Catalog list blank on startup

When launching LR 4.3RC, the dialog box appears with no catalogs listed. Clicking in the blank field where the names should be makes the one under the cursor appear. Clicking each line will eventually populate the whole list. Is this a known bug? Can it be fixed?

Hmmm, what happens if you hold Shift key at bootup?

App. automatically launches, but not listed in accounts/startup items

I have a pesky application which automatically launches on start-up, yet it's not listed in accounts/startup items. It's called Microtek scanner finder. I seem to remember it started doing it when I originally got the scanner and installed software, and although it's always niggled I didn't mind when I was using the scanner. However, I'm not using the scanner anymore so want to be rid of it in my dock. Where the heck is it coming from? I don't want to chuck all the software as there may be an occasion where I need to scan a transparency, when I'll need to get the old scanner down from the loft... any ideas? It definitely launches as there is a little black triangle beneath the icon in the dock. If I quit it, it disappears but is back there again on another start-up grrrrr.

Hi, Kathykate. I have a similar Epson Scanner Monitor application that starts up each time I restart my computer. (Mine does appear in Sys Prefs > Accounts > my account > Startup Items, so I could delete it from there if I wanted to.) It runs all the time in the background, using a tiny amount of CPU and memory, and it has no user interface at all: If I quit it, nothing visibly changes, and if I open it again, there's no visible sign that it's open (including no icon in the dock for it). Its only function is to detect my Epson Scanner when I plug it in and turn it on. I ignore it the rest of the time, because whether it's running or not has no impact whatsoever on anything I do. I suggest that you take the same attitude toward your Microtek app.

How do I clean up my "Recent Catalogs" list?

I have catalogs listed that don't exist, don't open in LR3, etc. ... it's a mess. I want to remove specific items, or clean it all up and start over. How do I edit/clean this list??

OK, wait just a second.
"I have catalog files that do exist on the file system but I'd rather not have them listed." says nothing about listed catalog files that don't exist, so does not technically contradict what I initially stated. If you're going to get all pedantic, then get it right.
So, your confusion of what I said makes it OK to accuse me of lying? What brought that on? I'm not lying, I'm confused, and so are you. I asked a polite question and didn't attack anyone. Your accusation is abusive, and has been reported.
Back to the topic at hand. This isn't about what catalog files I do or don't have on my system, it's about the list of recent catalogs that Lightroom presents me. So, it does appear that moving or deleting or renaming the catalog files that Lightroom points to in its list of recent catalogs will result in Lightroom not displaying that catalog file in the list. That seems unnecessarily difficult in my opinion. Photoshop has a "clear recent" item at the bottom of the File -> Open Recent listing, so it seems that Lightroom as an Adobe Photoshop family product would have more continuity if the same were added to Lightroom.
Thanks Ian for the workaround.
Hal - loosen up.

My screen has gone blank on startup and occasionally a grey folder with a question mark appears. I have tried rebooting either by pressing the start up with power or pram.. Neither attempts have worked ! My iMac is 2008. Please help :)

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Hello,
As Far as I'm aware it is not possible to do an LOC search in the Product catalog search as the design means that the LOC at area level are replicated to an S-index on Trex, This will only be replicated during an initial replication.
But when the search is done the query will be on the P index that does not contain the LOC . I'm not sure if you have an LOC on headder level will this be replicated to the P index and then maybe possible to extend the search but I have not tested this.
Regards
Mark

HT1444 Screen is blank on startup but works fine when doing a safe boot. What could be wrong?

I have a Mac book pro 15 inch and the screen goes blank on startup. Screen comes up on safe boot. Also updated OS on line and do not have a backup disk to repair from. What should I do?

got system to boot up in safe mode and went into disk utility and did a repair on disk permissions and restarted, now everything seems to be working as it should. Now i don't have to go out and buy a new Mac but than again maybe I should.

