Help needed. Lightroom 6 doesn't launch after install

I'm a Photography plan subscriber and just upgraded my copy of LR from 5.7.1 to 6.0 through the Creative Cloud Application. Unfortunately, when I click on the Lightroom shortcut on the windows desktop or when I attempt to launch Lightroom 6.0 from the file menu directly, nothing happens, i.e. Lightroom does not launch and does not show up as a running application in the task manager). I've tried uninistalling and reinstalling Lightroom 6.0 and rebooting the computer but neither of these solves the problem. Lightroom 6 will not launch or run. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know what I can do to get Lightroom 6.0 to run?

ha, i found help in this thread: LR CC 2015 is crashing after install on Yosemite 10.10.3
i just needed to log out of my account in the creative cloud app, log back in and everything started working again!

Safari doesn't launch after installing Mavericks

A couple of days ago, I installed OSX Mavericks, slow at the beggining then everybody goes OK, until I tried to open Safari, no way, I restarted the iMac with no success, the upper bar shows as open, at the side of the apple logo, can open the safari menu there, tried restore safari, unsuccessful too. The display goes a little dimm when "launching" safari, the icon on the tool bar jumps 2 or 3 times and nothing else happens.

My solution: repair permissions didn't work either, so after downloading the last version of Google Chrome, I decided I will try my last attempt to launch Safari, I used the three fingers gesture to see the open browsers: Firefox, Chrome, and there it was Safari, I clicked on it, and opened right away, then I click the yellow button and it goes on the right of the tool bar, as usual. Tried a few times, with the same result, so Safari opened all the time, just didn't showed, don't know why, hope this helps to someone else.

Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update.

Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update. Mac OSX 10.8.5. Tried the suggestion to log out of Adobe Cloud and log back in. Also rebooted computer. No luck. Photoshop CC 2014 seems to have installed perfectly. Can't install previous version either, can't even find it via Adobe Cloud. Tried re-downloading from Adobe web site but it sits there saying "downloading now" -- but nothing is downloading!

I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

Hi,
1. Stop the DBConsole. (set ORACLE_SID first & ORACLE_HOME)
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
emctl stop dbconsole
2. Update the <ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emd.properties file.
Change line from:
tracelevel.main=WARN
To
tracelevel.main=DEBUG
Decomment this line, so that the line becomes :
EMAGENT_PERL_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
3. Update the <ORACLE__HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emomslogging.properties
Change line from:
log4j.rootCategory=WARN, emlogAppender, emtrcAppender
To
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, emlogAppender, emtrcAppender
4. Remove/backup all log files from ORACLE_HOME/<hostname_sid>/sysman/log
5. Start the dbconsole and upload the output of each command
- start the dbconsole: "emctl start dbconsole"
- issue "emctl clearstate"
- status the dbconsole: "emctl status dbconsole"
- check the status of the agent until it comes up: "emctl status agent"
- force an upload: emctl upload
6. Check If you are able to view the dbconsole Page & login
check below logs may be you can see the close error messages to solve the issue.
<ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/log directory
<ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>/sysman/config/emoms.properties
Otherwise re-create the DBconsole using the metalink doc 278100.1 : How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database. (Please check the steps from Recreate/ReConfig DB Control, if you want to re-create)
Thanks.

My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
where can I find this

If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

Lightroom 5.5 CC doesn't launch after Update

Hello,
I used Creative Cloud to download all the new 2014 updates of which LR 5 was an update. All the downloads and installs reported being successful. I opened PS CC 2014 and it launch and loaded just fine. However, LR 5 launches the flash screen for about 2 secs, but doesn't launch. I've try to go to Creative Cloud to download and reinstall, but it has LR 5 as installed and won't let me re-download and install. I also tried going to the new creative cloud adobe site and tried downloading it there, but is comes up with a message that the link requires a launch program ... have no idea what the program is. Totally baffled with this new Cloud set up! Your help is greatly appreciated.
Dennis

I have the same issue. I don't even get a 2-second flash. My question might be slightly different though. I have the Creative Cloud with Photoshop CC and I owned the 5.4 version of Lightroom. I was surprised to see the Lightroom update available in Creative Cloud. While the Photoshop kept my old CC it removed my old Lightroom and installed the new version. I believe there is a problem with the Lightroom.exe file. So I removed the program, rebooted and re-installed. Same thing.
Could this be because my Creative Cloud subscription has not been updated to include Lightroom?
And yes it is a critical flaw.

Lightroom 2 won't launch after install

After installing onto an XP 32-bit machine that already had Lightroom 2 Beta running, Lightroom 2 now refuses to launch. It is an upgrade version loaded from disc but has killed off all the other versions, too.
I have un-installed and re-installed repeatedly - rebooting every time - to no avail. Even a new install of Lightroom 1 won't launch - which makes me wonder if there is a rogue file from the Beta version that needs a serious talking to.
The computer shows the application as correctly installed but it simply won't launch.
What to do?

