use lightroom 5.  photo editing and forgot to plug my external drive in lightroom.  connected drive and now only have a twirly Rainbow

im a newer user of lightroom 5 on MAC, but have learned quite quickly.

I've been editing a series of photos, and while it picks up today I forgot to plug my Lightroom external storage drive on my laptop.

So without thinking, I plugged the drive in my laptop, hoping that the drive appears and synchronization.

Right now, all I have is a twirly on-screen Rainbow.

Don't know what to do.

Can I close Lightroom and save all my changes?

I have to unplug the drive and restart lightroom?

Thank you in advance for any help, this is the first time that I made this mistake

Even if no one answered, thanks for looking anyway.

Problem solved.  It seems that Finder on a MAC has been frozen / broken so he did not see the drive.

I uninstalled the external storage drive, created a folder on the desktop and exported all the pictures that I was working on since Lightroom where.

I closed Lightroom (and upgraded to 5.5), killed the Finder and restarted my laptop.

Inserted my external storage of Lightroom and it has been recognized, grew up in Lightroom and everything was fine.
