Problems with lightroom 3.....desperate for help

I was printing pictures using lightroom 3, no problems. When I finished printing I shut the program down. I tried to reopen the program a few hours later to print some more pictures.................problems!!! The program tries to open, but doesn't fully open. The little blue icon never stops spinning. I have left it running for several hours, and it won't open completely. I have had my computer completely checked by a technician, and my computer is fine. I have deleted the program, and reinstalled it, and I am still having the same problem. It will not open. I have called numerous people trying to get help, and no one seems to be able to help or even understand what I am talking about. I have had this program for several months, and I have never had any problems until now. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate any help.

Hi Rick. Don't worry, we'll figure it out somehow!
I'm guessing from the blue icon that it's some flavour of Windows.
Restart your computer as Geoff suggested.
If it still doesn't work, try holding down the Ctrl key while you open LR, and see if it'll bring up the dialog that lets you choose a catalog. If it does, let it start a new catalog temporarily, and see if that will open properly.
Then report back, and that'll give us a clue on what to do next.

Accidentally Erased Mailbox, Problem With Recovery, Am DESPERATE FOR HELP!!

I won't bore everyone with the specifics, but I accidentally deleted a mailbox containing tons of emails. I only realized this about an hour later... didn't do too much between the act and the realization. I immediately shut down the Mac, got another Mac, my roommate's iBook downloaded Data Rescue onto it, hooked up the first one, which is an eMac btw, to the iBook, restarted it in Firewire target disk mode, and ran the program. It isolated a bunch of files, presumably from Apple Mail since they were all mbox format, which I then saved. I was pretty happy since I figured I was okay after-all. Well...
I restarted the eMac, with all the mbox files contained. I know that in Tiger, all email is saved in another format, .emlx, so I was confused, but didn't really question it. I simply hoped that I would be able to convert them in Apple Mail.
Well, that hasn't happened... each time I would try, the program would abruptly quit. One possible reason is that there's maybe too much to import; in the end, all the saved mbox files come in at 6.76 gigs... which to be honest, seems way too high. I then tried to import each file on at a time, but again, the program would simply quit.
After looking around on the web, I came across the suggestion that I rename the file. Instead of being Mail-00170, it was suggested I get rig of the "-", so I did. This time the file was accepted, but the end result was an email that had no information that also wouldn't fully load.
And after checking out a few mbox files at random, but dragging them into Text Edit, instead of being emails, they all seem to contain iTunes playlist info for some reason.
If anyone can offer some insight or maybe some help before I hang myself, it would be greatly appreciated...

Mail 2.x doesn’t store mail in standard mbox format. The only way you might have found Mail messages in a “recovered” mbox file is if it was a Mail 1.x file that Mail 2.x left there after the conversion to the new *.emlx format when you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
If you don’t have a backup, the only data recovery utility that I know for sure can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Beware, however, that having tried to fix the problem by other means may have caused some of the deleted messages to already have been overwritten.

I'm having serious problems with Lightroom plug in for Facebook not working on my iMac. Help!

It started about a month ago with LR4. I kept getting problems with not being able to publish to Facebook because of problems with the plug-in which had been working perfectly up to then. I had a run round that worked by disableing and reloading the plug in. I upgraded to LR5 but the problem persisted and in fact just became worse. I can no longer publish to facebook from LR. I deleted the LR app in facebook as someone advised but now I cannot re-authorise with Facebook. When I go to the "connect" buton nothing happens. This is a serious problem that may make me reluctantly abandon Lightroom if I cannot find a solution. Can anybody help?

According to the Lightroom Facebook page, Facebook broke it and Facebook has to fix it- there is no ETA.

Typing problem in Dreamweaver? (Desperate for help ASAP!!)

Hey guys sorry to bother but I'm new to Dreamweaver 8 and I'm so frustrated right now! D: I tried using a Photoshop addon called Sitegrinder 3 to design a website and let Sitegrinder automatize the coding project of converting from PSD to HTML since everyone seems to be able to use it so flawlessly, but when I used it the formatting on the pages was different i.e. word spacing changed, words were on the wrong part of the page etc, so I imported the HTML files into Dreamweaver to fix them up a bit where the program couldn't, and some I've been able to fix, others not at all. My problem is when I try to type things onto a blank template of the website. Everything disappears. Here are screenshots to show you what I mean
Here's what it looks like when I import the HTML into Dreamweaver. Note the messed up text formatting from Sitegrinder
Now for this one this is when I try to edit or retype any of what's currently on there. Nothing happens really, it just re types with the awful formatting (and I can't figure out why!)
And in this final pic, if I delete those "section" things with the bits of text in then to try to rewrite whole new fresh text and add pictures, this is what happens. Everything but the blank template disappears and I can't do anything anyways! I'm so mad right now, would love someone if they could PLEASE help me ASAP!

Having problem with downgrading. Waiting for help)

Hi) I recently bought Mac Mini 2012 (i7 2.3 GHZ, 4 Gb RAM, 1 TB HDD) with OS X Mountain Lion installed on it. Then I upgraded to Yosemite and didn't make a backup with Time Machine (I realize now that it was a mistake). So now I'd like to get back to Mountain Lion, but how can I do that? I found it on the apple store web site and it costs some money, do I have to buy to run it on my Mac or I can get it free because it was originally installed on my device? Thank you for your help))

I recommend that you erase and reinstall OS X instead of downgrading it to an outdated version. Erasing and reinstalling OS X resolves most of the problems that are caused by upgrading it.

Xperia Z2 Start-up Problem. I'm desperate - need help!

My phone randomly shut down today with full power on, just lying on my table. I had troubles turning it on, did the restart-thingy and finally i got some power in it. The problem is, that after it says ''Sony'' Then ''Xperia'' The purple/blue animated background comes on (as it always does when its starting up) but its stucked in that animation. Have tried literally ANYTHING i could come up with, and what I'v read on the internet.
I couldn't find anything specific about the problem, since I don't know if I'm the only one ever tried so. I'v been waiting for an hour, the animation is still just there, aint turning on completly, waited 5 hours, tried again - same story. holded the powerbutton + volume button etc. nothing works.
I can turn the phone ''off'' when the animation is on, and when i start it again it's still stucked in the purple animation.
Anyone got any suggestion for this?
My thought is, that its some kind of software bug or so.
I'm REALLY desperate for help
(The phone haven't been dropped or anything, just suddently happend)

Try to perform a system repair and if that fails contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination

Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination
Problem in committing transactions in Multiple Forms (Oracle Forms) with POST built-in command:
Consider that the following statements are written in WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger of a called form.
Statements in called form (Form name: FORM_CHILD):
go_block('display_block') ;
do_key('execute_query') ;
-- Data from table_b will be populated in this block, based on the value of COLUMN_1 obtained
-- from TABLE_A.
-- Example: If the value of COLUMN_1 is 10, then all the matching records from TABLE_B, which
-- are inserted with value 10 in TABLE_B.COLUMN_1 will be fetched and shown here.
if user_choice = 'YES' then
commit ;
else
rollback ;
end if ;
Statements in calling forms:
There are two calling forms having following statements and it is going to call the above said called form.
CALLING FORM 1
Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
post;
call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
select column_1
from table_a
for update of column_1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
update table_a
set column_1 = column_1 + 1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...; Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
post;
call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
CALLING FORM 2:
Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
select column_1
from table_a
for update of column_1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
update table_a
set column_1 = column_1 + 1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...;
Our understanding:
Assume that both the forms are running from two different machines/instances, issuing commit at the same time. In this case, forms will start executing the statements written in ON-INSERT trigger, the moment POST command is executed. Though the commit is issued at the same time, according to oracle, only one of the request will be taken for processing first. Assume that calling form 1 is getting processed first.
So, it fetches the value available in COLUMN_1 of TABLE_A and locks the row from further select, update, etc. as SELECT...FOR UPDATE command is used (note that NOWAIT is not given, hence the lock will be released only when COMMIT or ROLLBACK happens) and proceed executing further INSERT statements. Because of the lock provided by the SELECT...FOR UPDATE command, the statements in calling form 2 will wait for the resource.
After executing the INSERT statements, the FORM_CHILD is called. The rows inserted in to TABLE_A will be queried and shown. The database changes will be committed when user closes the window (as COMMIT is issued in its WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger). Then the SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock will be released and calling form 2's statements will be executed.
Actual happenings or Mis-behavior:
Calling form 2 starts executing INSERT statements instead of waiting for SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock. Also, the value selected from TABLE_A.COLUMN_1 is same in both the calling forms, which is wrong.
The rows inserted into TABLE_B are having similar COLUMN_1 values in calling form 2 and they are fetched and shown in the called form FORM_CHILD.
Note that in calling form 2 also POST only is issued, but the changes posted there are accessible in calling form 1 also, which is wrong.
Kindly suggest us as to how to fix above problem. It will be much use, if you can send us the information regarding the behavior of Oracle Forms POST built-in also.
Our mail ID: [email protected]
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have several problems:
1. On-Insert will ONLY run if you have created a new record in a base-table block. If you haven't done that, then the POST command will not cause it to run.
2. Select for update without a "no wait" will lock records for the first form, but when the second form tries this, it will hit the ORA-00054 exception, and will NOT wait. The only way you could make it wait is to issue an UPDATE sql command, which is not such a good way to go.
All POST does is issues SQL insert or update commands for any changes the user has made to records in a form's base-table blocks, without following with a Commit command.
Also understand that Commit is the same as Commit_Form, and Rollback is the same as Clear_Form. You should read up on these in the Forms help topics.

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

Java install won't accept <Ok>?? Desperate for help??
I've decided that I'm going to develop my Rails applications in Linux and keep hitting a BRICK WALL every time I try to install NetBeans or Java. I download all of the packages and come to a text screen that says "Package Configuration" and then "Configuring sun-java5-bin" and then it asks you to read the agreement and there's an <Ok> at the bottom. I can't get through this and everytime it fails my 'package manager' goes bonkers and I have to reload the Ubuntu Gutys Gibbon operating system AGAIN!!!
I push ENTER and type in "yes" and "Ok" and there is no response.
I've loaded this operating system FIVE TIMES NOW and the bottleneck is very frustrating as I can't program in a graphics environment without Java.
I joined this forum just to ask this question and would be grateful for a reply at [email protected]

my 4S keeps showing me sos only only invalid sim? desperate for help?

Ok, so I just went to Australia from NZ and the same thing happened to me. I was so annoyed as I couldn't text, ring or anything. I returned to NZ this morning, rang telecom and they said it's a hardware issue and talked me through this:
Settings, Phone, SIM applications, roaming menu, manual, select your provider, accept.
Go through each stage and this fixed the problem!!
Good luck!!

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix
