Question

Lightroom catalog not working?

My Lightroom Classic updated to the new 14.1.1 (on a Mac), and when I just opened it it asked to upgrade my catalog to match the update I assume. Now my Lightroom is not working correctly (refer to photo). I have reopened this a bunch of times and nothing has changed. When I hover over photos, it seems to have the camera data such as aperture the photo was shot at, so there should be all the data in there, just none of the previews or actual photos are loading. I cannot edit, access, or see any of my photos. It also would not let me import any new photos. PLEASE HELP!

Hey, @EmilyLapPhoto. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more information. Please share the system information from Lightroom Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

 

As you've updated Lightroom Classic from an older catalog, it may be pointing at the missing images. Please head here to learn more if the images are, indeed, missing: https://adobe.ly/4dHklng

 

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
