Issues with lightroom 5.3 update in windows 7 HP SP1

After downloading and installing the 5.3 update I could open lightroom and it seemed to work fine. But when I tried to open a cr2 file in explorer no known program was found. I instructed to use lightroom now found in the folder lightroom 5.3, but instead of opening lightroom the system tried to use adobe reader, which of course didn't work. Yet, now adobe reader was connected with the cr2 extension. I tried to restore by using 'open with' or by using the specific windows settings page, but it stayed hooked to the reader instead. Lastly, I ran a system restore and tride to reinstall the update, but that one got stuck when trying to unpack. I cancelled the installation and now it is a mess. What should I do?

Thanks Keith for this bit of education to LR beginner.
Removed all files, but reinstallation got stuck again with error 1714 'cannot remove old version'. Needed to fix it with microsoft fixit tool http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall.
After that everythng was running at last.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone else having issues with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly?

I'm having an issue with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly. It happens with 4.3 and 4.4 (I was hoping the upgrade to 4.4 would fix the problem but no...) I'm running Windows 8, 16 GbRAM an AMD FX-8120 processor (not sure if that helps or not) an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 Graphics card. Not sure if any other info would help. I've tried deleting/moving the preferences file, creating a new catalogue and all the usual fixes I could think of but to no avail. There doesn't seem to be any particular trigger. I could be in the develop module or the Library Module. It just either gives me the blue screen (sometimes with the error "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which is a somewhat disturbing but unhelpful error) and reboots itself or the screen just goes blank and I have to manually reboot it. I am totally hamstrung without Lightroom and I have clients waiting for their photos. I am at a total loss.. Can someone please help?!?!?!

Sadly my research since having the problem agrees that the AMD FX are not good for what I am doing which thoroughly annoys me as it was recommended by so called professionals when the build was done in Nov last year. These so called professionals also failed to see the need for cooling fans in the box which I believe is definitely contributing to the problem especially when the temp in NZ gets up to 30 deg C I am definitely looking at getting some fans in there ASAP as well. Thanks for the confirmations of the inadequacy of the proc and the heat issues.

Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows

Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows (at work):
Lenovo T60 with intel core duo T7200 @2.00Ghz plus additional monitor (Lenovo ThinkVision) in extended desktop mode running Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2
1. Taskbar is configured to autohide: when Safari is the top (active) window, it remains on top. If the taskbar pops up, it does so behind the Safari window, because I cannot see it.
2. If an open Safari window is dragged to the external (secondary) monitor, then maximized, it disappears to the side. It is not closed. I can still find it via Alt-tab or in the task bar and can, by right-clicking ‘Move’ from the taskbar use the arrow keys to move the window back into place. Clicking to reduce the window, then re-maximizing leads to the window disappearing to the side again.
3. In general my impression is that this does not function at a ‘beta’ level, but more of an ‘alpha’ level. Still very buggy.

This is a beta...thats why they give you the option to report probs via the bug icon. Since you are having these probs try and report them, I am not sure if apple has the time to scan these forums to try and find the big probs that people are having. So unless you report bugs, (and wait until the final realease) then they might never get noticed and or fixed.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

Any issues with latest 2014 ios update & Straight Talk

Hi, I've been with straight talk for about 2 weeks without any problem - switching --porting--pics.....all went well . Now my phone ( iPhone 3c) shows iOS update waiting..
Due to all I have read here & there,I'm a bit uneasy to do the update. Has anyone had any issues with lates t2014 ios update using ST? Will it affect the working of the phone if I don't do update? Thanks for any input.

Hi, Glad that worked for you. I don't know why this is happening other than to offer an opinion. This hardware acceleration was causing an issue with the previous version of FP also. I think that this technology is ready but the websites are not, youtube included.
The same thing happened with Flash Player for the mobile phones, Android in particular. Adobe was ready but had to wait on Google to catch up. So the users thot Adobe was at fault, but that wasn't the case. Google had to update and that was done with their 2.2 update. This is not an opinion however. I followed this because users were coming here asking why Flash Player wasn't available for their Android:-)
Adobe/Microsoft/Mac/Linux are all involved and if one advances a particular technology that effects the others, then each one must make a change for that technology to work. At least that's how I see it.
Thanks for marking your thread as answered

