I updated from LR 4.3 to LR 4.4 and now I can't start lightroom. It hangs at startup with the LR info tile displayed over the main window. This is on Windows 7 64 bit. Windows also has a hard time killing the app/process. Is it possible to safely downgrade to 4.3 ?
View 2 RepliesI installed Gimp 2.8 for Windows tonight on an XP SP3 system and it hangs for more than 30min when starting (never completes initializing). Gimp 2.8 takes 50% CPU and 184Mb RAM and sits "Gathering Data" with no further progress. I end up killing the process.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled into a fresh directory with no change. I gave up and tried to reinstall 2.6 and get almost the same issue except RAM usage goes up to 550Mb and it sits at the startup screen.
Looks like something to do with 360 is cause C3D2013 to hang on startup. I have to kill the AcSettingSync.exe service to in Resource Monitor to make 2013 un-freeze.

I have Autodesk Inventor 2013 Design Suite. Everything has been working fine until my subscription ran out.

I close the program, detach and reattach the camera and get another 4 or 5 photos. So if I have a bust day of shooting I have to go throgu this process many times to get of my photos imported.

This is a Vista machine with plenty of horsepower and disk. I've re-installed LR, rebooted, etc. Importing into a brand new catalog works perfectly. Importing into another application works perfectly. The problem arose seemingly out of nowhere. Never had a problem, went out of town for a few days, returned with some pictures, and then no import into my existing catalog.
Ever since my copy of Lightroom updated from 4.3 to 4.4 I've had TERRIBLE trouble importing RAW files. After pressing "IMPORT" the program will hang (showing as "Not Responding" in the Window Top-bar and in Task Manager) for 90 minutes or more. This is to import just 4 or 5 files. I'm running on: Intel Core I5-2500k, 3.30Ghz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit...I never had this trouble with 4.3 and no other features of my set-up have changed except my Lightroom version.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems with Lightroom 4.4 and importing photos from an external hard drive. I've worked with this configuration for years with no problem. I've been working with 4.4 since it was released as an RC, no issues. It started to be very slow to move into the import modual/function. Then it would hang every time and no sources for import would come up and the program would just stop and I'd get the "not responding" message. I thought it might be a corrupt catalog so I tried one of my backup catalogs, I tried different catalogs all together. I deleted the preference file and that seemed to be the beginning of the end for my current installation. When I tried to open Lightroom (via the catalog file) after deleteting the preference file it was like Lightroom couldn't/wouldn't rewrite the file and open. It would hang. Eventually I did get it to open up but I had to walk away and let it work on opening for a good 10 minutes. It finally came up but was too slow to work with. I gave up and decided to uninstall it and download and install again. It is still wonky and slow and will not import photos at all. I know it is difficult to diagnose something like this but I'm at my wits end. I've used Lightroom since the very beginning and I've come to be quite dependant on it. I just don't even know where to look to figure this out. I've browsed around for import problems but haven't found a whole lot of information or examples. Oh I should mention I tried creating a new empty catalog on my internal hard drive in case the problem somehow was with the external drive but that isn't the case. Actually I have catalogs on a few different external drives. It doesn't matter where the photos are, Lightroom is not happy at the moment. It barely responds to any input and crashes if I try to import photos. I also uninstalled and disabled my Carbonite because I know that can cause problems with some programs and I am desperate to get Lightroom going again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had this problem before, thought I had cured it, but it has come back. At the end of a slideshow, I always add this slide.
Slideshow will hang up on export encoding the frame for this image, or the last one before it. Before when I had this problem, I had always stored it as a jpeg and just coppied it into the folder of images to be included in the slideshow. Thinking it must be a corrupted file of some sort, although it will open fine in CS5, I created a new image and stored it as a tiff. I then would open it in CS5, and 'save as' a new jpeg in the image folder. Now, no matter what I do, sometimes it will work fine, and sometimes it will hang up. LR 4.1 just sits there. No error message. Just will not complete the final frames. Very frustrating to wait an hour or more for it to create a slideshow and it hangs at the last image. I am on a Vista Home Premium machine.
System hangs-up when Cropping in Lightroom 5
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince installing Lightroom 5, the program hangs during the import process. I never had this issue with Lightroom 4, but recently had a system crash and lost my former catalog. There are about 140,000 images to be imported from a 3TB hard drive.
I'm running a PC with 24 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SSD boot drive and a dedicated 128 GB SSD dirve for Photoshop/Bridge/Lightroom cache.
I have a problem with LR3. After completing a video I go to Export Slide Show to Video. After rendering and encoding, the program stops at the last slide and does nothing. It means that I cannot use LR for videos or time lapse.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAbout every other time I open Lightroom or switch the catalog, Lightroom will hang. Usually some thumbnails from the catalog will be visible; if it was after starting Lightroom, the splashscreen remains visible.
I am using Lightroom 5.3 64bit on Windows 7. (The problem was already there with Lightroom 3.6, but not quite as frequently)
My main catalog has about 14.000 pictures, a second catalog about 10.000. The problem exists with both catalogs.
Sometimes, deleting all previews works, sometimes the catalog remains unopenable.
I have rebuild my catalog from scratch several times (losing all virtual copies and edit histories).
The least-data-loss method seems to be to rename the catalog directory, so Lightroom will create a new empty one. Then import all photos from the old renamed catalog.
What I have tried so far, to no avail:
- Upgrading from LR 3.6 to 5.3.
- New hardware (Mainboard/CPU/RAM/Power supply; CPU: AMD->Intel, Graphics: nVidia->Intel).
- Reinstalling Lightroom
- Deleting Preferences file
- Moving pictures from network drive to a local harddisk.
- Moving pictures and catalog to a different hard disk (physical, not just other partition).
- Stopping all unneeded services and processes, down to a bare minimum.
There is not a whole lot of other software running on my machine: Dropbox, iTunes background services, Spyder3 monitor calibration, MS Security Essentias, Epson Print driver Icon. No toolbars, desktop-apps or what have you.
My Lightroom starting freezing recently. It says the program is not responding. I was on the phone with Tech Support two days ago. They re-loaded the program and I re-imported the catalog and it worked as usual, but today again the same problem surfaced; upon start-up of the program it locks up and if I click anywhere in the Lightroom window it says the program is not responding and whites out moments later a Window's message says the program is not responding giving me choices of "Close the program" or wait till it responds, which it never does. I see others that are having a similar issue with 4.2 . I have a Gareway computer with Windows 7 64 bit.

