New MacBook Pro, LR Classic Crashing Multiple Times and Crashed Computer

[drewmarshall]

Hi all! I just picked up a new MacBook Pro 8-core in hopes that my workflow would be greatly improved over my previous 2014 model. Overall, it is. But last night I was editing in LR and a few things happened.

1) After making an HDR image, LR said that some of the original files were "corrupt" and the HDR file was inaccessible. After trying a few times it worked.

2) While using the spot removal tool, and also while culling images, LR inexplicably quit. One of the times this happened, my entire MacBook turned off and restarted. What the heck!

3) #2 also happened with Photoshop and LR running simultaneously once.

These are my specs, and I do have the graphics processor thingy turned off in LR and photoshop, and it still happened.

15" MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz, 32GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536MB, 8-core.

Hi drewmarshall,

That isn't a great user experience as Lightroom is crashing while using the Spot removal tool, we're sorry to hear about this. Let us help make it right.

Which exact version of Lightroom and Photoshop are you using? Could you please provide us the complete system info report from Lightroom? Navigate to Help>>System info menu and select "Copy" then paste it into your next response. We'll diagnose the report and suggest the next set of troubleshooting steps

Thanks,

Akash

Could you please restore Lightroom Classic app preferences to default and let us know if the issue still persists? Please refer this article for step by step instructions:

How to set Lightroom Classic preferences

1) After making an HDR image, LR said that some of the original files were "corrupt" and the HDR file was inaccessible. After trying a few times it worked.

This is not a good sign. Corrupt files indicate a hardware problem somewhere, perhaps a bad sector on your hard disk, or bad memory chips. You need to run diagnostics on your hardware to see if there is a problem.

2) While using the spot removal tool, and also while culling images, LR inexplicably quit. One of the times this happened, my entire MacBook turned off and restarted.

This is not a good sign. Computer shutting down indicates a hardware problem or bad/corrupted/out-of-date driver. You need to run diagnostics on your hardware to see if there is a problem, and also re-install your video driver.

Displays: 1) 3360x2100

With a monitor this large, you want the GPU acceleration in Lightroom turned ON. Go to Preferences, click on the Performance tab, then check the box next to "Use Graphics Processor". Although, I note that this will make the spot removal tool and brush tool slower, so you might want to leave it turned off. I guess you will have to experiment.

Might want to make. a reservation at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store and have the techs look at your rig.
