Lightroom 3 not compatible?

Just bought Lightroom 3, but when I double click the exe file, I get a message from both my 64-bit computers that the application is not compatible and that I should check with the software developer for the correct version. How do I get past this?

Not originally. I originally downloaded it from my download page which
gives a download which is not the complete program, but instead is more
like a link leading to Adobe. This is how my Photoshop program loaded
as well.
But after I got some answers in this discussion, I found the page that
you referenced in your answer and I am currently downloading from this
same location. It's taking a while since it is obviously the complete
program.
The new download should be done shortly and I will close the discussion
if it works. Stay tuned and thanks.

No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Lightroom android app not compatible

Hi there.
I am trying to install the Lightroom android app but it states my device is not compatible. I am using a Samsung Galaxy 6 with V5 so fully up-to-date.
Can anyone shed any light please?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thx, I hope youre right

After downloading and creating the MSI for Lightroom, the install fails with no errors reported. Checking compatability, windows comes back with not compatible on both win 7 and 8.1.

Installer MSI fails with no error or message of any kind. Tested compatability with the windows compatability check and it comes back as not compatible. What now?

Hans,
It is a known problem on Windows 98, Windows and Windows 2000 if you are using Intel Pentium 4 processor with Sun JRE and Symantec JIT. I had the same problem with Windows 98. Oracle has a patch. Please see Note:131299.1 on metalink for details.

I AM USING FIREFOX 5 AND ROBOFROM 7 AND THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. WHAT VERSIONS OF EACH CAN I DOWNLOAD TO HAVE THEM COMPATIILE AND USEABLE?

I HAVE CONTACTED ROBOFORM AND THEY TELLME THAT THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO USE BOTH PROGRAMS. HOW DO I GET A VERSION OF FIREFOX BEFORE VERSION 4

I just tried to import photos and took a screen shot of the import settings. Does anyone see any problem with the destination settings? I think that after I took the online course on LR, all I did was uncheck the Into Subfolder: Lightroom Trial.
I also took a screen shot of the answer I got after the pictures "imported."I
If anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this, I sure would appreciate it. Thank you.

Nikon D7100 Not Compatible with Adobe CS6

I recently purchased a new Nikon D7100 DSLR camera and was quite surprised to find out that it is not compatible with my Adobe CS5 Standard Edition Suite software.
From the little bit of info I found online, it appears that non-upgradable changes to the Camera Raw component between versions CS5 and CS6 have made my software incompatible with my new camera. This means that with my CS5 Standard Suite I cannot open RAW image files in Bridge or Photoshop.
The only two options I have found so far are:
[1] Upgrade my software to CS6 or CC: For me this is cost prohibitive.
[2] Use Adobe's RAW to DNG converter and then open the image files as DNGs in Bridge and Photoshop: It appears that the DBG converter is reducing the file size and this I assume (rightly to wrongly) that it might also be reducing the image quality. To facilitate maximum options in image post production, I want to maintain the extreme detail that RAW provides. I am not sure if DNG will retail the exact same level of detail and quality. Can anyone shed additional light on this?
[3] Are there any other option that I have missed that would allow me to upgrade the Camera Raw component of CS5 so that it is compatible with newer DSLRs like the Nikon D7100?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
irwin

You have not missed any options for CS5 opening the raw data, directly. The D7100 requires at least CS6/ACR 7.4 or DNGC 7.4 that will make DNGs that will open in older ACR versions.
DNGs may different in size from the NEFs due to differences in lossless compression or a different-sized embedded preview image or even missing Nikon-only metadata in the DNG. In other words, the photosite values for the sensor data should be preserved but the packaging of, or the other data around, the sensor data may be different.
The cheapest option to make PS work with the native raw files is likely PS-CC for $10/month as part of the Photography Plan.
Another option is to purchase (serial number version) or rent (CC Photography Plan version) Lightroom and use it to do what you’d normally do in Bridge and ACR, and then use Edit In Photoshop w/in LR to do finishing touches in your older PS. This option renders a TIF or PSD to disk with all your raw-file adjustments and then passes this file to PS for further editing. The one caveat with buying the serial-number LR is that a new version of LR is probably about ready to come out and waiting until that new version is available would save money.
One thing to consider is that the PS-CS6/ACR 7.x has a new toning model which is an improvement for most images and you don’t have access to that if you’re not using at least CS6.
The reason Adobe doesn’t add new camera support to CS5 (and CS4 and CS3 and CS2 and CS and 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) forever is because they want to be paid for their work, and if every camera update was free forever people would only buy PS, once, and would keep using that without paying anything more until maybe the OS on their computer wasn’t compatible, anymore. This is one reason Adobe went with CC, so people would pay a little continuously and this constant cashflow would better match Adobe paying their employees continuously, instead of having to budget for the future based on how many new customers might buy an upgrade every 1.5 years or so.

