Lightroom will not start!

I just installed a trial version of Lightroom 4 for Mac today. But when I went to start it up, partways through the startup it stopped and a small window popped up that says: "This Beta version of Lightroom has expired. The application will now quit." What is going on?? I tried a couple more times to start it up again, but it just does the same thing. What is wrong with it, and can/how do I fix it??

It means what it says - it's an expired pre-release. Download the correct retail version from Adobe directly.

    Try it one more time - unless you have tried it already more than once.If the message appears again, you have to re-install LR.You can download the latest version from Adobe using your Serial key #.WW

  • Adobe Lightroom will not start or open

    Install lightroom.  Everytime I try to open lightroom I get the following error:
    Lightroom cannot create a catalog named "Ligthroom 3 Catalog" on a network volume"
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you in advance.

    The error message is telling you what is wrong from LR's point-of-view.  You have to use LR with a catalog on a locally attached hard-drive, not a network drive.  The catalog that LR is either automatically trying to open, or that you are selecting to be opened is on a network drive not a local drive.
    When you start LR for the first time, or if you press the Alt key while starting LR, you should have the option to create a new catalog.  Do this and make sure the catalog location you select is on a local drive and not a network drive.  The reason for this restriction is that LR's catalog file must not be accessed by more than one person at a time and having it on a network invites this complication.  LR is licensed for a single user at a time, not a multi-user network situation.
    If you have installed LR on a network-bootable workstation that has no locally-attached hard-drives then a possible option would be to attach a hard-drive via USB or Firewire and use that for the location of the catalog.  It would be slower than an internal drive, but if that's your only option, it is an option.  Of course if your workstation doesn't have a local drive and doesn’t' allow attaching drives via USB or Firewire or eSATA, then you're out of luck and need to try a different computer that has local storage available.

  • The new lightroom will not start up.

    I have been using Lightroom CC 5.7. I downloaded the new lightroom CC (2015) and installed using creative cloud. I have uninstalled and installed with no luck, including restarts.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I am using Window 7 64 bit.

    I went to the Photoshop Lightroom forum and found this solution.  It worked!

  • I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7.  can someone help me?

    I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle.  upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7.  just dead in the water. any help?

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

  • LR will not start

    Lightroom will not start.  Receive msg. that other program is using catalog, select other catalog.  No other program is open.  Receive same msg. in Safe mode and clean boot.  Tried creating another catalog and selecting it but continue to receive same error msg.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU!   I have to do some more checking on catalog location.  I saw the catalog filed somewhere else but it did not have the ".lock" file in it.  Appears I have the catalog stored in two different places.  Thanks for the ultra rapid response!

  • Lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
    I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
    If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
    Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

  • Just downloaded new Lightroom CC (2015) (i.e. Lightroom 6), and it will not start

    OK just downloaded Lightroom CC (2015) (aka Lightroom 6), Windows 7 laptop, and the program will not start.  I have Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5.x, etc, and all run a-okay, no need for admin start, etc.
    Side note - as is typical for Adobe installations on my systems, program installs do not place an icon on my desktop, requiring I go to the Adobe folder off Programs to find the EXE file, and "send to" desktop as a shortcut. 
    That issue aside, I located the Lightroom EXE file in the "Lightroom" folder (note it is not labeled Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6), and tried to start by double clicking - no response.  Then tried right clicking, run as admin, no response.  Uninstalled, reinstalled, tried same startup procedures, no response.  Rebooting does nothing to help either.
    Note Lightroom 5.7.1 starts up as normal.
    Help.....? I leave tomorrow on a photo trip and would like to use the new LR version.

    thanks for your reply. i'm not quiting the adobe cloud, i'm signing off then back in entering my email and my password.... tried to reboot, reinstall, sign off from the app and from the web also ... and did not fix the problem. this is very frustrating because i have no splash screen, no error message. There's some log files somewhere ?
    anyways the 5.7.1 is working fine, and i can work. thanks god, the CC thingy did not removed the old one and i can work and deliver the pictures tomorrow

  • Will Not Start New Library.

    LightRoom just will not start a new library.
    Now matter what.  It will not start a new library.

    John,
    You haven't given us near enough information to be able to answer your question.
    What OS are you on? Exactly what are you trying to do? How are you trying to do it? (In great detail.)
    And finally, tell us exactly what happens. Quote any error messages in full.

  • I have installed LR 6 for windows (win7) and LR will not start but hangs up

    I have installed LR 6 for windows (win7) and LR will not start but hangs up. I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it, Tried to open it as Administrator and it still hangs up with the Adobe banner (the picture) being displayed. Nothing happens. When I click on anything I get the message that Lightroom is not responding. I have asked to have a new catalog created for Lightroom 6............Please help.
    Thank you. Leo

    hbereth,,
    It is Ideal to install Creative Cloud app , if you are using Adobe apps.
    Creative Cloud is nothing but an updated version of Adobe Application manager. Adobe Application Manager is required for different purposes like Activation, Update.process and installation processes.etc
    Adobe application manager must be up to date , that brings to Creative Cloud application which is the updated version .
    No need to Sign in and all , just keep it install, if you are not okay with installing Creative Cloud app. it's okay , you can still have Adobe Application Manager only.

  • Lightroom will not download into my creative cloud!

    I just purchsed the subscription for Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Lightroom. Photoshop downloaded fine, but lightroom will not download at all!
    I was using the free trial of lightroom before I subscribed and it worked fine. I have already tried everything.
    It is supposed to download via creative cloud, correct?
    This is so frustrating.

    Mac os10 Mavericks /Safari
    What was happening for about an hour after signing uo to the Photoshop/Lightroom offer that after going to  https://creative.adobe.com/products, clicking on the Lightroom download then being taken to the Lightroom page with the big blue download buttton clicking on it did not start a download and Lr was not present in the creative cloud toolbar drop down. Both Photoshop and Bridge downloaded without issue.
    24 hours or so  later I tried again and this time Lr was present in the drop down and has now loaded.
