Lightroom will not open on my new MacBook Air

Report · Nov 27, 2022

I got a new Macbook Air (M1 2020, MacOS Ventura 13.0.1). My Lightroom app (version 6.0) will not open. Launch screen briefly flashes on screen, but then nothing happens. I've tried restarting, redownloading, signing in/out of adobe, google... no luck! Help!

Hi & welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Have you tried reinstalling the Creative Cloud desktop app? Have you tried installing any other Adobe Apps? Do they work?

Try these steps.

Ensure Lightroom has the required disk access & permissions: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access...

Go to the following location to launch Photoshop via terminal
In Finder > Application > Adobe Lightroom > Right-click on Lightroom.app > Show Package Contents > Contents > macOS > Lightroom - double click to open.

Let me know how it goes from here,

Thanks!
