LR 2 and 2.1 Hang when creating eather a web gallery or HTML Gallery

I was hoping that LR 2.1 would fix a problem creating either a Web gallery or an HTML gallery. The program hangs after about 15 files have been added to the gallery.
Is there a configuration tweak I could make.
Jim

What system? Are previews built already.

  • Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

    Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
    I have documented this problem on my blog here:
    Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
    This has my hardware details, etc...
    I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
    I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
    Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
    Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
    Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

    Hi,
    I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
    If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
    Good luck!

  • Frame hangs when creating PDF

    I'm running Frame 8, unstructured, on Vista. Also running Distiller 8.
    I have a book file and was creating individual PDFs of the chapters doing Save As PDF on each chapter. After three weeks of doing this Frame starts to hang when creating the PDFs. Nothing different in the files, just some editing of commas, mispellings etc. Sometimes just repaginating for page numbers. I noticed, strangely, that I first had to delete the old PDF, it wasn't overwritinng. Then that started hanging so I was changing the name of the file. Then changing the name wasn't working. 
    Frame was opening Distiller but it wasn't doing anything else. At some point it doesn't even open Distiller. Just hangs Frame. Doesn't matter if I reboot, it has no affect.
    Then, doing absolutely nothing, it starts working again ... for a while. There's nothing intricate about these files. They're pretty vanilla. Lots of text, a handful of tables (or not) and some graphics in eps or tif format.
    What is going on here?
    Dottie M.

    From everything I have read, it is better to Print to a PDF than to use Save As....and also set your default printer to pdf. Although some I have read use the Save As PDF, most don't agree. You can give it a shot anyway....

  • So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started

    So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started
    anybody know why aslmanager needs 99% of CPU and 2+ GB footprint?

    ok, i found a solution that worked for me. this may or may not be the problem you are having but give this a shoot. i think in my case the asl database got corrupted. unline tiger and below this database is not stored in asl.db in leopard. in leopard, the entire /var/log/asl directory is the database. so to remove the database and start from scratch, you need to
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
    sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/tmp (you might as well use rm but i wanted to be safe)
    sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
    For good measure I also ran the maintenance scripts:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    My machine has been dead quiet for hours now. darn, it's back to the kitchen for making my toast.
    so, what did we learn? Mac, PC - same thing; both are great until you have problems. only with pc's you have a lot more resources to tap into...

  • Oracle 11g Install hangs when "creating clon database"

    hi, i'm new with all this stuff, i'm trying to install oracle 11g on a windows 2003 standard edition and the installation hangs in this point:
    http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/1458/installni7.jpg
    it's almost an hour and it's stuck in 45% when trying to create clon database in "Creating and starting oracle instance".
    I checked the log file but it says nothing weird, just that everything went well and a "restore" was made.
    what can i do?
    thanks!!!

    If someone still needs an answer to this:
    I had a similar problem with 10g. If you use certain special characters in the password for the database during its creation, some script will hang forever at 45% of the database creation. Just use a plain password without special characters. At the end of the database creation you can change all passwords. At that stage you can use special characters without any problem.
    I don't know if this is the same in 11g, but it sounds very similar.

  • Sales office and sales group compulsory when creating a sales order

    Hi,
    When creating a new sales order, I would like to have the sales office and sales group compulsory.
    Does anyone know where is the customizing point?
    Thanks for your help,
    Ronan

    Dear Ronan,

    Here, Select Group as A - Sales Header
    and double-click: Procedures (left hand Dialog Structure).
    On to next screen, select Incompleteness Procedure "11" and double click: Fileds  (left hand Dialog Structure).
    On to next screen, include Table-Filed as:
    1. VBAK - VKBUR (for Sales Office) and
    2. VBAK - VKGRP (for Sales Group)
    for both the entries, select Scr. as "KKAU" and Status as 01 and check Warning.
    Note: To make changes in to InCompleteness Procedure, click: (CTRL+F1)

    Here, assign your Order type (say, OR) to your Incompleteness Procedure (say, Z - Procedure)
    Check Field: IC-Dialog as per requirement (Clck the field and press F1, to read its usage).
    Now, Go to, T. Code: VOV8; and select your Sales Doc. Type (say, OR).
    Within the Sales Doc., Assign your defined Incompleteness Procedure in to:

  • IMac initail setup hangs when creating user account picture.

    I just purchased a brand new Imac. When I attempt to create my initail user account I am asked if I want to take a new picture for this user account.
    The Imac then hangs when I click on the check box to take a picture. Can someone please advise me on this procedure?

    It should work, but either skip that part for now, or better yet...
    If 10.7.0 or later...

  • Field Ref. and SRef,mat type when creating new material types

    Hi,
    While creating new material type we are giving the Filed ref. on that basis sytem find which fields are option mand. etc. below the filed ref. there is also SRef for material type , why this fileld is use ? if this is screen sequence ref. then what is use of industry sector when creating material bcoz industry sector also determines the scrren ref. then which will follow when we creat the material.
    regards,
      zafar

    Hi,
    SRef is the Screen reference .
    You have to create the Sref then it should assign depending on the transaction.
    Grouping of transactions that determines what screens are displayed depending on the transaction when you maintain material master records. It also determines the order in which the screens appear.
    The screen reference Transaction is in table T130M.
    In material master the first reference is industry sector,then specific to the industry sector what is the material type & screen sequence.

