Lightroom V1.4 won't allow me to edit files converted to.dng

I use windows vista business edition. Recently when importing raw files into Lightroom: If I leave them as raw files I can then edit them either in Lightroom or Photoshop CS3. However if I convert the files to .dng, the files are importe but when I attempt to edit them eith in Lightroom or Photoshop I get an error message. Can anyone advise a fix.
Thanks

How can I get to these?

After I edit a raw file in Lightroom 5 and with raw 8.5, the edited files revert back to being unedited. Any ideas?

I edit them in Lightroom. Then the little symbol appears in the bottom of the thumbnail in the film strip at the bottom of the LR screen. Then, a few minutes later, the symbol is gone. I then click on one or more of the thumbnails and the image opens in the main screen. However, all of the sliders on the right are at their defaults, and the image is back in its unedited state. Last night, for a while, the edits reappeared, but tonight they were gone again. I just recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.5. I wonder if that is the problem.
What little symbol? Do you mean the up-arrow symbol that appears top-right of grid or film strip images? This indicates that the image has been edited by another program.
Or do you mean the "+/-" symbol that appears bottom right?. This appears after editing, but if it disappears subsequently without you doing anything, it sounds like something nasty is happening to the catalogue or image xmp file on disk.
Lightroom doesn't use ACR (8.5 or any other version) - it has the same functions built-in. ACR is used only by Photoshop. Are you opening the images in ACR in Photoshop?

Nikon D810 .NEF (small) files converted by DNG Comverter 8.6 is not recognised by Lightroom 5.5 or CameraRaw 8.6

D810 NEF (small) files converted by DNG Comverter 8.6 is not recognised by Lightroom 5.5 or CameraRaw 8.6. The normal NEF files are visible after conversion. Is there a way out to get the converted DNGs read in LR or ACR?

No there is not, but as of yesterday, Adobe knows that the 9MP small-raw files don’t work and will likely fix in the final release. Until then you need to shoot full-res 36MP images.

Lightroom won't allow me to edit the middle square of my image

For some reason lightroom currently won't allow me to make any changes to the middle square of my image but I can do anything i want to any other parts of the image. Any ideas what is going on?

it says the old one can't be deleted
Assuming here that the message goes on to say "contact your technical support group".
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Safari won't allow me to download files

Safari won't allow downloads. What can I do?

Safari usually will download files that it can handle itself or files that can be handled by another app on your iPad. What type of file is it not downloading? Perhaps if you had an app that could handle the file type you could download it.

Lightroom won't allow me to add file during import - only copy

I'm trying to import items to my catalog. When I choose items from my hard drive that are NOT in dropbox, Lightroom offers me the "add" and "move" options for the files. When I choose files that are anywhere within dropbox, it only offers the "copy" import functions. I don't want second copies of these files - I already have them imported into my computer. It will let me import and copy TO the Dropbox files, but won't just add from them.
One detail (that shouldn't matter, but maybe) ... Windows believes that dropbox is indeed stored on the local hard drive but only through a junction trick within Windows. The folder is actually on a very large SDXC card permanently resident on the computer. Windows doesn't even know this as a result of the trick being used - so Lightroom shouldn't care. Like I said ... Lightroom lets me import and copy TO those locations but when selecting files already there it makes me copy them. I've been using Photoshop and CR forever and this has worked fine. Trying to use lightroom for the improved elegance of the CR feature set and the ability to non-desctructively make and save raw level changes but can't tolerate duplication of thousands of raw images.
Help!

Thanks for the input.
Lightroom allows me to copy TO that location on an import but not import FROM it? So I'm allowed to import and end up with stuff there, but not allowed to start with it there. No sense at all in that design. That's downright restrictive and really offers no particular benefit. Hey, Lightroom designers ... change that!
This computer is a powerful ultrabook with a 512 SSD which is as big as reasonably and cost-effective available with the addition of a 256 SDXC card to handle the additional extra capacity I need. Not too many other reasonable options out there. This computer is constantly on the go and the addition of an external drive hanging off of it simply isn't manageable.
Any other tricks out there?

