Suddenly having trouble with LR4.2 ... won't import anything ... program locks up (not responding)

any ideas on how to fix this or what causes it to happen?  I tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, also rebooted my computer.
Thanks!

Only by reading other posts does it appear that it is an issue with catalog handling that ( not yet tested personally ) can be resolved by starting a new catalog. Mine currently takes 30 sec to load the import splash screen then refuses to progress at anything other than a snail pace. Adobe have remained resolutely silent on the topic and stand behind their usual wall of indifference and call backlogs.

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    having trouble with time capsule, won't find backups

    Usually a simple reboot will work.. Reboot the TC..
    If that is not enough.. Restart the whole network from off.
    Mountain Lion and to a lesser extent Lion.. have network issues and lose track of the TC.

  • I am having trouble with a form, won't tab to 2nd page...

    I am having trouble with a form I created in Acrobat Pro 10. I created tabs etc, they all work wonderfully in Adobe, but once I uploaded it onto the web-based program for other users, the tabs only work  on page 1, I have to click on page 2 to keep tabbing through.  It won't tab into it.  Any advise?  Also, when the users open it it opens in the web.

    Some of the attachments were only a couple of typed pages.  I saved them as pdf format so receiver could read.  The pdf file would not attach.  Program gave message file to large for attachment to e-mail.  Perhaps I am not doing correct procedure to attaching a file to an e-mail.  I tried typing the document and saving it in pdf format to the desktop.  Opened the e-mail on Safarii - typed a quick message and then tried to drop /drag attachment from desktop to e-mail. Up pops the stupid message.  Would someone give me the step by step procedure for adding attachments to an e-mail being sent via Safari.  Also is there a way to send large files as an attachment.  I was able to do this when I was using mountain lion.  Help please.

  • I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

    As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

    Crowntheme,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?
