Lightroom Launches, then nothing

I've been using beta 4 for months, 10.4.7, then today I open Lightroom, but no window opens, nothing operable except for File/ About Lightroom. I tried opening with a new library, that didn't help. Downloaded a new Beta, still no action.
Also tried to open by opening a pic direct from the library/ open with, photoshop and Preview worked, not Lightroom.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your responses.
The permissions are fine.
I was making backups but I made a mistake and will simply say my mouse ate the most recent back up.
I chose Lightroom because I can save my Nikon raw files as DNG. As a result there were no sidecar files at import and I never understood the importance of generating them after the fact.
In my serch for documentation I bought the Scott Kelby book and the video by Michael Reichmann. In the book XMP sidecar files were not mentioned and I don't recall any mention in the video.
I will search the postings in these forums for more information.
I have looked at the Lightroom library in TextEdit and see where I made adjustments but I don't think I can do anything with the data.
So... I wait for V1.

    Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.  How can I trouble shoot this.  I have no idea why this is failing.  I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

    Harm, I followed your advice.  I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions.  Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software.  I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
    Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
    Thanks for your response.

  • Lightroom launches then immediately hangs

    Lightroom 3 succesfully loaded and succesfully used for past couple of wmonths. When launched last week the library page appeared just as I had left it but suddenly went'semi-transparent' and the machine hung. The error message was " Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working and windows is checking for a solution to the problem" No such solution is forthcoming. Have loaded version 3.2 with the same result. Loaded L3 onto my laptop and run in 32 bit and it works perfectly. Only software that might have been loaded between sessions was a HP printer driver which has since been uninstalled. Assistance very much appreciated. Aldso had initial problems with Adobe Premiere on the same computer but in those instances the programme could be re-starteed after re-booting the machine. That problem has now gone away.

    Hi Dorin,
    Thanks for response. Pref files deleted: still hangs. Created 2nd. catalog as you suggest but still hangs when that opened. Cannot now get opportunity to create another catalog via Ctrl+open software. Any other ideas? Should I just try and get a copy of lightroom 2?

    Hello, I recently downloaded a trial version of Lightroom and then decided to get the monthly photoshop membership.  Now, when I launch Lightroom, my choices are to enter a serial number to continue the trial.  On the adobe website, it says "You can convert your trial to a Creative Cloud complete or single-app membership by purchasing on the Creative Cloud website. After you purchase your membership, your desktop product trial will automatically be licensed upon relaunch."  But this is not the case.  I do not want to risk losing my catalog and the work I have already done in Lightroom, so what should I do?

  • After Lightroom 5.6 catalog backup, cannot open Lightroom (hour glass appears for a few seconds, then nothing happens)

    Cannot open Lightroom 5.6 after catalog backup (hour glass appears, then nothing happens)

    I found the solution to this from these thread Re: Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives? and Re: Photoshop CC Crashes/Closes within seconds of startup
    I did it and it works for me So, I think I should share this so people who have faced the same issue as I can give it a try.
    Basically, Just uninstall the Photoshop and Creative Cloud, then rename the folder SLCache to SLCache_old. Restart your computer once and then re-install everything again. (CC and PS)
    It should work.
    Thanks

  • HELP!  QT Icon bounces once, then nothing

    When I click on my QT icon in the task bar, it bounces once and then nothing happens. QT fails to load. Anyone ever experience this and what the **** can I do to fix it?
    Thanks!

    You may be able to repair this with the 10.4.2 Stand Alone Combo Update.
    This is a full install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    EDIT: First you might try re-installing QT

    You most likely ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    My MacBook Pro has died. How do I un-install my Lightroom, to then be able to re-install it on another Mac?

    Ned, I think you misunderstand me and the use of the term "honour system". I thought the last sentence in my post reinforced the first.
    The term is used elsewhere on the Adobe's forums but, at the end of the day, it's not my concept, it's Adobe's.
    Re: How can I deactivate LR 4.1?
    I'm not disagreeing with you. Perhaps it's just the terminology being used that's causing confusion. We've had this discussion before how many times can i install LR5?
    I agree with your post but there is no activation mechanism in Lightroom so there's no need to call Adobe to deactivate Lightroom.
    All I'm saying is that there is no technical limitation to installing Lightroom on more than two computers. It's effectively an honour system, just like Adobe software used to be pre- the activation mechanism which now polices the two activations limit.
    If users install Lightroom in more than two computers then they are in breach of the EULA.
    Agreed, clause 2.1.3 of the EULA permits a maximum of two installations at the same time. The Lightroom software does nothing to stop more. That's up to the user to abide by the EULA.
    This point is made in the Lightroom forum regularly.

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

  • When I launch ITunes nothing is happening

    Hello! In the last days this thing has started happening: When I launch Itunes, nothing is happening. I click several times, nothing is happening, but somehow, suddenly, after 10, maybe 15 minutes, it opens up. I have no clue why this is happening. I receive no error messages, it simply will not open.
    I use Windows Vista, ITuns 8.01... Hope someone can help me out on this one!

    If there is an option to "license this software", and it takes you to a sign-in page with username and password (not a serial number) - then just go ahead and sign in.
    If it insists on a serial number you need to uninstall the trial. Then try to download again.

  • "Installation will continue after reboot"... then nothing... help?

    I have a 1st generation intel imac, 20 inch, and have tried three times to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6 (SL). I have unplugged all accessories, and every time i go to upgrade, at about 1/5th of the way, i get a message saying that the installation will continue after the computer has restarted. It restarts... and then nothing. I have not seen this posted before, so if it has been, I apologize. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm curious about what (if anything) the installer log file says about setting the DVD as the startup disk. Would you mind launching Console, going into the /private/var/log section & clicking on install.log if it is there? Look for a line in the log near the beginning of the lines that start with the date & time of the install attempt that contains the text "Setting Startup Disk" (without quotes). Anything after that that indicates an error? Is there a line (or two) with the text "Bless on Mac OS X Install DVD succeeded" a few lines below that?
    Note that you can use the search box in Console to look for these text strings.

  • When I launch iWeb, nothing shows up on my screen

    When I launch iWeb, it seems to open but then nothing shows up on my screen.

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help close iWeb, open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photos Page menu option.  It could take a couple of tries if its going to work at all.

  • When I click on Compose in my gmail acct. I get the error #000. Then nothing works. Gmail info sent me to you.

    When I am in my gmail acct. and click on "Compose" the box comes up and I can type in it, but an error message #000 appears at the top. It says it will retry in "so many minutes" and never does. It just adds time. The retry button only adds to the time in the "so many minutes." You can type in the compose box but it will never send and then nothing else will work. I click on the inbox and it will not response and the same with the other buttons.
    My husband has an account, too and it doesn't do this. I can click compose, type, and send in his gmail acct.
