CC LR5 problems, becoming a major headache.

I have been looking at this needing a serial number for the last month, I spent two hours just today alone in a chat session with an adobe customer support respresentitive. I have un-installed and re-installed LR 5.4 four times today and working on the 5th install. I was told by this representitive that it was taking to long and I would be receiving an email with a open case number so I could continue to fix this problem, I have yet to receive an email and it has been almost three hours since I chatted with them. As a photographer the software we use is very vital to our jobs, it would be nice if it worked correctly half the time. I am about to be done with Adobe products if I can't get some actual solutions to the problems I am having. I need answers, I don't need links I have been to everyone of them and talked with people sending me to this person and that person within the last month and still no solution or response back. Thank you.

I keep getting the serial number request for the license agreement. All of my other apps work, I have had no problem with them. LR is the only one. I have been on the phone and chat for I don't know how many hours tyring to get back into my LR. Today alone I have installed and reinstalled so much (5x), and the rep is not telling me or doing anything different. This has been very time consuming process and still do not have a solution, what pissed me off is that he told me it was taking to long to try and get this problem fixed, he lied and said an email would come shortly with a reference number to the open case, I have yet to receive a number which the end of the conversation was at 12p.m. central time four hours ago. To me that is another two hours that I spent on here trying to get this resolved; a complete waist of time. I have been through all the links and several representitives. I am having to pay a monthly fee but it has not worked for me since I un-installed my "hardcopy" and installed from the cloud, You can see where my frustration is coming from.

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Can't sing into my account this has become a major problem!!!

1. I have accidentally tried to sign in with the wrong password in to my I cloud account
2. So this leads to resetting the password.
3. To reset the password you need to answer the security question of which I only have one and I do not remember the answer since I set I such a long time ago (still mac account days)
4. The rescue email provided is the mac account email which I can not check because the system is blocked.
So there is no way I can gain access to my account again I am in a loop as you can see from the points above.
Believe me I tried everything talked to apple care for hours and went to an apple store no one could provide help.
But I really do not want to loose my account and even more important my email.
So please give me a phone number or an email so I can talk to someone that is able to help me..... it must be possible to regain access somehow.
As you can see the closer you look the bigger the issue is and at this point I really don't know what to do anymore.
Please help me to fix this. Thanks in advance....

2 months of 'my' problem is a major outage at my l...

I would like to praise the staff at the BT call centre, for doing an excellent job under extreme presure, with little or no help from other BT technicians. for the past 2 months i have been in contact with them about 'my' connection problem. the advisor who took my case called me up to day, to say that all my woes can be traced to a major service outage at my local exchange, that is not only affecting me, but a lot of people - much to his astonishment and dispair, as no-one in the centre knew anything about the problem. I only knew of the problem due to using a different modem to the bthub, and a download monitor they are working on the problem, but i wonder how many other people on here are suffering the same 'fault' as me - it being their local exchange, and not them.. by the look of it, quite a few.
below i summarise my journey to discovery (which is/was going to be the basis of my complaint, now fingures crossed - not needed)
Prior to June 30th 2010, I received an email from BT services saying that if I re-signed up on my option 3 plan, my current speed of 7mbps could be increased to around 13mbps – I signed up.
On or about 1st July 2010, Btbroadband suffered a major outage, losing the service for 2 days or so. After about 5 days, I still had not regained a proper service. I was receiving a asdl2 line speed of 0.01Kbp, so I made enquiries with the BT help desk, who blamed a fault in my BT home hub modem even though I told them I did not use it prior to the problem, and only connected it after calling BT.
The day before my new Bthomehub2 modem arrived, I regained some level of service –
on July 6th 2010, of around 2420kbps. Although extremely unhappy that my so called upgrade was infact been a downgrade, which had left me with half of what I had had before, I believed the BT help desk who had said their system was not at fault, so resigned my self to be on that speed.
I did a full system overhaul and rolled my system back a couple of months prior to ‘my’ problem, and brought and fitted a netgear router, all to no effect, with my speed remaining constant at around 2418kbps.
On August 28th 2010, my speed dropped to 1963kbps
On August 29th 2010, my speed dropped to 729kbps
On August 29th 2010, my speed dropped to 340kbps
It then proceeded that my new ‘upto 20mb’ speed was 340kbps, and has remained so.
On August 31st 2010, at 18.17hrs the BT help desk had my line reset to 6767kbps. I was getting a full service
On September 1st 2010 by 05:20hrs the connection had dropped to 495kbps. By 07.28, it had reverted back to 340kbps.
On September 4th 2010, after a BT engineers visit, my DSL connection rate had been set to 8124kbps, with my ip profile set at 350kbps. tests on other speed checkers showed a 339kbps connection. I was told that the signal would improve, as it needed to synchronise .The engineer departed at 15.20 on having done wire test from phone point and computer room. Capability of line was 18.6mb.
I was away that evening, but by the time I returned on September 5th 2010, my connection had reverted back to 340kbps.
Since then, my speed has been an average of around 340kbps.

