error. Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog

Hello, I receive the error message: "the called Lightroom Catalog catalog Lightroom 5 cannot open another application already has its opening" at the opening of Lightroom. There is no other application don't use it. There is one file available, not back to the top I was download a catalog of 5.3 TB over the past 4 days and has not stopped. RAW files are sitting on a separate hard drive to the laptop where the Lightroom Catalog is. I can't access this catalog now. I had a crash before it happens... someone can help here?

You must go to the folder where your catalog and look for a file with .lock extension. This file must be deleted, and then you can again use your catalog. Sometimes, if Lightroom closes abnormally, the lock file is not removed. And that's what causes this error message.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom catalog on external drive

    Please excuse the screen name. I tried so much to during registration, but they were all taken while I was sure that it would be available.

    I'm moving from a PC to a Mac laptop.

    I copied my drive whole photo on an external drive, which is what I use with my laptop. My catalogue and photos are stored on this external hard drive and when I try to open the catalog, I get the following error:

    Lightroom does not start with this catalogue. It is on a network volume or a volume on which Lightroom is unable to save the changes. But I have no problem opening an image in Photoshop so I know not the files being copied in a readable format.

    Ideas?

    Hi somedaymetalkpretty

    I suspect that your external drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, which is normal for Windows, but impossible to write in Mac. You will need to use an external hard drive formatted to FAT32 if you want to use in Windows and Mac.

    Beat

    PS: I guess that your catalog (.lrcat file) does not exceed 4GB, otherwise you would have a problem with FAT32.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog

    Hi.

    I get a message on the screen in windows when I try to go on lightroom that says "lightroom catalog could not be opened because it has been opened by another application already and I don't know where it may be or even where to look? can you help me please

    Jenny

    Go in the same folder as your Lightroom catalog file.

    In this folder is a file whose name ends in. LOCK (probably all lowercase). Delete this one. LOCK file. Do not remove anything else.

  • 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.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog because he is "busy in another program" - what can I do?

    I tried to restart my computer (three times...) and reinstall the program - no use.

    I have no idea what program uses the catalog or anything that doesn't go there.

    Help, please!

    Try looking in your catalog file to see if there is a file with .lock extension. It should have the same name as your catalog file if we're here. If you find such a file, you must remove it. Once you do that Lightroom should start normally.

    My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

    It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

    If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.

    We also have the database version 10.2.0.4 that the spfile even uses everyday cold backup of the database.

    also, I put the 777 permission to the file.

    OK, I guess there will be corruption of the SPFILE as if edited manually or in any other cases too.

    You have a backup of SPFILE? backup of the file PFILE or?

    then starting using this SPFILE, if any backup then start with PFILE and then create SPFILE from PFILE.

    Otherwise, you can copy the contnets of the parameters of the alert log file initialization and paste in the editor and the instance of starutp.

    These are the options.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom program

    When I try to open 5 Lightroom my computer tells me that it's already open in another application. I don't know where it is. any ideas?

    I couldn't find exactly the Lightroom Catalog icons that you showed in the message above... I had already gone to pictures/Lightroom and clicked on remove previously so he showed no file... I clicked on Delete again and that removed Lightroom in the catalog of photos... and I am now able to open my lightroom program... I have all my pictures import again... but it's ok... I am so relieved to be able to open the program. You know how it happened? Thank you very much.

  • Cannot open the Lightroom

    I got lightroom for a year, but for a few months now lightroom just will not open. I click on the app and it comes up with a box saying "Lightroom catalog named"Lightroom Catalog"cannot open another application has opened" and gives me the option to choose a different catalog, to continue or exit, but if I try to choose another catalogue none of my catalogs are here. Does anyone have an Adviser on how to solve this problem? I already tried to uninstall lightroom and enter the taskmanager to shut what is open and they do not work.

    Charlotteb salvation,

    With Lr closed go to the location where your catalog (by default it is Pictures/Lightroom)

    Remove the . Lock file with the same name as your catalog. For example, in the image below, it is Lightroomcatalog.lrcat.lock

    • Rename or delete the Lightroomcatalog.lrcat.lock file.

    • Restart Lightroom

    Let us know if that helps.

    Kind regards

  • CHKDSK error: cannot open the volume for direct access.

    CHKDSK is on the machine does not work it gives me the error:


    Cannot open volume for direct access.
    Autochk cannot run because of an error caused by a recently installed software.
    Use the system restore feature in the control panel to restore the system to a point prior to the installation of the new software package.
    An unspecified error has occurred (766f6c756d652e63 3f1)


    When I run it.

    I also tried a boot following the instructions of clean boot in Microsoft (through the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 URL) and then try to run a CHKDSK command-line command (cmd) prompt in an administrator account and it always gives me error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1

    I also have the CD of Windows 7 available and administrator of the computer. I don't know how to get it to make CHKDSK work correctly at startup
    Thank you

    Hello Mitcherator777,

    You can connect to your computer in normal mode or only in safe mode?

    It would be the best way to run the Chkdsk command:

    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Let us know the status of your question.

    Thank you

    Marilyn

    Marilyn,

    This problem has been resolved, I contacted Microsoft directly on the phone in the time of September.
    Question has proved to be a dirty disc. as my 1 year limited manufacturer expired warranty, I have since last week bought a new HDD to solve this problem.
    Please examine this issue.
    Thank you.
