Lightroom :: 5.3 Error When Reading Preview Cache?

Feb 3, 2014

I've browsed a few previous forum questions and answers and it appears I might need to find my catalog and delete my preview cache file(s).  However, I cannot find where these files are stored.  A few of the forum responses said to go into Lightroom edit/preferences to find where these files are stored, but I cannot get into Lightroom.  When I open it, it gives me the error message and I can't seem to get into edit to find where these files are stored. 
 
Also, I'm relatively new to Lightroom (been using it for a little over a month, mostly just editing and not much for cataloging and organizing my photos)

Lightroom :: Error When Reading From Preview Cache

Mar 10, 2014

i was trying to move some files via LR.I've researched and found that everyone else was able to fix their issue by moving the preview database out of LR, tried that but it doesn't fix the problem.I've moved all files except the new preview and catalog (only a single catalog)  database from the Picture/ Lightroom folder.I've rebooted the computer several times and tried opening LR, still no joy.The size of my catalog is 3.8GBThe size of the preview is 6.5GB (77,186 files in 45,745 folders).This is a new install from scratch on a new PC,

Specs are:
Intel i7 4770
32GB memory
2 x 250GB SSD drive in RAID 1 for OS and apps
1 x 6TB SATA HDD for images in a RAID 5
1 x 5.3TB SATA HDD for final images in a RAID 5
 
I've had nothing but issues with this system since day 1, images transferred and they do not show up correcting inthe individual folders (especially 2012).  Total image count is about 320,000
 
Seems to me that LR cannot handle the numbers although LR3.6 was a lot stable this version is shakey all over the place.

Lightroom :: Error Reading Preview Cache - LR Keeps Crashing And Quitting

Oct 16, 2013

I have been using LR since version 1 without problems.  I run LR 4.4 on an iMac 27 inch with an external HD - originally OSX 10.6.8.  The disk was originally firewire but I have recently changed that to a USB3.0 4tb drive.  I copied all my photos and catalogs onto that drive and it worked without problems for about 2-3 months.  Recently however I am getting crashes whereas I have never had one before.  Suddenly LR4.4 started saying that it had experienced an unknown error and had to quit.  On re-launch it wouldn't open the catalog.  In fact not only would it not open the catalog, it had left 2 files in the folder with the catalog - lrcat-journal and lrcat-lock.  Neither of these can be deleted (I get an unknown error code -50 if I try to do so).  However if I restart the computer I can then delete them.
 
I thought it might be an operating system problem and finally upgraded to OSX 10.8.5. Same problems but I noted an error message saying that there had been a problem reading from the preview cache.  I deleted the contents of a folder called Lightroom Cache and deleted my previews.  (In fact I run an identical system at another location and simply copy catalogs from one system to the other as I work on them and so I copied the previews from the other system).  This seemed to work better. 
 
But then I installed the demo of LR 5, upgraded my LR4 catalog and am having precisely the same problems.  I should say that the other system (still on 10.6.8 and an external firewire drive) has worked flawlessly since version 4 was released - and had no problems with versions 1, 2 and 3.
 
Since LR 5 is exhibiting the same problems, my only thought is that it is a problem with my USB drive.  I have run Diskwarrior on it and rebuilt the directory - no problems encountered and have run Disk Utility on it - again no problems found.  I have had no problems with the drive that I am aware of - it seems perfectly stable and behaves exactly as it should.
 
I cannot use LR 4.4 or 5 on this system.  Is there any reason why LR should have started to object to the USB drive (it is USB 3.0 and my iMac is only USB 2.0 but there is backwards compatibility).  Something is very wrong but I can't work out where to start.

Lightroom :: Encountered An Error / When Reading From Preview Cache - Needs To Quit

Dec 30, 2013

I have the 30 day trial version of Lightroom.  I was able to use it for one week, but the past 1.5-2 weeks, it has been locked up and giving this error message.  How do I resolve the problem?  And how do I reset the 30 day free trial?  I would like to have time using the product, before deciding on the annual contract.

Lightroom :: Encountered An Error When Reading Its Previous Cache And Needs To Quit

Sep 26, 2012

I keep getting this error message in LR 4: "encountered an error when reading its previous cache and needs to quit".  I've restarted my computer a few times, but it keeps coming up. I got online and found some posts that say "go in Library and " or other posts.  The problem is my LR screen is grayed out and I can't go into it at all.

Lightroom :: 3.6 - Previews In Preview Cache Specific To Image File Location?

Jan 10, 2012

Recently I reorganized my system so that my image files were on a different drive that I had previously been using a backup drive, so no additional file copying was involved. When I ran Lr it did not find any images, as expected, at the original location and I told it where to find them by pointing it to the new parent image folder. That worked fine but then it seemed as if all of the previews had to be rebuilt on the fly by Lr as I went to each folder. Could it be that the previews in the preview cache are location specific to drive/volume level rather than just folder level ?  Or is there a way to aim that ole preview cache at the new image locations ?
 
Likewise, would this apply to the ACR cache too ?  i.e. if I point Lr at the same images in the same folder names on a different drive, will the ACR cache data still be relevant or should I just scrap it and start again ?
 
I told Lr to rebuild previews for many of my images and it did so overnight, but now the preview cache is about 30GB instead of about 12GB. It's possible that I picked up previews of images that were previously not in the cache, but would the new cache still contain previews of the now non-existant images at the old locations ?
 
I have previously reverted to system backups in which the whole drive volume had previously been been copied intact. Lr always worked fine in those situations. Is my present problem because I shifted the images folder relative to the drive volume where Lr is running ?

I'm using Lr 3.6 on a 2011 MacBook Pro with Mac OSX 10.6.8.

Lightroom :: 3.6 Encountered An Error When Reading Catalogue File And Needs To Quit

May 16, 2012

Working in LR 3.6, Mac OS10.6.8, 8GB RAM, accessing from an external USB 2TB harddrive, and when opening an image I get the error:
 
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading a catalogue file and needs to quit.
 
"Lightroom will attempt to diagnose the problem the next time it launches."
 
I've run "Optimize Catalogue" and that didn't relieve the problem. Also have deleted preference files and still no joy. I also have upgrade to LR4 in hopes that it will fix the problem and it didn't. So I've removed LR4 for the time being until I can figure this out in LR3.
 
Here is a screen shot:

Photoshop :: Print Preview Cache

Oct 29, 2012

When printing I unchecked center image in PScs5 and reduced the size of my image, using the achor in the preview window, to run a test print. I'm printing to an Epson 3880.  Once I ran the test print, I returned to PS and my original image. Selected print and only the preview of the test print is there. The orginal sized image will not load in the preview window. I have deleted  the PS preferences and restarted twice. Even after moving to another machine, the profile seems to be embedded in my image. The same preview image is on the three machines I moved to.

Lightroom :: Error In Preview 32 Or 64 Bit Mode?

Jan 24, 2013

A couple of questions.  I am running the latest version of LR (4.3) in Mac OSX 10.8.2 environment.  I notice that, occasionally, the previews in Library mode do not actually represent all the true images.  When choosing "Show in Finder" the image is not as seen in the preview.  This issue rears it ugly head only occasionally.  Also, is the newest version only running in 64 bit mode? When Getting Info, I see no selection box to deselect 32 bit mode.
