Lightroom 4 upgrade problem

Hi, I'm having a problem upgrading to LR4 from LR3 on a Mac running OSX 10.8.1. Am using a DVD-ROM. I get an error message that says: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." Any ideas?

Maybe you could download the trial directly from Adobe and then use your serial # if it installs correctly?

  • Lightroom 5 Upgrade Problem (Yosemite?)

    Hey there,
    I just bought a new Mac and installed my Lightroom 3 without a problem. When I tried to install the Lightroom 5 upgrade (from a DVD), the installing process also seemed to work without any problem, but Lightroom 5 did not appear anywhere.
    Could this be a Yosemite issue? And if so: What can I do?
    Thanks in advance!
    Nadine

    Calmc what error message do you receive when you try to open Photoshop Lightroom?  Also which operating system are you using?
    Also if you wish to download a copy of Lightroom 5 you can download the installation files from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=DT EML.  You will be prompted to enter your serial number when you open the software.

  • My Lightroom 5 upgrade serial number not showing up on My Products page; chat support useless

    I purchased a Lightroom 5 upgrade license on July 25th.  I didn't receive a confirmation email but my serial number was displayed on the order summary page after purchase.  I tried registering the serial number repeatedly through the My Products page but for some reason the serial number wasn't showing up, even though the registration process reported a successful result.  Furthermore, Adobe products bought from the Adobe store should automatically be registered according to Adobe's web site.  Apparently this must have failed.  I need to reinstall Lightroom 5 but the serial number is still not showing up on the My Products page.  I just spent an extremely frustrating hour with Adobe "Live" chat who did nothing but send me in circles and repeat the same canned responses over and over again.
    I'm currently on hold with "phone support" but I'm not optimistic as I've been on hold for 28 minutes.  The only other support option was a link to this forum, hence this post.  Hopefully someone from Adobe can retrieve my serial number and contact me.  Failing this my only other option will be to contact VISA and open a claim.
    My comical-if-it-weren't-so-sad conversation with Adobe support:
    Hi, there are 36 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

    OK, I was able to recover my previous system's image and thankfully it appears you can get the serial number from Help->System Info.  I attempted to register the serial number again via the My Products page and while it indicated that the registration was successful, we'll see.  At least I should be able to install LR5 on my new machine now.
    Edit:  I also just discovered that the serial number is listed under My Orders, but not under My Products.  Weird.  In my defence , I never thought to check My Order history because I never received a confirmation email and the order wasn't listed after purchase...even as late as mid-August (when I last checked.)  Very strange but it's all good now.
    Edit #2: OK now I just feel silly.  I just received an email from Naveen with an actual support case AND the correct serial number.  So, I stand corrected.  The Live Chat process still felt incredibly long with some seemingly canned/automated responses but, in all fairness, he did get back to me.  Thank goodness I washed both feet today...

  • Can I open Lightroom without upgrading my catalog?

    Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do a screen capture, so I'll try to type what I'm seeing.
    When I click on the LIghtroom icon, I get a message box that says "Please upgrade the catalog file "Lightroom Catalog 3" for use with Lightroom 3.  It continues "Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below.  The previews will also be moved to the location and converted for use in Lightroom 3"  Upgrade destination C:/Documents and Settings/...../Lightroom 3 Catalog-7.lrcat
    There is a button to choose a different catalog, upgrade or exit.
    When I open the button to change catalogs, it gives me one option, but when I click on it, I go back to the "Lightroom will create a new catalog"
    My concern with upgrading is that I've a workflow for the catalog that's at C:/Documents and Settings/..../Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.lrcat  Earlier today, I clicked on the dialog that resulted in a catalog at Lightroom Catalog-6.lrcat, but when I opened it, I'd lost all the listings for the Free Agent drive (usually G:/ where I do my daily uploads.  I could still see the external hard drive (E:) where I save edited work, but it indicated that I would have to locate all of the folders I'd created on the E: drive.  I saw only the default collections on the left hand side -- (smart collections, last month, etc.).
    I finally was able to get back to Lightroom 3 Catalog-5, which had all the work, but I'm not sure how to recover all my collections and folders if I Lightroom creates a new catalog at a destination that has a different number.  The problem is that now I can't seem to open Lightroom 3 at all -- when I click on Change, I don't see my catalog 5  in the default folder.  I know I found it once before, and it became an option on the pulldown menu.  But I don't want to have to keep finding it on the drive where I store it so I can keep my indexing and folder and catalog organization. 
    Lightroom 3 Catalog 5.lrcat works fine for me.  My default for backing up is whenever I close the program, so I'm confident in it's integrity.  How can I open Lightroom with the catalog that works for me --without getting messages that seem to force me to do an upgrade I don't want to do.
    Thanks for your help!