Print Studio Pro plugin is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 Editor for Mac

It appears that the latest version of Print Studio Pro PlugIn is not compatible with the Editor version of Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac as available on the App store. The install gives an error saying that it did not find a supported version of Photoshop Elements. This error has been reported before for Elements version 12 but was reportedly fixed in the latest version of Print Studio Pro. Now it appears that this version may support Elements 12 for Mac but not the Editor only version from the app store. Any suggestions for work-around on this?

"Any suggestions for work-around on this?"
No!
Not untill Mac and Adobe and Canon get their collective acts together. Mac (Apple) has the bad habit of upgrading their stuff and not being forthcoming with the particulars given to 3rd party companies like Canon and Adobe.
Besides the cost difference of Mac's the compatibility issues are it's worst features.

File Not Compatible w/ This Version of Photoshop?

I was working on a file last night, clicked save, walked away, and came back a few minutes later. It appeared that the file saved; however, my computer was frozen. I gave the system a forced restart and now I get a message saying that the file is not compatible w/ this version of photoshop (CS6). I can see the saved file in Lightroom and it has the last edits in it that I did right before saving, but the file will not open in Photoshop.
I tried renaming the file w/ no luck. If I right click the file and click properties I can see the correct file size and camera information for the file.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

You're probably out of luck. It sounds as if your system failed just at the time when Photoshop was trying to save your file, and what actually got onto the disk was truncated or corrupted.
I take it the file did not auto-open the next time you started Photoshop. That would have been your best bet, for the Photoshop Auto-Save recovery feature to have kicked in. But apparently the failure occurred when there was no file auto-saved, or perhaps the auto-saved version was deleted coincident with the save. That's bad luck indeed.
I'd definitely suggest looking in the Windows System Event Log to see whether you're having drive problems, and if none are reported perhaps doing a CHKDSK on the drive to ensure your file system isn't corrupted.

File not compatible- won't open in CS 5

I have an image that I opened from Lightroom into PS CS5- it opened as a NEF (raw) file. I worked on it and saved it several times while working on it as a PSD. Now, when I go to open that PSD (from my external hard drive), it says that the file is not compatible with my version of PS. (It's the version I used to create the file.) Background: I tried updating Camera Raw last week, but it said that I first had to update PS Manager and something happened where that wouldn't update, so I gave up. I'm on a MAC version 10.6.6

By the way, Peter, I had meant to note. In the other thread you cited, you say:
>
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
>
This kind of crash at that location often means a bad font, or so I've been told.
This is actually an incredibly common failure, and it is much much more generic than bad fonts. It could be caused by bad fonts, but it could be caused by almost anything.
This indicaets a program has tried to defeference a pointer whose value is zero. That is, some function was passed a reference to some part of the program's memory (typically pointing to some data structure. It could be a number, a string, an TexttFrame, another function, a file, really anyting), and instead of that reference being an address, it was zero. And the function didn't check to see if thie address was valid, it just tried to read from address zero. Which, under many operating systems, including OSX, generates a trap and causes a crash.
So it's necessary to look at the stack trace to see what function generated the error. And that function was probably called be some other function by anothre function etc., and the fault is probably further upstream. If, e.g., the IDML export code calls the system's fprintf() function with a null pointer, the crash might be in fprintf(), but it would be the fault of the IDML export code.
Sometimes the faulting address might be more unique. Like if the pointer not zero but say, 3. There probably aren't too many cases where a pointer gets initialized to 3 by accident, so it might usually be the same thing. But address zero is incredibly common. (So are fun ones like 0xdeadbeef and 0xfafababe and 0xcafecafe).
Cheers. I wonder what happened with bizcomm...

