P: Crashes on Mac

[amandad31018590]

My Lightroom Classic is crashing constantly.  I'm working on a Mac.  Any help would be great right now.

What are you doing when it crashes Amanda? 

[Seddon28]

I am having the same issue - constantly closes down, and I have to restart.  All I am doing is browsing through the library - and it just shuts down without warning.

[Venkatesh Penjuri]

Please submit the crash report with information on the operation you were performing before the crash in the comments section.

@amanda diane@dultmeierphoto.com could you share us your system info(In Lr: Help->System info).

[simonsaith]

Yes. Submit the crash report with your email address. It would be helpful to post some snippets of the crash report log here.

[deblm]

I've sent multiples of the crash report over the last several days days with my email....nothing back about it.  Mine crashes on start up.  Cannot even get to edit>preferences No catalog loads at all and when I hit send report it closes the partial Lightroom window that tried to open. No smiley face here Wish to heck I had never upgraded as it is hardly an upgrade when totally unusable  

[amandad31018590]

Thanks I will do.  I've sent loads of reports with every crash, but will try to screenshot one next time.  Thank you!

And the operations that I was performing before each crash have been different I think.  But I will watch specifically for it now.  

[simonsaith]

Hi Deb, I see that a bug was logged for the crash that you've reported. Does the crash happen on every Lr launch? Does it help if you run Lr Classic CC as an Administrator? Right click "Run as administrator".

[simonsaith]

Hi Amanda, I searched with your email address but find no hits. See https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html on where to put your email address when submitting the crash report.

[deblm]

Yes, every start-up.  And yes, I've been trying the run as administrator.  I uninstalled and reinstalled for about the 8th time yesterday and crashed on completion.  I did it over and over.  walked away and it finally opened.  But then up came the crash report.  I haven't clicked on it yet because I know when I do it will automatically close LR and I need to get a few images out.  Also, when I went to export an image, it was showing the last export to be 2015 and my last folder I exported to as 2015.  ???

[amandad31018590]

 Gosh that sounds awful.  My folders were also doing very odd things.  The admin guy on one of these forums was really patronising about it and didn't really believe me.  I deleted the weird folders and started over losing a nights work in the process.  I got a new external hard drive yesterday and it appears to be working a bit better, (my old hard drive almost was full.  Not sure if that was complicating things?) but I'm not editing at the moment, mostly shooting.  I wouldn’t know if LR is really better until I edit next week.

[deblm]

Yes is it awful!  And I just made the dreaded mistake and closed Lightroom after it finally opened and now I'm back to crash on start up.  The only things I see after the opening screen are the headers and footers of  the LR program and a large gray blank space between.  

[simonsaith]

Hi Deb,

Looked at the crash reports that you have submitted. I recommend you to revert and stay on the Lr CC 2015.12 for now. We need to investigate the root case (there is a bug logged) for your specific case. It seems have to do with your specific version of Windows configuration. Apologize for the inconvenience. You can go to https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-downloads.html to download the reinstall Lr CC 2015.12 (6.12). You would first download and install the Lr CC 2015 (6.0) package and then download and install the Lr CC 2015.12 (6.12) patch on top it the base install.

Well, don't know what to do.  I had tried to reinstall my old stand alone LR5 but then received the notice that the catalog had been upgraded and would no longer work for this version...I could go back a ways to an older backup, one that won't have recent work i've done.  And last night I finally, somehow, managed to get Classic to load one more time...by using explorer and following the path to the catalog.  Don't know why it worked as I had tried that route previously.  It did come up with the dreaded crash report, though.  So....close and possibly not be able to get any work done again?  Unsure but thank you and I will keep this under consideration.

[simonsaith]

If you have a second machine to work with, check if you can run Lr Classic CC there. 

[deblm]

That would be my husbands machine and it too runs on Windows 10.
Thank you

[deblm]

Is  Lr CC 2015 (6.0) , as you noted above,  the same as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6? which is what I get from the link you provided. Looks more like the stand-alone and not part of the creative cloud subscription

[simonsaith]

it is the single binary for both perpetual and Lr CC 2015. The feature set is determined by your license type (subscription or perpetual), not the downloaded bits which are the same for both license types.

[deblm]

Ok.  I saw the update for Classic yesterday, had high hopes but back to crash on open screen

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

My LR CC Classic always hangs on my Mac when I wake up my computer, get the spinning wheel. Will not quit and I have to Force quit every time????

[deblm]

Unfortunately, it seems Adobe has no interest in working on the issues with the "new" CC Classic.  They told me to just roll back to the previous version....isn't that wonderful!? Keep paying my monthly subscription for the older version as if that is perfectly acceptable.  However, I too want the new features like everyone else.  I finally found a back way to get into my catalog and make it work but it is a real pain.   Everyone at Adobe is too busy working on the new Lightroom CC as they try and push us into spending even more money with them by buying storage and working solely in the cloud.  

Hope they are nicer to you, and you can get a fix for your issue.

Best of luck!
