I have Adobe CC installed on a MacBook M1 . I have previously moved my Lightroom Catalog and associated files, and my images, to an external drive.
I am now considering using a NAS, so my first step would be to move my Lightroom Catalog and files back to the laptop.
1. As I already have...
Thanks Johan,
1; Permissions seem ok, although on Get Info it said i only had Read Only
2; Clicking on the catalog file had exactly the same effect.
However, I think I have now resolved the issue with some scary reformat and recover from Time Machine. Still testing though.
Hi,
I have a problem!
I use an Apple M1 laptop and store my photos and Catalogue on an external HDD.
Last week, while on holiday and after a day taking images, I wanted to upload the images to my HDD. Halfway through a problem occurred and the process stopped. Since then LR will not open, giving...
OK. Thanks for your input Johan. I have now found that all I need to do is unplug and reconnect the USB cable to the portable drive and all is fine. There is obviously some problem with MacOS and I am also having problems with my connection to iCloud which often requires a Restart when using...
Different issue. I have both my catalog and my images on an external drive so I can connect it to either my iMac (at home) or my MacBook Pro (travelling). I backup my catalog to the computer hard drive (whichever is connected) and my images to another external drive using Time Machine. Seems the...
Yes, a different cable worked for a while until there was an update MacOS 10.13.1 on 1st Dec. then I just couldn't open Lightroom even with restarts - until I unplugged the cable and then plugged it back in again to the same slot. Must be a feature!
What I don't understand is that I don't get...
No. Its happening again. One day on and I can't access Lightroom. Not the hub then.
If its a MacOS X problem, and no-one else is experiencing it, what action can I take?
Thank you Johan,
I was plugged in through a USB hub. I have now plugged directly in to iMac and all seems well. I will let you know if further problems arise.

I mostly use Lightroom on my iMac and my catalog and photos sit on a portable external drive.
Sometimes, not always, Lightroom won't open and gives me a message saying: Lightroom cannot open...

I have been away on an extended holiday and I am just catching up with all the changes.
I would like to upgrade but there still seem to be lots issues, so I'm wondering if it is safe to upgrade yet...
Yes, I used the same cable on both computers.
If it is a MacOS X issue, what can I do to resolve it?
Also, for info, the problem has been happening since before I recently upgraded to High Sierra. And both computers have been upgraded to High Sierra.
Just tried to open LR CC on my MacBook Air with the external drive attached. Worked fine!
So it seems that something is awry with LR CC on my iMac (or maybe in my iMac Settings?)
It's a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive formatted with Mac OS Extended
I can see the drive on Finder and have been able to open an image by double clicking on it. Although it was opened in Lightroom Elements which I still have on my Mac, rather than LR CC!
This morning I have been unable...

Question or Description of Problem:
