puts up a error message that says it encountered an error when reading its preview cache and goes in to a loop that keeps closing the program
    I have restarted my comp 4 times same this each time
    I can't find any trouble shooting and when I try and download lightroom again it just puts me back at the creative cloud desktop which I can't click in anything

    You need to delete the preview cache. LR will automatically create new previews.
    Read here and here are the locations. Don't touch the *.lrcat file.

  • How can I Launch a Java application that I have written using an icon

    I have just finished writing a Messaging system like Ms Outlook written completey in Java. To run my application , I would normaly type: java and then the class containing the main method eg java LogonFrame.
    How can I launch my application by just clicking on an icon ?.
    How can I also package and install this application the way most conventional application are packaged and installed. Do we have a sort of "java Installer" ?.
    Thank you.

    Just make a .bat file. Open notepad, type something like
    @echo off
    javaw -classpath %~d0%~p0 Package.MainClass %1
    Now make a shortcut to this file. Rightclick the shortcut and select start in "minimized". Thats it...

  • Canon MX870 will print wirelessly but will not scan and can't launch EX navigator

    My laptop recently crapped out on me the hard drive failed. It's an old Macbook pro vintage with 4gig memory and running OS X maverics. After I got a new hard drive put in and restored my computer using a time machine backup I noticed the Tech had gone ahead and installed a newer operating system 10.9.2 and now I cannot get my Canon pixma MX870's software to work. After going to the Canon site and downloading newer drivers and wrangling with it for three hours I finally was able to get it to print wirelessly somehow, don't ask me how. But it will print wireless however it still will not scan even if I use image capture it sees no printer available and the ex navigator software keeps showing an error message it cannot launch! How bogus! Macs have always just worked period. No problem but now even when I go back to my old install disc for the Canon pixma MX870 it says that the software is not supported by this operating system .....REALLY... this printer is only about three years old! I'm shocked that apple could actually go ahead and make new versions of maverics that don't support printer software from two years ago..... REALLY you're kidding right! Whats next you won't support software from two months ago! I guess we have to just buy a new printer every month.
    This machine is starting to remind me of a Windows laptop what a nightmare. Jobs must be rolling in his grave. This is just utterly pathetic. This is the beginning of the end for Apple. I've always been impressed with how easy it is to use apple stuff but this is the second time I've updated my operating system only to find I have to go through **** just to get the freakin' printer to work. Come on guys somebody show me an easy fix here and if any body says it's the printer companies responsibility to update their drivers and software I think I'm going to puke. I have already downloaded the newest Canon software for the MX870 and it can't launch I was able to get the printer to print but can't get the scanner to work and the solutions menu is now useless.

    Well you are right Steve my complaint is with Canon for not making it easier to install their necessary updates if you upgrade your OS system but it seems that when Apple is constantly making new upgrades available they might want to add in the heads up "OH by the way, if you install this new OS it's likely your printer won't work any more if it's more than three years old." along side the constant   "Updates are available for your computer" they should really have it read "Updates are available for your computer, proceed at your own risk"  No I'm sorry the whole system is geared towards making people get so frustrated that they eventually give up and buy a new printer. I'm not sure what 5 hours of my time is worth but I am sure that if were getting paid by the hour it would be enough to buy a new Canon comparable to the MX870. So by the way if other people are having this same problem, which of course thousands of them are, the solution is first download the newer driver, then download the new wireless setup assistant and then figure out how to use it (good luck with that), it took me about two hours just to find the access points on the printer and to be honest I just got lucky eventually. Then you must download the newer "Scan Gear" software if you want to scan. But it seems that the new "Scan Gear" software got my whole solutions menu to start working again so there you go, you can be a white night for somebody else who is having this same problem. I must admit that after wrangling for hours I continued to go back to the forums and eventually found a link to the canon software update page provide by some very nice girl who was very helpful for some other guy and the link took me to the same page I had been to several times already but I then downloaded the "Scan Gear" software and was up and running again. So thank you to that nice girl and in the spirit of her helpfulness I offer this to the thousands of other poor bastards that cannot get their MX870 to scan