With Lightroom 5 the web galleries I have previously created and uploaded and as well the customer user presets I have created OR the standard templates are now ALL hanging and failing during the "Upload Web Photo Gallary after exporting all the images, etc.
The app does report the folders and files exist on the server so it must be logging in succesfully and parsing files and directories etc?
It then goes off and is looping around "Building Web Photo Gallery" and after about 5 plus minutes it fails with a " an error occured sending the file: connection to the server failed"
Which is probably just because it is broken and then times out because of failure.
I have checked, triple checked, changed passwords and also later uploaded FTP files and etc and actually am now having to EXPORT the whole gallery locally via LR5 and then FTP by hand the whole thing to the website.
EVERYTHING works great except Lightroom 5 is now broken for this task to me. All I did was send money to upgrade and install product and upgrade libraries.......so i can't go back right?
I am running 4.3 for Mac as trial version. When I try to import, the status bar goes to 100% but does not finish. So import hangs.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEach time I boot up the computer, or restart the computer, and each time I connect any USB device to the computer, LR 5 starts up. If there are images on a USB drive (or camera, or phone) I'm connecting - for example, to recharge the cell phone - LR 5 immediately tries to import those images. I almost never want that sort of automatic importing. I can turn off LR and "skip backup" - but there must be some setting which will allow me to have control of when LR opens and when it tries to import.
This happens on the LR 5 installation on my desktop computer, but not on the LR 5 installation on my laptop computer. Both installations are activated with valid reg codes.

I've left the import up for more than 5 minutes (someone mentioned that LR4 is slow): I never got the import done.
When I click the "X" at the end of the import thermometer, I get a message (in that location) that the import is canceled. The display in the main window (where the image would appear) still says "importing files". I have to quit LR4 and start it up again to do anything else.
I was previously using LR3.6, that used to work fine. I tried going back to LR3.6 to import some files I recently shot: now LR3.6 does the same thing as LR4 (hangs when I try to import Nikon Electronic Format files).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine running Lightroom 5. I am having problems running certain Publish Services and also while trying to import from another catalog. On Publish Services - I am able to publish to a remote desktop but not to my own network. I have also been seeing issues with publishing to SmugMug (since before they updated their site).
Similarly, I am trying to merge some catalogs and when I import from another catalog, the process seems to hang about halfway through (I left it running all night long - the catalog is large but not THAT large!). The process did bring in what seems like most files so I wonder what I am missing.
I find it very inconvienent to have lightroom shutdown and restart every time I switch catalogs. I'm sure programing to eliminate that has got to be simpler than all the wonderful stuff we can do to our images.
