Lightroom :: Cannot Open Catalogue On CD
May 8, 2012
I need to export a catalogue for a college assignment and burn to CD. The export had a slight hiccup with conflicts in metadata for 2 of the dng files, but I just overwrote the data. The main problem is when I burned the files to CD and tried opening the catalogue on the CD I get the following error:
"lightroom cannot open the catalog named "..." located on volume DVD RW Drive (E:) because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location"
What am I doing wrong? I'm using LR3.4, and running Win Vista on my laptop at home. Is it an issue with my pc? Should I use the Mac's in college instead? I need to know soon as the assignment is due 11 May 2012 (this fri).

I have changed from 32 bit pc to 64 bit and can't open my previous catalogue, I get an error message saying catalogue might be open and used with another program (which it isn't) or I might need permissions.......

I have been using lightroom 5 today and it suddenly asked me to update my catalogue to LR5, which I did and now I cannot open up the programme at all.

I am currently using LR 4 and am unable to open a catalog outside of LR. When I attempt to open a catalog from where it is stored in My Photos I get two dialog boxes (attached screen shots). The only way I can open a catalog is to open LR and go to Open Recent. I keep catalogs for every year and export that year of photos as a catalog and store it where I keep the photos. Up until a few months ago I was able to go to the folder of the year I wanted to open, double click the LR catalog and voila! No problems. The catalog opened.

I store my new photo files in my own file system (date and order of taking). It is this I want access to not to some new catalogue which Lightroom seems to require. Is there any way to open Lightroom and go to my files without having to create a new catalogue which I do not want or need? Also I have a separate partition for cache for Photoshop CS5 which I also use to finish off my work. Photoshop purges its files when I exit but Lightroom seems to leave files still in there which I then have to delete manually. Am I missing some prefernce which Lightroom will do on closing?

I made a mistake and attempted to install LRcc on mac os 10.6.8. I now understand that this in not supported. Now, when I go back to LR 4, it will open some catalogues, but not the one with the most work in it. Naturally, I have done quite a bit of work since my most recent backup.

If not, is there a plug in that would do that? I need to select, then combine photos from different catalogues into a new one.

Lightrooms crashed, which is a common occurrance. But, this last time was different. After I restarted it my catalog was not linked and all my settings were gone. I tried opening the catalog through the file menu, but absolutely nothing happens. I tried going to the folder and clicking on it but this only opens lightroom with no catalog. After having scanned this forum I found that I need to delete the .lock file, but after doing that the same things happen. how to open my catalog? Will reinstalling Lightroom work?

I am installing LR4. I tried to update the catalog.I received the message that LR encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom. When I click on the See Adobe Technote button, I received the message that that file is unavailable from the Adobe Website. I don't want to loose all my catalog information from my previous instralling of LR2.7.

I have been using Photoshop elements for many many years and am now looking to use Lightroom as an Interface.
At the moment, I have a Folder structure on my computer. At the Top I have Photos. Under Photos I have 43 additional Folders such as ( Cindi/Ivan Pictures, Cory & Jess Pictures, Barry & Janie Pictures, etc..) Now for each of these folders, such as Cory & Jess Pictures, I have a set of folders basically broken down by month/year. Now in a Given Month/Year Folder, I have a set of folders with each one containing the pictures of a given event that occurred ( birthday, trip, etc…). Guess my initial question is how do I get these pictures into a Lightroom Catalog and do I continue to use the same Structure.
Another example - Under the Barry/Janie Pictures Folder, one of the many Folders in this Folder is called Trips. Inside the Trips folder, I have folders for every major trip that Janie & I have taken since 2004 (21 different folders) (For example there is an Isreal Folder). The Israel Folder is made up of a set of folders, for each individual event or place that we visited during our Trip - i.e. 59 different folders. How would this Trips Folder be brought into Lightroom?

Got the <Unexpected error opening catalogue> dialog when starting Lightroom 5.2. Will not allow me to save a new catalogue. Deleted old catalogue thinking that might prompt Lightroom to create a new catalogue or allow me to create and save a new one.Create Folder with New Catalogue allows me to enter a new catalogue name but then Select Catalogue dialog box is empty. Program wont open!

I'd like to move my existing LR catalog and keywords from 2.7 to my LR 5 catalog. I am using a windows PC, my mac stopped working last month.
What I want is to end up with 1 catalog with all my photos in LR 5 with all my previous edits from LR 2.7 and the keywords as well. By the way, my LR 5 has photos in it as well.

After a recent hard disc failure I have reinstalled LR3 and upgraded to 3.6. The catalogue has been recovered from backup but LR is not seeing it and I have been unable to discover from within LR where it expects the catalogue files to be.

I will giving a presentation on editing options to our photographic society in a couple of weeks. One of members raised this question to me.
He is currently using PSE 10 to manage around 11,000 photos. He is getting into problems with the data base crashing and is looking at moving to Lightroom. He has been told that there is no way to make the transfer and will need to wait for LR 4 for a fix.

I'm trying to import a catalogue into Lightroom 4.4. The catalogue I'm importing has 3397 images but only 1806 of these images have been imported. I tried to reimport, but the import dialogue box won't let me tick any of the boxes. With the preview window open in the import dialogue box it seems that some images are missing, yet they are all there when I go to the folder. The images and catalogue I'm trying to import are on my desktop. I have verified and repaired disk permissions after clearing my caches.

when I open Lightroom (4.1, Win7 64bit), it seems to revert to a previous time, losing recent changes, my last imports and edits, for example.
If I go to 'resynch folder', all my files are there, showing, say, 3,500 when my present catalog shows 3000. When I do resynch, all my labels, keywords etc edits are still present on both the 'missing' files and the ones still present in the catalog which had lost their edits.

I just returned from a six-week trip with lots of photos. Used my laptop with an external HD on which I had the trip catalog and files. When I connect the HD to the Desktop and open the trip catalog, I get the message that the catalog cannot be used because it is not writable and cannot be opened. Maybe because of incorrect pemissions or that catalog is being used by another application. Checked the permissions, seems OK, not being used by another application.

inadvertently, i established my lr5 catalogue in my c drive. I managed to move my catalogue over to my f drive,but seemed to delete the lr5 catalogue that i have on the c drive. I thought i had deleted it from the c drive but when i open up preference and general under catALOGUE SETTINGS it will come up with the catalogue as still being on the c drive. when i open up the f drive the lr cat will show up with the three files in it so i evidently moved the files successfully. How can i rectify this permanently so the lr5 cat is not in the c drive?

I'm trying to import my PSE catalogu into Lightroom3. However, LR will only offer the (old) PSE9 catalogue. I have several catalogues in PSE10 and need to import at least the largest one.

I am unable to use Lightroom as I have the message "The lightroom catalogue cannot be opened because another application already has it open".I believe I have to look in whatever directory your catalogue is in and deleting the lock file with the same name as your catalogue.I am using Windows 7.

What viewing and/or editing capability will exist if the Lightroom catalog (not the full image files but only the previews) are exported and installed on a laptop? I would like to vuew the images while traveling and do minor editing but the complete image files are too extensive to transfer to the laptop. The comntempated procedure is to export as a catalog with neagtive files unchecked but available previews checked.
