Start up window in Lightroom 3

After I upgraded to Lightroom 3 I get a beginning screen that says:
     Upgraded Version of Catalog found.  Would you like to use the upgraded catalog instead?  Then they give two options:
          Selected Catalog: Lightroom 2 Catalog  OR
          Upgrade Catalog:  Lightroom 3 Catalog-7
                                       Upgrade Again  OR  Use Existing Catalog
I do not see reason for either.  You can see I have upgraded it 7 times.
Do I have to get this beginning screen?  How do I get rid of it?
Plus: Why is my catalog still called Lightroom 2 Catalog?

I suppose because you have configured Lightroom to open a certain catalog (Lightroom 2 catalog.lrcat) at startup, instead of the default setting to open last used catalog. Since it's a v2 catalog, Lightroom always tried to upgrade it to v3.
Go to Prefs -> General, and modify the option of what catalog to load at start-up. Set either "Last used catalog" or one of the "Lightroom 3" catalogs.

  • I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7.  can someone help me?

    I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle.  upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7.  just dead in the water. any help?

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

  • Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. When i enable filters to search. It cuts off the top 160  images. These images are NOT included in the search!!

    In Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. The search/filter function cuts off the top 160+ images. These are NOT included in the search.
    Even when there are as little as 6 images it does not include the first 4 images.
    I found this when I was searching a particular ISO. It did not show in the metadata search. I knew there were over 60 images at that ISO.
    I tried a text search, it did not work either. The top 160+ images were left out.
    Also it renumbered the images. My image number was #163 but Lightroom said it was #1.
    In Windows 7 Enterprise, Lightroom 5.6 worked perfectly.

    We'll need more detail to figure out what's going on. While we could play twenty questions, the most efficient way to troubleshoot this is to start out by posting a full-resolution screen shot of your LR window.

  • How do I stop iTunes from starting with Windows?

    Hi there.
    After installing iTunes 7, it launches with Windows despite there being no registry entries or Startup folder entries. I also can't find any preference settings in iTunes to change this. I don't want iTunes starting with Windows as it's a CPU hot and system drag as it is without it slowing down my startup.
    What's even more odd I find is that, if for whatever reason iTunes does NOT start with Windows, I don't have an Internet connection. It's strange but the connection between the two is absolute. If I reboot and iTunes starts with Windows, I have my Internet back.
    Any suggestions? I can't find anything through searches. I've also checked for viruses, spyware, backdoors, etc.
    Thanks.

    It turns out it was the Yahoo iTunes plugin.

  • How can I run a java-application on starting of Windows 2000

    How can I run a java-application without any user on starting of Windows 2000?
    For example, if the computer is restarted and nobody enter into it yet, my java-application should run anyway.
    How can I do that?

    Hi, you have to put it in a Windows service.
    To do this you have a program, Srvany.exe that allow to insert a .exe or .bat program in a Windows service.
    For example, i develop a program, TomcatGuardian and i put it in a service because i need to run it in a server without Administrator logged in.

  • Why does Firefox not acknowledge that I have Silverlight already installed. When trying to work with "Getting Started" in Windows 7, it keeps telling me I have to download Silverlight to view this information.

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 OS. When trying to learn the transition experience from Windows XP to this new OS version, I was presented with this problem of going around in circles.
    When trying to view "Discover Windows 7" via "Start>Getting Started>Discover Windows 7", a Microsoft website opens to; (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/videos/personalizing-your-pc). It tells me; To view this contents, please install Microsoft Silverlight. Once I install it and get back to this page, I get the same message. I can not view any of the help content before installing Microsoft Silverlight. So now it is a never ending "CIRCLE of LIGHT"! Is this a problem with my Firefox or with Windows Microsoft 7?

    I'm not seeing the Silverlight plugin in your More system details list, so Firefox doesn't find it if you have it.
    I assume that you also do not see it in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins ?

  • Stuck at "starting login window" and Disk Utility won't fix it...

    I downloaded some security updates, and since restarting my computer as required, I have never been able to start it up since. It gets stuck on the "starting login window" screen, with the little blue bar still shimmering and mouse still moving, but just won't ever load the login screen, even after hours.
    I've seen a few other people have had this problem, and tried to follow some of the recommendations, with no joy. I tried several times to repair the disk permissions with Disk Utility, but it has an internal error saying it lost the connection to the disk manager, or something similar.... when I try to repair the disk, it fails saying something about "overlapped extent allocations" and an "invalid node structure".
    I can start up in single-user mode, and doing a fsck had the same result.
    What can I do??? Some people suggested an Archive and Install manoeuvre, but I'm scared of losing all my files! Will it erase them all? Do I have to back up all my files before doing this? How can I back them up if my computer won't start?
    I know almost nothing about computers - all I know I have found in the past few days searching through these discussion boards trying to find an answer! I have an important essay due on Monday which is stuck in my computer, so I'm a little scared!
    I'm using Mac OS X Panther or something.... not sure how to find out exactly which one, as my computer won't start!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    iBook G4    

