Hello, The DigitalDog   I tried all the suggestion you gave but they did not work. I am not the only one with this problem. I need to know that Adobe is working on this problem so I can take another path. What would you do if you were in my shoes? thanks   Jonathan ... View more

  Thank you but what information do you need?    I have a new M1 Macbook 14" 32GB Ram Ventura.    I had OS Monetery where the Lightroom Classic 12.3 worked fine.    Then when I updated the OS to Ventura the Lightroom Classic 12.3  crashed with  acrash report (attached).    The previous version 12.2 works fine on Ventura.     So I do I escalate the problem? I see in the bug report that few people are having similar problem.     thanks          Jonathan      ... View more

Thank you DigitalDog   So you can stick with the old version or try fixing your issues with the newer one (your call). Newer versions will continue to be provided; you're OK with sticking with 12.2 and disabling auto update?    again thank you, but I am subscribed to the photo plan, so I need the updates as they Happen.   thanks        Jonathan ...

   Hello Digital Dog        Thank you for your help,  but you are not refering to my comments so they do not make sense.       I already told you that the previous version works fine (12.2) and also the new version (12.3) crashes but works fine under Monterey. So I do not understand why your comments do not include these facts. Also why is Adobe Support not helping. I can seat for days trying different tools and options but time is a factor. ... View more

      Hello Digital dog the Lightroom Classic is listed. Remember that the previous  version (12.1) works fine.        Also the new version 12.3 works fine under Monterey. There must be a connection to these 2 variables.         I am also not a programmer but an artist.              My thoughts, Since I am not getting any real help from Adobe, I cannot downgrade from Ventura, My New Macbook is new and still under warrenty - I should exchange my Macbook to a new one with Monterey. What do you think? ... View more

Hello Digital Dog         I will 'try' to follow your advice, but I have few concerns.          1. When you said try to reset your preferences both articles failed to mention why is it necessary.           2. Do I have to do it every time I lounch Lightroom?           3. Why the new Lightroom Classic version worked under Monterey and failed to work under Ventura.           4. and last how come none of the support agents do not know about all of this, and why Adobe support left my problems 'hanging' with no follow up.           In any case,  thanks for your help        ...

Ok here are the steps for COPYING not MOVING your Lightroom files and main catalog from one HD to a new HD. 1. backup the main catalog. (assuming you have only one catalog) 2. Copy the entire folders and files from HD1 to HD2. (use bridge or the OS explorer or finder) 3. Disconnect or eject the old HD1. 4. In Lightroom right click the old drive top header for a missing Location (will have a question mark), then point to the new HD top header and click enter, all files will be connected to the main catalog with all the edits and ratings. 5. copy the main catalog to the new HD, then change the catalog location in Lightroom catalog settings. 6. The catalog backup should be on a third external HD, make sure you update the location of the Backup in the Lightroom settings.   ... View more