    I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a year.    Right now I'm going
    back to the folder with my backups and opening Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.  I
    think I've tried to reconstruct my left side panel with earlier
    Lightroom 3 Catalog x versions.  I don't have all the collections and
    folders I had with my Lightroom 2 catalog.    That catalog seemed to
    have been corrupt when I moved to Lightroom 3.  I don't recall how I did
    it, but I guess I imported the photos and tried to start over with my
    collections.

  • "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo."

    ***** UPDATE July 17, 2013 @ 9:16 am Central Time (UTC -06:00)*****
    After Creating a fresh catalog I have been able to clarify the issue a bit. This error appears to only show up in Folders exported as Catalogs. Particularly when I try and open that exported catalog.
    I suspect there is a problem with the way Lightroom 5 is exporting these catalogs. I didn't have this issue with LR4.4, but it shows up any time I export a folder as a catalog within LR5, regardless of whether or not it is exported from an upgraded catalog or a fressly created catalog.
    It looks like fixing the problem is going to be time consuming, but not impossible. So far I have confirmed that these files - reported as throwing this error by Lightroom 5 ("Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo .... You will not be able to make adjustment to this photo.") - can be imported into a new/existing catalog by multiple methods without carrying over the errors displayed in the exported catalog.
    This is frustrating and adds additional steps to my workflow, but isn't undoable. Of course it would be nice if LR5 worked as correctly and exported folders as catalogs without throwing errors when those new catalogs were opened...
    Is anyone else seeing this problem when they open catalogs created by "exporting a folder as a catalog"?
    ***** Original Post *****
    I'm really confused. I am consistently getting this message on certain exports, but not others...
    When it happens:
    1) "Export this Folder as a Catalog" from a specific folder within my Working Catalog
         Select the location
         Select "Export negative files"
    When I open the NEW Catalog - ALL the photos reflect this error message: "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo .... You will not be able to make adjustment to this photo."
    When I go to the Develop tab it displays "There was an error working with the photo" over the photo, but I can edit it... When I close the catalog and re-open it, the changes don't reflect UNTIL I go back to the Develop tab, then the thumbnail will reflect the change. But the system still insists that it has a problem with the file...
    2) The same thing happens when I export the file from my Working Catalog as an image of the same format - be it tif, dng, or psd, or RAW files. Not sure what I was refering to here (can't duplicate today - July 17).
    When it doesn't happen:
    When I export the file to the auto import folder for my Portfolio catalog (original format). This seems to work...
    Why am I so confused? Because all of these catalogs are located on the same drive (which is different than the drive my Working Catalog is on). When they are auto imported to my Portfolio catalog they seem to work, but everything else throws an error sinse I upgraded to LR5!
    My System:
    Windows 7 Pro SP1 (fully up to date) 64-bit
    Intel Core i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
    Installed RAM: 12.0 GB
    My Lightroom 5 Working Catalog doesn't seem to be having any problems...
    This problem is frustrating enough that I may go back to LR4. I can't have my archived files compromised...

