Opening my lightroom 5.. I get a message that Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview Cacge and needs to quit.
Can someone walk me through the steps. Im dealing with MAC computer
Go to the folder containing your catalog and delete the folder with the extension .lrdata. Then start Lightroom, and it will begin creating a new cache file.
If you need to know where the files are: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5

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

Tried to open LR 5 in cc. Receive error message "LR 5 encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit". How do I fix the problem?
Hi, Have a look under the "MORE LIKE THIS" on the right there should be an answer in one of those threads.

help!
Delete all your previews, and the previews.db and rootpixels.db files, and preferably clear the acr cache.
Then select All Photographs, and go to library/previews and choose build all new standard previews. If you have a lot of images, do this overnight.

Every time I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!
Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

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. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???
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.

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message. Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening. How do it fix this?
Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

when my lightroom opens up I keep getting an error message that states, "Lightroom encountered an error whne reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" I have relaunched it a number of times and keep getting the same message. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
You need to delete your preview cache and have Lightroom rebuild it. Cache location can be found here.

"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 lauches". What do I do? I get the msg each time I try to open it.
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.

Many thanksMany thanks for your help, at lease the LR is working now. How do I rebuild previews and smart previews or will this happen automatically?

"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?

I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1. When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "
"Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
Every time I relaunch I get the same message. I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
