Unable to open updated version of Lightroom

Still not able to open it. Tried Privacy/security route but found nothing to allow me to open it.

Using Lightroom

Tahoe 26.6.2

Hi ​@RICHARD COLE,

Thanks for reporting this. From your description, macOS is preventing Lightroom from opening and asking you to move the application to the Bin. This sounds like macOS security/Gatekeeper is blocking the installed Lightroom application after the update.
 

Please try the following:

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security.

2. Scroll down to the Security section.

3. Look for a message indicating that Adobe Lightroom or Creative Cloud was blocked from opening.

4. If you see it, select Open Anyway.

5. Authenticate with your Mac password/Touch ID if prompted, then try opening them again.
 

You can also try Control-clicking Lightroom in the Applications folder > Open. If macOS presents an additional security prompt, choose Open if that option is available.
 

If Lightroom is still blocked, please don’t move it to the Bin again yet. Instead, could you share:

• A screenshot of the exact macOS message you receive.

• Your macOS version.

• Whether this is Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, and the version shown in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
   

The fact that you can access Lightroom in a browser indicates that we should focus on the locally installed application rather than your Lightroom account/library.
 

Best,
Anshul Saini
