Operating System: Mac 10.13.1 High Sierra
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): 2015.1 Lr CC
I posted an earlier thread on Nov 25 on merging 2 catalogs that had become separated over the last couple of months. There was a simple suggestion by, Johan W. Elzenga, which I was going to try soon after. Meanwhile, I was operating on OS El Capitan and I had a virus scare while shopping that same night. I called Apple support about it, and they told me to install the new OS High Sierra, as it had some security updates. So, I did, and things looked to be okay until I tried opening the second of the 2 catalogs after being in the first (default) one. It closed down Lr, and attempted to open with the other catalog, but would not. It came up with an error window saying it had quit and gave a relaunch button to try, which doesn't want to re-open.
So, I'm thinking maybe I should upgrade my Lr to the newest Classic. So, I have now downloaded it and it is asking to create a new catalog and apply it to the one catalog which does seem to open to (which I want to merge with another catalog). Once I do this to this catalog, will I be able to merge the other one, (which was made with Lr 2015.1), with this newly updated catalog?
I'm ready to either push the button to upgrade, choose another catalog, or just quit. I just don't know if I'll be able to merge an older CC catalog with the new Classic! I can't open Lr at all until I choose one of the options.
Here are the windows showing where it unexpectedly quit, and where it's ready to upgrade to Classic. Thanks for any help, as I need to show photos of one of the catalogs later in the day.