ICal Calendar List Blank in Lion

I don't recall this being the case when I first installed Lion, but the list of calendars in iCal has gone missing and the overall behavior of the application is problematic. This first came up when I noticed that Holiday events were displayed twice in the calendar. I clicked on calendar to get a list to see if perhaps the Holiday calendar was duplicated. No list appeared. At some point, I clicked on the calendar display itself and the missing pane appeared. It was, however, blank.
Clicking on the list itself produces no result.
Any ideas?
Have to say I'm deeply disappointed in this release of iCal - between bugs like this, the removal of features (like being able to just display the list of calendars in a section of the display), and the idiotic, unnecessary skeuomorphic user interface the application has become a triumph of form over actual function.

Installation continues to degrade. On startup of the application, all buttons and controls are missing.
Closing and restarting iCal causes the buttons and controls to return, but all calendar entries are missing.
Restarting the computer causes the sequence to start again - controls are missing, restarting the app brings them back but then calendar entries are useless.
Totally useless.

Photos missing from catalog list

Ok, let's see if I can explain my problem. I had all of my photos saved on an external hard drive. After recently purchasing Adobe PSE 9, I began to organize all of my photos using PSE. I had my photos organized into album categories and then broken down further into albums. For example,category: Halloween and then Halloween 2009, Halloween 2010, etc. I upload/backed up my pictures to photoshop.com. Now all of my catalog names are still listed on the right side of the screen, but the albums in each catagory are gone. Also, the photos are still displayed in the Media Browser and they each have a green tag that says the photo is in a particular Album. But I can no longer view my pics by album, I have to scroll through all 10,000 pictures to find the ones I want.
How can I fix this?

It seems that all the albums/categories are in collasped state. You would need to expand all the albums/categories from the albums panel.

ICal Calendars list blank, MissingSync, MobileMe issues

I'm using OS X 10.4.11 and iCal 2.0.5. I recently installed Missing Sync 6.0.4 for Palm OS (to sync with a Palm TX), so am finally actually using iCal instead of the Palm calendar. I also just got around to resubscribing to .mac (without realizing that I was doing so smack in the midst of the MobileMe launch). I'm listing all three of these questions together in case there's some connection -- most likely something connected to MissingSync or MobileMe setup.
1. iCal was working fine for me, synched with the Palm via Missing Sync, etc., but now I can't see the list of calendars. I can see events in the calendar itself, color-coded for different calendars, but nothing shows up in the calendars list (left-hand pane). Any ideas how to get that list back?
And two other questions, in case anyone here has answers:
2. Sent this query to Mark/Space (MissingSync) a couple days ago, but no reply yet -- when I sync Palm and iCal, events entered on the Palm do not get copied to the laptop. No error messages, and all else goes fine ... Events conduit is set for "Synchronize," "All calendars," and to put read-only events in "Unfiled."
3. Sent this query twice to Mac's MobileMe help, but have gotten only a completely unhelpful form letter with generic links back ... (Yes, I realize their support people are probably utterly bogged down right now.) I used to have .Mac, but expired 1/07. Now have a .Me account. I can't sync at all, even just to my iDisk (let alone with my other Mac) -- .Mac in System Preferences won't let me set up Sync (when I click that tab, it "thinks" for a while, then get a "problem with the sync operation: .Mac login failed" error message). Specifically re: iCal: is there some workaround? Some painless way to sync iCal events to iDisk without a functioning Sync feature? I'm hoping the sync failure is just a temporary glitch, and not a sign that I need to upgrade to Tiger if I want basic .Mac-level functionality, but main thing is just being able to view/use my iCal calendars from my work computer!

Installation continues to degrade. On startup of the application, all buttons and controls are missing.
Closing and restarting iCal causes the buttons and controls to return, but all calendar entries are missing.
Restarting the computer causes the sequence to start again - controls are missing, restarting the app brings them back but then calendar entries are useless.

