Lightroom: LR4 will not open - error unexpected opening catalog
I can't open LR4. I get an "unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog cannot be opened due to an unexpected error. "This has happened after the failure of an update to WIN7. He restored the system to a previous version. In doing so, he also returned LR4.2 to LR4.1. I've seen other threads can open a different catalog, or create a new one. The problem is that, once I go to "Choose a different catalog", I get the windows to the screen where I can choose my backup. I select the backup catalog and click on 'open '. The window disappears, but the window "Select a catalog" underlying LR shows still 1 catalog to open... my original catalogue. The backup does not appear in the list. (The backup is not a network drive, and it is not marked as read).
I then try 'create a new catalog', get the Windows screen, enter a new name and click "Save". The same thing happens. The Windows screen goes away and the window "Select a catalog" LR still shows the catalog of moose in the list. So, I can not create or choose a different catalog. I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you.
Remember to re - install Lightroom.

It is said that he met a problem when previewing and it will fix itself the next time, but it didn't. I even tried to reinstall. Help!
Hi korrinr,
It seems to be a problem with the preview cache.
Navigate to the location of your Lightroom catalog via finder/File Explorer and get rid of the Previews.lrdata folder suggest you (do not delete the .lrcat file)
Kind regards

Need help connecting 4 Photoshop Lightroom to Photoshop CS6 on my windows computer. I uninstalled CS5 to save the room and no link between ambient light and CS6 is missing; I tried to use E control and he say it exports, but nothing happens.
An idea
The pref settings point to CS6 - see image below. If this is not the case, leave the LR4 and PS CS6 and re - boot your computer. Then restart LR4.

I installed Lightroom CC CC on Macbook Yosemite 10.10.3 running App. It says it is installed, but the attempts to open it get only a snapshot of the screen flash, then nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but get the same result.
I can assure you that disconnect from creative cloud and reconnect works, like the post above.
Adobe: Creative cloud must die a horrible death. Bring regular return of your product licenses. CC has been nothing other than a nightmare.

FaceTime will not open on my Macbook pro (el capitan). Message: "FaceTime close unexpectedly. Click Reopen to reopen the application. Click report to display more detailed information and send a report to Apple. "Please help me.
Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).
☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages
in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select
List of newspapers seen ▹ display
in the menu at the top of the screen bar.
In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the name of the application crashed or process. For example, if Safari has crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes).
Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages since the time of the last fall, as appropriate. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.
The journal contains a large amount of information, almost everything that is not relevant to solve a particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.
Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, clear the search box, and then select
DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ user
(not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports of incidents. The name of each report begins with the name of the process and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report on the process in question. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot.
I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway. If the report is only a few lines, make sure that you have disabled the search box.
If you don't see any report, but you know, he had an accident, you have chosen diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "
Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.
When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

EU LR4.4, 80 d canon raw file will not open?
Hi Andrewc,
In order to open the files from Canon 80 d you need Lightroom 6.5.
Please see the following link for a list of devices supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices
Or you can convert Camera Raw files to DNG using the DNG Converter and then import the files into Lightroom.

I just restored my HD Mac from a time machine backup and PS 4 will not open. I get an error code 150:30. No idea what I need to do?
Most likely your Photoshop installation was damaged by the restoration. Re-installing Photoshop CS4. You can find the latest version that has been published here: products CS4 download

I installed the beta version of lightroom 5 when he was 1, it does not open, I installed the current version through creative cloud, it will not open either. I tried to delete the preferences.agprefs file, did not help. Lightroom 4 runs normally. I use Windows 8.1
They said that nothing happens when they begin to LR. It is a symptom that began with LR 5.5 or whatever the first version which was installed after that, where for me deletion of content but do not delete the folder SLCache, itself, is what worked for me:
Different things to try are listed here, where the Solution 4 is what worked for me:
