  • How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.

    If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.

    Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.

    Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.

    Is this the same problem as above, or another?

    I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.

    Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

    When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

    Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

    Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

    Norman

    When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

    also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

  • My maintenance utility tells me that my prefetch folder files have been deleted.

    Original title: prefetch files

    My maintenance utility tells me that files in my prefetch folder have been deleted... what it means and I can get them back or do I need to?  Never heard of these before

    These things are scams if you paid for it. They do nothing good for you. I recommend that you stop using it because it does not speed up your computer. In particular the registry functions.

    Don't worry about the prefetch files. They will reform.

    The Prefetch files are there to make your programs start faster. In fact, I doubt that you can measure the amount of time with a stopwatch.

  • Registry files have been deleted via a Norton 360 3.0 registry clean up - can't get an ip address from the router

    I'm running Vista Ultimate, -connection (Ethernet) with Verizon FIOS I ran a Norton registry clean and foolishly trust what he says to remove.

    At first, all of my USB cards have been screwed up (noted in the Device Manager with exclamation next to each one points)
    I did a system restore and that corrects this problem, but now I'm having a problem with my network card.
    , All diagnostic tests, etc. show that the material is very good. My router is also fine the problem is that windows can't get an IP address from the router and then assigns his own
    (a # 169 instead of a # 192)
    In the network connection properties, it says that the device is functioning correctly, and the driver is up-to-date.
    'Connection speed' tab: a window of diagnosstics is: I ran testto test adapters connect to connect to the network.
    Results: connection Test
    Test details:

    I also have a sort of ping command here-cant remember the command, but the results were in the CBS... I didn't know how to reach. He however escape from something on the registry files.

    I went throughD-Link Tech router (router) support is good, Fios Tech support everything set up right, - Norton support(Norton denies that the files were not to be touched-although their report shows these registry files were deleted)-Dell Tech support because my warranty missed 3 weeks ago - although I still have the "your Tech Support team until 2013 - which is valid only if you have a hardware warranty-made no sense sold me the car without. the engine - directed the FTC to bring a complaint about it - after I get this fixed number.

    I hope someone can help... by the way I get perfectly in line with my laptop - I know this isn't my router. I'm sure it's due to some registry files being moved-(j'ai eu deles de messages d'erreur indiquant que les fichiers de Registre ont été endommagées ou manquantes) what do I do now? No system restore to restore this part of the register - I also installed the drivers from the dell drivers and Utilities disc - but maybe I've done that correctly? I put the disc - extract files-(he says they have been unpacked) was a new step for me to do after that? Help, please!
    Thank you!

    Hello
     
    We recommend that you install the router (see its manual) and the pilot of NIC once more and check the difference. In the first post, you mentioned that you decompressed or extracted files. Once the files are extracted, you will be asked to install the driver. However if you do not receive any prompts for the driver, then you will need to locate the destination folder where the files are checked to find the configuration file.

    Open the destination folder where the files are extracted and run the Setup file to complete the installation.
     
    To download and install the latest network card driver, visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the device or system.
     
     
    I hope this helps.
    Kind regards