  • Can't launch iTunes due to previous version of QuickTime installed

    I installed an older version of QuickTime, now I can't launch iTunes anymore. In Control Panel, I have QuickTime 32--version 2.11.57 listed. I did everything in the document http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3366434&#3366434
    but nothing has worked. I can't seem to uninstall the old version of QuickTime. When I run QTInstaller713.exe I get an error message about "Can't install because a newer version is already installed"
    Sony Vaio VGN-S260   Windows XP  

    There are no QuickTimes listed in the Add/Remove list. I see it listed in the Control Panel where there is a QuickTime and a QuickTime 32 (v2.11.57). I also see it in Start > Programs > QuickTime. When I click on that I get the message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

  • Can't launch Safari after Software Update

    I can't start Safari anymore and I don't know what to do. In short, click on the dock and no bounce. Double-click on the icon within Applications and it doesn't launch either. These problems, I'm guessing are a result of the combination of objects delivered by Software Update yesterday. Based on the log below, I installed the following:
    2006-05-29 22:05:53 -0700: Installed "Pages Update" (1.0.2)
    2006-05-29 22:05:58 -0700: Installed "Apple Intermediate Codec" (1.0.1)
    2006-05-29 22:06:12 -0700: Installed "Keynote Update" (2.0.2)
    2006-05-29 22:06:52 -0700: Installed "GarageBand Update" (2.0.2)
    2006-05-29 22:07:42 -0700: Installed "iPhoto Update" (5.0.4)
    2006-05-29 22:08:04 -0700: Installed "Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2" (2.0)
    2006-05-29 22:09:01 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1)
    2006-05-29 22:09:43 -0700: Installed "iTunes" (6.0.4)
    2006-05-29 22:10:02 -0700: Installed "iPod Updater 2006-03-23" ( )
    Additional problematic behavior includes:
    (1) other applications saying OS X is not 10.3.8 or higher
    (2) can't launch Software Update from the Apple menu or from the "About This Mac" window
    (3) can't see the system version in "About This Mac" (shows the serial number instead)
    (4) can't run a bunch of other apps (Dashboard, iMovie, iChat, Sims 2 University)
    Any clues? Am I in the right forum?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    (3) in About This Mac click on the serial number and it should cycle through the Mac OS version, build, and serial number. Run Repair Disk Permissions then run Software update again. There might be other updates available. After each update run Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Can't launch safari anymore.

    I can't launch safari anymore. Not sure when the problem started. When I click on the icon, I get a message that says "safari.app is not supported." I installed OS X 10.5.3 today, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions?

    The only thing I can remember doing in the last few months (since I last used Safari) was the regular software updates, including upgrading to Leopard from 10.3. I am pretty sure I used Safari successfully after upgrading to Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    I also synched a palm device using Missing Sync in the interim (since last using Safari).
    BTW, you can't imagine how frustrating it is to try to fix the problem without a usable web browser

