Lightroom Classic will not open on my MAC

Report · Mar 17, 2024

When I try yo open LrC the splash screen appears for a few seconds but the app doesn't open. I'm using a MAC running Sonoma 14.0. Incidentally Photoshop opens fine and I have checked my Adobe account to make sure that my subscription is still in place.

Any ideas?

You can try updating your macOS and make sure you are running the latest version of Lightroom Classic.

Thanks, but both my Mac OS and LrC are up to date.

Any other ideas?

I have also tried deleting the Lighroom plist files and even deinstalled and reinstalled LrC but nothing happens!

Try resetting the LrC preferences. They do not get deleted with a re-install.

I believe the issue was because, somehow, my Mac had deleted my Local Documents folder and the only way I could reinstate it was to rebuild my Mac completely from scratch!

Grrrrrrr!
