Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.
There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

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 computerGo 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.

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 someone please let me know how I can fix this error and open my Lightroom? Thanks.
You might be quicker help posting in the LR forum rather than the ACR forum, but I believe the way to fix this is to delete the preview cache.
Find your catalog folder.
Close LR.
Within the catalog folder, delete the FOLDER called Catalog-Name Previews.lrdata
Start LR. -

Go into your operating system and find a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Delete this folder. Don't delete anything else, just the folder named as I said.

Lightroom encountered an error when reading a catalog file and needs to quit.
Since I installed Snow Leopard, I keep getting this error. LR restarts and the catalog is fine, but I leave it running and come back an hour or so later and there is the same error.
I verified the file system on my USB drive and it is fine. It is a brand new catalog that I created from exporting an old one. I've never had this issue before.
Sorry if this is a double post, I can't seem to find the original post I thought I made.
/ChrisDeleting the preference file didn't resolve the issue.
I am using USB, but the enclosure I'm using is eSATA and USB. I use to use the eSATA connector, but my eSATA control is not supported by Snow Leopard. I'll try to find a Fireware enclosure to use this weekend.
I spoke with Apple support who told me I need a firmware upgrade for the hard disk. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Thanks,

I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1. When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "
"Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
Every time I relaunch I get the same message. I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom. -
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it lauches". What do I do? I get the msg each time I try to open it.
It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.

I get the following window on loading Lightroom 5.7 -
Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.
Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches.
I have tried several restarts, without success. Also reinstalled Lightroom; no joy
Any suggestions?Using your system browser (Windows Explorer or Finder), open the folder that contains your catalog. In Windows it is in your pictures folder and then in a Lightroom folder. Inside of the Lightroom folder you will find another folder that has the extension .lrdata. It will have the same name as your catalog except for the extension. You need to delete that folder, and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder, and you should be back in business.
