Lightroom CC 2015.12 Release
After I upgraded to the newest CC version, I began to get an error message and a LR shutdown. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the exact message but it was basically that there is a conflict and LR will attempt to resolve it upon restart. (So sorry that I didn't get the exact wording.) I restarted LR several times and then later my system but it continued to have the same message. Lightroom wouldn't open except to show the message. I went online to Adobe and attempted to fix the error following some instructions posted there.
That did allow me to open the LR catalog but nothing is where it belongs. Right now I have 3 internal hard drives, 2 of them solid state, one with 49.3 GB free and the other with 24.5 GB free. The third is a 2 TB regular one (with 801 GB free) where I'd like my photos to live so as to not eat up my SS drives. I think I have 351 GB of pix but that is an estimate and probably way low.
I have a backup on an 4 TB external drive that is basically full. I have NEF, jpg and DNG files scattered over all the drives. Ideally, I would have LR itself on a solid state and the files themselves on the big storage drive. Also, ideally, I would buy a new computer and transfer everything. That won't happen right now. I'd also happily hire someone to sit in front of my desktop and fix it all!
I don't know if I've provided enough info or too much. Can I somehow start over with a new catalog and import the files correctly? ARRGGHH! I'm at the I'LL DO ANYTHING anyone can tell me that my charge card will allow.