Issue with Lightroom CC 2015's before and after (\) - Windows 7

Okay, I downloaded Lr CC 2015 and everything is working great except for one thing - before and after. I edit an image then move to another (settings synced but needs a few refinements). I finish the edit and hit \ to take a look at where it started. When I do so, Lr decides to go back to the previous image, thinks about it, then shows me the before of the correct image. After the first time pressing \ it doesn't happen again, unless you move to another image. A little irritating, but something I can put up with. Is anyone having the same issue? Everything is up to date; graphics, OS, etc. Also worth noting, this does not happen with Lr 5.7.
Any ideas, or should I post a bug report over on feedback.photoshop.com?
Thank you,
Benjamin

Problems with Lightroom 3.6 update

After installling LR 3.6 update, LR will no longer recognize Photoshop CS5 64 bit as an external editor. After adding it again manually, it still will not let me use various Photoshop plugin features. No 'merge to panorama' or "merge to HDR" or "open as Smart object" or "open as layer". I was able to add Photoshop C5 back as an editor manually but the options are still greyed out and any photos will not re-import back into Lightroon after editing. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Absolutely no issues before installing LR 3.6. Any suggestions? I don't want to re-install Photoshop CS5 and I'm not sure uninstalling LR 3.6 will fix the issue....
Anyonwe else having this problem?

I had same issue with my Win 7 i7 desktop system added CS5 manually but things just were not right so reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and now all is well. List issue I had with a Lightroom update was back in 2.4. On a side note ran same update on my Win 7 i5 laptop no issue what so ever.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

Thinkpad X1 Mouse Issues with USB 3.0 Dock and WIndows 8.1

I have a new X1 (3444-CUU) that I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. When I connected to the Thinkpad USB 3.0 Dock, there was an automatic updated of the firmware on the docking station.
Everything seems to be working except issues with my Keyboard and Mouse.Periodically, the mouse will disappear of the keyboard will simply stop working. Most recently, it was as if the delete key was stuck causing it to delete all my email (actually a feature I liked but unfortunately, can't allow).
Is there a known issue with wireless keyboard?

I have a possibly similar issue that seems to be related to the keyboard dock. In my case this is with logitec unified receiver, but what I found may help you narrow the issue's root cause.
I found that after a reboot, the dock's USB ports (bothh SS or USB 3.0) will not recognize logitech's unified receiver. Even though it is Windows reporting it, it seems to be related to the hardware. What I do to have minimally invasive 'functioning' system is to undock the Helix (use as tablet). This makes the genuine USB 2.0 port of the tablet accessible. I then plug the receiver into that port and wait until the mouse is recognized. Then remove the receiver, re-dock the tablet on the keyboard dock and plug the receiver into the dock's usb 3.0 port. Then everything works.
That seems to somehow circumvent part of the refreshing of the USB connected devices and allows them to work correctly.
I wonder if that addresses your issue. Of course I am opening another thread and ticket with that issue (will post a link after that)

Having issues with iTunes 11.1.5 on Windows 8.1

Ever since I've refreshed my windows computer two weeks ago. I am having issues with iTunes 11.1.5. For some reason I can access the iTunes Store, but most of the time when I do something internet related on iTunes, the app is either stuck on checking for downloads or when trying to sign in. I am trying to update all my apps but only a couple out of 30 actually start downloading but they keep getting stuck at "processing file". I have used another computer with Windows 8.1 with the same version of iTunes and its downloading app updates fine.

it works at first then after trying to update a few apps (the third one this time) iTunes again stops working and gives me the 8008 error.
Okay ... let's try seeing if that one is the root cause of the errors.
Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
Does that calm down the 8008s?

Acrobat 9 Pro issues with printing and now updating !!! :(

hello
I had an issues with printing from my gmail account or from windows live mail
so I made a complete re-installation
now I am stuck with version 9.3.0 and when I check for updates I get a message
UPDATER IS ALREADY RUNNING
only... it's not running and nothing is updating !
I made a restart... just in case... it did not change anything
as to the printing issue, in case some of you have met it and cleared it...(hope)
this was with version 9.5.0
I get no error message but no pdf is created, only a text document with this :
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
72gmvi not found, using Courier.
44dcmta not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
[96 96 97 72 96 42 64 0]
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
not a good start for my week... I hope yours is nicer
I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64

thanks Mylenium
the font association problem is something recent though, since I used acrobat to print mails directly from my gmail account previously...
it's galling but I installed a free pdf printer which does the job, I needed copies of these mails urgently !
as to the update issue, I see no aum.exe, msiexec.exe or setup.exe running... but that's quite above my head... do I look for those exact processes or are they generic names for processes ?
does my question make sense ????

