Thank you all so much for helping me! This is beyond my experience level and if it wasn't for you all I would really be in trouble!
I thought some screenshots might help in figuring this out. The old catalog, v12, shows grayed out folders in the Library panel but nothing in them. The catalog...
I recently had the misfortune of having my computer hacked. I had my repair person remove the virus and do a clean install of Windows also. I have re-installed LR Classic which upgraded the catalog version for me. But when I open LR the new catalog does not show any of my images. Images and...
My apologies Victoria and Cletus, I have been dealing with the Type A Flu. It knocked me flat on my back for 6 days!! But better now and appreciate your help!!
Cletus, I did reimport the moved images, not the catalog. This is where I made my mistake. So if I have this right, I need to delete...
I know that I screwed this up somehow! I read the article on how to move LR to a new computer or hard drive, but somehow I did something wrong. The images migrated just fine but without the changes n the catalog. Is there any fix or do I have to delete the images and start over again?

Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):
I am trying to upgrade my desktop from 2015.10.1 to 7.2. When I try to open my catalog in the 7.2 version, I get this error. "Catalog cannot be opened due to unexpected error. Which from what I understand usually...
I am using a laptop and the hard drive is nearly full. I can't upgrade the internal hard drive so I purchased an external hard drive to move my LR catalog and the image folder. How do I get LR to point tp the new destination on the new drive instead of the old drive?
Thanks for the help!!!

Hi Clee,
I am about out of ideas as far as this problem is concerned. I think I will just start a new catalog from my back-up. I just want to make sure I have that process right. The way I understand it, I make a new catalog and then import my back-up catalog as 'File--- Import from Catalog' Is...
Hi Clee,
I finally got a a day off so I am trying to dig deeper and solve this problem!!!
1. The card works in my laptop computer, so that's not it.
2. I don't download from my camera, I use a card reader. I tried two different kinds. Neither one solves the problem.
Here is what I did find. I...
Problems with HD crash
Hi Clee,
I finally thought I had all of my problems figured out and I was back to normal. Boy was I wrong!!!
I am now having problems importing from a CF card. Here is the error from a screenshot:
Here is what the Import page looks like:
What am I doing wrong...
Cletus,
You are 'Da Man!!!
My pictures are back where they belong, in the proper catalog and life is good!!
All except for one thing: When I try to import new files, LR wants to put them into the C/Users/OWNER folder instead of C/Users/BILL folder. And when I try to change the "To" folder in...
Good Morning,
I Think I may have some important new information for you. It appears that I somehow have multiple catalogs number one and all of my photos are stored in 2 duplicate files with different names. I'm hoping the screenshots will help explain.
One of the folders is Users/Bill/My...
Good Morning,
Please excuse my absense but work has been a bear lately! I really appreciate all the help you are giving me!
Here is what I don't understand: I have thousands of photos and I know where they are, but I can't get LR to show them! The next screenshot is a shot from the import page...
Cletus,
I can't thank you enough for the help!!! This has been driving me crazy!
I'm attaching screenshots from the LR Folder panel and the folder on my hard drive.
I'm afraid I've made a serious mess of this..... I have upwards of 9000 photos in my C/Users/Bill/My Pictures folder and I...
Good Evening All,
I'm a first time poster, and I'm hoping that with your help, I can get my LR working again.
After a hard drive crash, the repair guys were able to recover my files. However, they changed the name of the folder where all of my pictures are stored. My photos are actually stored...
