LR2.2 will not open catalogue after upgrade

I have been using LR2.2 (OS X - latest, on Unibody MacBook 2.4Ghz) for a few weeks, and found it an improvement. I have put my 1000 Christmas photos on it for the moment, in a temporary catalogue.
I have just tried to open my old LR1.4.1 catalogue, containing about 30,000 images. It appeared to upgrade the catalogue OK, but failed to do a backup (quoting disc space or permissions as possible causes, both of which are untrue as far as I can see). Then it said it could not open because of a problem switching modules.
I have deleted it and tried again a second time, allowing LR2 to create its own new folder for the new cat, but it still doesn't like it.
For a x.2 release, I am rather unimpressed. If I cannot open my old catalogue with all its keywords and collections, there is no point in upgrading to LR2.
Any solutions, or do I just save money and stick with what I have?

I can't be expressing myself very well. LR is completely unable to do anything. It has not frozen: I still have File-Edit-Window-Help menus which pull down immediately. Mouse-rollover of the modules make them change colour, and the double monitor panel actually sort of works.
But apart from that I can't get any response. (Note I have been using LR2.2 with a new catalogue for a few weeks, and have used LR1 from the start, so I know how to use the software, broadly speaking.)
Tab does nothing. And there is no way of getting further than the screen shots I just posted.
I will look into deleting the plist file.

  • IPhoto library contains lots of gb but will not open pictures after upgrade to iPhoto ´11

    Upgraded from iPhoto ´08 to iPhoto ´11 (9.5.1) and to OS Maverick (10.9.1).
    In "Finder" the library still seem to contain lots of gigabytes of data, but when iPhoto open the library it reads 0 photos. I have tried rebuilt (option+cmd key when opening iPhoto), iPhoto library manager, I have purchased aperture which acts just like iPhoto. Quite a few pictures missing, starting to become desperate - anyone with other ideas? Any help appreciated!
    Thomas

    Give this a try:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    If Word failed to launch in Guest, then you need to re-install Office.

    gj,
    Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 will not open, I just upgraded to it.

    Firefox will not open. I have been to the task manager over and over and stopped the already running firefox, no help. I just upgraded to the new 5.x.x, and now it will not open ever.

    You may need to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing the latest Firefox.<br />
    In case you still have problems after installing then check your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox will not open up after i restored to default settings

    i recently restored firefox to default settings on my profile on windows xp computer now firefox will not load on my profile but does on my fathers profile.whats up???????????

    Hi jonbeme,
    Thank you for your question. I understand after you reset Firefox, that Firefox will not open up on one of the accounts on this computer.
    This is what happens when Firefox is Reset [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems].
    To test to see if the problem is the profile, use the Profile Manager to create a new profile. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] If the problem goes away, you can then move your bookmarks and other important settings into the new profile.

  • Clickbox will not open file after published

    Good morning,
    I am working on a project where we are quizzing users.  They must refer to a PDF docuemnt as part of the decision making process.  I have added a click box that allows users to click to open the PDF docuement.  Of course, when I publish it, I get the warning to make sure the files are exported.  So, I copy and paste the two files into the output folder and uploaded it to my personal sharepoint site to test.  Of course when I try to run it in a web environment, the file will not open.  I cannot figure out what else I need to do to get these files to open after publishing.  The Help file is worthless around this and I did some searches and have not found anything on the expert boards from Rod or Lilly.  I am kinda at a loss. I could upload the files to our LMS and just point to the UR but I don't like that when the location changes.
    Any thoughts?
    Eric

    What was the format of the link to the PDF that you used in your Captivate file?

  • Safari will not open, even after reboot

    I have been having all sorts of problems with my iMac since installing Mavericks (Gmail integration was freezing everything, Maps just didn't work).
    The latest is that Safari just will not open, period. I have rebooted several times and even reinstalled OS X via the Cmd+R on reboot, nothing. It hangs upon opening and needs a Force Quit. When restarting again, it asks if you want to reopen windows and it makes no difference if you say Yes or No.
    Any ideas on what to do?

    Try deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Not installing 2.0 upgrade. 1.41 will not open either after install

    I had successfully loaded 2.0 on another machine.  upon installing 2.0 on a 2nd computer which also housed 1.4.1, the installation went through what seemed successfull also but....when trying to open 2.0 through the shortcut icon, or .exe file in the folder, or Program>open, nothing would happen....My 1.4.1 version would also NOT open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 1.4.1 and tried loading 2.0 unsuccessfully.
    One thing that I did note was the fact that NO serial number display window came up as did my other installation upgrade to 2.0.  Would this be computer related?  I also did note that after copying files,  that 2.0 install did NOT remove old files?  Once 2.0 was uninstalled,  1.4.1 continued to work properly but not vice versa.
    No error messages, not a glitch on install....Just NOTHING will open in either application once upgrade is installed.....  Once the icon/exe file is clicked...the application seems like it wants to open and then just doesn't do a thing!!
    Once again....this worked on another computer without issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Could NOT find this problem in search mode.
    Regards,

    Check the following.
    LR by default creates a catalog file in your pictures folder. e.g. .....>pictures>Lightroom>Lightroom Catalog.lrcat. While LR is open it also creates a file .lrcatlock file which prevents the catalog file for being accessed by any other user. The lock file is deleted when LR is shut down. If LR closes abnormally the lock file remains and will prevent the program from booting.
    With LR off check the sub folder in your pictures folder and see if there is a "Lightroom Catalog.lrcatlock" file present and delete it. Then try and boot the program.

  • Workspace webapp does not open up after upgrade to EPM11.1.2.2

    Hi All, After upgrading EPM11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 the Workspace does not open up on IE8/9. Note that HSS works fine.

    Anyone has faced a similar issue?
    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Before the upgrade it, HSS+Workspace+EAS+APS used to run on OHS. I have now configured all the managed servers to run on Embedded WebLogic server, so we are no longer using the 19000 OHS (web server) port.
    I try to access Workspace from port 28080 as follows: http://foundation-server.company.com:28080/workspace/index.jsp
    I have successfully used the same EPM11.1.2.2 upgrade configuration in DEV and QA and workspace opens up on 28080 (though there are issues with it running on IE9..  but that seems to be an isolated issue). So I will look for duplicate Workspace entries in the registry  report ..
    Thanks,
    Kent
