• Lightroom 4.2 Mac preference file missing.

  I use Lightroom 4.2 on a Mac (OS 10.7.4, 14gig of ram). Start about a month or two ago, I noticed that my preferences do not seem to be saving. Recently, I dug into the preferences folder using the menu item GO to the finder (/users/ "me" / Library/Preferences) and to my surprise it was not a Lightroom preference to all file.

  Looks like a re - install is in order, but I don't remember seeing a uninstall program on the original disc. Reflections on how to uninstall it please?

  Dan,

  I guess you probably have trouble with your permissions. Lightroom seems unable to write new values in the prefs file (or write the file preferences at all).

  Ja.

• Cannot uninstall the program... Corrupted file UIs

  I'm trying to uninstall a program and the following error. "The log file c:/path...\uninst.isu is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue. Please share a solution for this problem

  Thanks for the reply. However, this solution is not available as long as the first step in the resettlement process is to check the available space on the disk, in this case 140M. I am trying to recover the disk space for other uses, where my desire to delete this big and don't use the program.

  140 MB is nowadays a small amount of disk space. IIL a re a lot of things you can do to get a rear disk space, but they will get relatively little and you will almost certainly find soon in the same situation. The only real solution is to buy a second or bigger hard drive.

  But if you want to try what I suggested, delete all of your temporary files and empty the trash. This should give you enough disk space to try it.

• Do I need to uninstall the standalone Lightroom or Photoshop I have before getting the creative cloud?

  I use a PC, and I installed Lightroom 3. I also have a very old version of Photoshop (7) installed. What I have to do before you download and install the creative cloud for photographers? Thank you.

  You can disable and uninstall if you need the space on your hard drive... otherwise, versions are completely separate and do not need to be removed

• Lightroom for Mac v5. Olympus Stylus 1. ORF for new files appearing does not in Lightroom & old. Files of the ORF in gray.

  Lightroom for Mac v5.  I recently transferred my photos from a disc to another larger disk.  Since then, using the same catalog, I found the new location and all files seem to be OK, with the exception of my Olympus Stylus 1. ORF files.

  Have several new records of Nikon NEF files as well as files of the ORF.  Files Nikon encountered no problem, but not the Olympus.  I have updates.  I tried to sync several times, but no luck.

  I know that my Olympus is supported because he has worked since 2014.  The older files always contain the FRO files, but non of them are visible in Lightroom, they are just greyed out.  Any suggestions?

  Files already imported into LR will be greyed out if you try to import them, once again.  To confirm that this is the issue, temporarily uncheck don't Import suspected duplicates to the right of the Import Panel and see if the pictures become active.  If so, then they are duplicates of photos already in the catalog also.  Since you moved just your photos to a new location perhaps some left me another place that is not obvious.  You should be able to do a text search in the filter bar (use------mentioned) in the library for the file name of the missing photos to find where LR always think that they are in your catalog.

  DO NOT IMPORT THEM AGAIN with don't Import suspected duplicates off.  The way to fix things is to reactivate the import is not suspected duplicates, cancel import, find photos in your catalog by using a search text, right-click on it and choose locate missing photos and click on to the new location.

  Someone at - it advice on how to open Photoshop CS5 for Mac.  Is no longer able to open the program.  Just get the emblem of blue PS and the message "unable to load actions because an end of life unexpected has been met.  Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). "I tried to reinstall the program from the original disc.  Is this a problem with the operating system?  Thanks for any idea.

  Your use of the word "files" (in the plural) still makes me believe that you have not checked the permissions on the folder that is appropriate (in the singular).

  You must determine the Destination of the Lightroom Import dialog window Panel and see which folder Lightroom is really tr6ing to copy photos in (which may have been accidentally changed and is not what you may have used in the past) and change the permissions to write to this folder.

• "the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings" cs4 Mac

  Greetings!

  whenever I run illustrator that I encounter a new error.

  "the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."

  "the corrupted file is saved as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err".

  This problem that manifests itself after I added a few other .ai and .ase files in my directory of nuances. I think not changed nothing else.

  don't know how to diagnose the problem. is there a mode debug or something? Maybe a file in question.

  one option would be to try to remove each added file swatch or folder individually, but it would be a very tedious process for me.

  I use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.

  Thank you

  s,

  Whenever you close Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are recorded, and every time that you start Illy, these preferences will be used.

  Usually, corruption of preference probably appears randomly, caused by the operating system, but if something in your files to change preferences to something that is not viable, you will get an error like this.

  You can press Cmd + Option + shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the default values, and no doubt you you get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, however.

  If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of things that are implicated in the files you are editing.

• Yosemite OS, cs6 ext, that's what I get when trying to open, could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it was deleted). Please help me

  Yesterday it was working fine, this morning, I tried to open cs6, and I get the above message. Tried to put the file in my laptop (copied to a USB key) and when I close all the windows files is not displayed again, and ps6 shows me this message above. I use a 27 "iMac computer. I've installed a plugin (WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip) to correct my problem of cursor. PLEASE HELP ME...

  The first thing I would try would be to manually reset preferences. If this fails, try to uninstall the plugin and see if the problem goes away.

  In case you don't know how to reset:

  Reset preferences

  (1) close the program, and then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Win) / command + Option + shift (Mac) (not reversible) starting

  or

  (2) move the folder. See:

  Yes, you can remove the file from the imported image, if you have imported the image as managed.  IE preferences in ave Photos settled on "import: copy items to the photo library" being the default.

• Can not uninstall the CC with Lightroom or Photoshop CC using FREE creative cloud

  I tried Lightroom CC and CC in Photoshop using 30 day trials.  Just before the end of these tests, I bought Lightroom CS6 and Photoshop CS 6 stand-alone applications.  Whenever I tried to sign in creative cloud, I received a message that my trial was expired. So, I reinstalled the FREE creative cloud and he ran in order to uninstall CC with Lightroom and Photoshop CC but not appear in the list of installed applications, they are shown with only the option "try."  In the meantime my Lightroom CS6 now does not open.  I don't know, but in a rush, I had installed Adobe Application Manager 10, thinking that would help, but it might be what is in confliict with Lightroom CS6.  Photshop CS6 always opens but strangley "recent files" option on the "open file" menu dropdown is now "clear".  I cannot uninstall Adobe Application Manager 10, Photshop CC or CC with Lightroom feature Microsoft 10 UNINSTALL APPS.  Can someone telll me what I need to do?
