  • Lightroom encountered and error when reading from it preview cache and needs to quit

    A power outage caused my Lightroom 5.2 to shut down without closing.  When I powered back up and opened lightroom it gives me an error "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from it preview cache and needs to quit" and then it says it will try to fix it the next time it opens. I have opened it 20 times and it is not fixing it. I removed the program completely and upgraded to 5.5 AND it is still giving me the same error.  Is my catalog corrupt or something? I had it set to automatically load the most currently used catalog, so it is not allowing me to open or start a new catalog either. HELP!!!

    Search the forum, this has been answered many times.

  • When backing up lightroom 4 catalog, get message "lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" this occurs during optimization stage of backup

    i upgraded from lightroom 4 to lightroom 5 and installed it on a separate hard drive. Initially had no problems util my computer crashed due to the failure of the drive on which Lightroom 5 was installed. Since having my computer rectified, i am unable to use lightroom 5 getting the message "lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"
    I can still use lightroom 4, however, i get the same message when i try to backup the catalog. This occurs during the optimisation phase of backup.
    I suspect it is related to Lightroom 5 creating a catalog from the Lightroom 4 files and cannot now locate those files or that they have been corrupted.
    Would appreciate any solutions / suggestions.

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

  • Lightroom encountered an error

    Working in LR 3.6, Mac OS10.6.8, 8GB RAM, accessing from an external USB 2TB harddrive, and when opening an image I get the error:
    "Lightroom encountered an error when reading a catalogue file and needs to quit.
    "Lightroom will attempt to diagnose the problem the next time it launches."
    I've run "Optimize Catalogue" and that didn't relieve the problem. Also have deleted preference files and still no joy. I also have upgrade to LR4 in hopes that it will fix the problem and it didn't. So I've removed LR4 for the time being until I can figure this out in LR3.
    Here is a screen shot:

  • LRCC Error: Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.

    I just upgraded from LR 5.7.1 to LRCC a couple of days ago.  After working with a collection of images in Lightroom CC, this message popped up: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit."  What do I need to do to remedy this?  Thanks!

    Quit Lightroom
    Then trash the preview cache. It’s in the main catalog folder.
    Delete the folder with the ending Previews.lrdata
    The default location for the Lightroom folder is normally Pictures/My Pictures if you did a standard installation.
    Re-launch Lightroom after deleting the Previews folder.
    N.B. do not touch files ending .lrcat

  • Lightroom 3 crash after upgrading Lightroom 1 Catalog

    I installed Lightroom 3 and upgraded my Lightroom 1 catalog (21,000 photos). It runs through the upgrade process without any problems and opens Lightroom 3, where I can browse through a few screens of images.
    However, if I scroll past a certain point in my Grid view, Lightroom 3 stops rendering thumbnails. Double clicking on images fails to render a preview.  CPU usage at this point goes from 50% to 0.  At this point, Lightroom 3 becomes useless, though I can still scroll up and down, I only see empty grid thumbnail frames.
    If I quit the application, I get a beachball, for minutes on end before I force quit.
    Console reports the following:
    06/10/10 9:53:24 PM Adobe Lightroom 3[506] ServerProcess [AsyncDataServer( Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat )] ERROR SERVER<AsyncDataServer
    ( Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat )>: A command threw an exception.
    06/10/10 9:53:24 PM Adobe Lightroom 3[506] ServerProcess [AsyncDataServer( Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat )] ERROR Error: ?:0: attempt to

    06/10/10 9:53:24 PM Adobe Lightroom 3[506] Error initializing alternate universe. bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
    Deleting all Lightroom 3 prefs, plists, catalog, previews, rebooting and trying the process again results in exactly the same problem.
    I can still run Lightroom 1 fine. It has no problem with the Lightroom 1 catalog.  I tried optimizing the Lightroom 1 catalog before upgrading, but this
    did nothing.
    I'm running on a 2007 MacBookPro with 3GB RAM and a 7200 RPM 500GB drive under Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    The problem lies in 1 or more "corrupt" catalog entries from the old catalog. I had exactly the same problem going from LR2 to LR3 on a 2009 iMac running 10.6.4. I got the same console error messages and had exactly the same symptoms.
    However I discovered that I could start LR3 with a new empty library and then use "import from catalog" to selectively import some parts from my LR2 catalog. There are about 6k images in the LR2 catalog and some folders would work fine and others would fail. After a lot of trial and error I was able to isolate where LR3 would hang and give me problems. And the images that it had a problem with were 2 images from the old catalog that LR2 would not display. Instead LR2 would show a blank thumbnail where the "corrupt" catalog thumbnail should be and would not be able to display that image. For those images, LR2 gave the following console error message:
    10-07-01 8:58:48 AM Adobe Lightroom 2[2038] *** WARNING: Method selectRow:byExtendingSelection: in class AgNSOutlineView is deprecated. It will be removed in a future release and should no longer be used.
    10-07-01 9:02:04 AM Adobe Lightroom 2[2038] ?:0: attempt to perform arithmetic on field '?' (a nil value)
    Aside from not display the thumbnails and images for those two files, LR2 worked fine. When I unselected those two images from the "import from catalog" dialog, I was able to import the rest of my LR2 catalog into LR3 in one shot.
    If LR1 fails to display some thumbnails, you could manually note which those are and then use the same process I used. It is still tedious going through a large library looking for blank thumbnails. If LR1 displays all thumbnails correctly then you could try the brute force trial and error approach that I initially used but that is very time consuming.
    Hope this helps.

