Lightroom slideshow crashes on iMac 5k

I have had the new iMac 5k for two weeks now, and experience a problem with the Slideshow module crashing consistently when playing horizontal images from Nikon D800E / D810. Horizontal Olympus EM-1 images are fine. Any vertical oriented images too.
On my older 2010 iMac 27 the Slideshow module play the same images without any problems. I hoped the 5.7 upgrade would fix this, but it didn't.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

I was chat with Adobe tech support for 1 hour 36 minutes complaining of the same issue, slide show crashes Lightroom. I too am running on a new IMac Retna. This sounded like the first time the tech rep heard of the problem. He was going to talk to his supervisor and get back with me. He saw the crash log and also saw the slide show crash LR. He took control of my computer and ran the program. So they hopefully are working on the issue. I also have a Macbook pro and the same photos will run fine on it. It is running LR version 5.2 camera raw 8.2. The error report is many pages long.

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.

Lightroom 5 crashes every time I exit a slideshow. What can I do about it?

Lightroom 5 crashes whenever I exit from a slideshow. I've tried using raw files, jpgs and pdfs, but it still crashes every time. I've tried using just a few slides, but it still happens. It's most frustrating and I found myself searching for free slideshow software so that I can have something that works properly, but why should I have to do that? Everything else in Lightroom works perfectly. Can anyone help?

I have this problem, too.
Has anyone come up with a solution?

Lightroom constantly crashes whenever I try to use develop, print, slideshow!

This is driving me insane. I desperately want to use lightroom but outside of the library functions and the quick develop tools, I can't get into anything else. I can import images fine but when I try to click from the library mode to develop, sideshow or print, lightroom completely crashes and becomes a non-responding program. Whats even worse, is that windows explore (not the internet browswer, the actual platform) would also freeze after I ctrl-alt-deleted lightroom and I'd have to restart my entire system.
I've installed lightroom twice thinking it was just a bad install and am running version 1.3.01, I think it is (I have the most recent update installed since I thought maybe that would cure it). I even installed another GB of ram into my PC thinking that would help but now even with 3 GB of ram in my system lightroom still crashes although explorer seems stable.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so had any luck fixing it? It's driving me insane!
Thanks guys!~
Joshua

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 ?

IDVD slideshows crash Mac DVD Player

So, I created my movie in iMovie, exported it to iDVD 8, and then I added two slideshows.
One slideshow has 110 pictures and the other slideshow has about 12 pictures.
Both slideshows play perfectly in iDVD preview mode and on my Panasonic DVD player.
But, when I try to play either slideshow on my MacBook Pro, both slideshows crash the Mac DVD Player.
I'm very frustrated with this. You would think that a DVD I create on my Mac can at least play on my Mac!
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

It's nice to know that someone is seeing a similar problem...misery
loves company!
I've been creating slideshows in iDVD by dragging and dropping pictures
from iphoto, and the slideshows work great in the iDVD preview, on
my Panasonic DVD player, and my Playstation 2. But, the DVD crashes
the Mac DVD Player EVERY time. I've have problems with the DVD Player
in previous release, so this wouldn't surprise me. But, it would be nice
if the player worked with DVDs created by Apple's own software.

Hi there, I've just installed iLife 08 on my iMac 20" 2.16, OS 10.4.10 with all
the updates through software update and I get the same problem before even
burning a disc! Any slideshow exported to iDVD from iPhoto makes the programme
bug out when you use the iDVD preview. Same photos dragged into iDVD to make the
slideshow there work fine. Also tried exporting quicktime from iPhoto and
importing into iDVD that way - also causes the crash (I don't even get a 'quit
unexpectedly' message) - there's obviously some problem with quicktime.

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

How do I export an iPhoto slideshow from my iMac to my iBook?

How do I export an iPhoto slideshow from my iMac to my iBook?

For the slideshow in the form of an Quicktime movie just export the slideshow via the export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window
and select the size to be created
If you want to have the slideshow in your iBook's iPhoto Library as it is in your iMac's library you'll need to copy the entire library from your iMac to your iBook.
A 3rd option is to export the photos used in the slideshow to a folder on the Desktop, copy that folder to the iBook, import into the iBooks library and recreate the slideshow.

Embed Lightroom Slideshow in Activerain Blog

I've been trying (in vain) to embed a Lightroom slideshow into my activerain blog here:
http://activerain.com/blogsview/658980/Homes-Near-Peterson-and
The slideshow should be in that big blank white space near the bottom of the post. I'm hosting the slideshow files on another site (where I've uploaded the crossdomain.xml file on the main root allowing flash access as well as ftping the files directly from Lightroom using the "Upload" function.) I can't for the life of me figure out the code I should be using to embed the slideshow into the blog. Iframes are callowed...and other blogs use slideshows as well (from slide.com, picasa, etc.)
Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!!

Sorry for the bump. Anyone with ideas? please??

Lightroom mobile crash on iPad

Lightroom mobile crash on ipad when synchronization starts. I had this problem a few months ago, I reinstalled LR.
I find it annoying to arrive with a working client presentation that crash, it does not serous at all!

Thanks!
Ignacio,
I'm testing the manipulation on my way home tonight, I do not have my iPad with me.
I do well refer to IOS app.
DdeGannes,
If I allow myself to work on this forum, it is because I have the CC Version!
I have a problem on my ipad, nothing to do with the Mac OS version.
I'll try the manipulation proposed by Ignacio, and you'll keep.

Lightroom Slideshow: output AVCHD files (Panasonic, Sony)?

Slideshow seems to have only two output formats: MP4 and .pdf. Panasonic flatscreens, for one, will not play these formats. They require AVCHD files. How can I get from Lightroom Slideshow to this format?

Thanks for your reply. What I meant was the workflow I have delveloped with the client to provide a quicktime file for their use on their end is what has been proven.
The whole reason I started this thread was hoping someone had a NEW WORKFLOW that would allow me to do this.
I have hundreds of clips I have produced for this client that utilze the Animation codec at 100% at a small fraction of the size. In fact I have one clip that is 46 minutes in duration 1920 X 1080 60 FPS using QT Animation codec at 100% and the file is 40 GB. The difference being the source files which were shot with a different camera in DVCPRO HD format.
So if what you're saying is I should expect an 8 minute clip to be 80 GB I'm a bit lost.
Anyway thanks for your reply hopefully someone has some helpful advise. I'm not here to argue with anyone or to be proven wrong, I'm just looking for help.
I'll continue to seach for other options. Thanks to all who have responded.

Lightroom Slideshow - long delay to generate all previews

Lightroom Slideshow - Is there a way for the slideshow to start after the first preview has been generated? Why do all the previews have to be delayed before the first is even shown?

Adobe had problems with overlapped slideshow (showing slideshow while previews generating) and decided to "punt" (generate all previews prior to starting the slideshow).
A step backwards to be sure.
But note: slideshow is using ordinary library previews, so if you are diligent to build after editing, then slideshows start faster.
Sorry, but it's not my fault .
