Import dialog does not come up in Lightroom 5.2RC

I've used Lightroom 5.2 RC for a few weeks and successfully imported a few times. This morning, however, the dialog will not come up and the program hangs until I kill it in Task Manager. This is in Windows 8 64-bit.
I've tried removing the memory card, and all other USB-connected devices, but it still hangs. Is this a known problem? Are there any known workarounds?
I'm a developer and can supply crash dumps if necessary. Here is what looks like the relevant thread if it helps the Adobe devs:

LR5 Import dialog does not list any images

Lightroom 5 is not seeing that a folder of images I'm trying to import has any images in it. The folder is question has well over 5,000 jpegs (it's my iPhone image depository). While I was able to import images from this folder with no problem in LR4, LR5 is telling me that there are no images in the folder. I've double checked that all my import settings are normal and the same as LR4 and it doens't matter. No matter what I do, I cannot get LR5 to see that there are any images in this folder to import.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Antonio

"If the folder already exists in the Folder panel, select it and Choose Library > Synchronize Folder."
It doesn't exist in the Folder panel. It never has. It would mess up my workflow to have it as such. I only import from this folder.
Try (via finder) moving a few of the images in the folder to another folder that has been cataloged. Then synchronize that folder to see if the images show.
I did this and the images showed up fine, so there is nothing wrong with the image files.
Instead of invoking the Import Dialog first, drag an image from th Camera Roll folder onto the Library module or the Lr icon. That will bring up the import dialog. see if you get the same results.
Did this and it did not work.
Why this is strange is that I have no problem importing from the same folder in Lightroom 4. Something has changed here in LR5.

InDesign CS5 - Print Dialog does not load (windows).

I just installed InDesign CS5 and when I go to print a document, the print dialog does not come up. I only get an hourglass cursor. When I try to export to a PDF the resulting PDF is 0kb and obviously corrupt.
What do I do to fix this?

Don't have a clue about the print dialog, but you may be unaware that PDF export is now a background task and you may be trying to open the PDF before it's finished. To check the progress go to Window > Utilities > Background Tasks.
There are some reports of the background task stalling in certain cases. This is a bug, Adobe is aware of it, and a solution is in the works, but no definite inopfrmation on a release date for the fix is available. If you search the forum you'll find a couple of threads discussing it, including a link to a script to do the export inthe foreground if necessary.
For the print problem, you can try Replace Your Preferences, but I'm not hightly optimisitic that this is a prefs issue. It would help if you told us about the OS and your printer, and what language you installed. Have you updated to 7.0.2?

Multiple heading rows in a table template does not come across

Hello,
   I've created a table with two heading rows with different content (please see attached file).
   When I import this table format into a new Frame doc, the first heading row gets repeated twice.
   Any ideas about how to fix this?
   I have even tried to make one heading and the other a footer row (at the bottom) but even that formating does not come across in the template.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anupam.
Using : Framemaker 9 on Windows XP

Anupam,
The import into a new document has nothing to do with what you are seeing. If you look in the table designer, you will see that there is nothing there that specifies that the table must have two heading rows. When you insert a table and select the ids_register table format, the dialog box lets you specify the number of heading rows; it can even be one.
Note that if you insert a second table in your original document and specify you want two heading rows, you get the same result: two heading rows that are both like the first one.
Without know the real details, I am guessing that the table format is capable of remembering only one heading row format.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but maybe someone else has a workaround to this.
Good luck,
Van

PSE 9 does not come with Camera Raw 6.2?

Photosho Elements 9 does not come with camera raw 6.2
, I downloaded the trial version which came with an outdated 6.1... the only version of 6.2 is for PSE8 and does not work with PSE9 how is this possible? How can they release a product with an outdated ACR????Now we have to wait for an update to a new product???Come on people!!!

Cheap shot, Phil. Up to now, Mac users got no Organizer but a special bonus: full Bridge, full access to full featured ACR. With this version, both platforms get the same stuff -- it's less than full Photoshop/Bridge CS5, at a small fraction of the price.
I admit, as a Mac user who shoots RAW, I liked the old trade-off...but I can understand the desire to make the two products consistent. If that makes PSE "inferior" for you than you should stick with Bridge CS4/Raw 5.7, or move up to the full-featured siblings, or switch to Lightroom.

10.8 - image capture - "import to" does not allow to select a program

Hi,
after updating to 10.8 I was hoping that my problem with 10.7.4 and Image Capture would be solved but it persist and additionaly has removed all my setings.
When Image Capture shows the pictures of my iPhone I select some pictures and go to "Import To Other".
That will open the "Open" dialog with all Programs/Applications on my Mac, but all Programs/Applications are grayed out.
Until 10.7.3 one was able to select any program to send the pictures to it like Evernote, ExifRenamer, etc.
Anyone else has the same issue?
Regards, Carsten

My songs I add from my external harddrive do not play in itunes. They appear when I search them in the search bar in Itunes but if I click on the album it does not come up instead an album from icloud plays.HELP!

It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

System does not come up after homogeneous system copy

Hi there,
after a regular system copy of our Java-only Portal the system does not come up.

I'm confused (i did the system copy 2 times, because I did not believe what I saw ....)

Hi Sunny,
thanx for your answer.
There are NO logs, either dev_server* nor dispatcher.
the only thing I found were under the work-directory, the dev_jcmon says :

After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

New tab does not come up blank but shows firefox unable to bring up web site in box

Pressing + on Tab bar does not come up blank, but comes up as Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.
then various letters and symbols oki.com
How do I get rid of this to enable a blank page or nine illustrated tabs to come up, as on my other laptop?

You won't see the SearchReset extension in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" because the code only run once and the extension automatically uninstalls itself, so this is expected behavior.
You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

You can try to create a new profile or reset Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious to avoid carrying over the problem.

My import window does not allow me to pick the "move" option. How do I access it?

My import window does not allow me to pick the "move" option. How do I access it?

Because Adobe has taken the stance, within Lightroom, that it will not touch files on card. Your card serves as a fail-safe backup in the event of disaster.
Ejecting a card has no effect on your images and is allowed so that you can removed the card without intervention of the OS.
After you've ensured image fidelity and backup, accepted best practice is to reformat your card in-camera. Trust me, I don't want to be on this forum answering questions about why someone lost their files because they "moved" them. This has been debated many times on the forum.

My Iphone 4 does not come with a SOFTWARE UPDATE option.

My partner bought my iphone 4 version 4.2 about two years ago from a well known store. He got himself one at the same time but i cannot update mine because it does not come with an option in settings, general that allows me to update it. All of my apps are useless as they need at least iSO5 to run. I cannot check my bank accounts or anything. I have rung and spoke to apple many of times and followed all the steps to try and update. As this is not my fault and the iphone had not been loaded with the correct software there should be something APPLE could do free of charge!!!! I really need help as i cannot afford a replacement or want one. I just dont know what to do anymore!!