I'm working on my iMac PowerMac8,2 PowerPC G5 (3.1) 2 GHz machine and have been having problems with the computer shutting down unpredictably. After the problem becoming impossible to work with, I shut the machine down. Now a little better, but reoccuring

I'm working with my iMac PPC G5, PowerMac8,2, 2 GHz machine running OS X 10.4.11, and was having a problem for a while with the machine shutting down unexpectedly. There was no clear pattern to when it was shutting down as far as I could tell. For a while, it would also not restart when buttoned on.
I set the machine aside for a while, probably a month or more, and then got it back out after its rustication. It started up and runs significantly better than it had been, but I have noticed it shutting down sometimes now again, though not as frequently as before. Sometimes it runs for a good long time between active work, sleep mode, and active work again. Once in a while it does shut down when no one is working on it (while asleep). But now it always restarts when buttoned on.
I've done the thorough vacuuming of any dust from the unit vents. I wonder if there's anything else I should try. In most other ways the machine works pretty well and has become the family desktop for basic uses, so I'd like to keep it running if I can. A little frustrating to not be able to upgrade all programs (iTunes) to useable versions, but that's another story....
I would appreciate any ideas about the shut down problem.

Option 1
Reset your PRAM. Press and hold down the Command Option P R keys while starting your computer. You will hear the startup chime. continue holding down those keys until you hear the startup chime a second time. Release the keys. If the computer restarts, you will need to reset your Date and Time. It might be time to replace your PRAM battery. The G5 iMacs require a 3 volt CR2032 lithium watch/camera battery like below:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CR2032/
You can find these batteries at Walmart, Kmart, Target, most local drugstore chains, for between $3-$5, or at Radio Shack for $12-$20.
If you have any G5 iMac model EXCEPT the iSight version, you can probably do the battery install yourself. Watch this video on upgrading your iMac's RAM to show you how to remove the back of your iMac, if you don't already know how:
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_g5_mem_m/
While you have the back off, use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out the vents at the bottom of the iMac, the fans, and anywhere else you can. Also inspect the 28-30 capacitors on the logic board. Look for dark spots, if they look puffy or swollen, or leaks.
Option 2
Reset the SMC by removing all cables (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Modem, Power cord) from the back of your computer. Let it sit for one minute. Press and hold the power on button on the back of the iMac while plugging in the power cord. Release the power on button. Count to five, the press the power on button again.
Option 3
Place your original, came with the iMac when purchased install disk, into the slot on the iMac, press and hold the C key while pressing the power on button on the back of the computer. (If you have upgraded your OS from when you purchased your iMac, example your iMac came with OS 10.3 installed, and you're now using OS 10.5, then use the OS 10.5 Retail Install disk that you had used to upgrade your OS instead of the original, came with the iMac disk.)
Continue holding the C key until you see the OS starting to load. DO NOT do an OS installation. At the top Menu bar, select Utilities or Utility, and pull down to Disk Utility. On the left side of the window that opens,select your normal OS drive. Click First Aid at the top middle of the window if it isn't already selected. Click Repair Disk from the lower right area of the window. When that is done, click Repair Permissions to the left of the Repair Disk button you clicked earlier.
When that is done, quit Disk Utility. From the top Menu bar (I think its under Utilities) select the Start Up Manager, and choose your normal boot volume as the startup disk. Restart the computer. If successful, and you've rebooted from your normal startup disk, eject the install DVD/CD, and you're good to go.
Good luck.

CS3 Upgrade & Camera Raw 4.5 = MAJOR HEADACHE!

