Lightroom wont start says tempoary file path not valid

Believe this is due to an (windows 7) update.Says Lightroom cannot operate without a valid temporary file path.

Go to the new folder location for Lightroom
Find Lightroom.exe
Right click Lightroom.exe
select make "new short cut".
drag shortcut file to desktop
delete old LR icon
rename shortcut you just created to what ever you want by right clicking icon and selecting rename.
You should be good to go.

  • Acrobat Reader won't read pdfs: "file path not valid"

    I thought that my PlayBook would be the perfect device to read pdfs in the Adobe Reader. The only problem is when I download a pdf from the internet, or copy a pdf from my computer, and click on the file icon from within the Reader, all I get is a cryptic error message that reads "The file path is not valid". No hints at what to do.
    At first I thought it was a problem with the file. But every file suffers from the same ill fate. Do you have any suggestions?

    Even had a tech try to take control but couldn't get Lightroom to open from exe

    I found the solution, I am running windows 7 64 bit os, and I had to down grade the java plug in to 1.4.2_17 and I have to launch the asdm in ie 32 bit it can be ie8 or 9, but it has to be 32 bit. feels good.

  • I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

    I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

    Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
    Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
    Thank you @dj_paige

  • Itunes says "Original File could not be found"

    I've moved my Itunes music folder to a different location to accommodate more music. I've also created a new library in another location with other music (reasons aside). Also, the Advanced pane shows the correct location of the Itunes files. All worked just fine, opening Itunes with option key to be able to choose the correct library. Now, when I click almost any tune in after opening the original library, Itunes says "Original File could not be found - would you like to locate it?" I could but I certainly don't want to do this for each and every song. How can I do this "en masse" and How can I avoid this in future? Thanks in advance for any help.

    am pulling my hair out now after to many hours on this issue.. Surely Apple must be able to sort this issue by now.
    My itunes library is 5+ yrs old now and therefore 10,000 songs, numerous podcasts, videos etc etc. not to mention loads of rating information, hundreds of playlists created from last played, rating, genre etc etc, therefore i cannot afford to loose all this valuable data attached to my itunes library. However recently half of my library appeared with exclamation marks all over it, though i cannot work out why as all the music files are in the location specified in preferences, path etc.
    It seems that itunes just wont bother looking at this path and syncing with whatever is there. Yeah fine i can add the whole itunes music folder again and it will import every song again so i go from 10,000 to 20,000 songs, i could deal with this with a dupe eliminator that are freelu available on the net but the new imports without the exclamation marks cleary dont have the historical data of play counts, last played ratings etc etc attached to them so its no different from deleting and starting again.
    I have tried all the options in this post and none of them deal with the simple issue of just look at the location that it listed in the preferences and search for the file u think is missing on mass!!!
    Its not rocket science so why havent Apple fixed this. !!!
    If anyone has got a solution for this or work around that doesnt involve completly writing off years of rating and creating playlists based on numerous historical data then i would be bery appreciative!!

  • Text Edit: Saving says "This File Does Not Exist"

    When I'm in Text Edit, it often won't let me save- claiming the file does not exist. Sometimes I'll open an older Text Edit file and make an edit, go to save again, and I get the same message. To remedy, it will let me save to the Desktop instead of say, a folder on the server that I'm working in. But even then- there are times that it will say the file does not exist when I go to save to the Desktop, but then it will just save it there anyway. Then I have to do a drag and drop into the correct folder I needed in the first place.
    This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough for me to think something is clearly wrong. Just to give a run-down, this happens on my work computer. It's a Mac desktop. Running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. If anyone has any thoughts on the problem, I'm all ears. I'm also not terribly tech savvy in the way some other people are in this community. But I know my way around a computer pretty well.

    Copied from another thread for those who can't find the solution:
    "The problem when you get that "The document Untitled could not be saved as "-----" .  The file doesn't exist" message is actually nothing more than a Pathway problem.  The pathway Text Edit wants to use has been corrupted and TextEdit has no idea where to turn.
    Odds are VERY likely that if you look at the "start" folder of the path from which you are trying to save (and from which you probably save regularly), it is NOT the Top-Level Hard Drive Folder, but some folder inside the hard drive, possibly nested several layers in.
    To Fix This:
    1) Create any New TextEdit document, and click Save.
    2) When the Save Dialogue box pops up, navigate BACKWARDS to the absolute Top Level Folder of your Mac (probably called something like "Macintosh HD" or the like - we are talking the level ABOVE your User name / account).
    3) Click on that Top Level, and then navigate from there down through your User account to the actual folder where you would like to save your document.  It does not matter how deep your desired folder is located as long as you Start from the absolute Top Level of your entire system.
    4) Click Save.  It should save Just Fine. 
    What you basically just did was tell your Mac which way to turn - the "directions" the Mac was using got corrupted and the TextEdit save process got lost in the woods.  Doing the steps above sets the save process back on the correct path."

  • Lightroom 5.6 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

    I upgraded to lightroom 5.6 recently and i am using photoshop cs 6.
    My OS is windows 8 on i5 4670 with R280X gfx card 16gb ram
    After editing a photo with lightroom , when I right click to edit in photoshop, immediately photoshop launch but the image isnt imported to photoshop.
    After like 30sec  an error message pop out saying "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched".
    After another 10sec then the photo appear in photoshop... this is getting irritating to me.
    if i select to just open the original or a copy of the original it works fine. It only happens when I try to open it with lightroom changes.
    I had uninstall/reinstall both photoshop and lightroom as well as remove all the plugins i had, but the problem doesnt go away.
    Another issue with lightroom 5.6 is the the adjustment brush is slow and sluggish, it is so unusable when I zoom in to use the adjustment brush.
    I didnt had that issue before i upgraded. OMG
    anyone have solution to my problem ?

    I upgraded to the latest version of ps cc 2014 , problem resolved.
    look like cs6 i outdated or something

  • Hi, I currently have iTunes version 10.4 loaded on my windows desktop. I'm trying to download version 10.6 but have been unsuccessful. My system saying that current iTunes.msi file is not valid. What can I do?

    Hi, I currently have iTunes version 10.4 loaded on my windows desktop. I'm trying to download version 10.6 but have been unsuccessful. My system saying that current iTunes.msi file is not valid. What can I do?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

    I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??
    I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

    How did you do this move?  Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • My itunes library got screwed up some how. When i goto play a song in my library it says original file can not be located. how do i locate them

    when i go to play the selected song it says original file can not be found. do you want to locate the file. how do i locate the file?

    Have you moved, renamed or deleted the original files?
    Has another programme on your computer moved, renamed or deleted the files?
    Have you just created this iTunes Library?
    Have you recently added the missing music music from an external hard drive?
    If it's none of the above, what have you been doing recently? For example, have you been "sorting" your files in your file manager?

  • I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itune's however all of my music has an "!" buy it and I get an error saying "original file can not be found". How do I get my music back?

    I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itues, however; all of my music has an "!" but it and I get an error that says " original file can not be found".
    How do I get my music back?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.
