Open Lightroom as normal, and look at what is in File > Open Recent. Assuming you did create a new catalogue by mistake, your real catalogue should be listed under this menu.

You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

 

In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

 

Thank you!

Could you of started a new catalog?

Search you Macintosh HD for .lrcat (that is .(DOT) LRCAT with lower case letters).

If you have more than one lrcat file open each one to see if your original catalog is one of them.
