Cannot run Light Room 5 Beta?

I installed Light Room 5 Beta and somehow mucked up the nominated Lightroom catalog; hence the program will not run. An error message appears and then shuts down. I have tried reinstalling the program but the same error repeats itself. Can anyone please inform me how I can completely uninstall it and re-install it again nominating a new catalog? regards, Les

To be clear: Lr5 (beta) will not read Lr4 catalogs - you have to start a new one.
Anyway, if the mucked up catalog is an Lr5b catalog, it might be good to send it to Adobe if the mucking was due to bug, if not - just delete it and start over, or restore from backup.

Does light room work better than Photoshop for raw conversion

What is the difference between photoshop and lightroom conversion from raw camera files. It seems that lightroom is putting my images in more of a middle of the road type of post production, where photoshop tends to be all over the place. As a professional photographer it is good to have a style, but do you think that this middle of the road approach will end up getting us all to conform to a single style rather than being individuals? If I change settings and take control then more images fall out of the bell curve and don't look as nice. http://www.blue2green.com here are some sample images. I am curious if anyone else is experiencing the same concerns

What Geoff said is accurate. I used to use Adobe Bridge/Photoshop ACR for camera RAW processing. But since LR has the same engine I use LR much more these days. And most times I don't even go into PhotoShop with my images and just print from LR -- LR is very powerful, especially since the release of LR4 and I find that I rarely need to use an outside editor like PhotoShop or NIK and OnOne plugins to do any post processing.

Cannot open Light Room -

I have Lightroom 3 - it was working fine until 3 days ago. I have tried EVERYTHING! uninstalling, installing, deleting some catalogs, etc. I click on Lightroom 3 the Title comes up on my screen reading "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: Red Scarf 8-16-064-2.jpg.lrcat." Then a little box pops up stating that Adobe 64 bit has stopped working. It then advises me that windows is checking the problem. Then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

You'll need to reset your preferences file. See this thread, post #9:

I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
would open up with my current problem.

After I import the photos into light room from a folder, the deveop module cannot be accessed? What can I do to process those photos that are on my hard driive?

If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:

After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.

Two days ago, I loaded Light Room 6. Today I went back to Light Room 5. LR 6 corrupted an entire folder of images, and caused errors on my Raid 5 causing win 7 to run "Chk Dsk" and fix the errors to the operating system. LR 5 has not shut down for the last 5 hours. LR 6 has a serious bug. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Yesterday I was on tech support, waiting for 3 hours, finally they picked up and informed me there department was closing and someone else would call me on Monday. So, I'm working today and all day Sunday to make up for the down time using LR 6.
I don't know if the bug exists in the program or the "Creative Cloud.
Question: Does anyone know why if I bought Light Room 6 [NOT Light Room CC with the monthly rental], I have to enter my serial number if I want to use it?

Entering the serial number is probably part of the registration process.
Just out of curiosity, what were you doing on LR6 when the folder of images became corrupted?

I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop

i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Thank you so much! This worked. You are right. My Computer Security program was freaking out and crashing that day and I was working on my pictures while I was doing online chats to fix my Security program problems. Since I posted this question I removed and reinstalled Lightroom and was shocked when that didn't fix the problem....all because that catalog with the LOCK extension was there.
I really appreciate your help - ALOT.

I am having trouble with Light Room 4... Why is it so slow at random Times??

Problem being that at random when I am going along selecting images or editing, Light Room decides to slow right now and pauses on a picture saying LOADING for a good minute until finally loaded. Light Room is up to date. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it. My computer is super fast - its Windows 7 with 64GB Ram and LOTS of Disk Space so there is NO reason for it to be acting this way.. cant someone please help me!

Re AppleWorks, turn off the Recent Items menu in the preferences.
Is your internet connection through a router a wired Ethernet connection to a Ethernet router or a Airport card connection to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) router?
I'm not sure why you would upgrade to 10.4.3 when the OS X Update Combo 10.4.6 (PPC) is available. Especially if you're ever run third-party program installers that asked for an administrative password, be sure to run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions on the hard drive after the computer restarts.
If you normally shut down an OS X Mac overnight or leave it in system sleep, the cron maintenance tasks cannot run in their nominal 3 am timeframe. (Display-only sleep allows the maintenance tasks to run). Tiger 10.4.2 and later will force the maintenance tasks to run after sufficient time has elapsed. Otherwise, you can leave the Mac in display-only sleep a weekend or two a month; you can manually Force Background Maintenance; or you can use a third-party utility such as OnyX to run the maintenance. Note that any system utility you use must be compatible with the OS version (e.g., use the Tiger version of OnyX with 10.4.x).

Will Elements or Light Room work for an old copy of CS?

I am running windows 8 and tried to install an old copy of photoshop cs. I got an error message that I needed to already have installed a copy of photoshop 5.0 or later. I no longer have my elements software so I cant re install it. Can I just get a new elements or light room and then be able to install cs?

I'm trying to determine which would be the best way for me to proceed. I'm looking for a way to manage my photos (over 22,000) with keywords and file names.
Both Elements and PSE work best if you organize and manage your collection by keywords, and not by file names. Although you can certainly go down that path if you really want to, in which case if you must use file names, Lightroom offers slightly better tools, and fewer bugs.
I am an Elements 7 user but I'm having some problems using the keywords in CS5.
Not enough information for me to understand what problems you are having, so I can't advise on this issue.
Also if I delete pictures in CS5, I have to make a lot of adjustments in Elements .
I fail to see an issue here. In fact, I don't really understand completely, what do you mean "delete pictures in CS5"? CS5 is an editor, not a file manager.
I have read the information regarding Lightroom and wonder if this is the way to go for me. It appears to be more compatible with Photoshop.
Neither Lightroom nor Elements has an advantage in its compatibility with Photoshop. Both allow you to use CS5 as an extra editor.
Both PSE and Lightroom let you do what you have described, if used properly. If you could provide more details about your needs, maybe one program or the other will become the better choice.

#### Cannot run application Application1 due to error deploying to Default.

Hi all,
Now, I am studing ADF 11. When I run my application, I meet a problem:
This problem, "can not run your application", I try to stop java, or rebuild, or clean my application... but not successfull
*#### Cannot run application Application1 due to error deploying to DefaultServer.*
*[Application Application1 stopped and undeployed from Server Instance DefaultServer]*
*[Server Instance DefaultServer is shutting down. All applications currently running will be terminated and undeployed.]*
*[sending request to shutdown server...]*
C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\system\system11.1.1.0.31.51.88\DefaultDomain\bin\stopWebLogic.cmd
Stopping Weblogic Server...
But, If I remove adf 11 software, after that I install this software then okie, and I can run my application.
Help me.
thanks all

Just for the record - my thinking is that there was an application deployed on the integrated server that was miss configured.
Instead of removing the whole system directory - you could just remove the defaultServer subdirectory there.
But even better would have been the option to remove the specific offending application see here:

Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.
