Lightroom files still found by backup program after uninstall

I uninstalled Lightroom, because it was too slow on my computer. It put a lot of library files and directories in My pictures folder.
When I use a backup program (SyncbackSE) to backup my pictures, it starts to scan all the Lightroom library files and it takes forever (hours and counting). Even though Windows cannot find the directories (with hidden and system files shown).
I want to completely delete the Lightroom directories, because now I can't backup my images anymore. It is a pain in the dark places.
Any suggestions?

Lightroom does not delete data files (catalog, previews and other items) on uninstall. You would have to delete these things by hand.
I am not familiar with your backup program, but can't you simply tell it not to back up those directories you don't want?

Is there a way to point my files back to CC 2014 programs after uninstalling the old CC?

I just installed CC 2014 and I'm currently removing the old CC programs (had no idea 2014 was coming out and now I have no room on my computer for both). My question is, how do I keep Windows 7 associating various files (.ai, .psd, etc) with the right program/icon set? Removing CC removes the file associations, it seems. Is there a way to point those files back to CC 2014 programs?

No, that doesn't work. The files have always opened using InDesign, but they don't have the .indd icon. I've thrown my hands up in frustration over this one. I have literally tried every trick posted around these forums, and I've looked for hours for a solution. It doesn't look like a fix is coming and Adobe doesn't really care that we can't tell our .ai files apart from our .indd files.

How do I get my files from apple's "Backup" program onto my computer?it

I just upgraded to the new operating system on my Macbook Pro. I had Tiger on it, and things kept getting messed up. The people at the Apple store recommended doing an "erase and install" so that it clears out all of the old program info. Prior to doing this I used Apple's "Backup" program that used to come with .Mac account to backup my information to my external hard drive. Now that I have the new OS installed I want to use the backup that I created right before I erased my hard drive to restore things back to the computer (Iphoto library, Itunes, files, Mail settings, etc.) I went to the backups folder and all I see is a bunch of folders. Isnt there supposed to be some way to put them all in their original locations? I need to get my Mail settings and bookmarks back from my Safari settings. I am really new to all of this, and thought I did things the correct way... but I am getting extremely frustrated since it does not seem to be as "easy" as the employee at the store made it out to be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, you will need the Backup program along with the backups you created. Time Machine and Backup are not the same.
You can re-download Backup from your iDisk where you got it originally. It isn't available elsewhere.
See Mac OS X 10.5- When to use Time Machine or .Mac Backup to back up data.

Will my files still be on my computer after I install SL?

I was just wandering if all of my saved files (videos, music, documents) will still be on my hard drive after I install Snow Leopard. Or do I have to save them to an external hard drive and transfer them back to my computer.

Better than just backing up data files, get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall anything. See these for details:

Can't reinstall CC program after uninstall (in this case, Bridge)

I uninstalled Bridge CC on the advice of an Adobe chat tech support person. (I have a screen shot of the chat.)
Now I can't reinstall Bridge CC. The Adobe Application Manager says it's installed and does not offer an option to reinstall. Grrr.
Other than wishing for a boxed set where I have complete control, what can I do?
~ Jane

Hi Jeff,
After 3-4 days, the other apps had an update. After the update, suddenly I could install Bridge CC. Go figure. But it's working now.
Uninstall and reinstall are not obvious or easy with Creative Cloud, and I was wishing for the box version where I had control over things like this unstead of spending hours doing Google searches and chatting with tech support. I hadn't activated the software or even launched it before uninstalling.
As I said, it's working now. But this needs to be an easier process!

"file not found" for most recordings on GB

Hello,
I've used GB to record podcasts over the past few months and each time something very troubling eventually happens: I open the file several weeks later and am told that the track onto which I recorded cannot be found.
I tend to save my GB files on an external harddrive but given that I am new to the software, I haven't paid a lot of attention to where the program might save the media.
The files that are missing are usually .aif files. I have done several searches in to try and find the missing files but with no luck. The GB files themselves are saved in the automatic My Garageband Files folder.
I don't understand why the "file not found" issue only arises after a few weeks or months of not touching Garage Band. Any idea of how I can find these tracks? Or are they lost forever?
Any help would be so appreciated.

I'm a little confused by your question. You say you are saving GB files on an external drive, yet the GB files themselves are in your My GB Files folder. In any case, here are some things you can try:
Moving forward, when you save to an external drive, select Save As and choose "Archive Project." That should keep all audio files with the project and may solve everything.
If there is a GB file on your internal drive, double click on that and see if everything is fine (in other words, this assumes the same file is on your internal drive complete, and on an external drive incomplete).
If there is a GB file on your internal drive, or anywhere for that matter, control click on it, select Show Package Contents, and look in the media folder. All your audio files should be in there (and therefore recoverable).
If you are still having problems, try recording, saving, and working with your projects on your internal drive (and backing them up to an external drive in the Finder).

