Cannot start a catalog from a backup file
Hello
Back up files from my iMac to an external hard drive, including all the photos and the Lightroom Catalog by using time machine.
And now I'm on my way with my MCBook Air, it seems I can't launch the catalog (Lightroom Catalog.Ircat) from the backup file on the disk hard ext, he says that "the catalog cannot be used because the parent folder"xxx"does not allow files to be created in the breast of this".
Wouldn't be because the original catalogue was in my iMac hard drive not in this backup ext hard drive? Does it really matter?
However, I can open the Preview.Irdata file catalog Lightroom in Lightroom and import them into the current Lightroom Catalog, that I created in my Macbook Air. When I export the file, the file size appears smaller than usual.
So my questions are:
1 is there a way I can start the Catalog.Ircat with Lightroom file on the backup ext hard drive?
2. If the answer is 'no' to the above question, will I create a new lightroom catalog in this backup (for my iMac) ext hard drive, and then import all the pictures once more?
3. I found there is an option to "Import an another catalog" in Lightroom, it will work for my situation? He did not try as I worry I'll make a mess, and I guess if I can't start this catalogue in the disk hard ext, I am not able to import as well.
3. the Preivew.Irdata file does not allow me to have the larger size of file to export is that correct?
4. Finally, what is the suggestion to resolve all these long-term problem? Will I pass all (both from my iMac and Macbook Air) photos on a disk hard ext, and then export the current catalog to my Macbook Air on the same disk hard ext and import photos from my iMac in this catalogue (that is, a single catalog LR)?
Thank you for sharing your experience and your suggestion so that I can better manage the LR catalog and smoothly in the future.
See you soon,.

Hi Chuen,
It seems that the external hard drive does not write the changes on it and that's why the error that says "the catalog cannot be used because the parent folder"xxx"does not allow files to be created in the breast of this."
The error is not related to your original catalog being located on the hard drive in the Imac.
I suggest that you copy this file .lrcat and .lrdata from your local external hard drive to a location on your hard drive and try to launch it from there.
If this does not work, then you can go for the option to create a new catalog and 'Import from another catalogue'
Let us know if this is useful or if you need additional assistance.
Kind regards
Claes

Vista cannot start because of accidentally deleted system files
Hello
my laptop was working very well until some files were accidentally deleted and now Vista cannot start.
There is a message saying that I need to contact the system administrator or the manufacturer of the pc.Is there anything you could recommend?
I would appreciate if you could help me find a way to record all of the information contained in hard drives.see you soon
If you are not able to boot up the laptop and refuse it to Vista to start then take recovery in hand, insert it and start on this CD from Toshiba.
Then the cell phone should boot from the recovery CD and reinstall the whole OS again.
This should help, but the HARD drive will be formatted. -
Rebuild catalog from a cache file?
Each year, I create a new catalog and now 2015 is the display "there is no media to preview" while all other years works very well. For some reason my catalog for 2015 file has now no photos associated w and it is a very small file, 113KO that my thumb.5.cache file still seem to have useful information. Since it is 165, 000 KB. I searched my computer for the appropriate catalog file and can't find it. I repaired, I've optimized and still get "There is no media to preview" where there was once the thumbnails for 9 000 photos.
And no, unfortunately, I did all the backups of the catalogues.
So, you can rebuild a catalog from a cache in items 12 file organizing or in some other way?
I tried the .pse12db of the entire computer, (3 hard drives and 2 external hard drives) and never able to find the one I needed. I found in the file where it should have been, but he had no photos associated with it.
However, I searched all hardrives all .tly files and found a backup that I must have done that crashed in the process. Crazy thing, it's just C:backup.tly, not even in a record or drive F, where pictures and other adobe files are kept. After running this backup for 40 min., almost everything has been restored. I am happy. I'm sure one way or another was my fault (or another Member of the family close it without knowing), I'm just glad the organizer of adobe was able to remedy.
Thank you, all is well!

Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?
Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).
No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.
This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?
I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?
Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.
Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you.
If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
+ Important INFORMATION +.+ your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
+ your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
+ HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
+ and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.+ Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
+ Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
+ Gets severely damaged.However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.I hope I could help you.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
Manage space > view backups...I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.
However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.
Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.
In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.
Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?
Any help much appreciated - thank you.
Simon
Update: I checked on other PCs in the office and the situation is the same - is not only something strange on a PC.

I had to create a new catalog from a backup folder
Since the creation of this new catalogue... I don't have a backup inside newly created ths catalog folder. Help... everything I have is the main extracts of catalog-2 and -2.lrat with the lightroom icon. If this catalog crashes I have no backup... Although llightroom seems be save the catalog... where will the backkups!
When the dialog box is displayed prompting you to create a backup, there is an option to allow you to choose where your backups are stored. If I ever have to restore a backup catalog, I copy the backup catalog in the original folder where the other catalog. And backups should continue to be stored in their original location.

Transfer photos from a backup file?
My computer has been replaced recently and all my documents and photographs have been transferred and are found in a backup file on my new computer. Photos of 5000 + were all in different folders and subfolders. When I transferred to 9 elements, however, the photos were all in chronological order rather than in folders that I originally placed in. How can I transfer photos that will remain in the files that have already been marked?

