Reinstall Lightroom 2.6 Update over Beta?

If I already installed the beta version of LR2.6 should I also install the final version now that it has been released?

Probably not. On Macs, LR just plunks down another copy, and you'll need to delete (or not ) the previous one(s). Until you're satisfied with the new one, it's probably a good idea to keep the old one in reserve.

ITunes is restarting when I quit the program, fully updated version with windows 7. Not running any addons at all and has just started doing it. Not to keen on reinstalling windows as I have over 2500 albums and it does not remember them all correctly.

Hi guys,
I have been using iTunes for years with no issues but this month I have the program restarting when I exit. I have no addons at all, and nothing has changed at all. I downloaded a few podcasts but deleted them now I have this issue.
Not to keen on reinstalling iTunes as I have over 2500 full albums with a large amount of them covers that I have had to add manually. Also there are some track names / title name issues with my rare audio books that I have bought from overseas.
Any help would be great!
Thanks all,
Maximus

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

Flash and Silverlight don't work at all in Beta 34.0, when Internet Explorer properly works with these; happened immediately with update to Beta 34.0.

Hello!
Immediately upon updating to Beta 34.0, Silverlight and Flash, completely stopped working in Firefox. I am running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2.
They work fine in Internet Explorer.
This happens in any website I go to.
For example, I can go to Youtube, and the page will show a black box where the video should be, but there are no play controls, or any way to enable the video. Clicking within the black box does nothing.
On the music play site, Grooveshark, the site does not recognize Flash as being installed at all. (If you don't have Flash installed, this site pops up a message every time. Grooveshark correctly recognizes that Internet Explorer has Flash installed.)
I updated the Flash plugin to the current version, which also did nothing.
I have not reinstalled Firefox, or done a System Restore, yet.
I just bought a new computer that I was going to migrate to, and retire this computer, so I was not going to do heroic efforts to fix this. I was reporting this more on the order of a bug report.
Thanks.
Karl

This happened to me as well with Windows 7 32 bit (which I did as as upgrade from Vista Home Premium - if that might foul things up a bit) and affects Firefox 34.1 and IE. I did a system restore which took me back to Firefox 33 and Flash was fine. Later in the day Firefox updated back to 34.1 and I lost Flash again.

How do I reinstall Lightroom and safely import library and preview data from an older computer?

Since buying a new MacBook Pro back in February 2014, I have had non-stop issues using Lightroom. This is particularly frustrating considering I bought a new laptop specifically to improve my experience with Lightroom. The experience thus far has been anything but. The program freezes every time I try and 'right click' on an item, which means I have no way of reconnecting files or folders that are on external hard drives. It also crashes regularly when I try and open the program. I believe this may have something to do with how I moved files over from one computer to another. I have a growing suspicion that my libraries are corrupt.
It's now been 6 months, and I've uploaded quite a few new folders since then. However, I am ready to give all the last 6 months work away and start with a 2013 backup to ensure Lightroom runs smoothly. I've moved all current library information onto an external hard drive, and deleted the folder from my laptop. I've also tried to delete and reinstall Lightroom, but the program immediately crashes when I try to start it up again.
All this is to say I need some serious help getting Lightroom back up and running on my laptop, pulling in old data from my other laptop properly and bringing Lightroom back up to life on my new laptop. Any assistance or hand holding would be immeasurably appreciated.

It should work. Make sure you are installing the same version. If you continue to have a problem try contacting Adobe Support thru chat:

Should I reinstall Lightroom and if so, how do I not lose my work?

I have Windows 8 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on my desktop. Every since I did the last update, Lightroom has been acting really weird. I often get a "Lightroom Not Responding" message, or it will take for ever to do something like move from library to develop module. I have been going through and deleting files and have moved folders with in Lightroom, but I would think that should not be an issue. This has been going on for about a month now after the last update. Yesterday I moved my pictures from my desktop to an external drive through lightroom and then did a catalog backup.. Later in the day after a photo shoot, I tried to import pictures, to that external drive and it just stopped in the middle of the process. I checked to see if the pictures were in the designated folder and they were. So I closed Lightroom and opened it again 6 pictures had a white box with lines through them taking up the bottom quarter of the picture. If I look at these pictures through another program, they appear fine. Should I reinstall Lightroom? If so, how do I save my work? Could my catalog (which I have backed up) be corrupt?
I have more work to be done, but I don't want to proceed if I am working with an unstable program.

