Hard drive repair Apple lost all of my pictures and Lightroom - desperate!

I bought an iMac which was published with a defective hard drive - a manufacturing defect.

I took it for repair.

I'm little by little things most back on my computer, but nobody at Apple Li9ghtroom.

I'm a professional photographer now time250, 000 images are imported on my desk!

I want their return in their catolgues in Lightroom.

Please can someone help.

If you have backups of the Lightroom catalogs and photos, while there should be no problem. Just copy the files from the catalog and photos at their original location. No import is necessary... in fact import is the wrong thing to do if you have backups of files catalog.

If you do not have backups of your catalog files. Well well... that's a bad situation. You must import photos. According to the options you set in Lightroom (or does not), you may lose your changes and metadata supplied by the user when importing.

  • Hard Drive is crashed, lost all my Creative Suite CS5

  • My facebook page has lost all it's pictures and yet, if I connect with the Explorer, they're all still here? Any ideas?

    While on FB a few days ago the page suddenly recharged without any picture although I do not know after pressing something in particular. Despite the closure and reopening, they have not returned. However, when I connect via the Explorer on the same computer the normal FB page with photos appears.

    With Facebook on display, click on the site identity button (for more details on this button, see the How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure? section), and then click more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also the problems that cause to not show images.

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  • The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • Why my hard drive in GB available when I am freezing and deleting files?

    We try to release our c drive for more Go to allow our itunes to run, as he left recently updated due to say that there is not enough free space on our hard drive.  We did the disk cleanup, defragmentation and removed tons of files.  We uninstalled many programs last night and has space approximate, we needed, but when we have eliminated several files this morning our disk space had decreased dramatically.

    Help, please!

    He shouldn't do that, check for a virus or malware.

    The pagefile is also possible (a part of the disk hard Windows use as RAM) is expanding for some reason any. If the managed system pagefile is possible. in general, it will be double of your physical RAM.
    You can also try CCleaner & Defraggler of Piriform.
    CCleaner cleans up the registry which may contain unnecessary information of uninstalled programs, he leans on cookies, trash and other temporary items that can be cleaned.
    Defraggler is an alternative to the windows defragmentation, I personally think that it does a better job and release often huge chunks of hard drive.
    Piriform software is free to use for personal use only. There can be no ads or restrictions trail. CCleaner offers as destroy all space on the hard drive with 0, it should dissipate all "empty" space, the system can be badly interpreted as full. However written all the free space with zeros can take a lot of time and make the system busy all by.

    A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

    I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

    I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

    Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

    Help, please!

    Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.

  • IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

    I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

    < re-titled by host >

    I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

    Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

    How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

    IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

    I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

    IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

    What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • After that my computer remained at about 48 to 72 hours, he lost all internet connectivity, IE and Outlook, as well as other programs.

    original title: Internet connectivity problem

    After that my computer remained at about 48 to 72 hours, he lost all internet connectivity, IE and Outlook, as well as other programs. Before that, it works fine. If I reboot, it goes back to works very well for this period of time. I noticed I can shorten or lengthen the time that remains active of programs I run the application, primarily GOAL and iTunes. If I do not use one of the people, he can stay for about 4 days, if I use both what it comes down to 2 days.

    About 2-3 months ago, my computer started to do this. I've been troubleshooting on and outside since then, but as it was not any extreem yet I was not too concerned. However, recently the problem has progressed. It started with she it around every 7 days, so I could live with it. However, I do not restart my computer every day, so I'm hoping to solve this problem.
