Major Lightroom problems

I am desperate to find a solution. I was importing photos into lightroom and during the process the entire computer froze. I restarted the computer to only have it get put in to recovery mode. After a dozen attempts to get it going again I finally got Window to load correctly. I then backed up my catalog to an external hard drive. I then opened light room only to have it freeze the computer and start the whole process of multiple restarts to get it working again. I decided to uninstall the program and re install it as thats usually the fix to a problem like this. But it has only made the problem worse.
Now the problem is the new installed lightroom is still not working, and now lightroom won't let windows uninstall the program, and with it installed it won't re install or change/repair the program.
I don't know what to do now. I have a bad program that won't let me remove it, and I can't repair it. I need some help (Prefered over the PHONE!) to get this fixed. I just bought lightroom 5 two weeks ago so I should be able to get phone or at the very least chat support.
This is a major problem, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

No error messages when I start it. Currently it wont even open, it just doesn't do anything. Literally I click on the icon and nothing happens. When I try to reinstall/fix it this is the error message.
Exit Code: 7

MAJOR Lightroom problem (blue on every image)

The image above says it all, EVERYTHING is blue in my whole catalog. Not a preset, I tried loading my backups to no avail. How do I fix this?
The original images are of course without any issues. It seems to only show the blue channel but have no clue how I revert back to normal view....please help me and thank you for your time

Your image requires a member login to the Lightroom Forums which I am not a member, but from your description it sounds as though you have the shadow-clipping overlay turned on. There is also a red highlight clipping overlay that is red.
One way to turn the clipping warnings on and off is by clicking on the little triangles at the left (shadow) and right (highlight) ends of the histogram at the top of the righthand panel. The J key is a shortcut for turning these on and off and perhaps that was pressed inadvertently.

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
and see for yourself what happends.

I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.

Major system problems, hanging up at startup.

I'm developing some major sytem problems with my G4 Mac. It all seemed to start with a jumping cursor and then a dying mouse. I could not get the Mac to startup with several trys. It wouldn't even start up off of my external drive. I would get the first four icons in the upper right hand corner of the screen and the it would hang. I tried all of the usual fixes- permissions, disk utiliy, Disk Warrior, zapping pram. I finally started unplugging external items and getting back to original Mac- switching the firewire port in the back of my Lacie external drive helped for awhile, but now I'm getting the jumping cursor again and fearing I'll get a hangup again. Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? If not, can you point me somewhere for instructions on how to reinstall the system software? I have already installed a clean system on my external drive. Once I reinstall all of my apps there, and get it running properly, can I move all of that to my internal HD somehow? My original system disks for this computer is Jaguar 10.2 if that helps.
Thanks for your help,
Dick Skover

Dick,
Some observations and notes.
Have you tried using a different mouse, or changing
the port it is plugged into?
Yes, I tried and am using a inexpensive Logitech optical mouse. The one that came with the computer seemed to get very eratic and then not work at all. I did try plugging into different ports and that didn't make a difference.
How did you upgrade from Jaguar 10.2.x to
Panther 10.3.9?
I upgraded the simplest way, I guess. I had read about more complex ways to do it at the time Panther came out, but also heard you could do a simple upgrade. I don't remember the exact steps I used. Boy, this is way more complex than my original Mac in 1984.
What size is your Hard Drive, and how much space is
available? I should say I have quite a few applications.
My HD is 75 Gig with 17 Gig available.
Is your installed RAM original or added?
Yes, it came installed when I purchased it: 1.5 Gig
In one post you wrote "My original system disks
for this computer is Jaguar 10.2..."
I heard something back when Panther came out that the fact I started with 10.2, didn't allow me to do certain things like archive and backup.
But in another, you wrote "Yes, my original
Panther disk and then updated everything via
Internet."
Please clarify.
When I decided to install a clean system on my external HD I just used my Panther 10.3 disk- I didn't go all the way back to 10.2
"Yes, Disk Warrior found some problems, I don't
know exactly what they were."
Were the errors corrected? Have you rerun Disk
Warrior, to see if they are indeed repaired?
Actually I ran DW today again on the internal HD and it came up with a couple of problems that it said it repaired. Should I keep running it until it doesn't indicate any problems?
A couple other things you can check.
Open System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account >
Startup Items.
Is there any item in there that you are not familiar
with, or did not put there yourself?
Yes I did try that- I had a repair person come in to help me. He did point that out and we deleted items that didn't need to be there. What he suggested did help for a week, but the problem came back. I called him again, but he said the only thing left to do was re-install.
From the Utilities folder, start Activity
Monitor.
Select Active Processes.
Watch for whatever process is hogging %CPU.
Yes he ran activity monitor also- there didn't seem to be programs hogging the processor although we deleted those that look familiar.
I also have a question about the title screems that pop up on start up. In the past I used to have several things being checked as it went through the process, now I get welcome to Macintosh and that's it. I seem to remember indications that Macaroni was running, but no longer see any of that. I do have Macjanitor also and thought that one of those automatically runs at startup?
I will run pseudo daily, weekly and monthly tasks now. Is this something that Macjanitor does, or should I run the maintenance scripts periodicaly?

