Accidentally moved all the pictures into folders separated in single folder!
So somehow I managed to pass all my photo of my work out of their respective files, well organized files in a single folder. I can't figure out how. All 15 588 of them... now unorganized in one folder. 'Undo' didn't work and I tried to restore from a backup of the catalog without success. Also... my backup Time Machine refuses to restore because the drive is messed up, so it's useless. Lightroom has still all recognized records in the catalog, but the pictures are missing, (?) and not just "d - link" them and point Lightroom for photos in the new folder.
So guess my question is, can I I go to each folder in lightroom and physically move all the photos that were previously in this NEW folder in this folder on the system automatically? It seems that lightroom recognizes the folders used to exist here... just can't find them. Well, I know that they are all in a folder and would like Lightroom to move them all back into their appropriate folders. In this way, when I search a folder on my computer (not in lightroom), the folder that contains the photos that used to be there. I hope this makes sense. I use Lightroom 4.1 on a Mac OSX version 10.8.3. Thanks for any help.
My apologies in advance: I did not read all of the background messages.
If I understand correctly:
* Folder structure in Lightroom is intact (but the folders/files are considered to be 'missing').
* Folder on the disc structure has been flattened (all files are now in a single folder, instead of a tree).
If that's true, this plugin will solve your problem:
(he has a test mode to see exactly what it will do before you commit to actually do).

Moved all the pictures, lost all links
So, I bought the iMac 27 '' new. I have kept all my photos on an external drive, but decided to use it for the back upward and move all the photos on 3 TB merger in car of the new iMac. I have traveled outside of Lightroom. Of course, when I did, I missed all the bindings.
4.3 Lightroom poster now thumbnails of all my photos, none of my records in the catalog window, all my collections saved. What is the most effective way for LR to post a link to my newly located file (internal) photos my catalog?
Thank you, John
The question that is on the drive the folder Macintosh HD parent 'Pictures' appears twice in the hierarchy. Assuming that is the you have tried first of all be reprinted, which both files 'Images' have you tried to link to?
I guess when you have made the move, you place the structure of the 'Images' folder under "All files of Photos", but when you tried to recreate a link to selected the 'Images' folder which is located above "all photos"?
Because of this slight complication, you may be better advised trying to link five records below 'Pictures', i.e. ' ensembles, other real, family, friends, vacation "... you will probably get the message ' Merge ' to 'Family' that now appears on the disc Mac HD, but it should be OK to accept... it's a problem if you start at the subfolder level you always have to work top-down.

I have just three pictures I want to load my usb for my macbook camera style.
The camera has only 3 pictures on it, but iPhoto seems to have a memory of each photo, that I took because I've updated to the latest iPhoto and it wants to load on the page which is for the camera.

Why will it erase all the pictures on my computer? How can I save them?
You don't have to do anything. When you open your iPhoto library with the new photo app that the existing library is migrated to a new library of Photos. However, as with any operation should have a current backup before proceeding.

Adobe first Clip does not see all the pictures/videos are stored internally
How can I get Adobe first Clip to see all the pictures/videos that I know are stored in the internal memory of my iPhone?
Hi tech-comm-Archbishop there!
Are some of your photos/videos stored in the cloud? For the moment, Premiere Clip does not support storage cloud and all tracks audio/videos/images must be saved locally on your device. Let me know if this fits your situation.
See you soon!

I had a problem with Lightroom on Microsoft Surface 3. I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map. The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '. I worked around this by mounting a network directory containing photos and imported from there. Is it possible to stop Lightroom to see such a map as a camera?
I have not tested, but it should work with Lightroom:

Not sure what happens if you remove the card and put in a similar SD card. I would like to test it so that you know what to expect.

Try to disable the GPU under Edit > Preferences > performance. (Lightroom > Preferences on Mac)
Uncheck the box use Graphics Processor.
