Question

Unable to Forget Drive After Moving to New Mac

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Lightroom library after moving from my old Mac to a new one. I used the a time capsule image and now I I get an error every time I open Lightroom saying that the offline drive cannot be found. I went on Adobe's support website and it suggests that I click the forget drive button when the error notification happens. The issue is that there is no forget drive button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As it stands now, I can't even add any photos to my library and Lightroom is pretty much useless.

I am dealing with this specific issue: "Lightroom loses track of the photo locations on your hard disk when you move data from one computer to another. For example, when you upgrade your computer".

Thank you.

    You can't see it under Preferences / Local Storage? (It may says Forget Volume)