Lightroom not showing edits made in ACR

I edited photos in Adobe Camera Raw from Bridge, but when I look at the same files in Lightroom, they do not appear to include the edits. I did verify that xmp files were created when I edited the files in ACR. Why is Lightroom not reading the xmp file and showing the edits?

I appreciate the detailed response. I have been told by a photography instructor that it makes sense to use both Lightroom and Photoshop together and that Lightroom is for end-to-end workflow (which Photoshop is not capable of). I was not aware that Lightroom is only designed for front-end workflow. Is there any formal documentation on this that I can read to understand the purpose of Lightroom?
The Adobe website has some good introductory videos. I think this is a great place to start:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
but the other videos can be found behind the Products and Channels links toward the top of that video's webpage.
The recommendation to use Lightroom with Photoshop, rather than LR on its own, is somewhat akin to recommending Bridge + ACR + PS, except it makes less sense to even think of using Bridge+ ACR on thier own without Photoshop. You can do a lot with LR on its own but not quite everything. On the other hand, those specific tasks which you cannot do in LR may be done using some other editing software than PS, including many cheap and even free alternatives, or using older versions of PS even if they are not ACR-compatible with your camera.
When you use Bridge, the Raw conversion and similar types of parametric editing are assigned to ACR and the rest is passed to Photoshop. Bridge cannot directly print or export without calling on another program or utility to do that. It can only view preview thumbnails and manage metadata and issue instructions to other software. ACR cannot paint, warp, use layers, etc - because it belongs to the same basic class of software, as Lightroom's Develop module capabilities.. in fact there is a very close functional correspondence between these two, and deliberately so; so that the image adjustment parameters involved can be inter-compatible.
When you use Lightroom, the Raw conversion and parametric editing can be very efficiently taken care of internally by LR so ACR does not need to be involved. This works especially well for dynamically applying edits across batches of images on the fly, previewing the effect of processing presets (recipes), making use of a full history of the changes applied to each image, and so on, You can print or export directly without leaving the parametric realm, a little as if you were able to do so from inside ACR.
But when an image editing task is required that is not of this parametric kind (such as compositing, detailed retouching other than a little dustspotting, etc) then just as Bridge can pass an image into PS that will be saved as a new file version, Lightroom can also do the same using its own workflow that does not involve Bridge.
The method is very simple: a new LR image version is created based on a brand new working file saved to disk. Ctrl+E or right-click and select "Edit in... Photoshop". and your image as it currently appears in LR, is automatically opened inside PS. Save when you are finished, and the PS-edited changes appear inside LR transparently. Then you carry on working with that, in the same way as for any other image inside LR,

Rebel T3 not compatible with Windows 8

My 2012 Rebel T 3 is not compatible with a newly purchased Toshiba laptop with Windows 8.
What can I do to "fix" this?

I hate using the cable. It wastes camera charge and seems to go slower.
Also, I hate letting get computer pop-up handle the transfer because it is clueless as to what the files are and asks what program to open them with and then it just stores them wherever it feels is right. Doing it manually is simpler.
If your camera does not have a card reader, you can buy one almost anywhere (Best Buy, Wal Mart, Target) for cheap.
Create a file on your hard drive (c:drive) for photos. Make a new folder in that file For every batch of pictures. Name it by the date and a brief description (2014-10-03; pumpkin patch and dogs).
open My computer and open the photo file on C: drive.
Open My Computer again and then open the card reader drive. You now have 2 open windows you can make small and next to each other. Highlight all your files on the card reader. Drag and drop them into the folder you made to hold them. Bingo.
If you don't have a post processing program like Canon's DPP or Adobe Lightroom, you can open the photos in windows slide show or a paint or probably some others.

Is Lightroom 4 compatible with Yosemite?

I really want to install Yosemite, but I depend on Lightroom 4 for work. Has anyone installed Yosemite and is Lightroom 4 running fine? I can't install Yosemite unless Lightroom 4 works perfectly.
Thanks.

Please be careful
I am an Adobe user CS5 and LR4
I upgraded this evening and now have no CS5!!
An Adobe agent has just told me that LR4 is NOT compatible with Yosemite!
The same agent felt it would be a good idea for me to pay Adobe $400 to upgrade to CS6 and then I could use LR4 and PS!!!!!!!!
I am disgusted

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.