  • Z10 can't launch apps a month after 10.3 upgrade

    The device boots up fine, but troubles start right away: Picture Password doesn't work, the phone falls back to plain password entry. None of the apps can launch. When I try, the launching animation plays for a few milliseconds, with the program's tile appearing on the home screen and sometimes starts zooming to cover the screen. If the animation lasts long enough, I can see the loading screen, but at that point it always vanishes. The more apps I try to launch, the faster they disappear. There's two exceptions: The help app always stays open for longer, but it never get past the splash screen. In a testament to RIM's work, the phone dialer app still works. It launches and can make phone calls. The call log is empty, and trying to see the contacts tab causes it to hang. It's comforting that despite the mess my device is in, I'd still be able to make an emergency call. I can slide down from the top of my device to see the option pane. All the toggles work, like brightness, notifications, nfc, bluetooth, wifi. But trying to launch the settings from their doesn't work. Neither does bedside mode. The WiFi is connected and so is the cellular. The hub takes about 15 minutes to start. Once it is loaded, I can see items in it, but I can't open them or select them. After another ten minutes, I'm even able to go in the hub settings. I can't compose. Eventually, I get the message "Some Accounts Failed to Respond". Some functionality is intermittent: sometimes when I click compose I can see the list of messages types (but can't launch any editors), sometimes I can make the delete/file icons appear, sometimes I can access the hub settings, sometimes I can search. The volume keys work. But I can't take screenshots. USB access is intermittent. BlackBerry Link sometimes detects the device, but sometimes it's unable to connect to it, other times it can connect to it but none of the functionality in Link works. Sometimes, the ethernet interface doesn't even exist after I plug it, sometimes it doesn't get an IP address, other times it does but the device doesn't respond. I can use the command line tools to get info from the device (when usb is working), see a list of installed bars, but the connection is closed if I ever try to upload a (valid & signed) bar. I tried to use Sachesi to do backup with no success, it tells me that I don't have a BlackBerry ID. The device is logged-in with a bbid. The alarm clock works. It also goes off after I reboot the device, with about 50% chance I think. When I boot the device, it always shows the apps I had opened before the device broke. Until the hub finally finishes loading, the red notification light blinks. The device broke while I was managing my contacts. I was settings a custom notification on a contact, and it kept getting removed. It might've had something to do with contact duplicates sometimes appearing. On the main contact app screen, I suddenly couldn't edit contacts anymore. When I selected one, the only options were "add contact", and another one which I forgot. My phone is an STL 100-3 and I updated to 10.3.1.1784 exactly a month before the troubles began. After the upgrade the majority of my photos on device memory were missing, although I'm not sure if it's related to the upgrade. Hopefully all these details can help RIM fix this. I could probably run an autoloader and get my phone running again, but I'm really hoping to eventually get my data back somehow. I've set it aside and I'm using another phone for now. 

    Yo! I'm the poor dude who's experiencing the same awkward trouble as you are.At the moment I still couldn't figure a soution for it though (that is, excepting a factory reboot) but I'm still hoping that something will eventually come up. Same as you I set it aside and am using another phone in the meantime cause I do want to get my data back. My best guess would be to do an OS downgrade without data loss but I don't know if that will be possible since we cannot reach the phone via Blackberry Link and the phone itself is rather blocked so we wouldn't be able to get even to the Configuration app... Cheers.

  • I can't launch Acrobat Pro 9.0 (OS 10.6.4).  Need Help.

    Hi:
    1.  I have acrobat pro 9.0 ( I haven't updated it) and it was working fine until several days ago, when I updated the OS to the current 10.6.4.   Prior to that, it was working fine with the prior version of snow leopard etc...
    2.  Now, when I try to launch acrobat pro, I just get this message saying that acrobat quit unexpectedly.    I figured that I needed to update acrobat pro, I downloaded the current update, but when I go to update the original application, I can't do it because the icon for acrobat pro is greyed out (hopefully this makes sense).     Furthermore, I can't update acrobat pro by launching the application and having the software updater figure out what is needed... because I can't launch the program in the first place.
    3.  Does anyone know what in the world is going on?   From all of the variables, it's obvious that there's some issue with acrobat pro 9.0 and OS 10.6.4, but I can't figure out how to update the acrobat pro 9.0. 
    Any thoughts / help, much appreciated.  Harry

    Since you have already downloaded all the patches starting from 9.1 to 9.3.4, i would sugg
    est a little longer route but this might solve your problem.
    1. Create a new admin account say admin1
    2. Log out from the current admin account and login as admin1(the new admin account)
    3. Now update Acrobat 9.0 to 9.3.4
    4. Now if you want you can logout and login into the original admin.
    Hope this solves your problem.
