LR 4 not opening (Win8)

Hi all. I am hoping you can help me! I am a professional photographer and I use lightroom every day. Friday night it just stopped opening. There is no error code or anything, it just will not open! I have unistalled, reinstalled, and done the repair to no avail. My husband is pretty handy with computers and he did a ton of virus scanning etc. He is at a loss as well. Any ideas??

How Do I Correct FF GUI From Not Opening After Computer Restart

Every time I restart my Win8 and then FF, the FF GUI does not open (i.e. the browser window does not appear) although Task M shows FF as running. Only work around so far is to re-install FF (obviously using another browser to access the download install site). I tried disabling all add-ins and this had no affect. Even if I exit FF before restarting the computer, the same issue occurs. If I exit FF but do not restart the computer, FF will re-start normally, meaning the browser window appears.
This started occurring a couple of weeks ago. At that time I did a System Restore back to a point before it started happening and that did not correct the issue.
I also uninstalled FF keeping my settings but the issue remained when I re-installed FF. I even went to the extreme of uninstalling and not keeping my settings and then reinstalling and adding my add-ins and setting my options (a couple hours of work) and the issue still remained.
Once it is open I see no problems with it or any add-ins.

IMac external hhd does not open on networked windows 8.1 pc

Hi there
I hav a 2008 iMac with OS 10.10 and it has three external HHD that are networked to my windows pc. I can see the icons on my pc but when I click on a drive it will not open. In fact it can crash windows explorer and pc has trouble turning off or restarting even logging off. I think I have the correct setting on the mac and pc. I can see and open the shared folders on the mac from the pc but can not open the drives. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Driving me mad.
Thanks for any help

Hi Gottfried,
No, I have not found a solution yet. Because I don't have any issues when I am running Fiddler2, I did some research on that program. On their website, they say the problem (that Fiddler fixes) is usually caused by applications sending the GetResponseStream()
method but failing to call close on the resulting object. The maximum connections-per-host is then reached. But, I don't know if Win7 and Win8 handle SharePoint requests differently - I'm guessing that they do.
According to our service provider, this is a bug in the combination that we are running (Win8 and SP2013 w/SSL). They have more than 20,000 customers and can't get it to work! I have went through their level 1,2 and 3 support teams who all could not solve
it.
I am surprised that you got it to work in your internal environment - do you also have port 80 (in addition to 443) accepting requests? I have no problem at all when using no encryption. On the public site I have a valid certificate and internally
using self-signed. (No different than when I was running SP2010). I have tried different combinations of authentication methods and ordering, but nothing worked.
Hopefully, somebody can provide some insight into what might be going on here, so that you and I can get this working. It has become a major problem in our company and our employees are starting to revert back to alternative services to share files.

Acrobat 9 standard will not open in Windows 8?

Not sure what else to do. It installed just fine, but now will not open. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have not seen anyone report success with AA9 on Win8 yet. At this point, that is as much as I can say, other than only AA XI has been certified for Win 8. When you say will not open, are you trying to actually run the application directly and not try to double click on a PDF?

Premiere Pro cs5.5 will not open after double-clicking icon

I have uninstalled and reinstalled from disk. I double-click the icon and the opening screen begins and then closes down. I've run windows update to make sure everything is up to date and it still will not open. Any suggestions on what to do?

I don't think that is a graphics adapter, that is an I/O device... from what I have read
--Windows 7 click START and look on the right side
--Go to Windows Control Panel from START popup
--NOTE that I do not have Win8 so can't give instructions
--Click Hardware and Sound and then click Device Manager
--Click the + sign at Display Adapters
--Right click the display adapter and select Properties
The "usual" is some model of ATI/AMD or an nVidia adapter
I have nVidia GTX285 with driver 296.10

Lightroom 5 (trial) will not open

I am a Lightroom 3 user who is trying to migrate to a new Win8 computer. I initially tried to get LR3.6 on my new machine but had problems. As LR3 is not supported I've decided to upgrade. I downloaded LR5 onto my new machine using Firefox, went through the installation steps, and appear to have an installed version of LR5 (the shortcut is on my desktop and startup tiles). But when clicking or tapping or right-clicking to open it will not open. Just sits there.
I have already migrated my photo collection to the new machine, as well as my old 3.6 catalog. I found something about the catalog .lock file on another forum,which said that if that file is still present (it was, right there next to my catalog) LR won't open. I deleted the .lock file but it has not helped, LR5 is still inert. I've also tried re-starting after installing. Any ideas? Is there a setting I'm missing on Win8?
Thanks in advance.
Brad
PS I plan to buy once I get this working.

I reinstalled LR to the regular 32-bit program folder and it seems to have fixed it. I have finally been able to open it There seems to be an issue with the install of the 64-bit version. I ran the install aagain to try and repair the 64-bit version and it ran through fine but I was still unable to open it after that. I even DL some rec file for 64-bit version but it did not help.
Advice - install to your 32-bit program file until this is corrected....

Some macs that can run Win8 PERFECTLY have been deprecated in Bootcamp 5. Mine is a Mid 2009 MBP 15".
I have Windows8 Installed via Bootcamp 4. Every single device works perfectly. No issues whatsoever.
But now that I installed Bootcamp 5 / 10.8.3, IF I EVER delete my current Win8 installation, I will not be able to install it again. Because of Bootcamp 5. Even though my MBP can perfectly run Windows 8.

Simpass Program will NOT open- HELP

I love using my simple pass and in the last 2 days it has stopped working. I have searched for clues to how to fix it but soluation seem above my knowledge.
I can not open the Simple Pass program even though Simple Pass is still working to log me in and also get to websites. It is not working to log me in to websites though.
Please help

jleedancer,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Try this first -- it may be enough to kick it loose.
·         Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
·         Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
·         Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
·         Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
·         Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The Hard Reset procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. It just "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the cause of the problem, this kind of "reset" can fix a variety of computer glitches.
If you need more help, you are going to have to provide a lot more detail on your setup and situation.
Please provide the version of SimplePass you are using plus the information requested herein:

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.
