Problem with Preview Cache and LR5 keeps shutting down

I keep trying to open LR5 and it gives me an error message that says it encountered a problem with the preview cache and needs to shut down, and it will attempt to fix the problem next time I open LR 5.  It keeps happening and won't allow me to open LR5 at all.  What should I do?

Delete .lrdata folder (the whole thing) - it's in with your catalog.
Do NOT delete your catalog (.lrcat file) or anything else.
If you have 2 .lrdata folders, delete the one that does NOT have "Smart Previews" in the name.

  • I am getting an error when reading the preview cache and the program shuts down.

    I had to reload Lightroom on a new computer and after I did that it gives me an error when reading from its preview cache and then it shuts the program down.  How can I fix this problem?

    Delete the preview cache ... it is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA in the same folder as your catalog file.

    USB connection to iTunes. Back up your 3GS with your last 3GS back up. DON'T use an iPhone 4 back up or higher. It will cause exactly this.

  • I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

    I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

    First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Why does my Iomega and WD keep shutting down?

    why does my Iomega and WD keep shutting down?

    Was gonna reply "cause they are unremitting pieces of crap" (got two Iomega NAS boxes out for repairs as we speak), but I'll bite anyway....
    Care to provide more information as to what troubles you? The description you have provided isn't exactly rich in details, don't you think? And my telepathic thinking cap is also out of order at the time....

  • Help I have a power mac8.1 and it keeps shutting down at random times with no warning any ideas what to do to solving it?

    Hello,
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Just upgraded ipad 2 to ios7 and it keeps shutting down every 30 seconds

    I just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios7 and it now shuts down every 30 to 45 seconds.  It blacks the screen out and goes to the black screen with the white apple on it and then it will come back up to the sign on screen after a couple of minutes.  Once I sign on it repeats the same process over and over again.  Tried to run Apple diagnostics on it but it shut down again. 
    I now own a useless piece of equipment. 

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Problem with previews browser and email clients vs DW

    Hey everyone.  I am having an issue with DW.  I wanted to see if I could get some quick help.  I am having a problem with the DW Design looking fine and great on my screen in DW, but when I go to preview in a browser or upload to an Email client, it has a spacing issues.  See pics for reference.  The first is in DW, the 2nd is in Chrome.  All browsers and MailChimp.com look the same. 
    Can I get some help into what I am doing wrong? 

    I take it you are using an older version of DW - say DW5?  First thing to know is that DW's Design view is not a browser. It's an approximation (and sometimes a poor one) of what you will see in the browser, as you are discovering. Second thing is that by just looking at a screen shot, we can only guess at what might be wrong. Please show us the code and we can tell you what actually IS wrong. Do this by either posting a link to the uploaded page, or by pasting the code into a reply here. If CSS is involved, please add that to your paste. And to be successful with this latter method, you must come to the web forum to make your post - email won't work.

  • When i am in certain apps, some with using internet and some not, shuts down and goes back to the main page.  how do i fix this or what is the problem?

    My ipad just started blanking out in certain apps, such as the NY post or certain games.  When i try to flip a page in the NY Post the ipad blanks out and goes back to the originial screen.  The same thing happens with some games.  Does anyone know what is wrong or how to fix this?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Press and hold sleep button until slider shows up on screen.  Shut down then start it up again.

  • Right out of the box...and it KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN!! Help!!

    I received my brand new iMac this afternoon and plugged it in. It was working fine for about two hours, now all of the sudden, the thing will not stop shutting down and powering up. It is almost as if I am jiggling power source on and off, like a flicker, and I am not even touching it. I tried troubleshooting with the cosmetic ring around the power connector - no dice, the computer keeps turning on and off like it's posessed. There is plenty of slack on the power cord so it's not being pulled. I am afraid plug the system in...all that shutting down and powering up can't be good for the system. What should I do?
    IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If you have checked that the power plug is firmly seated and confirmed that it is, then the only thing to do is to call Apple or take it in.
    If there is a problem with the power supply or logic board, Apple should replace the entire unit. No new Mac fresh out of the box should require repairs.

  • HELP!!! Problem with FMS on port 80 is shutting down Apache on my server!

    Hello all,
    I own FMIS 3.5. I had it installed on a VPS earlier this year and it worked fine. I later uninstalled it and moved to a NEW VPS with the same hosting comoany (Lunar Pages). Again, it worked fine.
    NOW...
    They are telling me that because FMIS is listening on port 80 (when I installed FMIS, I left the port settings as recommended, 1935,80 and 1111 for the admin) that it is shutting down Apache. For what it's worth, I did not install Apache when I installed FMIs on my NEW VPS because I figured I didn't need it as I was installing to a server.
    The conflicting application is fmsedge which is running on port 80. Can ANYONE recommend an alternate port for fmsedge?
    I am completely at a standstill with this, all my sites are down. The host tells me that Apache needs to run on port 80.
    I am developing several websites that will use FMIS for RTMP streaming.
    The worst part is that this worked before and suddenly is causing a problem
    PLEASE help if you can. I am stuck.
    Thank you in advance for your help!!!
    Sincerely,
    wordman

    Graeme,
    Thank you as usual!
    FMS is set up on 1935 and 80, but I do have a second IP and will try that approach.
    Will let you know how it goes!
    Thank you!!!
    Sincerely,
    wordman

  • Log and capture keeps shutting down

    I just got a canon xh-a1 and im trying to capture some footage and every time it gets done or I press the esc button final cut pro shuts down and it doesn't capture the clip.... I am converting the hdv to prorez 422 1080 60i i am using the firewire 400 port for the camera and am sending the clips to a 250gb g tech firewire 800 hard drive using a macbook pro... I tried going straight to my computer hard drive and that worked for some reason, it doesn't make sense because I had a dv camera for years and could capture this way with no problems at all... If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    I suspect there is something not quite right with your capture settings. One item off and things do not work right. Check this article out for correct capture settings when capturing ProRes.
