Cannot open Lightroom
I can't open my lightroom application. I get a pop up box with the following message is displayed:
Cannot open the lightroom catalog named lightroom 5 because it is open in another application already. Leave the other copy of lighroom before trying to launch.
I am running windows 7, 64 bit
Help, please
In the folder where the catalogue is there is probably a .lock file. Delete this file only , and then try again.
It is created to prevent Lightroom used simultaneously by more than 1 user, and if Lightroom is not shutdown properly for some reason some may remain in the folder.

Cannot open Lightroom 5.6
"Cannot open Lightroom 5 catalog because is already open in another application"
Someone knows how to fix this? LR is up-to-date. I have pictures due for delivery.
Thanks for any comments!
This is probably a "lock" file It is created if Lightroom is not closed correctly.

Cannot open Lightroom 5.7
Now I am unable to open Lightroom 5.7 - when I try to open the program I get a message that the "5 Lightroom Catalog" has already been opened by another program. All previous versions of Lightroom have been previously deleted from my PC WIN of 8.1.
Hi rodabarr,
With Lr closed go to the location where your catalog (by default it is pictures/Lightroom)
Delete the. Lock file with the same name as your catalog. For example, in the image below, it is Lightroom4 catalog.lrat.lock
In your case, it will be Lightroom5catalog.lrcat.lock
Restart Lightroom
Let us know if this helps

When I try to open Lightroom 4, he asked my license. As I wrote my serial number, he accepts it, but do not open the program. Any ideas to fix this?
I suggest you to remove the old version, Lightroom 4.4 of the computer and keep Lightroom 4.4.1 on your computer.
Also, please see the following link for the error you get: Troubleshooting for errors that may occur when you change the modules in Lightroom

Cannot open lightroom 6 no cloud) that I bought on the web
Hello,
I bought the 6 upgrade for my lightroom 5 (no clouds) on the web on August 27 for mac (I have the latest operating system). I get an email with my code number and instruction how to download lightroom 6.
3 days later, I still not able to download lightroom 6.
I open the installer... I see on the first line: lightroom for mac/win my code number and the download window is empty
second line: lightroom no Code window and the window for the window is enabled
third line: ligt... Mac... no code and the window for Mac is enabled
I click on the Mac window, a new window appears where I chose the version of lightroom to select this option to download. I see the 1,2,3,4,5 version but not version 6.
Where is the problem?
I try to reach someone talking about Adobe, but it is almost impossible to reach the person or I don't know how to do it. And on the forum, I can't find anything good for my problem.
do you have a solution? A phone number to talk to someone?
Thank you for your help

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.

I've been using Lightroom for several years and finally I bought a perpetual license of standalone lightroom 5 with update free for LR6 on PC and mobile.
Last night I was working in lightroom on PC when I realized that I had imported my new photos to the catalog 2015 instead of a new catalog of 2016 which I had used for a week. I chose open another catalogue (2016) in order to import new pictures in the catalog, bypassed the message about stopping the catalog I was using and the message back up before you finish then anything, lightroom does not open.
I performed tests on the PC, but nothing wrong was found. This morning when I turned on by clicking on the lightroom ICON was just a spinning wheel (busy) for about 5 seconds, then nothing. He has refused to open.
I tried to connect to my Adobe account, it was very slow but I got end.
Earlier I decided to use the laptop, which is independent of the PC, I do not use cloud services. I have exactly the same problem, a wheel that runs for about 5 seconds, then nothing. It's like I've been locked out.
Problem has been resolved. Disc scan in SafeMode the updated an irreparable damaged windows file. Restored (reset) initial backup of disks PC and restore all data backup hard drive. Fingers crossed, everything will be fine now.

Cannot open Lightroom downloaded from CC
I downloaded last week. It does not open. Control Panel says it isn't here. Said networkit is on is not available, BUT I can see the .exe in my records, as well as modules. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I click the icon and a timer appears and disappears and nothing happens. Tried to open it from the folder using .exe, but nothing happens. No error messages except if I go to the control panel and try to fix it and he said: this is not. When I open the start menu, only the Catlalogs show so something apparently did not download properly. I can't uninstall it. I can't open it. I am completely frustrated. Watched a lot of tutorials and it looks like a wonderful product. Photoshop CS6 CC works very well. Can not understand why it does not open, run, and seems invisible to repair or uninstall, even when I corrected where it was. He opened once but only the catalog. Then nothing.
ANY help is appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you. I got it running without doing so. But I have more problems now with PS CC. But this is the wrong forum. Thank you!
