Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):Classic CC
Hi
First post from me and its a doozy!
Years ago I bought Lightroom 4 as a standalone product and is on my 27" iMac running High Sierra. Over the years it has been upgraded regularly to the most recent CC version.
This week I bit the bullet and ran the upgrade to CC Classic. I kept the old version as I had read that many were having issues. The upgrade appeared to have worked. When I open Lightroom CC Classic, it asked me to upgrade the catalog file. Part way through, it errored, and has done no matter how many times I try.
It says "Lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog and cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom."
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I don't want to lose 6 years worth of LR edits from over 5TB of images.
To add to that, for some reason, Chronosync has stopped backing up my catalog file, which again it has been doing quite nicely for the last 4 years or so.
Getting worried something bad is going to happen!
Thanks in advance.
Julian
