photos lost

[Jerry5FF8]

I seem to have lost al of my photos since i have imported RAW photos directly to LR, thousands of photos have disappeared in a mouseclick, only 1228 photos from years ago appear on my screen, I can't belief they're all gone, but can't find a way to get them back eather .... every time I start up LR only the old photo's appear .... what can I do ???

Explain further. What do you see that tells you you have lost all of your photos? What was the mouseclick supposed to do?

Did you search for the photos in Lightroom by clicking on All Photographs, turning off filters and then using the Filter bar to search for one of these photos by name or by capture date?

Post a screen shot of the full LrC interface showing the Library module in grid view and the full left hand side panel with both the Catalog and Folders sections expanded.

What I meant was a Screen Shot like this.

[Just Shoot Me]

And actually you haven't lost any photos as there are No photos IN LrC. All your photos are on your hard drive someplace.

[DdeGannes]

You need to specify which application you are using?

LrC (classic) or Lr (cloud-based) ?

Also what operating system and version?

[Jerry5FF8]

I'm using adobe photoshop lightroom 4.4 on a mac OS 10.13.6

[GoldingD]

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Past that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

Any chance you have opened a different catalog?
