Lighroom crashes (lightroom unexpectedly quit) Mac OSX

Question

Anyone else had any problems running lightroom on a MAC? I have a pretty new MacBook and managed to run all the beta releases of Lightroom ok. Now for some reason it won't stay running for more than 30 seconds. I have read somewhere of issues using the WEB templates. I've tried the trouble shoots from the Adobe tech support, but nothing good short of re-installing Lightroom. How do I know this will fix the issue. If anyone out there has found similar problems and knows a solution, let me know. Its pretty frustrating to pay £140 or so for software that don't work.

Answer 1

Yes, you must be new to Macs! (not MAC).
<br />
<br />Uninstalling and reinstalling is simple on a Mac, but seldom does anything useful. More important are the Prefs files, and in this case, any hangovers from the betas.
<br />
<br />If you are just starting, I'd suggest a new library. Hold down the Option key on launch.
