Contrast gets lost (2 Macs, one catalog)

I am working with LR 5.4 on IMac and MacBook Pro in one catalog (external HDD). I finished one wedding series and exported it (MacBook). Now I opened it in catalog on IMac. One second my black and white pictures looks nice. After that the contrast gets fully lost. Whats going wrong?
I am saving all my presets & stuff in my catalog

So you're exporting from one LR catalogue and importing on the other? That isn't how I'd do it. I'd export as catalog on the first machine and Import from Catalog on the other.
Be that as it may, you ought to check the following things on the second computer's Lightroom:
--Go to Preferences, Presets tab and make sure that "Apply auto tone adjustments" is not checked.
--Make sure you aren't specifying a preset on import.
--Make sure you haven't set a Default Develop Setting. In develop module, hold the Alt key and push the reset button in the lower right. Choose Restore Adobe Default Settings.

Attachments getting lost on Mac Mail, but not on iPad/iPhone

We use several Mac computers, iPhones and iPads in our business, with GoDaddy as our email server. Emails with attachments work fine on the iPhones and iPads, but we are now losing the attachments on the Mac computers. This has recently happened. Any ideas? Is this a software update issue? I am running the OS X 10.8.3 version.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Connection getting lost on Mac Pro running mavericks

We have replaced one of our old Xserve fileservers with a new Mac Pro running Mavericks. This is one of four systems we use to reduce dense geospatial data into descriptive assets. Up to 20 iMac workstations can be accessing data on this server simultaneously. The problem we are experiencing since, the switch to the new fileserver, is that the workstations seem to be randomely loosing their connection to the data. We don't have this problem with any of our four other systems configured as Xserves, running Lion. Any suggestions or experiences that would suggest a place to start looking?

Figured it out - there was an app that was being run at login and the hide this app button was checked on that app. The app has a dialogue box that pops up when the app starts. Because this box was being hidden it was impossible to click "OK" so the system kept trying to pop up that dialogue box, causing the app that was being used to shift to the background.

LR5 - one catalog to work on both Mac-OSX and PC-Windows versions of Lightroom ?

Hi,
I need help to determine if this workflow has a chance to work.
PC-Windows computer is at home, I travel with MacBook Air with OSX system.
I place a job in a catalog that is located in a 'dropbox' folder, so a folder that auto-synchronizes itself on both the Mac & PC.
Will I be able to edit photos inside the very same one LR5-catalog on both Mac & PC or a PC-created catalog cannot be opened on Mac ?
What I basically want to achieve is have raw files on PC, start work on PC, but when I try I wanted to use SMart Previews to be able to do edits on the go, pick up where I finished on the PC and when I get back home for the catalog to be synchronized so any edit I did on the MacBook to be visible back on the PC so I can just smoothly work on images regardless of which machine I use.
How to accomplish that ?

exFAT is probably your best bet because it doesn't have file size limitations that FAT32 does and is readable and writable by both Windows and the Mac OS. I have no idea what your TV wants; best to check the owners manual.
Those formats won't damage the files but I have seen quite a few comments that the exFAT formatting should be done on a Windows computer even though Disk Utility offers that option.

HT201250 I have thousands of pictures on my Mac. If something happens to my Mac I don't want them lost. I do time machine back ups to an external hard drive once a week. Is this good enough for making sure my pictures don't ever get lost?

Purchase a couple of these when they go on sale.
Start burning all the photos onto DVDs.
At least you'll have all your photos if your computer, time machine or any other backup you use goes bonkers.

I have photoshop cc and a mac book pro. I cannot access my photos from photoshop. I can go to iPhoto and click edit to edit them in photoshop, but photoshop won't open them. I want to do a collage, so I need to get to more than one photo.

See if exporting them helps:

If you're running Mountain Lion (which I'm assuming you are if your MBP is new) you can set up Find My Mac under System Preferences>iCloud. You can also use a free online service such as Prey.
No guarantee to keep your MBP from being stolen, but at least you can find it if it's on (and if the criminals aren't Mac experts).

Tags get lost when archived (Mac OS X 10.8, Thunderbird 31.6.0)

I tag messages in Inbox and Sent folder immediately, later archive them with "A" shortcut. This worked well until I upgraded Thunderbird to 31.6.0.
Now my tags get lots when moving to the Archive, and even when I tag them again, tags get lost after a while (restart of thunderbird it seems).
This problem occurred in the German version, testing the English version for a few days, tags do not get lost, it works fine.
I got the idea to change to the basic version from another thread, where a Turkish user had problems with tags as well.

Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

Mavericks Cover flow in Finder gets lost

This is a repost from "Lion" category. Fits better here.
"have upgraded to Mavericks, and I am having trouble with Coverflow in the Finder. When I delete files it gets lost, showing previews of files that are not the ones that are highlighted. The spacebar preview seems to work, showing me the actual contents, but the coverflow view is for a different file. Also, if there is a long list of files in the folder, it cannot display the files further down the list.
I was in the middle of a large project, going through thousands of photos in finder, when I upgraded. I had the perfect workflow, using coverflow, and it worked flawlessly in Lion. It seems this got boken in the update."
-crazyBrit
I'm having the same problem. If I navigated away from a folder it was happening with for a while, the ghost perviews in the coverflow would disappear, but it would still happen if I tried to move or delete a file.

