The catalog could not be opened.  An internal programming error occured.

I have gotten the following error when I started Elements today...
Failed To Open Catalog
! The catalog could not be opened.  An internal programming error occured.
I have tried to move the catalog to a different directory to no effect.
This computer is rarely online, it is only used to catalog my pictures, and I have 100s of hours of work in this catalog.
Is this recoverable?  How did this happen?
Background:
Size of the catalog directory: 61MB
Core Version 9.0.3
Operating Systems: 6.1 SP1
Thanks for your support.

Create a new, empty catalog:  Hold down your Shift key when launching the Organizer and you'll get the Catalog Manager window.  Create a new catalog, naming it something completely different than your existing catalog.
Once you're in the Organizer, use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager window.  Highlight your old catalog and hit the "Repair" button.  When that finishes, repeat, using "Optimize".  Then try to open your old catalog.

    Your solution worked when applied to a administrative user account but did work with a student account.
    I'm not sure why that is happening.
    If you're on Vista or Windows 7, you could try setting the program to run permanently as Administrator, as described here:

    If that doesn't help, my only suggestion would be to work through these tedious troubleshooting steps:

    Surely you could provide some more information. Your system, what version of LR, is this your first attempt at using the program, or what has been prior experience?  Things are a bit foggy.

  • The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)

    Today, I downloaded the latest version of Itunes.
    When it finished installing it came up with the following error:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I have uninstalled iTunes, and all related Apple software and re-installed iTunes several times and still I get the same error.
    I contacted Apple support and was sent two emails. One detailing what needed to be uninstalled and then a web site to go to where I could download and install Microsoft's latest .NET Framework, which apparently was the root cause of the problem.
    I did as instructed:Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    1.iTunes
    2.QuickTime
    3.Apple Software Update
    4.Apple Mobile Device Support
    5.Bonjour
    6.Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later).
    Restarted the PC and then downloaded the latest version of Microsoft's .NET Framework - version 4.
    Restarted the PC again and received a strange message from some Apple application I have never heard of stating "CoreFoundation.dll file is missing".
    I GOOGLEd the message and found out I also needed to unistall another Apple application called MobileMe. So, I did this and restarted the PC again!
    I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes, again.
    Now I'm getting "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    From checking through GOOGLE, I believe it's something to do with user accounts and iTunes not being able to find the music folder???? But the answers I found all relate to Windows 64 pit PC's.
    I am running Windows 7, 32 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop.
    I cannot get support from Apple as I don't own a MAC. But I do own an iPhone but it's out of warranty.
    HELP !!!!
    Can anybody please help me?
    Thx

    If you go to the web page "http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923" and follow the "Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled" it does the trick. There are few other folders and files that alos need to be deleted!
    iTunes is now working.

    I get this message
    The document “BOULET PEANUT - OFF LINE 3-QuickTime H.264.mov” could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-101)
    Also QT will not play the audio of the files
    I'm on a mac pro, 10.7.4
    Everything updated
    Any know whats up and can help solve this, it seems to be a software related problem to QT 7 or X

    Exactly the same by my iMac.
    "The document ... could not be opened. An error occurred (-101)"
    I can play the same video with VLC player but not with QuickTime.
    QuickTime and iTune can not play anything at all.
    VLC Player however can play all medias without any problem.
    All my apps are uptodate.
    What could be the problem?

  • The itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)

    I have just tried to open iTunes and keep getting the message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)".  I've tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, still with the same error. I've tried restoring iTunes from Time Machine, still with the same error.  The error message appears to refer to an error downloading a purchase but I haven't made a purchase.
    Every fix seems to start with "step 1:- open iTunes" but I can't do that as I just get the error message.
    I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a core duo iMac, was using iTunes 11.0.2.  All software up to date accoring to software updater.  I haven't made any software updates since the last successful access of iTues and getting this error.

    Here's an article that lists error -42023 twice and therefore may be helpful:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    I believe these are the appropriate actions (from the above article):
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads 
    Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

  • I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

    Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50).

    I was using iTunes with Windows 7 without problem. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes (Version 9.2?) and now everytime I try to start up iTunes I get the message "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50)." I tried everything in the Online help section of the Apple website for Windows 7, including "repair", deleteing iTunes and reinstalling, and nothing works. What is going on? Does anybody else have this problem?

    Thanks. I actually looked at some of your previous advice on problems with Windows 7 and I disconnected my computer to wired and wireless networks, closed all programs, started CHKDSK and rebooted the computer and that solved the problem. iTunes is running perfectly so far. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention when CHKDSK finished and didn't get to see the report so can't let you know what it actually did, but it accomplished what all the the other solutions I tried did not (set up new user account, remove/replace preferences, remove/replace libraries. remove/reinstall iTunes, etc.).
    Thanks again for your attention to this issue.

    I feel for you -
    When I installed the 8.0.1 patch on my iMac, I noticed that iTunes quit working correctly after importing some new tracks. It would not quit. I had to force quit but then it would not open correctly the next time and it would not quit. From that point on, my computer went down hill. When I installed the latest security patch and executed a reboot, the system would not come up. I used my 10.5 DVD and repaired permissions, etc. Nothing worked. I booted off my backup drive and everything works fine.
    Even on my backup drive iTunes will not come up. I don't get an error but the Dock icon says "Application Not Responding". I renamed the iTunes folder and it created a new one on initial startup but it just hangs. I deleted iTunes, rebooted, re-installed iTunes and have the same thing.
    Tonight I experienced the same issue with iTunes not quitting on my MacBook Pro !
