I'm running Lightroom 4.0 (trial) but every few launches, it forgets all my presets (develop/export/...) and shows me the initial tutorial again. How can I fix this?

Try this:
Check if in Preferences / Presets tab the box <Store presets with catalog> is checked. If it is your presets are not stored in the default location, where Lr looks for presets but next to the catalog.
Uncheck the box.

    Urgent help. I have upgraded my phone but every few hours the apple appears and stays for 15 min an hour or more?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • I am running Lightroom through the CC, but the CC app shows that I need to install Lightroom ( it is already installed). I am running on a MacBook Pro

    any suggestions?I don't want to reinstall it but I fear I may not be getting updates.

    Have  you installed Lightroom 5.7.1 update, you may getting the install option since you have not installed the latest update, check and confirm latest version of Lightroom installed on your computer. If not I would suggest you to go ahead and install Lightroom  5.7.1 from your Creative Cloud App.

  • I only bought Lightroom and Photoshop subscription but it appears the cloud overwrote all my other old programs and is now demanding a new serial

    Hi,
    I joined the subscription service but ONLY purchased Lightroom and Photoshop.  I had other legally aquired adobe programs on my computer that I was perfectly happy with (dreamweaver - I olnly do the bare minimum of stuff with it, i write my own code mostly - therefore did not need an upgrade)...now it seems Adobe has taken it upon itself to update ALL of my programs to the newest versions and will not let me use any of my stuff until I pay for a new serial for ALL of it.  I can't even read a PDF all of a sudden, because i magically have the newest version of Acrobat, which I NEVER asked for....
    So they basically used my membership and HACKED my computer and updated software - I say hacked because these updates were without my permission...and now they are trying to force money out of me?????  This should be ILLEGAL!  this was a really really really crappy thing to do, since I DO NOT have the money to buy serials for all this other software.  THANKS A LOT FOR SCREWING ME.  would you please now HACK my computer again and fix this????  I should not be forced to update all my software if I DO NOT WANT TO!
    If Adobe does not remedy this I will cancel everything and find other stuff to use.  Too bad, because I prefer this software, but there is always another alternative...
    FIX THIS!!!!!

  • I downloaded photoshops 30 day trial but every time i open it it just says adobe photoshop cc 2014 has stopped working

    but it only gives me a option to close the program if you could help me to get this working that would be very helpful.

    It sound like you download and install Photoshop CC 2014  on some machine running some operating system at some level and there is a problem with your environment configuration.   Photoshop often fails when you don't have a good environment configuration.   Make sure your OS is up to date all the fixes are installed and most important you have a supported Display adapter with at least 512MB of Vram and the latest manufacturer's System Device Driver installed.  If you look at you system crash reports for your Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working crashes you will most likely see that the crashes are happening in your Display's device driver.

  • Adobe CS5.5 Always appear Trial version after few weeks

    Hi I Bought a Licence of Adobe CS5.5 Dreamweaver. for Windows but Every Few Weeks it displays a Trial Version 30 days
    PC Specs
    Dell Optiplex 990
    Windows 7 SP1 Pro
    320Gb HDD
    2gb DDR3
    Intel Core i3 2400
    things that i have already done
    - reinstall software,
    - re enter serial Key
    last part
    Reformat the PC but still no avail
    the 30 day trial still appears after a succesful Intallation of the Dreamweaver.
    any idea how to resolve this..
    Thanksss

    Weird problem.  When you say re-install, did you first de-activate the software (Help --> Deactivate), then run the Clean Tool ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html ) and then re-install?  Or did you just re-install without those steps?
    Also if this problem persists, try creating a new user account on the machine because it is not uncommon to have a corrupt user account where some system files/folders that Adobe uses becomes unwritable or unusable thus putting the program back into that state, although the trial usually has more to do with the registry on the Windows side if I'm not mistaken.

