Help with Resetting Preferences in Lightroom

I have a new iMac OS-X 10.8 .. I am having trouble with the Adjustment Brush [basically the sliders are not functioning correctly].     I have previously fixed the problem by resetting the Preferences, that is "deleting" the com.adobelightroom.plist file, then restarting Lightroom.       However I've gone to Library, Preferences on the new iMac and I can't see any .plist file for Adobe Lightroom 3 or Adobe Photoshop CS.5.
I also have Lightroom 4 loaded on the same computer but can't even see any com.Adobe ... .plist files for that either???
Am I looking in the wrong place ..
HELP!!       I might add that this Adjustment Brush problem seems to reoccur regularly????
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You may need to unhide some folders so that you can see Library under your User Name. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4176215?start=0&tstart=0 then you should be able to navigate to it.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
I will really appreciate some help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

Help with placing photos in Lightroom 4.2

I am making my first book in the Book module and I'm not finding it as flexible as I expected. I'm slowly figuring out some answers to the questions that have arisen, but I'd like some help with the following.
1. Can I add a small photo to the last page above the logo?
2. Can I put a border around a photo on the front, like a frame? Or do I have to prepare a jpg in Photoshop Elements with the frame and my photo?
3. Can I move or resize those yellow-bordered placement boxes, or make a custom layout if none of the layouts are exactly what I want?
Answeres to these questions will take a lot of frustration out of the process. :-)
Thanks,
Nancy

Help with error message opening lightroom 5 on macbook?

I downloaded lightroom 5 on my macbook. i have os-lion. When I open the program and error message appears saying " error switching modules". I am missing all the options to import photos. When I try to click on lightroom preferences at the top of the screen nothing pops up. It seems like i am missing some of the options and the navigation pane. Do i need to update something else to be able to import photos and click between module pages?

55AB,
It appears the error message you have is an ink system failure error message. While it looks like your printer needs to be services there is also a thread with some suggestions out there with some results for this same issue. I have linked this thread this post. You will want to look at message 16 and 17 for what seems to be a resolution for your same printer. Hope this helps.

Changed BIOS settings, Monitor won't turn on (Help with resetting CMOS)

Hello,
I have an HP Envoy 700 PC Series. Running Windows 8.
Everything was working fine, until I changed/disabled some settings in the BIOS, an dnow the PC turns on without any display.
I need to reset my Bios settings.
I tried removing the CMOS battery for an hour, still the monitor doesn't turn on.
I tried playing with the jumpers (assuming I'm doing it right).. Any pointers?!
Pc turns on normally without a display. This all happened when I changed my BIOS settings.
Any help would be great.
Thank you

The fact that you removed the CMOS battery usually resets the BIOS so this may not be the problem, however, the computer must be left on for up to 24 hours to permit the battery to charge itself.
You may opt to try another monitor.

Help with large import to Lightroom

I have about 15000 images in 100's of folders to import into Lightroom; tech assistance tells me I must import each folder one at a time; please tell me there is a faster way for such a large import. Thanks in advance, Mirlie

I beg your pardon. You are absolutely right (as, I am sure you had no doubt). I was clicking choose instead of import all photos in selected folders; as a matter of fact until I just read you response I had not ever seen the option of "import all photos in selected folders". Again so sorry to have indicated your solution was wrong. It amazes me that I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe LR tech support and they continued to read from their scripts that I needed to import each folder individually. You have saved me many hours and stiff shoulder muscles. I now know where to come for help. Have a great evening. Thanks so much.

Help with resetting of N95 8 Gb

I think babdi inadvertantly missed out a crucial piece of info for the hard reset. This is how you do it:
Switch the phone off and do the following.
1) Press and hold the green "call", "3" and "*" buttons.
2) With those buttons pressed down, switch the phone on.
3) Keep pressing those 3 buttons and only release them once the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia "hands" logo or the language selection screen.

Help with resetting DSLAM/boosting noise margin?

