LR5 upgraded catalog is only giving LR4 Develop module options - help!

After a successful upgrade to LR5 from LR4 on an old catalog I'm encountering an unusual situation:
when I use the Develop module the palette options are not LR5.
Instead of Shadows, for example, my LR5 catalog is showing Recover and Fill Light from LR4.
I'm working on a MacPro tower and the catalog in question is on an external hard drive.
I've checked the upgrade status and it is definitely a LR5 upgraded catalog.
I've upgraded many catalogs over the years from LR1 to now and this is the first time I've
seen this issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

You are working with images that were processed with an older version of Lightroom and process 2010. Lightroom honors those previous adjustments and retains the 2010 process. To change to the new 2012 process go to the calibration tab in the develop module and make the appropriate choice.

Develop module options just disappeared

I'm new to Lightroom - just downloaded v.4 a few days ago and love it. Just now I installed OnOne presets (free pack recommended by Lightroom website). When I opened Lightroom after installing, my Develop module options had changed - few options, no "shadow" option (now it's called "recovery"), etc. I uninstalled OnOne but problem is the same as before. Any ideas? Thanks!

Your images are in Process Version 2010. Change them to 2012 for the new tools.

LR4 & Develop Module crashing with amber rectangle

2010 MBP w Snow Leopard (hard drive) & Lion 10.7.3 (SSD) - problem occurs on both installations
--removed prior LR installation (application, app support files in root & user Libraries, Preferences)
--made sure there are no plug-ins (even disabled PS CS5 plug-ins)
--transferred the handful of user fonts to disabled fonts (there was nothing exotic)
--have repaired permissions
--run Disk Warrior
--reinstalled LR
--created a new user account
All of the above to no avail. The strange thing is that I was able to import about 113K files from Bridge and work with them for several days. I did three new shoots which Lightroom handled cleanly. Now I can't access the files to complete editing them. The only intervening change that I can think of is an otherwise smooth upgrade to 10.7.3 using the combo-updater. Yet the problem also exists on my 10.6.8 partition.
As an experiment, I tried clicking on the Develop module in an empty catalog and noticed similar pre-crashing behavior by LR. The entire preview strip (in this case, empty) became highlighted with a solid amber rectangle, although LR didn't crash. I don't recall this happening when LR was functional a few days ago. Here's a screenshot. Is it the images in the catalog that are causing the crashing? If so, what can one do to access them?
I can provide diagnostic logs if they are helpful. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've read a number of threads on this issue. The one thing that I haven't been able to do is to turn off automatic CA correction which requires being able to use the Develop module.
I'd like to explore this product but am at a loss as to how to proceed. Perhaps the reports of frequent crashing represent a minority of the beta testers such that over the last month, Adobe has gotten a lot of useful feedback to refine Lightroom 4.
My individual experience, having lost the better part of two days to this, however, suggests that LR4 isn't close to being stable enough for beta testing purposes. It has gotten silly. I'm returning to Bridge until the smoke clears.

Problems with LR4 - Develop Module - Edit in CS5

I've just upgraded from LR3 to 4
When I make adjutments on a RAW or JPEG file in the develop module, and then send it to PS5 for more work, not all the adjustments show up in CS5.
Example, I cropped an image, and then made local exposure adjustments using the 'brush' tool.
Exported to CS5 using 'Photo' 'Edit in', and the image goes to CS but only the crop adjustment is showing.
I've done all the updates on CS, but this is a pain.
I'm running a MAC with Snow Leopard OS
Can I uninstall the upgrade and reinstall..? Would that be any use...??

I was greatly confused by all this for a while, but think I finally figured it out, thanks to CSS Simon and others here (I'm new to Lightroom, having only used Ps/ACR previously).
What happens is that "render using Lightroom" doesn't involve ACR at all. It goes straight to Photoshop (and puts the rendered file alongside the raw). The other option, "open anyway", renders the file through ACR. But ACR 6.6 and before can't read PV2012, that's why you need to install the ACR 6.7 Release Candidate, which can (although it doesn't give you access to the 2012-specific sliders).
Another thing that tripped me up at first was that no Lightroom edits at all would show up in Bridge or ACR, even with ACR 6.7 installed. I finally discovered that I had to set Lightroom catalog settings to "automatically write metadata changes to xmp" - otherwise all Lightroom edits would just exist in the Lightroom catalog and not be visible to other applications.
This is of no importance if you only use Lightroom, but it certainly is if you have a mixed workflow with Photoshop and Bridge.

Bug? In LR5 Mac, Develop module, option+slider undocks right panel!

Holding down option key (LR5 Mac) with slider causes entire right panel to undock
In the Develop module, I used to be able to hold down the option key while adjusting a slider, giving some extra features in the panel section. (To see the extent of masking in the Detail panel group, in white/black, for example)
Now, the entire panel undocks and I can't slide the slider, instead the panel moves around in th LR5 workspace. While I am unintentionally moving the panel, there is a blue border that appears around the panel. See the screenshot. Has anyone had this issue, and if so, were you able to fix it?

In develop module, Details panel group (sharpening), I hold down option key and attempt to move any of the sliders. Instead of the view changing as described in this page: http://laurashoe.com/2012/11/26/develop-module-secret-lightroom-powers-revealed-the-altopt ion-key/, the whole panel becomes undocked and moves in the LR workspace.
While its moving, there is a blue border around the panel window (as I show in my screenshot).
The slider does not move, the whole panel becomes undocked. In the screenshot, I was attempting to slide the Sharpening/Detail slider.
I am working with OS Mavericks, LR 5.3

Lightroom 3.5 still has ACR 4.6 as Profile in Develop Module - please help!

