Lightroom Won't Exit

I updated to Lightroom 4.4 and since then I have noticed that LR won't exit. When I click the X to close the program it disappears from the screen... but when I hit ctr-alt-dlt it's still running in the processes menu. This becomes problematic because I have issues with 4.4 so I reloaded 4.3... and I am beta testing 5... but when I X out of one I cannot load the other while the process is still running. I have to manually end the process before starting another session of LR. This is true even if I want to run another session of the same version. In other words, if I am working in LR 4.3... close the program to work in Word... then want to go back and work in LR4.3 again... nothing happens when I click the desktop icon because it's still running in the processs menu.

I would suggest this:
I don't think it's your presets. Rather the fact that you have Lr 4.3 and Lr 4.4 installed. They use the same files, so closing one will leave some of the processes running.
But to cover all bases:
Note down the folder where all your presets are stored. Then copy the folder with all presets to a different location.
Open Preferences and note all settings. Do the same with Catalog Settings.
Then un-install Lr 4.3 and Lr 4.4.
Then manually delete the presets folder and also the Preference File. See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
Re-install Lr 4.4 only. Open Lr. If it comes up empty and wants to import, cancel Import and go >File >Open catalog .... Navigate to your catalog (the catalog-file with the extension < .lrcat>) and select it. Redo your Preferences and catalog settings. Check if Lr closes properly before you move your presets back to the previous location. When you are sure that Lr closes properly, move your presets back.

Lightroom won't open on my mac

I am attempting to activate Lightroom on a mac. I've used it on this computer in the past and it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the file and installed the product again. The installation went through, but Lightroom won't open. I tried deactivating the product before deleting, but there was no option. What am I missing?

What happens when you try to open Lightroom?
What is the error message?
What version of Lightroom?
What operating system?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application..

Depending on your operating system, use Windows Explorer or Finder to open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find a file with the same name as your catalog, but with the .lock extension. That file needs to be deleted, and then you will be able to start Lightroom.

Program won't exit when reading in gif?!?

Hi,
I have written a class (see code below) that has a single method to read in two gifs, superimpose them, add text and then write the result to a jpeg file.
I test this in a simple main method (again see below). javac test.java, java test
The problem is that the program will not terminate. The final System.out.println() command is displayed in the terminal. It has to be halted with ctrl+c.
I have traced the problem to the image being read in! If I comment out the images being read in - in the MapMaker constructor (also commenting out where the images are used) - the program terminates correctly.
There are no exceptions flying around either!
Any ideas? I guess some system resource isn't being cleared, but don't know how to do this!
I can't use System.exit() because this class will be used in a .jsp page that will use the jpeg created!
Thanks in advance
Matt

If anyones interested. It turns out that this is a feature!

Lightroom won't display Bridge keywords

Lightroom won't display keywords that were entered in Bridge. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks.
John

If you are first importing the pics into a LR catalog and then using Bridge to change the keywords, you'll have to use LR's Metadata > Read Metadata From Files to re-read the pics' metadata back into LR. If this doesn't address the issue, then you'll need to provide a lot more detail about your workflow -- which commands you're using in each program, in which order, to import catalogs, change keywords, and view them in LR.

App won't exit.

Hi, I've been having a trouble with my iPhone 4. It gets stuck in an app and it won't exit it. The home button only works for accessibility options. The power button won't work. The screen just won't get off (it won't block), it just won't go off! I already restored it once, I don't wanna do that again...

Lightroom won't export my exact dimensions

Lightroom won't export my exact dimension for my photos. How can I change this.

Are you running the latest version?
In Lr5.4 most but not all of such bugs are fixed.
If already running Lr5.4 then go to feedback forum and cast vote to the problem fixed.
Lightroom 5: export isn't resizing exactly to specified long edge.

Loaded 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open

loaded Lightroom 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open?

I just upgraded to 5.7.1 and get the same on OS X 10.10.1. The messages is
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 cannot be opened because of a problem.
I tried deleting Lightroom and reinstalling, just the same.
I tried deleting the preference file in $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist
again crashes just the same, and Lightroom crashes before recreating the file.
Tried a reboot. No joy.

Lightroom won't read SONY RAW files

I've upgraded to 1.2, installed it once and then again to see if I could repair the problem. I am shooting a SONY A700 and Lightroom won't recognize my RAW files on the card or when I copy them to my hard drive. LR does see jpegs on the card when I shoot them, and yes I have checked the box that says to treat RAW and jpegs as separate files.
If I put only jpegs on the card it reads them, if I only put RAW files on it says no images on card.
Any suggestions?

To be honest I have not tried looking at my older MRW files as I have not used my 7D in awhile. I will look tonight to see if I can read them in LR, but I'm not qualified to speak on whether the information LR is reading is correct or detailed enough. I'll just see if I can edit them to my satisfaction. I don't get into the mechanics other than to do what I need to improve my photos.
My original problem was getting the Adobe downloader to bring in ARW files, but now I just pull them off the disk and have disabled the downloader, which works fine for ARW.
Just read the previous question and see it was answered on MRW files. I have been editing ARW raw in lightroom and it seems to work with all functionality. I think the program is indispensible to my A700 and they work wonderfully together.

Address Book Won't Exit If...

I opened up Address Book and found two cards for my account. In the process of consolidating them, I opened up one in a separate window to edit the picture. Then
back in the main window, I deleted that card. The window for that card remained open. Then I tried to exit Address Book and it simply won't exit and the window no longer responds to any input. Bug?

That sounds like a bug, although I can't make it happen. If you can do that again, open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and see if Address Book reported any error messages.

Won't exit apps

I've had the MacBook Pro for about 2 weeks now and the first irritant I need to fix is why it won't exit the application when I click the red x in the upper left hand corner. It's about a 50/50 chance that it will or it won't exit. I'll click, nothing. I'll click again, nothing. I have to play around with it before the application will close. If I can get this resolved, we'll discuss why the web pages periodically turn yellow.... Thanks.

Hi! You've discovered one of the differences between Windows and Mac OS. In Mac OS, closing a window is different from closing a program. The little red X simply closes a the window, it does not quit the program. To quit a program, simply type apple Q, go with your mouse to the top bar, select the program name (for example, Sarfari), and then select "Quit (program name)" which is at the bottom. You can also simply left click the program icon in the dock and choose "Quit program."
I see this difference between windows and Mac OS as an advantage; if you close the last window of an application, you can just open a new window without worrying about re-starting the program. This is especially useful with large programs that take time to start.
