Help w/Lightroom 5 and finder

I just installed LR 5 (I used LR 4 for a couple months last year) and I don't know if my photos and catalogs are where they are supposed to be. My new LR 5 backups are going in to the old "Mike's LR4 Catalog and Previews" folder. Is that ok? Should I try to rename the folder "Mike's LR5 Catalog and Previews" in the Finder--and then point to that folder when importing. Also, can I delete the LR4 application now? Thanks for any help. Mike
I have an iMac desktop.

I don't know if my photos and catalogs are where they are supposed to be.
They can be located anywhere thats convenient.

Yes

Help re restore ipad and 'find my ipad'.

I can't do anhthing with the ipad as it won't open beyond saying connecting to itunes and then error message as above on PC
HELP!!

Hi,
A remote wipe resets to factory settings.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/find-my-ipad.html
Setting a Passcode lock would have prevented anyone from using your iPad.
If you had a message setup on the iPad to return the iPad and you wiped it, that message is gone.
It states clearly here: "I understand that I cannot undo or stop this action".
It's hard to think straight when something like that happens and it's understandable, and hopefully you'll get your iPad back. I would definitely file a police report. Hopefully you had the serial number wirtten down and saved in a safe place for identification purposes.

Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

I'm sure there will be support for the camera eventually. But Adobe never announces that information in advance. It's possible that it could be added to the 8.7 final release and to the next update of Lightroom. But that depends on the timeline and if the engineers were able to get the camera in time to create profiles. You'll just have to wait and see.

I purchased lightroom 4 and want to download it ...i can't find it to download...help.

Lightroom 4 -
    There are a couple of options for downloading Lightroom 4:
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5566
    PC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5567
    The page linked below should also have links for Lightroom 4:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-4-is-out.html#ddl
    Be sure to follow instructions regarding signing in or else the downloads will not process properly. If you visit one of the other download pages in that site they have a section called "Note: Very Important Instructions" that gives specific steps for signing in.

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I downloaded Adobe lightroom 4 and I cannot find the serial number. Does anybody know where I can find this serial number?

Perhaps you should ACTUALLY READ THE LINK VARJAK POSTED!!!
gregbartgis wrote:
I also downloaded LR4. It was a paid app - $79.99. I wasn't assigned a serial number
Correct.
Mac app store software does not contain serial numbers since they are linked to your AppleID.
which means I can't upgrade to LR5 through Adobe.
Yes, you can.
Purchase the upgrade.
When when you run the LR5 installer it will see you have the Mac app store version and it will get a serial number from Adobe to use for LR5.
Very helpful - if there were a serial number!!!!
There will be a serial number WHEN YOU RUN THE INSTALLER!
It will get one from Adobe.
You're welcome!

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work. Can you help?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

i hope someone gets this who can help me. i don't find anything helpful in the help section of icloud. i'm using my 4th generation itouch for about 3 weeks with the ical. but today when i tried to edit an event or add an event a window would pop up and say "event can't be saved" or "no calendar chosen" or something like "this event doesn't belong with this calendar" and stuff like that.
can you please help me fix this?

You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

Hi can anybody help please. I am having terrible problems trying to use my Nikon D7100 to tether. I have downloaded the latest Lightroom updates and also checked my firmware which is also the latest avaiable and still Lightroom wont detect my camera!

I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
Thank you @dj_paige

I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
How are you running into this ?
From the CVI help...
This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
void *lpvReserved)
if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
return 0; /* out of memory */
/* your other ATTACH code */
else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
/* your other DETACH code */
CloseCVIRTE ();
return 1;
NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
utility.h.
NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
created using the one-parameter version of the function
will continue to work properly.
/*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);

Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.
