Lightroom 5.2 - catogue is corrupt and wont save a new catalogue

Got the <Unexpected error opening catalogue> dialog when starting Lightroom 5.2.  Will not allow me to save a new catalogue. Deleted old catalogue thinking that might prompt Lightroom to create a new catalogue or allow me to create and save a new one. Create Folder with New Catalogue allows me to enter a new catalogue name but then Select Catalogue dialog box is empty. Program wont open!

Update - I deleted Ligtroom 5.2 and reinstalled 5. Undeleted my previously deleted catalogue and it now everything seems to work. The catalogue contains about 200 images or so when I briefly started Lightroom 5.2 for the very first time a few days ago. So whats the problem with 5.2? Do I dare upgrading again?
I am a Lightroom newbie so these first impressions are very disappointing. I have spent 4+ hours on this - I previously used Elements from V3 to V10 with absolutely no problems.
Any ideas would be welcome. Is this a bug in 5.2 or was i just unluckly with a random instal error?
Absolutely underwhelmed by the response to date. How do I get official Adobe help or does it not exist?

  • I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

    I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
    This is my job, so very important .
    Thanks

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.

  • Windows 7 says new firefox 4.0.1. is corrupt and wont open or run

    I have Windows 7 on my laptop. I had to 'restore' after an intel update wouldn't allow an old exe game to play. I had updated firefox and explorer meanwhile even though I never use Explorer. When I restored firefox wouldn't open at all. When I tried to download new firefox, windows said file corrupt and wouldn't open when open anyway was selected. I now have loaded old firefox from thumb drive and downloaded update to 4.0.1 but Windows still says file corrupt and wont open.

    i recently updated my OS to Mint 11 64-bit, which has FireFox 4.0.1, was plagued with annoying crashes for no apparent reason.
    today i seem to have discovered the problem, i hope.
    through the software manager i installed flashplugin-installer, after that i opened the browser, went to the add-ons section, disabled the Shockwave Flash 10.3 - d162, restart.
    hasn't crashed since, crossing my fingers

    Delete the corrupted file from your machine and see if the App Store will let you download a fresh one.

  • Ipod corrupted and wont be recognized in itunes

    My itunes library didn't work for about 3 weeks and when it finally did, my ipod wouldn't connect to my computer. I tried using 4 different usb wires and none of them worked. It would say do not disconnect on my ipod for a minute and then go to the main menu. itunes tells me its corrupted and i need to restore it but it wont connect so i cant. I did drop it at the gym, would this cause it to not work? please help. -thanks

    I had a similar problem. Do not restore unless you are so frustrated. You will lose your data.
    I went to an Apple Store. The sales person recommended that I hold the center button and the play/pause button for 2 minutes. He called this a reboot or something. Maybe that will work for you. I tried it but the iPod continued to say Do Not Disconnect.
    When my iPod says Do Not Disconnect, I would (power down) turn off my computer, then disconnect the iPod. I let the iPod power drain. Then, I plugged the iPod into my car stereo for a small charge. After the iPod had some charge, I plugged the iPod into the computer. I had to do this a few times. My iPod is back to normal.
    Hope this helps.
    I have dropped my iPod on a few occasions.

  • Ipod classic corrupted and cannot save music..

    Suddenly I found out that my iPod Classic 5th Gen reset by itself and lost all music in it.  I thought the hard drive was corrupted and tried to restore the iPod with iTunes.  After that I mannually copied music back into iPod using iTunes.  But soon I rejected the iPod off the computer (Windows 7), it reseted back to zero with no music on it.
    I don't know what's going on.  Do any you share me some tips how to fix this thing?  It is really frustrated and hope that you can help me.
    Appreciated,
    Alann

  • Reader is stuck on one file and wont load a new file why?

    reader is stuck on one file wont load a new file why?

    Hey george,
    Could you please let me know if you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 11.0.10
    What OS version are you using?
    Have you opened the file on the web or within Reader itself?
    You might close the file, launch Reader and go to Edit> Preferences> Security(Enhanced) and uncheck 'Enable Protected Mode at startup' option.
    Let me know if this sorts your problem.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Hard drive corrupted and no recovery for new ssd

     Hey guys, recently my hard drive became corrupt and I just bought a new ssd to replace it but I do not have any recovery to install windows to it... My laptop did not came with a installation media nor product key (Toshiba Radius 15") so I don't know if I I stall a ISO of win8 will it validate automatically or what do I do as I don't have a product key for the installation?

    Your product key is embedded on the motherboard. All you need is the recovery media, You can order it from here.

  • When initially entering a website password FF ASKS "SAVE PW FOR THIS SITE?" I have now CHANGED the website PW, and cannot get FF to "forget" the old PW and then save the new one!

    I changed my GMail password the other day. I now have to type it in every time I access my mail as I cannot get Firefox (v.3.6.3) to ask me "Remember PW for this site?" (as it always AUTOMATICALLY does when FIRST entering a website password). Why does FF not automatically offer the "Save PW?" option AGAIN when one CHANGES the access PW of a site previously visited? Can one "force" a password to be remembered?

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
    Use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.

  • HT4097 iPad ios 6 software is corrupt and wont download

    My Ipad wont restore or update because it says the file is corrupt. Im tring to get ios 6 on my iPad 2. Does anyone know what I should do?

    Personally, I have done both. Several times. I have even tried talking nice to it! It always downloads the update and while it's 'processing the file' (that's what it says when it's connected to my macbook) it stops and gives me an error saying that the file is corrupted.
    I do have a backup and am restoring now, so we'll see how good it is!

  • HELP my Ipod keeps on saying it's corrupt and wont restore

    My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button. It say's it's corrupt. I think it might of died because i've had it for one year and a couple of months. If it has, what can I do with it?

    "My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button"
    That's not how you restore an iPod, that's the procedure for resetting. Have a look at this page for instructions on restoring: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • TS1424 it says my song is corrupt and wont load can i get my money back or a new version of the song?

    I just want to know how to fix the corrupt song

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Elements 8 has now corrupted and wont open in edit

    organiser opens, but not edit - is it because adobe want us to upgrade to 11? this is the only thing that does open!!

    Please launch Editor keeping Ctrl+Alt+Shift key pressed and delete the preference settings file for which it prompts.
    This might fix the issue.
    Which OS you have? Do you have PSE11 trial to installed on the same machine?
    When did the issue started to appear?
    Thanks
