Hi, i made a stupid mistake while in editing in lightroom. I decided my best course of action was to open time machine on my Mac and restore my catalog from earlier in the day prior to the editing mistakes i made. now that the catalog has been restored, i can't open it. I get the annoying, can not open due to an unexpected error.

I have no locked files. how can i correct this?

thanks

If you can't open your catalog it doesn't sound like it's been restored at all. Go to the spotlight in the upper right corner and search on .lrcat upload a screen capture of the search results shown in the finder window.

ok, heres the screen shot. i do think the files were in fact restored from the time machine backup. one of the files even contains the raw files and they are there. its just the catalog that will not open

Where is this folder located? Is it on your local drive or a network drive? Please click on Show all in Finder and send that screen shot.

Did you delete the catalog you were working on before you decided to restore a backup version from TM? Where is that catalog?

How did you restore the catalog? Was it zipped?
