Hmm, that is more of a problem!
Ok, couple of initial things to try:
1.  Move the catalog to another drive, and try opening it from there.  It's a long shot...
2.  Create a new catalog and go to File menu > Import from Another Catalog.  Navigate to the problem catalog and try to import a small chunk at a time.

  • I am getting error message: Unexpected error opening catalog.  What should I do

    Lightroom started acting slightly strange, not displaying certain images in the folder I was working on, for example.  I shut it down, but when I tried to start it again, it would not open using my normal catalog, and I had the message, "Unexpected error opening catalog".  It does let me open a different catalog, however.  What can I do to get my catalog working again?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Unexpected error opening catalog after accidentally deleting and recovering catalog file

    I deleted my Lightroom folder by mistake. I have recovered the Lightroom 5 catalog .Ircat file using recovery software but when I try to open it I get the message "Unexpected error opening catalog". Please help!
    I have tried creating a new catalog and importing the .ircat file but I then get told that it is not a valid lightroom catalog.
    I have a lot of photo edits that I really need to recover, I hope someone can help.
    Kind regards, Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I just did the same thing.  What recovery software did you use?? Also, were you ever able to recover your pics?
    Thanks for your help x

  • Lightroom: LR4 won't open - Unexpected error opening catalog

    I cannot open LR4. I get an, "Unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error." This occurred after a WIN7 update failed.  It restored the system to an earlier version.  In doing so, it also reverted LR4.2 to LR4.1.  I have seen other threads to open a different catalog and/or create a new.  The problem is that once I go to "Choose a different catalog", I get the Windows screen where I can select my backup.  I select the backup catalog and click "Open".  The window goes away, but the underlying LR "Select a Catalog" window still only shows 1 catalog to open.....my original catalog.  The backup doesn't show up in the list.  (The backup is not a network drive and it is not read-protected.)
    I then try the "Create a new catalog", get the Windows screen, enter a new name and click "Save".  The same thing happens.  The Windows screen goes away and the LR "Select a Catalog" window still shows the orignal catalog in the list.  Thus, I cannot create nor choose a different catalog.  Am I doing something incorrectly?
    Thanks.

    Try right-clicking on the LR icon and selecting "run as administrator". This fixed the problem for me. I think the problem recurs every time Windows gets and update. You can also set LR to always run with admin privaleges on the properties window.

  • Lightroom 5.5 update - unexpected error opening catalog - help needed?

    Hi,
    I updated Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 (Windows 7). Now, unfortunately I cannot start the LR program at all. The message: "unexpected error opening catalog" pops up. And all the subsequent Options do not work. The Option "choose a Different Catalog" is useless, and the "try again" just as much. And "Exit" seems to work, but increases my frustration.
    Any suggestions?
    Andy

    I had the same issue - after installing Lightroom 5.6 (64 bit version, Windows 8.1) worked for a couple weeks, then I got the unexpected error message this morning. I was going to install a previous version, like 5.5, but it appears Adobe released 5.7 last week so I downloaded the new one and I'm up and running here now! Wish you the best.

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

    Did you just update the phone when this happened? Was the phone jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before it was updated?
    BTW, you cannot have iOS 6.1.4 on an iPhone 4; that version is only for the iPhone 5. Could this be your problem?

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

    I'm having exactly the same problem......I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.10.1. We have BT fibre optic business broadband. Everything has been running just fine until about 2 weeks ago when the apps in my CC panel just disappeared. I have made no changes to our systems and I am the only person to administer it all.....

  • HT204380 tried suggestions and still cant connect to facetime on ipad.  Worked well 2 days ago.

    I tried all the suggestions in the article using facetime and still cant connect to facetime on ipad2.  Worked well 2 days ago.  Any other suggestions? iPhone4s works fine and ipad2 works fine except the new problem logging in to facetime on the iPad2

    Thanks.  I also found a thread that suggested adding a DNS of 8.8.8.8 and that seems to have worked.

  • My ipad air is not turning on, when I plug it in it doesnt even show that is charging and I tried several chargers they all work fine, its just when off and pitch black help!!!

    my ipad air is not turning on, when I plug it in it doesn't even show that is charging and I tried several chargers they all work fine, its just when off and pitch black help!!!

    If the battery is very low, it can take 15 minutes or maybe even longer befor you will see any response at all on the screen. If you have let the iPad charge for what you think is a sufficient length of time and it still hasn't shown any signs of life, try a reset and see if that will force it to start up.
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo apperas on the screen and then let go of the buttons. If that still doesn't work, try charging the device again overnight. If it's still dean in the morning, try restoring the device with iTunes.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at an Apple Store and seek their guidance.