Thanks Lee
Version 2 and Beta preference files no longer exist after uninstalling and V1.0 still refuses to launch even after removing its preferences.
Could there be something in the registry that needs a kick?

Why Mac Help doesn't work after installing Leopard?

After installing Leopard Mac Help shows a untitled window and after few seconds it disappear.

Actually no. I'm working on the same environment before installing Leopard. No firewall...but I'm working from China where a massive Great Firewall is controlled by the government. That case I shouldn't be the only one.

Lightroom 5.7 problem after installing Creative Cloud Photoshop 2014 Trial.

My Lightroom was working fine earlier today. However I wanted to edit some photos from my new Fuji x100T in Photoshop. When I tried to go into my CC 5 Photoshop, it wouldn't load the photos because my Camera Raw Plug-In wasn't up to date and when I tried to update it, it wouldn't update it for CC5 past the version I already had which is 6.7. So I broke down and downloaded the Photoshop CC 2014 trial so I would have the most recent Camera Raw Plug In. After installing it, I tried to open Lightroom and got the message: "Configuration Error. Pleas uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help and mention Error 5. I have never had to uninstall a Lightroom version to be able to install an upgrade and I am concerned about losing information (presets, ratings,Maybe photos) if I do. Not sure why I am getting this message for a program which was working perfectly up to the moment I installed the CC Photoshop Trial. Help! I have work I need to do in Lightroom (and Photoshop) tonight and it is a big problem that I can't use Lightroom.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your reply.
No, I am not using Windows. I’m using Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MacBook Pro.
I ended up trashing (There was no “Uninstall" option) my old Lightroom (which was 5.7), reinstalling Lightroom 5 and then upgrading it to 5.7. Now seem to be working alright.
I uninstalled Creative Cloud 6 and went back to using CS5, using Lightroom to render the files, since I can’t use the latest Camera Raw versions with CS5, so I could work on them in Photoshop. Not an ideal solution. I wouldn’t mind upgrading to CC6 but not if it messes up everything else.
Quite honestly, I don’t understand why an Adobe user should have to depend on other Adobe customers for answers about Adobe problems. Adobe should have a strong customer support group to handle these problems, particularly when they are caused by Adobe. I have been an Adobe customer for at least 10 years. I like the products but the customer support needs to be improved. Apple does a better job.

Launchpad Gestures doesn't work after install Lion

Hey people, I have this problem, after install Lion all gestures works properly, but Launchpad and Show desktop doesn't work even with the option in the Trackpad enabled.
Anybody can help me please.
Kind regards.

Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, continue with the following.
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
The Combo version of updates can sometimes correct
strange problems like yours.
For camera problems in web video, you may need to update to the current version of Flash: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need to update Flash, follow Adobe's instructions and uninstall your old Flash before installing the new one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html

Activity Monitor - Mavericks also Yosemite
Activity Monitor in Mavericks has significant changes
Performance Guide
Why is my computer slow
Why your Mac runs slower than it should
Slow Mac After Mavericks
Things you can do to resolve slowdowns see post by Kappy

IMac 24" doesn't start after installing Mavericks.

After installing Mavericks (10.9.2) the machine started having hiccups... rebooting at random times on it's own. After upgrading to 10.9.3, it only got worse. Reboots were more frequent (as little as 1 minute between each reboot). Then it took the final step and went into a state where it remains with black screen, the startup jingle may begin, but is killed within half a second or less... goes into a reboot loop. The DVD sounds, then it tries to reboot again, DVD sounds... sometimes the jingle starts... but is cut off by a reboot. Trying to get ANYTHING done with different key press combinations (option+command+R+P, D, T, Command, Option... pretty much every single combination one can find online for accessing safe boot or recovery or whatever... does not work. The machine seems to have been killed by Mavericks. I have come across a LOT of posts by other people who have experienced the same thing (rebooting after installing Mavericks) going back to October last year, and a few have experienced the same dead computer issue as I am having... all the while there is no fix or explanation from APPLE regarding this issue. I have even opened the machine up and checked all cable connections, tested the HDD on another computer (was ok), cleaned the memory module connectors etc. Before the total crash I had installed a temperature monitoring program with ventilator control, due to the DVD ventilator running at high RPM after installing Maverics. All the temp sensors were reporting modest temps (ranging from 39 - 79 Celsius (only the power supply was above 50 Celsius).
The computer is as useful as a brick by this point. Since it went dead, it has successfully started up 3 times (out of 500+ attempts), but rebooted within a couple of minutes, into it's cycle of dead reboots.
One way of getting it to boot and prepare for re-installation, is to keep the power button pressed until it sounds 3 times long, 3 times short and 3 times long beeps... it would only start making the first beep... then it rebooted in to death again.
Could it be that Mavericks is destroying the firmware, or even killing the hardware? I also have Mavericks on MBA and MBP, where the MBA has no problems, while the MBP freezes up every 2 days or so... requiring a forced reboot.
Anyone with a usable advice on what to do in order to get the machine working again? How many years does it normally take APPLE support staff to fix serious issues like this one? It's already been over 7 months since the first people began experiencing these issues with Mavericks, but nothing has been done about it on APPLE's end ... as far as I can tell.
Looking forward to some solutions.