10.4.9 - Major audio problems with digital audio

I have a Digital XMPCR radio with Edirol MA-20D Digital speakers
I now have major audio problems, the audio is garbled and doesn't sound as strong. Kinda like a FM radio in a car that is loosing signal when you are traveling.
I use this XMPCR for a couple of hours a day and had no problems this morning prior to installing the update.
I have a XMPCR that was modified for Toslink/Digital connection. I connect the XMPCR to my Mac Pro 2.66 with toslink cables and connect my Edirol MA-20D digital speakers with toslink cables. I use Amoeba's "LineIn" for audio pass through.
I thought it might me the FTDIUSBSerialDriver so I reinstalled it, did not fix the problem.
I also have a real bad "buzzing" sound going on in the background. When I quit JXM (the application for changing channels on the XMPCR), the "buzzing" goes away but I have a rapid ticking sound coming out of the speakers until I quit LineIn.
Anyone else have any problems with their digital audio input/outputs?

I dont use the digital XMPCR radio, but I use Digital Performer to record audio and MIDI and I use exclusively the Built-In Audio input and Output and everything is working fine after the 10.4.9 Upgrade.

Major iPhone Problem

Hello,
I'm having a major iPhone problem!!!
My phone crashed yesterday and wont turn back on or charge since then. It will start up with the apple logo and then the screen goes dark, will only stay on for about 30 secs. It's an original not jailbroken or anything like that. iTunes won't recognize it at all, I tired resetting it, hard resetting it, a different cord, basically everything and NOTHING works!
Please help! Thank you!

try doing a hard restart - hold home + power until the phone shuts down... then connect it to your puter.
you may have too many things running in the background on the phone... i have heard fetch & push can drain your battery like you experienced... i don't use them, i get my mail when i open the application.

After Int Install OS10.5.8 on PowerPC G4 having major system problems (created user to verify) CS4 apps go non responsive

Ok no difference, I don't get any drive errors that seem significant or numerous, sometimes I don't get any at all, the disk always verifies and I haven't had to run a repair on it yet. I've gotton one or two drive errors, I'll save them next time I run either DU or DW.... however with permissions, there are a lot and they all fix (except: see below: Last 3: ACL errors are always there) but as I keep having to do force quits and system re boots they keep coming back; posted them below IDK if this will help you to help me, LOL... but figured it couldn't hurt, the ones below are re-occuring I know i've seen them b4. . . Don't know if this makes a difference but on initial install I had several font conflicts w/system fonts, I renamed suitcases and that error message hasn't come back . . . but do you think this could be a font issue . . . I have like 12,000 fonts of which a couple hundred are ususally always active . . . IDK it doesn't make sense to me it would be, but you never know... just a shot in the dark
I also saved my last PS crash report and it was like 100 Pages long, I've never seen one that long, I make a pdf of it and post link to my idisk, if its something that you can interpet.

MAJOR EXPORT PROBLEMS! PLEASE HELP!

Hello. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I'll try to be brief. I'm having a horrible problem with exporting my films. I work on a PC. To me, that shouldn't matter, but here's what's been happening. I shoot my films at 23.976 frames on the 5DMII and the 7D. My film got into a film festival. They asked for a 720p mp4 file. OK, no problem. I went under H.264, I exported an HD File, with 23.976 frame rate and I checked both boxes for Max Render and I set a 2-pass. I exported and when I played the vid back through Windows Media Player, it felt fine.
BUT, at the festival this past weekend, I was horrified to discover that my film, and no other films, was having a major sound problem. The audio was about half a second ahead of the footage, so they kind of looked like they were speaking correctly, but their dialogue would finish right before their mouths would. Super embarrassing. All I noted when I saw the tech booth was that they were using a mac laptop hooked to the projector, so I assume maybe it was quicktime they were running? Also, I believe they put all of the vids together as one file so it would run together as one block, but still, I believe most of the other films were shot at 23.976 frames as well, so that shouldn't matter.
I went home, thinking maybe I just wasn't being diligent enough and I needed to really look at the sound. Maybe it was off. But I keep all of the temp tracks, the sound from the dslr, on track 1 and then just mute it. I unmuted and played both tracks, and there's no difference. No echo, no weird delays, they're both perfectly synched up.
I've been having this problem for a long time but this was the first time that I REALLY could see the problem, probably because it was on such a big screen. Just my opinion, but I've found that most festivals are running MAC software and it seems like the vids I export seem to have an audio problem being played through mac programs. Another instance, briefly. I did a screening for a feature I edited. I exported an HD mp4 and put it on a friends MAC. The sound was off when we pre-screened it. I have a PC Toshiba laptop, I ran the vid through windows media player, and it felt much better, so we screened using my laptop and it went fine. But what does that mean?
Has anyone else had this problem? It's not just festivals too. I have a subscription with Vimeo, but every short film that I put up there has some kind of an audio drift problem. It's always minor so some people see it and some people don't, but I'm certain the vids are fine on my timeline. Do I need to export using something else? A different setting? As a quicktime vid? That last question seems kooky since any tutorial I've seen is usually wanting h.264, so I just don't know.
Please let me know if there's anything I can try or if you just have an opinion. Thanks very much.