PSE 8 catalog in custom location not shown in catalog list

I am trying to help a client recover from a computer problem. She was having several types of problems with her PC a couple of months ago. PSE 8 seemed to be working ok at the time, and my memory tells me I Reconnected all missing files (if there were any), Repaired and Optimized, as is my usual practice. I then did a full backup to an external drive. She then had her son fix her computer in some way shape or form. He lives out of state. I got a call and she said she was ready for me to get her PSE 8 back up and running.
When I got there, we discovered she did not have the PSE 8 CDs. She he bought it online from Adobe but never copied it to a CD etc. We decided she would buy PSE 10 and download it. I had never downloaded any from the Adobe Store and was totally shocked to discover it was a three hour download. Other equally large files I have downloaded from Adobe would have taken 20-30 min. While it was downloading I even went hoe and started the download on my internet connection. It would have taken an equal amount of time. Sorry, I strayed.
After we installed PSE 10, I did a Restore from the PSE 8 backup I made a couple of months ago. I have done this many times over the years with very good results. We got a message saying the catalog was successfully restored. But when I went to convert it to PSE 10, an error appeared saying the conversion failed and we shoulf try restoring it on to PSE 8 and try abother Backup.
That's the background. I do still have PSE 8 on a PC at home. I restored the Catalog to a custonm location (a second internal drive). All of the 5300 pictures or visible, tags appear to be in order etc.
But before trying a Back-up I wanted to Repair and Opimize the Catalog (named my Catalog). But with the catalog visible, the area where I expected to see [Current] is blank, and the Repair etc buttons are grayed out. I'm stumped. The only think I can think to do is to back another backup and try to restore that one on her PSE 10 after I dry run it at home.
I'f attached a screen shot showing the dialog box in quesation. I now see where it is quite small, you should be able to see the areas of the screen I'm referring to.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
TIA

Brett,
Thanks for the quick reply. It seemed like a simple solution, but it did not work. Going up one level did not change anything. The area is still blank and the choices are still grayed out.
Can you think of anything else?

Why is my "Recent Purchases" list blank (not empty - blank)?

I'm running the latest iTunes (11.1.3 (8)) on my MacBook Pro (10.6.8) and I have bought lots of tunes in iTunes.
However, when I click on "iTunes Store" to go to the store, and then "Purchased" under "Quick Links", and then select "Recent Purchases" on the left, I get a list of 200 blank lines. The space for them is there, but there's nothing but whiteness.
Everything else seems to work fine in iTunes; just the list of purchased items is blank. Suggestions?

The solution - turn cookies back on in Safari.
I'm guessing here, but it seems likely that iTunes uses the same rendering engine as Safari, and perhaps it is also dependant on Safari's use or non-use of cookies.
What I know for sure is this - once I turned cookies back on in Safari, my list of Purchased items was populated, instead of being blank. So, hope this helps others.
(I didn't have to reload my library, or any of the other things that others have suggested.)

Why is my autocorrect list blank?

Hello. In System Preferences > Keyboard > Text is the option for autocorrection of typos. There is a list of Replace/With. My list is blank. It has been like that since I installed Mavericks. Is this normal?

Hey stroika,
Thanks for the question. This is normal behavior. This list is available so you can set custom replacements:
The Replace list shows words or phrases you want to have replaced when you type them, and the With list shows the words or phrases that will be used as the replacements. To change a word or phrase, click it in a list, then type a new word or phrase.

Drop down lists blank entry

Can a drop down list be returned to blank. It seems to be possible when testing (the first line is blank) but not when an actual document?

If you are using a web form then the field should have the ability to be reset to blank by selecting the top item in the drop down (which is blank). This is just like when you test the form. If this is not the case then please let me know what Browser you are using and email me a link to your form.
If you are using PDF then the answer is a bit more complicated. If you do not save the form data after submit then all answers are cleared. If you have Acrobat Pro you can use the Clear Form tool (even after saving the form data). This will clear all form data. If you have Adobe Reader then you do not have the ability to clear the form data once you have saved the file.
I hope this helps.