    Hi, you have some serious directory damage there, and it was probably there before the updates. An Archive and Install would not be recommended. If you did that you would likely have more problems then you have right now.
    If it were me I'd run Diskwarrior and Tech Tool Pro on it. DW for the invalid node structure and Tech Tool Pro for the Overlapped Extent Allocation. But you probably would have to buy both of them, and there's no guarantee either one will fix it.
    Apple doc.#25770, talking about Overlap..... says the easiest way to fix it is to Erase and Install. If you are running 10.3.9 and had access to a retail Tiger disk, you could try booting up on it and running Disk Utility. Tigers DU has the ability to fix Overlap.... sometimes, Panther's does'nt.
    This is the best way to Erase and Install. First backup all your important stuff, if you can, as the following will erase everything on your drive; it will be unrecoverable. Put your install disk in your Mac and Restart while holding down the C key. In Tiger, When you get to the install screen, don't click install and go to the title bar at the top of the screen and click on Utilities (in earlier OS's click on the installer menu).
    Click on Disk Utility and choose the hard drive you want your OS on. Then click on the Erase tab. In Tiger, click on the Security Options button near the bottom (it's similiar for Panther and Jaguar).
    Once in there choose Zero Out Data (write zero's in earlier versions). This will map out any bad blocks on your drive and bring it back to almost new condition (providing there's nothing wrong mechanically with it, bad bearings, defective or damaged surface, etc.).
    Once this is done, go back to the install screen and begin the "Erase and Install" installation. This will put a factory fresh system on a clean hard drive.
    Cheers!

    On my archlinux (64-bit) system, I installed windows 7 (32-bit) using virtualbox-ose. It was working fine before I did the upgrade. Now, whenever I try to start the windows 7 (32-bit), it starts the windows 7 until the windows logo comes (just before the login mask of windows 7 comes), my computer restarts itself without giving any error or something. My pc just restarts itself. I think this is only related to virtualbox. When I do not try to start virtualbox, arch linux itself is working fine so far. Only when I try to start the windows 7, my pc gets restarted. Have you guys had any problem of this kind? First, I will wait for your responses. The options that I could think of right at the moment are:
    1. Downgrade the kernel back (I do not know how to and do not see it as a good choice)
    2. Downgrade the virtualbox-ose only (I also do not know how to do that.)
    3. Uninstall the virtualbox-ose and reinstall it again without removing my windows 7 OS (32-bit) (I hope I can continue using it)
    4. Delete the existing windows 7 OS and try to install freshly new Windows 7 OS again
    Guys, please help me. I really need to use windows 7 sometimes. I would be really grateful if some of you guys can help me.
    And again thanks for reading my long post.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys, thanks for your responses.
    What is this vboxnetflt for? Which modules are the essential modules for virtualbox? What I mean is: do those nice features like mouse point integration, full screen supportment etc... rely on vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp?
    What I have in my configuration file is:
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    #MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
    MODULES=(vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp)
    I think vboxnetadp is used for networkiing. and vboxnetflt sounds like network filtering stuff. Can someone please confirm me? I think the problem was the sequence of upgrading. Firstly it updated the kernel and then installed the new version of virtualbox. I think if it could install the new version of virtualbox first and then the kernel, it would go without any problem, just my opinion as I said.
    Let's keep tracked on this. Maybe someone will find a solution before virtualbox developers :-)

  • Bridge CS6 will not start in Windows 7

    Bridge CS6 (both 32 and 64) don't start in Windows 7. 
    Bridge starts in Task Manager for a few seconds, but goes away.  No errors, no logs.
    I have tried all the suggestions I've found within the forums, including checking settings,, temp environment variables, deleting C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6 (including the directory itself), etc.  No luck.   Adding a new user, then using it to start Bridge worked great, but that is not really a solution.  One added piece of info:  Bridge did recreate the above directory before dying, although it remains empty.  I haven't found any logfiles that might help understand how far it got.   Is there a log file or a registry setting that will enable detailed logging to help diagnose this?
    I managed to gather a temp xml file that has some info that might help.  This file shows up for the few seconds when Bridge is running.

    There is obviously something in my normal user's profile or environment that is getting in the way of startup.  Yes, my normal user is an admin. You (Adobe) have the code and the startup can't be that convoluted. Someone should be able to walk the code, figure out what things are checked between creating the above directory and the next externally detectable step (like creating a file in this directory or logging something into a log file), then reply here with a list of specific things to check.
    I got into a chat with Adobe support several days ago, where I went through several steps of ensuring I was using a properly licensed version only to be told that he didn't know Bridge and asked that I call during the day on Monday. The sign off message to that chat was funny - they mentioned 24x365 support :-) Luckily, I've worked support in my past and I have a sense of humor.
    I tried to file a bug form the web, but failed to navigate the amazingly bad support web experience of Adobe.com.  At one point, I had found a place to do it, pasted the above into that window, then tried to submit - I wasn't logged in.  So, I clicked the login link and got an error pop-up window with a bad-link error.  I came in fresh - logged in, then could not find that "report a bug" screen again.  Truly amazing.  But I guess, if you cannot report a bug, it doesn't exist - so congratulations on your bug-free products.
    A suggestion:
    Provide a simple link to report a bug that's not tied to a service plan.  It would simply be a way to tell you about problems with the hope that a solution could be provided in a future release - these can optionally be logged to the forums for community involvement.  I don't mind logging in to prove I'm a valid user.

    Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
    There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive.   I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background?  You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
    In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle.  In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner? 
    Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled.  For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once".  Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program.  As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
    Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems. 
    That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc.

    Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
    Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
    My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
    After setting up the setting up the system.
    I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
    -I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
    -enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
    I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
    i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
    C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
    C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
    I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
    I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
    I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
    Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.