3.1 update, major audio problems!

so i updated to 3.1 today and just noticed some major audio problems:
1. when I answer a phone call I can't hear anything through the ear piece, but the caller can hear me. i can only hear them when I put them on speaker. same thing with voicemail.
2. the ringer works when I get a call, but text, voicemail and email chimes/tones aren't audible at all.
3. the built in speaker no longer works when playing iTunes music, YouTube, or games. i can only hear audio when plugging in headphones.
all my settings are the same as before the update, but despite adjusting the volume controls/rocker none of the audio settings are working properly. i also reset/restarted the phone (home + sleep buttons) a few times, but no use. what the he'll is going on?
Message was edited by: d.c.1

I've got the same thing- from the speakers, no ring tone, games don't have speaker audio, no email or text audio-- except with the earphones. iTunes music plays thru the speakers but not games or afore-mentioned items. l've never had a problem before. also reset and restored- still the same.

MAJOR FONT PROBLEM - GREEK FONTS - GREEK SYSTEM

Dear All
I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be able to use Greek fonts. Recently upgraded to OSX Version 10.4.3
However I'm facing major font problems in applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida Grande function properly.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
This only applies to OSX Tiger. Panther seemed to be working fine for this, in Freehand.
I work as a graphic designer and it is very frustrating when I'm only limited to very few greek fonts even on a GREEK SYSTEM!!!
By the way: I tried all suggested methods on the forum such as: Greek keyboard layouts, verifying permissions, switching to System Greek Language, reinstalling Illustrator etc..
Is there anything else that i can do?
Pls help.. !

I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized
reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be
able to use Greek fonts.
Generally speaking, for problems with Rainbow's stuff you need to consult Rainbow. Apple itself does not produce a localized Greek system or the special add-ons that Rainbow provides to let you use non-Unicode Greek with older apps.
However I'm facing major font problems in
applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For
example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida
Grande function properly.
For an app like this you probably need to use Unicode Greek fonts. Those that come with Tiger are Lucida Grande, Helvetica, and Times. If you have MS Office 2004, you can also use Arial and Times New Roman and maybe Verdana from that app. Plus modern Adobe fonts like Myriad or Minion Pro. I suspect that legacy non-Unicode fonts will not work.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek
fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled
when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
I think Freehand is non-Uncode and probably needs the older fonts.
For problems with Adobe and Macromedia apps, you might also want to ask in their forums:

Major Reconnection Problems

Hey all,
An editor just emailed me the project file of a rough cut for a feature we're both working on, and I've been having pretty major reconnection problems. Despite the fact that we're working with exactly the same files on two identical drives, when I try to reconnect all the media I get the message:
+"The file does not have proper content to reconnect to "(clip name)" at time (timecode) in sequence "(sequence name".+
+Click "OK" to make this item independent and go to the next clip or "Cancel" to skip all clips from this file."+
When I click "OK" (which I have to do 200 times, as this problem reoccurs over and over with many different clips at many different points in time), it eventually reconnects.
However, though it appears that the clips have all successfully reconnected, the sync for the entire project is almost completely off. Sometimes it reconnects to the wrong part of the correct audio clip, sometimes it substitutes the incorrect clip altogether.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? It's been driving me crazy for weeks.

Stumbled upon these problems today. Final Cut Pro did not way want to reconnect the media to the capture scratch files. Only thing I did was I moved them to another drive.
What solved the problem: rename all scratch files by adding the extension '.mov'. Confirm they are now decent quicktime movies.
You might want to learn the single unix terminal command to do this for the entire batch at once.

