17 June 2026 It's Lightroom update time again. There are some major new features, as well as bug fixes, new cameras and lenses.
See What’s New in Lightroom Classic 15.4, Mobile & Desktop (June 2026)? also How do I sync keywords? for more details. Note: Classic 15.4.1 now released with bug fixes.

Welcome Chris,
To help us help you could you please take a moment to fill in your signature with information similar to what I have, in the "userCP' that is found at the top left of the page - thanks.
Haven't ever seen that but suggest that you may have created that as a different user?
Try moving the folder containing the catalog to the desktop and try that and try with another user if you have one.
Maybe a screen cap of you LR catalog location in finder would help too please.

Where is your LR catalog? TM wouldn't be your Time Machine drive, would it?
Your catalog is currently in a read-only folder - or has a parent folder that is read-only. Change the permissions should do the trick.
