why my Lightroom 4 program will not open? Yesterday it worked fine. Today I get a message that "an unexpected error occurred". If I try to repair the Lightroom 4 program in the control panel, I get the message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". SO much of my work is sitting in those catalogs.
View 1 RepliesI used to have all my photos on an external hard drive along with my lightroom catalog file. I recently transfered them all to my main harddrive on my imac and linked them and everything so they all show up and i can access them. However now when i try and export them they are saying "An unexpected end-of-file occured" and thats it. Also some of the photos have like a ulticolored streak through them and what not. They where literally working before i moved them...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Its Lightroom 5.2 64 bit

View 9 Replies View RelatedLR 5, not 5.2, is giving me "Unexpected error opening catalog" with the suggestion I attempt to open another catalog. All my recent catalogs give me this error.
I'm using Windows 7 with fully adequate ram and storage. The program was working OK until today.
I back up daily and that always includes optimization. I did find an earlier catalog that comes in successfully.
The Lightroom program demands lots of hours of study and work and if errors like this are frequent I'll have to reconsider its usefulness for my photography.
I recently built a new PC dedicated to my photo work.
i7 2600k, 16gb DDR 3 ripjaws, 128GB crucial m4 SSD, (2) x 1TB 7200 HDDs (mirrored), Sapphire Radeon HD 5570.The first month or so of use LR worked great. However, recently I have been getting several errors and oddities.
1) Randomly closes. I can restart it without a problem and pick back up where I left off. There are not warnings or signs that it is about to close.. it just does.
2) "Unexpected end of file". Unable to edit photo. Preview does show, however. I have never seen this error before on other machines.
3) Memory dumps. I assume this is related to LR3 as that is the only program I am actively using when it happens (Chome is always open as well, however) I will have the dump files examined to know for sure.
4) Something new that just started today. In the preview bar on the bottom, as I scroll through the photos I see the previews of other photos.. some photos from other folders I took weeks or months ago. When I hover over the image it changes to what it should be.1 with a photo from this particular shoot and one from one I did over a month ago. Everything I scroll back and forth (rapidly or not) as the previews load it loads the wrong files first, multiple times (around 8 or 9 in a row) and then they slowly change to what it should be.
I am not sure if I am properly describing this error but it is really weird.Also, this seems to only happen on the images off a CF card. I was borrowing a friends D200 as a 2nd body for a party. When I scroll through the images off my SD card I do not see the issue appear. When I get to the CF portion of the folder is when I see the problem..I just updated LR today but these issues occured prior to the update and still exist afterwards.
Do I need to do a fresh install of LR?What precautions do I need to take in doing so to insure my catalogue stays intact?
I cannot open one of my catalogs in Lightroom 4 .
It's a large catalog, created in LR4, and it's always worked fine. It lives on an external hard drive (along with all the pictures in that catalog).
The other night, I set another hard drive down and touched the first drive, accidentally disconnecting it from the computer while LR was open (or possibly while LR was in the process of opening).
When I reconnected the drive and tried to open the catalog again, I received a message that the catalog couldn't be opened since it was open in another application. (Nothing else was open or using it, obviously.)
I researched the internet, found a suggestion, and removed the .lock file from the catalog folder. NOW I am getting the message "Unexpected error opening catalog. The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error."
---- IF I have to reload the software, do I lose anything? Do I lose my edits, my history, my preferences?
I want to preserve the history of all of the edited photographs, not just the "composite LR adjustment" or whatever you call it... some of the folders of pictures have matching .xmp files and some do not. I think this might be due to a preferences change a few months after I created the catalog - I guess it doesn't apply this change retroactively, or perhaps it would have had I opened those folders... not sure. I had backed up the original RAW files (which are still present on the external hard drive and seem just fine), but the catalog hasn't been backed up recently. I think I have to re-install LR4, and I just want to make sure I can keep all the work I've done.
i am getting "unexpected error opening catalog" message when opening a catalog that worked fine 2 days ago. Other catalogs open on the same drive Mac pro LR5.3 ..Lots of worked had gone into that catalog.

I've been running LR 4.1 for a few weeks without a hitch.
Just now I tried to open it and I got an 'Unexpected error opening catalog' message. Since there is only one catalog, I chose 'Choose a different catalog' and created a new one. LR opened fine then.
However, I could not open the existing catalog, even from within LR.
Holding down the Alt key before clicking the LR icon in the System Tray opens a window headed LR 4.1 64-bit Properties. There are various tabs in the window. I'm not sure what I should be doing with any of them. If I click on OK at the bottom of the window, nothing happens.
Finally, in C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4/ the Master Catalog.ircat is visible. But, just below this, in /Lightroom 4.1, there is no Master Catalog.ircat. Is this normal?
How do I correct this error, "The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error."?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought Silver Efex pro 2 after uninstalling a pirated version my sister downloaded. When I try to edit a photo in Silver Efex 2 through Lightroom 4 a box comes up and says unexpected error performing command: bad argument #1 to lower (string expected, got nil). I am not good with computers.
Also is there any way to restore factory defaults all throughout Lightroom. Maybe doing that and reinstalling Silver Efex would work? Even when I deleted the pirated version of Silver Efex the Silver Efex still showed up in the Edit In box. I need to get that one to go away so the new Silver Efex will appear in Edit in box I guess.
we downloaded lightroom from are cloud account and we keep getting this error occurred when attempting to change modules.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to export a 97 page book filled mostly with images to pdf. There are a several pages with solid text. Halfway through Lightroom's saving process, it pops up with "An error occurred while saving the book: an error occurred adding text and fonts to the book."
All the images are in one folder, I have made sure LR is locating the images correctly, and the font is the default myriad pro.
Lightroom 5.3 on Mac OS 10.9.1
After I have re-imported a corrupted xml file with print templates, LR starts with error "An error occured while trying to switch between modules" (or so, translated from german).This happens after selecting a catalog - however, regardless of the catalog choosen (even after creating a new one).Funny enough, for other users on the same system, the problem does not occur.
-> What can I do to get rid of the problem?
-> Do I have to reinstall / change or delete files?
I'm trying to get user created profiles for my Sony cameras and lenses, as LR doesn't have very many built in.
I need to install the profile downloader, which downloads as a ".air" file. I've uninstalled Adobe Air and reinstalled the latest version but when I try to install the "Adobe_Lens_Profile_Downloader_1_0_1.air" file I get the message:
an error has occurred.
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
I get this message even after 3 attempts to unistall and re-install lr5. I even deleted the downloads and re-downloaded it twice to make sure. It will not let me import or do anything.I an trying to do the free trial so I can decide between this or Aperture. If I cannot run the trial, I wonder if I will be able to run the full version! I will be using this in conjunction with nik soft or topaz, and need to know if everything will play nice together.
