Lightroom CC crashes on startup

I just downloaded Lightroom CC and it crashes when trying to startup. Any solutions out there?

Thank you
Signing out and then back in again worked for me when I had the same issue.

  • Lightroom CC crashes on startup and "sign out, sign in" solution doesn't work, any other solutions?

    I downloaded LR CC on myMacbookpro and iMac.
    LR5 was installed on both of them previously.
    After installing, LR CC works fine onM Pro, but keeps crashing on iMac.
    I've tried the "sign out, sign in" solution, but never works for me.
    Is there any other solution I can try?
    Since the update, I've edited photos on my 13' M pro instead of 27' iMac and it is getting annoying...

    Did you update to LR 6.0.1 / LR CC 2015.0.1 ?

    von Pete.Green (30. April 2015)
    Today we released an update to Lightroom, Lightroom CC 2015.0.1 (Also, Lightroom 6.0.1) is now available.
    This bug fix addresses issues related to launching Lightroom and accessing online help.
    To Update:
    Choose "Help > Updates" within Lightroom, or click Update from the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    (If you're an early downloader, you may need to restart the CC Desktop application for update to show)

  • Lightroom 6 (standalone) & Application manager crash on startup (Mac)

    Hi All,
    I bought LR6 (perpetual licence, upgrade from LR5) yesterday and installed it flawlessly on my iMac Retina.
    Since it's allowed to have it installed on 2 machines - though not running it at the same time - I tried to install it as well on my MacBook Pro Retina (2012) and........
    The first time LR opened on my laptop, it managed to create a new catalog. Cool. Then...
    When I closed and try to reopen LR multiple times, it crashed on startup.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it wouldn't open any catalog or create a new one.
    Crash happens before LR opens, so I have no way to update to latest version that's supposed to fix startup issues
    More interesting: after reinstalling again, even the Adobe Application Manager wouldn't launch. Says that it doesn't have writing permissions to folder Library/Application Support/Adobe
    This folder contains 3 sub-folders: AAMUpdater, Lightroom and OOBE. Dunno if something is missing there.
    I checked the folder permissions in the Finder (they were correctly set, as I obviously am the admin of my computer) & ran the disk utility twice to check & repair permissions. No change.
    I also extensively read this existing thread (Lightroom CC crashes) and this link (Lightroom doesn't launch or closes automatically after splash screen), but none of them worked for me.
    LR5 is still installed and works fine.
    OS is Yosemite 10.10.3 and all updates done.
    Can any of you kindly help me with this?
    Thanks a lot for your support!

    Can you check to see if you're running the latest update of AE?
    I'm assuming from your information that you can start the program, and see the AE workspace - but then if you try to create a project or anything it crashes? Is that correct? or are you not even getting the workspace?
    Have you tried starting AE with ALL other applications closed? (make sure there is no conflict with anything else)
    Did you install any third-party plugins?

  • Delete Lightroom Catalog to bypass Lightroom CC 2015 crash on startup

    !Lightroom 6 (CC 2015) crashes on startup. I'm running Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.3). I've tried the various fixes listed on the forum (restarting the computer, logout/login of Creative Cloud, and numerous uninstall/installs of both Creative Cloud and Lightroom. None of these have worked.
    However, I've found a temporary fix.
    1. Logout of Creative Cloud
    2. Open your photos folder
    3. Delete any Lightroom Catalogs
    4. Login to Creative Cloud
    5. Open Lightroom CC
    6. A dialog window appears: Lightroom Catalog was not found. Choose the option "Choose a different Catalog"
    7. Choose the option "Create a new catalog"
    8. Lightroom now successfully opens.
    To clarify, I'm not trying to open a Lightroom 5 catalog. I'm not even going to bother importing my actual working catalogs until this issue is resolved.
    This option, while successful, is tedious. Is there an easier fix? Is this an issue with file permissions? Or is the process of opening existing catalogs corrupted?

    Jay,
    If you just completed installing Lightroom CC, try signing out and back in and see if it helps. This link explains how:
    sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app

  • Lightroom CC crashes immediately at startup

    Hi,
    I have the Photography Creative Cloud subscription and was using LR5 before as a standalone app.
    Today I installed Lightroom CC and it crahses immediately when I start it. I see the Welcome screen for 500ms and then it´s gone.
    Can it be that it has to do with the standalone Version of LR 5 messing it up. I want to run both in parallel for a while, just to make sure everyting is fine.
    I´m on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I saw that there is no seperate folder for LR CC in the library, which IMO is kind of stupid from Adobe. I don´t know how they want to properly handle the different versions then.
    Anybody experiencing the same problems or has an idea how to fix it?
    Regards
    René

    Same problem here.
    People in this thread Lightroom CC crashes after installation apparently solved it by login out and in off CC.
    EDIT - Did the same and it works. Just close Lightroom CC, log out of Creative Cloud app and log in again.

  • Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved.  It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Photoshop CC (2014) crashing on startup

    Photoshop 2014 is crashing on startup after first time install.
    Dialog appears "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working"
    It seems to happen within seconds of startup about 80% of the time. Other times it will not crash for minutes.
    Anyone have any ideas. Any help is very much appreciated.

    I did forward a copy of the crash dump to AMD, and yes I am hopeful that the next beta or RC will be more stable for my situation.
    So, after creating a safety backup image of my primary partition, I have been trying to isolate the conditions which trigger the blue screen.
    I cannot honestly say I have tried EVERY possible PS Performance combination.  But I have changed the drawing mode to basic, and unchecked "Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation”, and unchecked "Use OpenCL”.   I experience blue screens with multiple performance settings, but I have not tried all of them….yet   If you could suggest any specific setting I should play with, please let me know.
    I have noticed that if PS CC 2014 is started when I have no other programs running, I have not yet bluescreened. To expand on information I omitted previously, the blue screens I experience happen immediately or within seconds of PS startup, whether it is called from LR5 or started up independently. I frequently have several other programs running concurrently; MS-Outlook, Visio, Photomatix, VmWare, etc. and have not been able to replicate the crashing when no other programs are running except for Lightroom and Photoshop.  The blue screens are definitely triggered by PS startup, but if I can figure out the previously running program combinations which contribute to the crashing, I can probably modify my work habits for the time being.  That would probably suffice until the hoped-for newer version of the Catalyst software is available.

  • Lightroom 5 crashes

    Since yesterday, Lightroom always crashes when being opened, with the note "Lightroom stopped working". It happened for the first time while working with the adjustment brush. Now we can't open LR anymore without a crash. Is there any way to repair the software without losing prior work?

    What is "Safe Mode"?
    Safe Mode is a way to start up your Mac that performs certain checks and prevents certain software from automatically loading or opening.
    Starting up in Safe Mode does several things:
    It forces a check of the startup volume, just like the First Aid feature of Disk Utility. You may see a progress bar on the screen during this check, and the computer takes longer than usual to complete its startup.
    It loads only required kernel extensions.
    It disables all fonts installed by the user.
    It moves font caches to the Trash that are stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/  – where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    It disables all startup items and login items in Mac OS X v10.4 or later.
    In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode opens only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems). These items are different from user-selected account login items.
    Taken together, these changes can help resolve or isolate certain issues that exist on the startup volume.

  • LR5 Crashes on startup

    I have been running LR5 for several weeks since I purchased it through Amazon as a download. Then yesterday it decides to stop working...it crashes upon startup. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail. I have also disabled firewalls, virus software, etc. with no results. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, what did you do to correct it?
    Thanks!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

    Hi dcarpen333,
    Please follow the mentioned steps:
    1. Go to the “Preferences” folder (Win: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences – you can also get to this by opening LR4 and going to Edit menu > Preferences > Presets tab > Show Lightroom Presets Folder button > double click on Preferences folder)
    2. Delete “Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs” should it be there
    3. Rename the “Preferences” folder to “PreferencesXY” or the like
    4. Start LR5 – it should now start and create a new LR5 catalog
    5. Stop LR5 again
    6. Move your old LR1…4 preferences files from “PreferencesXY” folder to the newly created “Preferences” (so that LR1…4 retain their preferences)
    7. Delete the “PreferencesXY” folder
    8. Start LR5 again. Because it now only reads from its own prefs, it starts OK.

  • Help, lightroom keeps crashing without properly opening.

    Hi everyone, this is my first time using a forum so please bare with me. Please forgive me if I am not doing this right. Now on to my Lightroom program.
    I recently installed the program onto my Mac but it has never properly opened. Every time I have tried to open Lightroom it crashes.
    It pops up a small screen with a list of codes which I honestly don't know how to fully read. I send the crash report but it basically tells me it can't be fixed.
    Since I haven't been able to use the program, I was wondering if I am able to delete then reinstall the program. I noticed on the Creative Cloud it says I can't uninstall it.
    So here I am wondering if anyone knows of any alternative ways of fixing this. Maybe changing out some of the programs settings and codes to hopefully make it work?
    I would really love to use this program, I have used it before on my old computer and I loved it. I will would love any suggestions, thanks.

    i just updated to Lightroom CC on my MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite and it keeps crashing at startup. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, still the same. I did this through Creative Cloud. Then I read that you have to download it from the Adobe site to overdo this. Did so and it still crashes. Any ways around this. Very annoying.

  • Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

    Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

  • I installed the latest version of Firefox last night. It worked 3-4 times flawlessly. Now, it crashes at startup and gives me a box with crash detail report. How can I fix this?

    I have a brand new HP dv8t laptop that is straight from the manufacturer 2 days ago.
    Last night, I attempted to download and installed the latest version of Firefox. After installing, it worked great for an hour or so (3.4 different sessions).
    Then, this morning when I came back to the computer, Firefox crashes at startup and gives me the option of finding a solution online or quitting the program.
    How aggravating!
    I have installed this same version on 2 other computers that I own, without any issue.
    I have attempted to uninstall Firefox from the dv8 and reinstalling, to no avail.
    I cannot find the crash report, but I do this see this message once the app crashes:

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.