Hi there! I am hoping that someone can please help me out, as i'm racking my brain trying to figure this out.
I have Lightroom 3.5 - Photoshop CS5 Extended and both are up to date but I'm trying to get my ALR to use the latest Camera Raw 6.5 but it's not a selection on the drop down menu.
My camera profiles are there for Nikon D700 but i'm using presets that use ACR and it's old. -- i've removed Lightroom (an unistaller would be super helpful adobe!!!) but it still remembers my old catalogs etc...
I'm searching but i don't know what else to do... any help would be amazing. thank you!
J

J,
The profile "ACR 4.6" you see has nothing to do with the ACR version you're using. If you're working with LR 3.5, you're using ACR 6.5 technology.
Adobe used to name the profiles after the ACR release number when a profile version was first introduced. So the profile ACR 4.6 is a profile first introduced together with ACR 4.6, but used by ACR 6.5 in your case.
So it's just another version of the D700 profiles available to you.

Old Develop Module in new upgrade LR5

I am trying out the 30 day LR 5 trial to see if I would like to upgrade. For some reason my Develop Module contains the same tools as my older version, though I know I shouldn't even see a "brightness" tool... How do I fix this and get the new tools so I can continue my 30 day trial?

You are probably viewing photos edited in Process Version 2010.
Update the photos to PV 2012 and access the new tools
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/develop-module-options.html
Be warned that there are big differences between PV2010 and PV2012 and you may not always like the changes.
http://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-lightroom-process-versions
So it's up to you whether you want to convert all existing photos to PV2012 in one step - or if you want to convert them one/several at a time.
New photos imported into LR5 will automatically be edited in PV2012 so there will be no conversion required and the tools in the Develop module will be the new ones as expected.

Problems after upgrading catalog from LR4 to LR5

After upgrading a LR 4 catalog to LR5, I moved some files around between sub folders. I then went to sync up the parent folder. The dialog box said that I would be importing 12,000 photos and deleting 12,000 missing photos. My folder structure for a ctalog is a parent folder named for the year and the sub folders with the date and shoot description. I was synchronizing the parent (year) folder. When it finished, the folder structure was correct and the photos were in their new(correct) folders. However, all of my LR4 adjustments that had been made in LR4 were gone. There was no history either. It was like I was importing for the first time.
I upgraded the original catalog again and the photos were in the original locations just like the first time I upgraded. I tried to sync an individual folder and it imported 50 new files and deleted 50 missing files. Again the LR adjustments were gone. Any suggestions on how to sync an upgraded catalog without losing my prior version adjustments?
Mac OS X 10.9.2
LR 5.3

Yes, synchronizing is not the tool you should be using in this case, when you move photos from one folder to another. The proper method is to reconnect your photos in Lightroom after you moved them via: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm. But your current catalog has lost its edit information, so this will not help on your current catalog. So ...
I hope you have a backup of the catalog file before you did the synchronization, or otherwise you will have to upgrade your LR4 catalog again. Open one of those and then reconnect as in the link.
As side advice, perhaps you might want to consider using an organizing technique that does NOT require moving phtoos/folders from here to there. You might want to consider using organizing and searching via keywords and captions and other metadata, which does not require moving photos, and does not require re-linking photos, and gives you the ability to place photos in more than one "category" (keyword), rather than with folders where a photo can be in at most one "category" (folder)

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

Cannot locate 'upgrade catalog' tab in LR4.2 file pulldown

I'm trying to bring PSE8 catalogs in to LR4.2 but I do not see the 'upgrade catalog' command in the file pulldown as shown in the LR4 tutorials.
Thanks in advance, Chris

did you try to import the images directly from disk? Does PSE actually have a catalogue?

LR5 upgrade but LR4 not loaded

I have LR4 but my SSD died. I bought LR5 upgrade while waiting for a new drive. Can I load LR5 upgrade version clean or do I need to reinstall LR4 and then use the upgrade software. Thanks

No, you don't need Lr4.
Each Lr update or upgrade is a stand-alone version, i.e. it is not a "patch" for the older version.
But as long as Lr4 is not installed you will be asked - during installation of Lr5 - to enter your Lr4 serial number. So have it handy.

LR5: Moving develop module sliders blurs the image for a moment

I'm evaluating Lightroom 5 during the 30 day trial and it's all cool except for this one big annoyance that I noticed immediately when trying to work on an image in Develop module. As stated in the title, moving any slider (exposure, highlights, noise reduction, etc.) causes the image to go very blurry for the duration of the slider movement. It goes immediately back to being sharp as soon as I stop moving the slider. This is super annoying, feels as though my eyes are going bad.
What's interesting is that the problem doesn't show up when I'm adjusting the Tone Curve directly, but it will get triggered if I'll expand and use the sliders underneath. So looks like a bug that only applies to sliders.
This doesn't happen at all in Lightroom 4.4, which I still have installed and can compare side-by-side.
As for the hardware, I'm using the 2013 Macbook Air with 1.3 GHz i5 CPU and 8 GB of RAM. The OS X version is 10.8.4 with all latest upgrades installed.
I've already tried optimizing the catalog, giving it more space (currently at 3 GB) and purging it. I'm not using Smart Previews, although I've turned them on for a moment to see if the problem persists with them on - it does. I've also re-rendered the 1:1 preview for the specific image I've been trying it on. Btw, the file is a NEF from Nikon D300 and I'm using the 2012 process (as was the case with LR4). Not sure what else might be relevant here.

If this is indeed intentional, is there any way to turn it off? I would much rather it had taken a bit longer to update the photo, than to have the image switch to this "pixel doubled" version.
Also, this doesn't happen at all in LR 4.4 on the same machine. However, if it indeed isn't a bug, this probably means LR5 requires more resources to process a photo than 4.4. This would be somewhat disappointing, given that LR5 was supposed to be faster than its predecessor.
