Why has Lightroom 3.6 completely lost contact with my pictures?

Since the latest update, my Lightroom 3 catalog has gone completely blank. Find Missing Pictures comes up empty. The photo files are still on my Drobo and show up on Bridge. Do I have to reimport 1000's of files? Why did this happen?

David,
If it opens, then it has been converted if need be.
Move it to where you normally expect to find it and open it there. Make sure that your Preferences (General page) are set up to always open that catalogue.
You ought to set LR up to take periodic backups on exit. (Catalog Settings, General tab) Then, when it first asks you if you want to backup, click the "Choose..." button and choose a folder on a different physical hard drive from your catalogue.

Why has Lightroom dropped out of the CC app?

Why has Lightroom dropped out of the list of installed applications entirely? And this on two independent systems, even.
It was originally installed through CC and it is still working - but in the CC app it's now listed under "Install new apps".
Here's a screenshot from a couple of weeks ago:
And here's how it looks now:
And why isn't Photoshop showing any updates, with ACR 8.4 released???

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

Server 4: Cannot connect to remote server: "lost contact with the AuthService"

Attempting to upgrade to Server 4; have Server 4 app on my local Mac to administer a remote Mac mini running Server 4. Server app 4 on the mini connects to itself; however, I cannot user Server app 4 on my local Mac to connect remotely to the mini. Have verified the machine name, user, and password are all correct (they haven't changed and worked fine under Server 3.2.2). Console on the local machine shows the following error:

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.
I changed the setting at the placed labeled "2" to link local only, then I think I hit save at "3". Then poof, I had no network contact with my cRIO.
I tried;
Hitting the reset button
Opening a closing MAX
Going to safe mode
Throwing the Reset IP switch
Power cycling the cRIO
Running cat 5 cable directly from the Host to my target
None of it worked, and I have no contact with my cRIO.
This is what MAX looks like now. How can I fix this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Make sure to disable the firewall on your computer.
Otherwise you can check through the steps in this documentation:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ABE4BC247E8AC9BC8625734E005CAB42
Note specifically that one option is to read the console out from the target VIA the serial port will a null modem cable during boot and it will indicate what IP the system is using.

Muse Lost Contact with my Site

First of all, I'd like to tell you how bad it sucks to have to go through this process to get support. My recommendation of Muse just went from a 10 to a 4; this is unacceptable.
Out of NOWHERE, Muse lost contact with my site. I didn't do A SINGLE THING different, but now my site will no longer update. I've gone as far as to delete everything and starting over, uploading 80 pages and 787 files to try to make my site functional again, to NO AVAIL. Even though I've deleted the site, it is still active.
I've started 'fresh' 3 times. I have never had a problem linking a site to a URL, or Muse to a URL for updating. I'm frustrated and flabergasted. Now I'm at the mercy of the ******* COMMUNITY to get help with something ADOBE's malfunction/ dysfunctional product caused?!?! W T F .
How do I resolve this issue?

The best place to go for immediate support is Live Chat at <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=using-my-product-or-service> and click on "I still need help…" and then "Chat now".
The best place to tap into a large group with very deep and broad experience using, developing and supporting Muse is here on the forum. Those active of the forum include fellow Muse users and members of the Muse Technical Support and Product Development Teams.
What specifically are you attempting that's failing? FTP Upload? Publish? Or something else? Can you provide a screenshot of what error(s) you're encountering so we can better understand how we can help? What's the URL for your site? Thanks.

Thumbnails lost contact with originals in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2.) – can't view fullscreen or edit!

Over the past days my headache over the iPhoto '09 library has gone from bad to worse.
Starting with a few albums and events from last year, iPhoto has stopped displaying some photos (mainly landscape-oriented photos, upright photos seem to be working fine most of them) in fullscreen, edit mode and slideshows.
Browsing through the apple community I've realized that this issue may be due to thumbnails losing contact with original photos. Indeed, I can't seem to export photos to desktop or any other location. "Show original file" or "show file" only opens an empty Finder window, doesn't connect with the Picture folder or anything.
I've also tried entering the Library manually from another working photo, and can't seem to locate a number of pics. It seems the originals are simply lost.
Some of the missing pictures are irreplacable (like my son's birth!).
I'd be INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for any advice on how to save these photos.
Cheers/ AB

The simple and surefire solution is to restore from back up.
If files are missing then that's the only solution.
To rebuild the Library:
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. .

Windows 2012 DHCP Failover "Lost contact with partner"

We have stood up a pair of Windows 2012 DHCP servers and configured DHCP failover (in Load Balancing mode) as per the Microsoft Technet article. The two servers are on the same subnet, and time is in sync between them. Almost immediately after
configuring scopes to failover, one node loses contact with the other, and the alternate node goes to failover mode "Recover".
We have restarted both servers and services. Both DHCP servers show as available. Clicking "Replicate Failover Scopes" completes successfully with no errors, and the only two warnings in the Event Log are about credentials for Dynamic
DNS updates and a dynamic IPv6 address (which we don't use at all.)
How come they can replicate, but have "lost contact"; and how do we get the one out of "Recover" mode?

You should see Recover state only if one of the DHCP server actually went down and came back up. In this case the server which comes back up would be in Recover state but will transition to Recover_Wait state and come back to Normal after it syncs it
leases. This should be relatively quickly. Did your servers continue to remain in the Lost Contact...\Recover state for long.
Did you see any events in the DHCP Server admin channel
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\Admin.
You can also enable AuditLogs (Microsoft\Windows\DHCP
Server\AuditLogs) which logs all the server to server messages. You can enable the log by right clicking on
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server. View->Show Analytical and Debug Logs. This will show the
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\AuditLogs in event viewer. You can then right click and enable the log and see if there are any failures
being logged there.

I actually have a dozen of so other boxes that generate the same error and just one where in runs perfectly every time.
All are in same data center on similar phisical hardware with same windows OS. Only difference I can see is a folder with instaclient 11 on the machines where it fails.

Transferring a license when lost contact with original owner?

I bought Production Premium CS3 a while back second hand from ebay. When I bought it they gave me their details that they said I would be able to transfer the license over with. Ive had it installed on my laptop a while now, however I never got round to transferring the license. That was about a year ago and I cant find their details or get in contact with them to help transfer the license over. Is there any way I could still transfer the license over to myself without needing to get in contact with them?

No. Both sides must provide their info. The more relevant question is, though, whether they actualyl ever registered their software with Adobe. If not, then you have nothing to worry about...

Calendar has lost contact with the server

All has been working well till about 2 weeks ago. I have iPhone4S, iPhone5 and iPad mini + iMac running OSX 10.8.3. all of which were synced to iCloud Calendar. I have not changed anything (as far as I remember). Now the Calendar on the iMac returns an error message "The server responded with an error. The server is currently unreachable or the connection is blocked". Calendar on each of the other 3 is working correctly through iCloud, all syncing together.
The Calendar on iMac will accept entries and operate independently of iCloud but there is no sync. Entries from the other 3 sources are not being written to the iMac nor the other way around.
Contacts and Notes are working correctly between all 4 sources and iCloud. So it seems that the iMac is linked OK to iCloud but Calendar & Reminders only are not.
Where should I go looking to determine if I have changed a setting for Calendar & Reminders that stops it talking to iCloud?
HollowFrog

You can manually backup contacts using My Contact Backup and email yourself the backup file and imported to outlook there might also be a separate app to backup calendar.
Have you tried resyncing outlook to iCloud?
