Catalog not showing up - lrcat.lock file ??

hi.  it seems as though lightroom may be corrupt.  i really have no idea - please help!  this morning i was working in LR.  everything was fine.  i shut the computer down as i normally would and i just came back to an empty LR.  when i open it, i backed up but then no catalog appeared.  nothing.  when i tried to open recent, as well as several back ups, nothing will appear.  most of the menu options are light grey, meaning you can't access them (e.g. import file, open recent, the catalogs are light gray, i can't even see "about adobe ps lr").  what is this?  when i try opening a back up, nothing.
i also notice a file that comes up when i try to open a backup.  it's the same name but ends w/ lrcat.lock
please help!!

With LR closed is there a Lightroom Catalog file in the pictures>lightroom> folder? is there also a lrcat.lock file there? If there is the .lock file there delete it.
If there is a Lightroom Catalog file still there double click on it to see if LR opens.
I have never had to utilize a back up file to recover so not sure what you need to do to recover from there, maybe someone else can advise.

  • LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files (5D mark III) by trial version

    LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files taken using 5D mark III by trial version.
    When tried to synchronize the files not show when browsing, the import window comes up. All the Jpeg files, Raw files are seen in the window. None of them are highlighted nor selectable. LR is assuming that those files are already imported but if imported they are being shown for browsing or editing

    Maybe you have set a Filter in LR. Press Ctrl-L once or twice to turn it off.
    Maybe you don't have "All Photographs" selected in the Catalog Panel on the left.

  • Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

    Just upgraded to CS6
    cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
    Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge  and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
    Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
    Really Sucks

    We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

    I experience this also sometimes (whatsapp), is this a bug??
    sometimes when a person writes 2-3 messages in a row (for instance) in whatsapp (im in standby mode), it sometimes only displayes ONE message in lock screen mode (though he/she wrote more than 1), and sometimes shows the right corresponding written messages!
    Why is this?
    its really annoyoing when you get messages in lock screen mode BUT it doesnt stay and remain so you notice it. That way you get missed messages etc and notices it first...when doing the "pull-down list".

    Where are you looking for the "Burn"?
    You should be seeing it, when you select a playlist or a smart playlist in the sidebar and then use the command "File > Burn Playlist to ..." or ctrl-click or right click the playlist and select the Burn command from the pop-up menu.
    Does it not show there?

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:

    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

  • Lightroom crashed and now I can't open the catalog - even after deleting the lock file.

    Lightrooms crashed, which is a common occurrance. But, this last time was different. After I restarted it my catalog was not linked and all my settings were gone. I tried opening the catalog through the file menu, but absolutely nothing happens. I tried going to the folder and clicking on it but this only opens lightroom with no catalog. After having scanned this forum I found that I need to delete the .lock file, but after doing that the same things happen. Any suggestions on how to open my catalog? Will reinstalling Lightroom help?

    The problems mostly happen when I am using X-Y compare in Library mode. It shows black rectancles over the tops of the sections that contain the photos and these flash. They aren't always the same size, but are only on the top of the section - never big enough to completely cover the photos. Then I get anywhere from one to about four or five extra windows stacked on top of the Lightroom Icon at the bottom of my screen (I use Windows 8) opening and closing, though there isn't enough time for me to click on them and read them because my computer gets so slow that my mouse actin is delayed by a few seconds. And, to shut Lightroom down, I need to use Windows task manager because clicking on the little red box with the X in the upper right corner accomplishes nothing. I have a new Sony Vaio i5 chip and 8Gb RAM. This also hapened on my old computer, though not as often

  • PSE 11 Catalog not showing up in Catalog Manager

    My latest battle with PSE11 is trying to access my catalog in PSE11 via the Catalog Manager but it doesn't show up in the list.  The catalog is named My Catalog 2 is located at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog 2.  It is the only catalog I use and is the one that opens up when I launch Organizer.  But, for the life of me, I can't get it to show up in the Catalog Manager.  The only catalog that shows up is the original catalog which is at a different location and was created when I installed PSE11 on my new computer (Thinkpad W530, Windows 8).  I've tried the Custom Location option and browsing to the location, but still no dice.  This catalog has thousands of pictures and was converted from my previous PSE6 catalog.  How do I get the Catalog Manager to find my current active catalog?  I need to do a repair to try and fix another problem I'm having.

    This all really started with the migration from my ancient Inspiron 8600 Win XP computer to my new Thinkpad W530 Win 8 computer and at the same time upgrading from PSE6 to PSE11.  In the process, I had to move all my pictures (1000s upon 1000s of them) to a different drive letter and main folder location than I was using on my old computer, although I kept the same subfolder structure.  This led to all the pictures being reported as missing in PSE11.  The reconnection function in PSE11 is not very good (IMO) at handling a situation like this.  The way it works, it would take forever and a day for it to search and reconnect all those picture files.  I think there was a third-party tool that worked on previous versions of PSE that would let you make mass changes to the file locations, but it doesn't work on the later versions of PSE.
    Anyway, I started doing some manual reconnecting and came across a weird situation where a few files wouldn't reconnect saying the file already existed in the catalog which didnt make sense.  So, I thought maybe an optimize/repair might fix the glitch.  This then led me to the Connection Manager problem.  I don't know, maybe all the unconnected files might be causing CM not to recognize the catalog which wouldn't make sense (to me).
    Since this situation of having files change location is likely to arise again, I had started investigating perhaps putting together some sort custom reconnect function using a sqlite db tool as you mentioned.  I was just hoping to get the files reconnected for now and move on to other things.  But, things are seldom simple and straight forward anymore.
    I did get My Catalog 2 back to my default at least.  I manually deleted the TestCatalog folder and when I launched Organizer, it prompted for a new catalog via CM.  But, CM of couse didn't list My Catalog 2.  So, I manually launched the catalog.pse11db file via file explorer and Organizer then made it my default catalog again.