Copyright protection won't allow me to add files to itunes

Here's the deal, my sister (who has moved out) owns some cds that were ripped to windows media player a long time ago and now it won't let me add these songs into iTunes. She currently has the cds. Is there anyway to bypass this error and add these songs to iTunes?

In short No, Id say they won't import cuz they was ripped in a WMA protected format from the CD. If thats the case then theres nothing you can to legally that will allow iTUnes to play them

Can log-in fine, editable regions are there, but ICE won't allow me to edit!

Hi,
I'm using the CS4 versions of ICE and DW. I configured my site correctly, and it connects fine. I also created an ICE-editable text box and made sure that all options (font, hyperlinks, etc.) were checked. I uploaded the page (index.html), and logged in and configured everything, then click "edit page" - sure enough, my ICE-editable box is selected, and I can place the cursor inside it...
...however, I CANNOT edit any text or add hyperlinks and images...the buttons are basically grayed out, and I have no idea why. I'm at a loss. Please help! Thanks,
Nathan
PS. My site is www.drunknomad.com

In DW4, select the div that you wnat to make editable... then you need to select at least one option from the Properties and allow it to be editable.
As it stands nw, you have nothing selected. If you "Check All" it will change the line in your code to:
<div class="style2" id="inothernews" ice:editable="*">
Good Luck,

My Macbook won't allow me to delete files that's in my trash! ㅠㅠ

Info about my MaBook
OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
So basically my Macbook won't let me delete things off my hard drive. I'm quite new to MacBook (I got it a week ago) and I've just realised that when you have a hard drive, when you delete things off it, you have to drag it to trash and then "secure empty trash it." Whenever I do that "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items" pops up and I don't know what to do!
I haven't broken it right?
I don't know if this is useful but the hard drive I am using is "G-Technology G-DRIVE Mobile USB 3.0 1 TB External Drive - Special Edition," I got it from Apple... err here's the link - http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HF113ZM/A/g-technology-g-drive-mobile-usb-30-1 -tb-external-drive-special-edition?fnode…
I don't know if this is helpful either but I also re-formated the hard drive into ExFAT

You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete?

Installed OS X Snow Leopard on external HDD, now won't allow me to delete files from Mac internal drive

Hi,
I am stuck! My 1 TB iMac 27" decided to stop booting up and would only stay at the grey screen with the apple, gear turning and progress bar. When it got to a certain point on the progress bar it would shut down. Thanks to so many helpful people and their experiences I was able to try many different things including (Command + S, typing /sbin/mount -uw / enter , chmod 775 / enter, logout enter, then rebooting holding down Command + V) and (Reinstalling OS X and using Disk Utility to repair - came up with Disk can't be fixed).
Nothing worked until I read a couple of very wise answers who said "Your hard drive is not dead, but too full...keep at least 10% free at all times". I was down to about 1% (ooops!) Thankfully hubby had bought me an external HDD for Christmas, onto which I installed OS X and being connected to my iMac, it recognized my internal Macintosh HD and all my files are there. Phewww! But I don't want to use my external HDD as my startup disk, I wan't to keep my Macintosh HD for startup but it is too full to repair and select as startup.
My problem is that I cannot delete files from Macintosh HD, and I've tried to unlock files/folders but they don't seem to be locked. But when I drag them to the trash can it says "The item ... can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted." Again, many helpful answers online, but nothing is working. I have 2 Finder windows open, one with external HDD (new startup disk), and old HDD (Macintosh HD) but all items in Macintosh HD can't be altered or deleted (right click doesn't highlight to change the name). So if I can't delete my files, I can't reinstall OS X and repair disk and select it as my startup disk. I'd be so thrilled if someone can help me. I have tried unlocking folders, and I downloaded 'Trashit'. Neither worked, so I figure because it has the little pencil crossed out on the menu bar that it is protected somehow...I just don't know how/what to do. Thanks

