Lightroom won't open on mac after install

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about the trouble.

Which version of the app did you download? What happens when you try to open it? Do you see any error messages? Did you try creating a new user account on your Mac and launching Lightroom from there?

Please ensure that Lightroom has the necessary permissions on macOS by following the below-mentioned steps:

1. Go to the System Preferences for your Mac, then Security and Privacy, then select the Privacy tab.

2. Select Accessibility from the list to the left & check if Lightroom is added to the list with a checkmark in front of it.

3. If Lightroom is not a part of the list, please add it by unlocking the window first using the lock at the bottom left, then clicking the + icon & navigating to the Applications folder.

4. Also, grant permissions to Lightroom under Full disk access located in the same list as Accessibility.

5. Once done, restart the Mac & check if it helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Ranjisha
