Everything worked fine until a few days ago, now I can sort or label in library, but the moment I try to switch to develop mode it crashes. Nothing has changed on my computer that I am aware of (no new installs or plugins) Thus far I have tried...
I'm at a complete loss and have images I need to process. If there are any additional items you can think of for me to try please let me know Some follow up.......these are notes that I took along with way of this odyssey, but the final observation is there seems to be an adverse interaction between playing music through airplay to HomePod minis and LR 11.1 opening probably. And perhaps this is an issue during the initial installation of 11.1, but don't know that for sure. So resetting preferences did not work in the most straightforward way.
I did those steps just in case things did not work out with changing preferences. 4. Then upgraded to 11.1
So
so
so Rebooted computer, but had to force quit the Apple Music App to complete reboot process 18. Opened LR after reboot and it opened without my old preferences. Open and closed several times and it seemed to work 19. Opened Music App 20. Opened LR and got the brief bouncing icon on the dock and then nothing 21. Closed the Music App, but had to force quit it 22. Opened LR and it opened properly. Did this several times and it seemed to work 23. While LR was open, reopened the Music App and it spent a very long time loading the library 24. In the meantime, I updated my LR preferences and finally the Music app loaded its library 25. With the Music App open and playing music, quit LR 26. Tried to reopen LR and nothing happened. No bouncing icon or anything 27. Quit the Music App 28. Tried to reopen LR after Music App was closed and it opened with my updated preferences. Closed and open LR several times without problems 29 With LR open, opened the Music app (no music playing) 30. Closed LR and re-opened LR several times and it seemed to work (Music app open, but not playing music) 31. With LR closed, started playing music on the Music App via airplay 2 to Homepod Minis. With music playing, LR refused to open) 31. Stop playing music in the Music App and LR still refused to open 32. Quit Apple Music 33. Opened LR and got an error message saying something about the windows and given an option to reopen the windows. Selected reopen the windows and LR seemed to open properly. 34. Closed LR and reopened it several times without additional errors. , but Apple Music was closed 35. Opened Apple Music but NO music playing 36. Opened and closed LR several times without problems. I have now replicated this process and the following appears to be the case. If Apple Music is open AND playing music, LR will not open If Apple Music is open, AND HAS NOT PLAYED music, LR will open If Apple Music has been opened and played music even briefly and then stopped, LR will start to open and then close
Went back to Apple Music and played music through the iMac. LR opened and closed several times without problems. With LR open, switch Apple Music to airplay 2 to Homepod minis (stereo pair) Closed LR, reopened and it failed to open. On a second try, got the same error message “The last time you opened…), upon selecting ‘ReOpen’, LR closes. A third try a repeat LR fails to open with the same error message Closed the Music App, and upon reopened LR get the same error message, but selecting the ‘Reopen’, LR opens properly. SO on further exploration it seems like it is related to any music app playing through airplay and somehow that interferes with LR opening properly. |
