Hello brains trust,
Re Windows 11. Lightroom Classic.
I upgraded (I assume form v13-3) to v13-5.1 and when i opened it, it said i had the following error: 'Local Sync database damaged' and told me how to fix it..... well i did as instructed - https://helpx.adobe.com/au/lightroom-classic/kb/local-sync-database.html?trackingid=W6K8JK3M&mv=in-p... - and when i re opened lightroom classic i now dont have any of my catalogue folders and drives in the library. It also is now syncing my icloud (iphone photos), which it has never done before, and it will take forever, its about half way and has been going for a few hours now.
All the 'collections' i had seem to be synced, and when i click on an image in the collections and then click 'go to folder in library' (from one of the collection photos) it takes me to a Folder called 'Other Lightroom Device' and sub folder 'Imported Photos'. Did not have this folder listed on previous version, and all of the collection photos came from the previous library. All original photos are still on the hard drive. But i clearly dont have them (or the edits) in this catalogue that is running this sync update.
I have clearly done something wrong in the instructions in the above link but dont know what OR how to fix it.
I do have a backup of the catalogue from the v13-3. (only have ever had the one cat and it has always converted fine in each version update)
Wondering if i reload/try to open the backup catalogue from v13-3, will it convert it to run in the v13-5.1??? Not game to try anything now in case i lose everything...
HELP please!
TIA.
Sally
