My laptop broke and I had to copy contents to ext HD.

 

When now copying back my pictures folder which held my LR images are being copied over as LR not LRC - what have I done wrong or am missing?

 

Any advise greately appreciated

I don't know exactly what this means. Can you show us a screen capture? (Use the "Insert Photos" icon, do not attach files)

So this is the conents of my external HD that my hard drive from broken laptop was copied to. 

 

I successfully copied everything over to the my macbook.

 

However the problem is when I open LR classic there's nothing in there. When I then leave the programe and click on one of the raw files Finder in the picture folder it opens up LR (the cloud based program) I don't want to use that.

 

And I can see now timers on the folder where it seems to be uploading all my photos to LR (cloud) 

 

How can I have it simply using LRClassic?

 

Thank you

Clare

Then you have copied the wrong catalog file. You have to find the proper catalog file and use that.
