Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset. I have been using Lightroom 4 for 18  months now and this problem just started happening in the last month.

No error messages. It acts totally normal but just never reopens when I try to reopen a new catalog. I create a catalog for each of my clients....I have done this since I started using lightroom as it seems tidy to me. But, I have never had this problem until now. I am using a pc and vista and Lightroom 4. Thanks.

  • Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it?  I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

    It would be much better if you had separate drives for the pictures and Time Machine backups.....but, if you want to use the same drive for both purposes, temporarily move the folder with the pictures to another location for safe storage.
    Run the Time Machine backup on the hard drive and verify that everything is working correctly. Time Machine will format the disk for you in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as part of the backup process.
    Then move the folder with the pictures back to the hard drive with the Time Machine backups.
    When you have tested to make sure that everything is working again, then and only then should you delete the folder with pictures from the temporary storage area.
    Again....it would be much better to keep Time Machine backups on a drive just for that purpose, and other data on another drive for that purpose. This is clearly one of those times when the fact that you can do something does not mean to imply that you should do it.

  • How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in?

    How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in? This application must be in Lab View 8.

    you mean something like this (see below)?
    Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc.  But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
    Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..

  • I am self employed and I want to be able to offer private tuition in PhotoShop and Illustrator, alongside Corel PaintShopPro and MS Office that I already teach. Can I get these two products, or all, at the 'educational' price?

    I am self employed and I want to be able to offer private tuition in PhotoShop and Illustrator, alongside Corel PaintShopPro and MS Office that I already teach. Can I get these two products, or all, at the 'educational' price?

    Not that I know. S&T pricing only applies to verified institutions. Could well be that you may need to fill out a paper with whatever governmental authority is responsible on the planet you live, but otherwise you're just a private business like any other and would most likely deduct the expenses from your tax bill...

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get FaceBook to open at all on my phone. Any ideas?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get the facebook app on my phone to even open. Any ideas?  I already tried shutting the phone off and restarting, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for any suggestions that will help.

    Do you have the latest FaceBook app version installed?
    If so, try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Loaded the new version of Firefox, now I can't get it to open. I keep getting "the computer needs to reboot for updates. when I reboot, it still doesn't work. I tried to remove firefox from the computer, I get the same message. It won't let me remove it.

    'The version of mozilla in my program list has 45.5 mb of space but when I look at the download it says it should only be around 15mb.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

    I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password.  It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone.  How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    If it's iTunes asking for these details:
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • After charging my nano I put it in my ihome system the screen locked up and now I can't get it to come back on or my computer to recognize it even after updating the software

    any suggestions on how I can fix this

    This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

  • I made the mistake of installing Freerecorder, now I can't get rid of it. After uninstalling the icon is still there, it's ads still appear. How do I nuke??

    I previously installed Ad block plus BTW.
    For instance when I log into Yahoo e-mail the first couple of lines are an empty box (thank you, Ad block!) but still has a "ads by Freerecorder" line. Until I figured out how to turn off the "feature" Freerecorder would open a new window almost every time I clicked on a link so both the desired link and an ad would open in separate windows. I uninstalled not only Freerecorder but Firefox a well and re-installed Firefox but *not* Freerecorder but it still happens as if Freerecorder has a cookoo in the Firefox folder. The Freerecorder icon also appears in the upper right, next to the "home" button, if clicked it goes to a page trying to sell me, you guessed it, Freerecorder.
    Let me know if it would help to somehow post screen captures.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Can't get QT7 to open

    Hello all.
    A while back I did the silly thing to delete QTX thinking that that would solve the installation of QT7 that I downloaded on the Apple site. After much havoc and searching I realised I needed to reinstall Snow Leapard and from the installation disc find QT7.
    Now I have both QT7 and QTX. QTX is working fine but I can't get QT7 to work at all. The software won't even open. I don't understand what's happened.
    Please help, I need QT7 desperately.
    Anders

    Is QT7 not launching when you open a movie file by double-clicking on it, or is it not launching if you go directly to the application?
    It's been moved to the Utilities folder and isn't in the Applications anymore.
    The system will default to the newer QTX (which I think is yucky), so you have to change the 'open with' settings on your video files with the 'Get Info' command.
    Deb.

  • Can't get itunes to open

    i downloaded the updated software for itunes and i can't get it to open. I double click on the icon and it won't. i go to start and try to open it that way and it won't work. i don't get any type of error message...or any message at all. it just acts as if i'm not even clicking it. help!

    replying to elude
    1. I do have Norton Anti-Virus 2005
    2. When i attempt to launch QuickTime, i get a message that says "Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." If I click the "Do it Now" button, it tells me that my software is already the latest version. If I click cancel, the message pops up again. If I hit cancel again, then QuickTime will launch.
    3. Yes, in Task Manager, iTunes.exe shows up for a few seconds and then disappears without iTunes loading.
    good gracious. you may have two different things going on at once here. (the particular QuickTime symptoms you're getting are not typically associated with an itunes error message free launch failure.)
    just doublechecking something first ... you're getting no error messages whatsoever when launching itunes? (my questions for wazzle were designed to sort through possible causes for error message free itunes launch failures.)

  • HT201363 I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

    I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
