Major error that doesn't allow usage (module error?)

This problem occurred somewhere along updating to the new Leopard on my Macbook Pro 15" Duo Core. This problem occurred on 1.3 and is made worse in 1.3.1
When I start the program, I am brought into the Develop module. Either by pressing E, the top buttons, or the shortcuts, there is literally no way of me exiting this module into the Library, Slideshow, Print, etc., all it does is give me an error message that says "An error occurred when attempting to change modules."
I tried reinstalling lightroom, but that didn't help. I'm thinking there is a way to completely reset Lightroom so it would restart in the Library module, rather than the Develop? Is there some way to completely uninstall? This has really hampered me the past few days, any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a good list of possible work arounds here:
Error changing modules | Lightroom
This is what fixed it (I think. I hope!) for me:
Solution 5: Set correct permissions on Lightroom folder inside Application Support
NOTE: Use this solution if you are asked for your serial number after you relaunch Lightroom after getting this error.
The Lightroom folder inside Application Support could have the wrong permissions preventing Lightroom from writing to it which can cause this error.
Navigate to the following folder: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
Highlight the Lightroom folder and chose File > Get Information
Under Sharing & Permission, verify that your have Read & Write Privileges. If not, click the padlock icon at the lower right, enter your password when prompted, then click the Read only entry and select Read & Write.
Important: (Mac OS) Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you need access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

This may seem obvious, but presumably you have authorized the MacBook Air in iTunes?

Another "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" error

Hello all:
After using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Mac OSX trouble free for the past 6 months, I opened up Lightroom today and received the following error: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." I had not made any changes in between when it worked normally and when the error started to occur. I beleive the last thing I did before this error occurred was to go into the Print Module.
Other information--I keep all my RAW .NEF files on an external Firewire (800) 750 GB drive. This is on Mac OS X 10.5 running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3 and also with 1.4.1. I'm running an iMac 20" with dual-core 2.2 Ghz Intel processors and 4 GB of RAM. I have around 25k images total.
When I noticed this problem, I was on Lightroom 1.3. I immediately upgraded to 1.4.1, which did not solve the problem. I have also tried many suggestions in the forums including uninstalling the application and removing the .plist file.
I thought I had come up with a solution by creating a new catalog, then importing the former into it. While this seems to work immediately after the import process, as soon as I close it, the problem manifests itself again.
More details that may or (likely) may not help:
- Going to the Develop and Print Modules gives me no problems. However, when I click on Library, Slideshow, or Web, I see the error.
- I upgraded my Mac to the latest patch level after observing this error to no avail.
So it looks like my choices are to create a new file and reimport every single time, or lose all of the work I've done for the past 6 months on thousands of images.
Can anyone please help???? I promise to post the solution when we fix this darn thing so others may benefit. I'd be happy to run through any troubleshooting that y'all would suggest outside of switching to a Canon.
Thanks!!!!
Matt

I'd first check for the existence of a file ending in .lock, which should be present when LR is in use, but if it exists when LR is quit, it can cause problems, and should be deleted.
Please post back your results.

TS1398 I'm on a public network that doesn't allow client-to-client communication.

I'm trying to make my Mom's iPad work with the Epson Stylus NX430 ("Small in One") printer I just bought from Apple, with the iPad 2. She's in a retirement community with free WiFi, but the service provider prevents client-to-client communication. So, I can get the printer registered to have internet access, but the iPad doesn't see it.
If I connect a router to the public service, and get the iPad to connect to the router, that may work. Or, I can get a router with a USB connection for the printer, one that acts as a print server.
Does anyone have experience with these configurations? Will an Apple router do this, connecting to the public WiFi,
If I do this, it creates another problem: my Mom will have to select the local network when in her room and wanting to print. Because the public router names are all the same, I don't think I can get the iPad to forget the local public access point (in favor of her router), and still have it remember the other public ones, though I'll have to try it. My Mom isn't going to take to this technical issue. She's doing fine with the iPad for mail, solitare, etc., but at 87 the technical stuff will cause her trouble.

Some printers support ad hoc printing. That is the printer can be configured to communicate with an iPad without the need for a router. Perhaps such a printer would be of help.
Some of the Internet comments on the Epson Stylus NX430 indicate it doesn't support ad hoc printing. You could check in the user setup manual.
How do you switch between networks on the iPad? I'd assume a printer on a router would be the same. Perhaps you could configure your router to be a relay for http traffic and route the print traffic to your iPad. That's what a router is far anyway. Whether you configure a consumer grade router like this is another story.
Can you return the printer & get one that supports ad hoc printing? Might be safer in the long run. Printing is one of the big hassles for my parents. It's usually the ink has run out on the printer. You may still have to switch networks to print.

