Lightroom CC does not start on an iMAC.

Hello, I downloaded and installed Lightroom CC on my iMAC (Late 2009, i7 CPU, Yosemite OS) and it does not start at all. I can see for second the welcome window before it closes without providing any error message!?
Could be a software bug or a configuration problem?

Lightroom cc does not start windows 8.1

updated lightroom cc (6) on windows 8.1. Now lightroom does not start. nothing happens when I open it???

Hi,
After installing lightroom CC you need to log out from the Creative Cloud and once again Sign in.
Do this by:
Preferences>Account>Log out from the Creative Cloud.
Let me know if worked.

Lightroom cc does not start. logout and login in creative cloud does not help. Have a test account, 2 days more to go (and want to decide whether to buy PS & LR CC or to stay with current desktop solutions.)

I installed lightroom cc. But it did not start. Tried the solution, that seemed to help many others (logout, login) but it did not help. Even did logout, restartet pc (win 8.1, 64) and logged in again. tried to log out and log in in the cloud panel and in photoshop cc. nothing helped.
Maybe it has to do with the fact, that i have a test account and only 2 more days to go? but i need to launch lightroom cc first before i can decide to purchase CC.

Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
Type /etc and hit enter
Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
Problem solved!

Lightroom 6 does not start

I installed creative cloud update et lightroom 6. Notting works now, even mi previous version of lightroom. Please help

Okay, Solution 1 from this link Error "Unable to start correctly - 0Xc00007b" fixed it for me. But now it's asking me for the serial number which I can't find anywhere... shouldn't that go without with the cloud?

Lightroom CC does not start

I have an evaluation copy of Lightroom CC which has been working fine on my Mac, but now suddenly refuses to start. I see the splash screen inviting me to continue the trial, but after I say Continue, that window closes and nothing more happens. I've tried logging out, then logging in, from the CC app, and also deleting preference and cache files. What would be the next thing to try to get it working again?
Thanks very much,
Peter

My effort on Windows 8.1:
* I installed LR5 trial version the day before LR CC 2015 was released.
* I upgraded to LR CC 2015 but could not launch it. Could still launch LR5 trial.
* I uninstalled LR 5
* Multiple efforts at signing out, rebooting, uninstalling LR CC2015, Adobe Cloud, reinstalling same - No Joy
** Note that it still indicated "29 days left in trial" even though it was now 28 days. hmmmm
* Uninstalled LR CC2015 and this time said [x] Remove preferences
* Reinstalled LR CC2015 and signed out of CC as previously noted.
* restart of LR CC2015 now shows me 28 days ! yay! but still goes away right after I click "Continue Trial"
In the end, I got on the chat with the Adobe Live Support just like karens79496233 suggested and as noted before, had me delete some lingering cache files
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache and C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
And we are off and running !!

Lightroom Import does not start automatically

Using Ver 1.1: when I connect my D80 Nikon, I don't automatically get the Import window I used to get.
A window does appear asking me which program to start, but it doesn't include Lightroom.
How do I get it to start automatically?

What OS?

Lightroom CC does not start on MAC

I downloaded the version of Lightroom CC for Mac and start the program makes an attempt to get the initial welcome screen and the program closes. Made several attempts and does the same. I uninstalled and reinstalled and behaves the same. Lightroom 5.0 is working properly and my system runs at 64 bits with 16 GB of RAM. Can anyone give me a solution. thanks

Could you try to logout - and in again from the Creative Cloud app.
Then relaunch Lr Desktop.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom 3 does not start after hard drive replacement

I have just recently replaced the hard drive on my IMac. All files and applications have been re-installed from the time machine back up drive. LR shows up on the dock but when I open it it comes up with:
"The Lightroom catalog named “Lightroom 3 Catalog” cannot be opened because another application already has it opened" and "Quit the other copy of Lightroom before trying to launch."
Do I have to reinstall LR3 from the LR DVD? I do not want to use loose the catalog structure and edit info.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.

Look in the folder that contains your catalog and see if there is a .lock file present. If so, delete it and try again.

Lightroom CC does not work

I installed Lightroom CC via creative cloud. The system says it is installed allright.
But when I click the new icon, Lightroom just does not start.
I then removed Lightroom and reinstalled it.
This did not help. Lightroom CC just would not start up.
All other updates (Bridge, Photoshop CC 2014) worked allright.
Thanks for your help.

My imac does not start anymore (stops at the screen with the apple and a rotating circle). An idea what I could try to make it start again?

My Imac does not start anymore.
==> What I have already done:
1) I tried with the tigger dvd to reinstall. It didn't succeed.
2) Via the single mode, when starting I got the message "disk0s2: I/0 error" several times. After that I got "Root device is mounted read-only"
3) Nevertheless, I tried the "fsck -yf" function. After checking "Journal HFS Plus volume", "extends overflow file", "catalog file"... and invalid record count
==> /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
Can someone advices me? I red on the internet I could reformat the disk... loosing all the data I didn't backed up. How am I suppose to reformat?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Reset the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
Restart the computer while holding down your mouse button which if you hold it down long enough (5 minutes at most) should eject the disk
If the disk still doesn't come out at that point then you need hardware evaluation;
contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.

HT1751 imac does not start becouse cd i burn fast need help

imac does not start becouse cd i burn fast need help

andres:
Running Repair Disk from your install disk as suggested by neuroanatomist is the best first step. I have outlined the procedure in detail below, with suggestions for what to do if DU reports errors it cannot repair:
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
What’s a kernel panic may help you identify the black screen you saw earlier. If it does, post back and let us know.
Good luck.

My Imac does not start and make a terrible noise like an alert.

Please help me, my Imac does not start and make a terrible noise like an alert when try to start ,the Imac keep a grey screen when try to start and keep there.

Sounds like it is time to take it to an Apple Store or AASP to be serviced. You can also try troubleshooting using Apple's Gray screen appears during startup instructions.

My iMac does not start.

My iMac does not start. When I turn it on, it stays loading in the half and doesn't continue. Some days before I had updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10. Everything was ok but yesterday I decided tu reboot it and when it was turning on this happened, it kept stuck at the middle of the bar. I have the latest model of MacBook Air '13.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