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help

Presuming nothing is wrong with the file(s) you try (can you open it/them in Acrobat/Reader?), you may try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Error when opening itunes : iTunes has stopped working ''A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''. When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling and redownloading and installing itunes. I have windows 8

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Using Lightroom 4 w/ Windows 7. Recently started shooting w/ Sony camera that shoots .arw files. Lightroom cannot read the files. Loaded Adobe converter program onto the computer and this program cannot read the files either. Any suggestions?

Thnx again for the reply. The version of Lightroom I have is 4.0 (working w/Windows 7) This computer and all media files are kept off-line After doing more research, I downloaded DNG Converter 7.1This loaded into a .zip folder, which I am planning to install into the off-line computer andrun. Where does this folder go?
And will this set up work with my version of Lightroom?
What a pain. Makes me wanna go back to shooting .nef files for all stills
Thnx

File not found error after restore the sitecollection

Hi,
I backed up a MOSS sitecollection using "stsadm -o backup" and then restored the same file in the other machine/server. No problems while creating backup and doing restores . But after restore is successfull and try to open the site ..it is giving me
an error "File not found".Any idea?

Hey Anikota,
That's usually caused by a Master Page url error. Open the site in SPD and then open the default.aspx page. If you see an error regarding the Master Page in the design view then go to the code view and manually correct the Maste Page URL.
I hope that helps!

Excel automatically create .tmp file when open after close Excel, tmp file still there

Anytime I save a change to one of my Excel files, the TMP file appears in the destination folder and remains. The "main" Excel file
saves the retains the changes that I made and after each subsequent change, a new TMP file is created...old TMP files are not deleted. This is only happening with Excel files.

Hi,
From your description, I understand that you want .tmp file disappear . If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
This issue can be related to many factors.
First, try to check out file->save-> Save autorecover information, if you use Excel 2010.
If the problem persists, it may be a permissions problem.
Take ownership of the related file
=============
1.      In the "Start" menu, locate "Command Prompt". Right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Mozilla/Firefox 4 will not install on my computer and I cannot uninstall any old Mozilla/Firefox programs and files still on my computer.

Firefox won't load onto my computer. I have Windows 7, and each time I try to run the program to install it, it tells me I have another version still waiting to be installed that requires my computer to reboot. When I check "yes" to reboot, my computer reboots but still no Firefox. When I try to uninstall the the old Mozilla program from my Control Panels, there is no Mozilla files or programs listed not in my list of programs but when I go directly to the Windows File on the C: Drive, there's a Mozilla program file there. WHen I go into that file check, I attempt to open the uninstall program. I get an error message that says something to the effect of: "the version Mozilla on this computer is not compatable with my OS." Something about it being and 86bit program. My Firefox 3.6 worked fine 2 days ago. What's wrong???

Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

Why are my RMAN backup files still around?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 64-bit
Good Morning (at least it's morning here at the moment),
I have a test database that I currently have set up to do an Incremental Level 0 backup every morning at about 03:00.
I also do an 'archivelog backup all' every 4 hours during the day.
My archivelog deletion policy is 'backed up 2 times'.
I have RMAN set up with a recovery window of 8 days (SHOW ALL - seen below).
I have several RMAN files dated 11 days ago.
Question: Why are these files still around?

Michael,
I read Ed's thread and I understand about the timing of the Full (Incr Lvl 0) and the incrementals.
In my case I'm not doing any incrementals (Incr Lvl 1) of the database, just Incr Lvl 0 every day. I do the archivelog backups during the day to keep the /arch mount point under control.
So, if I have Incremental Level 0 backups on the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, ..... With an 8 day recovery window I shouldn't need the ones from the 19th or 20th at a minimum and possibly the 21st depending on when the math is done. Right?
Am I missing something?
*************** NEWS FLASH ******************
Whoops!!! Egg on my face! I just checked back in my email logs of the backups and now recall there were some disk space issues around that time that caused the backups to fail and it just so happens that the backups on the 20th, 21st and 22nd all failed.
I should learn to trust RMAN more. It is obviously smarter than me!! :-)
Sorry for the red flags. I'll do my homework more completely next time.
Not a problem. We've all been there, done that.
I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck on something, run out of ideas on my own research and thrown a question to the forum, and no sooner to I hit the 'send' button that a light goes on and I quickly get my own answer.
At least I understand the recovery window scenario better.
Thanks very much for the help and I'll see you the next time.
Have a great day!
