I am using OS X 10.6.8 and Lightroom 4. Lightroom suddenly stopped opening.

It gives me an error message that the program unexpectedly closed when it never opened to begin with. I'm not sure where to even start. Any recommendations?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

I am interpreting that to say that the detail panel is missing your develop module. If that is the case, right-click on one of the other panel headings and make sure there is a checkmark for detail.

Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

Hi
I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
Any good ?

While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
Here are some references:

http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

Why does using Google in the search bar (and only Google) not let me open search results in the same tab?

Hello,
When I use Google in the search bar, I have to open the search results in a new tab. If I simply click on them to open in the current tab, I'm inevitably redirected right back to the main Google site. This has only started happening in the past month or two -- I'm considering switching to Chrome after 5 years with Firefox because of this. Please help! It's incredibly frustrating to consistently have to remind myself to open all search results in a new tab. It's quite a waste of time over the course of a day.
Here are the basic steps:
1) I do a search using Google in the search bar.
2) As is supposed to happen, the search returns results in the current tab.
3) When I click on a result link, I'm immediately sent back to www.google.com.
4) If I hit back to try to return to the search results, I'm taken to the page that was loaded BEFORE I even did the search.
5) If, and only if, I instead right-click or Mouse3 click on the search results and open them in a new tab, I can successfully go to the search result pages.
--Thank you

Hi when i have been using iWeb for the whole week and all of a sudden i wanted to open iWeb but nothing came up? the tab at the top says that iWeb is open but i have no image i can't edit or do anything to my web site i just see my background. please help

Hi
Iweb Wont open on my desktop. in the tab it shows that it is open but i cant see the iweb page?
thanks

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
If Roddy's suggestions fail to help continue with this:
1 - open iPhoto and select a couple of photos.
2 - use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.
Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.

I have used my usb in a shop and when i have gone to open my usb on my mac the files are shortcuts

- i have no clue on what to do please help
i went to a shop and my files on my usb are now shortcuts and my macbook air wont open them

First, you need to leave it in the rice for about a week. It takes a long time for it to absorb the moisture. One day is not going to be enough.
Unfortunately, water/liquid damage is difficult to repair, and you may never get the iPhone to operate properly. Unless you have a damage protection plan in place (like AppleCare Plus, Carrier insurance, or your credit card company), then you are out of luck for that device.
However, you can possibly get out-of-warranty service/replacement from Apple for $149.

I've been using Firefox for about 8 months and all of a sudden, last night, I can't bring up Gmail. I get a message "Bad Request error 400". I'm not having this problem on my other laptop.

This problem only exists on 1 laptop, not the other. Nothing has changed. I have run my Norton Security and checked for any viruses. Nothing showed up.

I have first gen I pad and using king app like candy crush and all of a sudden they are crashing when I try open or play them any ideas what I can o, they seem can help me,

I have I pad first gen and have laded King App Candy Crush and all of sudden they keep crashing when I try playing them, any suggestions. king Forum was no help.

One of the basic troubleshooting steps for apps that continue to crash is to delete them and reinstall them. but you don't want to do that because you will lose all of your progress and have to start all over again. On the other hand, if the apps are unplayable anyway, what good is the progress that you have achieve if the apps won't work?
I would start with real basic things. Close all other apps on your iPad, reset the device and then see if that makes any difference. Since you are running iOS 5, you close apps by double tapping the home button to get to the multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app icon until all of the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon. Close all of the apps in the multitasking try this way. Swipe to the left to get to each and every app and close them all. After they have all been close, tap the home button twice.
Now reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the Apple logo and let the iPad start up. Try Candy Crush or one of the other games and see how they work for you now.

HT1766 hi i am very dissapointed with my i phone i went on a six day holiday and of course i took several photos and videos... i was then using facebook on my i phone and all of a sudden the phone reset by its own and i lost all of the information..

i need help thanks

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

The ability to Scroll when using Firefox has suddenly stopped but works ok in IE, microsoft apps etc. Help please?

The mouse driver is Synaptics but this works with all other apps and Internet Explorer, but suddenly stopped when using Firefox and all tabs. Not sure why so can you help?

If it is a laptop, I've heard of vertical and horizontal scrolling being switched on the touch-pad in Firefox. Bring up "Mouse" in the Control panel and see if you can fix there, best if just going there fixes, but that's really pushing luck. If you activate horizontal and deactivate vertical wonder what happens in other applications.
My driver only allows vertical scrolling control along the right edge and does not provide horizontal scrolling at the bottom edge I turn the mousepad off though and use a mouse.

HT4101 The camera connector suddenly stopped importing photos like it used to. Now it will import 1 or 2 photos and then **** off and revert to the desk top. The Sd reader works, but I miss the quicker option of the cord and connected.

I have two Canon Elph cameras. They both were easy to use with my IPad until two months ago when it suddenly stopped working on either camera/cord. It would check the new photos displayed on the screen and then shut down, import one or two, and go back to the desktop. Frustrating. The SD reader works, though. Is the camera connected faulty?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
