LR only opening 1 catalog - can't access others

Hi everyone,
I've come upon a curious problem as of recently, and I'm wondering if any of you might be able to help.
As of the last few days, my Lightroom will only open 1 of my catalogs (we'll call it catalog A), no matter which other one I click on and try to open, it always opens into one specific catalog.  If I try to open catalog B, or C, Or D, it doesn't matter, catalog A always opens up, no matter what I've clicked on.  Its boggling my mind.
Now here's what I have tried, and is a somewhat work around, but only partially.  I renamed the folder that the catlog A is in, and since LR couldn't find it, it gave me a list of other catalogs.  BUT it only gave me recently open catalogs, so some of my older catalogs were not accessible AND any new catalogs I tried to make were not accessible.
Then when I tried to export part of my current catalog A as its own catalog, LR would consitently crash without completing the task.
Does anyboby have any idea how I can get LR back to normal where it'd let me open up any of my catalogs, and be able to export as catalogs without crashing?  Thank you very much for your time.
Shawn

  • I changed itunes options the other day to only synch one playlist and now when I open itunes I can't access my library.

    I changed itunes options the other day to only synch one playlist and now when I open itunes I can't access my library or any playlists. 

    I think I fixed this problem a few years ago by literally copying and pasting all my audio content into the iTunes library folder. I can't remember what is called of the top of my head and I don't know if this will still work.

  • The Plug-in window (I/O thing) won't open, so I can't access my plugins...What do I do?

    The Plug-in window (I/O thing) won't open, so I can't access my plugins...What do I do?
    When i double click on the window i am unable to change it from EVP88 Electric Piano in the left hand sidebar.
    When I watch tutorials on how to use parts of logic, people use the I/O as a menu, whereas it does not do that for me.

    In the online Help type    Basic Operations
    From the List choose..  Basic Operations    then in the left hand menu choose..    Using The Mouse.
    Look at the list of mouse operations, I think it's the third one down. 
    Read how many different mouse operations Logic responds to.
    If you really want to learn Logic, reading the manual is a good thing, not only to find what you're looking for but of of the extra/related information you will find as you solve your original question.

    You access them in the event they are in or under Photos or from an album if they are in an album - simply drag them to the book project in the source pane on the left

  • CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent old site that requires work upon it

    Dreamweaver CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent web site created within it a while back that requires work upon it. CS4 not open/launch itself either? Therefore can't even export a site file to open up in a newer version but that won't run, support vital menu editing within it.

    Try clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences...
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
    If those don't work, you may need to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool. That won't affect your actual site files, but you would need to set-up the site definitions again within DW: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Can't access other accounts

    Suddenly I can't access other accounts in my Mac, everything works fine but when I choose to log into other user account it just remains in the progress bar and never logs in, even if I create a new user account it does not let me in (password or not). The information is intact but I just can log into the administrator account (no changes has been done in the accounts administration since they where created, everything happens in a sudden)

    With 10.3.9 you would go System Preferences-> Accounts -> (click on an Account)-> Limitations, then either No Limits or Some Limits depending how they were originally set up.
    You can adjust the criteria at this point.
    You may want to try deleting an account that is least used and re-adding a different one in its place. This will give you an account to experiment with to see if it behaves as the other accounts you're having trouble with.
    You'll likely be able to solve the problem by seeing what is different between this new account and your old ones.
    Hope this helps. If so please let the Apple Discussion forum know.

  • Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

    This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

    Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
    I agree - it is for sure a bug.

