I've seen a lot of threads with people experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find a solution. I'm operating on a 2020 MacBook Pro and in the new Lightroom CC June update, Lightroom crashes every time I go to edit. It happens every single time. Going back to a previous version of Lightroom does not fix the issue. I have some clients waiting for me to finish editing photos, so I didn't know if anybody had a solution or if a bug fix update is coming from Adobe soon.
I'm experiencing the same thing. Have to force quit + restart the app at least twice a day. It is incredibly annoying... I hope Adobe are aware and working on a solution.
Constant crashing. I thought it was my older Mac, so I bought a new one. LR made this computer crash hourly. I have uninstalled LR, rebooted computer, reinstalled Mac OS, and spent 4 hours with Apple support.
I am suffering from the same problem. I try to work without an internet connection because I feel better. But after 5 minutes of photo editing, my computer shuts down. It is very annoying because I have lost all work flow. And I am afraid of damaging my hard drives too.
Hey Adobe. Any updates coming to fix this crashing of Lightroom!? We are paying for a subscription monthly and aren't able to use what we are paying for. So can you please have a solution for us very soon?
Yes, it's over $230/yr too! I am considering buying a boxed or downloaded version but am concerned about losing over 10,000 photos. I have the crashing problem every time there's an update. I've been asked by several to take photos then they ask what takes so long to get their photos. Since I'm already working 50+ hrs a wk (for a large company) I have a limited amt of time to edit my photos. I took pictures of a friend and me at a Halloween event in town on Oct 17th. Every time I tried to download the 15 photos I had chosen the program crashed or logged me out. I was just able to download and post them yesterday! So frustrating since it's a pretty expensive investment for what you're getting. I'd expect this logging out and crashing issue from a free program.
My MacBook Pro died and I bought a new iMac installed the newest version of lrc and will be editing and after 10 minutes or so Lightroom freezes and shuts down my computer. This is a serious problem that has been happening for a lot of people and adobe can't bother to fix it. Considering we are paying for a subscription it should be fixed.
Just to add my voice to this; my 2015 iMac with the latest version of Catalina installed is also freezing repeatedly when trying to run Adobe Lightroom. I also get worried it is going to damage my computer and/or hard drive. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and it's still not working. Weirdly, my backup computer: a 2012 Macbook Pro runs Lightroom just fine without crashing or freezing, so it's hard to work out what the problem is. My iMac definitely does not freeze when not running apps, or running other apps, so it is definitely a problem with Lightroom. Does anyone have any advice, or alternatively, hopefully Adobe will see this and update Lightroom ASAP!
Paying a subscription for software that doesn't work is not fair.
Me toooo!!! I'm literally getting soooo behind in editing and am ready to scream! I literally don't know what to do... I'm force quitting at least 10 times a day?! I don't see one single reply from Adobe?! What's going on?
My friends are wondering why it takes me so long to edit photos. It's hard enough when you have to work a real job and asked to take pictures. This has been an issue every time there's an update for over a year. I'm ready to dump Adobe. Absolutely no answer. Their virtual agent redirects you here but no one here has the answer either. It's soo frustrating. I don't want to lose all my photos that I've edited (over 10,000) but I can't work 50 hrs a wk and constantly babysit the program when I'm downloading or exporting more than 10 - 15 photos to my computer.
I'm extremely glad to see that I'm not the only one suffering from this issue. I literally open LR, clicked on my preset tab, and switched from one photo to the next one and my computer froze and restarted for the 6th time today. Adobe we need answers!
If you are using Mac OS 10.13 or earlier then the latest release of Lightroom (4.0) is incompatible with this.
You would have to either upgrade to 10.14 or above OR uninstall version 4.0 and then via the 'three dot menu' to the right of Lightroom in the Creative Cloud App, select Other Versions and install 3.4.
I have found the solution to my problem. I have turned the gpu off on the graphics card and have had no problems since. The program runs painfully slow but better than crashing all the time.
I have the same combination of new Mac Pro and LR upgrade. I noticed first that Silver Effex will not open properley when "Edit In" menu is used from LR...then LR just shut down. I thought I had accidentally hit close, but it has now happened very time I use LR. Very annoying.
