I had Macbook Air with sonoma 14.5 in which i used lightroom classic .I backed up everything including all the source images in an external drive.

I try to open this project in my another Macbook Air M1 with same sonoma 14. 7 & updated lightroom 14.2 as iam a member of adobe cc .
Even when the catalogue gets update while lightroom open my saved LR project . iam Unable to see any of the colletion which i made spending so much of time as have 1000s of photographs.

Hi @rasaGRAPHY, 

 

It sounds like you're working between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (cloud-based), which are two different programs that can sync when manually set up. To better understand your situation, I have a few clarifying questions:

  1. When you say you backed up everything, what exactly does that include?
  2. Are you opening the same catalog, or did you create a new one?
  3. Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing? If possible, a video walkthrough would also be helpful!

I have this lightroom classic project folder from my Timemachine backup ( macbook air m1-sonomo 14.5) . screenshoot 01
As informed earlier i have the entire source files ( all the images ) too .screenshoot 02
With this how should i setup the LR Project where i can retrieve all my “collection” & also continue to work the same in Lightroom classic .

Thanks

I believe you are confusing folders and collections. These folders should be shown in the folder panel. That is the physical location of all the images. Collections are lists, like the playlist of a music player. An image can be added to multiple collections, but you do not have to add an image to any collection. So I still do not understand what you think is missing.
