5 Lightroom will crash/no guarantor/freezing on Mac

Hi Forum,

My lightroom keep to overwrite/no response and turn in a gray screen after that some loading which lasted forever. It is right after I start and as soon as I open a file for editing or for export, it goes all blurry and then well, then there is nothing.

I use a Mac Book Pro, which is new and an external hard drive with plenty of space to this topic. My lightroom is updated, I use Lightroom 5.7.1, and I'm not a user of creative cloud.

I searched the forum for an answer but all I found were a ton of other users have reported the same problem but no solution at all. Needless to say, it's quite annoying and frustrating. If anyone knows a reliable alternative to Lightroom then please let me know as Adobe problems become ridiculous. In fact, I'm at a point where I plan to go again 100% analog.

I have attached 2 screenshots. Any help is appreciated more. Thank you.Screen Shot 2015-09-21 at 5.56.08 PM.pngScreen Shot 2015-09-21 at 5.56.28 PM.png

  • Lightroom will not leave correctly

    Hi all

    So I had a hard time smoking Lightroom CC 2015.5.1 which means that the option is still grayed out and I always have to force it out.  I'm on a mac (details below).  Here's what it looks like:

    Screen Shot 2016-09-16 at 11.19.17 AM.png

    I know that when I'm in treatment of something it will be greyed out usually until the process is completed.  But even when I'm sitting in the library with past anything, it still won't let me quit smoking.

    Help!

    Thank you!!

    Hi gsharp,.

    I suggest you first upgrade from Lightroom to the latest version 2015.7.

    Click Help > updates.

    Once updated, try to quit Lightroom and see if it freezes again or not.

  • Lightroom CC crashes when you use the second monitor

    I use Lightroom CC on a core 6 2010 Mac Pro with 24 GB of RAM and the application running on an SSD with OS10.9.5.

    Until the other day, I've been using Lightroom 5.7.

    I have two NEC 24 "monitors connected to my computer.

    I paid about $1,000 for each, and I was happy with their color rendering and performance.

    In the last two weeks, I had repeatedly when Lightroom stops working.

    Usually after using edit in Photoshop command, or creating a web gallery, once the order has been issued, LR will go to one screen and frozen at this time, most of the controls does not work. Then I have to select exit from the menu and reopen the application. Needless to say it's a lousy way to work.

    Tonight, I discovered that if I run Lightroom on a monitor, the gel that happens after having a web gallery, or help edit in Photoshop, does not happen. However, if I start with just one monitor, use edit in Photoshop, then click to use my second monitor, then frost.

    Having 2 monitors is very useful, so having to limit myself to 1 monitor is pretty disappointing, not to mention a waste of investment.

    I've been using Lightroom 5 long on this system without these problems.

    I installed Lightroom CC as a way to solve my problem.

    But there is the same problem with it.

    I thought about updating the operating system to 10.11, but I expect to do.

    I've read of people having problems with OS 10.11 (El Capitan), and I need to upgrade backup software, if I switch to 10.11.

    It seems to me that there may be some type of bug or problem with Lightroom and the Mac OS when it comes to use 2 monitors.

    Everyone knows this freeze or lock up Lightroom?

    Has anyone else had him freezes related to the use of two monitors?

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    A Mac savvy friend suggested that I create a new user account to see if the problem of gel with the second monitor would also with a new user account.

    I created a new user account, and Lightroom works fine.

    Then, I had to migrate all the settings for the various programs to the new user.

    I also decided to improve the operating system of 10.9 Mavericks at El Captian, 10.11.

    I also changed 5.7 Lightroom at Lightroom CC 2015.

    All these computing has taken a lot of time, but now everything works fine.

  • Lightroom 6 crashes every time that the application starts

    After finally realizing that I had to uninstall Adobe CC, Photoshop and Lightroom to update to LR CC, I'm more able to get Lightroom to work at all. The application will crash whenever I try to run it. I tried to uninstall it again once, as well as all other Adobe applications, but the problem persists. At this point I have really no idea what I need to do to make this work...

    CC of Photoshop works perfectly fine btw...

    I use this with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit.

    Thank you very much Adobe support!

    They were able to find the problem - redistributable Microsoft Visual C++.

    Details of the accident:

    Problem event name: APPCRASH

    Application name: lightroom.exe

    Application version: 6.5.0.10

    Application timestamp: 56e2e2da

    Fault Module name: MSVCR120.dll

    Fault Module Version: 12.0.21005.1

    What I've done: uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 and 2013.

    Then install that hide them (downloaded from MS website).

    Then run through all updates from MS Windows.

    And Lightroom CC was back!

  • If I open a tab that has a vine file, Firefox crashes. I don't even have to click on the vine-just that it is part of tha page will crash Firefox

    If I fall on a vine someone has posted to twitter, or go to a Web page where someone posted a vineyard, Firefox will crash. I don't even have to click on the 'play' button-Firefox will crash. How to use FF to block the vine to load even on my pc?

    It's strange, it's hard to imagine a good reason for it.

    I see you have Blocksite. Have you tried this model:

    http://*.vine.co
    

    Edit: You may also need:

    https://*.vine.co
    

    When Firefox crashes, it generally records information about what was happening at that time. You can submit these data to Mozilla and share with the volunteers of the forum to see if it points to the solution. Please read the support article "Firefox blocks - troubleshoot to prevent and help in establishing accidents" (especially the last section) to get the how to get these IDs crash and then after the most recent here.

    If you get the Mozilla Crash Reporter and rather get a Windows dialog box, maybe videos are somehow triggering an incompatibility with the driver for your graphics card. To work around the problem, you can try to disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Which comes into effect after you quit and then restart Firefox.

  • Iyogi has contacted me and said that I have to pay $199 to continue my contract or my system will crash. Is it a scam?

    Windows web site

    I was contacted by someone from India, IYOGI, that if I send them $199.00 my Windows contract will expire and my computer will crash! is it a scam?

    Hello RichardBurdick,

    You have a support contract with Microsoft? AFAIK IYOGI is a group of independent support (worldwide) in India sites. They have nothing to do with Microsoft. and that's probably another scam.

    Unless you have a direct contract with Microsoft support no Microsoft never will contact you about problems with your PC.

    They tried to tell you that you had problems with your PC and they can fix if you have followed there instructions. They probably said something about open or by opening event viewer run and then typing in a command?

    There are a lot of these scams around, do not fall for them. Never let them access to your PC.

    Only you know if you have already paid FRO a support contract. If you do not, then it is a scam to make you part with your money.

    Here is a link that refers to the IYOGI scam: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/03/aghast-at-avasts-iyogi-support/

    I write that there is a problem with Google on my computer so I don't get access to some other details IYOGI scam. Try Googling for details IYOGI scams

  • 5 Lightroom will not import or export photos.  Solution you need?

    In fact, the error message means you are trying to overwrite the original images that are in Lightroom. Lightroom will refuse to do as you known here as it would leave the images in Lightroom in an inconsistent state. You simply select a location different export where are your original images.

    Note that this is inherent in the works of Lightroom. It is not a traditional image editor and you should not treat this way and try to crush your originals that you can do with Photoshop. When you want a file that reflects your changes, you export to a new location and use, and throw away when you are finished with them. You keep the originals intact and Lightroom will store the sequence of editing for you, then you can always return on your changes or new copies in any format or size you want to export.
