Lightroom could not save the catalog

I get the following error when trying to save my catalog:

Lightroom could not save the name of the catalog 'Catalogue Lightroom'.

I use Lightroom CC 2015.5

I have over 300 GB of free space on my drive.  I have more than 3 GB of photos.

Backup follows these steps before the failure:

Integrity checking,

Copy of catalog

Catalog optimization

The Catalog backup compression


Any ideas on what to do next?

I had a chat with Adobe session live support.  She has tried everything that you guys recommended then asked me to delete a bunch of files on my C drive because it was pretty full.  She said that this drive should be at least 2 x the size of the free catalog.  Once I cleaned stuff backup succeeded.  Thank you all.

  • How to resolve the error: "lightroom could not import this catalog due to an unknown error" during an attempt of "import catalog?

    I have about 400 000 pictures of so given the high number of 15 years, I had all my photos in 6 catalogues to avoid potential problems. All photos and catalogs are in a 4 TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.

    I wanted to have a NEW catalogue of all my rated 1 star + photos of all years in a single catalog. So I created this I called Catalog + Star and told me the best option is to import a catalog at a time, and because there is no way to filter import them just photos now, I would like to import all the photos and then delete all the photos of UnStared. I did for the catalog of the year 2014, but in the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error. He had in fact imported about 40 k pictures of about 50 k total. I tried again and again and each time I end up with the same thing. I created a new another catalog and looked from scratch and the same ting happened: EXACT 40 k photos or JUST have been imported and others were not! When I imported catalog year 2013 of about 45 photos of k, it worked perfectly. But when I imported catalog year 2012 35 k photos, it's the same thing!

    All the tips: 1) on how to solve this problem? and (2) if there is a way better and easier to create this main catalog of all looked at them Photos of all my catalogs?

    Okay, my starting point is that LR can contain fortunately 400000 + photos, and it's a mistake to create a 1 star and catalogue as you suggest. Instead, I would recommend that you create a master catalog of all your photos, you can then question however you want - 2 stars, or a certain keyword, or with "xyz" in the title, etc.

    If you are intent on going this way, you could try a slight change in what you have done so far. Instead of trying to import a complete catalogue and then delete photos of TSE, take the 2012 and 2014 catalogs and select only the photos 1 star. Then to Export in the catalog for these items and import the 2014-1star and 2012-1star in your new catalog. Can pass the problem images that I think are the problem.

    If this does not work, or if you follow my initial advice, you're going to need identify the image where the failure occurs. You may have a corrupted image file, and replacement of your backup can be enough to solve the problem. Alternatively, it may be a corrupted in the catalog folder, and in this case, it may be sufficient to remove the image from the catalog and import it again. You can try to select everything in the catalog of 2014 and see if you can do an export as catalog, creating a 2014 clean and delete file previews of 2014 could also get rid of a potential problem. Another thing is to try exporting in the catalog for images 1-40000, then a second export as catalog images 40002 - 50 k.

    So a few things that you need to try, rather than a magic bullet and a recommendation to change the underlying meaning.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C410b: could not save the scanned images

    I use the HP Scan application and the error message: -.

    Could not save the scanned images

    appears when you try to save in a folder as a PDF or any other format.

    Ironically, if I'm going by sending to the printer and then save to PDF it works!

    I checked and I'm using 4.2.2 with El Capitan HP driver software

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The application from HP for your printer is not compatible with El Capitan, so the output files incorrectly recorded.

    In the Hewlett-Packard folder move HP Scan to the trash and empty it.

    Before you install and use the HP Easy Scan application below which should save the files correctly:

  • Could not import the catalog of items

    Good evening

    I just installed LR CC 2015.  I am trying to import my PS 12 elements catalog.  After the installation of LR, he asked if I wanted to import my catalog of items.

    I answer OK.

    It completes step 1 but very quickly the steps 2 and 3 flash by and the process fails with an error message "Cannot import catalog items due to an unknown error."

    I went to the elements and ran a repair of the catalog.  No problems were found, but I ran the repair anyway.  (I have only a catalog with photos about 7200 in it.)  Try the import again.  Same result.

    My computer is an iMac mid-2013 with 8 GB of RAM.  The OS is 10.11.4.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The problem has been resolved.  I made changes to my catalog of PES 12, one that could have been useful.

    • deleted the catalog items that does not generate stamps for unknown reasons.  Those with a "broken" thumbnail  There were few of them.
    • Deleted the catalog items that were orphans - were found no associated file on the hard drive.  There were about 10 of them.
    • Deleted about 10 sound files from the catalog.  Not sure how they got there in the first place.
    • Updated the Visual index.  (less probably helped)
    • Ran optimize catalog
    • Ran repair (for the second time) catalog, even if the dialog box indicated that it was not necessary.
  • Why Lightroom will not save the file when you use the image Capture?

    When you work with video in Lightroom 5, whenever I press "Image Capture", I get an error message that says: "cannot save the file." I tried this on several video files, and I get the same message. Video files are. MOV files. I can't understand why this is happening!

    I had this same error message. I solved it when I moved the video file on the hard disk internal to the computer, and then it worked perfectly. He always gave the error message when I used an external video file from my hard drive. There for a long time until I tried this. No one answered this problem in forums that I could find.

