Lightroom 3 Beta doesn't open Catalogs from Lr 2...

Hi,
I just downloaded Lr 3 beta from Adobe :Labs and was trying to open my catalog, the one I was using in Lr 2. However it says that Lr 3 Beta does not recognize Lr 2 Catalogs....
Any ideas?

Lightroom 3 beta will not upgrade Lightroom 1.x or Lightroom 2.x catalogs. The beta is intended to be
used for testing and feedback purposes. Lightroom 1.x, 2.x and 3 beta libraries will be able to be
migrated to the finished version of Lightroom 3.
From the release notes. It is a good idea to read these in full, particularly when using a Beta.

  • Lightroom CC 2015 doesn't open

    I just installed Lightroom but it doesn't open.
    Nothing
    Appear UP TO DATE, all ok.
    Can I do something ?

    Hi RomanoDien…!
    Thank you very much for your advice concerning LR CC. It works! All troubles are over. Thank you.
    I understand that this issue is a common issue for many of us. You know that all of us users would be very sorry to loose the ability to track all the photographs on several HD’s, if something goes wrong.
    I appreciate your help.
    Kind regards

    After you have installed CC must uninstall Lr 5.
    So will works.
    Was the same problem at me with Win 7 and it works !

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Safari doesn't open maximized from a link in email

    When I open Safari from a link in the email program I use (Eudora Pro), the webpage doesn't open maximized-fills only about half of the monitor screen. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem. I did right-click on the Safari icon and changed the setting to open Safari maximized-still doesn't open it completely from a link.

    Hi Swarup,
                     You know to tell which mail format are you using, whether is Outlook or Lotus. SAP Connectors need to be installed for the same depending upon the mail type.

  • Lightroom 5.5 doesn't open after update using CC - how to proceed?

    After update, that appeared to proceed normally, and did not report any errors in CC, I'm unable to open Lightroom (both using the desktop icon, and double clicking on the .exe file). Absolutely nothing appears to happen when I click. Same situation after reboot (Win 7).
    Please advice!

    BR Karsten please see the response I gave SteveMGoff at Lightroom 5.5 won't open after update.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

    Hi,
    I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
    Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
    Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
    But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
    If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
    But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
    What to do?
    Regards,
    Menno

    Menno,
    I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
    But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
    You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.

  • LR 2.5 64 bit will not open catalogs from LR 2.5 32 bit

    I just upgraded my PC from XP (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64 bit) and have changed LR (version 2.5) from 32 bit version to 64 bit version in the process
    I have used LR 2.x for a long time on my old system, and had created a good archive structure with LR catalogs for each year on an external drive + had one for the current year on my computer.
    After the upgrade, LR will open the one catalog that was stored on my computer (but now transferred to the same disc as the archive structure), but not the catalogs in the archive structure. The error message says that the archive catalogs are not writable - even if these catalogs are exactly the same and have been made in the same LR version as the one catalog that will open.
    What's wrong here, and - most impotantly - what's the trick to fix it?
    Here is the error message that I am getting on the archive catalogs:

    While you are NOT running Lightroom, look in the directory where your catalogue is located and check to see if a file with a ".lock" extension is there. If so, delete it and then try running Lightroom again. That file is created when Lightroom starts and is deleted when LR exits. It prevents two copies of LR from accessing the catalogue simultaneously. If LR crashes, that file can be left on disk, preventing access.

  • Lightroom4 won't open catalog from ext hardrive-mac

    i just downloaded and installed lr4 on my imac. i had the beta and everything was working fine. my catolog, previews, and images all on an external hard drive. i go to open lr4 and it says "Lightroom cannot open the catalog named “A_Hazlewood Lightroom Catalog” located on volume “Photos” because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location."  why is this? the beta was working great. i have not changed anything. help?

    It's a permission issue...on the extern drive are you sure you as admin and read/write? If you Command i on the drive, what are your settings? Unless you have a real good reason, I would set the drive to Ignoreownership on this volume. You might also to a fix permissions on the main drive using Disk Utlility.

  • Lightroom 3.6 doesn't open

    Just downloaded Lightroom 3.6 after I had a problem opening Lightroom 3.5 which I've been using for a few months.  When I open the program I get a select catalog dialogue box.  If I choose a photo to open I get a runtime error on the program.  I downloaded 3.6 hoping it would solve the issue and the exact same thing is happening.  Any solutions out there?  I'm running Windows Vista.

    Hal,
    Thanks for the advice.  I've seen this solution on the forum previously,
    however, I have searched my computer for the routing to the
    AppData/roaming......preferences file and cannot find it.  A search using
    the suffix for the agprefs file also comes up empty.  I cannot find the old
    catalogs in the My Pictures/Lightroom folder.  The only files there are
    catalog preview files.
    I've uninstalled and re-installed Lightroom twice and the problem still
    exists.  Any other thoughts?
    Kind regards,

  • Lightroom 4.4 doesn't open

    I downloaded the LR 4.4 update and get an error message "lightroom quit unexpectedly".  Does this with CS6 download as well.  Updates from other software providers work fine.  Only Adobe software has this issue.  Running OS 10.8.3 on a MacPro 6 core.  Solution?

    Howdy All,
    After going back into Lightroom/Preferences for the thousandth time, all of a sudden instead of having PhotoshopElements11.exe as the only logical choice, I now had a folder within the Adobe folder called Photoshop Elements 11 (that had its own special Adobe folder icon) and within that folder was no longer "Photoshop Elements11.exe" but now "Photoshop Elements Editor"!  That, of course, was what I was looking for all along.  Once that was selected within Preferences, Elements now pops-up with an image ready for editing.  I'm not sure why Photoshop Elements Editor is now a choice when it wasn't last night.  I had already performed re-installs of both products, several re-boots etc. and never had Editor as a choice.  I hadn't even shut down my PC overnight either!  I was beginning to think that Editor was only a Mac term and that Win7 used some other name that I had yet to discover.  Maybe my PC was just waiting for 2013 :-).  All is well.

  • Lightroom 5.3 doesn't read files from 70d

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Lightroom 5.3 on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5 but it will not read JPEG and CR2 files from my canon 70d. Can anyone help?

    Downloading direct from cameras is the most problematic way to get files to your computer. I suggest you buy a quality card reader and use that.
    Can you Copy and Paste the files from the Camera to a folder on your computer???
    The USB cables with cameras are not usually the best quality it seems.

  • Lightroom 4 Beta freezing on opening

    Working on a Mac pro dual core with 16 g ram. Was last working on an image in develop module when I closed the app. On relaunching it opens to the image I was working on, shows the little box that says loading then the program freezes and I get the very loved spinning beach ball of color. Have to force quit.
    Have restarted computer and so far have the same problem every time I try to relaunch. Anyone have a possible solution. I have about 20 images in the library. All was working well prior with just a little slowness in response with adjustment sliders.

    Only 20 images in the Library? I would delete the Library and start over with a fresh one.