Ok, so I'll try set it out a bit clearer than my first post,
This is what I've done, and the results:
1. My son unplugged working iMac Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2, 1TB with only 11GB available space
2. Turned it on and got the white screen, apple, turning gear and load-up bar
3. Turned Mac off and waited 1/2 a minute.
4. Turned Mac back on...(same as 3.), tried again many times
5. Began searching internet for answers (see original post)
6. Found answers and did the following:
               1.     Put OS X installation disk into drive
               2.     Attached External Hard Drive
               3.     Installed OS X onto External Hard Drive (With a different name & password to original HDD)
               4.     Found Macintosh HD still worked so tried to delete files only to get message saying                                           files couldn't be deleted (see original post)
I've tried changing the permissions in 'Get Info' and this is what happens:
1.Right click Macintosh HD - says "You can only read"
                                                  Name: System - Read & Write
                                                             Admin -   Read & Write
                                                             Everyone - Read only
2.Click on padlock to unlock - doesn't turn black to be able to change anything
3.Check the box "Ignore ownership on this volume" (someone else advised to do this)
4.Name changes to 'mydrive (Me)'
5.Lock padlock and Name still says mydrive (Me) but still 'You can only read'
I don't know what is wrong or what to do, but perhaps you are right LowLuster, that because I named them different names it is protected in some way.
My thought now is to copy all my files to the external HDD and then erase and install again on my internal HD, but I really need my calendar, emails etc from my old HD and not sure they can be found on the old HD to copy over.
Still stuck!

ITunes won't allow me to add files

My old computer recently crashed (fortunuately I had all my files backed up). I got my new computer today (standard macbook pro 13) and after the initial setup I moved all my old files onto the computer, but when trying to add mp3's to itunes it goes through all the normal processes of adding a file but when it's finished processing the files don't actually appear in itunes. I've done this twice now with the same result. Is there some obvious mistake I'm making? Any help would be nice. Thanks!
PS: I'm opperating on OS X Mavericks and iTunes 11.1

InDesign (and other aps) won't allow PS to save file linked image

I frequently get the message "can't save the file because the file was left open/or it is in use" in Photoshop CS4. I originally posted this in the PS forum, but a moderator told me it should be posted here, because, as he says, "the OTHER application is keeping the file open when it should not be, and the OTHER application is preventing Photoshop from saving to the file".
The situation goes like this: I option-click on an image in ID CS4 to open it in PS CS4, and after I've edited it and attempt to save it, the above message pops up. However, it doesn't usually happen on the first option-click in ID, but rather after I've gone back to ID where it automatically updates the image, and I option-click on it for the 2nd or 3rd time. In Q7, its even worse—even if I delete the image and save the file, or if I close the related document—I still get the PS message. I have to quit Q7 to resolve the problem.
I work on full color images in the publishing field, with relatively large layered PS files which frequently need to be changed. Going back and forth between ID, Q7 and PS using their respective clicking on the image options expedites the design process. With not being able to save in PS for images linked to page layout applications, I am losing the ability to multitask in this area.
Also, what makes this "bug" so perplexing is that it doesn't always happen. For instance, yesterday while working in a file, I couldn't save ANY image in PS linked to the page layout app without quitting that app first. Later in the day, the problem disappeared, and I didn't have to quit the file. I have no idea what I did that caused it to "fix itself".
Anyone aware of any patch or practical workaround to this?

This message is a reply to the first "Spiers" reply to my post, not the one referring to Windows.
Which widget are you referring to? The mini icons to the right of my forum ID at the top are New, Your Stuff, History and Browse. None of these offer anywhere to go related to my post. They just dump you in another random area of the forums or to your own post or account history.
However, there is to the right, a sidebar that reads: "More Like This" which offers links to posts that DO relate to my problem. But, they DO NOT offer a solution. You, like the moderator in the PS forum, are basically telling me the same thing: Please take your issue somewhere else.
Why can't I get a direct answer, maybe like "Abobe is aware of the problem and is working on a patch" or "as obvious that it appears to be a CS issue, the problem is actually with OS X, etc." Don't give me the bum's rush.

New mac won't allow me to add files to my old external hard drives.

Hi there,
I've been trying my hardest to figure out how to do this without having to delete all of my files and reformatting my external HD, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords when I search for solutions?
Anyway...
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, and have since been unable to transfer any files (photos/video/documents) from this new Mac, to any external HD's (that worked fine on my previous Mac as well as other Macs).
However, I am able to drag files from the external HD to my mac, and transferring files to a small USB works without an issue.
How do I fix this, without deleting/wiping the external HD so I can transfer files onto it?
Thanks so much for any help!
