I haven't used lightroom classic for quite a long time. Last time I did it was LR classic CC. Now it has been updated to just LR classic. I have a lot of images saved on an external hard drive but when I connect it now and try to open LR classic I get the following message:
"The Lightroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder “/Volumes/LaCie Main/Lightroom” does not allow files to be created within it.
Please either fix the folder permissions before continuing or choose a different catalog."
I don't know how I would do that ? Can someone advise. It may be very simple for those folks who juggle these things a lot but I am nervous of losing my images by doing something dumb. Thanks.

The catalog might be corrupt.
Do you have a backup of that catalog?
