Lightroom catalog that is locked by another instance of Lightroom

Hello people,

I have a problem when I run lightroom. I'm not able to open my current catalog because they told as below.  I'm sure that there is no instance of lightroomFullscreen capture 6152010 60457 PM.jpg

Apart from that I try ti run now.

I even tried restarting the computer several times to do that no other instances are running. Any suggestions would be really useful.

Thank you

Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

Remove the .lock file in the same folder as your catalog - that should fix it.

  • How can I tell lightroom 5 to use a catalog that is moved to another drive?

    I moved the entire file my images (including my Lightroom Catalog), which was previously on my Windows 7 (64 bit) drive c: to another drive (f) and now I need to update Lightroom so that he knows where to find his re catalog - find.

    Please could I have a few basic instructions to change the Lightroom settings, in order to reuse the old catalog.

    Thanks for your help,

    Ian

    It can be very simple or it can be complex. To start, first of all make sure that the catalog file (the one with the .lrcat (LRCAT) extension) and the file preview that has the same name as the catalog but with the extension Previews.lrdata file are in the same folder. With Lightroom closed, double-click the catalog file and it should start Lightroom, if the original photos files are in their original location every thing should be fine. If the original files are not in the same place, then you will need to navigate Lightroom where they are. Post for additional information if you need additional assistance.

    Save the installer complete your computer somewhere. Open your

    the computer again. Now, try the full installer.

    Much thanks ideato.

    There was no possibility of not installing the update (in custom installation) as in the installation from the heel, but I went ahead anyway.
    This seems to have done the trick.
    No error messages in my my profile and FF made a successful update (see screenshot).

  • Satellite A300-276 - webcam does not - locked by another application

    Hi guys,.

    My name is Mirella and I want to know one thing.
    My webcam works well, but my computer was not.
    Then my mother sent him to her friend (he is a computer technology).

    I don't know what he was doing, but my computer came back with the same things :/ And now my webcam kept good job. But after a few weeks my webcam stopped work :(
    I don't know what happened.

    I uninstalled a few programs because maybe he can return to work, but does not work it. If I open the camera software that say "Locked by another application" but I don't have any strange program on my computer.

    Please help me!
    Thank you<>

    > I uninstalled a few programs because maybe he can return to work, but does not work it

    Do you too uninstall webcam software?
    Generally, this error appears if another software like Skype for example uses the webcam at the moment at the start of the webcam software.

    You must uninstall the webcam software in Control Panel-> software
    Then you must also uninstall the driver for the webcam in Device Manager. The webcam should be listed under imaging devices.

    Reboot the laptop. Download the CCleaner and clean the registry and operating system using this tool. Reboot once more and install the webcam software once more.

    Also make sure that other software like Skype does not work at the same time.

    From my experience, this should help.

  • I'm trying to backup to an external drive my contact Outlook .pst files. I get an error code 80070021 Ox who says that the files are either locked by another program

    I'm trying to backup to an external drive my contact Outlook .pst files. I get an error code

    Beef 80070021 which says that the files are either locked by another program. I just put all these contacts on iPhone.  What should I do to fix this?

    This problem is caused by a MS Outlook Add In which prevents closing Outlook. Add in that is usually responsible for cauysing this problem is one that search/indexing of the tool. The remedy is very simple:

    (i) with Outlook open, go to Tools Menu
    (ii) click on "Trust Center".
    (iii) in the left pane, choose Add-Inns, and then near the lower part of the window, you will see a button that allows you to manage your COM Add-Ins.
    "(iv) to ensure that the drop-down list is set to ' COM Add-Ins" and then click on OK
    (v) select Windows 'Search Email an indexer' and then click 'remove '.
    (vi) click OK, and then close Outlook.
    (vii) re - open Outlook and run the backup. (The program will tell you that Outlook must close the first before saving). Everything should be OK.

    I hope this helps.

    If it is on the same computer, you should be able to connect to allow Lightroom to know you now use your new monthly plan, the catalog file should be automatically usable with no addition step.

    If it's another computer, you need to transfer everything: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

    Device Manager does not detect also no error with the camera

    Hey,.

    You run the internal webcam software at the same time? If Yes, it could assign the webcam feature in Skype so close to the webcam software before you start Skype and use the webcam.

    If it doesn't work try reinstalling the driver for the webcam of the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But before you install the new webcam software, delete the old first, restart the computer. I recommend also using CCleaner to clean the registry before installing the latest webcam software.
    Also, these old registry keys affect the features of webcam CCleaner would be worth a try. :)

  • Win7 on Satellite L300D - Webcam is locked by another application

    Hello

    I had updated my Windows Vista to Windows 7 and since I had problems with the webcam.
    I tried to download other software and it will work for a day or two when I go to open the webcam there is a pop up that says the device is locked by another application when nothing else is in place?

    It seems also not connect to Skype? Anyone have any ideas?

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Webcam is entered correctly in the Device Manager?

    I have experience with Win7 on Satellite L300 God. I ve done own Win7 32 bit installation with all the drivers, tools and utilities and I must say that the webcam works perfectly.