  • DSP3 opens but I can't access anything

    I've recently updated my OS to Tiger, as well as install Motion 2 and Soundtrack Pro. Since then I have had all sorts of problems. I can open DSP 3, but not any projects. I can see the interface, but I can't access anything, it's like the program froze. My toolbar at the top of the interface is also not present. I've tried reinstalling every program (FCP, DSP, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, and Compressor) but I am still having the same issues. I can also not get compressor to even open. I just bounces once on the dock and the tower sounds like it starts to do something but then it just sits there. The export to compressor command is also greyed out in FCP. Soundtrack Pro and Motion also seem to be acting quirky when I open them, but I haven't really used them yet, so it could be normal. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
    Andy

    Thanks for the suggestion. It did help. Why didn't that download when I would do the software update? Everything seems to be working now except for Compressor. It still just bounces once and then sits there. It is still greyed out in FCP as an export option. I guess I should take this question to the compressor discussion page, but if you have any other ideas I would gladly accept them. Thanks for your help so far. I am at least another step closer to having a working system again.

  • Changed icloud username and password can't access other devices

    I have three devices from which I use the same iTunes and ICloud account. I changed my username and password on the accounts yesterday. Now I am only able to get it to work on my IPhone 5S. My daughter's IPhone 4 and my IPad will not accept the new passwords. I can't access FaceTime or IMessage on those devices as it keeps prompting me that it is incorrect and to reset. If I reset, it won't work on my IPhone 5S. Help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Can't access other computer on Windows 8.1 based VPN

    Hi,
    I have a computer in my office, and my laptop at home.
    I want to be able to access resources at my office when I'm at home.
    Both computers are Windows 8.1 based, and in both I'm the Admin.
    I've successfully created a VPN connection. I've configured my office router to allow PPTP 1793 port connections.
    I've configured the Office computer as the VPN server, and successfully connected to it when I was at home.
    I was expecting to see the office computer as part of the network , but unfortunately I can't get to see that computer when I'm at home.
    I was searching the web for solution. I've found a possible solution, which didn't help me - to set Network to be Private, in Windows settings via registry or network policy, but that didn't help.
    How can I access my office computer, when I am at home?
    Thanks!
    Amir.

    You may also need to verify the network settings of your VPN connection. Check the IP address assigned to your VPN adapter and to the remote computer (VPN server). Verify that you can access the remote computer by IP address (\\x.x.x.x) in File Explorer.
    VPN connections often use a separate subnet and IP range and thus computers detected across this adapter are not seen by network discovery. You will need to enter the computer name (if DNS is working over the VPN link) or IP address to access the remote
    computer.
    Also consider that when a VPN connection is established the client is effectively joining the server network, not the other way around.

  • Open Directory users can't access shares

    Greetings all.
    I apologize if this has been covered, but I couldn't find a search term that would locate the issue.
    I have a 10.5.8 Server running on a MDD dual 1Ghz G4. I have it set up as an OD Master and providing time services, DNS, file sharing, portable home directories and calendaring for a small workgroup of 7 computers. At least that's the idea when it's functional.
    It is behind a NAT and only serves the local network.
    Until I have the user's data all transferred from local directories to portable home directories, I need to make it so that the users can access the shares.
    In testing, when I try to access a share, I get an error message that the login failed because the username or password was invalid.
    However, when I go look at the Password Service log, the user was authenticated and in good standing.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    John

    maybe some additional information or rephrasing might help.
    I have users and groups set up with ACLs on the shares that are set up with automount over NFS. The shares should also be available via appleshare, but not automount.
    The users are configured now with Portable Home Directories.
    The client computers are bound to the Open Directory Master on which the shares reside.
    The server runs network time services and the client computers use that for their time service.
    The server also runs DNS, and the client computers use that DNS.
    Users can log into their Portable Home Directories ok.
    Users can not log into shares via "connect to server" as it says that the username/password is invalid, even though the password service log says that the user was authenticated and in good standing.
    Users can see the NFS automount shares at /Network/Servers/Library (where it is supposed to be), but they cannot write, even though the ACL gives the user account permission to do so.
    For the permissions on the automount, I can't tell if the user is not being detected as the authenticated user, and is therefore being given "everyone" permissions, or if the ACL is not working on the mount and so the user is being given ""everyone" permissions.
    Anyone have any idea how I can find out?
    As to why a user can't log in via "connect to server" I'm clueless.
    Thank you,
    John

  • Have Multiple Sites.  Now Only LAST Updated Website Can Be Accessed!

