Lightroom :: Moved Catalog And Now Won't Open It By Default?
Feb 15, 2013
I'm running LR2 (I know, first step, UPGRADE!), but in the meantime, I had to move my catalog because my drive got full. Under the Backup dialog box I chose the new location. But when I just click on the LR icon to open the program it opens with the default C: drive catalog location that it first installed with. Then I open the specific catalog from in the program and relaunch it. I have LR set to bring the dialog box everytime I start LR since I don't use it everyday. So I back it up when the dialog comes up and when it's done it goes right back to the default catalog with none of my library in there. Why do I have to keep opening the catalog manually?

New computer. Moved catalog to essentially same location but moved from external drive to the main drive. Searching "find" does not seem to do anything. How do I redirect?

I moved my lightroom 3.6 catalog to a new machine ( a Win7 machine so I could upgrade to version 4 and 5). When I did that photos that I had tagged as RED came over without the RED color and just a white box in the lower right-hand corner of the grid view.

I have a Canon 6D and recently purchased Lightroom 4.4 so that I could open my Canon RAW files. They do open in Lightroom, but when I move them to PHotoshop CS4 I can't open the files. I get a message telling me I can't open them.

Is there any way to make the catalog display the pictures by Folder Location, rather than by Thumbnail view, every time I reopen it?

I'm running LR3.5 on OSx10.5.8 and recently I've lost the ability to import new photos (from hdd). My default catalog (so far I've been using only one) contains appx.33k photos and I can't import new shots. Yesterday I was shooting tethered camera and everything went fine. Today I wanted to import new files (from hdd) and noticed that "import button" is completly inactive. Dead. I set up a new catalog and managed to process todays photos but when I'm switching to previous catalog the "import" button is still dead.

I was importing into LR3 for the first time and while I was filling out info (renaming files), my MAC started to pinwheel. Finally I was forced to "force quit". Now when I try to relaunch LR from my alias or the HD it gives me this message; "LIghtroom cannot use the catalog because it is not writeable and cannot be opened".

I can't open a certain LR catalog. It actually opens briefly, but then LR crashes within 5 seconds. No warning or dialog box shows up, the program just disappears.
I can open other catalogs, but these are old and are of no use to me. I have also deleted my preferences, but to no avail.
Is there any way to repair a corrupted catalog if you can't even keep it open?

I was working on an LR5 catalog yesterday (which I unfortantely didn't back up) and today it won't open. I don't even get an error message or a repair option, all LR does, is open a small grey window. LR is leaving the lock file after I close it down, but even after deleting it and restarting the computer LR won't open the catalog (which is on an external harddrive).

I've used LR since 2.0 and upgraded easily each time. I've purchased and loaded 5.3. Clicking on LR5 icon from desktop brings up message that my catalog named "xxx".
Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below. The previews will also be moved to this location and converted for use in LR 5.
I click "UPGRADE" and after a few hours of watching the little green line progress across the monitor nothing works" I've done this twice and rebooted the PC.

For the past 2 months, I have been working on images in LR 4.2. As of this morning, I am unable to open my LRCAT file. The error screen tells me the requested catalog is being used by another LR program. HUH? I have opened my Task Manager (windows 7) and nothing is running. I don't want to loose all the work on the images I have done up to this point.

Just upgraded to 3.6 and using Windows Vista 64bit. When I go to open a recent catalog I keep getting prompted to back-up the catalog eventhough the selected time between back-ups has not elapsed. It just always prompts me to create a backup whenever I exit the catalog or LR. When viewing catalog A and swithing to catalog B and exiting, when I start LR again it opens with catalog A instead of B. I re-checked the settings and LR is set to open to the previous catalog but it is not doing so.

"The Lightroom catalog named Tamara & Nate cannot be opened because another application already has it opened."
Is what I get everytime.
I'm getting this over and over again.
Re-started lightroom and my computer it doesn't go away.

I tried to import a photo from a file on my computer. The Lightroom 3.6 program shut down. When I try and open the program, a message appears that says "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: DSC_2155.lrcat
Immediately after that appears on my screen a box appears that says "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working" underneath it reads "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Of course I never get notified and a solution is never available. I've tried deleting Lightroom and reloading the program but the same problem occurs.

I'm running LR 4.1 with ACR 7.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.
I then open another catalog and do some stuff in the catalog but when I start LR next time it keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it either opens the most recent catalog or I get prompted for which catalog I'd like to open (I've tried both settings) and LR still keeps opening the same catalog.

I am having problems running Lightroom. I re-installed and I get a windows error.
I used the trial for only one day. I received my serial number and re-installed and
I still get a windows error saying the application has stopped working. Lightroom begins by trying to open a Catalog with a .JPG.lrcat extention. I don't have that file and not sure why it continues to try to open that file when I uninstalled Adobe Lightroom and removed it's file directory. I also cleaned out my recycle bin recommended by the readme file.

I have an old computer running LR 3.6. I have downloaded, installed and entered my serial number for LR 4.4 on my new computer. Can I simply copy my 3.6 catalog to the new computer and open it with LR 4.4?

I cannot open LR4. I get an, "Unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error." This occurred after a WIN7 update failed. It restored the system to an earlier version. In doing so, it also reverted LR4.2 to LR4.1. I have seen other threads to open a different catalog and/or create a new. The problem is that once I go to "Choose a different catalog", I get the Windows screen where I can select my backup. I select the backup catalog and click "Open". The window goes away, but the underlying LR "Select a Catalog" window still only shows 1 catalog to open.....my original catalog. The backup doesn't show up in the list. (The backup is not a network drive and it is not read-protected.)
I then try the "Create a new catalog", get the Windows screen, enter a new name and click "Save". The same thing happens. The Windows screen goes away and the LR "Select a Catalog" window still shows the orignal catalog in the list. Thus, I cannot create nor choose a different catalog.

We are attempting to run Lightroom in our photo journalism classes and we are unable to setup the application because it will not create the Catalog file.
All of the users in Open Directory have their OSX 10.8 home folder stored on our Apple Server. This enabled them to log into any of the computers in the lab and have access to their data/documents.
Lightroom refuses to create the Catalog file because it treats the home folder as a network folder.
My predecessor found some way around this in the past but he didn't document it and I can't find any evidence of it either.
Surely there are other people out there trying to use Adobe Products who also utilize Apple's "Open Directory" (its like apple's version of Active Directory).

I merged a small catalog with my master catalog and I am unable to open the master catalog. The error message reads "The Lightroom catalog named “master_catalog-2” cannot be opened because another application already has it opened.". There are no other applications running the catalog.

I just installed my Photoshop CS Version 8 into Windows 7 on a new PC. When the program is opened, the File Browser icon does not toggle, and I have to go to File menu to open Browse.
The browser window now cannot be moved, maximized, or closed. The same applies to any image that is opened. Notwithstanding, all the functions of Photoshop are working OK. Since Adobe no longer supports this version