I bought a D300. Then found out that the only way to use Photoshop with it was to upgrade the Camera Raw plug-in to 4.5, which could ONLY be used with CS3. So NOW I have THOUSANDS of dollars in camera gear and software that has caused me more headaches than putting 4 kids through high school.
P4, 4 GB RAM a gazzilion bytes of hard drive space and I'm getting the dreaded blue screen of death after going through 3 or 4 photos in CS3's Bridge.
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT or something like that. I've emailed support and nothing. Very disappointing to say the least.
I've got it down to faulting after going through about 10 pics now but NOW, on SOME of the Nikon (.NEF) files, it's telling me that "Photoshop CS2 cannot be found!"
I'm sorry, but I'm very close to dousing this thing with lighter fluid and sending the ashes back to Adobe. I have over 1000 photos to process from the weekend it's it's IMPOSSIBLE to do it with these errors.
YES, I did the Camera Raw update per the instructions.

Elginet - your error message points to RAM problems. Perhaps your PS uses more RAM than other software and therefore the error only shows up when using PS. You could try to remove part of the memory just to locate the problem if it is within one or two memory banks. With 2 GByte the computer should run PS even though a bit slow. Once you located the problem you could either replace the defective memory or replace the whole set depending on your configuration.
It is not necessarily a hardware fault it could be a setting for memory access in the BIOS.
Basically CS3 and ACR4.5 work fine on many computers and it is very stable on my machine under Win XP-pro. Be certain it is not a general problem.
Best of luck that you can resolve your problem.
Cheers

IMovie and Cinema mode = MAJOR headaches!

Hi there. I've been having this issue for some time now and while I've read similar topics on multiple forums (including this one) I have yet to find a viable fix.
My problem is importing video from my Panasonic mini DV cam after shooting in Cinema mode (widescreen) iMovie doesn't seem to handle it well. Even when I set iMovie to 16:9 (widescreen) before importing, the video becomes squashed or stretched EVERY time I do. It happened in HD06 as well. I have heard that by importing to Quicktime Pro and saving at a certain resolution it will format it correctly, then importing back to iMovie for editing. I'm not sure on the proper steps though. If anyone knows about this or has another solution PLEASE help! I have wedding footage that I need to edit and with the my current imports it's looking horrible!
Message was edited by: Michael Carney

That's an oldish model, and I think that its 16:9 mode is emulated 16:9 ..which means that either - as I mentioned above - it chops off the top and bottom of the picture to give a result which looks wider than normal, or it just spreads each pixel wider to look like 16:9.
It will send a signal to a TV to tell it to display the video as 16:9 ..though it's actually been shot on a 4x3-shaped CCD.
This widescreen display signal, though, doesn't do anything in iMovie, because iMovie detects the actual format in which the video was recorded (4:3 ..masquerading as 16:9). So iMovie displays it in the wrong shape.
By importing your video, then opening each clip in QuickTime Pro and resizing it and Saving it (..as described above..) you should then be able to open it in the correct shape in iMovie ..HOWEVER, I've tried doing exactly that on several occasions, and the new 16:9 dimensions which I've given to clips have NOT been recognised by iMovie when the clips have been re-imported into iMovie! ..It's an annoying characteristic which I've referred to the iMovie Developers.
Sometimes the newly changed dimensions DO work with iMovie, but often not. It's a shame.
You can edit within QuickTime Pro, but it's not so simple as editing in iMovie.
(..I'm just trying to think how I got round this business of QT adjustments not being recognised in iMovie ..I think maybe I exported the resized videos to some other device, like an Archos pocket video recorder..
..then re-imported from that ..but I can't quite remember..)
You can assemble a long movie in QT Pro by adding video sequences to a movie, but there isn't the range of "tweaks" (..transitions, titling, etc..) available in QT Pro which are there in iMovie.
I don't know if you can send to iDVD ..or rather, import into iDVD.. a QT-Pro-assembled movie: you should be able to with no problem, but I've never tried.
But you could easily try that yourself! ..Open a video clip in QTP and resize it. Then open another clip in QTP and resize it. Add the 2nd clip to the 1st clip (..there are QTP tutorials online here..) and Save your work, then open iDVD and import the movie you've just created in QTP.
I don't know if iDVD will recognise the -s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d- 16:9 format which you've resized in QTP, or if it will ignore it.
Why not give it a try and report back..? ..the worst outcome might be that you'd waste a few cents worth of blank DVD..

