Why are LR3.3 and ext hdd not communicating?

I store all my images on an ext hdd which is synched with LR on my MacBook Pro. A couple of days ago, everything was fine. Just started up ext hdd and opened LR, to be told to 'Click the import button to begin'. Everything in LR is a blank; no recognition at all of the ext hdd, so no images, no nuttin'. Any ideas about what's happened and how to reconnect LR and the ext hdd?

Thanks for advice. Also suggested on forum reply. It's done the trick and LR and ext hdd are talking again.

  • Why are my iPad and iPhone apps not syncing?

    I put an app that is for both iPad and iPhone on my iPhone and it went on my ipad. But when I deleted the app on my iPhone, it was not deleted on my ipad. When I go to ITunes and apps stores under settings, Music, Apps, and Books are are all set ON on both devices. Help! What's wrong and what can I do to fix it?

    I may recall that you might have to charge your device in order for the automatic download to work. But I'm not 100% sure, it is worth trying out.

  • Why are the text and graphic elements not showing on the iPad

    I have a slideshow of pictures full bleed on my inDesign document with text and graphics on top of the pictures (not part of the slideshow).
    When I preview on the iPad all I can see is the gallery of images?
    Is it not possible to put text on top of a slideshow?
    Here it is as it appears on InDesign...
    ...and here as it appears on the iPad...
    Any ideas? I'm pretty new at this, but I couldnt find anything in the forums

  • Why are my back and forward buttons not working?

    I have restarted firefox with add-ons disabled and then in safe mode and they worked then but when closed firefox and then restarted it they don't work again. I don't know if one of my kids have done something but I am not sure what to do to fix it.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Why are my iphoto and itunes crashing every time I open them?  This is a new problem on my Mac Mini.  Have the latest software on my Mac Mini and the latest iLife sotware.  My mac mini is about 5 years old, always kept up to date.

    Hello Majorie,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null?

    session A is blocking session B.
    it was row-level lock.
    But, why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null in session A?

    Well, what do we know?
    Session A must have an uncommitted transaction.
    That uncommitted transaction is blocking session B.
    But session A could well be doing nothing now, could be churning away doing some sort of processing outside of the database (java client you said), might well be off doing something elsewhere in a distributed transaction.
    Who knows?
    Not necessarily the database.
    If you have ASH licensed, you might, might get a better picture of what session A was doing by looking at DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY but as this is sampled data and your statements might fly in and out, it might not be helpful.
    Note that even if prev_sql_id or sql_id were populated, these might not be the statements responsible for the lock.

    Have you done a sampling of all users, or only those users that don't like it? While I don't mind it, I don't think I even noticed it at first until someone pointed it out.
    I note that if you get Info on an item the icon is still colour so this is some OS level (we know best) overaly that's turning everything bland and boring, it would be nice if Apple let the user actually chose this rather than force it upon them ... just like Microsoft I'm sad to say.
    Microsoft? The '90s are over. But regardless of what decade you are living in, Apple has never been too big on end-user customization of the operating system. Apple has always discouraged the use of "themes" whereas Microsoft will allow people to do pretty much whatever they want.
    The file system icons are still the same as they have always been. The new monochrome icons are clearly a design trend more than any change to the underlying operating system. If you turn off the expanded view in any file save dialog (other than in Safari), you can still see the old, glorious, multicoloured icons. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could change the system-level images and make Finder and Mail look just like they used to.

  • Explanation - Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ?

    Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ? After all, IAS 8I/9I does contain a "database" in it -- but Oracle calls it a "data cache" !!
    Here's why ...
    The IAS 8I/9I "data cache" is intended to be a "performance enhancment" mechanism to avoid network round trips to the back end rdbms (called the 'origin' database in IAS terminology) for "rarely changing" data or application code accessed/used in the IAS 8I/9I mid-tier.
    The IAS "data cache" was initially extracted from rdbms 8.1.6 to use in IAS 8i (aka IAS 1.0.0 or 1.0.1) and now rdbms 8.1.7 to use in IAS 9i (formerly referred to as IAS 1.0.2).
    This was because the complete architecture and functionality needed to provide the IAS 9i's "performance enhancing read only" cache functionality already exists in the oracle 8i rdbms.
    (talk about o-o wanting to have high reusability !!)
    How about a practical application of why would you do this ??
    Think of the web site activity of a major online order system, for example, a ".com" that sells books. We can all think of the famous ones who would be ideal users of this type of design.
    Most of the transaction activity in an online order system is customers "browsing" the product catalog, looking at the
    descriptions of the books they might consider to buy. When a customer identifies a desired book, the customer can place an order.
    This typical customer behavior looks at the description for each book which is "rarely changing" information that is normally accessed in a "read only" mode.
    To improve performance for this online order system, the "rarely changing" information can be stored (or "cached") on the mid-tier in IAS 8i/9i's "data cache".
    How do this improve performance ??
    With the information available in the mid-tier "data cache", network roundtrips by IAS 8i/9I applications to the 'origin' rdbms are avoided, reducing the workload on the network and the 'origin' rdbms.
    Why do i still need a back-end or 'origin' rdbms along with ias 9i ?
    You still need the 'origin" database as the "master repository" for your books, their inventory system, and orders placed with your business.
    You also have the other necessary business systems they may or may not take advantage of the IAS design -- like shipping, payroll, Human Resources, etc.
    What happens if the data changes ?
    I kept repeating "read only" -- so - the next question is what do you do with "new or changing" data - like placing an order or updating the inventory ?
    Since the "master copy" of the information is retained on the origin rdbms, then all changes will occur there.
    When a new book is added or an existing book's information is updated or a book is dropped from the inventory, these changes are applied to the origin database.
    This information is then "refreshed" on the IAS 8I/9I "data cache" using the "management policies" available within IAS 8I/9I.
    These policies controls how and when to "refresh" the IAS 8I/9I data cache.

    In the following document:
    1) "Oracle9i Application Server Technical White Paper" located at :
    http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/pdf/9ias_102.pdf
    don -- right
    At the bottom of page 16 and the top of page 17 is the following....
    'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
    don -- right --- new name is Enterprise Java Engine (EJE)
    'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database ...'. '
    don -- almost right -- you left the key phrase off of it ...
    it is completed as follows : (CAPS - are mine for emphasis)
    'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database FOR EXECUTING JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS ON THE SERVER'. '
    STEVE --
    that's why i made the comment in the previous post which i've copied below :
    I don't think of it as a "database" even though some literature might refer to it as one in IAS 9i standard edition !!
    The term "database" has a lot of extra functions with it that are not in IAS 8i/9i!!
    for example, most RDBMS's have :
    1) updateable tables, etc.
    2) backup and recovery of data requirements
    3) etc.
    That's what makes the EJE in IAS different from an RDBMS -- the extra rdbms functrions are not needed...
    That's why I think of it as a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) in it. I was stuck on this also - now i can mentally exclude all of that extra functionality by calling it a "java code container" and not thinking of it as a "database".
    Since Oracle JVM is the common Java environment for both the Oracle database and Oracle9i AS,...'.
    The above gave me the impression that 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database.
    don -- 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database -- they are the same item -- a "stripped down" database or as i call it a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) -- formerly called the oracle 8i jvm -- in it.
    i think the term "database" in the literature is being used to emphasize where it came from (stable oracle 8i -- as opposed to totally new technology)
    but
    i personally think the term "database" implies to many people, it is a "fully functional rdbms" ... so they assume they don't need a back end -- or in ias terms -- an 'origin' rdbms.
    However -- i think this is where the confusion is ..
    as people understand the differences between ias and rdbms, they soon realize they must have an rdbms.
    However, the administrative instructions (that deal with setting up OSE) seem to point that the JVM is in a database.
    don -- right -- it is a "stripped down" database or a a "Java Code Container" as i call it.
    you still need to deploy the java code (servlets, jsp's, ejb's, corba, and java stored procs) to it.
    The command line functions that you use to do that with the 8.1.7 rdbms -- still apply.
    Commands like :
    loadjava, deployejb, dropjava, sess_sh, publishjsp, publishservlet, etc.
    Note :
    Obviously ias 8i "EJE" or ORACLE 8i JVM (the old name), is based upon the rdbms 816 functions (no OSE in it), so you can't deploy servlets and jsp's to the ias 8i EJE just like you can't to the 816 rdbms.
    I do find this subject (where is the JVM located) very confusing.
    don - right -- but you are picking it up -- hang in there !!
    Steve you asked --
    Don - is the EJE (OSE/OJVM) implemented through a database?
    'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
    don - right
    keep in mind from a java perspective -- the EJE is a "Stripped down" database that acts like a java code container that you connect to -- just like in 817 --- so you can deploy your code to it.
    it's also a jvm -- and you execute your deployed java code in it -- just like in 817.
    i hope this helps and i didn't confuse this topic further for you ...

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

    It is possible that you forgot to add a file extension (.json) while saving and in that case you may be looking for the wrong file.
    Also make sure that you search for hidden files and folder in case the file was saved in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Firefox won't import the file without a .json file extension ("Can't process ..."), but you can create a backup with any name.