    Just purchased CC2015 Lightroom & Photoshop following a 30 day free trial. All worked well during the trial but now I have subscribed to the plan and downloaded the latest LR version I am unable to zoom into the images and just get a constant 'loading' box and spinning circle. Also, the whole system is very slow - very frustrating! Any ideas? I am running it on Windows 8.

    Running Lightroom 6 on Windows machine (after having upgraded from LR5... While attempting to add or change music in the Slideshow module, LR unexpectedly quits.  After several attempts at this, LR6 won't even launch properly...shows the splash screen but that's it.  The program is buggy...need an update/revision quickly!!

    If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic.  With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

    But I paid for my Lightroom 5.5, LR Mobile is an app for LR5, isn't that unfair not to allow me to use LR Mobile? Adobe should change this policy.

  • When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    Lets clear a couple of things up first.
    1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
    2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
    Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

  • Installed the new Lightroom 5 CC on a Mac running the OX X Yosemite version 10.10.3 (14D136) Lightroom starts to load but within a 1/2 sec it closes. Is there a fix?

    Installed the new Lightroom 5 CC on a Mac running the OX X Yosemite version 10.10.3 (14D136) Lightroom starts to load but within a 1/2 sec it closes. Is there a fix?

    I had the same problem earlier today. Sign out of your account for CC in the Preferences panel, close the CC toolbar app. Then sign back in, and the download process might begin in earnest for you. Took me SIX HOURS to download this pig, and now it crashes continually. This software is not ready for release based on today's experience. Hopefully you will at least be able to get to the level of frustration I have arrived at, beyond the level of frustration you are currently stuck at trying to get it to work.I am on the same OS. Too bad Apple abandoned a pro level competitor to LR. Hopefully in the near future they will update Photos so that it competes well with LR.

  • I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom.  I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but  a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

    What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

  • Win7: Lightroom 6: Install worked but start impossible

    Hi Experts,
    I am running Lightroom 5.7 fine on Win7pro, 64bit.
    Today I purchased/downloaded the upgrade to LR6 (stand alone) from Adobe.
    The installation went well, I had to give Adobe-ID/password, new and old serial numerns: All fine, it did install.
    BUT:
    When I try to start the new LR6, it askes again for Adobe-ID/password, seems to accept, asks me to accept the license agreement (what I do), and then:
    NOTHING: No error message, no system activy no single adobe task runing on my PC.
    Some Tests:
    I restarted the PC and tried again: Same as above...
    When I start LR5.7, it luckily still works fine.
    Internet-acces is fine, including access to https-pages of Adobe.
    So now I am clueless - what went wrong?
    Is there a logfile hidden somewhere that can tell me more?
    Best regards from Hamburg, Germany
    Torsten

    Thanks, but I do not (really) seem to have the CC environment:
    The mentioned search did not show anything in the start menu, BUT there was an entry unter control panel / programs:
    I deleted the Adobe Creative Cloud "program" (installed in February, possibly left over from a trial), restarted, and - had again no luck.
    But still, my issue is solved now:
    It was an internet connection issue:
    Access to Adobe worked well with Mozilla Firefox (no proxy), but Lightroom silently took the unused proxy setting from Microsoft Internet-Explorer (that I rarely use) and failed.
    Oh, Adobe, please tell us what is going on - even a simple "cannot connect" message would have helped ("... while trying to connect to .... , using proxy ..." would even be better, far better).
    Regards
    Torsten

  • Lightroom 5 Free Trial

    On April 14th I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and just when it had finished downloading it told me it could not run because I didn't have windows 7, which I also found out that day. I'm not sure when I will be able to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 but what do I do about my free trial? Will I never be able to use it? This is the only computer I have.

    The trial does not begin until you have installed the software. Since Lightroom 5.4 will not install on XP it's all a moot point. If indeed you are running XP then likely you are using an older computer. When you eventually upgrade to a computer with a supported OS then you will get a full 30 day trial of Lightroom.
