My Lightroom 3 closed after trying to edit a photo and will not open again.  Help please!

My Lightroom 3 closed after editing a photo and will not open again.  It says Lightroom is not working and Windows is looking for a solution.  I am in a bind and need my Lightroom opened asap.  Please help!

In your operating system, go to the folder where your Lightroom catalog is stored and see if there is a file that ends with .lock
If so, delete it and then LR will open properly.

  • TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

    I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
    Thanks for your time and expertise,
    T.

    You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
    First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
    Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
    I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
    1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
    4 - My contact details
    /Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
    5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
    6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
    If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
    Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
    If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.

    I hope this helps.

  • After a power outage, Lightroom won't open.  It says the catalog is not writable and will not open

    How do I get lightroom to open?  It says the catalog is not writable and will not open?

    No, Jim.  I did not know where the backups were!  I've been researching this online, on here, and asking everyone I knew that used lightroom if they had any idea how I could get lightroom to open again. I checked out "permissions" too. Finally, I went to the lightroom folder which was in my PICTURES library and double clicked on "Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrdata" and Lightroom opened up.  I hadn't backed up the images since the 24th so all of those that were edited since then went back to being unedited.  I had already exported them to another folder so I don't have to do anything to those anyway.  Is this lrdata the backup?  I had a couple of people tell me to go to Lightroom and do this and do that, but I couldn't open Lightroom up to do anything at all!  After getting Lightroom back, I got the 5.5 update and everything seems to be back to normal.  I appreciate your help  AND your kindness to someone that hasn't got a clue about computers or how this software works.

  • K900 closed and will not open

    k900 closed and will not open I do not get any message when I connect the charger . In the same way there is no response from the phone to the computer bağladığımda problem. What should I do . turkey over the phone , no one has information about I would appreciate if you can help

    I started having the same problem after updating to IOS 8.3 on my IPhone 6.  Phone keeps shutting down and the only way to open again is to hold both the home and sleep button.  Being plugged into the charger makes no difference nor does the level of charge.  Has never happened until today after the update, just randomly shuts down while wearing it on my hip.  All apps seem to work fine while it is on.  I might need to return to IOS 8.2 if this continues to be an issue. Has not done it while in use yet.

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    HI,
    First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
    recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
    So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
    The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
    Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
    You are running Snow Leopard... read here.
