Lightroom Crashing...Unexpectedly

[Toppus Cattus]

Hello there,

I have Lightroom on my Mac, and have had it on my Mac for a good while now.  However, it has now decided to start crashing, totally unexpectedly, whilst I am in the middle of processing/organising my photos...no warning at all.  Sure, I get the message come up about reporting it to Apple and...quick as a flash...nothing appears to happen.  The OS system I am running is the latest Sierra 10.13.1.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?  I'm finding it incredibly frustrating and do wonder if these crash reports I keep sending off actually get read and actioned by anyone!

Many thanks in advance....

It's not the software unless it has been damages/corrupted by some hardware or setting issue.

You started out with a working system. Ask yourself what about YOUR system, or way of working, has changed that causes good software to 'crash'.

I can start Lightroom without connection to the camera (Nikon D7100). As soon as I connect the camera to the system (Lightroom up and running), Lightroom crashes.

If the camera is connected in advance and try to start Lightroom, the above described error occurs and Lightroom do not start.

OS MAC OS Sierra (Version10.13.2).
