How can I fix message error "an error occurred when attempting to change modules" on a Mac?
Just installed Lightroom 5. error message 'an error has occurred when attempting to change modules' how can I fix it?
It is ideal to have all permissions to the Adobe under the user's library folder, not only to do this, to avoid issues are of course the Adobe folder has read and write access to currently registered in the user account and administrator:
Follow the procedure below:
Step 1:
(1) right-click on the icon in the Finder, then select 'Go - To' folder.
(2) you will get a text box, type in the following command, and then press the 'Return'. () Do not miss ~ symbol)
~/Library
(3) then navigate to Application Support > Adobe
.
Right-click on the Adobe folder and select ""GetInfo ' option. "
Expand the sharing & permissions section.
Click on the padlock icon in the lower corner on the right. Enter your administrator user name and password when you are prompted, and then click OK.
Please click on '+' symbol, it will open the list of user accounts. Add currently logged in username and administrator option,
Then indicate ""& read/write " permission currently logged in username and Administrator option."
Click the gear icon and select apply to closed. Close the dialog box information .
Then launch Lightroom application and check.

Lightroom: "an error occurred when attempting to change modules."
I am a user of Lightroom (via the Cloud) first time (used Capture One before that) and just downloaded today. The first thing I saw was this error message
"An error occurred when attempting to change modules."
I've updated 4.3 and I tried all the other recommendations, I found here:

I don't know what are the products of Nik but I don't think I have.

There was an old Installer bug which could be related. If it works in own account, copy the files back may work.
Save your copies of the following files/folders from your user account and then copy backup versions of the proprietary.
Macintosh HD / users / [username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom /.

An error occurred when attempting to change modules. 5.2 on Mac Lightroom
5.2 Lightroom on a Mac... keeps saying "an error occurred when attempting to change modules.
Pilot78 I have a solution for you!
Go to the following folder: /Users/ [user name] / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
Then press control, click the lock icon, go to permissions, do read and write access to all.
For me, which did the trick. Stupid that Adobe didn't help me on the phone with this, the support rep was actually rather rough.
Hope this helps

An error occurred when attempting to change modules? New installation on Mac Pro
OK, I use LR since version 3. I used it on Mac and windows. I was part of the program cloud creatives photographers for a year. I recently got a new MAC Pro and setup the creative cloud thereon. Photoshop, bridge and first test all work fine. Lightroom, the application I use the most, does not work. I get the above message. I searched the troubleshooting tips and tried them - no results - I deleted LR and installed from a DVD - no change.
I also noticed there are a lot of reports of this error on the forum and very little "problem solved" annotations - it also disturbs me that users have reported this error for what looks like a long time - it doesn't seem to be a new show. ". It is a recurring issue that has not been set or is a container for lots of different reasons/questions?
I am seriously disappointed that LR does not work on my new Mac Pro that I intend to move my photography work to this new computer. All Adobe solutions?
I tried the Solutions 1,2,4 and 5 on Fri/Sat. No joy. Today, I went back and looked at the troubleshooting guide again and realized that I had not tried solution 6.
6 solution solved the problem. I still argue that this is a recurring question and as Keith_Reeder said "it is not a managed exception. May not be a priority issue for Adobe but a frustrating for users.
Solution 1: Install the update of current Lightroom.
Solution 2: Re-create the preferences file.
Solution 3: Create a different catalog.
Solution 4 (Lightroom 3) uninstall Nik Software plug-ins - NA
Solution 5: Set the correct permissions on the Lightroom Application Support folder
Solution 6: Try a different user account.

An error occurred when attempting to change modules (slideshow)
Don't know what past that I have not had a problem before but I've created a new catalog with 300 images for a show that is scheduled for this Sunday and I get an error that won't let me go into slide show mode.
Any help is appreciated as I am against a date limit.
Thank you

LR 2.3 Mac 10.5.6
Sometimes the cure is to remove the file ending with .lock in your file to LR. This file should be there while running LR, but not when he is leaving. Otherwise, exit and restart LR with a new preferences file (by deleting the existing one) could do.

Had problems on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with Lightroom CC 2015.2 suspended several times so followed the advice on the forums:
- uncheck "Show"Add Photos"screen" "
After awhile the same day LR would always hang and now totally crash at startup with no error messages or anything like that. Tracking guides:
-Sign out, then back in CC
-Deleted preferences of Lightroom with Option + shift while clicking on the application icon
-Preferences from LR deleted via Finder
Has not set, LR has not yet started. Decided to downgrade following guide how roll back to Lightroom 6.1.1 or CC 2015.1 | Lightroom training Laura shoe, tutorials and tips from:
-Uninstalled CC 2015.2
-Reinstalled old CC 2015
Does not solve the problem. Lightroom said: "an error occurred when attempting to change modules." and the catalogue has not loaded. Then followed guides:
-Creation of a new user account and trying to open Lightroom it
Does not work, did not start there either, same error message. Decided to try to uninstall and reinstall the old CC 2015 once again, this time turn off the computer laptop inbetween:
-Uninstalled old CC 2015
-Disconnect from CC
-Restarted MacBook Pro
-Connect to CC
-Installed new old CC 2015
Always the same error message "an error has occurred when attempting to change modules." and can not use LR. Following following guide https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/unable-launch-lightroom-55.html:
-Disconnect from CC
-Rename the files SLCache > SLCacheold and SLStore > SLStoreold
-Open LR and connected to CC
Always the same error message "an error has occurred when attempting to change modules." and cannot do anything with LR.
Now I don't know what to do anymore. Help, please.
