Windows Vista 64 Lightroom v1 Catalog Problem

I have a new computer running Vista 64 and an older version of Lightroom. The software seemed to install ok, but after I copied over the catalog files to the new computer, the catalog appeared to be empty (I selected that file). The catalog is fine on the old computer but appears to be empty on the new computer. Is that a Vista issue? Do I need to upgrade to a new version of Lightroom? Thanks..

You need to be more specific about what isn't there when you say the catalog "appears to be empty". Lightroom works with Vist and 1.3 and 1.4.1 at least work with Vista 64 bit. You should update to 1.4.1 if you haven't done so already

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems- Help!

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems reading/writing from disk when attempting to repair - Help! I have my LR box in hand and my product keys and license info but can't find the disk. I'm assuming this is the only way to repair. Suggestions, Comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Corrupt catalog will not be fixed by re-installing the Lightroom software (although if I were you, I'd still find that disk!)
If I were you, I would first check a recent backup of your catalog file, and see if that will open (double-click on it in your operating system). If that opens properly, I would just use that file.
If it doesn't open properly, then one trick that sometimes works is to open a blank catalog in Lightroom, then File->Import from Another Catalog and point to the catalog file.
And if that doesn't work, please write back with a lot more details, including operating system, version of Lightroom, and much more detail abou

Lightroom 4 - Catalog problem?

I recently installed Lightroom 4.0 on my new Windows 7 Home Premiun SP1 (64 bit) computer and imported my Lightroom 3.6 catalog into a Lightroom 4 catalog.
I have two problems which may or may not be related.
First:
While working in the Library, adding key words, etc., Lightroom will suddenly report in the current photo "The file named "xxxx (either .mrw or .jpg)" is offline or missing". On viewing the folder listing in the left-hand pane, all of the folders display with a "?". They did not do so moments before.
Second:
My LR4 import path is C:\Users\Bain\Pictures\My LightRoom.
However, Lightroom is displaying the folders imported since the upgrade as if they are in the root of C:
When I view the folders in Windows Explorer they are displayed properly in the My Lightroom folder.
I'd apprecaite any suggestions or help in resolving these issues.
Bain

Thanks for your reply Brett
Let me clarify the issue of the Missing Folder.
1.       The Lightroom 4 folder listing is normal
2.       While working on a photo in a folder I receive the "The file named "xxxx (either .mrw or .jpg)" is offline or missing" message.
3.       All of the folders in the folder listing are displayed with the question mark “?”.
4.       This issue has occurred multiple times.
I worked in Lightroom until I was able to recreate the “offline or missing” message, and all the folders in My Lightroom displayed ‘?’
I followed your instructions, right-clicking on the folder the error occurred in, selecting Find Missing Folder and browsing the folder location, the folder view flickered, but all folders continued to display ‘?’.
While I was typing this, the folder listing in LR ‘refreshed’ and the folders no longer displayed ‘?’
As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating.

Windows Vista lightroom 2 RAW support

I have read many responses to other questions about this but no solution. I need to be able to edit my RAW photos in lightroom 2 that is fully updated and i use Windows Vista at this time. Any suggestions that are realistic?

What camera are you using? A "fully updated" Lightroom 2 is really ancient software anymore. Lightroom has progressed to Lightroom 5.6, and it seems that Lightroom 6.0 is on the horizon. No announcements have been made regarding that, however.
If you shoot JPEG, you have no concerns using Lightroom 2. But since you want support for your raw files, unless you are using a very old camera it is unlikely that you will be able to work on those native raw file's. It might be possible for you to use the DNG converter, a newer version, to create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw files. And then you could work on those using Lightroom 2.
Lightroom has undergone significant changes and improvements since Lightroom 2. If you have invested in a modern more up-to-date camera I think it would be a shame for you to limit yourself to the capabilities of Lightroom 2. It would certainly be worth the investment for you to upgrade. However, you are limited there because the new version of Lightroom will not support Windows Vista. And since Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft you might consider a new computer with a new operating system.

Windows Vista and WiFi networking problem with MackBook Air

Hi, everyone!
Thanks in advance for the following help.
For some specific programms I need Windows Vista to be set up on my MacBook Air.
The problem with Broadcom WiFi adapter.
While moving large files over home network it hangs and looses the wifi network. It works OK while surfing the internet or doing other low traffic job. But when it comes to 2 MB/sec transfer it doesn't work. I tried two different routers, no positive result. PC works propely on any file sizes. After booting the Leopard the problem goes away. So it is onle Windows Vista problem.
May be drivers? I tried 4.170.25.19 Windows Vista drivers from Broadcom - it didn't help. But I am not goog in driver settings in Control Panel, so may be the solution is there.
Any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks for help in advance.
Andrey.

Hello Nescom. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm afraid I really don't have an answer for you but I can offer my experiences with large files transfer with Vista. My current home network is a combination of Windows PC, Windows Servers, and Macs. Large file transfers between most of them have relatively the same performance, except when transferring large files from the Vista PC to any other OS. It is demonstrably slower. Interestingly, transfers between Vista machines does not appear to be a problem. I understand that this is a known problem by Microsoft and was supposed to be fixed with Vista SP1.
So the problem might not be your network, but Vista itself. I'm curious if you have this problem when transferring large files to another Vista device?

Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem

I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
Anyone know a fix to any of this?
Mahalos plenty!

Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Lightroom 4 catalog problem-can't find photos.

Lightroom 4 catalog does not recognize photos when external hard drive switched to a different USB port. The photos are in My Photopraphs in an external hard drive. I recently had to switch ports and now the catalog can't find the photos.