Cannot start web server on the executable file
Hello
We have a problem with a Web server - we cannot get to initialize the help of nodes of property or the ini on a compiled executable file.
As part of our application, we are starting the Web server to publish a status page to be read remotely. This works very well when we are running in the development environment and also when we run an executable a PC with installed development environment, however it will not boot on a PC with just the runtime installed.
I have attached some of the code that functionally does exactly the same thing in our main application. I used this as my Tester code and built in an exe while trying a lot of different things to fix.
When executing:
- The code will sit in the while loop until I press stop.
- Web server: Active Server = FALSE
- Out error = ERROR No.
In the full application the while loop waits a few seconds before throw an error if the server is not started. In this example, I can let the loop running for awhile without leave. Normally, the boot time is<50ms when="">50ms>
It's the ini file to the executable file:
[WebTest]
server.app.propertiesEnabled = True
Server.OLE.Enabled = True
server.tcp.serviceName = "My Server computer/VI"
server.vi.propertiesEnabled = True
WebServer.Enabled = True
WebServer.TcpAccess = "' + * '"
WebServer.ViAccess = "' + * '"
DebugServerEnabled = False
DebugServerWaitOnLaunch = FalseAnd it is the Web server configuration file:
ErrorLog "$LVSERVER_ROOT/logs/error.log".
LogLevel 3
The default server name
DocumentRoot "$LVSERVER_ROOT /... /.. '. "/ www".
Listen 8000
ThreadLimit 10
TypesConfig "$LVSERVER_ROOT/mime.types»
DirectoryIndex index.html
LoadModulePath "$LVSERVER_ROOT/modules '" $LVSERVER_ROOT/LVModules "" $LVSERVER_ROOT /... ".
LoadModule LVAuth lvauthmodule
LoadModule LVSnapshot lvsnapshotmodule
LoadModule LVRFP lvrfpmodule
LoadModule dir libdirModule
LoadModule copy libcopyModuleAddHandler LVAuthHandler
AddHandler LVSnapshotHandler .snap
AddHandler LVRFPHandlerAddHandler dirHandler
AddHandler copyHandler"CustomLog"$LVSERVER_ROOT/logs/access.log"'%%u %t \"%r\ hour' % > s %b.
KeepAlive on
KeepAliveTimeout 60
Timeout 60As can side note, anyone tell me where the $LVSERVER_ROOT variable is configured?
I tried the things:
- Copy a new default configuration file before the entry into force
- Writing a predefined file (encoded) before initializing config
- Definition to root before initializing directory (it actually generates an error because the server is not active...)
- Set WebServer.Active = TRUE several times inside the while loop
- Toggle the web server in the ini file
System:
- LabVIEW 2010
- PC with Windows 7 running
Thanks for any help, because it makes me crazy slow!
Ben
Hi Marco, thanks for the reply.
I have this guide was reviewed previously and had done all that he but a small section who gave me a hint of something to try and I have solved my problem, so thank you!
If anyone is interested, here's the problem:
The directive DocumentRoot folder in the config must exist or the Web server cannot be started. So basically, make sure that the file points to a folder that exists!
This leaves two small annoying problems if - you can't see if the file exists (and then create it) before starting the Web server, because you can not query the path to the folder without the Web server running.
AND
You can't really define the configuration programmatically file as parameters from the file are responsible for execution, not on the start Web server.
The result of this is that the config file and the folder root document should be created (and corresponding of course...) when the executable is built / installed on the system. Not a massive headache, but it means do not forget to put things in the build specification and do not rely on software to do the job at startup

Passport photos blackBerry missing from the backup file
I did a "full" backup December 29, 2015. I started having a few jumps on my Audio, so I decided it would be a good idea to reformat my 32 GB SD which I did. I made a Custom Restore (media only), and all my photos are gone (about 800). So I did a full restore and still no pictures. What have I done wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
2016 HAPPY!
Backup does not back up the microSD card. The only media saved are files stored in the memory on board the aircraft.
Check and see if you have been sync'ing media and that he did not know. If so, there will be a folder in your music folder with music from the BlackBerry and similar files in the pictures for the photo files...

Cannot start MS M30 due to damaged files
Hi people,
I am a proud owner of a Satellite Pro M30. Way I wanted to start the laptop today he said theres a file damaged \windows\system32\coonfig\system.
I had a look at the website mocrosofts and found the solution for the problem: How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup
But the problem is - it does not work with the product recovery CD. I don't know what to do now, I really need help!THX
Hello Seppl
If you try to repair the OS, I have to say that you will not be able to do using the restore CD. Restore CD contains recovery image and repair option you must use the facilities of Microsoft CD. Maybe some friend of you's original facility Microsoft WXP CD.
Using the recovery CD, you can do the clean operating system installation.

Cannot delete download only from my own files in iBooks for Mac
My Mac does not allow me a file a file that I have not purchased through the iBooks store. It only allows me to remove all the devices iOS and iCloud folder.
Only downloads of purchased books are allowed to remove from my Mac.
On iOS devices, it works ok for both purchased and my own files.
According to the Apple support site, this should work for all files on Mac:
Mac
- Open IBooks.
- Scroll down to find the item that you want to remove.
- Right-click or Ctrl-click on the item you want to delete, then select Delete.
- Click on remove all to remove the iCloud file and all your devices.
Click on delete download to delete only the copy stored on the device that you are using. The file remains in iCloud and other devices.
Am I the only one having this problem that resembles a bg?
Had the same problem. I spoke for 45 minutes with Apple on the phone, and ultimately they kind of had to admit he did not "optimal" (read: it's a bug)
It works perfectly on the iPad, btw, where you will have the choice between removing a local copy or it drops everywhere.
