Hard drive crashed in iMac. Replaced drive and restored from time machine backup (drobo). Open lightroom, catalog is empty. Try to import catalog from day before crash off drobo and receive the following response: Can not import from this catalog at this time. The catalog is either in use by another copy of Lightroom or was closed improperly. If it was closed improperly, please consider doing an integrity check when opening.
Try opening catalog off of drobo from LR and receive response: The Lightroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder “/Volumes/Drobo/Backups.backupdb/Allison McCafferty’s iMac/2013-01-31-004247/Macintosh HD/Users/allison/Pictures/Lightroom” does not allow files to be created within it.
Not sure what to do at this point!
