How do I regain access to Lightroom 4

Jeff,
I understand that Adobe is offering optional (non-compulsory) upgrades via Creative Cloud; this is in part to address, for example, new Adobe software that may require hardware or OS that a CC member may not possess.
However, Lightroom 5 requires Mac OS 10.7 or later. As I am running Mac OS 10.6.8, and as I am a Creative Cloud member, and as Lightroom 4 can run on 10.6.8, I wish to install this version.
However, I can find no option for this in the Adobe Application Mananger, and no help online at Adobe.
Please Advise.

Jeff,
Thanks for this, and the link (I didn't have it).
This seems to be a critical oversight in the implementation of Creative Cloud. As we all know, upgrades can sometimes cause problems and a plan to revert to previous versions is a pretty basic professional need. Further, some upgrades will have new hardware or OS requirements associated with them.
Currently, it appears that last week was my "last chance to install a compatible version of Lightroom", and it didn't occur to me to check and install all CC suite software - just in case future upgrades make it impossible to do so. If I'm subscibing to software, and you're taking installation (disks, disk images, whatever) out of my hands, then I do expect to have flexible access.
A better system is clearly needed.
Thanks again.

  • How can I regain access to a MAC account? -- Macbook Pro?

    Situation:  My wife has a 13" Mac Book Pro, that we received in May 2011.
    OS: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (not sure which version it came with -- 10.6?)
    My wife's computer had two administrative accounts.  She uses one regularly, and the other is the 'primary' account for downloading updates and such.
    She was unable to figure out how to use Time Machine or any of the other backup software and the like.
    Yesterday, she updated to OS X Lion, and found that a number of the programs that she enjoys using no longer function.
    She wanted to roll-back to Snow Leopard.  After transferring the majority of the 'must-save' files, she put in the install disk again for snow leopard.  This allowed her to start fresh, however, she wants to regain access to those old accounts.  She tried, but, none of the passwords work anymore.  We know what the passwords are; but, they are not working.
    Our ATTEMPTED solution:  She found a site "http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-7339…  This site told her to do something in the boot terminal that allowed her to add a new administrative account.
    She tried going into that new admin account and changing the passwords to the other accounts; no joy.  She changes them, but, they are not retained when she logs off or restarts.
    How can she regain access to her old files?

    Open itunes.  Sign into your account.

  • I have Acrobat XI on a PC and have received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Acrobat will not open now.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI on PC.  After trying to convert a webpage to PDF, I received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Now, the program will not open.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI Pro and have been experiencing all sorts of "freeze ups" with it ever since Adobe released the new Acrobat DC the other week.  I see that an automatic update was pushed down to my Acrobat XI Pro at the same time.  Is this the first issue you have encountered with your Acrobat XI, or have you been having other issues suddenly as well??  Just wondering ...

  • "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" How do I regain access to iPhoto. All I get is an instruction to "quit"

    When accessingh iPhoto all I get is "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" How do I regain access to iPhoto. All I get is an instruction to "quit"

    Hi LarryHN,
    I was loading images via a flash memory card which was inserted into a USB holder – during the 'download' the connection was broken [faulty USB connection]. I then re-inserted the card via the USB holder the connection was 're-broken' with a screen message indicating that 'force eject' was an option. I clicked the 'force eject' option and when I re-inserted the card/holder 120 images [approx] were missing and when I tried to open iPhoto the screen messages detailed above were displayed.
    Current software is: iPhoto v9.2.3; Snow Leopard v10.6.8.
    Using TD's Option 1:
    i.e. “hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database” resulted in .
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" with a window request “quit”
    & Option 2 “Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function”.
    Resulted in the following message:
    “The library could not be loaded because an error occurred. The library database could not be loaded; no such table RKVersionFaceContent. The album data file for the library 'iPhoto Library' could not be read” - [my italics]
    Followed your instructions, re. 'new library' and it worked perfectly. All I have to do is select 'iPhoto Library2' and proceed as normal.
    Thank You very much for your excellent advice and solution.
    p.s. And this is completely 'off the wall' as I don't expect a positive outcome, but is it possible that all the images 'deleted' from my flash memory card could be somewhere in/on my HDD? If so, how would I proceed to recover them?
    Many thanks again.

  • My iphone is disabled, how do i regain access

    my iphone is disabled, how do i regain access

    Yes, thank you for this.  I had upgraded the OS and then entered in what I thought was the original passcode but my iPhone did not recognize it.  I entered in what i thought was the correct one, but then got locked out.
    I have read this article but I do  not have an  iTunes set up, but I do have  iCloud. 
    I understand that I can wipe my iPhone but once I do it, will i be able to regain access to my phone?  Does wiping my phone though iCloud permit me to reset my passcode?  I don't remember what my passcode was, so I would need to reset that too. 

  • My WiFi quit working when I ran Firefox updates. How do I regain access?

    Firefox takex an exceptionally long time to load, I had to call my internet provider to regain access to the net and no longer have access to wireless. It looks as though there is a connection but I cannot access WiFi.

