Lightroom encountered an error and needs to quit.

Lightroom encountered an error and needs to quit.
There was a problem reading one of the Lightroom catalogs.
The last time Lightroom ran, it shut down prematurely due to a problem reading the catalog. Lightroom must now check the catalog before proceeding.
This is what is showing up on my screen whenever i try to use my lightroom it started out of the blue and i need to access my photos for work etc...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem????

Try holding down the option/alt key when starting Lr, can you create a new catalog??
Provide more details such as your OS, etc...

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" -Gapless Playback

I've had this problem for a while now and I'm just plain sick of it!
Every time I start up iTunes it does the "Determining Gapless Playback" thing, but when it gets to certain songs it freezes up and I get an error message that says:
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
This happenes to a lot of songs (a few dozen)and the only way I can actually access my library is by hitting the 'x'next to "Determining Gapless Playback" before it gets to the songs. However, now I can't even do that because it gets to the song immediately.
I need to know if I can disable the gapless playback or somehow debug this (I have reinstalled iTunes, Quicktime works, I have reloaded my library, done a system restore,and changed users/startup programs... nothing works)
PLEASE help!
I run XP if that helps.

Kar,
Check out the steps Roy B posted in this thread. They are long and a bit convoluted, but they seem to have done the trick for many others having this problem.

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" - can't open iTunes

Hi guys,
I'm a huge Apple fan so I obviously decided to upgrade to Apple 7.0.1 the day it came out... installed it. Opened it up, but within just a few seconds i got a Windows message saying
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
I reinstalled it and still have the same problem.
First few days I could atleast keep iTunes open for a few minutes before the message, but now its down to just a few seconds.
I run Windows XP if that helps any.
Please help me fix this problem or tell me how I can put iTunes 6 back on my computer --- I need my music!
Thanks

After downloading and installing 7.0.1 my iTunes would not open either. Even worse is you can't go back to v6 if you had v7 running--the database is updated.
Luckily I was able to get my iTunes to open again by doing the following:
Click Start/Run
Type in "%userprofile%\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Click Start/Run again.
Type in "%userprofile%\local settings\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Try opening your iTunes again. It may re-ask some general setup questions, but mine opened without the error, and it still had all my music. However, I did have to re-authorize my computer.
I used to never be leary about updating iTunes... guess Apple's software ain't no peach, either.
Hope this helps someone.

Excel encountered an error and need to close

Hello
We suddenly have Excel crashing with one single report among others saying 'Excel encountered an error and needs to close'.
The report run last week and we didn't change it meanwhile, nor did we change the Excel version.
Version: SAP BPC 5.1 on SQL 2005 running with Excel 2003
What we already tried:
- full process of all dimensions
- reinstall of office client
- open/save the report with another excel version (2002) outside BPC
Does anybody know this behaviour and does anybody have an idea to workaround it?
For me honestly a reinstall of Excel or to rebuild the whole report would put in question the quality of BPC in general.
Thanks and kind regards.

You could probably try re-house the report into a new excel workbook.
Literally copy across the sheet contents and see if that fixes it.
This technique works sometimes where excel reports/templates can get corrupted...

CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close

We frequently get the "CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close" while trying to launch CTIOS desktop( CTI out of box). This usually gets fixed when we reinstall the application. But this issue is so frequent that i am wondering what the root cause may be and fix for that, instead of reinstalling the app every time this issue occurs.Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response Geoff , Unfortunately the desktop does not write anything in the client log files when it shows this error. I assumed that this has something to do with the corruption of DLL files. I am not sure how to trace back to the roots.I have seen many posts in this forum who faced the same problem, so thought some one would have found some alternative solution than reinstalling the application.
Thanks for your help.

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close

Hi,
I hv installed SAP ECC6.0 SR3 on WIndows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition. Many times i get an popup message on Windows Server "Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close"
I hv checked the Event Viewer, in Event Viewer it shows the application error.
Consequences of this error is that my Transport path //hostname/sapmnt/trans becomes inaccesible, and I have to take the restart of Windows server to solve the problem. ONce Windows server is restarted for some time transports work, Again when receiving the same error popup on Windows, Transport path goes down.
Can anyone give input on this???

Hello,
You have posted a question that is related to system transports. Unfortunately this category is not related to these kind of questions. SAP TM deals with logistics in the real world - moving pallets, containers, loading trucks, etc.

