Lightroom Classic Photos are Missing!!!

[Jamar21]

Hey guys, I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, and was in the process of redownloading my adobe creative cloud apps (Premier pro, LR Classic, after effects, etc).  However, when I finally opened up my Lightroom Classic application, NONE of my photos from Lightroom Classic on my last laptop appeared!  The regular Lightroom app on the other hand has all my photos, yet I can't find a way to retrieve my photos back to Lightroom Classic.  

PLEASE HELP!!!

PS: tried calling adobe but they left me on hold for 2 hours lol...

Where do you have saved your pictures? On the internal disk or on a external hard drive?

You have accidentally opened the wrong Lightroom catalog or a blank Lightroom catalog. Find the Lightroom catalog you used previously, copy it to a brand new empty folder on the new computer, and double-click on that to open it.

Do you still have the old laptop?

Was the old lightroom classic catalog on the internal hard drive of the old laptop or an external drive?

Was the photos on the old laptops internal drive or an external drive?

Remember that catalog and those photos are on some hard drive that the old laptop uses, not the cloud.