The tutorial was updated a few weeks back, and since Lr5 uses different badges to denote missing files I created a new version. Your link goes to the new version but OP is using version 4.
Link to version for Lr2 thru 4 is at http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder-old.htm

Problems with USB on Windows Vista - Satelltie A210 (PSAFGE)

Hi!
I just bought myself a new notebook - Toshiba A210 - 15Y (PSAFGE) with Windows Vista preinstalled. The problem is that the notebook doesn't want to work with any USB devices. Whether I try to use a simple USB stick, a mp3 player - he always asks for drivers. The first time I connected my mobile phone via USB it all worked.
When I tried it for the 2nd, 3rd etc. time it doesn't work. He always asks for drivers. Ok, so I installed the drivers for the phone - but the problem wasn't solved by this.
The Card-Reader is another problem - when I tried to use a SD-Card, he again asked for drivers.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I'd advise you to reinstall Vista using the recovery cd that came with the laptop. Also, check in the device manager whether all the devices are installed correctly.
Come back if the problem persists, we'll think of something else.

Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

Hello,
I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
and still have the same problem.
Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello Again,
I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

¿Problems with Windows Vista or Sony Vaio?

Hello everyone
I have a Cisco 2100 WLC with two Access Points 1130, with two WLAN networks, one with WPA2 and the other with Web-Authentication. The two networks works correctly, but I have a client, a Sony Vaio with Windows Vista, which usually give problems, disconnects, and when you try to reconnect, you can not.
When this happens, in the WLC appears the error "Decrypt errors Occurred for client xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx using WPA2 key on 802.11b / g interface of AP xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" .
Sometimes several times to restart the laptop, reconnect. The network card is an Intel 5100, anyone know if there is any inconsistency between this card and Cisco AP? Or is it a matter of O.S.?
I have no other Windows Vista client to verify, the other clients are Windows XP and 7. I have tried reinstalling different drivers on the laptop and not the solution.
Thanks

Hi Carlos,
Make sure that:
1. you are running latest driver from intel on your laptop
2. use only AES encryption with WPA2. If TKIP is also selected. Uncheck it and leave only AES.
Cheers

Problems authorizing my iTunes since I added Windows Vista...

Does anyone else install Windows Vista and have a problem authorizing their account? Like, mine says that it's authorized and when I go to play the song, it's automatically, unauthorized again. No me gusta. This is really, making me mad.

JeffreyTravis:
Let's see if we can find out what the problem is. Try this:
1. Choose Control Panel from the Start Menu.
2. Open Folder Options.
3. From the View tab, turn on this option:
Show hidden files and folders
and turn off this option:
Hide protected operating system files.
4. Click OK.
5. Navigate to Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Users > All Users > Apple Computer > iTunes
6. There should be a folder there named SC Info.
7. Right-click on that folder and choose Properties.
8. Click the Security tab
9. Select Everyone from the Group or user names list.
10. Use Print Screen to take a screen shot and save it as a Paint document on your desktop.
11. Repeat step 10 for SYSTEM and Administrators from the Group or user names list.
12. Email me those three screen shots.

I can't eject ("files in use by another application") Windows/Vista Issue?

OK... so in the grand scheme of things, this really is NOT the end of the world... but it sure is super-annoying!! This is my first every Apple product (took a while to get on the bandwagon) and I was hoping for more stability and ease of use... I've called AppleCare several times and they can't help me figure this out... according to them it's a Windows/Vista issue (which DOES seem likely). I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension E521.
Here's how it goes... I plug my iPod in, which opens up iTunes and it syncs fine. I wait until the top of iTunes says "sync complete" and the face of the iPod simply says "Connected". Then I click on the "eject" button next to the iPod listing in iTunes. It pauses for a moment, then I look down and the iPod suddenly has those syncing, circular arrows, moving again and it says "Synchronizing- do not disconnect". And then a few moments later, iTunes gives me a pop-up that says " XXXX ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application"
So obviously, something else is connecting to the iPod and preventing me from ejecting it using iTunes, but I have not been able to figure out what it is!
Since it's something on my machine, I have tried the following:
- shut down AntiVirus (TrendMicro Internet Security 2008)
- turned off Windows Firewall
- went through all the programs running in the task bar and turned them off
- opened up Task Manager and turned EVERYTHING else I could see off
None of the above have made any difference. The workaround that Apple gave me was to go into Computer and then right click on the listed drive and select "Safely Remove" which usually works (the times it doesn't work, it gives a similar message saying the device was being used by another application and can't be removed, try again later). But 90% of the time it works.
I use that or the Eject option when I right click on that drive (not sure the difference, they seem to do the same thing). The workaround works, but I'd sure LOVE to get iTunes to be able to eject my iPod!!
Here's what I've done regarding this iPod and iTunes:
- reset the iPod
- restored the iPod
- uninstalled and re-installed iTunes
- selected and unselected the various things I'm syncing (currently: Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos) to see if it was one of them causing the issue
NONE of the above has made any difference (and I've done each about 2-3 times, ZERO exaggeration).
I've called into AppleCare about half a dozen times now, hoping to get that one brilliant tech that knows more than the others... but no luck yet... so I thought I'd try this forum to see if one of the brilliant posters here can help me sort this out.
PLEASE- ANY help you can provide (or even just point me in the "right" direction of how to determine this) would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks so much in advance,
SC

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

Ipod nano first generation and windows vista

I finally got everything to work right with Itunes and Windows Vista except one minor problem.
On my ipod, the blue "dot" does not show up when a podcast is new, so in a long lists of podcasts, I can't tell which ones I already listened to.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you, Debra
