Probably a very stupid question (new to this), but Ive just upgraded my Mac, I cant get lightroom to sync on my old mac as it needs updating first, but the operating system is not updated to the level lightroom needs to be able to update. It seems i cant upgrade the operating system. 

when I transfer lightroom over to the new mac will it have everything it needs stored on my computer or should I try to figure out how to sync it first if i can. thanks

Hey, @wendyd1204961. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic community. I'll help you get started with the transition.

 

Lightroom Classic has backward compatibility with how it handles catalogs. You can upgrade an older catalog database to work with newer versions of Lightroom Classic.

I recommend manually copying the Lightroom Catalog & the original images from the old machine to the new one. Install Lightroom Classic on the new device & when you open the catalog from the older machine.

These two pages will help you make an informed decision: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/catalog-faq-lightroom.html

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
Sameer K!
