Where is my Lightroom?

In december I took advantage of Adobes offer: Photoshop and Lightrrom for appr 9$ a month. But Adobe only confirms the Photoshop. Are Adobe tricking me - and many others?

Well, I use and have used both programs for years, and by now I use LR5 on both my pc's. What I'm worried about is that i don't get the automatic updates for LR that I have paid for. Is there any way I can get confirmed from Adobe that I will receive these updates?

Almost afraid to ask... Where are my Lightroom files?

I've upgraded to LR3 from 2 and in the process Lightroom has chosen to create a new catalog, or at least I think that's the proper term. What was 'Name' catalog with all of my images is now 'Name-2' with all of my images. What happened to the simple straightforward 'Name' catalog and why can't I go back to it? I think the starting point would be to ask where these files reside that LR uses to create a catalog? I know where my images are and they are all in one location all in one folder with sub-folders by year and by date within the years. My image files are okay, and do not move. It's the way LR is working that has me wondering if I can go back and re-name the catalog it now wants to use for my images to the simple name and not with the appended '-2'.
TIA,
Ken

Ken, it has -2 because it's an upgraded catalog. The old catalog won't work in Lightroom 3, and Lightroom won't delete the original catalog in case something goes wrong during the upgrade. You wouldn't want to be left with no catalog at all, if something were to happen.
Your files don't exist inside Lightroom, they exist where you have then on the disk. Lightroom only references them.
As for renaming, you can rename away. Just make sure you also rename the corresponding Previews files.
e.g. if your catalog file is Name.lrcata, your previews file is Name Previews.lrdata. Renaming means having them as NewName.lrcat and NewName Previews.lrdata.
What happens if you don't do this? Lightroom will create a new Previews folder on its own, but it'll be empty and need all previews rendered, and the old previews file will be left orphaned, wasting space on your drive.

Where is my Lightroom catalog?

Help! I lost a 1TB external hard drive of my photos(my whole collection). When I went to upload my files from my backup drive, I noticed my catalog was empty(all my edits gone). Im not sure what happened, but I tried to look in the "backup" folder that lightroom backs up the catalog to, and that seems empty as well.....Im using Lightroom 5.6 on a mac book pro with the latest operation system. Admittedly im not very computer savvy, so this is frustrating. I have thousands of edits im missing. Even stranger is the 3TB external I use a "time machine" should contain backup files of my lightroom catalog(I think?) but it has a folder of about 100 random edits in it.....Im fearing the worst here......any help would be appreciated......The lightroom catalog was stored on my mac hard disk, not the 1TB hard drive I lost, so Im confused as to why I lost all edits.........

The LR catalog is a file ending in the extension ".lrcat". Perhaps it wasn't stored where you think it was. You could try using Spotlight to search for it, though my own experience is that Spotlight is not reliable for searching the entire drive. I suggest downloading the free EasyFind app from the Mac app store and searching your Macintosh hard drive for ".lrcat" (with the options Only Files, Phrase, Ignore Case, Package Contents, and Invisible Files & Folders).

WHERE IS THE LIGHTROOM SDK FOR MAC?

Hi,
I can't find where to download the SDK for Lightroom 3 for Mac??
Thanks,
Juan

Hi,
Its most likely showing you a blank page again because it is pulling the page from your browser's cache (or an ISP cache) instead of the web server. On Windows I'd try holding down the Control, Alt or Shift key (can never remember which) to bypass the cache when next refreshing that page. Not sure what the equivalent is on Mac (and presumably Safari). Alternatively try a different browser e.g. Chrome or Firefox to see if it has more luck with the download.
As Rob mentioned, the link posted earlier by Renambol seems to be working fine.

Where does Mac Lightroom 4.4 store all its preferences?

