Unable to update Lightroom 2.0 to 2.2

I am using Mac OS X vs. 10.5.6 and have Lightroom 2.0 installed. I downloaded vs. 2.2 from Adobe and clicked through the installation process until it told me that the installation is complete. The icon on the desktop depicts the Lr in a gray square with a disk over it. Clicking on it just takes me through the installation process again and Lightroom 2.0 has not been updated. How can I fix it?

Did you check in your Application folder to see what is there? Usually a new version of LR is added in rather than "updating" your existing LR. I rename each LR with the version number after it is installed. I have many versions of LR available (betas and the various upgrades) and can run different ones if I choose. In your Applications folder you can check info (Cmd I) on the various ones you have to see which is which if you need to. Once you launch LR, click on the icon in the dock so you can tell the dock to keep the correct version in the dock. Then you can remove the older version from the dock, but it stays in the Application folder if you need it. That's why you rename them to keep them straight.

  • Creative Cloud Application Manager error/unable to update Lightroom

    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.

    Thanks for the reply. 
    To clarify for the community and to make sure I understand you (Adobe Staffer) correctly you are saying right now the current fix action (update path) is for us to update the same way we were if this was a stand alone lightroom install outside of creative cloud and seperate from the Adobe Application Manager.  Which is downloading the 427MB file from the Adobe website and installing/updating?
    I just want to verify before I do this and it causes future conflicts with my subscription and future updates. 
    Thanks for the help.

  • Unable to update lightroom to 5.7  keeps telling me to reinstall 5.7 installer

    Also, we are updating out OS today.  Can I still install Lightroom on this new OS (since it's technically a different PC) ?  Don't want to have to purchase it all over again.
    Thank you.

    All you need to do is run the installer and years the serial number that you already have. Try the installation after you have installed the new OS and see how things go.

  • Unable to update Lightroom 5.2 for WIN 7 - PC

    I recently bought Lightroom 5.2 (build 922700) and installed it on my Win 7 PC.
    Each time I use it I get the message saying New software for Lightroom is available.
    When I go to the site Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5  the only option seems to be to download the new program, which I do, but then it says there is an application error. It happens on both the laptop and desktop.
    Not sure what the problem is???

    Hope this works

  • OSX: Adobe Creative Cloud unable to update (stall at 50%)

    Hey experts,
    ever since signing up for Creative Cloud I have been unable to update any application as my regular user on OSX. After exchanging 23 emails with the Adobe support in 2013 I finally gave up and created a workaround in the hope that the Adobe developers would finally look into the issue and fix the bug. With the last update of Creative Cloud my workaround stopped working so I took time to do a complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud to see if the bug was finally fixed. It was not.
    The bug:
    -Installation of Creative Cloud and Photoshop, Lightroom etc. through the Creative Cloud app works.
    -Any try to update a CC applicaton (e. g. Photoshop CC 2014 results in the state "waiting" at 50%):
    -Trying to update through the menu of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 "Aktualisierungen"
    resulted in the following error message:
    Translation: "Update failed. Unable to apply updates. Adobe Application manager is already running. Close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates. etc."
    What I tried to resolve the problem:
    What did not work:
    -Complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud:
         -Uninstall of all Adobe applications
         -Ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool
         -Eliminated every single *[Aa]dobe*-folder on my disk including my profile.
         -Reboot
         -Re-installation using a fresh CC download.
    -The common 1st-level-support acts of desperation:
         -Rebooting
         -Checking the file system
         -Fixing permissions
    -The bug even survived 2 OSX system upgrades
    -Even tried to track down the bug myself which I gave up after having discovered the endless chain of Creative Cloud and AAM-Processes executing each other...
    What worked:
    -Installing updates as another OSX user. (Which is cumbersome and to be honest I am unwilling to create a new profile and redoing the settings of all installed (especially non-Adobe) applications because of an Adobe bug...)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    After updating from CC to new 2014 updates Lightroom would not go from 'Library' to 'Develop' - develop screen was greyed out showing the message 'Develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module.' Since my membership is fully up to date. I then uninstalled Lightroom 5 and then installed it again. Now when I try to open Lightroom 5 its LOGO flashes onto the screen and then 'crashes' in an instant. Please fix.

  • I am unable to update  apps on my iPhone 5.

    I am unable to update my apps on my iPhone 5. As I select the update button it asks for my password but the goes back to like it was. I have already rebooted a couple of times & even logged out & signed back into my iCloud, iTunes & App store. Nothing worked. But, I am still able to download new apps.
    Please tell me what can I do now to update my apps. All suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Can you explain a little more?  Is there a problem with your app store account?  If so, http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    If there is another reason, can you describe it?

  • Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

    Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    Error: 1013231 Unable to update database while in readonly mode for backup , how can i solve this problem ,plz can any one help on this
    Thanks

    Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
    Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
    alter database app.db end archive;

    Hi Atul,
    Thanks for the help.
    The Readonly error got resolved.
    But still the following error is displayed when I am loading data thru load rule.
    To Brief you up, I had done a database corrupt check using validate command because of the following error. The information map asks you to do the same since the other parameters are in the affirmative ie sufficient disk space, not using addsin, File is present.
    *Unable to Read Information From [C:\Hyperion\essbase\app\SMC\PL\PL-BS-LD.rul]*
    Unexpected Essbase error 1019003
    I used the VALIDATE <error.txt> command and found that the database is not corrupt.
    I also used the export command to see if everything goes well. That also works well.
    Note: I do not have any data in the Cube. I had cleared all data.
    Can you please help ?

  • Unable to update numbering schemes in define purchasing options

    Hi,
    We are unable to update the numbering scheme from manual to automatic in define purchasing options (Numbering Tab). Documentation says that you can update it, but it does not give any reason under what circumstances we would not be allowed to update the numbering schemes.

    Hi Sandeep,
    I am doing multi organisation implementation and only one ledger they do not require Inventory and Purchasing modules. Because of that i will not create any inventory organisation for that selected ledger.
    This ledger will have seperate responsibility for AP.
    Howver, my problem is when i am trying to complete the financial options, inventory organisation is mandatory for that responsability. Without inventory organisation i am unable to save the financial options.
    Please assist me how to overcome this issue.
    Thanks,

    I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.
