Correct answer dj_paige

only yesterday


If you make a backup of a possibly corrupted catalog file, your back has the same possible corruption. In other words, if it is corrupted, the backup is useless.


Didn't you make backups before this problem happened?

Might want to go here to report this directly to Adobe (this is a user to user forum):

https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/lightroom-classic/lightroom-classic-102-message-the-catalog-could-not-be-opened-due-to-an-unexpected-error/6053bbc46a47e07e023ea606

That thread has similar users reporting this and Adobe tracks it so if a fix comes about, you'll find out there first.

I have exactly the same problem with all of Giovannis variations from today.

 

 It does not want to open any Cat, even old ones. Over the weekend everything was working fine.

I'm on a Mac Pro 2013, Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3, RAM 16 GB and have been on Creative Cloud new contract (PS & LrC) since 28/3/2021, but has been a long time Lr user.

Try copying a backup copy of your catalog file and putting it in a brand new empty folder. Does that work? If not, make a new copy of the same backup and put it on a different disk, and see if it opens.


THX. It worked following your first recipe! Before this I even reinstalled LrC, but zilch.

But why did it happen?

Cheers.