    Suggestion to all who encounter problems like this: if you've installed 3rd party memory cards (ram), go back to your original ram, or at least the brand of ram that your computuer came with.
    Long story, short:
    I had the same error message in LR5.  It only happened with several images in a given import.  If I deleted all of the images from the import and reimported the images, a different set of images would have the error message.  The images that originally had the message would no longer have the problem.  I deleted and reimported several times while observing the same behavior. 
    Not only did lightroom give me issues, but Bridge had problems reading the files, and the previews of the problem images would not show up in Finder (Mac speak).  This ruled out, to me at least, that it was a software issue.  I went out and purchased a new card reader and had the same problems.  I tried a different card with different images and got the same problems. 
    After I contacted Adobe, they had me upload two files with the error, and they said the files were corrupted due to faulty hardware.  I took my mac book pro (13in early 2011 w/ 10.7.5) to the apple store and they ran a diagnostic test amoung other test and we came up with nothing.  Everything seemed to be good on the hardware side.  After some research the Rep. asked me about my ram (memory cards).  I had in the past installed two 3rd party cards to boost my ram from 4GB to 8GB. The rep. suggested that I go home and test the issue with the original ram my computer came with before we go any farther.  So far, I haven't had any issues. 
    I hope this helps,
    Josef

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade killed my workflow. What options are left for importing by reference from a flash card?

    I just upgraded from Lightroom 1 to Lightroom 5.
    I no longer see the option ~"Import from disk"
    The application just magically decides what I am importing from.
    Unfortunately, this used to be my workaround for keeping my workflow streamlined.
    The import from disc option would allow me to import my flash card by reference
    into a temporary catalog that would be active only until a full flash card
    was archived. This temporarily catalog was used to delete rejects from my
    flash card in a Lightroom-leveraged fashion. Once the latest photo update
    on the card was clean, I would import by copy into a permanent catalog.
    This meant:
    -Always two copies of images once I got back to base
    -Ability to leverage develop tools in determining rejects
    -No having to make a list of rejects and then deleting them separately
    on the camera or through the OS
    I see no way to do this with Lightroom 5 and Mac OS X.
    I understand the problem might be coming from the OS change that happened
    at the same time, but since ~"import from disk" is no longer in the menu, I am
    suspecting the change is from the application itself.
    I could probably find out the answer to my question through a bunch of experimenting,
    but I thought I would float the question in an attempt to save time.
    I'm not sure if I can run two versions of Lightroom at the same time on a Mac OS X
    machine, but If I can, is this the only way to maintain my workflow?
    Dave

    "we have serious concerns about customers accidentally importing referenced files from a card that is subsequently reformatted in the camera"
    I understand. So bury the option under the, "Only use if you really know what you are doing. You could destroy everything." heading, Or even as an external file of settings for people who know what they are doing. The point is this has forced me to take a step backward in my workflow which was already a workaround from what I really wanted. Ideally I have wanted all along:
    -Import from flash card to main catalog by copy *and* a special-use link back to the flash card file for each image in the catalog
    -When deleting rejected photos from the catalog, I would have a third option to delete rejected photos from the flash card.
    This way, I avoid not only the new problems created by the Lightroom 5 upgrade, but I would be reducing my imports from two to one. With a slow USB connection, there were advantages in only importing by reference on the first import, but since things tend to run faster these days, I think I would come out ahead overall now.

    I had this same error and managed to get around it by running the .msi file that the CC app downloaded to a temp folder on my own. Steps were:

    2. Run it and install (serial number was already pre-filled out)
    3. Restart the CC desktop app

  • DSL and 9.1 to 9.2 upgrade problems?   Please Help!!

