Lightroom Won't open after repeated tries

I am unable to open Lightroom and get the following message each time:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its previous cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches."
It does not fix it the next time and I am unable to open Lightroom. Please help!

Good afternoon Jim. I had the same problem:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its previous cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches."
Thank you very much for your recommendation. It worked great!

    The apple work file won't open and I get a flag asking if I want to report the problem.

  • FCP won't open after I tried to install trial software

    I downloaded a trial copy of master perfection suite and another Bias product just to check it out. Now Final Cut Pro won't open - it brings up a box that gives me the option to authorize, continue etc, but when i do anything, the box just appears again. I have to Force Quit FCP since everything's grayed out. I've trashed prefs, repaired permissions, restarted but it hasn't helped.

    Come on, you've been on the board long enough, You should know better. When you have a stable OS/Application combo, clone your startup drive. This way you can quickly restore your system to it's previous state.<<<</div>
    Actually, I didn't know this. I'll have to look into how to do this.
    I called Bias tech support - they were great. The suggestion to remove the files from the plugin folder was close - there was a 'components' folder in there as well that needed to go. Once that was removed, I restarted and FCP opened without a problem.

  • Lightroom won't open on my mac

    I am attempting to activate Lightroom on a mac. I've used it on this computer in the past and it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the file and installed the product again. The installation went through, but Lightroom won't open. I tried deactivating the product before deleting, but there was no option. What am I missing?

    What happens when you try to open Lightroom?
    What is the error message?
    What version of Lightroom?
    What operating system?

  • ITunes won't open after installing update.

    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

    hello Nevada!
    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes
    won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't
    open.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it
    say?
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if
    so, could you let us know the results of the
    following observations?
    reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes
    Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
    so, does it persist in there, or does it disappear
    after a few seconds?
    love, b
    b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
    i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
    like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
    the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
    once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
    i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
    thanks in advance for your help.

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

  • My illustrator won't open after I install

    my illustrator won't open after I install

    menya,
    I believe you may as well go straight to 6) on the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Loaded 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open

    loaded Lightroom 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open?

    I just upgraded to 5.7.1 and get the same on OS X 10.10.1. The messages is
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 cannot be opened because of a problem.
    I tried deleting Lightroom and reinstalling, just the same.
    I tried deleting the preference file in $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist
    again crashes just the same, and Lightroom crashes before recreating the file.
    Tried a reboot. No joy.

  • IPhoto won't open after reinstalling

    iPhoto won't open after installing "bundled software only" from the Leopard cd. The thing is that I already had everything installed , I installed the bundled software thinking that it would install the bootcamp in my mac (I know , I'm stupid...It is because I never had a mac..
    What shoud I do?
    PS: other program are not working either , iWork and Garage Band.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Applications won't open after software update

    after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • IPhoto won't open after iLife update

    iPhoto won't open after iLife update.  How get iPhoto to funtion again?

    What version of iPhoto? What happens when you try?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System.

    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • IPhoto won't open after crashing in edit screen

    MacBook Pro v. 10.5.8
    iPhoto v. 8.1.2
    I was flipping through photos and editing them with the crop feature selected. I pressed the arrow key to go to the next photo (still in edit screen) when iPhoto crashed. The wheel kept turning and it was frozen. I did Force Quit, and since then the program won't open. I tried reinstalling 8.1.2 again--still no luck.
    I don't know what parts of the error message would be helpful, but here's the first bit:
    Date/Time:

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5   the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
    Thanks,
    joe

    Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.
