Light Room (CC) fails to start

I downloaded the new Lightroom CC via Creative Cloud and it reported that LR(CC) had loaded. Unfortunately when I tried to open the new LR the program refuses to start. This is regardless of whether I try to open the program via the Desktop icon or directly on the LR file via Explorer. I am running a Windows 7 PC. Any suggestions??

Tried signing out & in multiple times including reboots, still won't start. Pops up with "lightroom trial" (which it is), I can click license software or continue trial. When clicking on trial the windows goes away but nothing happens. I'm a bit reluctant to pay for a product that seems fine but won't start . Can't find this "SLcache" folder which some people refer to and I don't know what to do next.

    I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.

  • 'Failed to start Light Display Manager'

    Introduction removed
    I'm having some trouble with xorg, 'startx' refused to work (I have xorg-server obviously). I read symlinks and configs that are meant to be present in /etc and /usr, and I can't detect anything abnormal. I have the non-proprietary xf86-video-intel drivers installed, and I don't think any config is required on those.
    And of course, the PC won't boot directly into the OS now, with the message:
    [FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager.
    See 'systemctl status lightdm.service' for details.
    [OK] Reached target Graphical Interface.
    I have no way of typing into the console, and therefore logging on, when this error is present.

    EDIT: you'd want to specify the multi-user target.  If you need help adding this to your kernel line while booting up, this would depend on which boot loader you use.  With grub legacy you'd hit 'e' on the menu screen to edit the kernel parameters.  With syslinux it is tab ... I think.  With the new grub, I'm not sure, it may still be 'e'.

  • My G4 Mirror door fails to start up. Light comes on momentarily and you can hear it trying to start, but nothing happens. Unplug and plug back and try again eventually it will start.

    Last night, after being off, G4 failed to start. Light comes on momentarily, then goes out. Unplug and plug back in and try again until finally starts up.

    Hi Jim,
    Could be a few things, but first...
    Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

    Another common one is bad Capacitors in mostly the PSU, that need to bleed off charges before things work right.

  • Getting Light Room 4 Serial Number logged in to start

    I purchase Adobe Light Room 4 several months ago and loaded the software on my iMac.  I just tried to get started and was unable to get acceptance of my serial number.  My serial number is an 18 character string.  My serial number has a bar code under it.  There is also an ID PN and is followed by 8 numbers.  I also tried submitting that ID and still didn't get the next button to light up. I noticed that the serial number format for Adobe LightRoom4 for signing in was 24 characters.  What am I doing wrong?

     

  • Starting Light Room 4 after installation

    I seem to be having issues opening Light Room 4 now that I've installed it on my Mac (snow leopard).  When I double click the icon on my desktop (or use other opening methods), it returns to the installer/read me prompt. I have reinstalled it 3 times only to have that issue continue.  How do I handle this without crying?

    this is the screen that repeatedly comes up even though I have installed it. I have a mac os x version 10.6.8 with snow leopard installed.

  • Why does lightroom 5 do not read or can't find my raw files when I'm trying to import my images from my camera to light room

    It just started happening out of the ordinary. I had a photo shoot done today. I came home plugged my camera usb to my mac lap top and tried to import my raw files as i usually do into light room 5 to edit my images. This time the same error message popped up stating it couldn't read or my files weren't found over and over again. Neither the new ones nor the old pictures was able to import them. Please Help!

    I just bought Lightroom and have the same problem - MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.1. LR actually displays the photos properly when previewing but fails when starting the import. Also, a couple of times it would start but would hang up. I think it may be a Yosemite problem. I was having trouble importing with Aperture too. The fail message from LR was:
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (6)
        IMGP7941.JPG
        IMGP7942.JPG
        IMGP7944.JPG
        IMGP7943.JPG
        IMGP7945.JPG
        IMGP7946.JPG
    I can copy the folder from the camera to my desktop and then import. That works but of course I shouldn't have to do that.

