I am getting an error when reading the preview cache and the program shuts down.

I had to reload Lightroom on a new computer and after I did that it gives me an error when reading from its preview cache and then it shuts the program down.  How can I fix this problem?

Delete the preview cache ... it is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA in the same folder as your catalog file.

  • When opening my lightroom 5- It pops up Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview Cache and needs to quit.... Can someone walk me through the steps!?

    Opening my lightroom 5.. I get a message that Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview Cacge and needs to quit.
    Can someone walk me through the steps. Im dealing with MAC computer

    Go to the folder containing your catalog and delete the folder with the extension .lrdata. Then start Lightroom, and it will begin creating a new cache file.
    If you need to know where the files are: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5

  • Out of the blue lighroom is saying 'error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit' every time i open it

    help!

    Delete all your previews, and the previews.db and rootpixels.db files, and preferably clear the acr cache.
    Then select All Photographs, and go to library/previews and choose build all new standard previews. If you have a lot of images, do this overnight.

  • Can not launch lightroom says error when reading its preview cache

    I can not launch Lightroom is puts up a error message that says it encountered an error when reading its preview cache and goes in to a loop that keeps closing the program
    I have restarted my comp 4 times same this each time
    I can't find any trouble shooting and when I try and download lightroom again it just puts me back at the creative cloud desktop which I can't click in anything

    You need to delete the preview cache. LR will automatically create new previews.
    Read here and here are the locations. Don't touch the *.lrcat file.

  • My app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?

    my app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?

    I am having the exact same problem.  MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple.  After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
    My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged."  There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon.  Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion).  Did not work.  I also updated the software from "Software Update".  Rebooted.
    I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was.  I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
    Anyway, anymore ideas?  Even Apple is stumped.
    (In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

    Just did some more reading.  I was going by the icon in the dock.  When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!!  Thanks, anyway.

  • Keep getting this error when ever I try to use the CC_2014

    keep getting this error when ever I try to use the CC_2014 InDesign
    Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign.
    Also have Ai quit out on me in the CC_2014.
    This is very frustration since I use these the most

    For MAC try to give permissions to Adobe Indesign Folder:
    Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign
    Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign
    Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
    For Windows try to give permissions to Adobe Indesign Folder:
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign
    Also you can try logging in under a local administrator account as suggested by jeff.

  • HT201210 I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?

    Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

  • I just got the iphone 6 and it has shut down on me 6 times this morning on its' own. I get a red screen, then the phone shuts down. HELP

    I just got the iphone 6 and it has shut down on me 6 times this morning on its' own. I get a red screen, then the phone shuts down. HELP. It started to happen out of nowhere. The screen goes red, and it shuts down. I manually restart it - and it shuts down again.

    - we've tried to go for recovery with iTunes. didn't work

    - found local Apple Service Provider. gonna go tmrw.

  • I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

    I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

    First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How can I reformat my hard drive if erase and partition don't work in disk utility and I get an error when I try to erase and install from the Leopard install disk?  I have had several kernel panics, but the volume shows up in startup disk.

    I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t  HELP!!!

    Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook.

  • Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

    iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop.  Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

    iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
    And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
    Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
    Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
    System boot drive
    Media and data folders and such
    scratch
    backup
    etc
    I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
    If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
    Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
    You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
    Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
    Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

    Thx dubwai
    How is file:// prefix on URL used ? Am not sure what
    U mean?The String version of the parse method is expecting a URL. What you are passing it is not a valid URL. You need to define the protocol. For example, a URL you use in your browser is http, you need to use file: because the document resides on a file system. You can use file in your browser.
    I think you'll fnd it easier to just use the parse(File) method.

Maybe you are looking for