Uninstalling LR does not delete the catalog which is in an entirely different place, not the Programs folder. I am not saying that removing and reinstalling LR will solve your problem, but you don't need to worry about losing your work. If you reinstall, the first time you launch LR it may create a new empty catalog. Just use File/Open Recent to open your old catalog.

How to reinstall lightroom 4 after hard drive crash

My hard drive recently crashed and I have an all new one now. My comp is running Mavericks and I need to reinstall Lightroom 4 (that was the latest version I was using, and I downloaded it, no cd). How do I reinstall it?? When I go to "My Orders," the download option is not available.

I believe this might of worked after all. I did like you said and double clicked on the My Catalog file. PSA and it just put in the timeline and dates on the pictures but had a ? mark and no picture. I then chose to dowload files from the My pictures folder that the downloader was directed to for each download. It seems to restoring the photo's and putting them with the tags and all. I am so relieved because I had 37,500 pictures that would of been untagged and out of order. I learned my lesson to do a backup more frequently! Thanks for your help. If I would want to update to PSE 9 is it compatible with windows XP?

Creative Cloud Lightroom unable to update from 4.3 to 4.4

I am currently on a Mac and my Adobe Creative Cloud Application Manager (AAM) is having some issues.
I ran the update this morning when I heard that camera raw had been updated. The updated completely successfully for camera raw.
AAM is showing that my current version of Lightroom is 4.4. When launching the Lightroom application it is still showing that it is 4.3 and that the update for 4.4 is available. I checked the application manager in OSX and it shows that the current version is indeed still 4.3.
Since I am using creative cloud and not stand alone products, I thought that the AAM would update my programs and why is the AAM not updating my Lightroom from 4.3 to 4.4. Is it because camera raw updated and it is erroneously reporting that Lightroom has been updated?
I have never used a beta or RC version of lightroom on this computer, only final products and updates that have been provided with creative cloud.
Is Lightroom a program that you have to manually update outside of creative cloud application manager? That doesn't make sense to me since it is one of the programs included with the subscription and was installed with the application manager.
My hopes are that I'm not the only one having this issue and by posting this Adobe becomes aware of this.

Yes, same issue here. It is a bit annoying that Adobe has not integrated LR fully to their Creative Cloud package. I would have really hoped that the AAM would be the hub for installing and updating all Creative Cloud applications. The new Camera Raw update for Photoshop works ok from AAM.
And I have a faint memory of having recognition problems when LR was installed outside AAM...
It would be nice if someone from Adobe could report the official update procedures - even if it would mean doing a manual update outside the AAM. It seems to be next to impossible to find any documentation on this anywhere.

Lightroom 2.6 update-All palettes on left side of screen gone!

I was just wondering
if anyone else had this same problem with the new lightroom 2.6 update. I installed the
2.6 update and everything
works as it should except for this issue....When you go into the develop module all of the
palettes(navigator/catalog/folders/collections) on the left hand side of the screen are not there. When you go to click on the arrow to make them reappear the entire computer locks up. All you see is the lightroom screen but the mouse and keyboard will not work and the only option is to shutdown and restart. My computer is virus free...the graphics card has been updated. Im running lightroom on a 64 bit windows vista machine with a four core processor. This issue started with the 2.6 update. I even reinstalled the update using the repair function and the same issue is happening. Could this possibly be a corrupted install. Any help would be most helpfull.

It's cack - but then, I've never been a fan of images that look like the subject matter has just been hit by a nuclear detonation, and I've never aspired to "one click and done".
It used to come with Bibble/Aftershot Pro, and in all the years I used those converters, I didn't find a use for Perfectly Clear once. Admittedly they've expanded its function considerably since, but it's still a gimmicky "everything boosted to eleven" gadget.
Put it this way: Ken Rockwell's a fan!
All that said, it's probably better than Lr's "auto" functions. I suppose if you believe that a piece of software can guess what's best for an image better than what you can arrive at by using your own eyes, it might have merit, but "gimmick" sums it up for me.

I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop

I am running OS X Yosemite on my four year old MacBook Pro which has become progressively slower and is loaded with applications I no longer use. I plan to start afresh by formatting a new 1TB SSD as a boot disk and reinstalling Lightroom 5 and PhotoShop CC.
Is there a list of the files and/or folders that contain Settings and Preferences which can be copied from the old system to the new?

with your cc apps you should try to use the sync feature. that's never worked consistently for me, but when it does work, it's helpful.
there are preference folders and presets and settings that you could copy but you're better off installing fresh because a common problem for people with adobe program issues is a settings issue.

