LR 5.3 has stopped functioning. Message Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's previous cache and needs to Quit. Re boot comes backtio the same message how do I get the software back?

Thanks, it makes sense but I am a little worried about the files that are coming up for lr catalog. In order to process today's photos I opened a new catalog and that went well -- up to Smugmug and out to the client. but the only other file with today's (date which is when I had the problem -- power failure while I was importing) -- is not a previews file but in fact the corrupt lr.cat.
the rest listed including previews are dated 2012. Am I not looking in the proper place.
Thanks for your help
Bill

When backing up lightroom 4 catalog, get message "lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" this occurs during optimization stage of backup

i upgraded from lightroom 4 to lightroom 5 and installed it on a separate hard drive. Initially had no problems util my computer crashed due to the failure of the drive on which Lightroom 5 was installed. Since having my computer rectified, i am unable to use lightroom 5 getting the message "lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"
I can still use lightroom 4, however, i get the same message when i try to backup the catalog. This occurs during the optimisation phase of backup.
I suspect it is related to Lightroom 5 creating a catalog from the Lightroom 4 files and cannot now locate those files or that they have been corrupted.
Would appreciate any solutions / suggestions.

You need to delete your preview cache and have Lightroom rebuild it. Cache location can be found here.

It says thes everytime I try to open Lightroom and then quits the program.
Help please--thanks

Using your system browser, go to your catalog folder and look for a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. You will have the same name as your catalog but with the different extension. DO NOT make the mistake and delete your catalog. After you delete that folder Lightroom should start and will begin building a new previews folder.

Hi, Have a look under the "MORE LIKE THIS" on the right there should be an answer in one of those threads.

When I try to open my Lightroom 5 program it comes up with this message, "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit." How do I fix this?

Can someone please let me know how I can fix this error and open my Lightroom? Thanks.

You might be quicker help posting in the LR forum rather than the ACR forum, but I believe the way to fix this is to delete the preview cache.
Find your catalog folder.
Close LR.
Within the catalog folder, delete the FOLDER called Catalog-Name Previews.lrdata
Start LR.

Can you try to rename (not delete!) the folder named "YOUR_CATALOG_NAME Previews.lrdata" and restart Lightroom?

Lightroom keeps crashing upon opening. Here is the message: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quite. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches."

I have deleted the LRdata file (I had two!!!) as suggested on this site. Still crashing!

I had the same problem after my computer crashed (maybe due to lightroom, but I'm not sure). The only solution I found was to delete previews.db and root-pixels files. They are located in the Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata subfolder of your catalog (it depends on its name). It's not very damageable, since you keep all the previews previously generated (located in every subfolders).

When I turn on Lightroom 5, it gives the message"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit."

What is wrong? What should I do?

Using your system browser, open your Lightroom catalog folder. There will be a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder, and then you can start Lightroom again and Lightroom will begin building a new previews folder.

Error message: Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Error not corrected on restart. Problem occured when computer shut down unexpectedly.

Any help with easy to understand directions would be greatly appreciated. So far I have not been able to understand forum threads.
Thank you!

Locate and rename the Previews Cache folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata by adding a .old to the extension (Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.OLD).

I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1. When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "

Every time I relaunch I get the same message. I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT
