Lightroom crashes whenever I open it with an error 'preview cache.

Says "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading of its preview cache and need to quit." and then she forces to close.  I tried to uninstall/reinstall, restarted my computer (which is only a few months old).  As a photographer in the middle of the high season, it's EXTREMELY frustrating!  Help please!

In the same folder that your catalog is a previews.lrdata folder. Delete this (in the Finder or Explorer), then restart LR.

  • New import feature is shitty and any new version of LR crashes whenever I open it

    I guess that's the ONLY way to Adobe.   So, if this is the case... the new import System... SUCKS Big time.  It takes three or four different attempts to reach the file appropriate to your player to get my uploaded images.  Please go back to the easy way to sellct where my images.

    This latest version of LR crashes whenever I open it.  Don't know what the problem is but FIX IT!

    Hi RDPhotography,

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    As mentioned by Keith, yes we are aware of the current issues with the last update of Lightroom and are currently working on this issue.

    For now, I suggest you follow the steps below:

    • Go to the Lightroom preferences > General > uncheck 'show add photos screen '.
    • Lightroom preferences > Performance > uncheck "use the graphics processor.
    • Restart Lightroom, and check if you are able to import
    • If the steps above do not help, then roll back to the last version and refer to this article for the same thing: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/roll-back-to-prior-update.html

Then my computer crashes or I get BSOD with the error Stop: 0x000000F4. Generally before that happens, Skype will plant give me a message that says "error disk i/o" If that helps. How can I fix this problem so that this error does not happen again? It happened several times. I tried to reinstall the CMOS battery on the motherboard. I have the latest firmware of my SSD and drivers for my card mother and graphics card. My specs are:

    Windows 7 x 64

    Hello

    To help you, we will need files DMP to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

    If you don't know where the DMP files, here's how to get to them:
    1. go to the Windows\Minidump folder.
    2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.
    3 download the zip containing the files DMP to Skydrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste in your answer.

    If you plan to use Skydrive, but do not know how to download it, please see the following:
    http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

    Please note that all "cleaner" such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove files DMP when using because of their place too.

    If your computer doesn't generate DMP files, follow these steps:

    1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

    2. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

    3. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > failure > ensure there is a check mark next to "Write an event to the system log" > make sure that "automatically reboot" is unchecked.

    Ensure that the partial memory image is turned on and make sure the path is % SystemRoot%\Minidump.

    4. check that the viewers is ENABLED:

    Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

    If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

    Kind regards

  • How to prevent the creation of a profile whenever I open it with Firefox

    I'm on a Mac on Mountain Lion 30.0 Firefox running. Whenever I open the browser, it acts as if it opens for the first time and records nothing of earlier uses - bookmarks, preferences, etc. In troubleshooting, I noticed that it creates a whole new profile, so that my profiles folder ends with dozens of new profiles.

    I've searched quite exhaustive and tried other suggestions, including reset Firefox, do a clean install, etc., but nothing works. Prefs.js is not locked. I suspect there is a current permissions Mac or similar problem. I'm not under any antivirus software. I don't have this problem with other software.

    Any ideas on how to approach this on a Mac?

    Thank you.

    This only happens if Firefox is not able to create or update the file profiles.ini a reason any.

  • CC of Photoshop crashes whenever I open it - may be to do with missing fonts from the recovered document

    Everytime I open Photoshop CC (2014), it crashes. I go as far to load the document retrieved, then shows me the Creative Cloud Typekit font substitution dialog box, but before I can support what anyone, she leaves. Maybe if I can open it without him load the retrieved document then it might work, but I don't know how to do this.

    Adobe support just solved this for me by resetting (renaming) my preferences from the file (in ~/Library/Preferences)

  • Firefox crashes whenever I open a vine

    Hello

    Whenever I try to open a web page that has a video to vineyard inside, firefox crashes. This happens every time. Same opening http://www.vine.co will crash firefox. I noticed the same thing with this website www.flashscore.com, whenever a team scores, firefox crashes. I tried to start firefox in safe mode, I even did a uninstall complete and reinstalled, same thing. I really don't want to use a different browser. Your help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello disappear, what kind of sound card do you use? Mozilla developers are working on a fix for some models that hang on some content audio html5, which should already be present in firefox nightly - for more details you can also check the #970147 bug.

    In addition to what has been said here, you can try to disable sounds "improvements" in the properties of the windows device speaker as a temporary workaround...

  • My computer crashes whenever I open After Effects

    Whenever I have try and run After Effects, I get a blue screen saying 'KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE' and my computer restarts. It started when I downloaded a template for a project. I tried to open it in After Effects and the blue screen appeared. I never download anything so I thought great, the only time wherever I have buy a model that he has a virus. But I scanned with Symantec and he said nothing about any possible virus... I used just After Effects a minute before I opened the project so I highly doubt that it is a matter of update. I'm currently scanning my computer viruses, but I don't know that I feel as if it was something else. Should I try to reinstall After Effects? If I do this, it will delete the files in my project? I have a lot of things I want to keep because I'm working on something big now and it's all in a single file. I'm under that the latest version of AE passing just installed last week. Works fine on my computer Windows 8.1. All drivers up to date. I'd appreciate any help, because I have to finish my video soon...

    It turns out that it was a problem with my graphics card. The most recent update of NIVIDIA GTX 870 M at the time caused the crash to happen, so I started my last update and it worked fine. The most recent update graphics card, as of today no longer causes the crash to occur, then all is well. Thanks for the help though!

    Initially, I had this problem after using Firefox nightly. However, an older previous version (37.0) regular Firefox worked. When I tried to update to Firefox, this problem happened.

    Hi ryangates, unfortunately these accidents are caused by security software websense currently running on your system and adversely affect firefox. According to some information, this can be corrected with more recent versions of websense, then you might want to contact your Department and if they could sliding an updated version of websense. otherwise firefox esr can also be an option: the pre-8.1 Websense versions cause outages starting in Firefox
