Hi all, recently swapped my 2015 Imac for a new Macbook Pro M1 and whilst it zooms through everything in comparison to my old Imac there is something bugging me with the shut down time.
When I click 'Quit Lightroom' I get the spinny beachball for up to 15-20 seconds before it closes.
Anyone help? I have already turned off the GPU option from Lightroom's preferences to fix an issue with red hue when hovering over the develop module.
I am running Montery 12.2 and Lightroom Version 11.3.1

Thanks John, you obviously know much more about this than I ever will. I am just happy for the help I was offered here and that at the moment it seems to operating normally.

Hi Todd Shaner​ so I went back through this post and revisited the link sent in the first reply regarding optimizing. I made sure all performance suggestions in there were correct to my situation with regards to hard drive speed/RAM/location of files etc. The only thing I missed was 'optimize catalogue' under the file menu..... This took 10minutes to carry out and seems to have worked after a reboot! Massive thanks for your consistent help and I'll be straight back if the previous fault comes back after a few reboots.

Thankyou Todd Shaner​ I got ahead of myself thinking multiple catalogues would be the fix. I will try your suggested post later today and report back to my original thread.

What is actually exported when you export catalogue? No images themselves but all the information that goes with it? such as an .xmp and previews etc?

Thankyou Richard, Whilst time consuming is an option to just to delete my current large Catalogue and then start again, creating a yearly catalogue and copying in each folder again. Rinse and repeat for every year? Saves exporting/importing.

Thanks for your reply. I have upwards to 80k photos in it. (I'm a wedding photograher so add 2-3k at a time) As advised in my previous thread I setup a new catalogue, added 100 photos to it. Restarted my machine and they instantly appeared rather than taking 5minutes. This time delay has not been gradual, a few weeks ago it started taking that long when before it would only be 10 seconds or so. I thought I had maybe hit a magic number which it didnt like.

Thankyou for all your help. This looks like a catalogue issue so have started a new thread to hopefully sort the problem. Splitting one catalogue into multiples catalogues

Hi everyone, After my recent post had some great help and I think I may have a solution I thought a new thread may help. LR Classic very slow to boot (then performs normally) So I currently don't use catalogues and one have one 'My Lightroom Catalogue' set up. Within that catalogue are all my photos in folders as per below. My lightroom photos >2014 >2015 >2016 >2017 >2018 >2019 In each of these there is up to 30 folders containing thousands of images. This huge catalogue was causing slow startup within LR. I want to create a catalogue for each year and move the photos from that year into it, ultimately making the original 'all-in-one' catalogue redundant. I have read conflicting ways online so would like some help in doing this. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'll take a look at doing that. One question first though. I never saw the need to backup catalogue as I use time machine which makes regular backups. Is this not the case?

Cheers Todd/Ricky So I clicked File>newcatalogue>called it TEST CATALOGUE, copied 25 photos in, restarted my mac and the photos appeared immediately. Therefore, this looks like it could my problem. My other catalogue was just called 'Lightroom Catalogue' and when i opened it back up it once again took ages to load. As you can see from a previous screengrab I have folders with thousands of photos per year i.e 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 etc. Is it possible to create a catalogue for previous years and copy them in and if so would this help me now? Thanks again

Thanks for that Ricky, so which of these levels is the actually Catalogue? Right back up to 'My Lightroom Photos USB?' which is the external USB name?

Below is the info from my system info, I updated the software yesterday in the hope this may solve it but hasn't, the problem persisted on the previous version too.

Hi everyone, firstly thanks in advance for any help. I have Lightroom Classic, on the latest version. Running on a late 2013 Imac 27" which has 16GB of RAM. I am a photographer and use my Mac for pretty much only LR/PS and the odd web browsing. I store my photos on an external USB drive which my current one is only 1.2TB used out of 4TB. My Mac is only using 400GB of its internal 1TB fusion drive. Recently my LR can take 5minutes+ to fully start up and allow my photos to appear in library/development. Once it has finally loaded everything it is quick and snappy to use and navigate around. This only occurs on the first startup after booting up, if I "Quit Lightroom Classic' and then open it again its quick to load. FYI the rest of my Mac is quick on startup, I can be browsing Safari listening to Spotify within seconds. A browse of the net has made me try a few things to no avail. - Delete time machine snapshots in terminal - Boot up in safe mode - Restart and reset NVRAM I have also unboxed a brand new external drive, copied my photos onto it but it is still the same (I wondered whether the older drive was on its way out) Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks, Dan

Hi all, Just purchased creative cloud and have downloaded the app to my windows desktop. The app opens and freezed immediately. I dont get the spinning wheel but a frozen one. Once I got as far as login and it then crashed. I spend two hours earlier on chat and even shared my desktop. They decided it was an administration problem and activated the main administrator on my pc using cmnd. He eventually got it to show the install buttons but since that conversation even that has failed. Any help appreciated. One of my attempts using the guide was to delete older CS versions so now I have no photoshop and need it back for my day to day work. Thanks
