Lightroom won't export

Hello!
I am new to all of this and just downloaded the Lightroom free trial on Wednesday night. Since then I have uploaded around 100 photos, edited them all, and am now ready to export them. I successfully created a Watermark and added that onto my export settings. I requested that Lightroom upload the photos to a specific folder where there are currently no other photos or documents of any kind. I am able to hit the export button and everything is fine except that when it is done, I only see about 15 of the photos in the folder they were supposed to be in out of the 100.
When I return to Lightroom a pop-up comes up saying, "Some export operations were not performed." Then proceeds to give me a list of all of the files that were not exported. The tab that the files are under is labeled, "not enough memory." That doesn't make much sense considering I have over 200GB of space left on my laptop!
If someone could help me out with a few things to try I would be grateful. These are for a client and I've already made her wait almost a week for these photos so I don't want to prolong it too much longer!
If anyone wants any additional information about export settings I used feel free to ask and I'll to my best to give them to you. Thank you much in advance!

If you are going to force a limit of 1K bytes, you probably can't export anything. (In other words, its impossible to export your photo, or just about any photo, at that size). Better you should just export the file with "Resize to Fit" UNchecked, that should work.
I think dj_paige means uncheck 'Limit File Size To:'
Just to be clear this is a different problem than the OP's jojothehorse.

Lightroom won't export my exact dimensions

Lightroom won't export my exact dimension for my photos. How can I change this.

Are you running the latest version?
In Lr5.4 most but not all of such bugs are fixed.
If already running Lr5.4 then go to feedback forum and cast vote to the problem fixed.
Lightroom 5: export isn't resizing exactly to specified long edge.

Lightroom won't export more than one image at the time

I am having trouble exporting my RAW files as JPEG files. At first Lightroom 4.4 seemed to skip certain photos when exporting and now I'm unable to export more than one image at the time. How can I fix this? I didn't seem to have this problem before the 4.4 update, but then again, the 4.4 update has been running for a few days now. I run on a 32bit Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM.
Lightroom has also been a considerable lot slower since the last couple of days, yet there have been no changes at all to my computer or system or anything - nothing's changed expect for the fact that Lightroom isn't behaving as it used to.
Can anyone help me?

I think I've found the problem - I've accidentally 'synced' my folder instead of importing the RAW files. Which brings me to my next problem and question - I've already edited the RAW files and would really like it if there's a way I could re-import the files without losing my changes/metadata, is there anyway that's possible?

Lightroom won't export to Photoshop

Hi, I just downloaded the 4.4 update for LR and now when I export an image from Lightroom to edit in Photoshop it doesn't work!! This had happeded before and they send me a link - I think it was the 4.3 update but Idon't remember - but it took forever to get it sorted out. I irgently need to fix this as I am editing a wedding and this will take me forever to edit now!!!!!

I too have this problem and i had it before in 4.0 or 4.3. Now that i have upgraded to 4.4 i have the same problem and i was too looking for the solution. I found a work around which is only a couple of steps instead of just hitting Command and E to send to photoshop.
Just right click in the image you are working on and then select Edit in and you will see photoshop but dont select it, click on Select Program or Open with (cannot remember what it is) and then select your version of photoshop. Once this is done, on your next image just do the same steps, right click on image, edit in and select the second Photoshop in the menu and it will open just fine.
I know its not a fix but its a work around. You can also do a clean install of 4.4 and i think that should fix it. (pain in the *** which i havent done and probably wont do for a while since i cant have lightroom down.
Hope this helps.

My Lightroom won't export sharp. I have tried everything including creating a new catalog. Is there a bug?

Okay...so I am wondering if there is a bug. I have tried changing the settings as far as sharpening for screen/matte...etc...tried to start a new catalog. Same thing. I am scared to uninstall and reinstall because i already have it on two computers. I don't have the actual cd to download as I did it through the internet. Will it be able to install it again after uninstalling?

Thanks. Unfortunately, all nr/sharpening bugs are supposedly fixed @Lr5.4.
So if seemingly not fixed, it begs the question:
* Is it you? or is it Lightroom?
Does it work as expected in a previous version of Lightroom? (you double-check by downloading and installing a previous version of Lightroom..).
Consider posting a zip file containing:
* one-photo catalog with source file (export one photo as catalog).
* export preset (.lrtemplate file in Export Presets folder along with the rest of your presets/preferences..).
so others can try to reproduce.
If forum upload feature not working for you (it hasn't for me yet), you can use dropbox or yousendit.com.

Lightroom won't export..need help asap please

I was
in the process of exporting some edited photos. After I opened the Export menu I decided to rename the file I had originally downloaded
the files from into Lightroom and that I was going to download the edited photos into as a subfile.
Well when I did that I think I broke the link and now they will not export. When I choose a photo in Lightroom in this batch and I click on the export button it will not even open the export menu.
The export menu works fine will all my other files.
How do I reestablish the link or get Lightroom to recognize the files so I can export them....I am in a bind I need to get this wedding finished today.
Appreciate any help.

