Lightroom 5 suddenly displaying 2 images, overlaid on each other

I've been happily using LR5 but last night as I'm working my through a through bunch of images, editing etc..I would Forward Arrow> to the next image and the display shows me 2 images overlaid..usually the one adjacent to the one I selected with the Arrow Key.
It doesn't stop..rebooted, repaired permissions all the usual stuff..still doing it and it's shutting down my work..
Anyone know what's going on here? Can't find much about it on the web. I am in Lightroom 5.0 on Macbook Pro 2.9Ghz i7 with 8gigs of RAM, running Mavericks 10.9.5 .
Thanks!

First, update to Lightroom 5.7.1.
If that doesn't work than delete your Preferences file.

Why has Lightroom 4 stopped displaying my images?

I was scrolling through my image libary in thumbnail mode - quite fast as I was looking for certain groups of images to keyword them. I had been doing this for some time and then suddenly it just stopped displaying the images - the thumbnails were just empty. I thought they would render after a few seconds but they didn't. I then scrolled back up and none of the images were being displayed. Lightroom would then not close properly so I had to force quit. Computer wouldn't shut down properly either - I assume Lightroom was still doing something in the background. When I restarted the computer and opened Lightroom the same problem was the same - no images at all being displayed. Everything seems fine on the hard drive when I look outside of Lightroom so the images are there, and all the folders are still in place in the Lightroom catalogue - just not displaying images. Any ideas?

Re-installing LR very rarely changes anything...
Did you install some other software recently?
Is your preferences file ok? ...just thinking of one *of the usual suspects*... [on Win7 C:\Users\<youruser>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs] ... you can rename the existing one and let LR recreate a new one.
Recreating as suggested above would not mean your total catalog, but all your previews - if we suspect the previews folder of corruption.
Speaking of usual suspects: try the last backups of your catalog, if they show the same behaviour? ...to rule out some corruption of your working catalog...
You optimize your catalog regularly, e.g. before creating the backup? If not, you could also try that.
If none of your catalogs works, then create a fresh test catalog and import a few images and render their previews, to see if it is actually your LR installation with the problem.
Did you try LR4.3RC already? This might make more sense than re-installing an older version.
Good luck, Cornelia

Some pages open with images over lapping each other

Certain pages have words or images that overlap each other

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.<br>Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

Image objects following each other--the easy way?

I have a series of images that scroll up the screen. There are 35 or so of them and they follow each other like a filmstrip. I have been creating one layer and copying one motion path for each, staggering them in the timeline. This works great, but it's a drag if I decide to change the timing. I then have to go to each one and move it individually.
Is there an easier way?

well if your images are a fixed size, it should be too hard to work out the offset for each. But you can move the parent group around as you arrange your images, and then move it back to its start position when you're ready to roll (pun intended).
I liked specialcases solution though, seems tricky to set up if you're unfamilar with the replicator but powerful. And once set up it woul dbe easy to replace the images at any later stage.

Help producing text and image next to each other in output.

Hi,
I've been trying to produce a PDF and HTML version of a Highlights for Users section using FM and RH in TCS3. All of our documentation is produced in Framemaker and RH is used to produce the WebHelp output. What I would like to have is text left-justified next to an image, separated by a company-coloured line for each highlight, then same again for each highlight.
I have tried importing images into FM which are right-justified and run into paragraph, and I could probably fiddle this just for the PDF using carriage returns but I cannot get a decent RH WebHelp output.
I/m completely inexperienced in trying to produce fancier type of output and until now have only ever had to import screenshots with figure caption with text before and after. If the above is badly explained this is what I would like to see in both PDF and WedHelp
Main Heading
What a fantastic               Image
feature we've                    Same Image
produced                         Same image
What another                   Image2
great feature                    Same Image2
we've produced               Same image2
Any help much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Jeff,
I'll try that. Would I then have to have an image restricted to the size of the Table? At the moment I restrict
the image size in PDF to the width of the page, but allow full-size images in the WebHelp output. I like this
scenario as I think that more people use the html, but from user surveys PDFs are needed for printing out.
Many thanks for your help.
Best wishes,
Karen

IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?
Regards,
Luis

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

I need a flash project that has two video's overlaid on each other with masks on each at 50%

I'm pretty new to Flash and need to have two video's layered on top of each other with masks that mask off 50% of each side so I have a Side-By-
Side comparison of the two video streams. I have encoded two videos with different settings and want to show a side-by-side comparison. Does anyone have a sample project or code that does this? I need a kick start.
Thanks in advance.

