Lightroom 5 and ... well Mac OS X 10.5.8

Hello I bought Lightroom 5 and tryied to install it, untill realised I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 on my i Mac. How can I update my system to be able to support Lightroom 5? Thank you.

Maria Bobrova you will want to contact Apple to request an upgrade.  You can find more information regarding the current version of Mac OS 10.9 at Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.  I would recommend reviewing the technical specifications to confirm that your Mac is able to run the current version of Mac OS.
Finally you can find the system requirements for Lightroom 5 at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 for Mac, Windows, PC – Tech specs.

    Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
    You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

  • I have PS 4,5,and 6 installed on my Macbook Pro as well as Lightroom 4 and 5. Can I remove PS 4 and 5 and LR 4?  PS 4 is the total install and PS 5 and 6 are upgrades. LR 4 is the full package with LR an upgrade.

    I need space!

    First let me disabuse of a misconception:  All Adobe upgrades are FULL installers.  Whether you buy them as upgrades or new versions does not make an iota of difference.  The upgrade installers do not need to find a prior version installed, they just prompt you for the old serial number as well as the old one, and they do not rely on the old version in the least.
    Second, the time to uninstall an older version is BEFORE upgrading to a newer one.  Otherwise, the uninstaller from the older versions will mess up with your new install.  There are a gazillion files that are named the same and in the same locations as the new one.
    Your best bet now is to uninstall ALL the Photoshop versions you have installed, including the newest one, one by one, then run the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool, then run Repair Permissions from Apple's Desk Utility, and finally re-install the latest version.
    The other alternative, if your boot HD is large enough (very doubtful in case of a laptop like a Mac Book), is to leave all versions on it.
    Your choice.

  • I bought Lightroom 5 and have always updated it. Now on my new Mac Book I cannot update it anymore.

    I bought Lightroom 5 and have always updated it. Then my Mac Book pro crashed and I had to by a new Mac. I installed Lightroom via my backup on the Time Machine. That went well, now I though cannot get a new download of Lightroom. Do I need to by a new version of Lightroom if I have a new Mac, and if yes how can I transfer my pictures into the new Lightroom? I would have a free version of Lightroom 5 left over from buing a Leica camera, can that be used? Can Lightroom 5 be updated to Lightroom 6??

    lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
    I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
    If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
    Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

  • I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom library and I notice that all the images shown on there are DNG. On my MAC hard drive I have images shown as NEF. I desperately need to free up space on my hard drive, can I safely delete these NEFs?

    heidie22, dj_paige has a very good point there. I would not through away the NEF files; I would archive them to a external drive.
    By the way, I am assuming that converting RAW files to DNG is a decision you have made and not an accident.

  • Bought a Mac Mini.  at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function.  Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it.  Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.  First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

    I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes..  So many people told me Mac was the way to go...  1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop.  Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US.  While I have junk..  It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.  Again.. locks up and does nothing.  What can I do with this?  Toss it in the trash?  Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

    It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
    Please reconcile the following

    ... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
    If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
    If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
    "Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
    If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
    You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

  • I have purchased online and downloaded the lightroom 5 for my mac, but it doesn't work.

    Hi,
    I have purchased online the lightroom 5 for my Mac.
    I have downloaded and installed it, but when I open it I can only see a READ ME document with instructions. What do I have to do to be able to start using it?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    as I’m using a Mac so I have download the file with .dmg extension, which is the one that currently doesn’t work.
    I also tried to download the .exe one, but as expected when I double click on it, I have an error message that confirmed Windows is not supported.

    I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

    First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
    Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

  • 16 Gb vs. 8 Gb of RAM for Lightroom 3 (and CS5.5) on the Mac?

    Hi!
    Being a Lightroom newbie -- I've used the CS apps quite a lot -- I thought I'd repost this question here (the original thread can be found at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4056775#4056775).
    I've ordered a Macbook Pro 15-inch with a 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. I'm going to be using it, most importantly, to run the CS5.5 Master collection -- as well as, for the first time, Lightroom 3.
    My question is: should I bite the bullet and get 16 Gb of RAM right away? Or would that be just a waste of money, 8 Gb being sufficient for my purposes? That is, how much of a difference would the RAM doubling make for Lightroom use (as well as Photoshop and Bridge)? I generally work with moderate-sized images (< 200 Mb; though I may be getting a higher-resolution camera in the near future). I do like to keep several big apps open (e.g. Bridge, Photoshop, and InDesign).
    The 16 Gb vs. 8 Gb price difference is, of course, huge (something like 350 euros vs. 50 euros). Money's kind of tight (I got the Adobe student discount for the software), and I feel I really should be saving up for a better camera.
    Do you think the Macbook is otherwise up to the task (if I forget serious video editing, as discussed in the other thread)?

    Thanks!
    gatorjim2000: both Crucial (crucial.com) and OWC (macsales.com) have 16 Gb kits for the Macbook Pro.
    web-weaver: I don't have LR on my old computer, so I can't take a look at memory usage right now.
    As for other apps, I was kind of hoping to have a machine where I could have several big apps open simultaneously. But since I'll be getting an SDD (I hope a 128 Gb isn't too little? I'll add an HDD in place of the optical drive), applications will at least be starting quickly.

  • If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

    If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

    Yes, a single serial number can be used to install on two computers and one can be a PC and one a Mac.   The download will be a different installer for each platform but the serial number should activate both.

  • I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again.  But that is a different issue...
    The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing...  But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
    I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
    I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
    And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

  • If I buy creative cloud for PS and Lightroom 5 for a mac can I also put it on a laptop for the price of $119 per year?

    one subscription entitles users to install and activate their adobe apps on up to two computers concurrently.
    so yes, you can subscribe to the photographer plan and use both ps and lr on a desktop and a laptop (or two desktops or two laptops).  they can both be macs or both be pcs or one of each.
