5 Lightroom told me there is another copy of lightroom open... cannot open lightroom

Lightroom is said to one another program opened the lightroom catalog and I need to shut it down before it can open in lightroom, but there is nothing open during this time. I tried to reboot the computer, repair the program, all I can think of short of reinstalling the program completely. Nothing has changed

Any suggestions?

I have windows 8

IN the folder with your catalog, there is a file with the same name as the catalog but with the extension ".lock".

When LR does not properly close, this file is left behind.

Delete the file *.lock. Delete nothing else.

    When I run lightroom it tells me to "leave the other copy of lightroom before trying to launch."  I don't have another copy running.  What should I do?

    This is a new message that I heard no said just like that. This indicates that Lightroom is not normally arrested and left a record that makes Lightroom it's already underway when you try to start it again. With the help of Windows Explorer or the Finder (depending on your operating system) go to the folder that contains your Lightroom Catalog. In this folder you will find a folder with the same name as your catalog, but with .lock extension. You must remove this lock file, and then Lightroom should start normally.

  • File is already open on another copy of the Muse + hours missing

    I open a file, I had worked on that in muse a few days ago and I get a strange message on "file is already open on another copy of the Muse. After this error in levant and learning that I can copy the file to a new location, I was able to open the file. He then told me that there have been changes on the site online (which was false). It turns out that the file Muse lost hours of my work, but saw the changes I made on the live site and thought they were updated in the browser. Now, I'm sure I had saved the work at regular intervals, I'm pedantic enough stuff to 99%, I remember having a failure of the system at the time, but I was under the work of backup automatically Muse impression anyway? Surely a system crash should not corrupt a file like this to the point that he didn't even remember saves work? Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Please send us the .muse file and the file 'MuseLog.txt' to the 'Documents' folder so that we can investigate. Also check your hard drive to confirm that a newer version of the file has not been saved in a different folder. Thank you.

  • Hi I hope someone can help. I find that when I increase the clarity on an image, it becomes very noisy/grainy. I told myself there is a tool to Denoise, but I can't seem to find it on lr5. I watched the tutorials, but they seem to be for lr4

    Hi I hope someone can help. I find that when I increase the clarity on an image, the image becomes very noisy and grainy. I told myself there is a tool to Denoise images but I can't seem to find it on lr5. I saw a couple of tutorials but called lr4 lr5 not. Help!

    Judging by the before and after shots, the original was very underexposed and you he cleared up in LR. Where only a small amount of light enters the camera, these pixels have a weak signal (image) / noise. Subsequent clarification editing software will make the sound a lot more visible, much larger than a dose of clarity. Conversely, lower the tone of an overexposed image will produce an image with less noise because S/N, in camera was higher. For this reason, it is advised to give, if possible, the exposure as much as possible without exceeding the point of clipping to the brightest highlights. In this case, with the sky in the background, you probably might not have increased the exposure of many, but you could bring the sky just before clipping, relying on the capabilities of Lightroom's sophisticated recovery allow to darken the sky during editing, which would have reduced the amount of required clarification for the pilot and the trees.

  • Is it possible to access backups performed by a single copy of the Lr of another copy?

    After trying to help anewer a question asked by someone who is original Mac had apparently broken irreparably, I was wondering if it was possible to do what I asked above - backups of access by a single computer in unworking, that were said to be stored in the cloud, another copy of Lr on another machine?

    If I had two machines, I would try it myself, but I only have one office.

    If you download the catalog from the cloud file and place it on your computer, and then in Lightroom using file-> open catalog.

    Of course, you would need to recreate a link to the photos on your computer, otherwise you will not see the photos and you will not be able to do anything in this downloaded catalog.

  • File is already open in another copy of Muse.

    I came to work this morning and turned on my computer.  Since there a network disconnect my Muse file that I had opened and functional on crashed immediately when I hit.  (Sorry, I don't have no record or intercept the error).

    Trying to re - open the file from the network, I get the following error message, and the file does not open always.

    "File is already open on another copy of the Muse."

    There is no other soul on this planet with that file open right now.  Not a single one.

    Please help me to recover this file... There is a bit of work so far that I don't want to lose.  This is the first time I've ever had this happen.  We have worked with Muse CC 2014 of a network since its output file location.

    Nevermind, copy the "corrupt" file and its assets of network on my hard drive, I could open the file successfully without error.  I recorded a new copy and added to the network.  Moving along now.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog because another application already is open.

    I hard a message that another application has the open catalog, but I have no idea what's open. Any ideas on how to understand what program it was open?

    When Lightroom has an open catalog it creates a temporary file next to the catalog file, which has the same name with an extension .lock. By default, the files are located as shown in the attached screenshot.

    If Lightroom is not normally closed the .lock file will remain in place and prevent Lightroom opening of the catalog said.

    With Lightroom closed go to the subfolder of Lightroom, and if there is a file with the name of .lock extension remove the file, and then try and open Lightroom.

  • Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

    Hello

    Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

    Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

    Hope it makes sense.

  • Satellite A100-784 - how can I make another copy of my recovery disc DVD

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
    How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

    Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

    Hello

    You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
    Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

    What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.

  • How to use values that are repeated in a text ring control? There is another similar command?

    Hello guys,.

    I'm working on an application which, stat-up, read a few basic values of configuration in a file and passes control ring text, such as an ini file.

    The ring text control is ideal for use in the blocks diagram because I can choose a specific text and I the associated value, in a very clear way, but... I can't use duplicate values, and my application has more than two double values.

    There's another way or control that replaces the ring control and maintains these good qualities?

    Thank you very much
