How to switch from LR4 to LR5

I bought LR5 box to update my 4 version. I could not get it to download. So I went to the trial version. I downloaded but it did not update my 4 version to 5 and I can not find it on my desk top. Can someone PLEASE help me figure this out how to get the 5 version to take over my 4 and all my presets and photos transfered. Thanks. frustrated grandma!

lr 5 will not replace your lr 4. you can, if you want, you can use both at the same time on the same computer.
if you don't need both, you can uninstall lr4, but don't do that until everything is working in lr5 and you've mirgrated your lr 4 catalog and presets and whatever else.
check if lr 5 is installed. if you have windows click start>control panel>programs>uninistall a program and search for adobe lightroom 5. it will be just below lr 4 if it's installed.
if it's not installed, find your downloaded installation file(s) and install lr 5.

Upgraded from LR4 to LR5.7. Apparently successful download on iMac27" 5K running OS X10.2. Collections that were clear in LR4 appear badly blurred when opened in LR5.7. What's,wrong?

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.
John: I back up the catalogue (and optimize/check its integrity) every time I quit Lightroom - which is why excluding it from Time Machine isn't the end of the world. I did rename the catalogue early on in my troubleshooting process - as you say, I didn't like the fact I felt out of control of it.
I tried synchronizing a folder that had some flags: when I'd done there were three flags in the folder. (I have unclicked - and clicked and then unclicked - the 'unsaved metadata' checkbox in View Options: as I say, Lightroom shouldn't be displaying these flags at all.)
Rob: Thanks for understanding why I'm fretting! I've checked my XMP sidecars, as you suggest, and they have read and write privileges. I then checked the last-modified date on the XMPs that came up with flags after I'd synchronized that folder. One of them displayed the time I'd just synchronized the folder (it's one I haven't worked on apart from applying a blanket preset in LR2, and then a blanket update to PV2012 in LR4, as I've done to all the images I haven't yet worked on individually); the other two showed the time (I presume) I worked on them yesterday. I selected these three and applied command-S: they then showed, correctly, that they'd been modified a minute before. So far, that folder's now flag-free. (As I said in my original post, the flags sometimes do seem to vanish if I save enough times - and they're unpredictable, not necessarily appearing on the same images in a collection or folder as before I do I group save/clear conflict.)
Mollysnoot: I don't see how the Mac OS would be doing this (although who knows - I'm not a software expert). I don't have any other programs open that can modify images. And since these flags can reappear instantly when I've dealt with the conflict - before I've had time to take a breath, even - I don't think they represent any actual modifications.

Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud,

Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud, is that possible from LR5 to LR6? Thanks so much.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

Lightroom catalog corrupt and unrepairable after migrating from LR4 to LR5. Can I send the compresse

My Lightroom catalog is corrupt and unrepairable after I migrated it from LR4 to LR5. The only way I can use this catalog is by copy/pasting/renaming it. Only after I do that, is Lightroom able to open the catalog. When I close LR and allow the catalog to be backed up, the LR informs me that the catalog is corrupt and it fails to repair it.
Can I compress the catalog and send directly to Adobe for inspection?
Thanks,
Tim

Sounds like a problem for forums/support from the DB provider, as this problem is normally solved through some form of HA provided by the DB (or some cluster software, but still not Java) with, normally, a shared (virtual) IP address.

How to switch from text message to iMessage for 1 contact

I have one friend with an iPhone who all of the sudden in my messaging has switched from iMessage to text messages with working WiFi on and stable, on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2). This is not a cellular or wifi issues, I guarantee, I am iMessaging other people without problem. She is also iMessaging other people without problem.
I have tried all work arounds I've seen on the web including:
-turning iMessage on and off, turning the phone on and off
-deleting all conversation with her and then sending a new message
-labeling the contact as an "iPhone" on my iPad (doesn't seem to switch label to "iPhone" and "iPhone" is no longer available as a label on iPhone)
-sending an iMessage on my iPad to her and then trying to use same message stream on the iPhone
This is beyond ridiculous that there is no way to switch from text to iMessage, I know how to switch from iMessage to text when the "error" comes up that it can't be sent as in iMessage. Any ideas?

You didn't mention trying these two steps:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
... which are listed as steps 4 and 5 near the middle of this article:

Lens profiles in LR5 disappeared. How do I transfer them from LR4 into LR5?

Lens profiles in LR5 disappeared. They are still in LR4 and in PS CC. How do I transfer them into LR5?

One possibility: use OneStepDVD function of iDVD that comes with all recent Mac. This will capture from the camera and directly create a DVD with its contents, without any intermediate editing step.
Or you could use iMovie or FCE to capture and edit the movies, and then iDVD to author and burn DVDs.
In any case your camcorder must be connected to your Mac with a firewire connection. If it is too old and it does not have such connection, a possibility is to use an intermediate A/D converter from analog input (received from the camera analog out) to digital output on a firewire link.

Any tips for upgrading from LR4 to LR5

I am just about to attempt my upgrade from LR4 (student edition) to full-fledged LR5. Any hints or tips on how to redirect LR4 directories, etc. to LR5? Other tips for the install? (Obviously, I've backed up my computer prior to starting.)
Thanks!
Rick

Your "full-fledged" Lightroom 5 will be no different than the student version of Lightroom 5, because there is only one Lightroom program. You'll have new features in Lightroom 5, of course. But don't expect anything extraordinary because there is no difference. All you have to do is install Lightroom 5. Since it is an upgrade, it will look for that serial number from your Lightroom 4, and then you will have to enter the new serial number for Lightroom 5. When Lightroom starts it will find your previous catalog and will offer to upgrade it to the appropriate format. The original Lightroom 4 catalog will be left as it was, and completely usable by Lightroom 4. After the upgrade process completes you should be able to see all the images and all the work that you did in Lightroom 4, but you will be using the new program. It's a very straightforward process.