Several of my applications (adobe acrobat, CAD) often crash (and need to be Forsed Quit) when I try to open a file using Cover Flow. AutoCAD release the following advisory:
AutoCAD crashes or file navigation dialog boxes close unexpectedly in Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Issue
AutoCAD crashes or the open dialog boxes close unexpectedly while using Open or other file navigation dialogs in AutoCAD on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks).
Solution
This happens when you use Cover Flow view mode in a dialog box and navigate across folders. This issue will need to be corrected by Apple in a future Mavericks update.
To work around this issue, do not use the Cover Flow view mode in file navigation dialog boxes such as Open, New, Save, External Reference attach, PDF attach, Image attach, Import, Export, etc.
This is particularly annoying when trying to select a particular graphic file to work on. I wind up opening a finder window in Cover Flow to find the particular graphic I want to open and then looking for the file name in List View in the Open diaglog box.

Link to Video files gets lost

I am using Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac App Store). Ich have my project in the video folder of MacOS X, because after the installation of PRE11 the software forced me to copy the project that I've started in PRE9 to that folder. In the project a list of Video files was already included. The video files are on an external hard drive, plugged with USB 2.0.
After coming back to my project several times later and restarting the software, all links to the video files gets lost and I had to relink them one by one, even when I select more than one and click on Edit/Search Media. With more than 100 video files this is very annoying. Is there a way to bring PRE to the point that it remembers the links? I think this should be the minimum of a video editing software for that price.

Welcome to the forum.
With the material on an external, you will need to set the Volume name (like a PC's drive letter, but with differences), to match what it was, when the material was Imported.
When media is Imported, the actual media files are NOT Copied over to the Project, but instead, absolute Paths to the media files are established in lnks to it. If anything changes in the absolute Path, then PrE will find the links broken, and they must be re-established.
On a PC, I could step you through the process of setting the drive letter in the OS, so that it is always the same (that is part of the absolute Path), but on a Mac, I am lost, being a PC-only guy. Others, who are on, and know Mac's, will be able to help you with the Volume name.
Good luck,
Hunt

I've lost my Mac OS when Windows loaded

I needed to load windows on a Mac using bootcamp so I could run a windows based graphic program. After going thru bootcamp and loading windows I seemed to have lost my Mac OS. When it comes to picking which system to use, there is only one. I backed up my Macbook Pro before doing this so I can start over. When I had to decide which partition to use Im guessing I picked the wrong one. Is there a way to know which to use when doing this again?
Thanks
Jeff
Also try to use simple explanations cause I am not a computer geek. Just know enough to get in trouble, which Ive done.
Thanks again

None that I have used. Poking around the web, I unearthed rEFIND, a SourceForge project. It may do what you want but, since I don't want to foul my boot process, I have not tried it.
By the way, if you have devices attached that are not bootable (I have a hardware peripheral plugged into my USB port for use in Windows; it's NOT a storage device), then booting with the option key may hang, giving you a blank screen "forever." Such devices need to be unplugged prior to booting. A disk not having boot blocks is NOT in that category; I have one of those. When I boot with the option key down, it just doesn't appear in the selection.

IPhoto gets lost when I try to edit

Hello all,
I am completely new to Mac's and iphoto and I'm having a terrible problem when I try to view pics in iPhoto. I've imported a couple hundred photos (busy christmas) and moved them into neatly organized albums. I've rotated them this way and that while viewing them at thumbnail size. My problem is, when I double click on a photo to edit, my machine seems to get lost. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get a little gray spinning thing. The machine has not crashed (I can still go back to another album / library) but I can't view my photos close up. I've done all the "software updates" and I have checked that the photos are actually on my HD (I can call them up in "Preview") Any thoughts?
--Idiot

Paul,
Those two folders are not supposed to be there, so drag them out into the Pictures folder for now.
Since you have only had your computer a month, I think it is best to just create a new library and import the images from the old back into it.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
After the new library is created and your images imported into I want you to check those two folders I had you drag to the Pictures folder and see if those images are in your library. If not then drag those two folders into an open iPhoto Library viewing window. You can also just use the File>add to library command and navigate to a folder at a time and choose it to import.
let me know how it goes.
Lori

I need help please. I cannot get into my mac after I downloaded Lion. i never used a PW before . can anyone help me please?

Hi Folks. I cannot get into my Mac book air after downloading Lion. I do not and have never needed to use a pass word. what can I do to get back in ?

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.

You can get your music, apps and ibooks back. Follow these instructions:

I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time. How can I get it down to one account?

I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time. When I sink my iPad, some apps won't sync because the app was purchased under a different account?
How can I get it down to one account and be able to sync all of my iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) on my iPad and iPhone?
This is driving me crazy! grrrr. :-)
I have .me; .mac and .icloud accounts.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Darn Apple....we use Apple products because they are elegant and easy to use, why can't apple simplify the ID issues??? :-)
Thanks for the reply.
