Lightroom 5 will not sort scanned photo properly
Lightroom 5.2, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I have some scanned photos from a trip to England in 1996. I have assigned to each photo the date it was taken. Lightroom clearly displays the date taken. But two photos will not sort properly by date, as you can see in the screen capture; the highlighted photo was taken August 31, 1996, and sorts between photos taken Sept 2, 1996 and Sept 3, 1996.
Can anyone recommend a fix?
I think it's the act of reading the metadata from the file that usually corrects inconsistencies in the catalog.
In this case, it smells like it has to do with the LR's buggy handling of files that don't have capture time in their metadata:

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name -
IPhoto will not import scanned photos
I recently upgraded to iPhoto 09 on my iMac. I am using a Cannon scanner and scanned photos with Image Capture. Until the upgrade I had no problem placing photos into iPhoto but now when I try to import them iPhoto tells me the format is not recognized. I am saving the scanned photos as jpeg files and putting them into my pictures. When I try to put them in iPhoto the problem occurs. Anybody have any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
I just ran across an apparent glitch or bug with iPhoto '09 that will neither recognize nor import B&W photos.
No - it is documented that iPhoto only works with RGB photos - not gray scale and not CYMK - it is designed for use with point and shoot digital cameras
The solution is to scan your black and white photos in color using the sRGB color profile - they will still be B&W and will work in iPhoto

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read. SO FRUSTRATING.

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac) -
I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?
Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

My contacts will not sort properly on Macbook Pro
Greetings all,
I'm still trying to learn the Mac OS, only been on it a couple months. Here is my issue, on the Macbook, my contacts will not sort by first name.
On my iPhone and iPad, and when I log in to the iCloud and look at my contacts they are all sorted by First Name, and listed as (First Name, Last Name).
When I go to the Macbook contacts they are sorting by Last Name... I have removed the contacts from my computer, unchecked the contacts rebooted, re-activated the contacts on cloud and they still do not sort the way i want them too....
Can anybody help me please.You helped me figure it out, I fill like a putz, I did not realize that the Contacts on the Mac OS, actually had its own settings.... I thought they were all controlled by the iCloud settings....
I'm slowly but surely getting things figured out, after using Windows all my life. Thanks a million. -
One album will not sort by date
I have 5000 or so photos that I've spent weeks organizing and rating.
I set up smart albums with rules to include only specific keyword identified pictures then combed thru all the pictures asssigning keywords (e.g. Spouse, Scenery, Wildlife, People...etc).
Afterwards I rate the pictures. Following that I set up another smart album corresponding to each original and select only the 4 and 5 star rated ones. I then assign the keyword "Slideshow" to all those using batch update.
Finally I was organizing my final smart album by selecting all pictures with the keyword "Slideshow" in a single smart album.
As each collection of pictures was pulled into the slideshow album they remained sorted by date until the final one. The final group of photos went to the back of the bus. Nothing I do will make them properly merge with the rest in date sequence. If you look at the information the dates still are properly set, but they will not sort. When I looked for them in the library folder they are improperly sorted there as well.
Now here is the thing: I changed the title of each album before pulling it into the Slideshow album. I did this to assign a name and sequential number to each picture that made the final cut. On the album giving me problems I mistakenly first changed the name to the date instead of to text. I quickly realized my error and changed it back but evidently by then I had hosed things up. Even though the information still shows all the date info properly, it behaves as if the date was now the current date.
Is there any way to resolve this issue?I can sort by Title and I can sort by Date however the entries do not set themselves up chronologically, for instance this is the sort sequence after I sort by Date.

My iMac will not connect to Photo Stream, but all my other devices will. i have all updates.
My brand new, 2.7 GHz intel Core i5 will not connect to Photo stream, no matter what I do.
I try to enable it from Icloud Preferences.
I try to turn it on from Iphoto preferences.
I try to turn it on from the iphoto app, but no luck.

My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d
my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d
No. DNG is a RAW format. There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc. Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do. There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6. It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal. I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file. While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ]. Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer. It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another). I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing. You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits. But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?). -
I was in Lightroom and had a power surge and now Lightroom will not launch. It encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix the next time it launches. I have shut my system down and Lightroom still will not launch. Does anyone have any suggestions?
delete your preview cache (.lrdata folder).

If not enough info, search this forum for "delete preview cache".

HT2500 Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files)
Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files) to send. It was working just fine and after some period of non-use it just stopped accepting attachments to send. The system is all up to date. And, I have the same problem on two different Imacs.
I had exactly the same problem as arthur1234. I followed his own suggested fix in his post of 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM.
His fix worked perfectly. Attachments are now being sent and received as they have been for the last 10 years or so. -

Pre9 will not take large photo files, is 13 any better
pre9 will not take large photo files is 13 any better

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on - with version 9.0/9.01, it is a 32 bit application whether it is run on 32 or 64 bit computer. So, you will get that "too large" error message when your still total pixel count exceeds the limit.
If you go to Premiere Elements 10, 11, 12, or 13 (the current version) and you are running one of those programs on a 64 bit computer, each will be a 64 bit application and program will not throw off the "too large" error message. I have challenged these latter applications with stills 10000 x 7500, and each was imported with issue.
But, the question becomes, because you can, should you? No matter how high the resolution of the image, it will be forced into the resolution characteristic of the import. Just how much you can get away with in this regard goes to your computer resource and how many of these stills oversized for the project settings.
If you put Premiere Elements 13 on a Window 7 or 8 32 bit system, I am fairly confident that you end up with "too large" error message. That would not be the case if Premiere Elements 13 on a Windows 7 or 8 64 bit system.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help
Sorry for the second post..
I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
To do that;
1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
2. Select Show Package Content.
3. Click on the Originals Folder
4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.