  • How do you transfer Creative Cloud (Light Room & Photo Shop) from your old Desk top to a new desk top

    I have just got a new desk top and I am trying to work out how to get The creative Cloud programs I use (light Room and Photo Shop) off my old Desk top and onto the new desktop. Does any one know how to do this or have already done it, or do you have to cancel the subscription on the old PC and start a new subscription for the new PC.

    Hi Jessica,
    You do not need to cancel the subscription. You can simply follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps which will help you to install the Adobe CC application on your new PC.
    If possible you can also deactivate the license from your previous computer using the article: Activation & Deactivation Help.
    Let me know if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • After using VMware once, boot camp partition fails to start up

    Start up repair also failed.
    I just installed Windows 7 64-bit onto my brand new macbook pro using boot camp. Everything went fine, I installed the drivers and everything worked perfectly.
    I then installed a couple games (Maplestory and L4D)
    Neither of them worked.
    I went back to Leopard and started up VMware Fusion just to mess around with Windows. Actually, all I did was re-install L4D. L4D started and worked. Surprised, I tried maplestory. It worked as well. Then I curiously restarted in windows. BSOD. Failed to start. Repair failed.
    Someone shed some light?
    EDIT: After restarting a couple more times Windows started. Neither of my games work though, only in VMware. Anyone know why?
    Message was edited by: DxRania

    Actually for me it worked perfectly under Vista Ultimate x64, and yes I do actually get an error it's error -2147467259 (unspecified error)
    Compatibility mode does not work as the new "Hack Shield" prevents this....it thinks I wanna hack the game and just says maplestory will not start in compatibility mode.
    Thanks for your reply by the way
    EDIT: Forgot to say, all the drivers work fine. What bugs me though is that it works in VMware..

  • Purchased Light Room 5, installed, registered .. but keep getting this screen "An error occurred when attempting to change modules. ... OK" ?? WTF? ?

    Installed Light Room 5.2 from Disc on my mac os x (latest, updated version)
    But keep getting this "An error occurred when attempting to change modules.. OK" no other options/selection and of course if I click OK ... it crashed out ...
    Can anyone help?
    For such a big company .. there isn't any chat option to get to someone to talk to  !!!

    Just because you are the only user on the computer doesn't mean you are the administrator.
    Also, the fact that you are being asked to re-enter your serial number each time you start means that it is not being remembered because something is either preventing it from being written to you disk or (less likely) something is erasing it. This does suggest that you lack certain permissions to make changes to your computer. Not only to save your serial number, but to have access to the Lightroom files needed to change modules (they are just plug-ins within Lightroom).
    Try creating a new user account and run Lightroom from there (making sure that it is part of the Administrator group).
    To get to chat support, you have to choose the options:

  • I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop

    i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

    Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
    Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
    Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
    Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
    If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
    Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
    Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
    Highlight your card.
    Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
    Then start the import.

  • Is it normal for Light room to delete files on import

    I normally copy my CF images to my hard drives before I import to Lightroom with the option of not moving.  I tried to directly import from the CF card and after the import, no files were on my CF card and around 40 images had not been copied (error message of images not imported.)  I was able to use image recovery software to save the recovered image to my hard drives. Am I missing a setting to let LR 3 not erase the images after importing?

    Thank you for your opinion.  I purchased the Hoodman card because of their good track record for a wedding I have to shoot in two weeks.  I packaged the thread and sent it to them to see what they think the problem might be.  I an a little confused because the eImage Recovery Software got all the images off the card.

    Subject: Is it normal for Light room to delete files on import
    This sounds like a bad card.  Lightroom was just responding to flaky results from the file IO requests it was making.  Since it never tries to make a "write" operation on the card, the actual mounting and read action caused the card to fail.
    I would not trust this card any longer, though formatting it in the camera will allow it to map out the bad spots.  But the card will fail miserably again in the future, this you can count on.
