Lightroom 4.4 won't export any photos!!!

I'm running Windows 8 and for some odd reason I'm not able to export anything from Lightroom. When I try to press the export button from any location it will just freeze up. There are no error messages or anything, it just freezes. It was working fine before and I don't think I changed any export settings or anything and it just randomly stopped exporting. I always have to kill it off now with task manager. I had the problem in 4.3 randomly yesterday and then I upgraded to 4.4 and I still have the same problem. I made a new catergoy and that still didn't help. I'm still able to edit photos and such but its just the export feature that isn't working from what I know.
Anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Is the Export panel already visible and it locks up when you press the button at the bottom, or do you mean you just have some photos highlighted and choose File / Export… from the menu and it locks up. It is unclear to me what from any location” means relative to an Export button.
If trying to bring up the Export panel is enough to cause problems, maybe LR is trying to enumerate USB- and network-attached devices to give you a menu of possible destinations and getting stuck on one of them that is either no longer attached or not responding correctly. If I have my phone plugged into a USB cable attached to my computer programs that deal with USB-devices sometimes have problems so I usually disconnect it before doing USB-centric things.
If you have a network attached printer that no longer exists or used to be connected to a family-member’s laptop that they took with them, ether could leave a network connected device in strange state.
If you wait a while does it eventually work?
Does it work if you reboot?

Photo booth won't take any photos

Photo booth won't take any photos or videos, it opens fine but when I click on the button nothing happens, no error message or nothing. I have updated Mavericks twice to solve the problem, but no joy, I can use Photo booth in the guest user no problem but not as the Administrator, what is it looking for? Is there is a permissions problem?

it's just happened to me too! any chance you've sorted it out? maybe you can let us know how you did it?! no one seems to be responding!

Lightroom 5.5 won't export to any external editors (using a Mac).

I have updated and reinstalled both photoshop and lightroom to the latest version and reinstalled but whenever I click edit in...nothing happens, i have photoshop CC, CS6 and Nik software and clicking any of those has no effect.
Any suggestions? using a late model 2012 Mac with 24 Mb of Ram and the latest OS too....help!!!!lightroom

Hi all, I had the same problem today after my first try at Lightroom, despite having for a few months when I subscribed to Photoshop CC with the promotion. I am usually an Aperture user on the Mac and it hadn't given me any problem whatsoever. But Aperture 3.5 is showing its age and I really want to try using LR for my professional work and get better results from my newer cameras.
When I updated both Photoshop CC and LR earlier this month with their latest updates. I didn't know when or how I had two copies of Photoshop, Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. So I took the liberty by uninstalling the 'older' Photoshop CC and keep the newer Photoshop CC 2014. Then the problem started. I couldn't edit any photos from LR to Photoshop. PS would open but then did nothing. I tried fixing permissions without any help. Then I also uninstalled the 'newer' 2014 version and rebooted. Then I signed in to CC and had Photoshop installed again.
Then magic happened. It worked. Mind you, when I opened Photoshop the first time (before I open LR), it did ask me "do you want to import presets from previous versions?" I clicked no because I wanted a fresh copy. But I kept the plugins in the same folder (when you uninstall PS, it usually retains the folder for PS and Plugins because its third party software). So the PS was able to pick up the plugins that I previously installed and worked perfectly again.
I am not sure if it's a solution to all but at least it worked for me.
Cheers
BTW, LR is really slow in operation when compares to Aperture... just not as slick but the end result is way better than Aperture I must admit.

Lightroom 5.2 won't export to HDREfex 2.0 in Windows 8.1

Lightroom 5.2 won't properly export a photo to HDREfex 2.0 in Windows 8.1.
It briefly pops open HDR but won't complete processing the photo.
Photoshop 5.1 will export to HDR.
I have reinstalled LR and HDR.
Ihave changed the compatibilty mode to Windows 8 and Windows 7, but still won't open properly.

I too can not export my presentation to Powerpoint. The presentation was originally in powerpoint and I imported into Keynote. Now I wanted to export it to let some others work on it. I receive this error below when I try the export.
"An error occurred while exporting your document to powerpoint."
I have tried some of the suggestions from other posts regarding exporting to qt like uncheck close after last slide and trashing the com.apple.iwork.keynote.plist file. Neight of these worked in my case with Powerpoint.

Aperture won't export all photos to Mail

Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.

I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.

Updated iPhone 4 to latest ios7 and now my camera won't save any photos to my albums

Updated my iPhone 4 to the latest ios7 and now my camera won't save photos to my albums? How do I fix that?

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Lightroom 4.4 won't export books as PDF or to blurb. No error messages at all.