Lightroom 5.5 update unusable:( I downloaded the 5.5 (not CC) update yesterday

Lightroom 5.5 update unusable:( I downloaded the 5.5 (not CC) update yesterday on my PC and now most functions are EXTREMELY slow to the point of making Lightroom unusable. It takes several minutes and appears to freeze when cropping an image, an export of a single image takes several minutes, and every click or action of any sort takes 10-20 seconds to respond. I didn't have any problems with the 5.4 version and would like to go back to that. My questions are: 1. How do I get back to 5.4? (do I just uninstall 5.5 and reinstall 5.4? and in that order?) 2. Will going backward mess up my catalog? Will I lose all of the work I've done since my last backup? (sadly, last week...arg!) 3. I also updated CS6 Camera RAW...if I go back to LR5.4 do I also need to go backward in Photoshop updates?
I've got 3 projects that require Lightroom and need to get done (like yesterday!), so any help you can provide would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Just re-install Lightroom 5.4; you lose nothing.
You do need to make regular backups (weekly or more frequently) regardless of this issue.

Lightroom 1.1 Update

The Lightroom 1.1 update will be available from Adobe.com later this week. I apologize for the confusion for those that are patiently awaiting this release, but during the course of delivery testing, the update was publicly available through the Adobe.com store for a short period of time this evening.(Monday, 6/25)
The update has been removed from the Adobe.com store and will be re-posted once all of the testing has been completed internally.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and we're looking forward to making the final delivery towards the end of the week.

> What's hard about typing David?
You shouldn't HAVE to type anything, its a waste of time.
Imagine... I know I have a picture of Joe, Sarah, Corey, and Zoe in Chicago... but maybe I didn't add a keyword or two from that list, I don't remember.
I could take the time to type ALL 5 keywords (DONT MISSPELL), or I could just ctl-click the keywords from the list (or better yet a small checkbox next to each, that way I could interactively toggle one keyword off, and turn another on.)
Not to mention, if I have a FOLDER called Chicago, I get ALL those pictures too...
The way it works in Elements just blows people away when they see it.
I remember telling people I wanted to show them an image, and they'd sigh figuring it would take awhile to find it... they'd be amazed when I could call it up in seconds with no typing... and they'd inevitably ask to see pictures with different combinations of keywords, and their faces would light up, especially if they were in the image. That doesn't happen with Lightroom.

Reinstalling Lightroom 5 from the Creative Cloud

Assistance required. I have had to delete the previously installed Lightroom 5 Creative Cloud app. however the download app tells me that Lightroom 5 is still installed . Tried restarting the computer to no avail. How do I reinstall Lightroom 5 from my Creative Cloud membership??

I had the same problem where Lightroom 5 would not reinstall from Creative Cloud.
I used the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
I also followed all four steps under "When you open the Creative Cloud desktop application, programs are listed as up-to-date even though they are not installed", which included "removing all installed Adobe Creative software. Once all Adobe Creative software has been removed, use the CS Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal". Still the Creative Cloud desktop application listed Lightroom 5 as up-to-date.
The it occurred to me that I have an external hard drive that I use to keep a backup of my primary drive that is on at all times. I ejected the external drive, signed out and back into Creative Cloud and bingo! the Creative Cloud desktop application allowed me to reinstall Lightroom 5. I did have to keep the external hard drive disconnected through the entire reinstall process, because when I reconnected it during the download of Lightroom 5 it again installed on my external hard drive. So I had to disconnect again, sign out and back into CC and reinstall before connecting my external hard drive again.
My problems began when I upgraded Lightroom 5 to v5.5. It seems as thought v5.5 was installed on my external hard drive, even though v5 was clearly on my primary drive (I know, because I saw the app there).
So I offer this as a possible solution to anyone still having this problem.
In my case I have a Mac running Version 10.9: "Mavericks". The backup program I use, ChronoSync, is configured to maintain an identical image that I can actually boot from in case of a primary hard drive failure.
Question: Is there a way to direct CC to install LR 5 and all other products on my primary hard drive? I see this in the forum which implies I can't. Of course in my case it is apparently confused over what my local drive is, so disregarding my preference is not working.
Why can't I install Lightroom to a custom location through the Creative Cloud?
Lightroom must be installed to your local drive and can't be installed to custom location like other Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom always installs to the default location and disregards any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is as designed.

I'm having my computer reimaged today. How do I reinstall Lightroom 5.7 if I purchased it online?

The serial number-licensed LR 5.7.1 is available for download, here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Or the cloud-licensed LR is available once you install the cloud app, again: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html
