I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Where did you put the LR catalog?
Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
OS and version?
Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
Now try to start LR again.

    Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe. Horribly frustrating. This is my second computer for installing creative cloud. Does that make a difference?

  • How do I uninstall creative cloud on my old laptop and  reinstall creative cloud on my new laptop?

    How do I uninstall creative cloud on my old laptop and  reinstall creative cloud on my new laptop?

    There is no need to uninstall on the old machine, but you can sign out thru the CC Manager if you like and then uninstall like you would any other software (depends on your operating system).
    To install on the new machine repeat what you did originally with the old machine...
    Download/install the desktop application, sign in, install the subscription application(s).

    Hi la dama cooks,
    I believe you are getting the blank Creative cloud applications.
    Please refer to the threads below where the issue has been resolved:

  • Restoring Windows and reinstalling Creative Cloud

    Hello everyone,
    I need to restore Windows and format the main drive (preferebly in the other order) and right now I have all the Creative Cloud applications installed and activated. I also have Muse installed and activated on another machine.
    I will restore Windows because of some registry problem and I have no idea if the Microsoft Product Key will be the same: it prompts me that Windows is not original, even though it is, and won't let me change the key (which looks different from the one under my laptop anyway). I added this to give more context.
    I know I can install CC on two computers, so, the question is:
    I will de-activate all the applications installed right now, do the Windows restore magic, re-install Adobe Creative Cloud and re-activate everything. Is this the correct approach or will this count as a "third" computer for Muse and "second" for everything else?
    If this is not the right way, which is?
    Thank you all in advance.

    Thank you!
    Between back up, removing linux, formatting, reinstalling Windows and then Creative Cloud I think I will have time to finish War and Peace but, as soon as I am done, I will post back if I was successful or not for future generations...
    EDIT:
    Yay, I've done it, everything is back to normal! I have deactivated every product: the Big Applications like Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver... I was able to deactivate them with one move, but not Muse and Lightroom (I had to open them and then deactivate them). Then I uninstalled every Adobe application just to be sure. Then reset, crash, crash, Linux partition error, format, reinstall everything and activate again.

  • I downloaded firefox 3.6.13 and now when moving through sites it will unexpectedly not be able to load a page within a site. How do I fix this problem or revert to a previous version of firefox?

    The first few sessions Firefox seemed to be running great with improved speed. Yesterday, when I opened Firefox it could not open my homepage even though I checked for my internet connection ... my email service was working perfectly. I rebooted the computer and started Firefox and the homepage opened fine. I then visited an online newspaper site opened from my bookmarks. I was able to read one or two articles on different pages, but then when I selected another page in this site, Firefox was not able to access it (just keep trying to make a connection to the page). I restarted Firefox and went into an online banking site, again through a bookmark. Again after successfully accessing several different pages in the site Firefox was unable to connect to a requested page.
    Later in the day I restarted Firefox, entered the banking site and successfully completed my transaction. Visited several other sites and had no problems, then again Firefox could not load a page.
    This problem has continued today when looking at the online paper.
    I would like either a fix to this problem, or to return to the previous version of Firefox.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

  • My iphoto program was messed up so I dragged it to trash and down-loaded it again. now when I open it , it says I can't open my library with my old version, use my new version.  How do I get to my new version when it is the only one there?

    My iphoto program was all messed up so I properly uninstalled it, I have a good back up.  When I reinstall iphoto from my iwork disc it installed Ok, but when I clk on the icon it says that my library is unavailable, use the new iphoto.  What is the problem?  If I go to applications the same thing happens, I can't access Iphoto!

    You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
    Update ALL your software and try again.
    Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
    Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
    AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

  • When I open Firefox, I receive this error code: Error ID Code: 8a2affaa-cb4f-4b96-9649-ecc39a102bb6. How do I fix this problem?

    Firefox will not start, and I receive an error code. The characters change in each error message, but the heading is always: "An error occurred while processing your request". I would appreciate any help available to solve this problem.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.  I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists.  How can I fix it?  thank you.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

    Re Time Machine
    I have an external  hard drive with files I backed up manually over the past 2 years 1TB of memory.
    I am finally taking the leap to use Time machine to back everything.
    will I have to reformat that drive, thus wiping my previous back ups?
    can I split it the drive in two partitions?
    Also
    as I have two separate Macbook Pro's- one older than the other.
    OSX 10.68
    the other is
    OSX 10.75
    can I back them up separately?
    or even synch and merge files and folders etc? between the two?

    You CAN use a drive with files already on it to store Time Machine backups. But long term, that is not recommended. You do not need to reformat or re-partition the drive to do this. Once Time Machine Backups are established, you could remove the old files.
    But do not delete Time Machines files with the Finder -- that can cause it to lose its place and lose everything.
    With the cost of backup drives under US$100, it might be a better idea in the long run to get another drive. Best results from Time Machine is a drive about 3 times larger than the drive(s) you are backing up.
