Can't start Lightroom CC

I have CC photographers plan and had installed Photoshop CC (2014) and Lightroom 5. Today I received updates for both Ps and Lr. Ps updated with no problem, but Lr has installed as a new app Lightroom CC and now there's no way to start it. In CC app I see two Lr applications (Screenshot by Lightshot). Lr5 starts with no problem, but Lr CC doesn't run. Tried to run .exe directly, but nothing happens. Restarted PC, but the same result. Running on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit.
Any help is welcome

  • Can't start Lightroom cc(2015) after installation

    Downloaded new version but it won't start.

    I did this, and lightroom finally started....then seemed to get into a battle with Windows (error message saying "Server is Busy" and would go no further.    I finally gave up, uninstalled LR CC, and LR 5, then tried to reinstall LR CC and now it starts the install, but won't go past 43% on the install (consistently does this) and hangs/locks up.

  • Lightroom 4.x can't start because .DLL is missing from computer

    Hi everyone
    I recently had to repair my Windows Home 7 Premium. Since the repair, a number of programs would not start...this System Error dialog appears:
    The program can't start because .DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
    The programs were Lightroom 4.1, Acronis True Imeage 2012, AVG Antivirus and Vegas Movie Studio 10. Photoshop Elements 9 was unaffected.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled all affected programs. TrueImage, Antivirus and Vegas started working again with no issues. Lightroom 4 kept showing the same error (even though the reinstall is always successful). I tried installing 4.0, 4.1 and 4.3, all of them have the same problem.
    Any suggestions please?
    Cheers

    MSVCR80.DLL is for MS Visual C++ 2005 Runtime, so you might try and install various C++ Redistributable packages to see if the right DLLs show up eventually.  There is no MSVCR80.DLL in my LR executable folder, either.
    Specifically, create a system-restore-point, remove the DLLs out of the LR4 folder you put by a previous suggestion, then install the x86 and x64 versions of various C++ redistributable package series starting with 2005, oldest to newest within a series, and then run Windows Update in Control Panel and install any updates it offers.  Use Dependency Walker periodically to check if things have cleared up.

  • How can I get Lightroom to download all photos on my turnkey computer afterwich upload w/o long wait

    I have a turnkey desktop computer dedicated for photography and video use only.  Below is a listing of tech points about the computer.  I operate with Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection.  Also installed is Lightroom 4.  I played around with the latter and immediately could appreciate how the software will expedite a lot of the work on photographs.  But, and this is a big one, after following through on the advice from several on-line "experts" by having Lightroom incorporate all the images on the computer into the Library, afterwards I could no longer bring up in Lightroom a photo to work on without having to wait ~3 to 5 minutes for each photo. 
    At some point I counted the number of images on my computer, can't remember how that was done but anyway, about 40,000 keeps coming up in my head.  I'm not absolutley sure but it's safe say there are a lot of photos on the computer.  My plan is to search through these photos and categorize them under subjects/ideas using Lightroom while still keeping my current filing system by year, month, day and subject.  Additionally, in the past few years I have been shooting a lot of RAW images and I believe using Lightroom would help me be more time efficient with any editing needed.
    I don't have a lot time/patience to play around with "possible" solutions, but am willing to try someting that has been known to work in cases like mine.  At the same time, if my computer set up and/or the number of photos I have installed is prohibitive for Lightroom to operate efficiently, I would be disappointed to hear such but just the same would be very appreciative to know in advance of further futile attempts.
    Thank you for your time and consideration,

