I have downloaded lightroom 5 and opened the program. do i import the photos or the catalogue

I have downloaded light room 5 and opened the program. I want to import my photos, do i import the photos off the hard drive or import the catalogue?

MIke
I've been using Lightroom since the beginning and love it, but have had a past problem when upgrading to the next version. All my files are on external hard drives (two) and I only want the computer to access them for processing from that external source.
During my upgrade import the catalogue files on my hard drive as a choice are not available to import only the photo files are. Am I not correct to only want to import the catalogue and not the photo files?
Your help is most appreciated

I have downloaded several songs and all the songs are either broken up or stops half way through . What can i do to sort this ? I have tried ACC version and it tells me an error has occurred.

I downloaded several songs yesturday to later realise that when played , all of them either break up or the song cuts off. I have tried ACC download / create ACC as suggested but all each song is saying is an error occurred. What do i do ?

What format are these problem tracks in? If they are MP3's, trying running them through the MP3 Validator utility to have it fix any missing or corrupted track data.

Then remove the tracks from the iPod and resync the newly repaired ones over to it.

I have downloaded Firefox 7 and started the Wizard but am continualy told that I have an older version that needs to be removed and have to reboot? How can I get around this?

My OS is Windows 7. I want to change from IE to Firefox. After selecting the standard installation I am told that I must reboot to remove an older version of Firefox. This is as far as I have been able to get. I have downloaded 3 times now and rebooted 4. Any ideas?

Hi Swarnava,
I followed your two links to try to solve this problem but still ended up with a re-boot request to remove an earlier version which I don't have. I have not downloaded Firefox and set it up yet so I have nothing to remove! I have checked my programs via Control Panel too, nothing. Stuck!

I have a Mac running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and not the program will not open at all. I am also unable to download the previous version that was running fine. I'm using Safari to contact you.

I have a Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and now the program will not open at all. I get an error message that reads --
"You cannot open the application 'Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."
I am also unable to find a link to download the previous version (3.6) that was running fine. (I'm using Safari to contact you.)

Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns

The support for that camera was added in the very latest release of Lightroom, version 5.7.1. Having downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 will have no effect on Lightroom because Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. You need to make sure you have updated Lightroom to the very latest release in order to have support for that camera.

I missed the system requirments for lightroom 5, i have vista, do i get a refund or can i download lightroom 4 and ps 4?

You can download LR4 from Adobe but you will need a serial number for V4 as the serial number for V5 will not work.
If you are still on Vista you really should look at upgrading to Windows 8 64bit as you will experience similar problems with other software. Vista was released in Jan 2007 which is 7 years ago, a long time in computer terms and was never very popular. Its current share of the windows OS is around 3% and going down so not much incentive for developing specific software support.

I have a MacBook Pro and tried to download and open the torbundle package.

I have a MacBook Pro and tried to download and open the torbundle package. I get a message that reads "A copy of firefox is already running. Only one copy of firefox can be open at a time."
1. I do not seem to have firefox anywhere of my computer. Ive been using safari and as far as my computers library is concerned there is no firefox.
2. I have tried shutting down and restarting.
3. I tried making a new user account.
I believe the torbundle package is trying to open itself twice. Has anyone had this problem when trying to use tor on OS X?
This is getting very frustrating! Help please!

If you open Activity Monitor do you see a FireFox running? If so delete it.
Have you tried deleting and redownloading/installing?

Please correct this problem and press OK to exit the application.

I did install it in the admin account. Actually the computer has four accounts, one for my husband, where I installed it. One for me which also is set to admin, one is called TEST and has nothing in it and one is guest user.
I don't know how AutoCad is interfacing with the account. That is why I am not sure what to do about it. I read other threads in various places and some seemed to point to something having to do with having multiple users. The solutions were not clear. I was hoping someone else had this problem and could tell me what to do. I tried apple support but no help. I have not tried AutoCad yet as I assumed they wont help since this is a free educational version of their product.

Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. If you try installing an earlier iOS you get the error message. Apple only supports installing/restoring to iOS 6.0.1 on the 4G and 5G iPods.

When I download something, the download box never has anything in it after downloading, so I cant open the item up from the download box, I have to go and find it where I downloaded it

I have firefox on my work and home computers - at the work on, I have a list of documents listed in my downloads box which I can access directly - great - on my home computer it shows while downloading, however as soon as it has finished downloading the box goes empty, I then have to minimise everything and find the downloaded item.

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.
