How can I fix "catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error"?
I have many catalogs and this is only happening with one of them.
I've done a Google search on the error message and tried some things that I found from those search results in forums.adobe.com and www.lightroomforums.net.
I've tried deleting preferences file. That did not help.
I was running version 4.2 when this happened. Based on what I found by searching, I thought reinstall might fix the problem so I installed 4.3. That did not fix the problem.
I've tried opening backups but they have the same problem.
I'm running Windows 7, 32-bit. I have 4 GB memory with plenty of free memory available when I try to open this catalog. Hard drives have plenty of free space.
I have tried rebooting my computer. That did not help.
I've been using Lightroom since version 2 and have never had this problem.
lrcat.lock file does not exist for this or any other catalog.
lrcat file is 317,704 KB.
I did recently install Photoshop Elements 11. Up until that time I was using Photoshop Elements 6.
Any suggestions?
I figured out that the error was caused by file permission problems.
I made sure that my user has Full Access to all files related to this catalog and it looks like the catalog is useable again. I don't know how the permissions could have gotten messed up.
This catalog worked as recently as 2 days ago.
It would be nice if error message gave a hint as to what the problem might be.

Surely you could provide some more information. Your system, what version of LR, is this your first attempt at using the program, or what has been prior experience? Things are a bit foggy.

I already tried to open other ones. Worked

Thank you for this suggestion:
It sais that catalog can be probably repaired in the future but I need to close all other programs and check my harddrive, which I did. But it still keeps giving me the same message. -

The catalog could not be opened. An internal programming error occured.
I have gotten the following error when I started Elements today...
Failed To Open Catalog
! The catalog could not be opened. An internal programming error occured.
I have tried to move the catalog to a different directory to no effect.
This computer is rarely online, it is only used to catalog my pictures, and I have 100s of hours of work in this catalog.
Is this recoverable? How did this happen?
Background:
Size of the catalog directory: 61MB
Core Version 9.0.3
Operating Systems: 6.1 SP1
Thanks for your support.Create a new, empty catalog: Hold down your Shift key when launching the Organizer and you'll get the Catalog Manager window. Create a new catalog, naming it something completely different than your existing catalog.
Once you're in the Organizer, use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager window. Highlight your old catalog and hit the "Repair" button. When that finishes, repeat, using "Optimize". Then try to open your old catalog.

Device Enrollment could not be installed due to an unexpected error
Hi I just installed OSX LION Server and want to enroll devices but I keep on getting the error : Device Enrollment could not be installed due to an unexpected error :
The profile “Device Enrollment (com.apple.ota."my-server-name-".private.bootstrap)” could not be installed due to an unexpected error.
My devices site is running properly, I can install Profiles but I cannot install any device, not even the mini I installed OSX Lion Server upon!
I already removed all certificates and keys for : ""my-server-name-".private" and recreated self signed certificates for SSL and code signing.
Any ideas?
BertSo I just wasted half of a day on this, and at least for my own system I figured it out *without* doing a clean install.
1. First, check that you have opened the ports as suggested by others here.
2. If you've done that, then the problem may be a rogue entry in your DNS server setting. What that means is if you initially set up your server app with one name, then later switched it to a new one, the old name is still "hanging around" causing havoc. This was the problem. To fix, you can try the steps below. WARNING: this will wipe your open directory. Make a full backup! I'm not 100% sure that wiping your OD is necessary, but it worked for me. Turn off any services you're running.
3. Download the 10.7 server admin tools here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1419
4. Open up the WorkGroup manager, and select any network users you've created, then export them. You're backing them up because you're going to wipe your open directory.
5. Open Server Admin.app. Click on the reveal triangle for your server, and it will show an entry for "Open Directory". Click on that.
6. Click on the Settings gear in the top of the right panel.
7. Where it says Role: Open Directory Master, hit Change....
8. In the panel that pops up, hit "set up a standalone directory". It will warn you that it's going to wipe your server open directory data.
9. Now, on the left side of the same screen, select DNS, then hit the "zones" button on top.
10. Look for your old host name(s) there. Select any extra entries that have your old host names, and remove. DO NOT REMOVE your current name entry (the Primary Zone) or the reverse entry (Reverse Zone). If you remove those, you'll be totally hosed. Only remove redundant entries.
11. Back in the Server.app, go to the menu and select Manage -> Manage Network Accounts. It will ask you for some information as it sets up open directory again for you. Give it what it needs.
12. To re-import your saved account info, go to Manage -> Import Accounts From File. (I have not tried this step, but it *should* work. YMMV).
13. Now, go reactivate your profile manager, turn on device management. It should "think" for a bit while it churns through the new open directory data.
14. Now, it should work!!! (at least it does for me). I speculate that the name lookup was getting conflicting results from DNS, causing problems and confusion. This seems to have fixed it.
15. If that doesn't work, one other step I took (but it didn't seem to help by itself) was to wipe the device manager database. To do that, open a terminal and use
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
WARNING: this will wipe any device info that you've set up. I don't think this is necessary, but might be used as a last ditch effort.
Hope that helps! -
How can I solve the "could not sign in iTunes Store: An unknown error has occurred." problem
after finishing watching a movie (paid movie), I tried renting another one but the "Could not sign in " error stopped me from doing that. I have restarted the Apple TV many times, turned it off, restarted my cable modem, and much more. However, I am still getting this error. I would appreciate if anyone could give me a possible solution to this problem.

On Pages 09, my word documents I've been saving it to iCloud, to access anywhere, but I would like to keep my docs organized in files on my finder as usual, and saving to iCloud, I lose my local one.How can I fix it and not desorganize my files?
It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud. If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder. But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.

According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
regardless.
So then how do I configure it to do that???
(And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
For those who want more details, here's the situation:
I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
been able to find anything.Hi Tommy,
>>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
-Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.

Your solution worked when applied to a administrative user account but did work with a student account.
I'm not sure why that is happening.
If you're on Vista or Windows 7, you could try setting the program to run permanently as Administrator, as described here:

If that doesn't help, my only suggestion would be to work through these tedious troubleshooting steps:

Photoshop could not be initialised due to a program error
Today i became member of the creative cloud with Photoshop and Lightroom.
After installation Lightroom works allright, but after starting up Photoshop i get the message that Photoshop could not be initialised due to an program error.
I run the CC cleaner tool, but unfortunately without effect.
System: apple imac 3,2 Ghz intel core i3 4Gb 1333 Mhz DDR3
OS X version: 10.9.5
I hope anyone has found a solution?
KInd regards,
M. VerbiestHI Jeff, Thanks for your suggestion. In the mean time i've had several contacts with Adobe Support. Finally we came to the conclusion the error was caused during the conversion of the colourtables.
Then on my computer (imac OS X) we searched for the color settings. These are in the system library / Application Support / Adobe / Color.
We renamed the colorsettings by adding .old at the end of the filename and restarted Photoshop. Photoshop started very well and the problem was solved!
Many thanks to the fantastic support from the Helpdesk! -

The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I open a new window (App etc) the windows already open disappear. How can I fix this ?
Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.
