Lightroom 5 will not start under OSX Mavericks

After updating to OSX Mavericks, Lightroom 5 will no longer start on my MacBook Pro. Checking the system log, I see only this:
10/30/13 8:56:00.390 AM spindump[21481]: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 [21388] didn't gather any samples due to audio running
10/30/13 8:56:00.406 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[170]: (com.adobe.Lightroom5.30128[21388]) Exited: Terminated: 15
Any thoughts on why Lightroom 5 will no longer start?

No, I have no idea but would suggest that if running Lr5 then d/load and up date to Lr5.2 from the Adobe site and see if that works.
BTW Lr5.2 and Mavericks work fine for me and others I hear of.

Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

Solved it!
It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
How I fixed it:
* Download the latest Firefox
* Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
* Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
* Hit Finish
* Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
* Leave everything disabled
* You should now have a working Firefox!
Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

IPhoto (9.5.1) will not open in OSX Mavericks

Grateful for some help. A few months back we had to take our Mac into Apple store because TimeMachine wasn't backing up. They ran loads of diagnostics and said problem was a corrupted OS. We backed up everything and they loaded OS X Mavericks on for us. They then re-loaded everything from our back-up. Everything seemed to work ok except Iphoto which would not open. We called the Apple Support people who talked us through some steps. They couldn't identify the problem but said they could solve it by creating a second iphoto library (2). They did this and whilst it opened ok all of our old folders had disappeared.
However now (few weeks later) iphoto will not open at all. I have tried to access it through the desktop, Applications, finder etc but no joy. I've read through various community conversations and see that there has been problems with OSX and iphoto. I've tried downloading Library Manager Upgrade 1.1. but when I try to run it says my version of iphoto doesn't need it.
Details:
iMac 27" Mid 2011, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 (13C64)
IPhoto V9.5.1
Any help please!

Try this:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).

Lightroom 5 will not start but shows as running in task manager?

Hi,
I'm using Lightroom 5.7 (64 bit) on a Win7 machine and it was working perfectly until a few days ago. Now for reasons unknown to me, it will now not start correctly. According to Task Manager it is running but nothing appears on screen. It shows as a running process using about 15,020k. If I try and end the process it will not stop until I have tried 4 or 5 times.
I have tried renaming the preview file to force it to build a new file, and optimizing the data base and it ran once, said it was checking the catalog, and then reverted to the same behaviour.
If I can get it started I can revert to a backup database.
Help appreciated.
Peter

Thanks for the input.
Turns out Lightroom not guilty. The hard drive containing the catalogue was failing and although tests seemed to show it as OK it was actually only reading / writing at a fraction of the correct speed. So Lightroom was taking a long time to read it's own catalogue. It tooks 48 hours to copy 1 gig of data off the disk.

Lightroom 4 will not start on MacBook Air

New Lightroom and Mac user so help needed please - Lightroom installed on Mac Air Book (LIon OS) but will not open - keep getting error message - "error occurred when attempting to change modules" - Any ideas please
Thank you
Tony T

I have exactly the same problem. I was running on a 32 bit system without any problems, but after instaling Win7 in 64 bit, this is the result. Sometimes an error message appears when starting Lightroom, saying the application crashed, but most of the time it just doesn't start.

Lightroom cc will not start

I had a hard time with the installation but now lightroom cc won't start!

Same here, there seems to be a licensing issue.

Acrobat reader will not print in OSx maverick

I have not been able to print pdf files in Acrobat Reader using OSx Maverick. I have re-installed the the most recent version of Acrobat reader a couple of times but no success printing. Anyone dealing with the same proble and is there a solution?

All I can report to you is that I can print from Adobe Reader just fine. I'm using an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1 and have been able to print since day one. One suggestion is to use Adobe Reader's print button icon instead of just Command-P. You might also try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
What happens, exactly, when you attempt ot print and how do you try to do it?

What is the problem with the latest update of Firefox - 30. I have tried the update 4 times (Win 7 Pro ) Program will not start under conditions?

That's it.
After update the program will not run. No matter which method I choose. I.E. Run as administrator. Double click.
I tried starting multiple windows but when each one get to a few 2000 mbs showing in Taskmaster they re-treat and close down??
Uninstall and re-install the old version and everything is hunky dory?
Well apart from informing me that there is an update available.
Many thanks :)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Lightroom 4 will not work on OSX 10.6.8 and 2GB ram

after loading LR 4 i get this message even though my computer meets LR specs:
"will not work on this computer" does anyone know why?

What is your CPU? There are specific limits to the type of processors your CPU has.

Lightroom CC will not start up

Lightroom CC has been installed through the Cloud. When I click on it, I very briefly see a start up screen then it shuts down.
I have LR 5 still on the computer but the instructions stated it would not be affected.
Any ideas what this should be happening?

Lightroom 3 will not start

I am on an iMac.
I ran MacKeeper for the first time and after doing so Lightroom would not open.
When i try i get a report:
Lightroom 4 Beta opens as do all other Adobe products.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

From a quick Google of MacKeeper, it appears to be some sort of almost malware or almost scamware.
You can try re-installing Lightroom. If that doesn't work, try renaming your preferences file. This will tell you where to find it.

Lightroom 3 will not start up

The message I get upon trying to open Light room 3 - Lightroom cannot use the Catalog named "Lightroom 3 Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

I am running on a PC window 7 Home Premium
Computer is not connected to the internet.
Computer Hardware is Intel i7-3770 with 16 GB Ram
Everything has run fine for over a year until the other day, when without warning, Adobe Premier elements stopped working, but is now fixed thanks to the forums. And now Ps and Lightroom are dead.
AC
I will now check your suggestion DJ , thanks.

Lightroom 3 will not start, even after deleting the .LOCK file.

I have read about deleting the .lock file and that did not work. I have restarted my computer and that did not work. I tried opening a backup catalog and that did not work. I delete the .lock .journal and the catalog and the resorted from the back up. It created a new cataloge but it still did not work.
Any Ideas?
All my software is updated. and was working before.
MAC OS 10.6.8
LR3 3.6
Thanks All.

Thanks for the help. However it did not work.
I held the Option key and was able to create a catalog. I should explain LR3 tries to start. Then I get a message that LR3 unexpectedly quit. I am trying one more thing. I only had 15GBs of space on the HD. I am clearing more space to see if that works. I had updated the OS too.
OS is Lion 10.7.3
and LR3 3.6
Thanks again for trying. If you think of anything else let me know.

Lightroom 5 will not run on OSX 10.6.8. Can I get Lightroom 4?

I was bummed to see that almost all of creative cloud works with Mac OSX 10.6.8, except Lightroom 5. I'd like to know if I can get lightroom 4, instead of lightroom 5? My hardware won't support 10.7, and I can't afford to upgrade my machine right now.

adobe no longer sells lr 4, but you might be able to purchase via a 3rd party.
amazon often has vendors that sell out-dated software.