Just wanted to write the conclusion of this issue here, and make things as clear as possible.
I took the iMac to a support center, and they confirmed that several components on the power supply board were fried and other parts had been overheated. It took a few weeks for them to get the needed parts (much cheaper than replacing the entire unit). I brought the iMac back home and started it up, and it did work... but it was getting very hot very quickly. I was thinking that maybe I should install Mountain Lion on it, and get away from Mavericks... just in case.... the computer had been turned on for around 1 hour at that point, and then it rebooted.... and stayed dead for 10 minutes or so... until it could start up again. Was on for a few minutes... then dead again.
Clearly the cause of the problem was still present, and fixing the symptom did not prove to be a lasting solution.
The machine would not stay turned on long enough (when it DID turn on) for even formatting the disk, so I removed the SDD from it, formatted it with my MBA (connected through USB), and inserted it in the iMac again. Starting it up resulted in a few minutes being turned on, overheating and crashing. Having downloaded ML and created a USB installer for it, it was now a case of trying one's patience ... hoping for the machine to stay turned on long enough to make it all the way through the installation process.... it managed to do the first part of the installation after several hours of crashing and overheating.... and it came to a point where I simply turned it off and gave up... thinking that the problem simply was physical in nature, and not caused by Mavericks as I had assumed from the start. Next day I had renewed energy, turned the puter on and it behaved in the same way... turning off, then starting by itself trying to get through the installation.... it would fail again and again... I left the house, with it turned on, hoping that it would at least manage to finish at some point in time... so that I could write off my "BAD Mavericks" suspicion. When I returned several hours later, the installation was complete and the machine was purring quietly and the back of the computer was NOT hot like a steam iron.
Now it has been working for several days without any problems at all.
The final conclusion is this:
Mavericks IS at fault, and will physically DESTROY computers that are "somehow" not compatible with it. I would have thought that Apple had enough capable engineers to prevent the operating system to mess up the hardware in this way, but clearly I was wrong on that account. I can only WARN other people to even attempt installing Mavericks on puters of this type:

Anyone claiming that Mavericks is not at fault, is plain and simple WRONG, in DENIAL or LYING. There is absolutely NO doubt in my mind any longer, that the problem was indeed Mavericks getting installed on the machine and messing with the hardware on a level where it should never happen. If someone working at Apple would like to purchase/replace my iMac in order to test it and figure out that this is a REAL problem, they are welcome to do so. I think it is more than guaranteed that the damage caused by this Mavericks nightmare installation will never be recovered, nor will the time and work lost ever be compensated, but I would actually like Apple to acknowledge their responsibility and failure to address this issue in a professional and responsible way.
IF Mavericks was NOT at fault, then someone should explain the logic behind the machine physically burning components shortly after the installation of Mavericks, and even when the SDD had been wiped clean with no OS, it was still overheating and shutting off, until it could finally have ML installed... and at that point it was cured and has worked flawlessly ever since. Not a single hiccup, no over heating, no problems.
My offer to sell/replace the iMac stands if Apple is really interested in looking at this SERIOUS issue with Mavericks. This is NOT a minor issue they should expect simply goes away, or will be ignored by people who experience their machines BURNING to pieces.
On my MBA and MBP Mavericks is not causing any problems, so it is not "all bad", but for the iMac it meant total annihilation.
Anyone who has installed Mavericks on their iMac of similar age as mine, having rebooting and overheating problems: REMOVE the Mavericks installation ASAP and get ML on it before it goes up in flames!
Other Mac's have been reported having the rebooting/overheating problems as well, although I have not noted down which builds those were. The problem is REAL and COSTLY for those who experience it.... both time-wise and in terms of lost time/work.
Hopefully this will help others from getting the same terrible experience as I got, and save some computers from burning up.

Illustrator CS6 doesn't open after installing Yosemite (Java issue)

Illustrator CS6 can't open and gives message "need to install the legacy Java SE6 runtime" and gives Apple link to Java program. But even after installing latest java CS6 doesn't work. What can I do? ?

Claudia,
Here is a direct download link that should work:

Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.