I have Acrobat Pro 9 with the serial number. How do I stop the error that will not allow this?

I have lost my hard drive three times and now my Acrobat Pro 9 will not activate with my serial number because it was an upgrade and the error wants the serial number from the previous version. I do not have this information. Please advise, I only have 6 days left before I am locked out. Thanks.

Hi,
Please contact Customer Care at 8008336687 and they would be able to unlock the serial number for you.
Since you said you owned a previous version and you lost the serial number, you can log on to your Adobe account online and check for purchased softwares.
Else if the software was registered the support agent would be able to retrieve that information with the email used to register the software.
Regards,
Ravi.

Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow. There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created.
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

My brand new iMac track pad reverted to a system preference option that doesn't allow gestures to work or be restored, any suggestions?

I purchased a brand new IMac 21 inch a few weeks ago and restored it to my macbook pro. A few days later the gestures on the track pad stopped working. After listening to the advice of apple support and wasting a number of hours without success, I decided to restore the computer to new and start fresh. The outcome was the track pad worked just fine. I noticed the system preferences track pad choice provided options that I didn't have before. All worked fine and of course from their I migrated apps and documents from my time machine. a few days later I plugged my ipod in and noticed the track pad was not working.
Having spent another two hours with apple support, they concluded they would call me back as they agreed that the system preferences setup for the trackpad had reverted to an older version.
I am not certain if migrating the apps folder had anything to do with this and am waiting to hear back. I am tempted to restore the machine to new again and see if that restores the track pad system preferences. If it does I will avoid migrating any files to see how long the track pad works. I have my docs, photos, and other critical folders backed up individually on a separate drive. Let me know if anyone has experienced a similar problem. Thanks!

Have you tried all of these?
1. Pressing the Eject key while opening the iMac.
2. Pressing the Eject key while closing down the iMac.
3. Holding down the Option key while restarting the iMac.
4. Using Disk Utility to try to Mount, Repair and Eject the disk.
5. Holding down the Mouse while restarting the iMac.
6. Pressing the O and F keys while closing down the iMac.
7. Opened Applications > Utilities >Terminal and typed in 'drutil tray eject'.

Downloading Update Failed - Internal Module Error

Trying to update my Nokia 6630, and each time it completes the 25mb download before giving me the error.
Downloading update failes
Internal module error
Is this because my phone is a a Vodafone fone, and therefore locked by their software to some description? Or is it a more sinister (or simpler) error?

IPhoto upgrade doesn't allow me to search backups

really disliking the iPhoto upgrade that doesn't allow me to search backups for specific pictures anymore. my time machine won't even let me import my entire library from a few months ago when i press restore. if i would have known iPhoto does not store files in a reachable way such as a master folder with .jpg and .mov files i never would have been using iPhoto for my personal photos.

That was removed about 5 years ago.
my time machine won't even let me import my entire library from a few months ago when i press restore.
That's a Time Machine problem and best asked on the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

That's exactly how it stores them so I have no idea why you say that.

When I try to update from CS5 menu, I get an error that they did not install

I am running CS5 on Windows 8.1. When I try to update from CS5 menu, it appears updates are downloading, but then I get an error that they did not install (no error number), and contact customer support. When I click on that I get a discussion about incorret serial number. I deactivated, then reactivated, get same results.

Yay! Finally got it to work.
Deactivated CS5 and uninstalled. Then reinstalled. Downloaded and installed AAM (took several tries before finally got it to work properly). Then download the updates individually and finally got to install using AAM.

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Despite it is claimed in Adobe forum that Lightroom is fully compatible with OS Maverics on my MacBook Air IT IS NOT. A message "an error occurred while attempting to change modules" appears and I cannot go any further. Can anyone help?

Despite it is claimed in Adobe forum that Lightroom is fully compatible with OS Maverics on my MacBook Air IT IS NOT. A message "an error occurred while attempting to change modules" appears every time I try to open Lightroom. This happened immediately after upgrading to Mavericks. On my doughter's same machine Lightroom works perfectly. Can anyone help?

Surely the Adobe forums are the place for help with Adobe applications. The fact that the problem doesn't occur on your daughter's machine suggests that it's not an issue with Mavericks but a local problem on your own machine.