    Might be corrupted network preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
    See if that makes a difference.
    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

  • The computer I used for itunes Died.  I went to transfer my itunes library to my new computer and it is telling me I can only sync purchases.   I had downloaded more than a undred CDs to my itunes before selling them.  How do I regain access?

    HI.  I am hoping someone can help me.  The computer I have used for the last 5 years for my I tunes died.   I got a new computer and went to transfer my itunes play lists over - and see that I can only transfer purchases.  To make matters worse, in order to syn cthe ipod to future purchases it will only sync what is on this computer.  Since I cannot access the old computer, I cannot "copy" the files as all the help topics are directing me to do.  And just authorizing this new computer means I am going to lose all of my non purchased music and playlists.  Can someone PLEASE help me

    in order for you to save your CD music you will have to use a 3rd party extractor to put the content onto the new computer
    http://www.getsharepod.com/
    this is one extractor you can use
    hope this helps:)

  • How can I regain access to my email when it has disappeared?

    My email has just disappeared, leaving me with a totally blank page. Should I delete the accounts and start afresh? Will my existing passwords still work?
    Grateful thanks to anyone who can help!

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How do you regain access to change info on song info

    i had itunes loaded on my old computer and it was sent out to get fixed, i had my files on a external hard drive. i just bought a new computer and dragged and dropped my itunes library into the new computer. the new songs i downloaded into the new computer, i can change the song info on (album, song names etc). the songs that were loaded from the old computer putting them onto the external drive info is greyed out and cannot be changed. is there a way to fix this issue?

    Since you have Vista--there is a possibility that you don't have full permission to alter these files. To change your authorization status:
    Do you store your music in your iTunes folder? Or in a separate music folder or on another hard disk?
    If the files are in your iTunes folder, you can find this by going to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users (in left column)>Your Name (in right column)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music (the FOLDER not the library file)
    Inside this folder with be folders with artist names. Click on one of these and keep opening things until you get to an actual song file, then right click and choose "Properties". When the next box opens, choose the security tab, scroll down and click on your name (probably second on list after "System"). Make sure you have FULL PERMISSION for all functions. If you don't click the "Edit" button and change things so you do.
    If you don't keep your music files inside your iTunes folder, then go to the place where you store these files. Find an actual song file, right click, choose properties and then follow the instructions above.
    P.S.--I know you store on an external--I just reposted one of my responses that should help you. Good luck!

    Aftr 12 months use of LR 4 my serial number has been blocked/abandoned. How do  I regain it

    A licence or try screen appears  and states:-
    Active button - I have a serial number and want to Licence lightroom

  • In upgrading my OS X to 10.6, I lost iPhoto.  How do I regain capability?

    In upgrading my OS X from 10.4 to 10.6, I lost iPhoto.  How can I regain iPhoto capability so I can access to my iPoto Library in the backup disk and downlaod from my camera?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • How can I regain control of .bash_profile after making changes to $PATH?

    Hi,
    Today, I installed Android ADB on my MBP (late 2013) and used the following guide to get it started: http://www.droidviews.com/a-comprehensive-guide-to-adb-android-debug-bridge-and- commands/ - that guide said I should make a change to ~/bash_profile in order to get the settings right. Here's what I did (copied from the link):
    Open terminal window and type following: nano ~/.bash_profile
    This shall open the .bash_profile file. Now enter the following line to define ADB path. export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-macosx/tools export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
    Then, I saved and closed the terminal window.
    Now, I cannot use a lot of terminal commands anymore - sudo, latex, rm, all only give me:
    -bash: latex: command not found
    If I try to access ~/.bash_profile, I get the following error:
    -bash: /Users/richard/.bash_profile: Permission denied
    I tried this:
    RMBP:~ richard$ echo $PATH
    {PATH}:/Users/richard/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
    which only shows me that I have changed the path.
    Is there any way I can regain access to the .bash_profile file and control over the Terminal in general?
    Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    I solved the problem, it seems, by doing the following:
    I found the defective .bash_profile file by using Omni Disk Sweeper, and deleted it right away. Someone else here in the support forum had a similar problem and solved it this way, so that's how I got the idea. The Terminal works nicely now and no other signs of trouble have come up yet.

    Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
    But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

  • On iPhone 5s, since updating to 8.02, when accessing the phone's voicemail greeting section, the greeting, voicemail and dial pad freezes up. Requires restart of device to regain access to phone app. Greeting section can not be accessed.

    Hello -
    I've never had any issues at all with my iPhone 5s. After I ran the IOS 8.02 update, everything seemed fine. Yesterday afternoon (about 8 hours after the update), I went to update my voicemail greeting. So I can open the phone app just fine, use the phone with calls, listen to voicemails, etc., but as soon as I tap the GREETING within the voicemail section, everything in the phone app freezes up. Shutting down and restarting the app does not help. I have to restart the entire iPhone to regain access to the phone app. Interestingly, I can receive a call during this 'freeze' by tapping the ANSWER button during the incoming call. Just can not make outgoing calls, listen to voicemails, etc.
    During this freeze, a message occasionally appears stating that the greeting server can not be reached.
    Beyond that, no ideas.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    I am having this issue too.  Have you happened to find a solution?
    I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.