Lightroom does not display image

I have Lightroom5.7 on Sony laptop with windows 8.1. Just had some kind "Intel Update", now Lightroom ceased to display any image. Incompatible issue?

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

Mail not displaying embedded images

A few weeks ago, Mail suddenly stopped displaying embedded images in email messages - newsletters, product announcements, etc. The Viewing Preference is still set for "Display remote images in HTML messages," yet all I see are place holders. In my Junk folder, if I click on Load Images in the Junk banner, it refuses to load those images. They simply remain as place holders.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Suggestions?

Does this only happen when using your GMail account? Do you have any other accounts set up on your BlackBerry smartphone to test with? Also, to confirm, are the messages still in your GMail account inbox on your computer?

Sudden Display issues in Firefox from Dreamweaver-built pages

Hi, first time posting and a novice at Dreamweaver and web design so please bare with me.
I'm an IT administrator for a small charity company and they decided to ask me to build them a website, I bought Dreamweaver in University and had a small try with it but never really used it since.
Now I'm no web designer but I'm trying the best I can, I managed to make a few preliminary pages for use and found they displayed correctly in most browsers apart from IE and Opera.
But Suddenly today - after no editing or alterations since friday (and it displayed fine yesterday on tuesday), it started experiencing the same issues in Firefox this morning for no apparent reason. I assumed that it would be a problem with Firefox but when trying to sign up to Firefox help I meet an "Access Denied" page after clicking to sign up. Now I know there's no point in searching their forums for that issue because of course, how can someone complain they have the problem when the fact they can't get on the forums to post is what's preventing the post in the first place?
I googled both of those issues and turned up nothing, which led me here.
The "Access Denied" at signup issue is obviously not what I'm seeking for here though, but would like to know if anyone else has experienced the issue with the formatting suddenly displaying incorrectly in browsers when they worked fine before?
Like I said, I'm a complete novice at web design and dreamweaver so feel free to tell me the coding in the website is pants, I know it is but it does (did!) the job in most browsers.
Any help at all would be appreciated.

My advice, although negative, would be to stay clear unless you are confident and capable of using html and css. Dreamweaver won't do the job for you and you will be biting off more than you can chew.
Having said that I've made the necessary changes so that your page will work in all browers. Just copy the whole html code and css below, paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site root folder.
Do not mix measurements i.e., width 43em, padding 15px etc. I would advise staying with px based measurements as measurements are critical to if the site works or not. I don't know what 43em + 15px makes but I do know what 170px + 15px makes. I have changed the width of the containers in your code to px.

Lightroom Responsiveness When Working on Images

I have loaded around 200 images into Lightroom and have instructed Lightroom to render standard (1600 DPI) and 1:1 previews. My computer is a Windows XP Athlon dual-core machine with 2 GB of Ram. The operating system is on a 10K Raptor drive with the Swap file, My Documents folder and Lightroom database on a second 7K Sata drive. Both drives are less than 50% full and have been recently defragmented.
When I have the Develop Module open and select an image on the filmstrip it takes between 4 and 5 seconds before the Develop controls become active. During this time, the message "Loading..." appears superimposed over the image. Once the "Loading" message goes away, I can access the controls but the image the Develop controls aren't very responsive. When I move a slider, the image goes out of focus and then snaps back into focus once I stop moving the slider. The time lag for the image to come back into focus seems to be around 1 second after the time that I stop moving the slider.
When I'm in the Library module and when I select an image image on the filmstrip, I will occasionally see a 1 - 2 second delay and will get the message "Working..." But this is livable but the 4 - 5 second lag each time that I select an image while in the Develop Module, along with the time for the image to respond to a slider move, makes the Develop Module very hard to use on my system.
I have read many of the posts in this forum and have found many concerns about the time to ingest images but I haven't found much that seems to correlate with the problem that I am experiencing. Therefore, I decided to submit this post and to ask for help.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave Mayfield

