Cannot open photos in LR5? HELP!

I just noticed yesterday that I cannot access my LR5 photos. All my photos have a !. I tried to correct with Find Missing Folder. It will locate folder, but I can't select it? Its frustrating because I see them, but can't access them. Any ideas?

I am not a Mac user, so I'm afraid I cannot be a lot of help to you. But I think your external drive is causing the problem. Try unplugging the drive and then plugging it back in, or whatever you have to do to wake it up and see if that solves your problem.  You can still see the images, I think, because Lightroom has generated previews. But you need to have access to the images in order to make changes.

    I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements.  Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

    No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

  • Cannot open photos in IPHOTO.  Only get a blank page with turned down corners.

    Cannot open photos.  Appearing only are blank pages with turned up corners.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select
    Library ▹ Rebuild
    Books, calendars, and slideshows won't be preserved.

  • Cannot open Photo.library of other Mac User.

    Running Yosemite, and Photos 1.0 (Dutch version). As advised elsewhere, in order to allow Photo library being used by 2 users of same MAC, I created a 3rd 'shared data' user, to put shared Photo data. So with 1 of the users on MAC, I imported (old) iPhoto library in Photos, went fine, and copied the Photo.library file on the 'shared data' folder under folder Pictures. I created proper authorizations for both users to access this library. Now from the user by which I created this net Photo.library, I can open this library OK, but from the other user (same authorizations) I cannot open the library, error is 'Photo cannot restore permission'. I run the checkdisk program, run the program to restore permissions, but did not help. When I try to open this library on the 'shared data' user's folder from Finder, error says it cannot import pictures from the library. Thanks for advice. 

    2 disks, and buy a software to backup one disk to the seagate raid 1 ... sounds complicated to me, TimeMachine can't backup network disks. Fact is though that I can access the foto library from 1 other user on the MAC, so it isn't so that accessing other user's  library doesn't work. But it only works for 1 user apparently. Clearly not very well thought through by Apple.

  • Cannot open Photos app after today's upgrade

    Hello
    I upgraded the Yosemite OS today to the new version with Photos
    All seemed to be ok except for Photos which is not opening as every time i try to open it the system tells me: an error occurred please restart application
    All info is still in the iPhoto app but i never managed to actually start the migration process due to this blocking error
    I tried restarting and turning the Mac Off but to no avail
    I am using a MacBook Pro of 2012
    I cannot remove Photos to reinstall it as this is embedded in the Yosemite OS so any idea is more than welcome
    Have a nice day and thanks for the help on this
    Dimitri Dupont

    Additional info - all still works on Iphoto so nothing is "lost". It is just that i never get further than the startup screen and when clicking on the blue "start" button the error message appears

  • I updated the pages software yet I'm still on the previous update and cannot open my files. Help!

    I updated the pages software version 5 yet I'm still on the previous update 4.3 and cannot open my files. Can anyone help?

    Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
    Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • Cannot Open ID File - Please Help

    Hello,
    I was sent a file by a client in InDesign, but when I try to open it I get the following message: "Cannot open (file name). Please update plugins to their latest versions or update to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
    I tried downloading plugins from the Adobe site, but it didn't appear to do anything. I have 5.5. I'm guessing this file may have been created in 6. Is there any way I can open this file? It is very important. Could anyone help?
    Thank you.

    @Bob...the OP gave the error message.
    @OP, can you have the person you received the file from save a copy as an IDML file? If this isn't possible, can you upgrade to CS6? And if not, you'll need to upload the file to drop box.com and provide a link either here in the forum, or if you need to keep the file private, provide the download link via a private message.

  • HT201407 I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instruction say to "slide to open" but I cannot open it!  Please help!

    I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open.  Please help? 

    Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

  • Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

    Apple did a "data transfer" from our old computer onto our new iMac, and we cannot open any of our old documents that were "transfered." When I open them in "TextEdit," all I get is a lot of random letters and symbols. I've tried everything, please help. Thank you!

    What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...

    Erase your system disk.
    Install OSX 10.6 and do ALL the system updates.
    Repair permissions when finished.
    Install FCE and do all the app updates.
