On start up lightroom 4 fails with this message "Assertion failed" anyone have a solution?

Thanks

After talking to Adobe support, they say that because LR4 has so many new features the catalog update doesn't always operate correctly!
Nice one adobe, provide an update path that "doesn't always work"!!!
The only way around it is to create a new catalog and import all the pictures from the failing catalog. In the process losing all published services! Not ideal but I'll have to live with it.
Surely the "assertion failed" message could write out to a log stating exactly what caused the fault. In the apple console all you get is
"31/05/2012 13:49:23.006 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4: Oops! An untagged string (assertion failed!) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen."
Come on Adobe this is poor!!!

Calendar alerts on every device after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

I have Calendar alerts on every device [Mac/iPad/iPhone] after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

Well, whichever device you uncheck = exclude from calendars (and reminders) via iCloud will be excluded as both, receiver and sender. It's an "all or nothing", I guess. Otherwise it'd get more complicated, and the support calls could easily fill an extra forum...
@lmp68: don't think iTunes is it, in the days of iCloud that would sure take quite an extra effort, if possible at all.

IOS6 update Maps do noy integrate or work properly with Rocanda Land Tracker Does anyone have a solution to this horrible map upgrade?

Installed the IOS6 Uodate on both my Iphone and Ipad.
Have found the Rocanda LSD finder and land tracker apps to not integrate with maps properly.
I use these applications constantly as I am a driver in the oilfield.
This update has made my Rocanda useless. It will not save a converted LSD location
and use another LSD location to show directions on the maps.
This used to work perfectly and was a valuable tool.
Can anyone tell me how to repair this?

Speaking as someone who happens to be named Michael Broughton ;), let me note that I did not depend on trying to parse the OWB runtime repository to determine the last run status for a given mapping. I used a set of our own tables that we use to audit various processes that run against our database.
Similar to you, we had the notion of a master process and sub-processes. So, our load could be described as:
Insert master process row with status "Started".
For each mapping to execute:
insert a sub-process row with status "started"
if the last run of the master process ran to "COMPLETE", or the last run of this master process ran to "FAILED" but there is no row for this sub-process with status "COMPLETE", then we need to run the process. run it and update the sub-process row with the return status. If status <> OK, then update master process to status "FAILED" and exit.
otherwise, If we determined that the mapping did not need to be executed, then update the sub-process row with status "COMPLETE"
We put in the stubs for the processes whether we need to run them or not so that if the load fails multiple times, each run will contain the complete list of mappings that were completed.
In point of fact, if you insert the stubs when skipping over mappings during a restart then you can condense the "do I need to run this time" logic to: Run allways unless the last master process run failed but this process succeeded.
How you want to code that query will depend entirely on how you are saving your data.
Hope this helps. I'd offer code snippets but I away from my work 'puter 'til next week.

Hi Kayleenfromwi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions for doing this:

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying the steps in this article:

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

Hi renmusn79002737,
Could you please try installing Reader again from the below mentioned link:

Ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt downloading.
Try again and then let me know.

Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog... network volume or...

I am moving from one computer to another, and I have always kept all my Lightroom files and catalogs on a separate external hard drive. I unplugged it from my old computer, and plugged it into my new computer and it gives the following message:
"Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network volume, or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes"
Hum, plug back into my old computer and all is working fine.
Connected by firewire, using all Mac computers.
Thanks, I need your help!

Ah, I just tried it again in my old computer, and it is coming back as a bad hard drive that needs to be backed up immediately..... darn, thought those LaCie's lasted more than one year.
Thanks, hopefully, I will be back and running soon.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me?

Every time I restore my iPhone from iCloud Backup, this apple id SHOWS UP and asking password. But I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me? Could anyone help me to remove it from my Applr ID as it seems somehow its linked to my iCloud Backup. Thank you.
<Email Edited By Host>

Hi Ralph,
I have received the iPhone 5s from my carrier EE UK. I never had a second hand device as all my previous iPhones received from my carrier. Every time I restore from iCloud backup, first I enter my Apple ID and Password, then it authenticates and goes through next process and updates iCloud settings, right after initial settings then it displayes enter your password where the Apple ID is the metntioned Apple ID and in the bottom it says "Skip this to go next process" or something. I have to press that everytime to skip it, then restore my backup from iCloud and then when I'm in iPhone home it asks me for the password of that mentoned email. So everytime I change the email address to my Apple ID then enter my password that activates my iCloud services and start downloading all the apps I installed.
Its really weird to be honest and I don't know how to remove that email address from that process and seems its there.
N.B. When I had iPhone 4s, Apple Store did replace my iPhone 4s with a new one due to the faulty WiFi.

Hello mustangcim243,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,

IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start 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. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.