I hope that by posting here I may actually get some help on my issue.
Had my BT Infinity 2 installed last week after a missed appointment (contractor), and got some helpful Openreach guys in, first last Monday to install the phone line - all went well, one pair was missing somewhere but a second OR engineer managed to solve this, told me I had a clean line.
On Thursday the fibre guys turned up, bit of hassle getting the HH5 to sync over the Data Extension Cable but got there in the end - seems the phone guy had done all the work and the line was working fine, no CRC errors, not far from the cabinet, a clean line.
However, the online fibre checker originally told me (and still does) that my estimated speed is 60-79 downstream and 19-20 upstream.
I am syncing at around 58Mb/s down but only just below 12Mb/s up - the HH5 has trained at this and it had been in and out the socket a few times on the Monday and again on the Thursday (same speed whether plugged in at the master socket or at the end of the DEC, I know this cable makes no difference anyway) - the fibre guys told me I have to get in touch with my provider (BT) to perhaps have the DSLAM reset as the auto sensing equipment at the exchange might have reduced my speed having been switched on and off so many times.
I know that the checker is just an estimate but it didn't say between 10 and 20 Mb/s, it is quite clear about the estimate of 19-20Mb/s - this was a major factor in me leaving the local cable company as I was already getting 10Mb/s upstream with them anyway. In this respect I am thinking that the (just under) 12Mb/s seems quite low.
So after phoning the customer service line a couple of times and despite being told to disconnect the router from the "white box" - I assume they mean the old Openreach modem - and getting nowhere as I insisited I don't have that and only have the new HH5, I composed a precise email detailing all of the above, and what do I receive back? This pearl of wisdom from someone in "Digital Care"...
"Dear Sir,
This is in regards to your e-mail which you have sent regarding the issue you are facing with your e-mail. I tried to call you to help you regarding your issue but could not speak with you."
Oh dear, did they actually read and understand my query - I also mentioned in my email that I could be contacted on my mobile number (given in the email, and on record as my installation was being handled by a specialist team after the missed appointments) as I do not have a telephone attached to my landline at the moment, or by email.
Now I run my own small computer repair business and am a professionally trained I.T. Consultant so I am 100% certain there is no problem on my end, how on earth do I go about getting this looked at because I feel like I am going round in circles? I don't think I can face another screen reader in India telling me to unplug my "white box"....
The noise margin seems quite low, can this be boosted - I must be between 150m and 250m from the cabinet according to the fibre guys.
Here's the relevant data from this morning:
3. Firmware version:       Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A) Last updated Unknown
4. Board version:              BT Hub 5A

Help With Resetting the SMC

I have (over time) had several unusual things happen to my 1 year-old MBP. In reading the Apple article for resetting the SMC after trying the other steps suggested with no change in the problems, I am wanting to reset the SMC. However, the options are confusing to me. The 2 options about the battery, I can say it does not have the battery that used to be in my older MBP that just pops out. The second option for resetting the SMC says "resetting…with a battery you should NOT remove…" Since this option seems to be the closest one to my machne, I want to make sure because in the owners manual it goes over how to remove the battery and does not say you should not remove the battery on your own. However, is this the link I would follow for resetting the SMC? My machine does not fit the 3rd link. I want to make sure I do the right thing.
Just in case you need to know, my battery icon does not display properly when the MBP is plugged into the MagSafe and when I initially plug it into the adapter, it says, "not charging." It also will be hooked up to the MagSafe with the amber light on but the % charged will not change for a long time unless I unplug it, restart the machine and plug it back up. Not sure if this is related but the past week I have had Safari Quit unexpectedly about 5 times per day. I get the report form and send that in, but I have never had this issue before. I have been watching a lot of online TV programs from NBC online and CBS online, but I am not sure if this is related and will be helped by the reset.
I did a check on my machine's serial number (at http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com), and I just noticed that there was supposed to be a hard drive firmware update and an EFI Firmware update, but I do not know enough about computers to go through with these.
Thanks for any help regarding what link to follow for resetting the SMC and what to do if that does not help at least the charging and saying, "not charging" when the MagSafe is hooked up to the MBP. I should add that the outlet is working fine.

