Lightroom can't read my catalog since I put some pictures on iCloud

I recently activated iCloud on my PC so I could share some PC-stored photos on my iPad.  Ever since then Lightroom can't access my catalog.  I didn't touch the catalog - it's still on my PC hard drive - so I can't understand why my putting some pictures on iCloud would make  my entire Lightroom catalog inaccessible.  when I try to select the catalog manually, I get a message that the library is on a network drive, which it isn't.  I'm thinking that iCloud has to be the culprit.  I'm running Windows 7, if that helps.  Any suggestions? 

Was the "library is on a network drive" the complete message, or was there more? If you know where your catalog is, go open the folder that contains it using Explorer, and check for the presence of a file ending in "lrcat.lock". If there is one there, you can safely delete it (making 100% certain you delete ONLY the file with the .lock extension), then Lightroom should be able to open the catalog OK.

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

    You are not addressing Apple here.  These are user to user support forums.
    Contact your local Apple store to inquire if they offer a trade-in program.  Keep in mind you will get significantly more by selling the device yourself.

  • Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud.  Should there be an icon there?  Do I need to install another icon?

    Can't find my camera roll (only photo stream) pictures in iCloud.  Should there be an icon there?  Do I need to install another icon?

    I'm not totally sure I understand what you are asking or expecting to see.
    You will only find your Photo Stream photos in iCloud, not the camera roll photos. What I mean is that any older photos that you have in the camera roll will not appear in the photo stream. Only photos that you have taken with the iPad, after you turned photo stream on, appear in the photo stream.
    You can create a shared photo stream album with older camera roll photos, but the camera roll itself is not in iCloud.com.
    Where are you looking in iCloud to see these photos?

  • Can i use tracking.vi with as source some pictures i made?

    I want to track patterns in a sequence of pictures or a video file. I found tracking.vi and i like to test it, but i don't know what i should do to run it. It seems i need to connect the picture/video sequence to the interface. how can you do that?

    It sounds like you need the Vision 7 Development Module for LabVIEW. This software module includes all of the VIs needed for image analysis and machine vision. With version 7, you can now read and analyze AVI video files.
    Let me know if you have more specific questions. Otherwise, call NI for more info on the Vision Module for LabVIEW 7 Express, 1-800-IEEE-488. (800-433-3488)

    You don't take the pictures off the PC you leave them there and tell iTunes that you don't want them on the iPad (by unchecking them) and then sync. That will delete the pictures from the iPad.

    I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
    Is there any deal like this?

    Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
    Good luck,

  • Lightroom Can't Read (jpg) Files

    Why can't my Lightroom read my (jpeg) files now that I have reloaded it onto a new imac hard drive?

    If the error message actually says "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read" then you're in the Import dialog, and you don't want to import the same files back into LR just to move to a new hard drive.  In that case we need to find your previous catalog and open it, rather than starting afresh.
    If you're in the Library module, I need to know exactly what you're looking at.  A screenshot would be ideal.

  • Aperture can't read RAW files since update???

    So I went to import the pictures from the holidays into Aperture yesterday and it wouldn't read the raw files. Aperture just keeps saying it's generating thumbnails. I shut it down, got on a plane and tried again today, same problem and even the photos previously imported and were fine aren't showing up properly. It just says "unsupported image format."
    My last import was the last week of Novemeber.
    Is anyone else having this problem since the 2.1.4 update??

    I encountered a similar problem - see thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2274871&tstart=0
    Did you also do the latest MAc Os update - with the additional DIGITAL RAW compatibility update 2.7?
    I did the APerture update a while ago and everything was working fine - it is only after I did the latest OS update that I encountered the same issue.

  • Itunes can't read korean characters since switching to google chrome

    I switched to google chrome and for some reason every song with Korean hangul characters on my itunes turns into square boxes. I have songs with Japanese kanji on my itunes but I see them perfectly, it's only Korean characters.
    This happened before but I switched back to firefox (which solved the problem). I really don't wanna go back to firefox though...is there any way to fix this?

    Eduardo Kim hello,
    If you select the iTunes Icon in your applications folder and get info you will see the Languages tab check and see what is available... to get the correct Korean version as there is more than one start system preferences and choose international > languages... use the help files to find what you need to know by clicking on the Question mark...
    Take care Eduardo ... TP

  • Lightroom 5.5 is not cataloging all images in some folders

    Version:
    Lightroom 5.5 CC 2014
    System:
    Windows Pro 8.1 R2 64 bit
    When I last updated my catalog in Lightroom, I discovered that in at least two folders, Lightroom did not catalog all of the images in the actual folder on my computer. Because of the number of images I have on disk, I don't know how prevalent this problem. I found two folders where only one image was cataloged. One folder had 12 images, the other had over 200 images.
    All of the photos are the same format, both the single cataloged image and the uncatalogued images. The are Pentax RAW format (PEF). As far as I can tell, PEF images are cataloged fine in folders I've checked.
    Solutions tried:
    Reimporting the entire photo collection to capture "new" images. The missing images display in Windows Explorer and in the Lightroom Import window. However, the images say "This appears to be a duplicate of another image," which is not the case. If I right click, the "Import This" option is grayed out, as are the images themselves.
    I've tried syncing the folder.
    I actually deleted my catalog and re-created a new catalog in a different folder with a different name. This time, the missing images in one of the folders imported, but not the other.
    What's the work-around to force an image import?

    Download the Lr 5.2RC from Adobelabs. There was a bug in exporting which is fixed in this release candidate.

    Recently I upgraded to Lightroom 5.0. I have been noticing that when I export images at 1000px max and 100% quality, the image is very grainy. I can open that same image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom, resize the image to 1000px max, and save, and the image looks great. Below is an example. The first photo is the Lightroom 5.0 export. The second is the Photoshop CC resize and save. Does anyone know what the problem is? I never had this issue with any earlier version of Lightroom and I have been using it since version 1.0.