  • ORA-02263 when creating Report on Web Service Result

    Hi,
    I'm using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08 and I'm having problems creating a report on web service result.
    This is the tutorial I'm using: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/web_serv.htm (yes, I realize it's intended primarily for APEX 3.2).
    I am able to create the web service, but when creating a report on web service result, I get the following error in the last step:
    ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
    I have tried creating a report on the same web service result on apex.oracle.com (Application Express 4.2.1.00.08) and I don't get the error, and I am able to create the report.
    The same thing happens with another web service, so I'm puzzled.
    What could be the problem?
    Thank you.

    I wasn't able to solve the original problem, but I was able to recreate the process manually, using APEX_WEB_SERVICE.PARSE_RESPONSE function, documented here:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_web_service.htm#autoId10
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Getting the Error when creating the WSD(Web Service Defination)

    Hello,
    When I tried to create the WSD(Web Service Defination) through the Wizard or function module I am getting the error "Error during activation" and again it is giving the error "internal error ACTIVATE in WEBSERVICE Wizard;".
    What will be the probable cause of this error.
    Is I have to change some configuration
    Please Suggest.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - error returned is
    Error during activation
    Message no. WS_TOOL085
    but no further information is provided
    But the Virtual Interface in the package does activate with no problem - so this is WSD specific!
    Some help would be appreciated...

  • Possible BUG in 10.1.3 - JDev 'hangs' when creating Control Hints for EO

    I noticed that every time I want to add someting under Control Hints for myEO (and then click Apply ot OK) JDev basically hangs and I need to restart it by first killing the process.
    Afterwards, I have to go back to myEO and edit it again since the changes were not saved. Just before I open myEO I can see 'common' directory in the Application Navigator just under my 'businessobjects' package. However when I edit myEO and this time successfully click OK (or Apply) this directory is gone.
    I guess it has something to do with the creation of myEOImplMsgBundle.java file which for some reason hangs JDev.
    Anyone experienced similiar (same) issue?

    This has to do something with Java Code Generation Engine.
    I have just tried to create Row Impl file for my VO and gut 'hanged'.
    Anyone from Oracle?

  • JDev hangs when creating copy rule

    Hi,
    I try to build a simple BPEL prototyp using beta3. Sometimes, when I create a copy rule, jdev just hangs and I have to kill it via task manager (win xp). I suppose this only happens with quite "long" variable names in the expression builder?
    Has anyone experienced these hangs?

    Hi,
    I started trying Beta3 only. Didn't check in Eclipse by now.
    My configuration is: win xp SP2 (up tp date), 1GB RAM, BPEL beta3.
    I tried to create a copy rule for a variable named: ReadDBParams_ReadParamsServiceSelect_OutputVariable
    This freezes jdev all the time. Then I renamed the variable to: ReadDBParams_OUT
    This seems to work.
    The long variable name doesn't make that much sense, but it was generated by a witard like that, so it should work... :-)

    Have you tried doing this first:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If there are no errors reported then try the routine I suggested rather than trying to expand the existing partition just try to Add a second partition as you have tried before.
    If this still gets you nowhere, then I'm afraid you're left with having to repartition from scratch. You'll want to backup the existing files if you don't wish to lose them. I would then do this:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition 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 Options 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.
    When the above is completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

  • IPhoto hangs when creating a new album

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble creating new albums in iPhoto '09. I select File -> New Album, enter an album name, and click [Create]. iPhoto then quickly locks up with the spinning beach ball of death. I have to Force Quit iPhoto. If I then reopen iPhoto and try to create a new album, it hangs again. The only way to create a new album, is to reboot my Mac Pro. After that I can create new albums. However, after my Mac Pro goes to sleeps and wakes up, I can no longer create new albums until I reboot again. Everything else in iPhoto seems to work fine.
    The iPhoto library was initially created in iPhoto '08 running Leopard. Now I am using iPhoto '09 under Snow Leopard. I've tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist preference file. I have used Command+Option when starting iPhoto to rebuild the database. Nothing seems to work. I have my iPhoto library in its default location.
    Any ideas or suggestions? This is very frustrating.
    Thanks!
    Steven

    Hi all,
    I fixed the issue of iPhoto freezing (beach ball of death) issue as well as many other issues. I reinstalled Snow Leopard and reapplied the updates.
    Got say that reinstalling Snow Leopard is way easier than reinstalling Windows Vista. I have initial release of both. Apple packs most of its SL updates into one big bundle. While with Vista, Windows Update kept hitting me with 1 to 3 updates a time and then forces a reboot. After a dozen reboots, then it wanted to install Vista SP1. Then more updates and reboots before I got to Vista SP2. And then there were still more updates. BTW, Vista is running in a VMWare Fusion VM.
    Thanks,
    Steven
