Lightroom 5.5 will not launch after CC update

My Lightroom 5.5 was working just fine.  Yesterday after doing an update on Creative Cloud, and rebooting the computer, LR will not launch.  When I click on the icon, it opens the splash page for a split second, then crashes.  Any suggestions of what may be happening and what to do?

I had this issue with Photoshop on Windows from the very beginning of my subscription -- i.e. since end of last year. Now, after latest update Adobe managed to introduce same problem with LR 5.5. Here is how I "solved" it on Windows:
I have two scripts that I am using to start PS and LR
rd "%programdata%\adobe\slstore" /q /s
rd "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\adobe\slcache\slconfigs" /q /s
echo *** Start the sucker ***
pushd %programfiles%
"Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5\lightroom.exe"
popd
I don't have this problem on Mac and don't know where this cache lives there, but it should be somewhere. Idea is that you remove the cache and configuration, then start the app, it registers itself and starts. Unfortunately, I have to do it every time. Tech support have no clue about any solution for that, you have to ask them to transfer you to product support.
Good luck,
Sergei

  • Itunes will not launch after latest update 2/2014

    Just installed latest update for iTunes on 2/21/2014 on my MBP running snow leopard and after restarting MBP iTunes will not  launch.
    Thank you
    MacBook Pro
    Late 2008 unibody running Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Yes, first, I would run Disc Utility; Verify Disc, Verify Disc Permissions, & Repair Disc Permissions.
    Then I would go here > http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ for the .dmg file download.
    Then I would reinstall iTunes. So, unless you do not have enough free space on your hard drive, that should work.
    Otherwise, it may be time for some spring cleaning...

  • Lightroom CC (2015) will not launch after install removed and re installed and re boot nothing!

    Lightroom CC 2015 was installed today via Creative Cloud but will not open, removed program and re installed still nothing. Did a reboot and still nothing. Creative Cloud says that it is installed.
    Windows 7
    Thank's for any help!

    Update:  the trick is to try it over and over and over again.  CC desktop warns it wants me to register my product and complete a profile (bizarre.)  But it is updating the catalog now so I presume it will work.
    Have same problem.   Shows installed; I found "Adobe LIghtroom.app" which was installed today 1.51gb; when I click on it it flashes and then nothing.  I restarted the mac, restarted the CC app, nothing.   Very frustrating and makes me wonder if the Cloud solved any problems for me.

  • Lightroom 5.5 Will Not Launch after update

    I'm getting the following error when trying to launch Lightroom after downloading the 5.5 update:'
    PLEASE HELP!

    Does it help (or change anything) if you launch Lightroom 5.5 with administrator privileges? (Right-click on the icon, then select "Run as administrator".)

    My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
    iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
    Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.    

  • Hello, my iphoto on my mac OS X Version 10.5.8 will not launch after talking with an apple support tech.  She had me sinc my iphone to my mac desktop and my photos downloaded from my iphone and were at the bottom.  Now the iphoto will not launch.

    My iphoto app will not launch after talking with an apple tech support who had me sync my iphone 4S with my mac desktop.  The pictures downloaded from my iphone and after disconnecting from the Apple help, my iphoto had disappeared from the very bottom of the screen and will not launch.  Can you help me retrieve my pictures.  They are still on the computer.

    Any help here:

  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!

  • ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

    iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
    then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
    iTunes current version
    on imac w/10.6.8

    I have the same issue.
    Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
    Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
    Thanks!

  • Lync mobile app will not launch after upgrade to lollipop on HTC One (M8)

    Lync mobile app will not launch after upgrade to lollipop on HTC One (M8). Is this a known issue or is a fix available?

    Hi THGutz,
    Did you install the latest version of Lync for Android ?
    The current version of Lync for Android is
    5.5.3.8935.
    I don’t test it on M8, but on other Android 5.0 devices it works fine.
    Best regards,

  • Aperture (2.1.2) will not launch after 10.5.6 installed

    Quite possibly this problem happened because of something else I did. However I just now noticed today that Aperture will not launch after I installed 10.5.6 last week. This is the first time I tried Aperture since I updated.
    Help! This is VERY important to me as I do all of my photo ediing these days with Aperture. I have a couple of thosand photos waiting .
    Is it possible to download a new copy of Aperture? Yes, I am a registered owner and first paid the full $300 for this app.
    Any and all help most appreciated.

    try going through the application maintenance steps. You mentioned that you ran repair permissions prior to installation, this needs to be run AFTER any application install. As it could be any number of things causing the issue I have listed in sequence some steps to take for trouble shooting/maintenance.
    1. Repair permissions on system drive and drive with application on it.
    2. Verify and repair the disk with the library on it. If on your system disk run verify to see if it needs repair.
    3. Remove the application preferences found here:
    system disk/users/users/library/preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    •test application
    4. CMD+OPT when clicking on the Aperture icon to launch it and choose consistency check
    •test application
    5. CMD+OPT and choose rebuild library
    •test application
    6. Remove any installed plug-ins from following directories
    system disk/users/users/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
    system disk/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
    •test application
    7. Hold the Option key down and launch Aperture and see if you get the option to create new library or choose library, try both of these steps.

  • Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update.

    Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update. Mac OSX 10.8.5. Tried the suggestion to log out of Adobe Cloud and log back in. Also rebooted computer. No luck. Photoshop CC 2014 seems to have installed perfectly. Can't install previous version either, can't even find it via Adobe Cloud. Tried re-downloading from Adobe web site but it sits there saying "downloading now" -- but nothing is downloading!

    Charr please see Not able to launch Lightroom after updating it to 5.5 from Creative Cloud for possible solutions to allow Lightroom to open.

  • Mail not launching after font update

    Mail will not launch after recent font update, how can I reinstall Mail or repair it?

    Have you tried repairing permissions? Are you using a font activation program? If so maybe try turning fonts off in groups until you can get mail to launch and try to narrow it down to a bad/corrupt font?

    my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