Lightroom problems opening NEF files

I used Lighroom 2 and CS4 with no problems for a very long time and then decided to upgrade to Lightroom 3 and CS5 which was a big mistake.
I have had so many problems and don't know what to do.
Lightroom has trouble opening NEF files that I would like to edit in photoshop. I have spent so much time with Adobe Tech support with no improvement, tonight a senior tech spent three hours working with the program and cs5 and I still have problems. They make changes, things seem to be fine and when I restart the computer it goes back to the same issue. Tomorrow another tech will call but the days are going by and I'm not getting any work done. A program that is supposed to improve my workflow is turning into a major inconvenience.
Tonight the program seemed to be working fine for a while, I edited several images and just realized now that they are all corrupted and aren't usable.
In the past few days we trashed lightroom preferences, cs5 preferences, made sure Lightroom and Photoshop and camera RAW are updated. One night I uninstalled cs5 and installed a fresh copy (didn't install any plug-ins to make suer they are not the ones causing the problem), it was working great then I quit both programs and restarted the computer and back to square one, not being able to open a NEF file.
If the Adobe technician cannot solve the issue what are my options, should I go back to Lightroom2 or should I try Lightroom 3 with CS4?
Thanks,
Barbara

Barbara,
The purpose behind setting up a test catalog and new user is to try to find out where things are going wrong. If you do end up needing a new catalog, there are ways to keep your past work. You can import from your old catalog into your new catalog. You can save many of the settings directly into your images (JPEGs or TIFFs) or sidecars (raw files) by using Metadata>Save Metadata to File. If you do it the second way, you will lose things such as collections that cannot be saved. But before worrying about that, try the new user and we will work from there.
You may already know this, but no matter what you do, when you retouch an image in PS, you will be creating a new file. LR does not modify the originals, so a new TIFF will have to be created to save the retouched image. There is no way to save the retouching to a raw file.
As far as the number of catalogs to create, most people will be best served by having only one catalog. If you have more than one, you have to be organized and careful not to mix them up. We have seen a lot of problems caused by people accidently importing images into the wrong catalog and then getting concerned when their images disappeared. Also, it is difficult to search for images when they are in multiple catalogs.
I do use multiple catalogs. I have to be sure I don't show the wrong images at the wrong times. I do boudoir and glamour photography that is private and I have to be sure I don't show the images accidently to other clients. I set up a separate folder for each job and keep the catalog and images in that folder. After about a year, I burn a DVD of the images and catalog and archive it. I rarely have to return to a client's file after a year and never have to search across client files. I also have one large catalog for stock and personal work. I do need to search across all of those images. Until you are well-versed and comfortable with using LR, I would recommend keeping it to one catalog. You can easily split it up later if needed.
Since I have multiple catalogs I keep each catalog with its images for the sake of organization. My stock images (and catalog) are on an external drive. I have another external drive for client work. Each client job has a separate folder on that drive. The images and catalog for each job is kept in their job folder.

HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

I purchased CC Photoshop/Lightroom a little over a month ago , since then I have had photoshop crash on launch over and over asking me for a serial number so I looked around saw on adobe's site to change from english (America ) to English ( international) , I did that and it fixed that problem but then I could not update any of my apps they would just crash and give me errors , so I contacted adobe they remotely accessed my computer and fixed it , or so I thought . Yesterday I gets notice saying that Lightroom has an update so I updated it and it did a weird install placing everything to my desktop which is not the default location and then I tried to open Lightroom and it did nothing at all , absolutely would not open , so I restarted over and over still nothing then CC tells me I have updates for Photoshop and bridge which of course they would not update and continued to crash giving me errors , finally after a whole day and night of searching for solutions and trying to get everything to work I turned my computer off . came back this morning and tried installing photoshop and bridge updates once again this time they went through and worked and both of them run for some odd reason , so then I attempted to try my luck on Lightroom and it now it decides to open, but when I try to access the develop module it tells me my trial version is up so develop module has been suspended and to upgrade my software which I do not understand why It would say that if I purchased the CC and I'm paying 10$ a month for both Photoshop and Lightroom .
Has anyone else experienced any of these issues , and know an actually solution to them? I am honestly getting sick of Photoshop and Lightroom not allowing updates to go through , crashing, not wanting to open , asking me for serial numbers and prompting me with other messages that make it to where I can't use the software.

I uninstalled Lightroom and C.C. , but Photoshop and Bridge won't uninstall I kep getting an error message saying that they can't be uninstalled to 1. restart computer , which I did , 2. Disable all startup programs including virus protection software, did that and 3. Attempt uninstall again , did that and still receive the error message so I downloaded adobe creative cloud cleanet tool, ran that selected #3 from the cleanup list to remove all creative cloud and creative cloud progrograms , finished the cleanup restarted computer Photoshop and Bridge are still their and still can't be removed and continue to receive initial error message of being unable to uninstall , tried looking around for a solution to this problem but am unable to find anything. I need some serious help I just want to uninstall Photoshop and Bridge so I can completely start from scratch downloading C.C. and the Photoshop, Lightroom & Bridge apps