    Using updated .Mac account and iWeb '08, I have started using a personal domain name with three subdomains, one for each of my websites.
    PROBLEM. Only the last updated website works. The other two can't be accessed. Prior to using a personal domain name, this strategy worked fine
    The new personal domain/subdomain names look like this:
    http://www.personaldomain.com/Subdomain_Name1/Welcome.html
    http://www.personaldomain.com/Subdomain_Name2/Welcome.html
    http://www.personaldomain.com/Subdomain_Name3/Welcome.html
    Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.

  • Can't open Aperture and can't access first aid dialog -- fixed by deleting .plist file

    Friends,
    I have the latest updated version of Aperture running on an imac i7 and mountain lion.  When I try to open Aperture I receive an error message that says the library can't be opened/program quit unexpectedly.  Eventually it asks me if I want to repair the data base -- I say yes.  It runs the repair routine, but the problem remains.  I am unable to access the first aid dialog by cmd./option clicking on the library -- I receive the same error messages. 
    However, I am able to open the library in iphoto, so something is working right. 
    Any ideas?  I suppose I could uninstall/reinstall the program, but since I loaded it from a DVD, that would be cumbersome (unless everything's been transferred to the app store).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    As I said above, you do not need your DVDs at all. You can download the Trial from here:
    Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    That will install Aperture 3.1, after you moved your current Aperture to the Trash - see my post above. To upgrade from 3.1. go to the Apple menu - software update (this will redirect to the AppStore and you should be able to use it this way)- or use the download at the support page:
    Aperture 3.4
    Regards
    Léonie
    Added: don't even try to open the Aperture 3.1 application after installing - it will not be able to open your current library - update immediately to aperture 3.4.

  • Time Machine only shows "Today". Can't access old stuff but no errors

    Maybe I am missing something but I plugged in an external HD and the first time machine went well. It does its thing each hour but when I go into time machine all I see is Today/Now with no ability to restore anything or anything older than today. I know it has older stuff since yesterday it said the same thing and it has taken the proper space on my external hard drive.

    It does sound like you're using a networked attached TM backup device wrt the disk image mounting on your Desktop. This is the case when people have hacked the system to be able to employ a USB2 device to their AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    In the case of the dmg image - when it's mounted via doing a Back Up Now quickly invoke the TM browser and you should immediately see all the TM backups/snapshots. If you keep the TM browser active even after the Back Up Now has completed then browsing will still be possible. However, once you terminate the TM browser you will be back to not being able to use it unless you do another Back Up Now. This is the rather cumbersome method that exists today with networked and AEBS connected USB2 devices, and clearly one of the reasons why Apple pulled the use of networked and AEBS connected Volumes from their web site one week before releasing Leopard GM on Oct 26.

  • I get a connection timed out error when trying to connect to the itunes store, if I have pending downloads they show up and I can download, also I was able to access my account, yet I can't access other parts of the store, I am in greece on a macbook pro

    I am from the states and am in Greece on vacation.  I have a good wifi connection yet keep getting a connection timed out error when I try to access the itunes store.  It is funny because pending downloads show up in the cue, and they download no problem.  I can also open my account.  When I try to go the the movies or music section of the stor though it just times out.  I tried updating to the latest itunes software and restarting, also I checked all the proxy boxes in the network section of the settings then unchecked them all and restarted and it keeps doing the same thing.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to AD!
    There's been plenty of posts about Norton & the removal tool here. Unfortunately many folks seem to not even know it comes pre-installed on most PCs! Even a trial version, never used or long since expired can cause problems - and not just with iTunes.
    Anyone with a Dell, HP, Gateway EEE PC, Asus ..... what Windows PC manufacturer does NOT have this junk software pre-installed?
    Almost all of them have made deals with Symantec to pre-install it.
    Horrible, horrible software.
    Anyway, glad you finally solved your problem.
