upgrade problem my LR4 LR5 cat to cat

Hi all

I guess it's been here before, but I couldn't find the info I need.

I have a catalog of LR4 8 giga (about 300000 images).

just installed the new LR5 and cat opening I tried the LR4 in LR 5.

He says he needs to be upgraded, but in the middle of the prosses, I got this message:

"lightroom has encountered problems trying to update the catalog fileand format cannot use this catalogue in this version of LR.

I saw that there is an option to export all my LR4 Catalog under a new catalog and import it into LR5.

I have not tried yet since I you worry I might lose some info.

This process (export and import) will keep all my settings from LR? as to develop collections, keywords, and presets user?

I'd like to understand what are the down sides of this process.

Thank you very much

The old catalog Lr4 is perhaps too large. If you have always installed Lr4, try to divide up to several smaller catalogs by selecting 50 000 photos and make the export as catalog to your desktop. LR5 open and using import from catalog to provide one. If it was a success, delete the catalogs from the desktop.

    do you mean that you get a page Adobe Adobe ID, wondering like that? If you have followed my second just method?

    If this is the case, this isn't an obligation to subscribe to the CC, but just a completely - a free Adobe ID, email and a password which can identify you.

  • can I upgrade my LR5.cat (50 GB) or start a new one and import version 5 later?

    Just to be sure, I copied my cat LR5 on another disk. I don't really know if I can still access my LR5.cat with LR5 after lightroom CC did the upgrade. Any advice is welcome.

    Your LR catalog is a file with the extension .lrcat and is certainly not anywhere close to 50GB and LRCC will be upgraded seamlessly. Your photo files that can easily be 50 GB or more are not affected and will be very well. That said, it's always a good idea to make sure that all files are saved permanently.

  • Problems of extraction LR5.6 upgrade files after download

    Hello!

    I just finished installing an upgrade of the LR5 from a DVD.

    After that, I downloaded the last update that I have this case is LR5.6.

    My problem is that I can not extract the files in the upgrade.

    I just got a message from the installer tells me that there is a problem of extracting some files and check that there is enough memory on my computer. The message is also suggest to check that I'm authourized to use the target for extraction.

    I reinstalled LR5, I tried to download a new upgradefolder several times, I tried to extract it in different folders.

    There is enough memory and my computer meets the requirements. (I am the administrator of course.)

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    Felix

    PS below is an image of the message I get when trying to extract the files (in Swedish though).

    Jeff. You lead me in the right direction already with your last email that made me uninstall LR5 and go directly to LR5.6. It worked. Lr5.6 now us running.  Thank you for your question that made me think!

  • Import of part of the catalogue of LR4 LR5 in

    I recently bought a subscription to LR5 and PSCC license. The software downloaded and installed without any problems. They have installed separately from my LR4 and PSCS5 software rather than upgrades. I imported my LR4 LR5 catalogue without any problem. I have imported new photos and retouched in LR5 and it works perfectly. Then I made a mistake. I accidentally opened LR4, imported images from a shoot and edited images.

    Once I realized what I had done, I opened LR5 and resynced my directory where the new images subdirectory. The new directory of images have been imported in place for the LR5 catalog. However, I have no any done LR4 fixtures and don't know how to do this without messing up the work I did in LR5. I found a different catalog import on the file menu, but afraid to use it until I make sure, it will not damage the work I already did in LR5.

    Not sure if I explained the problem? Anyway, your help is greatly appreciated.

    Dave

    In Lightroom 4, select the photos you want, and then the file-> export in the new catalogue.

    In Lightroom 5, remove from Lightroom (but not the hard drive) the pictures you do not want that you just imported, then the file-> import an another catalog and point for the exported file in the LR4 catalogue.

    Yes, you can buy Lightroom without subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud.

    To purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6 from a previous version, please see this link: products .  Scroll to lightroom and click 'buy '. Then click on the selectable text next to "I want to:" and select "upgrade". In the drop-down list, select the version that you are upgrading.  I hope that help.

    I just got an upgrade DVD Amazon's LR5.  There is no option .pkg for installation on a MacBook Pro.  Only setup32.exe, and setup32.64.  What should I do?

    You can try to download the Mac version and using the serial number of the drive.  LR serial numbers are normally good for both platforms.

  • Mac App Store, upgrade to the purchased Lr5 Lr4. Now migrated to the new Mac. No Lr4 to validate the installation of the LR5

    A few years ago, I buy Lr4 via the Mac App Store. And later, I bought LR5 upgrade through Adobe online.

    Today, I have a new Mac and I've logged into my account adobe and redownloaded Lr5 and got the serial number. But when I install it it asks Lr4 serial number which I don't have and never had. I read the article on how to do it and it says that it requires the presence of the version of the App Store or the Lr4 at installation time. But I have more that I have unintalled some time ago and Adobe has removed from the App Store so I can't redownload it. So, I'm stuck.

    Any ideas?

    OK then read this article.

    Adobe Lightroom 4 brings the Mac App Store | Macworld

    It says clearly,

    In a blog post on the Adobe Web site, the company noted that the price of upgrade for future versions of Lightroom are not available for those who buy the Mac App Store version, due to the current lack of Apple for the support of such a system; In addition, users can receive updates later than they would through Adobe.

    So I guess you'll have to pony up the full price of $149 for Lightroom 5.

    You could try to go to help > Lightroom registration click on the next button, see if there is a serial number entered (it will be stars *) then go head and register. Once registered, the serial number should appear on the Adobe Web site once you have logged in with your Adobe ID

  • LR3-&gt; LR5 upgrade problems

    I bought the LR5 as a disc to the Amazon upgrade. Previously I had installed on my MAC OSX 10.9.4 LR3. Installing the drive reported ok. After you insert the serial number, the serial number original LR3 is, but if I hit continue lr5 disappears without any other message. Next time I start LR5, it starts to ask the serial number...

  • LR 5 disc upgrade problem

    I LR4 on my IMac and bought LR5 disk upgrade, but the computer will not read the disc. Disk is correct, as I uprageded successfully on Macbook pro. I got LR5b on Imac but poured this program in the trash, thinking that there may be a conflict.

    Don't know what to do next any advice?

    Why the simple things are difficult?

    Graham

    Copy the installation on an external hard disk drive or usb files and use the reader on your imac.  or if you follow the 7 steps you can dl a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/lightroom-5-ddl-comparison-vs-lr4.html

    and activate it with your serial number.

    If you have a problem dl'g, you don't follow all 7 steps.  the most common mistake is not meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

    If you try to install CS5.5 you don't need to have CS4 installed, but you will need the serial number of the CS4 versions as the eligible version when you go to activate CS5.5.

  • Upgrade problems 4 LR LR 5.4 from the adobe website.

    I tried this morning to determine what the problem is. I upgraded LR 4from the Adobe with LR5.4 website, I turned off my computer and restarted. When I opened 5.4 (I know I open this one) I always get the same mounting as for 4 boards. All new features are not yet present. I imported my library from 4, during the installation process when the guest came. What is going on? How should I do?

    The photos that have been addressed in previous versions of open process in Lightroom 5 with the cursors of previous versions of process.

    In the develop module, select a photo, and then click Settings-> process of-> 2012 (attention: this may cause the appearance of the photo to change)

    newly imported photos should show the new process with the new sliders (unless you have an active preset that prevents this)