LR5: Problems migrating catallog from PC to MAC

Hi all.
I've been searching all day for a possible fix to my issue. Here are the details, hopefully someone will have more ideas as I'm out.
I changed from a Windows PC to a Macbook Pro recently and kept my .lrcat for what I tought would be a smooth transition.
On the Windows 7 system, I had Lightroom 4 with the catalog on the local drive and the pictures on a network drive (NTFS WD Elements, shared through a WD TV Live). My typical workflow would be to copy new JPG files from the SD card (Camera: Nikon 5100) to the shared drive via Wifi (Router: wndr3400) then import them to my Lightroom catalog, edit and export to another folder on the same external hard drive.
On the MAC running Mavericks I installed LR 5 and moved the old lrcat file to "pictures/lightoom", LR5 upgraded the catalog file and next I updated the folder location to look in the external HDD. But to my surprise all the images (JPG) show no preview and a "!" error that reads "Lightroom has encountered problems with this photo". Then I tried importing the files to a new catalog but will show error "This file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
All the files are accesible (not corrupted) though Preview in the MAC and curiously if I plug the external drive to the MAC (I have Paragon NTFS installed) and update the folder location within Lightroom, I can edit files so that way it all works fine. I also tried reformating the HDD to HFS+ to no avail and also connecting to the external HDD via cifs instead of smb with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas on how I could get this to work as it was with the Windows system? Thanks!

OK, after hours of searching the internet for a possible solution, I finally gave up. Fixed the problem by just copying the old iTunes library from my windows machine to my mac. That was basically what I was trying to avoid, but there seems to be no other way.

10.4.9 is causing me major headaches!

Last night, I again, tried installing the 10.4.9 Combo Update. It hung at the "100% completed" mark as it had the night before. I went to bed and let it sit there for 8 hours. This morning, the installer was still hung at the same point! And I continue to have three very significant problems.
1) when I download applications (using Speed Download 4.1.10 as my default downloader), and the .dmg tries to mount, I get an error window saying that the disk image failed to mount because of a "Broken Pipe." There doesn't seem to be anyway that I can get these files to mount thereafter. (I also tried coing back to Speed Download 4.1.9 and the same problem appeared.)
2) Safari will, frequently, hang when loading a web page. The "address" window will be totally blue (as if it is just finishing loading the page) then I will get a spinning beach ball that stays there forever. I need to do a force quit to get out of it. If I go into Safari again, a page will load, and then I may not get a hang until I go to a 2nd, 3rd, 7th page. It is unpredictable. If I use FireFox 2.0.0.2 I don't seem to have this problem.
3) When I try to do anything that requires an admin password (e.g., run Onyx, Tiger Cache Cleaner, System Preferences and work with accounts, etc.) the system will deny my admin password saying that it is invalid. Once I reboot, it will accept my password, for maybe one or two uses in programs that require it (including OS 10.4.9), but then it will stop recognizing my admin password and I will have to re-boot..
The one mistake I may have made on the initial install attempt on Friday night was that I did not disconnect my FW and USB stuff before attempting the install.
Can soneone please give me some suggestions on how I can get OS 10.4.9 to install properly and (I hope) clear up these problems! I have already wasted enough time trying running TechTool Pro, disk utility (before and after each install attempt, Disk Warrior, and even doing a "Repair Disk" from the original Tiger install CD!! Nothing helps, and I dread having to do an archive and install to go back to 10.4.8.
Thank you for your help.

Hi James,
I had a similar problem downloaing 10.4.9 but in my case the icon showd a full download but it wouldn't open saying that it was not a complete download. Tried about a dozen time without success. Finally, in frustration, I went to my regular Apple store where I buy all my Mac stuff and they burned a DVD for me which worked perfectly.
Are you able to do the same?

Help

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can't apply Graduated Filter and Radial Filter in LR5 (photo becomes grey box)

Hi,
I am using the Lightroom 5, every functions are working fine, except the Graduated Filter and Radial Filter casuing me a problem.
When I click on the Graduated Filter / Radial Filter button, and trying to apply the filter (i.e. draw the eclipse) on my photo, my photo in the central pane immediately turns grey, as per below screenshot.
I have to click the Library Module and then click Develop Module in order to get back the photo showing in the central pane, but the same problem appears if I tried to use the Graduated and Radial Filters.
Anybody knows the root cause and solution ? Please kindly help. Thank you !

