Corrupt Catalogue Repair Mac

Hey!

Been working all morning on a catalogue, a few more to do before export and then I get an error message saying the catalogue is corrupted.

Have tried to repair several times, copied the catalogue onto my cloud drive and open again. Restarted the computer. It opened after the restart and I attempted to export but gave me an error message about internal corruption. Had a scout about here and youtube but can't see any thing helpful and my brain is now dead.

I did the majority of the work this morning so I have no back up. Is there anything I can do?!

Cheers!

Heather

    Unlikely there is anything you can do to save this catalog.

    If you were writing the metadata (edits, keywords, etc.) to XMP, then these can be recovered and re-applied to the photos in Lightroom in a new catalog.
