LR does not automatically load previews

I use a 5D and a MacBook Pro laptop. I have my source files (RAW files) on an external hard drive. When I return from a shoot I first copy the files to the external harddrive. Then I open LR, right click on the folder in the left panel and select "Synchronize folder". LR perfectly adds the additional images into the database. BUT...
LR does not automatically create previews from the new files. It will only do so when clicking on an image in the film strip. For me it's a problem because I like to take only the laptop with me on the commuter train to work (and leave the external hard drive at home) and then do some selecting while on the train. I cannot select files without a preview.
So... Is there a way to have LR create previews for all images in the database, e.g. by a command?
Thanks.

Thank you Lee and Mike. I found the command in the library menu and it works perfectly. And about using the import feature instead of the synchronise feature: I'm a bit worried about getting the files exactly where I want them and so I always copy them using the finder / file explorer to the exact location I want them in. Then I usually check if there are double instances of the files and if I copied all files from my memory card. As soon as I have it all the way I want it I use the synchronise command in LR and it never fails so far. I know I could import using LR and then I'd have the opportunity to select destination folder and such. However, sometimes I leave the files I transferred to my hard drive on my memory card (as backup) until I dock my laptop at my desk where I can back them up on external storage. So it happens a lot that my memory cards contain files I transferred before and I don't want LR to get mixed up with doubles.
Anyway the synchronise command works best for me so far, especially now you helped me find a way to get all files previewed.
Thanks!

Firefox does not automatically load nor find the login page for a public network (i.e. username and password)

To log in on a public network without a password-key (not secured), a user login is required.
After connecting to the network, the browser, upon opening it, normally automatically loads the login page, in order to enter a username and password and connect to the internet.
Firefox doesn't find the login page automatically, so I need to switch to google Chrome just to log in to the network.
Does this have anything to do with user settings in the options of firefox?
Any ideas?
thx!

Hi,
You can try setting the login page as the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page Home page] and choose to '''Show my home page''' beside '''When Firefox starts:'''.
Alternatively, and/or to preserve your current settings you could also pin it as an always present one-click away [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs App tab].

Bridge Does Not Automatically Bring Up Photoshop When the Photo is Double-Clicked

I have just purchased CS4 with Bridge for my new MacIntosh. In Bridge for the PC, when I double click a photo it automatically brings up Photoshop. On the Mac version, it gives me an error message saying that part of the application is not loaded. I completely uninstalled the program, and reloaded the application and still get the same message. So in Bridge on the Mac, to get around this, I right click the picture and go to "Open With" and there are two entries: "Open with CS4 (default)" and "Open with CS4." This works if I pick either option. My Windows version only has "Open with CS4 (default)" as the option.
I called Adobe support (in India?) with no solution.
I really like the double click option rather that using the pop-out menu choice. What is wrong with the Mac install, and how can I fix this issue?

Thank you for your help. I updated the software and it "healed" itself.
Best regards,

This might mean that you have either 2 installs of CS4 (one on an other
disk?) or you did not use the the default application folder on root level
but have it installed in the user account application folder. Could you
check this?
and go to "Open With" and there are two entries:

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

First-time user of IPod Shuffle, my husand has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs already on his ITunes account. If Is it possible to have two ITunes accounts so his music is not automatically loaded onto my new Shuffle?

Just bought an IPod Shuffle; my husband has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs on his ITunes account. Is it possible to have two different accounts on the same computer to prevent his music from being loaded onto my Shuffle?

When you say "iTunes account," I think you mean iTunes library. An iTunes "account" is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store (your Apple ID) and purchase songs (and other media). The iTunes library is what you have on your computer, with your songs and playlists. That is what you use for syncing iPods.
You can have a separate iTunes library. If you create a new user account on your computer (using Windows) and log in to that user account, iTunes will create a new iTunes library for that account. In fact, Windows will keep ALL of your documents separate, as if you are using a separate computer. That is probably the best way to keep your songs in a different iTunes library.
You can also create a separate iTunes library in the same Windows user account, if you use this procedure to switch between iTunes libraries
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1589
Also, you can use the same iTunes library, and decide what songs you want put on the shuffle. iTunes does not automatically put songs on the shuffle, unless you tell it to do so. This document explains how to load content on shuffles
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, your shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual on this support web page for the shuffle

LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen. Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all. The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference. I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem). What am I doing wrong?

The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

Google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

When Safari launches, tap in the address field (the one on the left) and type "www.google.com" then hit the "Go" button.
After the page finishes loading, hit the "Action" button (the middle button on the bottom button bar that looks like an arrow coming out of a rectangle) and select "Add to Bookmarks" to add the Google page to your bookmarks.
After that, you can hit the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like an open book in the bottom button bar) to access the Google bookmark you just created.

Sorry, I should distinguish between slow loading and manual reloading.
I understood your problem to be that Firefox never finished loading the page, i.e., some part of the page was loading too slowly.
By reloading, I meant Ctrl+r (or the reload button), to manually reload the page. You can disregard any cached files and reload all content fresh from the server by adding the Shift key, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+r (helpful when specific sites do not load correctly).
If the page is automatically reloading itself over and over, that sounds like a completely different problem.

Camera Raw RC 8.6 does not automatically locate the lens profile for the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens. The profile is in RC 8.6

I have loaded Camera Raw RC 8.6. It can not automatically locate the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens, although the lens profile can be manually found.

Hi
I forgot to answer one question.
When I have a file from the Canon 16-35mm f4 lens in Camera Raw and go to
Lens Correction and check the box Enable Lens Profile Corrections, when I
select the model in the first box as Canon, it picks the wrong 16-35mm lens.
It picks the f2.8. I hope that you can get this fixed in Raw 8.6. It is
a major headache for the user of this new lens.

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9). I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12. I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail! No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded. The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time! I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

Hi,
You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
Good luck

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,
