• Catalogue Lightroom can't open because she is still open to another application

  Since yesterday I can not open Lightroom. It is said that the Lightroom Catalog is unable to open because it is still open in another application. When I look at I have no active programs. All this began after I had force stopped because the PC got stuck. Anyone for help? THX!

  When Lightroom is opened, a lock file is created to prevent third parties to access the catalogue. Normally, this file will be deleted when you close Lighroom, but if she's not close properly because of a freeze or a power failure, it could not be deleted. You will then get an error message saying that the catalog is open in another application, and you can not launch LR.

  Using the Explorer/Finder, navigate to the folder that contains your catalog.

  Delete the file that ends with .lock. Do not remove anything else. Now, try Lightroom.

• Lightroom catalog cannot be opened. WHY?

  My computer crashed. Lightroom is now ask me to re - enter the serial number of my software (I bought it before the set monthly subscription thing) and then telling me "cannot open the Lightroom catalog called"Lightroom Catalog"because is another application already open." I gives me the ability to "choose a different catalog", "continue" or "quit". There is no other catalog, I only have one created. I click on 'continue' and nothing DON'T get PAST. The message window will Flash, and here I am watching the same error message that gives me the same options to "choose another catalogue", "continue" or "quit".

  WHY CAN I NOT ACCESS MY PROGRAM OF LIGHTROOM? HOW CAN I FIX?

  It should be noted I tried clicking on the three options. "Choose a different catalog" simply evokes a directory showing what I already knew; that I don't have that one catalog. 'exit', of course, leaves through the window. I also shot to the top of my task manager to verify that no other programs/applications were running, so I don't know yet, I received this message from another application have my Lightroom Catalog open in the first place.

  Help, please

  It worked!
  Simply by removing the file ".lock" with the same name 'error' catalogue spoke, I again was able to access Lightroom.

  Side note: My mistake of 'catalogue' began to appear after my computer crashed as well.

  Thanks for the advice everyone! penderra Hal P Anderson farriswlphotos

  Hi flylooper,

  This seems to be a problem with this catalogue.

  Launch of Lightroom with the command button and choose the option to create a new catalog

  If you are able to create a new catalog, then go to file menu > import from another catalog > choose your main catalog to import data from.

  Or, you can search for a recent catalog backup and verify if you are able to open that.

  Möchte ich meinen LR-Katalog von meinem iMac auf einen importieren neugekauften PC. Dabei erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung is ' "Katalog Der kann nicht importiert werden, da er von einer other Lightroom copy verwendet wird already '." Was kann ich tun?

  To move the catalog to a new computer, you do not need to import using Lightroom, you can copy the entire folder to the new location.