    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't open Lightroom.  Getting Error message:  Trying to open Lightroom.  Get ERROR message

    I can't open my Lightroom.  I keep on getting the message:
    Trying to open Lightroom.  Get ERROR message:
    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 launches.
    This has happened before. 
    I also can't get my Plug-ins (like Topaz and onOne) to work within Photoshop CC and Lightroom.
    Not the first time this has happened.
    Any suggestions?

    I apologize. I should've told you to delete the folder with the same name as your catalog. So you want to delete the folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading it's preview cache

    I been getting this error for over 2-3 months and thought it would go away with the new version releases, i tried all the standard fixes,deleting the catalog,compacting etc. even moving it to new folder, reinstalled the software twice.  The whole nine yards. IMHO, there's a problem with the software, it may be uique with differetent type of machine setup or a corrupt file in the in the catalog and the compacting doesn't fix it.
    The error always happens while in the develope and crashed, has to leave the software (sometimes it just hangs the software and you have to kill the task manually).  You have at least 10-15 seconds before going back in, otherwise it will still crash, a thread is still occuring from the orginal crash and still completing it's task. That's the error, annoying as heck.
    My only hoping is a new version of LR comes out soon (4.0) and it goes away, otherwise, I'm going to find something else-- driving me crazy, I spend about 10-15% of my time each week getting out and back in to make go away, then can go for a day(s) sometimes and no problems.  I tried recreating the problem on specific photos where I think it might be corrupt, that doesn't give any clue, there is no pattern to this at all, it happens randomly on new photos and old photos, yet i can go back to those photos again and no problems.
    Any NEW ideas would be appreciated (no compact, no new catalogs, new installs, turn off various options cache preview etc. move to new folder and more.....done that etc.).

    The error is exactly what's it in  the title of the post, Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.  That's it.
    I don't know what else to tell you, i wish I had more.  This is all over the internet, I followed pretty much all the solutions, delete the catalog or delete the preview folders (tried both).  Tinker with the cachee preferences.   Most people kill the preview folders and the catlog gets recreated and there problem is resovled, doesn't work for me.
    No cloning, totally two different catalogs (not networked etc.)  a good question though.
    When I am refering to catalog and cache, I strictly talking about LR only, nothing outside of that or in the operating system, just LR files only, here they are:
    I  have a   LR catalog folder called--->   C:\Users\Mark\Documents\LightRoom Catalog\LR_Catalog
    you have another folder called: LR_Catalog Previews.lrdata   (with many subfolders underneath at)
    and I have LR catalog filein C:\Users\Mark\Documents\LightRoom Catalog\LR_Catalog
    LR_Catalog.LRCAT
    That's it, a file and a folder with many sub-folders.  I'll get a screen print with error next, but it's basically what I said earlier in the beginning, you can be in develope or even the library, and error occurs in a message box, you hit ok and the application exits. On average it can happen 6-7 times with an hour and sometimes not at all, working with same the photos.  Sometimes it can happen within mintues, sometimes not at all for over 2 hours.  There is no specific pattern to it. 

  • I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath  that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches."

Thanks Shawn (Irish Se7en) .

    Can you try to rename (not delete!) the folder named "YOUR_CATALOG_NAME Previews.lrdata" and restart Lightroom?

  • "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"

    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.
    Any Ideas here? Is there another app that may be telling it where to look for the cache and it no longer there? I was using a ramdisk for a bit but ditched it. Not sure if that has something to do with it but it seems suspect.
    Your thoughts?

    Talked to Adobe support this morning, this is their response in case anyone else is looking for help. I'm running a Windows 7 box, LR 5.6.
      Gokul: Click on start and type %appdata%, then open roaming folder.
      Edward: ok
      Gokul: Open Adobe folder.
      Gokul: Open Lightroom folder.
      Gokul: Open Lightroom folder> Preferences.
      Edward: ok
      Gokul: Rename Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs file as Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefsOLD.
      Edward: OK
      Gokul: Please check if you can launch Lightroom without any error.
      Edward: it shows me a welcome screen and is asking me to select my country
      Edward: aka, register the software
      Gokul: You can skip and launch it.
      Edward: LR catalog not found
      Gokul: Please select the catalog.
      Edward: my original catalog?
      Gokul: Yes.
      Edward: testing integrity of catalog
      Edward: loaded just fine
      Gokul: Okay.
      Gokul: Please check if you can re-launch it again.
      Edward: yes, it worked!
      Gokul: Excellent!
      Gokul: Since your preferences were corrupted you were facing issue so we renamed the preferences file to reset it.
      Edward: aha....ok
    All of my import/export presets were intact along with develop user presets. I'm happy as a clam for my $10/month!

    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.

    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.

    how do i fix this. It says Lightroom encountered an error when reading from a previous cache and needs to quit. Light room will attempt to to fix the problem the next time it launches.

    I've tried renaming my catalog.lrcat file.  I've copied over my most recent backup of the catalog.lrcat and that didn't work either.

    On Mac:
    PS - to open the previews "folder" (a "package" is just a "special" folder) on Mac, ctrl-click and choose "Show package contents.." - same way you open any other special folder, like .app or .lrplugin..
