Problem Loading Lightroom

Hello everyone,
Recently my installation of lightroom has stopped loading giving this error message:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with various different versions of lightroom. I have cleared the preferences and various other things in the library files, I have run all the various OS X cleaning tools, mended file permission etc.
The frustrating thing is that it used to work fine! I can't pin point a particular change that happened before it stopped working.
I have a MacMini 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3GB Ram OS X 10.7.5.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Although I used a Mac and OS X for several years I gave up on it for just these type of things happening out of the blue. No rhyme or reason for them.
The only option I found to cure some of the glitches with OS X was to wipe the drive and start over with a fresh install of the OS and programs and or restoring the system from a known Good backup made with either Time Machine or one of the Disk Cloning apps available for OS X.
You could try using Disk Utility to do a repair of permissions that is found on the First Aid tab. That sometimes fixed issues like this.
It seems OS X sometimes forgets disk/file permissions and lock them as system, read only or restricted files stopping apps from opening or you saving files to a specific location.

  • Can't load lightroom trial after upgrading from 5 to CC.

    I was half way through my lightroom 5 trial when I upgraded to lightroom CC. the application manager still comes up asking if I want to continue my trial, but when I click on that it doesn't load lightroom.
    I have completely uninstalled both versions (manually for 5, as per the instruction on the Adobe site) and with the uninstaller for CC, and then reinstalled lightroom CC, but still it won't load.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    OS x 10.10.3.
    Yes, lightroom cc (2015) is listed in the Creative cloud as installed.
    When I click on the app in the Creative cloud drop down the Lightroom app appears briefly in the dock, then the application manager appears and the lightroom icon disappears. After clicking the "continue trial" button in the application manager it closes and lightroom does not open.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but no change.

  • Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

    no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

    changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

  • I get problem loading page (error 404) it says the page cannot be found when i try to access the game Mobsters through my mysapce account and i cannot access it no longer through firefox and i want to find out why i cant, can you guys please help?

    i cant access my mobsters account through myspace. every time i try to access it i get "problem loading page" "this page cannot be found" "404 error" and it wont let me access it. myspace works fine but as soon as i click on the mobsters app i get the 404 error, this page cannot be found, problem loading page! can you please help?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i try to access mobsters game through myspace

    I dont understand the answer
    '''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''

  • A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

    When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • Problem loading data into write optimized dso.....

    Hi ,
    I am having problem loading the data from PSA to write optimised DSO
    I have changed the normal DSO into a Write Optimised DSO. I have 2 data sources to be loaded into the write optimized DSO. One for Demand and one for Inventory.
    The loading of Demand data from PSA to DSO happens fine with out any error.
    Now while loading the Inventory data from PSA to DSO , i get the below errors
    "Data Structures were changed. Start Transaction before hand"
    Execption CX_RS_FAILED Logged
    I have tried reactivating the DSO, Transformation, DTP and tried to load the data again to the write optimised DSO, but no luck, I get the above error message always.
    Can some one please suggest me what could be done to avoid the above error messages and load the data successfully.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Check the transformations is there any routines written.
    Check your Data struture of cube and DS as well.
    Is there any changes in structure.
    Data will load upto PSA normally, if is there any changes in struture of DSO, then the error may occur.just check it.

  • TS3212 Is anyone else having problems loading the newest version of iTunes (10.6.3) on Windows?

    Is anyone having problems loading the newest version of iTunes (10.6.3) using Windows Vista? My current iTunes program version 10.6.1 keeps telling me there is an update but when I try to load it the information box goes away and nothing happens.  I have tried downloading the new version from Apple web site but it brings up a warning screen of " iTunes setup.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer." I select the action of run anyway and get the next error "iTunes Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."  What Gives?

    I select the action of run anyway and get the next error "iTunes Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

  • . I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load my music videos to it. I have had no problem loading my music CD's but no go with the music videos I have. Please HELP. Thanks maxsdad

    Hello:
    I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load Music Videos to iTunes or the IPod. I have had no problem loading my CD's to iTunes and to the IPod, but no go on the Music Videos.
    Please Help
    maxsdad

    B-Rock:
    Ok. Here's the results. I tried all the music videos I wanted to put onto the IPod and the results were:
    I was able to get good results with 2 full length music videos and 2 video singles(only 2 videos on each disk). For a total of 4 videos.
    I was able to encode 5 full length music videos, but the results were distorted (video and audio).
    I was unable to copy 2 full length videos due to error failures. 1 was a "No Title Found" error, the other was a "NAVDAT" error.
    I guess my next question is: Do you know of any other program(s) that I might try, to see if I can get good results with the videos that didn't work with Handbrake?
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

    Hello,
    I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
    "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
    I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading sites, it tries to load to Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I stop this?

    Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
    I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
    eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
    This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
    Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
    I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'...

  • Cannot open grooveshark due to a supposed problem loading flash. (I have the latest version of both (Mozilla and Flash)

    Everything with firefox works ok except Grooveshark. An error message appears saying: We had problems loading flash, you might have any blocker etc etc.
    I don´t have any blocker and as a matter of fact i have the latest versions for both mozilla and flash. Neither version of flash test nor reinstallation process nor checking add ons or firewall settings solved my problem.
    Thanks for the attention. Regards

    To double-check your Flash permissions for the site, you can click the globe or padlock icon to the left of the address, click More Information, then click the Permissions tab. The "Activate Plugins" section would be the one to check.
    I understand you have checked your add-ons, but in case there is an unexpected interaction, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode just to confirm that extensions are not the problem? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    ''Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run''
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
