Light room wont allow me to select pictures in this screen.

My screen in LR doesn't allow me to select my photos. Why not? how can I get to the screen where I can select photos.@@

Tell us exactly what steps you have tried, in great detail, using the Lightroom names for the steps you have followed, so we can understand what screen you are referring to.
Or show us a screen capture.

  • Purchased Light Room 5, installed, registered .. but keep getting this screen "An error occurred when attempting to change modules. ... OK" ?? WTF? ?

    Installed Light Room 5.2 from Disc on my mac os x (latest, updated version)
    But keep getting this "An error occurred when attempting to change modules.. OK" no other options/selection and of course if I click OK ... it crashed out ...
    Can anyone help?
    For such a big company .. there isn't any chat option to get to someone to talk to  !!!

    Just because you are the only user on the computer doesn't mean you are the administrator.
    Also, the fact that you are being asked to re-enter your serial number each time you start means that it is not being remembered because something is either preventing it from being written to you disk or (less likely) something is erasing it. This does suggest that you lack certain permissions to make changes to your computer. Not only to save your serial number, but to have access to the Lightroom files needed to change modules (they are just plug-ins within Lightroom).
    Try creating a new user account and run Lightroom from there (making sure that it is part of the Administrator group).

  • Illustrator CS3 - Print - Output - Wont allow me to select Separations

    Hi there
    I'm silkscreening for the first time.  The prepping process should be really simple right?  Separate colour layers, using Illustrator, then print each layer onto transparency sheets.  Well I'm about to loose my mind.
    The image is CMYK, its a single spot colour (I think) which is red and the outlines are black.  Printer is a Canon ix6500.
    I can't seem to separate the colours in Illustrator CS3?!  Why?!  When selecting Print > Output > Mode > it won't allow me to select Colour Separations.
    I've tried to overcome this by selecting Printer > Adobe Postscript and PPD > Canon ix6500 series.  This allows me to select Colour Separations, but then it won't print, it only saves it as a PDF, and prints it as is.
    PLEASE HELP!!!  Any advice would be appreciated!!  I'm going out of my mind here!!

    I'm silkscreening for the first time. The prepping process should be really simple right?
    It is. But you're misunderstanding the whole principle of color separation.
    Separate colour layers...
    No. Forget Layers. Layers has nothing to do with color separations. Think of Layers as nothing but an organizational tool for the stack of objects in your file. Color separation is the generation of a separate print for each ink that will be printed.
    ...then print each layer onto transparency sheets.
    No. The image for each ink is printed on its own sheet.
    The image is CMYK...
    For clarity, don't call it an image. That makes it difficult to figure out what you're talking about. This is Illustrator; an object-based layout program. Your design can contain any number and combination of raster images, vector paths, and text objects. The word "image" in the context of a program like Illustrator always suggests a raster image object. If you're referring to a raster image object contained in the file, call it that: a raster image. If you're talking about your whole artwork, call it the design or the document. Don't call it "the image".
    ...its a single spot colour (I think)
    That's self-contradictory. Nothing can be CMYK and at the same time a single spot color.
    Here's a simple key to understanding color separation: Don't think in terms of "colors." Think entirely in terms of inks. In your immediate context, how many inks are going to be used to print with individual silkscreens?
    By definition, a CMYK color is built up by overlaying a combination of up to four specific inks: Process Cyan, Process Magenta, Process Yellow, and Process Black. (Note the word "process" here, refering to "four-color process.")
    By definition, a spot color is a Swatch (in Illustrator) which represents a single ink.
    So "spot color" and "process color" are antithetical. "CMYK" is germane to process color, not spot color. Although process color can be done by silkscreen printing, spot color is more common, and I'm assuming that's what you are targeting.
    So it's simple, when you think like this:
    Ask yourself: How many inks are going to be allowed to print this design? (Two: a black ink and a red ink.)
    Therefore, create that many (2) Swatches in Illustrator. Make sure they are defined as Spot Color Swatches. Use only those two Swatches in your entire design.
    You can name those two Spot Color Swatches anyway you want. It doesn't matter. There is a common misconception that Spot Color Swatches must be named like (or even selected from) Swatches in the Pantone Swatch Library. Not so. Regardless of how you name them, each color separation is going to print to its own separation "plate" and the actual image on that "plate" (or film, or vellum) is going to be black. This is true in both process and spot color. In spot color work, each Spot Color Swatch--again, regardless of how you name it-- is going to be printed to its own "plate" and the image on that plate will be black. The name of the Spot Color Swatches, therefore, is nothing more than a convention by which to convey to the printing house what inks you intend to be used for each separation "plate."  Obvously, it makes the most sense to name your Spot Color Swatches according to the names of the actual silkscreen inks that will be used (ex: "Nazdar Fire Red"), if you know them. If not, simply naming them "SpotRed" and "SpotBlack" will be fine.
    Which brings me to a point of common confusion with which I think you are struggling: Exactly parallel to the matter of merely naming your Spot Color Swatches is the matter of merely coloring your Spot Color Swatches for on-screen display. There is a common misconception that Spot Color Swatches must be selected from some pre-existing Swatch Library (ex: Panone). Again, not so. So long as you define a Swatch as Spot Color, you can use any "color mixer" to specify any color you want for how it is displayed on-screen. You can color your Spot Color Swatch using either the RGB color sliders, or the CMYK sliders. Again, it does not matter one whit. Using the CMYK sliders to color your Spot Color Swatches does not make it "a CMYK color" (i.e.; a process color). So long as the Swatch is designated a Spot Color Swatch it's still defining a spot color (a single ink) and will print to only one separation "plate". Obviously, it makes the most sense to try to color your Spot Color Swatches to approximate how the actual corresponding ink will look in print. But the truth is, it doesn't matter. You could, for example, use CMYK sliders to color your Spot Color Swatch named "Nazdar Fire Red" so that it looks lime green on screen. If you did, the separation plate would still be labeled "Nazdar Fire Red", and it would still have a black image on it, and the color in the final printed result would simply be a matter of what physical ink the printer loaded his silkscreen with.
    Again, to summarize that: Using CMYK sliders to color a Spot Color Swatch does not make it "a CMYK color" in terms of color separation. That is, it does not make it a process color. As long as the Swatch is defined as a Spot Color Swatch, it will print to only one color separation plate.
    Finally, Layers: Don't worry at all about which Swatch is used on which Layer. You can have a thousand red fills and/or strokes, and a thousand black fills and/or strokes applied to a kazillion different objects, and those objects can be arranged in any stacking order on any number of Layers, or all on one Layer. It doesn't matter. If you've only defined two Spot Color Swatches, and you've only used those two Swatches in your design, then when you print the design to color separations, you will still only get two separations: one for SpotRed, one for SpotBlack (or whatever you named your Spot Color Swatches).
    Printer is a Canon ix6500.
    The question regarding your desktop printer is always: Is it a PostScript printer? That is, does it contain a (firmware) PostScript interpreter, or does its driver contain a (software) PostScript interpreter? If not, it can't print color separations. If this is your problem, there is a workaround, and a particularly popular one in screen printing, sign making, and other industries: You can "print" to a PDF "virtual printer" (i.e.; software which pretends to be a printer). If you have Acrobat (that's Acrobat, not Reader) installed, and if you are on Windows, you probably have a virtual printer named Adobe PDF installed. If so, you can select that as your "printer" and "print" color separations to it. If you've built your design correctly the resulting PDF will have one page for each ink. (The image on each page will be black.) You can then print those PDF pages to your non-PostScript printer. (This workflow is quite common in small screen printing shops.)

  • The button to download the newest itunes is faint and wont allow me to select? trying to download onto my mac

    hi guys,
    ive just got a new ipod 7th gen.
    trying to download the new itunes version but when i go to itunes page i can select download onto mac, but underneath it the buttons have changed to a small blue and white question mark and the 'download' button in the right hand top corner is fainted out and wont let me select.
    any ideas?
    i cant go for a run until i get my new ipod working! eeek!

    If that is happening on the iTunes web page, that is odd.  What version of Mac OS X does your Mac run?
    You can try using Software Update instead.  From the Apple menu, select Software Update.  If there is a more recent version of iTunes available for your Mac and version of Mac OS X, it will appear listed as an available update.

  • Using macbook pro OS X ver 10.7.5 Trying to burn photos to a dvd but disk utility wont allow me to select photos to burn

    I have a macbook pro using OS 10.7.5
    The Disk Utility asks to select files to be burned. I have inserted a DVD however I cannot select the files as they are dimmed as is the "burn" button.
    How can I easily burn photo files to a dvd?

    Create a new folder on your Desktop. Drag the photos you want to burn to the DVD into this folder. Open Disk Utility and select New > Disk Image From Folder from DU's File menu. Locate the folder in the File selector then click on the Image button. Enter a Save name and location in the File selector. From the Image Format dropdown menu select the desired format. If you want the DVD compatible on Macs and PCs then select the Hybrid option. Set the Encryption option to None.
    This will create a disc image in the location selected. The disc image may then be burned to a DVD.
    Or, from the Finder's File menu select New Burn Folder. Drag the photos you want to burn into the Burn Folder created. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the Burn Folder and select Burn "Burn Folder" to disc from the context menu. Follow onscreen prompts.

    The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  You won't lose any data by doing this.

  • Selecting pictures from the same folder in the main library

    Hello,
    Still related to the folders.
    Is there a way to select, from the main library, all the pictures that belong to one given folder?
    That would be usefull to me if I want to make a slide show and find a specific picture and want to get all the other pictures from this given folder but without leaving the main library window. That would allow me to select pictures from different folders without going to each folder everytime...
    If this question makes any sense and you have the answer you're really good!
    Sorry english is not my native language!
    Thanks in advance.
    Have a nice day

    Before I can answer, I need to know what you mean by folders.
    Do you mean an Album in the source column?
    Do you mean a folder you created in the source column?

  • How to upload trial balance when recon accounts wont allow direct postings

    hi,
    i would like to upload trial balance figures but i am not able to upload the figures for recon accounts since it wont allow direct postings. how to overcome this problem? any idea?

    Hello Raja,
    Under normal circumstances, uploading of GL balances is done as below
    - take the closing trial balance
    - create a control account in SAP
    - Create a JV to transfer debits to respective GL accounts in SAP and credit the clearing account
    -Create another JV for all credits.
    - For customers/ vendors / asset balances use seperate method. Create first the reconciliation GL master record in SAP.
    - Check the recon account entry in all the master record.
    - now create invoices and the recon account is automatically updated.
    - lastly make sure the clearing account balance is zero
    reg

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

    Apparently you have two catalogs now, one from each installation. If you did importing, tagging and editing during the first installation, that will all be in the first catalog. Find the first catalog - it is a file with the suffix .lrcat and the default place for LR to put it is usually your Pictures folder - and (with LR closed) double-click on it. LR will launch with catalog #1 active.
