Server busy in Lightroom 5.7

Hi there,
I am using Lightroom 5.7 and I am continously getting Server Busy error. I am on Windows 7 platform.
I have asked this question before as well on this forum but haven't received any reply yet. My work is totally held up can someone please help to fix it.
Thanks
Rohit

Hi Keith,
The error message in the dialogue box says "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose switch To to activate the busy program and correct the problem" . Now if I click on switch to button it just opens my start menus and pressing retry doesn't do anything. I do not even know what busy program it is refereeing to. I searched on the net and in some forums people said that switching off Windows search fix the issue I did that but it didn't work.

"Server Busy" Error in Lightroom 4.1. 4.4 won't download/open properly

When I try to import new photos I get a "server busy" error in Lightroom 4.1. I have to click cancel/reset/cancel/reset for about a minute to get just one photo to import. Completely unacceptable if trying to import multiple photos. I downloaded 4.4 most recently in hopes of fixing this buy, but although it downloads, once downloading Lightroom, hoping when I re-installed it would automatically accept updates, but that didn't work. I still get server busy error. My Lightroom is completely useless right now. I'm working off a Windows system.

OMG... I'm such a nit-wit!! I switched the setting in my camera to try something and forgot to swith it back!
I've been digging through this for more that an hour and never bothered to check the file setting.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Upgraded to Lightroom 5.6: Suddenly "Server Busy" dialog delays my startup for minutes

I upgraded to the latest 5.6 a month or so ago (whenever it came out I guess) and this "Server Busy" dialog loop when starting Lightroom started occurring shortly thereafter.
If I repeatedly click "Try Again" or "Switch To" things eventually start to work - no consistent pattern or timeframe that I can detect.
PC hardware is a Supermicro chassis with 2x5430 CPU, 20 GB of RAM, 2GB Seagate 7200 SATA drive(s) on an Areca RAID controller (in JBOD) for RAW image and catalog storage with LR running from the system's Win7 64 boot SSD and the LR cache set to a directory on an otherwise unused older 60GB SSD; oh, plus a pretty nondescript Radeon video adapter - can't remember what it is but it's nothing special. There is no resource problem going on - this happens when only LR is running as well as under normal use; perfmon shows almost zero CPU and tons of RAM free.
Any tips to debug this? It came on all at once, and I'm about 90% certain it was directly timed with the last upgrade. I see some similar (but much older) threads on this type of subject, most were suggesting older hardware, although some said catalog corruption caused it.
Thanks.
Brent

Thank you to everyone who has viewed my question I appreciate your time looking to see if you could offer help. I was able to ad my 2014 file back into lightroom pretty easily thank goodness my 10 month old daughters whole life captured in digital files lives in there. I am still having my first problem reguarding auto importing so if any of you could weigh in on that I would really appreciate some help. thanks in advance everyone.

Server Busy - Lightroom locked up

Hi
A couple of days ago my 2.0 beta started to lock up with a 'Server busy' "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy problem and correct the problem". I am not connected to a server and no other programmes are running.
This morning it is now locking up 1.4.1 every time I try to zoom to 1:1. As a result I can no longer use this software. I would ask Adobe to please look into this situation. I have had LR since 1.0 without this problem ever occurring.
It has been reported by other LR users on FM that it is due to a MS update but I have not attempted to remove the updates yet as only one of the supposed culprits was present on my system. I am using Vista Ultimate SP1 with auto updates on.
Any information or help would be much appreciated as I have a job due on Monday and cannot afford to spend a weekend trying to find the solution.
Kind Regards
Michael

I've found "the" solution.
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. (it should work for any version, Vista, and 7)
I tried turning off windows search and superfetch.
That didn't work for me,
I tried disabling the windows search, and superfetch
I tried deleting the catalog and creating a new one.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Nothing.
Same thing, Server busy, and when you click on switch to it opens the start menu.
You have to disable the two. Windows Search, and Superfetch.
1st turn them off under Administrator, Services
Right click and click disable.
Then right click and click on properties.
In the drop down named Startup Type: move it to disabled.
Repeat for Superfetch.
Then reboot into safemode.
Open Lightroom there, either 3.2 or 3.3rc3
Create a new catalog, import a photo, try to print.
You won't be able to print but it will keep that action.
Reboot into windows normally.
Open the program, and there you go. It will be functioning normally.
The problem seems to be that the catalog gets corrupted and the program can't open, even if you delete the catalog there is a remnant that stays with the program.
You most likely do not have to try to print, but it worked for me.
Let me know if this solves it for you.
Thanks guys!

Upon opening LR I receive a "Server Busy" dialoge box: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." I have no other programs open and when I wait a bit it clears with the 'retry' button. Happened following a recent update. I'd really like this to go away - any ideas?

For me this happens when I have Zenfolio or Facebook open in Google Chrome, even if Google Chrome is not active. If you use Chrome, when the error shows up open Chrome and close each one of the tabs and click on the retry in Lightroom. Also happens if Internet explorer is running with either of these two programs.

Server busy issue since i joined Creative Cloud

I had Lightroom 5 and then joined creative cloud and have been having issues ever since i signed up. Every time i start lightroom i get a server busy error for hours on end.