Don,
I've done some more testing and I don't see much of any variation in the time that the Develop module displays the "loading..." message when a new file is selected on the filmstrip. I find that the time is between 4 and 5 seconds for any file that I have in my test database. The shots that I have are all raw files from a Canon 20D. The images range from very high in detail content to shots of just a gray card that fills the entire frame.
Next, I wanted to see how much of my system ram was being used by Lightroom to see if the 2Gb of ram was adversely affecting the file access time. I loaded a tool that flushes everything that it can out of ram to have a fixed starting point. On my system with 2GB of ram, my available ram prior to loading Lightroom was 1.634 GB. When Lightroom had loaded, the available ram dropped to 1.442GB and didn't vary much as I accessed over 20 images with the Develop module. I continue to access images in both the Develop and Library modules but didn't see much change in the amount of available ram. Thus, it doesn't seem, given the small test database (~200 image), that ram is the limiting factor on my system.
Then, I loaded a tool to take a look at processor utilization and found that the total load on both cores ramped up to nearly 100% and stayed there until the "loading..." message went away.
Next, I loaded a disk activity monitor and determined that the drive where my Lightroom database is stored is accessed for approximately 1.4 seconds of the 5 seconds that the "Loading..." message is displayed.
With this information, I took a closer look at processor utilization on my system, it looks like the load on both cores ramps up to about 50% as the disk is accesses and then ramps up to nearly 100% for the remaining time that "loading..." is displayed.
This leads me to believe that most of the access time in the Develop module is related to the amount of processing that Lightroom has to do to show a "developed" onscreen image once the raw file has been read from disk. Hopefully, the Lightroom engineers are working on this as we speak. I wouldn't be at all surprised since this is only release 1.0 software that this processing time will be able to be reduced.
Finally, since I have Norton Internet Security 2007 loaded on my computer, I completely disabled all of the various scanners within the software package and repeated several of the above listed tests. Happily, I didn't find any significant contributions to the access delays coming from any of the NIS tools / scanners.
So - it really seems to me that the primary contributor to the "sluggishness" of file accesses in the Develop module on my system come from the processing time needed for Lightroom do "develop" and display the image.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment suddenly stopped working

I have been using lightroom 3.4 and photoshop CS6 for sometime. However suddenly I cant move images from lightroom to photoshop (Ctrl+E) with the "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment".
When I click this option, it opens the Photoshop. But doesnt open the image. However the other two options "edit a copy" and "Edit original" works fine.
Also when i add photoshop again as another external editor, it works fine. But as you all are aware this create another copy of the image.
What I did
I checked the applications path for photoshop and it was correct.
I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled.

Hi Victoria,
I dont have 3.6. but I installed lightroom 4 and the function worked fine. But i didnt like the version 4, as it consumes a lot of resources.
I can open raw files without any problem.
And this function had been working before and suddenly this stopped working. I didnt do any setttings changes even.
Really appreciate your help on this.

Suddenly, display of previews has become erratic. Why?

Lightroom has stopped displaying preview in the Library module. In develope, it will display a selected image, and show a few on the film strip, but then they dissapear (gray out).
I have some deadlines I am in trouble on, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not recent but more in the LR2 and LR3 timeframe. I haven't seen any
indication that anything fundamentally changed with how LR deals with
monitor profiles so I did not assume anything would be different now and my
guess is that these things still trip up Lightroom. My guess is that forum
searches would dredge them up. I remember helping solve lots and lots of
issues like this by having people recalibrate their monitor or delete their
vendor supplied profile. Often these problems were triggered by a software
update that installs a monitor profile. If I remember correctly almost all
of these problems involved Dell monitors but I do remember a few Samsungs
too.
