Lightroom 4 Version 4.4 running on OS Sierra 10.12

[durellm79351891]

     So i updated my OS system on my mac book air to the latest OS Sierra and even with the update before Sierra I have an issue with Lightroom. It seems as if Lightroom now doesn't not recognize either one of my cameras. I have a nikon D90 and I am currently only shooting with my Nikon D700 and when trying to shoot tethered I am not able to.  I notice these cameras were listed as cameras not supported by Lightroom but as this issue been address or will it be addressed soon? What solutions have been provided for this issue, and how can I continue to use Adobe Lightroom for my clients and business.

Best,

Hi durellm,

Lightroom 4 has never been tested on OSX 10.12, Please refer Known issues - Running Lightroom CC on macOS 10.12 Sierra

The Lightroom application could have lost communication with your camera(s). Please refer Fix tethered shooting in Lightroom and let us know if that help.

Regards,

Akash

those options were explored already and as stated my camera is on a list of none supported devices by Lightroom 4. I am asking how can this be resolved. My software is also up to date as I have check for recent updates.

Your options for tethering support now are to upgrade Lightroom to version 6.8 or CC2015.8

Or downgrade your OS back to the earlier version you had before Sierra.

Apple made a change with Sierra that broke how Nikon tethers its cameras.

Nikon/Adobe only fixed this for the current version of Lightroom not the earlier LR versions. i.e. anything lower than I believe 6.5/CC 2015.5

LR 4 is no longer supported other than you can still get the downloads to reinstall it if required.

Interesting, but when I select update software in lightroom it states that I am up to date. How can I update to the newer software? bhousto90​

According to this page A list of cameras that can be tethered to Lightroom. both your cameras are supported for tethering in LR3 and later. I don't do tethering, so I can't help you any furhter with that.

when I select update software in lightroom it states that I am up to date. How can I update to the newer software?

LR 4.4 is up to date - it's the final LR4 version.

To get newer software you to have to upgrade - the latest main version is LR6.

You can buy an upgrade here: Software & Services

Click Buy next to Lightroom, then click Full, and choose upgrade from the dropdown.
