Out of the blue lighroom is saying 'error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit' every time i open it
help!
Delete all your previews, and the previews.db and rootpixels.db files, and preferably clear the acr cache.
Then select All Photographs, and go to library/previews and choose build all new standard previews. If you have a lot of images, do this overnight.

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.
There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

Can not launch lightroom says error when reading its preview cache
I can not launch Lightroom is puts up a error message that says it encountered an error when reading its preview cache and goes in to a loop that keeps closing the program
I have restarted my comp 4 times same this each time
I can't find any trouble shooting and when I try and download lightroom again it just puts me back at the creative cloud desktop which I can't click in anythingYou need to delete the preview cache. LR will automatically create new previews.
Read here and here are the locations. Don't touch the *.lrcat file. -

I was wondering now that I deleted my preview cache after receiving the lighgtroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit , light room 5 opened fine now , but I now have no previews showing up , all I get is blank gray boxes ... have I lost everything ?
how do I get the pictures or previews back ...all my folders I had catalogued , now show only grayed boxes where the previews were ... can I get this back ?I will check for the meta data.. as to hows this adobes fault....first let me ask do you work for or get paid for by adobe? If the answer is no, which i presume it is...then that answers it... how is it , or better yet why is it a billion dollar company, has or offers no support, no phone number, no email nothing...but depend on third party people who may or may not know or give the correct info to help, and do this free, all the while adobe makes $$$ and runs smaller companies that may have actually better products by getting or buying off reviews etc..that only rave, but never mention issues...the issue im having has been reported by adobe users since version 1, yet has not been addressed or even mentioned...why shouldusers get little true support from adobe, get a product that has un addressed issues is messed up...it would be like ford making newer vehicles say a f150, advertising all the bells and whistles , but knowing since their 2008 model that if you go over 70 mph for more than 100 miles the engine will just shut off, then have know way to contact them to solve the problem...had no mechanics to fix it...no warranty...that would be insane...but yet companies like adobe and microsoft do this all the time, but since its notlife threatening as driving a truck would be somehow we accept it as ok....yet it sickens me the hardearned money spent on their products, its an investment, like whether or not to go canon or nikon..your investing in the company its not easy to switch once you make that intial choice... adobe and microsoft continously advertise all the so called (al beit meaningless) upgrades or improvents which are more fluff than worth while improvent, but the way they present them you feel you need them...if they went back to the true ethics of buisness and american pride they would focus moe money and attention to customer service, and truly improving the product rather than how to sell more...but then they know like my camera example once you choose your theirs...sad...i had an adobe salesman out right lie to me and misrepresented a product, as i was having an issue getting sound to work in creating a video of my granddaughters birth...i was using an older version, told him all the info , he said if i upgraded i would have no trouble, so i did...the sound still didnt work . Then they suggested another program to convert the files more money down...the other company also makes video editing programs, once that work...and cost less...but i am all tied up in adobe spending hundreds all ready...sad ...very sad...now that ive had some issues and have gone back and done more researching i see all tge issues, many go back 10 plus years and have yet to be addressed...yet many otherless known third party companies had similar issues, corrected them , are cheaper, have support teams but arent pushed in every photo magazine etc...and arent known where giants like Adobe that dont address there issues have or offer no Adobe paid support, yet through their money and muscle to dominate magazines, and web, by controlling how things are precieved....sad in deed...the more i learn, and experience the sadder things are....but enough complaining sadily im invested in adobe for now till i get rich, just want the crap to work...so i can get my cherished pictures , once in a lifetime pics of my granddaughter back...to bad people have to place faith in a company and risk loosing all the pictures that mean something to them,and realize the comoany only truly cares about $$$...sad

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. "
"Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
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.

"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it lauches". What do I do? I get the msg each time I try to open it.
It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message. Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening. How do it fix this?
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

Every time I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!
Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

Lightroom 4.4 keeps crashing saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" please help. I've tried reinstalling it and everything Windows 8.1
I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???
Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

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

You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom. -