A fix to Lightroom's “Server Busy Error” on a Windows 7 64 bit computer:
I see in the discussion threads there are a LOT of frustrated people over this Server Busy issue, so I hope this helps someone. This is what Adobe tech support had me do, which fixed my problem. I got through on the phone right away, and the fix took no longer than 20 minutes to determine, with the support person remoting into my computer.
I already had Lightroom 5.6 installed through my Creative Cloud subscription, and it had worked for a few weeks for me, although with increasing problems with the Server Busy box popping up. I was able to get rid of it by switching to Switch and Retry, but eventually it locked me out entirely.
Tech Support told me the problem was a permissions issue.
Try the following and see if it solves your problem:
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, find the SL Cache folder and move it to your Desktop.
In C:\ProgramData\Adobe, find the SL Store folder and move it to your Desktop.
R Click on your Lightroom icon and “Run as Administrator”.
If it opens correctly, that shows it is working now.
Close Lightroom and reopen the application normally.

Please make sure the below information:
1. If you are getting this eror message while opening Crystal Reports 2008 or Xcelsius 2008.
2. If you are getting this error message for Crystal 2008, have you installed the Crystal Reports on a Citrix Server or a Terminal Server.

"Server Busy" Error in Windows 8.1

Since yesterday, I have been unable to use Dreamweaver due to a "Server Busy" error coming up when I start the program. I have installed the available update through CC and am still etting the error, and all documentation on said error is for earlier versions of Dreamweaver and Windows.
I am unable to use the program and need a resolution to this as quickly as possible. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I believe I have found the solution. I uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus (after it said to have failed the latest update) and now the error is gone.
Norton came pre-installed on my laptop, yet the two programs had no problem until last week.

How to redirect to a server busy page when under heavy load

Hello,
          I have been doing extensive load testing of a web application using Weblogic
          5.10 sp 06. I have found a point where under extremly heavy load the server
          just does not respond anymore. Fair enough.
          What I want to do is at a certain load level (before it stops responding) I
          want to redirect users to a "Server Busy - try again later" page. Is there a
          setting in weblogic that allows me to do this ? Or do I need to have other
          monitoring software to take care of this ?
          Thanks and Regards,
          Nick H

          It is possible to create and use your own execute queue in 6.1 and specify it's
          length, so I expected this to happen when queue length reaches this number, but
          it didn't.

"Server Busy"

I've googled this problem and I can't find anything that
seems to apply to me. I'm sure it's come up here, so here is my
problem. I keep getting the error that says "Server Busy" "because
the other program is busy." I can either press the "Switch To ..."
button (which brings up the Start Button) or the "Retry" button
(which does nothing.) The issues I found from my googling involve
ZoneAlarm, IIS and/or World Wide Web Publishing Services (e.g.,
see
here). I've done as suggested to locate these in the Start
button > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools
> Services, but to no avail, none of the known issues can be
found in the Services window.
Any ideas why I keep getting this annoying error? I'm all
ears.

Are you using Zone Alarm as a firewall?
Are you using a testing server on this site?

Multi-byte characters are garbled in SQL Server Business Intelligent Development Studio (Visual Studio) 2008

Hi,
I'm revising an existing report which was developed by my predecessor. Though it works fine in the production environment, when I open the .rdl file with SQL Server Business Intelligent Studio (Visual Studio) 2008 on my client
PC, I find all the multi-byte characters are garbled. When I open it with the BIDS (the same version) on the server, it shows everything correctly.
The fonts for the controls (labels) are Tahoma and it's originally only for alphabets, but multi-byte characters are supposed to be displayed in MSGOTHIC by Font Link as they are displayed correctly on the server.
Could anyone advise me how to solve this issue? I know I can fix it by changing the fonts from Tahoma to MSGOTHIC for all the contrls, but I don't want to do it.
Environment:
My PC：Windows7 64bit /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Server：Windows Server 2003 R2 /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Garbled characters sample:
FontLink - SystemLink
Please let me know if you need any more information. I would appreciate your advice!

Hi nino_miya,
According to your description, when you display the report in client side, characters are garbled.
In your scenario, please check if the Language is the same as the report on production server. Also please check if the data of Tahoma in registry on client PC is the same as server. If those two settings are the same, please specify font of the each
control as MSGOTHIC manaually on client PC.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Deployment of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (2008 R2)

Looking for some guidance on deploying SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio (2008 R2). I have a requirement from our Data Warehouse developers, and they require the SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio deployed to
the server that will hold the production data warehouse. Is the SQL Server Business Intelligence development studio normally deployed on a production server?
I am hesitant about installing the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio since it's a development tool. I haven't seen anything that it is required to run the developed objects.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated.
Thanks.
DJ

Hi DonsJones,
The SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio (BIDS) is a client tool for BI Projects development and won’t be installed on the production server in most cases. For a DW/BI system, the BIDS is generally used to develop ETL packages, Data Mining,
and Reporting. The development activities should be performed in the Dev environment, and the eventually ETL packages or reports should be deployed to the production server or report server. For a production server that will run the ETL packages (usually in
SQL Server Agent jobs), SSIS should be installed on the production server.
