P: Unable to export

[Lucky25921774eo3a]

Hello, I am running Lightroom classic v13-4 and all of a sudden when I go to export even just one photo the export tab opens up top but nothing happens. I once let it sit for 24 hours and it showed it completed but nothing was in the folder. I have tried everything, resetting preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, deleting watermarks and making a blank one, checked my hard drive, checked export settings they're the same I've always kept them. I'm using a 2017 iMac Ventura 13.7 i5 8gb I'm not sure if the age of my Mac has anything to do with it but any help is appreciated thank you!

The preferences reset solved the export problem for me. (LR Classic 14.0.1 on MacOS 15.1.1). The clean reinstall nor the launch from Terminal were successful solutions.

Having all sorts of problems with Lightroom.  Carried out upgrades on IMac and laptop running differenr versions of Lightroom.  Although  I can see the images I cannot export them.  I have spent days trying to locate the source images following lots of spurious advice on this and mant other sites.  

Something has seriously gone wrong witht these upgrades and although I have an IT backround,  I as a photographer cannot spends days (now a week) trying to implement the errors to Lightroom caused by this upgrade.  During my travels around the net, I am seeing advice which catergorically says "Do not upgrade to v14".  Seeing that this a common problem throughout numerous Lightroom users, what is Adobe doing about it?

Now losing confidence in Lightroom and now looking for a more stable piece of software in which to process my photos.  

One accepts mino hiccups, but not to the level I am currently experiencing. 

Used Lightroom for over 10 years now, but never ever, had this problem with uprades from Adobe.

I found a quick fix while using Lightroom! Go to preferences and navigate to performance. Inside the performance settings navigate to "Use Graphics Processor". By default this setting is set to "Auto". Change this setting to "Off" or "Custom" and unselect "Use GPU for Export". Ensuring the setting is temporarily unchecked, export the photo giving the error. I only had the issue with a stacked photo that I unstacked and delete the original. Happy editing, hope this helps!