If you rename an image or move it to a different location, you can re=link it via the ? on the image thumbnail or by right-clicking on the thumbnail and choosing the Locate option.
If you rename the container the images are in (a "file" in your terminology, or a "folder" in normal terminology) or move the container that the images are in to somewhere else then you can re-link the container by right-clicking on the folder-name in the folder list at the lefthand side and choosing the Locate option.
It seems like you're referring to "folders" as "files" so it is confusing when LR asks you to find the folder.
Perhaps if you tell us the names of an example image and the name of its container before and the names of things after the rename or move, more explicit instructions can be given.
Or maybe it's been 4 hours and you've given up and re-imported and re-edited all your images.

My lightroom 5.5 trial won't export jpegs

I wonder if anyone is having the same problem I'm experiencing. I'm trying to export photos to a desktop folder as jpegs in readiness for a trip to the printers but LR won't export. It says that it can't find the folder even though it exists. Is it me? How do I do it without having to burn straight to DVD?
This is the message I get. I have tried getting LR to place the image in a subfolder and that gets the same error message. Any ideas?

Hal
That's wonderful and worked a treat... thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. Do you happen to know why some of the photos have a 'greyed-out' export option against them? The 'burn full sized JPEGs' is there as is 'export as DNG' and the 'hard drive email' option but the plain Export option isn't available. Any ideas on that. Everything else seems to be working perfectly. Thank you for the help so far. It was very much appreciated

Lightroom 2.7 exporting the wrong images

Hi. I've been using Lightroom since the first beta, currently running LR2.7 on a MacBook Pro. I installed the new CS5 (Web Premium suite) a little more than a week ago, and I'm suddenly having problems exporting images to JPEG from Lightroom.
Images import and edit correctly, look great, nothing gives me an error message. But when I try to export a single image, the first instance (after I've launched the application) will export correctly. After that, there seems to be about a 70% chance that subsequent attempts will export the wrong image. The file is correctly named, but the image will be a duplicate of the last successful export.
If I try to export a batch of four or five, the first image will usually export correctly, sometimes the last image will export correctly, but anything in between will be a duplicate of either a previous export, or the first image.
I assumed it was a memory issue, shut down the Mac and restarted, then opened Lightroom as the only active application. Same thing happened. I can export correctly in other applications such as Photoshop and Flash, but Lightroom won't. Activity Monitor doesn't show anything out of line for memory usage.
When the problem started happening I was running 2.6; I upgraded to 2.7 to see if that would fix it--it doesn't.
Any ideas? I'd rather not delete and reinstall Lightroom and rebuild my libraries if I can avoid it, especially if that might not solve the problem.
Help!
Thanks--

Hmmmm. I've tried various naming conventions and I'm still looking for consistency in the way the error occurs--could have something to do with naming presets, but it's acting like something gets stuck in the cache. What puzzles me is that I export files daily, haven't changed cameras, cards, file locations, my workflow is the same, and I've never had this problem. The only thing that's changed (that I'm aware of) is the installation of CS5--the error seems to have started when I started using "Edit in Photoshop." (And again, that was never a problem before)
The files all have different names, the ones assigned by the cameras.
This morning I rebooted, didn't launch any of the CS5 apps. Launched Lightroom, chose 7 files at random and exported them with the "filename" preset. They exported correctly. I selected them again, and tried another export, this time giving them a custom name, and they exported correctly with a sequence number attached. Tried them with "Custom Name-Sequence," and they worked again. I exported a single file with the same preset, again it exported correctly.
Then I switched folders, selected 7 different images and exported them with a new "Custom Name-sequence," and this time Lightroom exported EIGHT files. The sixth was the previously-exported single-file, so the exporter had gotten the first 5 right, inserted the old file in the sixth position, and then correctly exported the last two.
Three more tests exported everything correctly, which is far fewer errors than yesterday. I'm kinda stumped.

Lightroom won't render any images.

I am using Lightroom 4.1.
I have recently upgraded my graphics card and now Lightroom won't render any images!
There does not appear to be a problem with either Bridge or Photoshop CS5.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks,
Paul

More information, please.
When you say "render", exactly what do you mean? That images previews don't appear in say, the Develop module? Or that Lr isn't exporting images?
If it's the latter, what happens when you try to export?

Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

Hi all
Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
Cheers,
Stuart

Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

Lightroom vs jpeg export

Hi,
My images do not look the same as the way they appear in lightroom. Seems like they are loosing contrast/shadows.

Yes I am using sRGB color profile when exporting.
This is my screenshot of the image in Lightroom vs Jpeg Export on the right.

Lightroom won't open on my mac

I am attempting to activate Lightroom on a mac. I've used it on this computer in the past and it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the file and installed the product again. The installation went through, but Lightroom won't open. I tried deactivating the product before deleting, but there was no option. What am I missing?

What happens when you try to open Lightroom?
What is the error message?
What version of Lightroom?
What operating system?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application..

Depending on your operating system, use Windows Explorer or Finder to open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find a file with the same name as your catalog, but with the .lock extension. That file needs to be deleted, and then you will be able to start Lightroom.

OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
Final cut 6.0.6
Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.