I have a problem importing video into Lightroom 4.4 on Mac OS X 10.9.4, and the problem goes away if I test with a brand new user account. I'm trying to recreate this virgin state in my main user account by deleting all the Lightroom preferences. But so far I haven't been able to ferret out all the places Lightroom stores preferences. Here's what I'm deleting so far (all relative to my home directory):
"Library/Application Support/Adobe" folder
"Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist" file (actually tried all com.adobe.* files)
"Pictures/Lightroom" directory (catalog, etc)
"Library/Caches/com.adobe.Lightroom4" directory
"Library/Caches/Adobe" directory
Lightroom menu => Preferences => File Handling => Video Cache Settings => "Purge Cache" button
Even after deleting all that, Lightroom menu => Preferences => General items still persist (e.g. the "Automatically check for updates" checkbox and the two completion sounds), my recent catalogs in File => Open Recent still persist, and my video import problem still persists. I believe I've covered all the files listed here, so there must be some other place where Lightroom is storing preferences. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Thanks John R. Ellis, but I used that reference and deleted all the preference files listed there (see original post). Some preferences persist even still. I believe there must be some files missing from that list? Or there's some other way that my preferences are sticking around?
I'll try to change the title to be more clear about that. Thanks in advance for any insight.
(--edit-- I can't change the title of the original post...)

Where to get Lightroom 4

I have Snow Leopard(OS 10.6), and Lightroom 5 doesn't support it. Where can I get it? I have tried many shops(in Norway) but no-one seems to sell it. Downloading it illegally seems to be the easiest way to get it. As Adobe is a smart company, this must be wrong, and it should be possible to buy Lightroom 4 without too much hassle. So where can I get it?
And no, I'm NOT going to upgrade from Snow Leopard, for many reasons.

Adobe does not sell licenses for previous versions of Lightroom so you will have to try another retailer like Amazon. The previous version files are available online.

Where is the Lightroom database?

I wonder whether it is correct that I have the following folders in my D:/drive:
D:/Adobe
- Lightroom 1.0
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
- documentation
D:/ My Pictures
- Lightroom
- Backups
- Lightroom CatalogPreviews.Irdata
- Lightroom Metadata.Irdata
(file) Lightroom Catalog (Ircat file)
I can not locate the original Lightroom Data base. There are data bases in the backups.

Lee,
Thanks for your reaction.
I was confused by the fact that on June 28 this file was called a LRDB and on July 6 a LRCAT, I assume because I updated to LR 1.1.
* However I still wonder where I can locate the "Lightroom Database.lrdb.lock", which is referred to in the TechNote?
I Have LR with 1.1 running on laptop with Windows XP.
Plan to also place L.R. 1.1 on a new desktop with Vista Home Premium.
* Can I install LR 1.1 by using the CD with LR program and thereafter update to 1.1?
In D:/My pictures/Lightroom I have the following sub folders:
Backups
Lightroom Catalog Previews.Irdata.
Lightroom Metadata.Irdata
Lightroom catalog
* Do I just copy: D:/My pictures/Lightroom with its 4 sub folders to D:/ on the new PC?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Where's the Lightroom 5 serial number?

I downloaded the Lightroom 5 trial and used it for a while before decided to get the full version so I signed up for the Lightroom/Photoshop bundle. Photoshop downloaded and works fine but the Lightroom is still in trial mode. Adobe Downloader shows that it is properly downloaded to the latest version. I can't find anything except an order number under my Adobe ID online. Am I overlooking something or should I just delete and reinstall?
Thanks,
John

Thanks so much. I figured that was going to be my only option. Glad to note I didn't lose any information in the reinstallation either.

Where is the Lightroom 5.7 update, with HDR capability, that Lightroom tells me about when I load it?

here is the Lightroom 5.7 update, with HDR capability, that Lightroom tells me about when I load it? When I click download it takes me to a page to get CC, NOT the Lightroom 5.7 update.

If you want to purchase Lightroom 6, which is the standalone version, go to this website:
Products
Scroll to near the bottom of the page and you will find Lightroom. The steps are:
1. Click on the Buy button.
2. Indicate what version you have. The price will change to $79.
3. Follow the other buttons and choices to complete your purchase.

Can other application communicate with the web?