    Rob,
    If I understand you correctly, a “bad” photo file will create problems for Lightroom that could include long delays when bringing up any image in the catalogue.  So I should do the following:
    1.       Start over with a new catalogue.  I think I am in that position by default more or less because I could no longer work with any images in Lightroom until after I deleted the catalogue which incorporated all of the images on my computer.  It just would not work.  Now Lightroom works again but with one folder (a photo shoot) at a time.
    2.       I have images on two 1 TB hard drives.  Not sure I could get all onto one hard drive. (suggestions)
    I was under the impression that Lightoom would search the entire computer and only pull photo images into a catalogue.  Is it possible that Lightoom would include video files?  I could put all photo images on one hard drive into one folder.  That would separate the images from video files.  But in the Lightroom cataloguing process, must I direct the process by indicating which folders are to be included in the catalogue?
    3.       All my current folders are by year, month, day, and event.  However, the numbering system for my Nikon cameras goes to 9,999 and then starts over at 0001.  Also, I use two cameras.  And, as newer/better cameras became available, I switch cameras.  So the number 0001, for example, has probably been used a number of times since I first started using digital.  All images are unique within a particular unique folder, but it would be a monster job locating all images with the same number.  All folders are unique, but I’m pretty sure there are duplicate numbers among images files.  And in some cases, there are duplicate images (with the same image) in different folders.
    4.       Does the presence of duplicate images or image numbers in separate folders mean I can’t expect Lightroom to function efficiently?
    5.       Is there a step by step process I could use that would allow me to bring in a year’s worth of unique folders containing images at a time, so I could test Lightroom to see if it has been adversely impacted?
    6.       I’m not familiar with third party renamers? 
    7.       I would be lost if I had to let go of (rename) my year, month, day, event organization.  I was hoping to use Lightroom to gather from these individual dated folders images I found that fit some theme such as weather, Northwest sports, nature shots, etc., without eliminating my current filing system.
    Sorry for responding with so many questions.
    Thanks for the time and consideration.

  • Can I open Lightroom without upgrading my catalog?

    Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do a screen capture, so I'll try to type what I'm seeing.
    When I click on the LIghtroom icon, I get a message box that says "Please upgrade the catalog file "Lightroom Catalog 3" for use with Lightroom 3.  It continues "Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below.  The previews will also be moved to the location and converted for use in Lightroom 3"  Upgrade destination C:/Documents and Settings/...../Lightroom 3 Catalog-7.lrcat
    There is a button to choose a different catalog, upgrade or exit.
    When I open the button to change catalogs, it gives me one option, but when I click on it, I go back to the "Lightroom will create a new catalog"
    My concern with upgrading is that I've a workflow for the catalog that's at C:/Documents and Settings/..../Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.lrcat  Earlier today, I clicked on the dialog that resulted in a catalog at Lightroom Catalog-6.lrcat, but when I opened it, I'd lost all the listings for the Free Agent drive (usually G:/ where I do my daily uploads.  I could still see the external hard drive (E:) where I save edited work, but it indicated that I would have to locate all of the folders I'd created on the E: drive.  I saw only the default collections on the left hand side -- (smart collections, last month, etc.).
    I finally was able to get back to Lightroom 3 Catalog-5, which had all the work, but I'm not sure how to recover all my collections and folders if I Lightroom creates a new catalog at a destination that has a different number.  The problem is that now I can't seem to open Lightroom 3 at all -- when I click on Change, I don't see my catalog 5  in the default folder.  I know I found it once before, and it became an option on the pulldown menu.  But I don't want to have to keep finding it on the drive where I store it so I can keep my indexing and folder and catalog organization. 
    Lightroom 3 Catalog 5.lrcat works fine for me.  My default for backing up is whenever I close the program, so I'm confident in it's integrity.  How can I open Lightroom with the catalog that works for me --without getting messages that seem to force me to do an upgrade I don't want to do.
    Thanks for your help!

    I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a year.    Right now I'm going
    back to the folder with my backups and opening Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.  I
    think I've tried to reconstruct my left side panel with earlier
    Lightroom 3 Catalog x versions.  I don't have all the collections and
    folders I had with my Lightroom 2 catalog.    That catalog seemed to
    have been corrupt when I moved to Lightroom 3.  I don't recall how I did
    it, but I guess I imported the photos and tried to start over with my
    collections.

  • How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

    How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
    I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
    To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
    Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
    Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
    The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
    You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
    Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

  • How can i install Lightroom on a second computer?

    I've been using Lightroom on my PC for years (NOT the CC version).  I want to install it on my laptop so i can use it while travelling.  I believe that the license allows for that. But how do i install it? When i try to do it from the website it takes me to a trial for CC.

    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7
    This is the trial version. But on the initial screen that displays when you start Lightroom after it is installed there is provision to indicate that you have a serial number. Choose that option and enter your serial number that you already have.

  • Error Message when starting Lightroom

    When I start Lightroom 3.0 I occasionally get the following error message.
    My RAW files are read from an external HD that has an automatic spin down "feature" that I can't de-activate. I suspect that may be the source of the problem. Can anyone confirm this or does anyone have the same issue and maybe a sollution?

    If spin-down is the problem (which I doubt), you can check this by spinning the drive up before launching Lightroom. Just open the drive in Explorer.
    Try starting a fresh catalog, then delete the prefs and presets/templates.
