Lightroom 4 starting issues with MacOS High Sierra

I was excited with the MacOS upgrade to High Sierra but little I realised that it messed up my LR4 completely.

First it launched well but when I connected my camera to import photos, it crashed. It repeatedly happened and I realised that there must be a glitch. Mine is the 4.4.1 version. I do realise that I have lost some of my last uploaded images which I had already worked on.

I'd need full assistance in this as buying another version is completely out of my reach now.

Thank you

I'm getting the same issue when I connect my camera. With the camera not connected, Lightroom 4 seems to run ok.

Apple Photos is able to run with the camera connected and import the images. I can then import the photos from Photos to Lightroom 4. Annoying workflow.

I realize you need full assistance, but given the fact that LR 6 and High Sierra aren't getting along, you need the most recent version of LR 6 and even in that version there some features aren't working right, I doubt LR 4 and High Sierra are going to work well. But I don't know anyone who has advice for LR 4 and High Sierra at this time; and Adobe isn't going to update LR 4. So I think you are stuck in a bad place, and the best possibility I can think of is to downgrade your operating system to (regular) Sierra, if that is possible.

As I said, Adobe is not going to update LR 4. Waiting for that is not a strategy.
