    Hey, ​@Prescott Dale. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I am sorry for the trouble you've had with this issue.

    Did Lightroom close normally the last time it worked, or is this a fresh installation on this machine? Try these steps to get Lightroom to launch:

    • Reset Lightroom by holding the OPT + SHIFT when you launch Lightroom and select 'Yes'.
    • Ensure Lightroom Classic has the required permissions on macOS: https://adobe.ly/3DyUwsz
    • Go to the following location to launch Lightroom via the terminal.
      In Finder > Application Folder > Open Lightroom Classic Folder > Right-click on Lightroom .app > Show Package Contents > Contents > macOS > Lightroom—double-click to open.

    Share the log of what you see in the terminal window when Lightroom Launches. 

     

    Let me know how it goes. 

    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for caring and posting Sameer K.  I finally got an Adobe agent to answer and got the problem solved.  It was a combination of Tahoe and Adobe password.  Not sure exactly what the total fix was but the Agent knew what to do.  Now all is well.   Dale
