Lightroom Help Causes App to Lock-Up

I am a new user of Lightroom and have loaded it on a Windows 7 64bit Home Edition laptop.  Whenever I click on "Lightroom Help" or "Lightroom Module Help" in the Help menu, the application locks up.  I get the same results with version 3.3 (which I downloaded) and version 3.2 (which is what was in the package I bought).  The application loads Lightroom 64bit by default, but I also loaded the 32bit version to see if it would work there as well.  No combination I try seems to make a difference.  Being that I am a brand new user of Lightroom, not having help available is a big deal to me - and I am not always connected to the internet whenever I am using the app so online help isn't a suitable substitute either.  Additionally, I am concerned that there is something else lurking in the background that is going to cause the app to lock-up that I just haven't discovered yet.
In the System Event Log, I only see this message accompanied by a 1002 Event code:
The program lightroom.exe version 3.3.0.10 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 2624
Start Time: 01cba51b6454aa65
Termination Time: 31
Application Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.3\lightroom.exe
Report Id: 5aafeb02-110f-11e0-954d-971ac3510a69
Any ideas on what to do to correct this?

    Hey, I've got an iphone from a friend cause it was locked to O2 and she was moving to Spain for 5 years.... How do I change the Apple ID? Appreciate any help! :))
    Thankss

    Thank you for responding to my question so promptly!  My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address.  Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
    When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
    The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account.  Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
    The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too.  Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
    Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
    Thank you for your help
    Cheers

  • I want to purchase Adobe Lightroom from the App Store but cant find the exact match.  Please help! Thanks

    I want to download Lightroom from the App Store but I can't find the exact match (I think its $149 Aus dollars).  There seems to be many other items related to Lightroom but not the one I need.
    This is the first time I'm purchasing online so I am wondering if I need to enter my credit card details to see the full range of software available?
    Your assistance would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    No, you can view items to purchase even if you have nothing on your account at all.
    You may wish to check with the developer forums for clarificaion on finding exactly what you want.

  • Does dropping bitmap index and creation of b- index cause any dead locks

    Does dropping a bitmap index on table which is being used continuously for DML operations and creation of b- index cause any dead locks on a table
    in oracle 10g database
    ( 10.1.0.4.0 - 64bi).
    we have seen alert log file which has dead lock occurrence.. would index change/re-creation resulted dead lock or some other reason?
    Could you please give us info or help us on this.. thanks in advance..

    Bitmap indexes can be the cause of deadlocks on busy systems.
    Dropping indexes may cause some locking.
    Creating indexes may cause some locking.
    You haven't given any traces or scripts or lock information, so difficult to say which one (if any) was the cause of your deadlocks.
    It would be better to do this activity when the system is not busy.

  • Second page of downloaded apps is locked.  How do I get it unlocked?

    New ipad user...For some reason our second page with some downloaded apps is locked up.  Can't open any of them the apps.  First screen is all accessible.  Can't figure out why or how to fix.

    Then try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    or
    You could also try quitting open apps to see if that helps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar, hold down on any app icon until the icons begin to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the corner of the icons to close the apps. If you have a bunch of apps in the task bar, close them all. Then tap the screen (outside of the task bar) to close the task bar. Restart the iPad as described above.
    or
    Are these Apps restricted perhaps? Do you have restrictions set on your iPad? I don't use restrictions so I don't know that much about how it affects apps. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>On ...? If you can restrict those apps maybe that is why they will not open. Turn restrictions off.

  • Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

    I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

    This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
    If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
    By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

    Hi,
    I would like to know if the backup program has been uninstalled?
    I suggest updating your graphic card driver from manufacturer's site and scanning the computer with your security software. Also test the issue in
    Clean Boot. If possible, try to reinstall problematic games.
    Best Regards,
    Niki

    Try checking the Parental Controls-if they are enabled, the price will be shown at the top but it will be grey instead of blue, and won't be able to be selected. (Settings>General>Restrictions)

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.

  • I need an app to lock my messages and folders for free

    i need an app to lock my text messge with passcode and other apps\ folders to lock with an password..
    i need to know how to activate delivery reports for sent text messages, spam folder s also needed.. even in a basic mobil its present .. so plzzzzz help.
    then only i can recommend others to buy iphone

    Well, Brinda, currently there is no way to lock your messages or folders except by using a basic passcode lock on the phone itself.
    For dilevery reports, you need at least iOS 5 and go to settings > messages. It is only possible to get these reports for messages sent to other i-devices.
    As far as a spam folder, could you elaborate?

  • How do I fix the "shockwave flash" error, causing firefox to lock up, slow, or crash?

    continous errors about "shockwave flash", "script has stopped working" etc, causing numerous slowdowns, lock-ups, and crashes. have tried several fixes, but none have worked.....please advise

    Is it a permissions problem? Here's another way.
    (1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    ''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
    (2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
    (A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
    (B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
    (3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad. Add this on its own line (I put it last):
    ProtectedMode=0
    Save the file and close Notepad.
    (4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
    This change should take effect the next time you restart Firefox.
    Hopefully that works around the permission issue.

  • IPhone iOS 8: Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash

    Issue (?ios 8 bug?): Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash. Present in ios 8.0, and also still in ios 8.0.2. iPhone 6+ 64GB.
    I just wondered if anyone else has been having this problem.
    Initially it worked great. Tapping the photo button next to the text box in message should bring up a menu with your latest photos and other sharing options. However, after the first couple of days, tapping the button brought up the menu, the phone freezes, and then after a few seconds the photo app crashes.
    Deleting most of my photos restored the function, but after another couple of days (and some more photos) it started happening again so I think perhaps it is related to the number of photos. After about 5-10 photos it loads the menu very slowly and its quite buggy. After 20+ photos it wont load the menu at all without freezing and the app crashing.
    My iphone 6+ was set up as a new phone (not restored from back-up).
    I hope this is some kind of bug that will be fixed in ios 8.0.3, but wondered if anyone else has the same problem or has any solutions?
    My workaround at the moment is just to go the photos app and either copy and paste the photo into a message, or share the photo via the photos app.

    I have this same issue with my 128 gb 6 plus.  I've tried restoring as new on a few occasions, but to no avail.  I did notice while my pc was synchronizing my apps, that the feature worked fine a few times until the synchronization was complete.  I seriously hope that the numbers of photos limits one's use of the feature, because i purchased the 128 gb 6 plus so that i could keep photos at my ready.
    Has anyone heard of a solution yet?

  • Looking for an App to Lock the Screen while Playing a Movie

    I've been looking for either an app to lock the screen (not turn the screen off like the button on top of the phone) while playing a movie or a media player that will prohibit you from pressing buttons while a movie is playing. The reason I'm looking for this is my son likes to watch movies on my iPhone while we're in the grocery store, but I spend more time restarting the movie or navigating back to the iPod app and restarting the movie than he spends watching it! He likes to press the "done" button or home button which ends the movie. So an app that would prohibit that would be GREAT, but I haven't been able to find one so far. Any suggestions?

    An app will not be able to do this.
    Sorry.