    I have a Beige g3 - 300 w/ 160 megs of memory - using Netscape 7.02 and occasionally Gatesmess IE-5. I have had dial up for 5 years and recently upgraded to DSL w/ Linksys WRT54G router connected via ethernet cable. Wifes HP laptop uses the wireless.
    Problem is when connected to the internet, I get a looong -(30 - 40 second) delay between selecting the url and the page loading with a "resolving host" message at the bottom of the page. The modem send light flashes every five seconds or so and once the system locks on the url it loads really fast. With the dialup there was no delay in finding the url but took a long time to load. Result is it takes about the same amount of time to browse now as before. I don't think the winbox is having the same problem.
    To try to resolve the "resolving host" issue I have been trying to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2. When I download the package from apple.com at the end I get a 127 error which reestablishes itself everytime I click OK til I force quit the System. When I restart the computer, the file is on desktop OS 9.2 update.smi. First I opened the file w/ stuffit 5.2 and tried to install it following the instructions (sharing off, OS 9 extensions only etc) and about 4 minutes into the process I get the Bomb error 10. I have downloaded this three times and upgraded the Stuffit to 7.03 but am having the same problem. In order to get to 9.2.2 you have to upgrade to 9.2.1 first and that is what I am doing.
    Anybody have any ideas either on the "resolving host" issue or the upgrade problem.
    Thanks in advance,
    Beige g3 - 300mghz 160 meg memory   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    Thanks Grant.
    I read the article and it was of some help. Reference TCP/IP control panel settings. I called Commspeed support and they gave me their three current DNS numbers. I typed them per article and nothing - dead. Called them back and they gave me the typical winbox answers "No hable apple" so left to my own devices and considering the stratigies suggested in the article I did two things.
    I opened the TCP/IP control panel and deleted the Name Server Address - As they are supposed to be assigned by the server. There was also a check box that said use 802.3 which was checked. I unchecked it and tried the internet. Blam it was right there. I don't know which stratigy worked as I did them simultaneously.
    Still don't know about upgrading to 9.2.
    Thanks again,

  • Lightroom 4 color problem

    I imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com.  The color  of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer.  It looks horrible in Lightroom 4.  My monitor is callibrated, the import develope setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments".   I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not.  I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color.  What could the issue be?

    Yes, that certainly looks like a problem with the Lightroom rendering. Skin tones and red in general is clearly off, while Windows Photo Viewer looks good.
    I'm almost certain this is a problem with the monitor profile. As troubleshooting, try to set sRGB as monitor profile (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is wide gamut), and see if the difference persists. But try to recalibrate first.
    What calibrator and what monitor?

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade by downloading.

    I upgraded my Lightroom 4 to lightroom 5 , but by a mistake i used the serial number from my lightroom 3 upgrade disc, so now i have Lightroom 5 without the Lightroom 4 futures and i miss all my work from lightroom 4.
    Is it possible to re-upgrade.

    The Lightroom 5 installation does not change your previous installations in any way.  If you had Lightroom 4 on your computer, all you have to do is (from the Lightroom 5 menu) choose File/Open Catalog and then browse to your Lightroom 4 catalog and choose it.  Lightroom 5 will inform you that it needs to be updated and when you choose to do so it could take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours to complete.  It depends on the size of your catalog.
    And, just to clarify, the only thing Lightroom 5 needs from your previous version is the serial number.  It does not depend on the previous version for any other files.  It will read and adopt your preferences, but that is all.  So if the program indicates that you are using Lightroom 5 there is no need for you to try to update again.  You have the program.

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade won't install on PC with Windows Vista

    I seemed to download the Lightroom 5 upgrade just fine to my PC.  But nothing happens when I double-click the application in my downloads folder.  And there's no LR5 icon on my desktop.  Is there a trick to it?

    Please check the system requirement.
    Lightrrom 5 is only supported on Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.

  • Lightroom 4 upgrade extracting issues

    Hello,
    Recently purchased Lightroom 4 upgrade (download version). Currently using Lightroom 3.6 64bit.
    Downloaded successfully, but when tried to extract got this message:
    A. Checked to make sure, but I am logged in as Administrator
    B. Checked the write permissions for the destination folder (Desktop) and write permission is allowed.
    C. I have >30GB available on my SSD HD. I can't imagine it needs more space.
    Thoughts? What should i try next.
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Looked at the Temp folder and all folders appear to have write permissions enabled.
    Also only using MSE which I turned off and double checked to make sure Adaware wasn't running in the backround. No help. Still the same extracting issue.
    I am not sure about the SSD. I think it is rooted properly? Picture attached.