The easiest thing should be to simply apply the preset to an image, then choose to Update with Current Settings and make sure Graduated Filter is unchecked. Move through all of your presets like this.
I don't know how many suspect presets you have to go through, but you can also manually edit them with a simple text editor to remove the Graduated filter. If you right-click on the preset, you can show in Explorer/Finder. Open the file in Notepad/TextEdit and simply remove the GradientBasedCorrections section (this has many sub-fields, most of which start with "Local"). Save the file and move on to the next.

So out of nowhere my computer gets all these strange problems... Headache

Recently, after having my computer problem-free for quite some time now since the day I bought it, I'm starting to have problems with my Mac. Out of nowhere really, I'm getting several seemingly random problems I'll just go ahead and list:
- iTunes won't open.. says "an unknown error occurred (13014)"
- The Spotlight search function in the top-right corner is gone
- Can't change my desktop background
- Can't drag & drop icons on desktop or toolbar
Among other problems...
Even more, when I entered my OS X Installation disc it wouldn't allow me to reinstall it. Then when I go to eject the CD, it won't allow it to come out. Very strange indeed... Like I said before, my Mac was problem-free until now. I had none of these strange problems until just the other day.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If you are under warranty, make a Genius Bar appointment and take it in.
You should also try running Repair Permissions from Applications/ Utilities/ Disk Utility.
If you really cannot get your install disc to load, try starting in single-user mode and running the fsck command:

Good luck!

Iptables, privoxy, polipo & tor.. major headache.

Hello all
I've made another post about this, but it got me nowhere. So I thought I'd repost with a better description of my problem.
I'm trying to set up a method whereby I can connect to privoxy from firefox, which is in turn connected to polipo, which in turn is connected through tor, and then have all the rest of my traffic routed through port 9040 (tor's TransPort). So:

duly noted. I appreciate your feedback, but most unfortunately, your constructive criticism does not answer my initial question.
[EDIT]
for the sake of simplicity, I grouped privoxy and polipo under gid "proxy" and tried to use iptables to redirect all but that traffic to port 9040. It still won't work. Here's my iptables config:
# Generated by iptables-save v2.4.15 on Fri Oct 12 16:33:33 2012

I've tried every combination of rules I can imagine, and nothing I do seems to redirect traffic properly. At the moment, traffic can get through my proxies but it also gets redirected to 9040, which causes tor to deny it.

Premiere Elements 8.0 Trial Version - Major Headache HELP NEEDED!!!!

I successfully downloaded the trial version of this product with a view to purchasing at a later stage.
The installation was going well until right at the last minute, when the installation decided to uninstall itself.
Has anybody else had this problem?
I am running Windows Vista Home Edition and have recently installed the latest SP2......just wondering whether this has caused the problem

What browser are you using for the Premiere Elements 8 download from Adobe? Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer (what version?), other.
Mozilla Firefox will not give me a successful download of this software, whereas Internet Explorer (version 6) will. You could try the download from another browser.
Even when I was using Internet Explorer, I had a rough time downloading Photoshop Elements 8. The download kept coming with the name Premiere Elements, instead of Photoshop Elements. I believe that problem was on Adobe's end, since I kept retrying the download every so often, and the problems cleared in the early hours of the morning.
Since I have successfully downloaded Premiere Elements 8, I have had a few odd things going on with my computer, Windows XP Professional SP3. Premiere Elements 8 still does not import .flv. There is a plugin for accomplishing this that works for Premiere Elements 3 and 4, but not 7. I have downloaded and used it and subsequently uninstalled it, no problem. So now I decide to download it to try it on Premiere Elements 8. It will obsolutely not install. It keeps telling me that I do not have any version of Premiere or Premiere Elements installed on my computer. I do have, Premiere Elements 2, 4, 7, as well as 8. Of course, not all opened at the same time. So now I have to figure out why the plugin could be installed with 2, 4, and 7, but not 2, 4, 7, and 8....need to pin down cause and effect.

Podcast app in iOS 6 is a major headache. Need help.

I just downloaded iOS 6 as well as the Podcast App, and my podcasts from "Music" do not all transfer to the Podcast App. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Odd also is that the synch problem I have with the Podcast app is onky on my iPod Touch where I've downloaded both the app and iOS 6. On my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 where I am still on iOS 5, the Podcast app seems to work, albeit I still receive the "We are sorry, but we are unable to authorize your account. Please contact customer service" for certain Podcast subscriptions.

CC LR5 problems, becoming a major headache.
