Installed Adobe Lightroom 2.5

I just installed Adobe Lightroom 2.5, It has created a lrcat in my picture folder on my C:Drive, I really do not want it there,can I move it to my external drive?, I have not added any pictures yet.Can someone please help me,thanks.

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that you'd be far better off either using the default setup i.e. leaving the lrcat file on drive C or creating another catalogue file (lrcat) on drive D - assuming you have a twin drive setup which most PC's have. With this setup Lightroom (and your PC) are going to work both faster and more efficiently as Lightroom won't be having to access an external catalogue on the EHD. By all means place your images on the EHD and possibly consider placing your backup lrcat file on this also. Yes, backup the catalogue file regularly.
This is my preferred setup: Drive C (250GB) contains the OS and applications etc. Drive D (also 250GB) holds my day-to-day non photographic related data files plus various Lightroom plug-ins in addition to Lightroom catalogue file (lrcat). Two EHD's (500GB) hold my images with one of them holding the last three backup copies of the catalogue file. Finally, both these EHD's are further backed up to another EHD (2TB).
This setup up works just fine for me as a keen and productive amateur but of course a professional photographer might have a different setup dependent upon needs.

I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC. In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED. Cannot create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets." So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch. What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

The problem was solved today. Here's the full story. I'm a Mac user. At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop). I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" . After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time. Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it. Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem." I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air). She said probably not.
But I did. The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop. I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care. I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name. The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder. The folder is actually there, but they hide it. I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer. Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder. For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed. The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar. Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name. Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted. I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one.
I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense. I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond!

i wiped my computer clean and re-installed the operating system on my macbook pro because it's old and i hadn't done it in a long time. now i'm putting all of my old software back onto the computer. everything else had no problem. adobe lightroom 2 will not let me re-install it and keeps giving me an error message, telling me to contact the software manufacturer. the cd is not damaged at all and i have the serial number for the software, etc... what's wrong? why can't i put it back on my computer? i've done this at least twice before and had no problems.

Installing adobe lightroom on mac book pro

Hi Im trying to install lightroom 3 on my laptop running on OSX Lion v10.7 and its not working.
When I double click the lightroom 3 disk on my desktop and then double click the 'adobe lightroom 3 . pkg' it opens the terminal program
and it says this in the box:
Last login: Wed Jan 4 20:36:01 on ttys000
Lan-Nelsons-MacBook-Pro:Adobe Lightroom 3.pkg lannelson$
Am I missing a step here? or is there a compatibility issue with Lion?
thank you!

Ianilan679 it should be associated with an application titled Installer. If you get info you should be able to select it per the screenshot below. Also once selected I would recommend clicking on the change all button.

Problems installing Adobe Lightroom 4

After downloading Adobe Lightroom 4 on my Windows 7 computer I get an "error reading stup initialization file" message. I am not sure what to do now. My computer meets all system requirements and I am logged in as the administrator.

is it best I pair the upgrade and just put another 512 MB in second slot, or can I put 1 or 2 gig in that slot and get dual channel performance?
That's a good question which often leads to a lot of debate. Most benchmarks show the effect of dual channel is minimal, probably because with most applications memory is not the bottleneck, other sub-systems like the hard drive or graphics are.
It really depends on what you're going to do with the computer: if a lot of Elements 4 work under Rosetta with many windows open etc. I think you'd be well served by going to 2GBs of RAM. If intensive use like that will be minimal, and mostly you're going to "iLife it up," e-mail, surfing, etc. then you'd probably be happy adding another 512MB. Over time as more programs go Universal the overhead imposed by Rosetta will be less & less of an issue.
When shopping be sure to check out OWC (Other World Computing) for their pricing on genuine Samsung memory (I'm not a fan of their "no name" brand). Apple uses a lot of Samsung itself, as well as Micron which you can buy from Crucial.com. Others will have their own favorites to recommend, of course.

Adobe Lightroom disk image error

Hi.
I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011.
Running 10.9.4
The issues i have is i cannot install Adobe Lightroom 5.6
When clicking the DMG file it goes so far extracting then stops with an error - Image Data Corrupted
I have been into disk utilities and verified the DMG
I have tried turning off the verify checksum function in disk utilities.
That allows it to extract further start the install but then stops with another error stating contact the software manufacturer.
I HAVE used successfully the same DMG file on my iMac.
It extracts perfectly and installs with no issues.
Confused and stumped.
Thanks.

Hi,
Have a look at this thread: Re: Installation
Basically you will have to download 5.4 to get the MSI then extract and point the uninstall to the extracted MSI file for 5.4
You can download your version from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows

Adobe lightroom slow

I have just installed Adobe Lightroom on a 17in G4 with 1 gig Memory. I uploaded only about 2000 pictures that are sitting on an external 1 Terabyte harddrive. The thumbnails are pixalated and you can't view a larger image of the thumbnail withinout waiting 20 minutes (actually the larger image never did come up). I have another 15,000 images to upload. Would another gig of memory help? Anyone experienceing issues with Lightroom? I love the product, but right now, it's not doing me much good.

Question. Is Lightroom performing any tasks in the background like rendering 1:1 previews? Basically the comp would be creating full size jpegs of each raw file. Very time consuming, very processor intensive. Try turning off "render standard sized previews" when importing and seeing what happens... if its not on, then I'm out.
I share your enthusiasm for Lightroom, Adobe "gets it" when it comes to these things. Aperture we like you too but you have catching up to do by ahem, allowing xmp data to be imported. (And how about ignoring imports if their already in our library, hello apple!)
Good luck!

My Adobe Lightroom 5.6 couldn't be opened

I installed Adobe Lightroom 5.6 64 bit on my Window 7 laptop and it couldn't be opened. I uninstalled and installed it again. The computer both times say "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000076). Click OK to close the application." What should I do? (I also download the Photoshop CC 2014 and it works fine.)

Installing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Macbook Air without the CD-room

I have recieved Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when I purchased my last camera, but the issue is that it is on a CD and I have a Macbook Air which does not have a CD-room.
Are there any other ways of installing this on my computer without having to buy the CD-room-attachment from Apple? Is it possible to insert some sort of code, as with the Works-package for instance?