A blast from the past- "encountered an error and needs to close"

hey guys and gals, i really need help. i've been trying to fix my iTunes software for months now. Without further ado, here's what happened:
installed itunes
deleted quicktime accidently
installed quicktime
installed itunes
itunes still doesn't work
installed and reinstalled multiple times from both the c.d. and itunes.com
Therefore, when i attempt to open my itunes program, the dialoge box stating, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report, dont send."
the details of the error report are:
"information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your digital product id, which could be used to identify your license; and internet protocol(ip) address of your computer.
we do not intentionally collect your files, name, address, email address or any other form of personally identifiable information. however, the error report could contain coustomer- specific information such as data from open files. while this information could potentially be used to determine your idenity, if present, it will not be used. the data that we collected will only be used to fix the problem. if more information is available, we will tell you when you report the problem. this error report will be sent using a secure connection to a database with limited access and will not be used for marketing purposes."
for the love of god, help me. i really wanna get my itunes working.(i have no antivirus software, such as mcaffee or norton, etc)
i really appreciate it

hi july10!
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
hmmm. okay, the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch, or does it give you an error message?
if it gives you an error message, let's first try the following technique. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the uninstalls and repair installs.
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted on your progress.

I am trying to get my son's new ipod nano ready for music, I have downloaded itunes, but it will not open. When I click on the icon, a message that says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" It asks if I want to send an error report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled (twice) I do not have Norton or any other anti-virus, apparantly. I have restarted a couple of times. I have ready MANY threads on similar issues, tried most with no luck. any suggestions, son is bgetting anxious-all he has done is look at his new ipod for 2 days!

This error could be caused by a number of things. Try it one more time, and if the error comes up write down what kind of error it is (ie. Symantec, Runtime,). Then do a google search for that. You may be able to find a solution elsewhere.

Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime
(Compiled from the collective wisdom of toonz and Da Gopha)
If you want to guarantee a successful upgrade and be proactive about minimizing potential install issues, do the following:
1. Completely Backup your music and iTunes library files.
2. Virus check / spyware scan your machine.
3. Completely remove / uninstall the current version of iTunes and QuickTime from your system.....
3a. - Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
3b. - Do a Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
3c. - Then download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
.....And make sure iTunes is really gone.
4. Delete the contents of your temp folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
5. Reboot the PC
6. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
7. Start with the QuickTime standalone installer run from the PC (not directly from on-line)
8. Reboot the PC
9. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
10. First completely download, then run the latest iTunes Installer from your PC
11. Reboot the PC
The majority of problems out there on the discussion boards are caused by viruses or other system corruption — sometimes self-inflicted by the user (i.e. - people who turn off necessary Windows services) — or out of date drivers. You may want to consider this if your PC falls into one of these categories.

Since the iTunes update to 10.6 everytime I open iTunes there is an error message that says that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to shut down. Is there a way to fix this or go back to an older version of iTunes?

Ever since the update, when I load iTunes it encounters an error and force closes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything Apple twice and that hasn't fixed the issue. Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes?

Pproheadless.exe has encountered an error and needs to close

System Details
Windows XP 32 Bit OS
HPxw4600 Workstation
Intel 2 Core Duo , 3.00 GHZ processor
4 GB Ram
Premier Pro CS4 4.1.0
All Updates Installed, English Version
218 GB HD, 37.8 GB Free, NTFS File System
When trying to encode large (15 min & Larger) timelines in AME, i receive the error pproheadless.exe has encountered and error needs to close.
The result being I cannot encode the file - I have tried this with 3 separate Premier Pro projects, with the same result. Smaller timelines, under 15 min, dont seem to be affected. Initially, we had only 2 GB of RAm, and upgraded to 4 GB of Ram, but that did not help the situtation.
I have seen many posts on here about this issue, but didnt seem to see anything definitive.
Advice?

I am not running cs5 yet - still cs4. I'll wait this time for others to work out the bugs. Let me clarify, on my desktop - windows XP, 32 bit, I have 3 internal hard drives. I usually have the project on my "media" drive (drive 2) and then export out to my "export" drive (drive 3). My os is on my C drive. My laptop - hp dv7 has one large hard drive. I usually have the project on the c drive in documents and use an external hard drive as the scratch disc (for all the assests). Are these configurations "kosher"?
Thanks,
Lisa
P.S. I could not find the CS4 forum - I looked again, I found the forum for CS4, sorry.

ITunes has encountered an error and needs to close XP SP3

Hello everyone,
I know you might have discussed this before, but I could not get the right discussion about it. So yesterday, my windows decided to go from XP SP2 to SP3. Internet Explorer got installed and now everytime I try to open iTunes I get the same error. When I check the task manager, I can see iTuneshelper.exe working. Does anybody know how to fix this?. I think Katrina posted something about DEF and give permission to iTunes to run, is that right?
Looking forward to hear from you,

I used RegCleaner and found a lot of bad entries in my registry. Cleaned it, erased any folder for iTunes or Quicktime and rebooted. Installed iTunes+Quicktime again and it worked. Lost everything though. In case somebody might need this information
