Lightroom 5.3 download won't unpack.

I am trying to install lightroom 5.3 on my new ssd drive (ACHI, Samsung 840 evo 250 gB, W7,x64). The download (I downloaded several times) won't unpack. It says, after starting to put the installation files on my desktop for about 25%, that there was a problem unpacking certain files. I should control space and rights. Space and rights are okay. Strangely enough in the background the unpacking window says that it finished unpacking - which is not the case. I tried to unpack the download from another hard disk and to another hard disk, but to no avail.
Anybody knows what is going on?
Thanks, Hans, The Netherlands

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Tony.
I'm shooting a Nikon D800, but I've also tried importing numerous different file types. It ranges from RAW files from the D800 to photos shot with an iPhone 5s, and even TIFs from a Nikon Coolscan 8000. I'm importing nothing different than before. Also, I should note that often, only a handful of thumbnails for the images in the to-be-imported folder appear.
One other discovery I've made — which may point to this being a problem with OS X Mavericks and not so much Lightroom — I logged into another fresh admin account on the computer and launched LR to test if it would import any photos into a fresh catalog. It seemed to work without a hitch.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the import dialog. This is a fresh catalog. And I cleared recent paths to no avail.
FWIW, I've scheduled an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar tomorrow afternoon to see if they might help remedy this an a couple of other minor issues. Thank goodness for Applecare.
Thanks Tony.

  • Is Lightroom available for download from Creative Cloud?

    I just became a creative cloud member but Light room isn't available as an application to download?

    I assume you're running Windows XP which is not supported by Lightroom 4 so you won't be able to run it until you're on a computer which runs a supported operating system.

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW  or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

    I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
    In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
    Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
    Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

  • Lightroom 5.3 update link takes me to Lightroom 5.2 download!

    I am using Lightroom 5.2 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine.  When I boot up Lightroom if, of course, informs me that 5.3 is available.  I click on the install button on the message, and it takes me to the page to download 5.2.  I try the Search for Updates option in  the Help menu, and the same thing happens.  I think to myself, "Perhaps there is a typo on the Lightroom 5.3 download page, and it just says 5.2 by mistake."  Not so. When I download LR from that page, it is indeed 5.2.
    Why am I unable to download the 5.3 update, and how can I fix this?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Download it and install from here:

  • My Most important Lightroom CS5.5 Catalog won't open

    My Most important Lightroom CS5.5 Catalog won't open. I guess it didn't shut down properly. I called support and was not allowed to speak with technical support. I have hundreds of hours of work which are lost if I cannot open it. The error says: "Unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error." Please help. Please.

    I am getting the same error.
    I am new to LightRoom but already have some "important" photos edited and catalog in LR.  I do not have a catalog with a .lock extension but rather an "unexpected error" as above.  I tried your suggestion but was unable to open any of the three backup catalog files I have.  (I did rename the existing .lrcat before I copied a new lrcat file to the default directory. 
    I would appreciate any other suggestions you might have.  I can not even open LR with this error.  How do I create a new catalog?  The button "Create a New Catalog" take me to a folder but does not seem to create necessary file.

  • Due to our operating system we only have 32 bit, purchased lightroom 6 and download cancelled as says needs 64 bit, is there a 32 bit version i can get, otherwise need money back

    due to our operating system we only have 32 bit, purchased lightroom 6 and download cancelled as says needs 64 bit, is there a 32 bit version i can get, otherwise need money back

    thanks for that, but having tried the various options, still not managed to organize a refund, or anything for that matter, been on hold now for 25 minutes, first time was for 17 minutes, spoke to someone who was putting me thorough, to then have automated message saying issue could not be dealt with and it then hung up! been on to live chat and this was posted: -
    Chat
    24 hours a day, 7 days a week
    Chat is currently closed
    Which would be funny if i havent already spent 3 1/2 hours trying to sort this. I am really not enjoying my adobe experience, never known such a difficult company to speak to a 'live' person. Now on hold for 29 minutes and need to go out so nothing to be done now until tomorrow. If there is a real person from Adobe reading this, i would appreciate a call/direct email to get this resolved. now 31 minutes and I have to hang up as need to go!!! aarrgghhh!!!

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

    Hi. My device won't update iOS in settings. It won't download any new apps for me. (It is connected to the internet). The latest app I tried to download appears stuck! Has not completed its  download, won't open and I cannot delete it. What can I do? I purchased the product online a year ago. I'm not sure of the exact date... I think it was late November 2012.
    Any help appreciated.

  • My downloads won't save, always "file not found." Doesn't seem to be profile or plugin problem

    One day out of the blue, I started noticing that my usual downloads won't save to my designated folders, images, pdfs, and etc. Sure, the progress bar will indicate that it is being downloaded, but once it finishes it just disappears like it never existed. If I hover over the thing, it just shows "file not found." I can even see the file disappear right from the folder it was being downloaded to. I thought it was just a temporary bug since using plugin download manager like FlashGet works fine. Then I noticed even simple image with right click Save As to designated folder won't save as well. I tried looking for solutions: deleting download.rdf (not found); resetting download settings under about:config ( browser.download.dir
    and browser.download.downloadDir not even found); clearing download history; delete downloads.sqlite and mimeTypes.rdf; and even running in safe mode. Nothing helped. I'm about at my wits end. I haven't changed my internet or security settings at all recently.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Lightroom 5 Standalone Download

    If I buy the Lightroom 5 standalone download, can I put it on multiple of my computers without having to buy it again?

    You may have at most two computers running the single license, where the second computer is either a laptop or a home computer. But you can only use one copy at a time:
    Photoshop Lightroom End User License Agreement - Adobe Labs
    2.4 Portable or Home Computer Use. The primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
