Hi! today I opened lightroom and from nowhere I receive this message: The lightrrom catalog ¨lightroom catalog¨is corrupt and cnnot be used or backed up until is repair... i choosed Repair Catalog but I´m getting this response: lightroom encountered problems reading or writing from disk when attempting to repair the catalog.

I cannot repair and I cannot do nothing, obviously I don´t have a backup :(, what can I do? I use lightrrom CC but I have also installed lightroom classic, thanks for your help! i really need it!

Lightroom (cloud) does not have a local catalog and does not have a Repair Catalog function, so I suspect you do use Lightroom Classic. Or it's predecessor (Lightroom CC2015). Please go to 'Help - System Info' and copy the first 10 lines. Post them here so we can be sure what you are using.

If you're using the Cloud Based Lightroom, then for any technical issues or feature requests the best place to post is on the following forum that is monitored by the engineering team:
