  • I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air.  When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  Any ideas please?

    A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions.  You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user.  I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.

    Best guess is a permissions problem although you haven't mentioned what operating system you are using.

    Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button.  Also get error message on launch:  An error occurred when attempting to change modules.  I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files:  System Library/Application Support/Adobe.  Any ideas?  I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro.  This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens.  Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for attempting to help.  I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem.  Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem.  I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom.  The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery.  Only a few days left on my trial version!  I hope I have time to try it out!

  • Down loaded lightroom 5 and installed but won't open right. On opening Message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules"

    Have a Mac Book Air with Lightroom 4 Full Download aboard. Just got an iMac. Wanted to load Lightroom 4 on iMac. Took the Adobe download file off the Mac Air and tried to load it on the iMac. It was successfull but on opening  the message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules" appeared. I removed Lightroom 4 and went to Adobe orders and re-downloaded my original order to the iMac. Same effect. Bought full Lightroom 5 hoping to fix but the same message appeared. What's up! Any help?

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.

    Tried all 6steps to Error Message: An error has occurred when attempting to change modules-Please help thx

    Hi, I¹ve been through it again to ensure I¹ve not forgot things. Completely
    removed Lightroom and all files I can find, etc and reloaded. Some tedious
    result. Step 6 is too time consuming at the moment for me, too many things
    on the go since I¹m about to go on holiday and on return I shall need
    Lightroom on this iMac. Any clues? This iMac had Mavericks from new,
    uploaded to Yosemite and then loaded Photoshop CC, Lightroom etc and get
    this damned problem.
    Reading around the web I¹m not the only one with this issue, to suggest a
    new user a/c is a soft option without resolving the issue.
    I hope an expert from Adobe can resolve this,
    Regards, George (retired IT Manager and IT Systems Project Manager)

    I have tried to look for download as it says but no down load, so i went to step 2 but i don't understand & can't find the files they are asking me to change. I am not super good with macs or any computer so I'm finding it hard to follow there instructions e.g. Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom 5.x I'm not sure if I'm looking for the rite areas of the iMac & i can't find what they are asking.

  • Lightroom 4: An error occurred when attempting to change modules.

    I downloaded Lightroom 4 a few days ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. Everything worked great. I thought it would overwrite Lightroom 3, but it didn't. So Lightroom 3 is still installed, but I haven't opened it since I installed Lightroom 4.
    I downloaded Lightroom 4.3 this morning and installed it on the same MacBook Pro.  Using my MacBook Pro and a second monitor, I opened Lightroom 4.3 and worked on some photos. Everything worked great.
    Then I began watching a slideshow in the Lightroom 4.3 slideshow module on the second monitor with my MacBook Pro in the library module. During the slideshow I clicked on the slideshow module on my MacBook Pro and got this error message:
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules.
    Now I can’t get into the slideshow module. I just get the error message.
    I moved the preferences file to the trash and reopened Lightroom 4 but lost color labels, so I put it back in the preferences folder.
    Thanks for your help

    I called Adobe and let them fiddle online with Lightroom on my MacBook Pro. The Adobe tech claims I have a corrupt permissions file. He told me to contact Apple and have them rebuild my permissions file.
    When I contacted Apple, the tech said to startup my MackBook Pro with the option key held down until the first screen appears. Then click on: Recovery HD, arrow, Language, Disk Utility, Macintosh HD, Repair Disk Permissions.
    I did this three times, but some permissions were not repaired. Another Apple tech then suggested I bring my MackBook Pro to a Macintosh authorized repair shop, and have them repair my permissions file. I asked if I can buy Norton Utilities or a similar program and do it myself. The Apple tech said yes, but an authorized repair person will know which permissions to repair and which ones not to touch.
    Unless someone on this forum can tell me how to do this repair myself, I’ll get it repaired next week. And, I’ll post the results as soon as I can.
