What's Wrong with Lightroom This time?

I have just returned from a trip to Hawaii.  I started importing my photos into Lightroom 5 as usual. The first card went fine, but during the import from the second card, Lightroom stopped working.  I tried to use escape, but the computer siezed up and the screen turned white and the computer refused to do anything else.  I shut it down and tried again.  The only way to get lightoom was to re-register, so I did.  Lightroom came back, but without any of my photos.  So I have lost 17,000 images or so.  If I cannot get them back, I am finished with Adobe.  How should I proceed?

Again, how were these lost - it may be clear to you what you mean, but it's not clear to me yet.

two cards, one CF, one SD
So, entire Hawaii trip contained on 2 cards, no redundent images? - did I get that right?

Find what?  Are you saying you have no backups of anything? Again: is you current catalog completely unreadable? - what happens when you try to open it in Lightroom?

It's OK to describe things as best you can without proper educated computer jargon, but I won't be able to help unless you really get serious about describing exactly what your situation is, to the best of your ability - is English your first language?

    Is there anything wrong with this?
    synchronized(this)I have try to do the following with a monitor object, but I get IllegalMonitoreStateException: current thread not owner when using:

    You need to wait on that which you own the monitor lock.

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.

  • Late sleep on MacBook Air, it must be the very long list of history in repair permission that how many times I repair it, when it's done, I do it again, suddenly it's a long list again, all about iTunes. So what's wrong with this iTunes 11.10.

    I predict something is going wrong because of the list history in verify permission disk. after I repair them for a few second , I do it again and also found that long list again..They are all about iTunes. So what's wrong with it. Thanks.

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:

    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

  • What's wrong with this formula?

    What's wrong with this formula?  Why am I getting 0?

    Mismatch in data types.
    Status, "=*Book*" is fine, as the content of the status column is text, and the condition is comparing it to a text string (with wild cards)
    But
    Event Date, "=*2011*" compares a Date and Time value in Event Date to a text string (with wild cards).
    Here's a demonstration, using COUNTIF to stand in for COUNTIFS.
    Note that the "book" counts are all correct.
    Note that the first Date count counts both occurrences of Jan 2, 2012 in column A, despite the difference in format used in displaying the dates, while the second counts neither, due to the wild card forcing it to look for a text string, not a Date and Time value.
    For your case, you'll need a COUNTIFS formula with three test-range, condition pairs:
    =COUNTIFS(Schedule :: $A,"=*book*",Schedule :: $B,">="&B2,Schedule :: B,"<="&B3)

  • My iphone consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    My iphone 5s consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    The long backups seem to be related to the size of the apps you installed, not the number. That's why some people with multiple pages of apps experience fast backups. There does seem to be a bug with the current firmware that can cause a crash when doing app uploads and syncs. This bug seems to be exacerbated by having large and many apps.
    I was experiencing frequent crashes, but have no more - even with 70 apps installed - some of them large like the American Heritage Dictionary which is several hundred megabytes. I did the following:
    1. I set iTunes to NOT do autosyncs every time I plug in. This setting is in the Itunes preferences.
    2. I disabled the autobackups in iTunes for the iphone. I figured that if it did crash and it was going to take 2 hours to restore, why not just reload. The instructions are readily found using google search; it involves a command line setting. Anyway, the phone doesn't crash anymore since doing this.
    3. I no longer install apps using the iPhone. I first install the app in iTunes and the I manually sync it to the iphone. I avoid doing multiple installs at once; at least for the large apps. Right click on each app and get its info from within itunes. If it is large, it is going to take time to backup.
    4. I always first shut off the iphone and restart it before installing any apps in itunes. This clears any memory issues left behind from use.
    I am going to continue to do these procedures until Apple releases a fix for the bugs relating to the apps.
    As noted, since I took these steps, I have had no crashes. I was crashing at least once every 1-2 days before with the same or less number of apps. I too was a first gen iPhone user and was very frustrated with the 3G experience. Since doing the above, I am once again a very happy and productive iPhone 3G user. I know its a pain to do this, but the bugs will get fixed at some point. I would never go back to my old phones - they were just phones.

    John hadn't responded at the time I started typing this, but I'll keep it posted anyways in order to expand on John's answer a little bit. The answer to your last question is that the loop's condition has to return true for it to run the first time around. To examine this further, let's take a look at the way you had the while loop before:
    while (daphne > deirdre)
    Now, a while loop will run the code between its braces as long as the condition inside the parenthesis (daphne > deirdre, in this case) is true. So, if the condition is false the first time the code reaches the while statement, then the loop will never run at all (it won't even run through it once -- it will skip over it). And since, before the while loop, both variables (daphne and dierdre) are set equal to the same value (START (100.00), in this case), both variables are equal at the point when the code first reaches the while statement. Since they are equal, daphne is NOT greater than dierdre, and therefore the condition returns false. Since the condition is false the first time the code reaches it, the code inside the loop's braces is skipped over and never run. As John recommended in the previous post, changing it to this:
    while (daphne >= deirdre)
    fixes the problem because now the condition is true. The use of the "greater than or equal to" operator (>=) instead of the "great than" operator (>) means that the condition can now be returned true even if daphne is equal to deirdre, not just if it's greater than deirdre. And since daphne and deirdre are equal (they are both 100.00) when the code first reaches the while loop, the condition is now returned true and the code inside the loop's braces will be run. Once the program reaches the end of the code inside the loop's braces, it will check to see if the condition is still true and, if it is, it will run the loop's code again (and again and again and again, checking to see if the condition is still true each time), and if it's not true, it will skip over the loop's bottom brace and continue on with the rest of the program.
    Hope this helped clear this up for you. Please ask if you have any more questions.
