P: Tethering

I just did that and it didn't do anything for me

I seem to have things under control. D700 tethered to LR3.5 RC and MBP Lion.After removing all the lightroom files in the library - As per Benjemin's advice:Go into user/Library/Preferences and move any files with "Lightroom" in the name.
Did a 2 hour shoot and all was ok. Hope it stays that way.

it seems like this statement from Adobe's website should have about a hundred (*) next to it. such as: **as long as you are using an mac OS that is no longer sold by Apple and you do not install your OS updates.

Are the features the same in the Windows and Mac OS versions?
Yes. Lightroom 3 contains the same features and delivers the same professional, best-of-class results, no matter which platform you choose to use.

Why were my comments removed? I'm saying Adobe is not fully appreciating the problem and I recommended people switch to Sofortbild. While Adobe decides that professional photographers are looking for a glitch free platform to shoot with. LR3 is NOT IT. Witness all these complaints and where is the acknowledgement that LR3 is seriously flawed and needs to be immediately fixed. Heck, send someone to Boulder and I'll show you the problem. If Adobe is smart they take this SERIOUSLY and issue WHITE PAPER and RECALL. And throw some serious intellect at solving this bugginess. I'm waiting...

Scott, can you please provide exact details of your set up - computer, camera, Lightroom and any extras. This could be helpful in attempting to isolate common factors. Thanks.

Ben,

There seems to be an increasing amount of discord at http://forums.adobe.com/message/39320... about the LR3 tether issue. Clearly the people experiencing the problems here on this specific thread are not alone; hopefully more people will share their specific issues here in an effort to work towards a solution for the the problem(s).

Although I understand that you cannot recreate the problem(s) in your office, I still find it surprising (especially given the ubiquity of the issues here). Steve makes a good suggestion below: would you consider setting-up a remote session with some of the people who are experiencing these problems as a way to see and better understand the issues that users are facing? Candidly, if you cannot recreate the issues at your office, how do you intend to find a solution to what others are clearly experiencing en masse?

Scott

is there any chance that this could be caused by a third party plug in? Such as gmail, or theturninggate, or timothy white plugins? Or any develop settings imported into lightroom?

Can't you set up a remote session with some of us that are having the problem? Or is this problem being worked on from Adobe's San Jose location? I'm sure someone looking around these boards is in the San Jose area and could reproduce the problem for you. I can't even get lightroom to acknowledge the camera anymore. It sees that it's a 5D but doesn't register any of the settings. I used to be able to get it going and then it would disconnect, but since 3.5 I can't even get a single image through tether.

Hi Bobby,

No denial here. If there were, I wouldn't bother reading the thread. 😉 Problems aren't usually too hard to fix, as long as we can produce the problem. Unfortunately, tether with Nikon on Apple using Lightroom 3.5 works great for us (and for at least a couple other people in this thread) which makes it much harder to figure out and address. Yelling about "get this fixed" doesn't help us reproduce the problem. Specific feedback and theories such as Scott and David have provide are much more constructive (though sadly not, as yet, effective). I appreciate the seriousness of professionals not being able to use our tool to do their job. Please do let me know if you have any specific information to add, beyond what has already been discussed in the thread.

Thanks,
Ben

Wow this is frustrating. To literally BUY into LR3 and now there is systemic problem with shooting with Nikon and LR3 and Apple. Btw/ turning off the camera and turning off the computer and all this BS doesn't help make for a smooth SHOOT. Which is why we are here. I urge ADOBE to stand up and get this issue resolved or there is going to be a mass exit by professional users from this very flawed product. LR3 was all about shooting tethered and I'm upset that ADOBE has there head in the sand in DENIAL about what is going on. So what are you waiting for ADOBE? GET THIS FIXED!
