Catalog disappeared from the left panel of the Library tab

I currently work with a trial version of Lightroom 4.2 and I made a few mistakes. The end result is that the catalog has disappeared from the left panel of the Library tab is to say I only see folders, collections and Services to publish...

I tried to use the file/new catalog open catalog and open the recent item but, in any case, I get an error box that appears: "..." Catalog address made reference to a location that is unavailable' it does not help to close and reopen LR

Now for the confession as to how this situation developed. I had been using LR willingly using the catalog that was created automatically when I started. So I decided to try to create a new catalog, in fact I ended up creating a few new catalogues. Having then decided that it was a stupid idea, I decided to remove all catalogs and start over with a catalog that I had put up (I was not worried about losing the updates for the photos that I had been playing with)

But, as I could find nothing in LR on the removal of catalogs, I decided to remove them through Windows Explorer. When I went back to LR, catalogue was always on display in the Panel on the left and, when I looked in the Explorer, it is in the My Pictures/Lightroom folder that I thought that I had deleted along with all the other catalogues of origin. No doubt it had been recreated automatically as in my original use of LR

Then, I composed my errors by clicking on the + right of the catalog and interest, choose what was at the top of the resulting list. It is at this time that catalog disappeared never to be seen again.

Sorry about the labyrinthine tale of woe, but, if anyone has any ideas on how I can get back to testing LR, I'd love to know. Now I'm completely blocked

Another small request: is it possible to change the name of the catalog without creating a new catalog?

Sure. Close Lightroom, then browse the catalog (.lrcat file) using the Finder or the Solution Explorer, and then rename it. The only thing is to make sure that you rename also in tandem with the adjacent Previews folder.

So, if your catalog is called, say, 'Lightroom Catalog.lrcat of 4' and you rename to something like "My Master LR4 Catalog.lrcat", then you will need to rename the folder "Lightroom 4 catalog Previews.lrdata" adjacent to "My Master LR4 catalog Previews.lrdata".

  • Apple Music - Albums disappear from the library of Apple?

    Hey brilliant minds,.

    I'm digging music Apple, but I have the impression that they continue to move my cheese. I'll listen to an album, not usually add it to the local device unfortunately then I look for the album and it is gone.

    The songs are able to be searched in the system individually, but not in the list of reading/album format. Pretty frustrating. Apart from many examples, the most recent is Magical Mystery Tour - the Beatles. Thursday, it's in their library, Sunday, it's as if it never happened. All the songs are there, but I can't find the album in the library for a consistent experience. It is the latest example, but I struggled through it before.

    You all see this album in the library? Suck my research skills? I tried iOS Mac/Windows and iPhone/Pad. Again, played through it days ago, so he was there. Thank you!

    Well, this example is back in their library. Pretty weird, but the end result = win

  • My Documents disappeared from the library, although I can see them in the C drive

    The other day I copied all 'my documents' to another drive (for backup).   Now, when I try to use my library, he thinks that I have MOVED my documents on the backup drive.

    When I open the library in my C drive, it only shows public documents (for my homegroup).  The 'my documents' part of the library is empty.

    When I try to open 'my documents' by going to users/username/mydocuments, I get "access denied".

    How to restore my library of C:MyDocuments?

    PS: If I right click on 'My Documents' there is NO tab 'LOCATION '.

    If you open Windows Explorer, right-click on the document library, you should be able to select properties and display records that are included in this library.

    Then you should be able to add the original documents to the library folder and keep the backup location or delete the new backup location.

    If you view the security settings for the My Documents folder, does show your user as the owner account?  This is perhaps the reason for the lack of tab location and access denied...

    Is there a location tab the new backup location?

    Before a system restore, you may be able to restore just a previous version of the My Documents folder by right-clicking and selecting previous versions of restoration or by selecting Properties from the context menu and by selecting the tab of previous versions Derek Schauland, MCSE | Microsoft MVP - file system storage | Technology Addict

    The computer is still not clean or the malware did too much damage to the operating system. First of all, make sure that the computer is really clean looking at these removal steps:

    The base Panel disappeared from the develop Module. I've been processing photos. When I went to a new photo to treat, the Panedl base disappeared.

    Any help on recovering it.

    Weird, you need to register, you should be able to view the content as a guest.

    No matter, simply right-click on one of the other Panel headers and select the base Panel from the list that appears.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 All in one – disappear from the HP Solution Center guard

    Background:

    I have two HP all-in-one devices, at the office of one while a 8500 A909a and at home and Officejet 7310 all in one.

    My Dell laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit.

    I had the laptops and printers for several years, the two were connected through connectiosn fine wired via routers with printing/scanning also up and running by the HP Solution Center.

    If I work in the office and he wanted to scan a document I woul open Solution Center and left two printers would come to the top. I could click on the installed 8500 in the office and it worked fine. Even if I was at home I opened Solution Center, click the 7310 and could very well sweep.

    Problem:

    In recent weeks the 8500 keeps disappearing from the HP Solution Center. He still appears in Control Panel and other applictaiosn of windows like Word and I can print again, BUT not is more visible in the solution Center.

    I load the installation of the driver software (recently downloaded from the website of HP, file name OJP8500vA909_Full_14 (1)) and charging/install the 8500. It takes about 20 minutes to make. The 8500 appears then, but with a suffix like Officejet 8500 (7) after him in the solution Center.

    I can scan then very well but the next day when I start and get to the center of the Solution, it has disappeared again. It's infuriating and wastes a lot of time.

    Please tell us what can I do to load the correct software once and for all for allowing me to use two printers without them disappearing from the solution Center.

    Thanks in advance.

  • All my posts have disappeared from the Inbox.

    I realized there is a similar problem posted, but proposed solutions don't work here and the details here are different.

    All messages have disappeared from the Inbox. The sent box is fine, but deleted from the Inbox messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    A search of the Inbox for messages of size > 0 allows me to see the messages and respond to them.
    If I move a message to another folder the moved message is invisible but believes it is search.

    Deleted messages are in the trash folder, but is not visible. A search in the trash finds them.

    Messages in the search boxes reuse (response, delete), but try to delete a selected message in the search box list has no effect.

    I found a solution. I can't take credit, but I tell you that I was almost embarrassed the simplicity of the solution and the problem.

    Why my old emails disappear from the cloud?  After only a month or two, they are gone! (and I pay extra each month more space!)

    Hello Unhappywoman,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that old emails are deleted after a month. This can be due to behaviors of the mailbox defined for your iCloud account.

    The following article explains how to look at these settings. My suspicion is that the section "permanently erase deleted messages when:" is set at one month old.

    Use Mail preferences to set or change options for e-mail accounts , you use mail and to work with messages and mailboxes. Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click a preferences panel for the options:

    • Accounts: Add, remove, and disable your email accounts in mail. Use only the part of the mailbox behaviors to control how the project, junk, sent, and deleted (or "Basket") messages are stored. Advanced pane includes options for messages, attachments and more.