    I hope this helps.

    This could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

    BTW: Resettlement Lr does not replace the file prefs, since it seeks to 'survive' updates.

  • Could not save the WRT54G Router settings!

    Recently, I have reset the Linksys WRT54G Router because I can't get the page with a note to "CONTINUE", I used to have. I can also save the new setting. What comes out is a blank page. Pls help me. Thank you.

    This problem is usually caused by suboptimal communication between the computer and the router. The most common cause for this is a computer software firewall problem, but there are also several other possible causes:

    To view web pages of the router (and to solve problems "Cannot save settings"):

    You don't need an Internet connection. 'web Pages' of the router are integrated into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is connected to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily disable your firewall software.

    Point your browser to 192.168.1.1, and then connect to your router. Your username must be left blank. Your password is "admin" (without the quotes), unless you changed it.

    If you use Zone Alarm, do a right-click on the ZA icon in the taskbar (bottom right of screen) then click on "Shutdown ZoneAlarm" and see if that solves your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: open the control center ZAISS, go to privacy, then temporarily disable Ad Blocking and Cookie Control and see if it solves your problem.

    Some Zone Alarm users reported that the addition of 192.168.1.1 to their address list "of trust" solved the problem. This trick can also work with other firewalls.

    If you use Noton Internet Security with the add-on Pack, don't forget to disable the blocker and ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall all Norton Add-on Pack.

    If you can not get anything to 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not the address of the router. Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key. Look at the "default gateway". It is 192.168.1.1? Point your browser to the 'default gateway', can connect you to your router.

    If the above fails, unplug your modem router, then try again. If it solves your problem, then you probably a "modem-router" rather than a regular modem. A report with this problem and also specify the brand and exact model of your modem (not router) number.

    If all above fails them, turn off your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait a minute, then lights up, then try again.

    If all the above tips fail, then reset the default router: power down the router and unplug all the wires. Wait a minute. Switch on the router, let it fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release the button and allow the router to reset and restart (2-3 minutes). Turn off the router. Wait a minute. To connect to a computer, cable, a router's LAN port. Initialize the system. It should work.

    If you still have problems, then you must download and install (or reinstall) the latest firmware for your router. After the update of the firmware, you must reset the default router, and then configure the router again from scratch. If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

  • Could not save the picture. Cannot print the illustration.

    Adobe. Why can't you fix this? I was not able to save a file EPS of Illustrator because I upgraded to 2014 CC last year. Customers ask EPS files and I have no real explanation as to why I can't provide one. I was surprised to see that it is a problem for years for some people, going back several versions. Something has cause this... An answer, that I was the last time that I have asked about it recommended that I just use. HAVE files instead. If this is what Adobe is trying to (gradually EPS) then great. Tell us if I tell customers the same thing. Tell customers that I can't save an EPS file because I can not understand how does not fly!

    While you're there, Photoshop refuses to open the EPS files from the same update of CC2014. It is said he can't "parse" the file. Same question?

    Extremely frustrated.

    Save on your hard drive is good.

    Describing the text is thus (at least for logos).

    Options:

    EPS is a file of 2 parts: a fully editable part of AI and an EPS not quite as fully editable. The part of the EPS will always be version 3, because it's the latest version. Only the part of AI will be version CC, CS6 or whatever.

    When you want this really compatible with anything that EPS you throw, you want to save a version 3 EPS (not CS3). The file will be smaller and there will be no party GOT in there. Alone, this could reduce your problems. If you choose to save EPS in this way, always save an AI for your internal use, making changes or else.

    Another thing: as the EPS is closely related to printing, you can still have a printer connected and powered when you save an EPS.

  • Could not save the different string value to each element of the array

    I have a configuration of VI to read several channels Veristand project.  The entrance is a table 1 d of channels, (an element for each channel, I want to read).  The channels have different names, each of the elements in the chain must be different.  I am able to edit each item and run the VI, and it works fine.  However, if I save, close and reopen the VI, all elements show the same value (what happens to the value of the last element for which I defined a default value).  Is this behavior planned, or have I missed a configuration setting which would allow different string values?  Please notify.  Thank you.

  • "Lightroom could not prepare the edition of file@...for selected.  It will not open

    I am trying to edit the images that are on my last (filed a year ago) external hard drive using the external editor for elements/Nik Software processer.  I can do any editing in Lightroom without a problem and I can export these pictures in other locations such as a folder on the desktop or beat Cup... Treatment to enter items or Nik software is the only thing I can't do.  I don't have this problem when I deal with the pictures that are on my new external hard drive.

    Since I've done a wide change of this type with the images on the hard disk before it is not supposed that the permission is the issue.

    And yet people report permissions changes when an update of the operating system is installed and at other times too.

    I wonder if it has something to do with image editing on a number of external hard drives?

    It is a nonsense. Lightroom has no trouble to perform all actions on ares photos stored on external hard drives.

    I do not like to plead ignorance but don't know how to do this.

    Go to your favorite search engine and type in one of the following

    Change the permissions of Mac

    Change the Windows permissions

    Also, check that always there is free space on the hard disk that contains your photo