(I should say that this is definitely a built-in battery. I think I made that clear from the first post. What I was not sure of is if it was what the SMC Link said; "…you should not remove it on your own, but it looks like all the built-in batteries should not be removed "on your own.")
The Apple Store gave me this MBP because they could not fix my one before this current model. I checked out the serial number and it shows on appleserialnumber.com when I put in the serial number that it is a (I think it said 2.06 processor) or something close to this. Since this was basically a freebie and the Apple Store manager said they would upgrade the MBP to what I had at the time I upgraded the earlier model that basically died. So, what that means, the earlier MPB they "replaced" I had upgraded the speed of the HD, so they did that on this new machine, I upgraded to the highest processor at the time, so they upgraded this new one to 3.06, but that website says I have a 2.06 or 2.08 GHz or something close to this. OK, I tried to explain what Apple did to the machine I have. Just in case it matters, I have found a few things that lead me to believe that this was a return under some unusual circumstance, but I can't prove it.
With that all said, I remember I went online and in the manual I got (both places) for this MBP it explains how to remove the battery: carefully put the screws near the notebook where they go back, and on and on. It never says that the owner should not remove the battery.
I should say, after I explained I did not have the MBP that I can easily remove the battery like the previous MBP I had, but the guy who initially explained how to reset the SMC switch ignored that I guess and gave me the instructions for the MBP I for sure do not have. The 3rd option I knew I did not have, so that only left one option but I thought it was odd because it explains how to remove the battery with dotted lines where to put the screws so you put them back in the proper place.
I did not understand why appleserialnumber.com gave me this info. (and I think Apple did too when I put in my serial number when I first received the machine, which did not make sense). Both places said but in slightly different words: Model: - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (CTO) and Build Year: - Your Mac was built in 2010. Does this make sense to you?
In the Sys. Profiler: Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Maybe it was just a general picture for removing the bottom case. I looked for the owners manual and I looked in the box that my MBP before the current one came in. No owner's manual but I found 2 things still in their wrapper. A remote and some kind of adaptor. Kind of cool. I wonder if the remote works for on my current MBP? what is the pin adaptor for? it is really short, like 6".

I got the version of Lightroom that you download, and I need to provide academic proof. When I go to the "My Orders" page, I click on the "Submit Proof" thing like I am supposed to, but then nothing happens. It doesn't bring me to a new page or anything. It just sits there and when I scroll over "Submit Proof" the box that popped up before is sitting there with a loading circle inside of it. No matter how long I leave it there it doesn't do anything. Please help me!

If a different web browser still is not resolving the issue then I would recommend you contact our support team to submit your proof of eligibility directly.

Help with scroll function in Lightroom

I have two laptop on which I installed lightroom this afternoon.
Thinkpad T420, Windows 7 pro 64bit, all drivers up-to-date
Thinkpad X201, Windows 7 pro 64bit, all drivers up-to-date
The mouse scroll function is not working in Lightroom. It is functioning in all other software on the machines, including Nikon ViewNX. I have tried to solve the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the Ultranav drivers from synaptic. No luck. I have also tried using just the trackpad, or just the trackpoint. I have tried changing the mouse focus to be whatever is below the pointer. No different. Please advise me on what I can do to solve this as without the scroll working, LR only slows down my workflow.
Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem. My scroll wheel always controlled the sliders in the develop area. It mysteriously stopped doing so about 3-5 months ago. Not sure if some Windows update or what might have changed it. There are no settings in the mouse software other than how many lines the wheel scrolls at a time. I couldn't find anything in LR preferences, either. I've just been getting along w/o it but I miss the feature. I'm using the same Microsoft wireless mouse I've had for a couple of years so no idea what might have impacted this.
UPDATE: I'm embarrassed to say that I just got around to simply trying a different mouse. Hooked up a Logitech mouse and the scrolling functions all work just fine. I suspect my Microsoft mouse rec'd a driver update in the past 3-6 months and somehow disabled the scroll wheel function as it pertains to the sliders. The wheel is working in all other regards so I kept thinking it must be a setting in Lightroom that I had screwed up. I'm going to rollback the driver just out of curiousity but at least I have functionality back via the very simple fix of plugging in a different mouse.
