Problem opening 5 Lightroom

I can't open Lightroom 5 and this is the message I get when I try to open it: "the Lightroom catalog named Lightroom 5 cannot open another application already has its opening."  I searched my computer and that you have not found where another application might have opened.  Help, please!

Look in the folder (probably named Lightroom), where is your catalog and with Lightroom closed remove the .lock file that is most likely there.

  • Problem opening Adobe Lightroom

    I downloaded a free trial of Adobe Lightroom.  After my trial, I bought the software.  I've been using the software on my computer, but when I tried to open the program tonight, I received the following message: "Lightroom will open with reduced functionality.  Please go to help - 'Manage my account' to buy a subscription to continue using Lightroom. "I then clicked 'OK' and received the following message:"the Lightroom catalog called "Lightroom Catalog" cannot open another application already has its opening.  Someone can explain what that means and how can I fix this problem?  When I open the Task Manager, it does not show Adobe Lightroom as being open.  Thanks for any help!

  • Cannot open the Lightroom catalog on external drive

    Please excuse the screen name. I tried so much to during registration, but they were all taken while I was sure that it would be available.

    I'm moving from a PC to a Mac laptop.

    I copied my drive whole photo on an external drive, which is what I use with my laptop. My catalogue and photos are stored on this external hard drive and when I try to open the catalog, I get the following error:

    Lightroom does not start with this catalogue. It is on a network volume or a volume on which Lightroom is unable to save the changes. But I have no problem opening an image in Photoshop so I know not the files being copied in a readable format.

    Ideas?

    Hi somedaymetalkpretty

    I suspect that your external drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, which is normal for Windows, but impossible to write in Mac. You will need to use an external hard drive formatted to FAT32 if you want to use in Windows and Mac.

    Beat

    PS: I guess that your catalog (.lrcat file) does not exceed 4GB, otherwise you would have a problem with FAT32.

    A quick search on Google there you will find much comment but the best way to do it is to use importer opening of Lightroom. He will do and leave intact existing Aperture library. Get ready to have some storage up to do later.

  • Problem opening files in MS Paint

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on an ASUS Gaming Notebook aged 2 years.  All installed software is set up to receive the latest updates.


    About 3 days, 24/09/2012, UTC - 6 h, I started to experience problems opening files inside MS Paint.  Recently used files open without problems, but when I used the drill down menu file and clicked Open, the File Manager window opens but seemed not completely.  It stops before you post content in the panels on the left or right.  After waiting almost a minute, an error window opens saying that the Paint program does not react with the choice of activation of one of the 2 buttons, Debug or Cancel.
    Despite my system restarts and run virus scans, nothing seems to be broken.  I did, however, go through the Event Viewer to see what specifics have been involved in these accidents.  As I'm not a programmer or remotely competent in any language of software, the only elements that makes any sense to me were mspaint.exe & explorerframe.dll mentioned in Application event error reports as well as a series of numbers. (I also made the applet of Quicktime, 22, do not overwrite my selections of extension of file to default, programs installed that I read in another forum, it tends to do with files visual & audio) So now, I have several issues with that I hope other posters can help me:
    • Everyone knows that I have here and have been able to solve it?
    • Is it possible to uninstall, and then reinstall the paint? (I don't want to do a restore system b/c my last restore point was in April).
    • Any of you know how I can repair this situation or even help out there so I could fix the problem myself?
    • Is it possible to have reported this instance to Microsoft somewhere other than the generic return route?

    Thank you very much for reading and doubly so if you can shed some light on this dilemma.

    MaryBeth

    A restore point can be created manually, but when you use windows update a restore point is often automatic created in the update process.

    Simply type 'Restore' in the search text box programs & files, double-click the shortcut to "System Restore" which results in and follow the instructions (note the show more restore point box)

  • My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

    My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

    It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

    If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.

    Ive been having problems with my Lightroom 6 (desktop only version - version installation CD), so I uninstalled. But now I can not re - install. Help, please.

    It seems that you try to install the version of Windows on your Mac, that will not work.

    I haven't used a DVD for installation of Age, but I would have thought that the Mac version would also be on the disk.

    I'm not a Mac person, but I think that the executable file would have the .dmg extension.

    Or you can download the latest version - 6.4 Lightroom - from here: keeping up-to-date for Lightroom

    I hope it works better the other link you tried.
