Tutorials no help

How do you use Lightroom5? Can make neither head nor tail from so called Lightroom 5 tutorials.  Tells me that Lightroom creates library on installation, which makes it impossible to find any of my images via Lightroom. It tells me how to import images from a camera card, but nothing about dealing with images already on computer  Apparently lightroom wants to put everything into it's default folders, or something like that. I already have tens of thousands of images organized into folders.  There's nothing in the instructions that tells me how to deal with them.  Saw post by someone else who said that Lightroom has taken all their images out of  existing folders and they have no clue as to how to get them back into their proper folders.

Hi Doc,
I'm sorry to hear that you're running into problems. A few things:
* Are you saying that when you click Import, Lightroom doesn't show your C drive and Users folders in the Source panel? Here is what I see? Typically, you'd pick a folder or sub-folder under My Pictures, although you might be putting your photos somewhere else, which is fine.
This is Windows 7. What OS are you using?
Please let me know if you continue to see nothing.
Finally, the videos under Lightroom Workspace on http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-lightroom-5/ might help give you more detail regarding how LR works and how best to make it work with your existing workflow.
Regards,
Randy Nielen

  • My HD on my pc just recently went down.  I had to buy a new HD and reinstall windows on the new HD.  I am running a 64 bit system, and have installed itunes (x64). itunes wont recognize my phone. I have done all troubleshooting tutorials.  HELP!

    I just had to replace the HD on my system.  I am running a x64 system and have installed the correct version of iTunes.  ITunes will not recognize my phone since the new install.  I have went online and followed all of the troubleshooting guides on Apple support.  No good.  I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times.  I have even tried reinstalling windows.  I also get an error message when I start up Itunes that reads " The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other cd burring software.  Please reinstall ITunes.  I am so frustrated, I know there has to be a solution.  I tunes works in all other senses, just not recognizing my Phone.  I need help, my wife and I both have iPhones and need to sync.......... 
    Please Help

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • I just started doing illustrator tutorials. please help me with feedback :)

    Hey guys, i just started doing tutorials and i need your feedback to improve. i would like to know what you think of my first video. I would really appreciate it
    How To Save Artwork In Adobe Illustrator - YouTube

    TGB,
    You say/show Fit to Artboard, but I believe it should be Fit to Artwork.
    When you save with Create PDF Compatible file ticked, you actually have a full PDF included in the file so you can always open it with Acrobat/Reader. It may also be worth mentioning that it is safer to Save a Copy when you want a PDF, better safe than sorry, some have found themselves without the AI file.
    For crispness of vector artwork (and avoidance of lossiness) always choose PNG(24) over JPEG, transparency or no transparency.
    For web and similar use, you should always make sure that the actual pixel x pixel size fits, and that is easier when you use Save for Web. You can use the Art/Type Optimized option (hidden away) in the Image Size window.
    You may (or may not) wish to use the (mostly) dreaded Align to Pixel Grid when creating artwork for web and similar.

  • Why won't PS CC2014 find Adobe Flashplayer to view tutorials?  Have downloaded & installed several times.  Says complete, but won't open tutorials.  Help!

    Can't view tutorials because msj is that I need Adobe Flashplayer.  I've downloaded and installed it several times.

    Perhaps you've downloaded the wrong one. Do you use Internet Explorer as your browser? Is there a specific link in the message that you follow?

  • Please help, any tutorials, tips, guides???

    hi, i need to make some leaflets for work and little card type things with borders around them. i also need to be able to insert photos etc.
    are there any tutorials or help guides on line i can be directed too.
    please help.
    my job is on the line!!!

    Hi x..
    Have you read the AppleWorks Help documents that came with the application? To access them, open AppleWorks, then go to the Help menu. For the two projects you list, the Draw environment seems the best choice tool to use.
    If your leaflet is a trifold brochure, you'll find an example brochure (that you can base yours on) in the Templates section of Starting Points. Some of the other templates in this section may also give you ideas about the cards or about other forms of leaflets.
    The graphics included in AW's Clippings library don't include a borders section, and most of the clippings are a bit dated.
    Although AppleWorks is fine for simple brochures and cards, you may find that Pages, part of iWork is more flexible and easier to work with for this purpose. One potential problem there is that iWork may be in line for an upgrade next month (the last two Januarys have both seen full version upgrades to iWork). While that won't make the current version obsolete, the new one will likely include more capabilities and some improved features.
    As for online tutorials, a search for "AppleWorks tutorial" (with or without the quotes) will bring up quite a few. Most, though, seem aimed at a school setting, and the majority are strongest on the word processor module.

    Actually, it still does not work correctly. Because I have
    already applied a background image to the containing div, it
    appears correct. The sponsors div content actually still falls
    below the center, content div, instead of being top-aligned with
    the headlines and content divs.

  • Help with JQuery Mobile App- Passwords

    Hello,
    I just downloaded the Dreamweaver CS5.5 trial today onto my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.6) and am trying to make a JQuery Mobile web app.  Once users get to the webpages on their iphone/android, I need them to be able to login so that they can get data specific to that specific user.  So far, I have
    <div data-role="content">     
    <form id="form1" name="form1" method="POST" action="<?php echo $loginFormAction; ?>">
      <p>
        <label for="username">Username:</label>
        <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />
      </p>
      <p>
        <label for="pwd">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" />
      </p>
      <p>
    <input type="submit" name="doLogin" id="doLogin" value="Login" />
      </p>
    </form>     
         </div>
    This makes a nice looking username and password login area, but now I do not know what to do after the user inputs their information and clicks on the "Login" button.  Somehow, I need it to recognize a correct username/password, and link to a different page if it is correct, and produce an error if the username/password combination is incorrect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated; I'm really new at this.
    Thank you.

    Hi Lydia, first off welcome to the world of Dreamweaver!
    Much like anything in DW it takes time to learn these things, especially the new technologies. Here is a page in the Adobe Developer Center that has many tutorials to help you get on the right track with the mobile stuff.

  • Can anyone help get me started on making a simple custom web gallery template?

    I have tried using the documentation and a freeware template as an example, but I am getting confused, and I think the template is over-complicating things.
    I have a web-template that requires the following to get images to automatically work in a gallery:
    Full size images in a specific folder
    Thumbnails or each full size image in another specific folder
    Simple HTML code for each image which allows for image title and description information
    The script takes care of the rest.  So what I want to do is have Lightroom genereate the images in their specific folders, and the HTML code on the fly for each gallery I wish to publish to my website.  I'm posotive this can be done, but I'm having trouble customizing the code.  I've tried looking for tutorials and help, but the documentation on this is limited, and I'm not a programmer.  I do however have enough experience with basic web design to be able to work with existing templates with relative ease but this is seemingly difficult as I'm not sure what each file in the plugin structure is actually doing.  Any suggestions on how I can make a simple gallery output like this?  Or a link for a good, solid, easy, step-by-step tutorial?
    Many thanks in advance!

    You don't need the intermediate step of uploading to Verizon; you can upload directly to Facebook from your phone.  You need to go to your Facebook account, and set up your mobile number; then you will get a personalized email address and you can send a text message with the picture and any caption you want to that email address and it will show up as a mobile upload on your timeline.
    You *used* to be able to text a status update or a pic to 32665 (FBOOK) but that didn't always work.

  • RemotingMessage vs. RemoteObject in AS3 help needed

    Hi,
    Could someone clarify the difference between using RemotingMessage and RemotObject to invoke RPC in AS3 code? I found two different examples online and I don't know, which one is preferable.
    --first example http://www.ghost23.de/blogarchive/2008/10/connecting-flas.html --
    var remotingMsg:RemotingMessage = new RemotingMessage();
    remotingMsg.operation = "multiply";
    remotingMsg.body = methodArguments;
    remotingMsg.destination = "calculate";
    remotingMsg.headers = {DSEndpoint: "java-amf"};
    var respnd:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);
    netConnection.call(null, respnd, remotingMsg);
    --end of first example--
    --second example http://www.flasher.ru/forum/blog.php?b=44 --
    amfChannel= new AMFChannel("my-amf", "http://192.168.10.38:8080/samples/messagebroker/amf");
    amfChannel.requestTimeout = 3;
    amfChannel.connectTimeout = 3;
    channelSet = new ChannelSet();
    channelSet.addChannel( amfChannel );
    amfChannel.addEventListener(ChannelFaultEvent.FAULT, handleChannelFault);
    amfChannel.addEventListener(ChannelEvent.CONNECT, handleChannelConnect);

    ro.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onResult);
    ro.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFault);
    ro.getOperation("hello").send("Piter2");
    --end of second example--
    The first one is shorter but it is not clear to me what are the implications of choosing one way over another.
    Thanks

    If you have a button on the same timeline as your code with
    the instance name of abt_mgn_btn, then, when this button is
    released, the playback head will jump to frame 10 of the current
    timeline and continue to play.
    If you want the playback head to jump to that frame and stop
    then, either use gotoAndStop(10), or put a stop(); command at frame
    10. GotoAndStop() will work more reliably.