Window 7 SP1, 64 bit
Lightroom 4.4
I made a 178 page book I'd like to buy but when I press the 'send to blurb' button or the 'export as pdf' button nothing happens. No pop up screens, no error messages, no progress bars, nothing.
I mad a sample empty book and it gets the right blurb stuff to pop up so it must have to do with the files or the overall size of the book.
I also did a duplicate book of the one I want and tried that but it failed in the same was as the original.
Looking at my windows task manager doesn't indicate the lightroom is rendering anything so I don't believe it's doing anything.

I took this advice found within this thread: Issues when uploading book to Blurb from Lightroom 5
Select Apply Background Globally - turn it off and on several times, then leave it off
Select GRAPHIC - turn it off and then turn it on and off several times
Select BACKGROUND COLOR - turn it on then off then on then off
I did this to the first 10 pages or so and now I got the blurb popup and it appears to be rendering and uploading.

Lightroom crashes when trying to export any files

When I try to export retouched files to hard drive files my Mac crashes and has to be force quitted. I thought this maybe a L'room 4 problem so I bought L'room 5 and it's still happening. What can I do?

Thank you very much for your reply.
You say I may not have enough resources and I wondered if I should tell you what I've got.
I'm on an Early 1998 Mac Pro with 2x2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors with 2gb of ram.
I'm running it on OSX 10.8.4.
Would more memory help as I can't afford a new Mac.

Faces stops scanning halfway through, won't list any photos at all.

Just bought iLife '09, so I'm a little behind the curve. I started the faces scan, but accidentally closed the program halfway through it, so now, when I start the program, I just have the blank corkboard template.
I deleted the face.db and face_blob.db files to force it to rescan, but now it just gets halfway through and gives up, sending me back to the blank corkboard template. I don't know what to try next, I don't want to delete anything important. My library is crazy unorganized from being like 6 years old, so that might be affecting things. All my software is updated.
Anyone have solutions here?

Greetings,
Love the name.
Is your iPhoto Library stored in the usual location? (User > Pictures > iPhoto Library)
How much free space do you have on your computer?
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
Go into iPhoto and name someone in your library and then see if their face appears when you click on "Faces".
If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
If the issue persists after the rebuild, close iPhoto, remove the 2 faces database files again, open iPhoto and then leave iPhoto open until the status arrows next to Faces stop spinning. THEN name someone and go back to the cork board to check it out.
Hope that helps.

IPhoto won't export photos without restarting iPhoto

i'm running snow leopard and the newest update of iPhoto '09. I can export photos just fine, but if I try and export photos a 2nd time, the progress bar from the previous session is still there and I can't choose my export options (nor can I do anything but "cancel") this happens EVERY time since upgrading to 10.6. So if I export photos and want to export a 2nd batch, I have to restart iPhoto. fail.

I have the same problem. In the new Snow Leopard, not only can I not export any photo from iPhoto to any other directory, but I cannot use iPhotos to Set Desktop. Nor can I drag any photo out of my iPhoto folder to another folder.
I also cannot use the Preferences Desktop/Screen Saver feature to load an iPhoto into the Desktop. The iPhotos photos display, but they will not appear in in the little preview window. Only a large question-mark appears. The program allows me to use the Apple-supplied photos, but not the ones in iPhoto. If I attempt to load an iPhoto photo into the box, it deselects the current photo and reverts to the picture of the aurora.

Why i am unable to export to photos in lr 3.6 ?

I use adobe photoshop lightroom 3.6, earlier i was able to export photos to my desired folders in desired format but i am not at all able to export any photos at all!

You need to tell us somewhat more than "not able to export".
Like: what is your procedure and what exactly or where exactly does which issue occur and on which OS you are working.

IPhoto '08 won't export pics

iPhoto '08 won't export any files. I've tried jpegs and tiffs and iPhoto 08 just hangs during export - I've had to "force quit" it - any ideas? I've tried exporting just one pic and let it run for close to 5 minutes before giving up.

ggrosh
Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that doesn't work try trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder.

I'm getting an error message in Lightroom 6 when I try to export a photo. It's "The specified folder is not writable". It doesn't matter which folder I pick, I get the same message. However, if I open the image in photoshop and then save it, it works just

I've already reset my lightroom preferences, didn't work. I also uninstalled, and reinstalled lightroom. Didn't work either.
I have no problems with any other programs including photoshop, so this has to be an issue with lightroom.
Also, I can import from a memory card using lightroom and save to them to the folders just fine, the error only comes when I'm exporting a photo after I'm done editing in.
I'm running windows 8.1 and the folders are all onedrive folders. (I have unlimited onedrive storage so I take full advantage of it.) I've always saved them this way, and only started having trouble after updating to Lightroom 6

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
