Help!  I looked at my files "backup", and now ALL my pictures are more 'related' to Lightroom.

I thought I was missing some files, so I looked at my backup files.  I received a 'warning' that Lightroom would restart and display my backup files.  I have NOT received any warning, that there is NO GOING BACK!  I've tried everything.  I can't add a link to ONE of my pictures.  Well, I just did an and he told me all the other photos in the folder have been corrupted and Lightroom would not be able to edit (and no, it wasn't an exported .jpeg file).  Fortunately, I am not concerned about this issue, that's why I tested it.  I have moved all my pictures from my C drive on my D drive because for some reason strange on this computer, my D drive is 5 times bigger and I ran out of room.  When I did, I was able to recreate a link to all the photos.  Unfortunately, it didn't keep my records, he has them just relinked in chronological order.  I can deal with, even if he did find much more difficult shots, but I wasn't about to try to rename one of them and have to recreate a link to the new.

Now, I can't repeat an any of them because it appears in Lightroom that all photos are back on the C drive and as a result, the new pictures that I placed on the D drive aren't there, and nothing is re-issued, period, not even those who was originally on my C drive!

I have never been so aggravated in my life.  I you LOVE features of Lightroom.  I have version 2.3.  When I search on the help online, all I get is how the photos are in some place they have been saved, but they are linked, etc..  I already know that part.  I seriously wish that I had NEVER looked at my backup files.  I don't think I'll bother backing up stuff more because apparently looking at the backup mess up everything.

I fully expected that I would be able to go back, choose my folders on my D drive and have all my current pictures available.  Unfortunately, not.

My user name should be FREAKED OUT!

Great, now go open recent (in the folder) and open the catalog from the other and see if you get them all connected.

  • Upgrade to Lightroom 4.1 and now all my pictures are gone

    Just upgraded to Lightroom 4.1 and now all my pictures have disappeared. Most of them are still on my computer but they are original and none of my published ones.

    Most likely, you have not opened the good Lightroom catalog file.

    Use the features of your operating system to find your hard drives for any file whose name ends with. LRCAT. For each one that you find, open it with Lightroom 4 using the Lightroom file-> open the catalog

  • Updated to 5.5 LR and now all my pictures are psychedelic (?)

    Hello

    I just upgraded from LR 4 to the latest version.  When I try to watch the RAW files on the tab to the point, they all look like this one: a bit like a sort of dye tie abstract thing.  The thumbnails at the bottom of the screen look good.  Here are all the files that have worked to fin in my previous version.

    Does anyone have ideas, what happens?

    I think by "latest version" you meant LR 6.6 or LR CC 2015.6?   If so, try to uncheck the option preferences > performance > CPU graph use.   See here for more details: Adobe Lightroom GPU troubleshooting and FAQ

  • I have synced my iPad and now all my pictures are gone

    I have the first addition of the iPad, I recently to sync my iPad on my mac pro, when I did, it was updated with the most recent photos - but how do you get the old photos that were the first on this subject?

    I looked my iCloud account to try to see if they are there to pull up, but I'm having no luck? All suggestions are welcome!

    Whenever you sync photos from your Mac Pro to your iPad, it replaces all the photos that were already there and not yet chosen to be synchronized...

    I expect that if you were only synchronization from your Mac Pro to your iPad, these photos are still on your Mac Pro somewhere.

    If you have the first generation iPad, you are probably not able to use the services of Photo to iCloud. It requires iOS 8.x and later and you'd only 5.x I think.

    Please tell us exactly what you mean by "system recovery." And exactly how you did.

    If you mean the system recovery provides the manufacturer of your computer, what it does is to restore the computer to the State it is in when it left the factory. Yes, all your photos and anything else put you on the disk is gone.

    For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

    To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

    Menu help > about Firefox

  • I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

    I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

    I tried the holding of 'command-r' and 'option' to see if the problem can be resolved or try any boot from a boot disk, my old backup, USB function start - but after a slow long process it all just stops.

    There is software on my HD that I don't want to lose by simply reformatting the computer, because I am now in a different country, far from my house, which is another problem of the Apple Store, to reinstall my OS from Yosemite on the www.