  • List of recent Lightroom Catalogs not showing in the dialog at launch

    I have a friend using Lightroom 3 on a Windows 7 PC. She uses multiple catalogs. (one for each client) as do I.
    Now when she launches LR the list of recent catalogs is empty. Could this be cleared some where? Why do they not show up and  will they start showing up again after she opens different catalogs?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    If LR uses the Windows recent-files facility, and I’m not saying it does, then clearing recent documents in another area of Windows might have cleared LR’s too.    A question back to her would be whether other recent-documents lists have disappeared or only the LR-catalog recent list.  The recent-files would be user-profile specific, too, I think, so logging in with a different user would make things look different. 
    If the LR recent-library-list is something internal to LR and unrelated to the OS, then it could be part of the preferences, and if she reset preferences for any reason, then that might have cleared the catalog list.
    If this is on a Mac, then I’m not sure, but I’d expect the OS has a recently-opened-files facility, too, and that such things are tied to the user.
    Unless there is some permission problem or corruption that has caused them to disappear, they probably should start showing up, again.  It’d be easy enough for her to check, just open LR and open a catalog, then close LR and open LR, again and see if the just-opened catalog shows in the list.  If so then there’s probably nothing more to do, except not do whatever cleared the list in the first place, where we can’t really know what she did since we weren’t there.

  • Elements do not show up in edge file but they do in HTML file; no errors occured

    I am a senior in college working on building a website for a fictional company for a year-long thesis graphic design project. In my class last semester, I learned how to use Edge Animate and created an 11 page website without any trouble. I had always kept the files saved to my flash drive, and kept a backup on my personal laptop as well as on my external hard drive. There was also a backup of the files on a disc that I turned into my professor in mid-December. All of these files worked fine at the time.
    In early January, I wanted to make changes to the website so I installed a trial version of Edge Animate on my laptop. When I opened any of the edge files from any of the backups, the stage was blank and the animations did not show up on the timeline. The elements of the website still show up in the Library but they are no longer arranged on the stage. When I got back to school at the end of January, I tried opening the files on the school computers and had the same problem. I asked my professor to try the file that was saved to the disc and he encountered the same issues on his computer. All of these computers are either iMacs or Macbook Pros.
    I have not recieved any error messages and did not do anything to corrupt the files or save over them. I am able to open the html files in a browser with no issues; all animations and images work fine. The only change I can think of is that Edge may have been updated over break and when I installed the trial version I installed a newer version, and for some reason the new version of the program could not properly load my project that I started on a older version in October or November of 2013.
    I am happy to upload the files but I am unsure how to do that. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue, or will I have to start over?
    Thank you!

    Try to clear your preference and restart your Animate.See if that fixes your problem

  • IOS7 Notifications not showing in the lock screen

    Hello,
    During the day, my notifications in the lock screen show up without a problem. The problem is that for long periods of time, notifications do not show up in the lock screen. When I wake up in the morning to check the lockscreen, notifications do no show up at all. I can acess them in the control center, but they still won't show up in the lock screen.
    I have selected my notifications to show up as banners and to show up in the lock screen. I do not have do not disturb activated.
    Has anyone had a similar problem? I currently have iOS 7.0.3
    In advance, thank you for your help.

    I'm having the same problem...
    DND is off
    Show on lockscreen is checked on the notification for the app i want it to show
    Some apps show, some apps only show when i drop down the Notification Center in lockscreen
    mail, whatsapp, missed calls, show in lockscreen
    other than that...they show only in notification center...
    any ideas?

  • Mail not showing up on lock screen

    Here is my scenario.
    When waking up in morning noticed that emails received during the night do not appear on lock screen. When going in to the iPhone I swiped down to see notification center and new emails were not there.  However once I opened mail, and it received emails, I was then able to see them in the notification center.  Should it not show the emails on the lock screen without opening mail program?
    BTW, I checked settings for Mail notification center and the following options were set.
    Notification Center: ON
    Alert Style: Banner
    Badge App Icon: ON
    Show Preview: ON
    View in Lock Screen: ON
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
    ...Bruce

    @razmee: Negative. the emails are arriving, (sound plays) but no notifications are showing up.
    I just fixed this: Force Mail out of memory in the app switcher. All notifications in mail now working!
    I've seen mail do odd things like this before. Be sure to let John Gruber know that sometimes you DO need to do this!