Software Issue with New Power Management Update

In this post I'll be talking about the Power Management update for Windows 8.1 Pro, version 1.67.09.00, released on 10/15/2014.
I installed this via System Update yesterday and, when shutting down my computer before going to classes that day, I noticed something odd. Even after Windows shut down, the display went black, and the hard disk indicator light (yes, please bring those indicator lights back to the Thinkpad line!) stopped flashing, the power indicator was still on. From there I deduced the system was still on in a "limbo" state. In fact, the keyboard light was still functional, and so was the mute button! I was right.
Later that day, I let my computer sit through this "limbo" state, and a horrible apparition, the Blue Screen of Death, appeared! It stated that there was a "Power Driver State Failure" and immediately proceeded to shut down my computer. I rebooted, used System Restore to undo the installation, and the issue was fixed.
In short, don't install this update if you have Windows 8.1 Pro and a Thinkpad X230 Tablet. It didn't work well for me. Lenovo, please double and triple check your update before an eager geek like myself proceeds to install it.

Issues with video/audio playback and Source window

I have some video that I am trying to import to get into my sequence. Anytime I open the video into my source window (or drag it to the timeline), the audio goes crazy. It starts skipping around and jumbling itself. When I open the video file in Quicktime on my computer, it opens and plays fine. Also, I don't know if it is unrelated, but sometimes when I open a video in my Source window, there is no audio. I can drag it to the Sequence and double click on it to bring the Sequence video into the Source window and it plays fine.
The video that I am having issues with is a .mov filmed from an iPad (not sure which iPad model). It is filmed in Portrait mode, not sure if that matters. Please let me know what other information might be needed to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!

Ooh. Sorry about that.
- I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 v.6.0.3
- I'm sure I have the latest update. I'm using Creative Cloud, and the Adobe Application Update Manager says everything is up to date.
- Operating System is Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
- Source footage is a .mov filmed in portrait mode (I didn't record it.. Haha) on an iPad, not sure the model.
- I am getting no error messages.
- I was just dragging the video file from the Media Browser to the Source window. Nothing special.
- This is working on all of the other clips filmed from the same iPad at same resolution, etc. Also, this particular video plays perfectly in Quicktime. It's just when I try to play it in Premiere Pro.
- Other software that is currently running is standard stuff: antivirus, Outlook, Gtalk, Dropbox. Nothing that uses audio.
- I have installed K-Lite Codec pack when I got the computer.
- I have a Dell Preision T7600, Dual Xeon Quad-core processors (2.00GHz), 16 GBs of ram, Nvidia Quadro 4000 (2GB), and running off of a 256GB SSD.
- I am using the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration.
- The issue is happening on playback, both in the Source window and the Program window when I drag the video to the Sequence. It plays fine in Quicktime.

Issues with latest Illustrator CC update

Issue with the latest update of illustrator CC on windows 7
When copping large elements in illustrator its crashing and its crashing when dragging them across to Photoshop. I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday afternoon.
Its also not opening PDF files if illustrator is already open. If illustrator is closed then I choose to open a PDF in illustrator it will work, but not if a document is already open in illustrator. Will not open from bridge either, but drag and drop does still work.
I'm having to revert back to CS5 until the problem is resolved as its destroying my work flow

Thanks for reporting the issue to AI team. Will it be possible for you to share the AI file with me at [email protected] ?
I want to try the workflow at my end.

Win 7 shutdown issue with newest CC desktop update

Since yesterday's Creative Cloud desktop update, my Windows 7 Professional system now pauses at shutdown while an unnamed program closes. The system does eventually shut down on its own. This behavior is new, however - the system always shut down immediately. Upon troubleshooting, I've discovered that it's the Creative Cloud desktop app that's hanging. If I perform a selective startup and don't load CC, the system shuts down perfectly. As further confirmation, if CC is running and I shut it down first before shutting down the system, once again the system shuts down perfectly.
Is anyone else seeing this? I assume, since it didn't happen with the last version of CC Desktop, that it's something inherent in the new update to CC Desktop. While we're on the subject, how do I report this as a bug?

Still seems to be an issue, even with the latest version of the CC desktop app (running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit). I wonder if Adobe will get around to fixing this?
Presumably I'm obliged to have it running constantly in the background and can't disable it without impacting my CC applications?
