I am trying to open Lightroom and he says: "the Lightroom catalog named"Lightroom Catalog"cannot open another application already has its opening.
I tried to open Lightroom and this message keeps popping up. I restarted and shut down completely my computer and that did not work. I uninstalled Lightroom and re installed several times and that has not worked. And I went in my task manager and closed all applications and that has not worked. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.
Using Windows Explorer, go to the folder containing the catalog, it is usually inside the images folder.
Delete the file that ends with the extension .lock. Do not remove anything else, now launch Lightoom.

When I try to open LR, I get the following message, the lightroom catalog file named "lightroom catalog 5, cannot open another application already has its opening." I can find no other open programs and have tried several times to reboot and turn off without success, any thoughts where I should look?

I'm unable to access my LR5.7 of my recent holiday catalog. I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) and recently installed and then uninstalled DxO Optics Pro. The error message says it "cannot open another application already has its opening.» Leave the other copy of Lightroom before trying to launch' the problem is, that I can see a copy of the open LR5 and cannot locate the "." lrcat.lock"the specific catalog I want to open the file. I tried to re-boot my computer, but it did not work.
Thanks Geoff. I was finally able to locate the "." lrcat.lock' of the relevant folder to the catalog I want to open. Once I deleted it, LR5 was able to access my images. Problem solved. Thank you

Hello!
I recently upgraded from LR3 LR4 to, at the same time spend a Mac on a Windows computer.
I use LR4 successfully for the past weeks, including yesterday. But today, as I tried to open LR4, two things happened: 1) the window that contains recently opened catalogs only showed my very newest catalog, not others as is usually done, and 2) when I tried to 'open the catalog different' I got an error message. The error message said: "the Lightroom catalog named '{catalog name}' cannot open another application already has its opening.» Leave the other copy of Lightroom before trying to launch.
I have only one copy of LR, this is why it confuses me.
I thought that maybe there was a little problem somewhere, so I opened the task Mgr "End task" on Lightroom and try again. Problem was, he showed that LR did not work (it wasn't because I clicked on 'exit' when I received the error message says, who have released the program). Thought that was weird, so I restarted the computer, thinking that might help. That did not work.
I googled my problem and found a somewhat similar situation, in which the person uninstalled/reinstalled LR and everything was back to normal. I tried this as well, but it did not work.
I always get the same exact error, if I try to open the LR catalog, or go to the folder that contains the catalog and clicking on that.
Any thoughts? I am very frustrated and I have a lot of images to process this week. (I miss my Mac)
Thank you very much!
Searched some more and found my exact problem (resolved on 2 windows open from the top - http://forums.adobe.com/message/1384884#1384884 )-YAY!

My computer is automatically disabled, while I was with lightroom application, and when I turned back on and I wanted to continue my work, this message appeared on my screen and I can't use it.
What can I do?
Thank you
Hi lizettp,
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 Lightroomcatalog.lrcat.lock
Restart Lightroom
Let us know if this helps

It just happened during the filling in the details area. Firefox has agreed a text then froze. I just erased it by opening the program to the trash on the desktop (it seems to work with any program, I've tried). I had this problem for a few months and is not fixed by updates. It happened twice during the minting of these details. Although I can fix it, it's very annoying. I have no other problems with Firefox.
This could be potentially because of Add ons or extensions that handle auto completing forms. I recommend that you first make sure that each of your add ons and extensions are up-to-date:
- https://LastPass.com/upgrade.php?fromwebsite=1 & releasenot...
- https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/
In order to eliminate add ons or hardware acceleration, try Firefox Safe Mode:
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
