Help restore the backup catalog

Hello

PSE made a mess on the dates of my video clips in the Organizer (who is the subject of another thread). Before you perform a full restore of my backup months old, I want to restore ONLY the catalog it (not the image files) and do coexist with my current messed up catalog. This way I can see if the problem is in the database or in files of video clips.

I would like to know what files I have to leave my set to my catalog restored backup to work. To prepare for this post, I looked at help | Info by the system to search for the location of the folder that contains the current catalog. Inside this folder there are some subfolers and some files as follows:

Subfolders:

breezeData

CAXMPFiles

Style

SyncDB

Files:

backupCt.dat

Catalog.pse8db

collstatus.dat

Thumb.5.cache

Watch.2.cache

((1) which files I have to restore and 2) where should I place them so that the restored catalog works properly?

Because the restored catalog will have the same name as my current, how can I open it in the Organizer without deleting the current?

It seems that the catalog file is not the name of the catalog itself, as it was a few versions ago. For example, my catalogue is called "My catalog", but the database file is named "catalog.pse8db".

Remember I want to ONLY restore the catalog database; not the actual image files.

Thank you for your help

The entire folder containing the "catalog.pse8db" represents the appropriate catalog.  The name of the folder gives the name of the catalog. You can restore this folder anywhere you want, but it can be convenient to restore in the same parent folder containing your current catalog file (help > System Info to find this place).

A shortcut that is convenient to open any catalog is double-click on "catalog.pse8db" of Windows Explorer.

If you are synchronizing with Photoshop.com, remember to turn off sync from the opening of the restored catalog.  Otherwise confusion might ensue.

  • How to restore a backup catalog of my images on a new iMac

    I have one all my images of almost 700 GB Lightroom Catalog

    I did a backup of the settings catalogue (without images) one day before the death of my old iMac

    I also have a backup of the images via Time Machine (made daily)

    I bought a new iMac and copied images inside of Time Machine - keep the same folder structure. I also have the settings saved on the new machine Catalog backup.

    My question is: in the newly installed copy of LR on my new machine, how can I restore and apply this saved catalog related images which are now on my new iMac?  Can I do a new import of images in LR and then somehow apply the catalog, or I load the catalog and then point it to the pictures, that respect?  I tried the latter and all I get is a screen full of blank thumbnails with question marks on them.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi KurtHeck

    • Choose file > open catalog.
    • Navigate to the location of your backup catalog file.
    • Select the backup the .lrcat file and click Open.

  • To restore the backup of information to my new iPhone 7, I had to update iTunes.  I did it on my computer, but when I plug my phone into the computer, it tells me that I need the latest version of iTunes.  What should I do?

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes to restore the backup of my new iPhone 7.  When I plug my computer into iPhone 7, I get the message that I need to update iTunes.  It is to show that I have updated the latest version, so I now do not know what to do.  Need help!

    In iTunes, go to the ' about iTunes' topic. What version do you currently use?

    What version of OS are you using on your computer?

    Your new phone should you use iTunes 12.5.1 requiring 10.9.5 OSX or higher.

  • After that I restored the backup Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup, any of my accounts table. I checked that they are in need of backup, lift the mail.

    I backed up my 24 Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup. I did what I had to change one of my accounts. After making the changes, I decided to restore the backup I took. Restore seems to work and I checked the profile is correct and e-mail accounts are in the mail folder. However, when I run Thunderbird, only the Local folder is displayed, any of my email accounts. I really need to get this working I have very important data in the email. Thanks for your help.

    Did you change the path where the mail files?

    And, you use local folders in the GUI of TB to store messages?
    Did not have that clearly in your post.

    According to what you actually did Re: evolution of the accounts, & if the backup has been restored in the way (profile) accounts (and the profiles.ini file) think they are in. if the profile is now in a different path, you will need to change the path in the file profiles.ini to reflect the correct path.

    Also, sometimes after restore or do other work, the *.msf files in e-mail files get damaged or simply confused. The .msf files are in the same folder as the Inbox, sent, etc.. They are the index files - not electronic mail storage files. (the mail storage files do not have extensions).

    Often, when the email that actually exist in the mail files does not show in the accounts, remove only files *.msf in each acct mail storage file will correct it. This is the easiest step to try, but again - it depends on actions leading to the question.

    They will be recreated when TB restarts & apparently can "fix" themselves, to redisplay stored messages. Unless something on current storage files is corrupted.

  • Can I reset my MacBook Air and restore the backup I made before to reduce others' storage space?

    Hello

    so I have the 126 GB MacBook Air. My problem is that the other takes 87 GB!

    So can I reset my laptop and restore the backup later like you do with iPhones to reduce the "other"?

    I guess this could work, but I'm afraid something away...

    I hope that there is someone who can help me!

    Thank you!

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with 'other' as long it's documents, etc. that you need.

    Make a backup and a restore just grow what you have now. I would not recommend it.

    If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

  • Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

    Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

    However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

    I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

    All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

    Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

    I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

    Hello Reggie999,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

    If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.

  • How do I restore the backup from iPad Mini if the button "restore backup...". "is grayed out?

    Hello

    Yesterday, I tried to downgrade my iPad Mini 2 (128 GB) of 9.3 to 9.2 of iOS in DFU mode. Before that, I backed up my iPad in iTunes. After decommissioning, apparently all of my 3rd party apps have been wiped out, and that left me with a huge 'other' part of the use of the iPad. So I decided to reset the iPad and erase everything. I noticed that after the reset, the iOS returned to 9.2.1.

    When I plugged the iPad to my computer later, and tried to restore the backup, I got the message "the backup cannot be restored for iPad because the software is too old". In addition, in the iTunes iPad summary page, the button "restore backup... "is grayed out.

    I guess it's because I backed up my iPad to iOS 9.3, and now it's 9.2.1. But y at - it another way to restore backup of iTunes? Or do I have to update to 9.3 first? iOS 9.3 is currently unavailable (last week it was, however).

    Thank you!

    You cannot restore a more recent iOS backup on a device that has an older iOS. You have saved when running iOS 9.3 and your device is now in 9.2.1. You must update the device until backup, you can ise. Unfortunately, as you know, the update is no longer available. Apple shoot because there were significant problems.

    Read more here.

    For those having issues with the iOS 9.3 update please read...

  • Cannot restore the backup of the iPhone

    I just did a DFU restore on my iPhone 5s. I am running Windows 7. I have created a complete PC Backup in iTunes that is listed in the devices list in the preferences.  When I try to restore this backup on the restored phone, that the backup is not available in the drop-down menu of the backups.  Only my iPad is here.  I think that remember me something related to the backup that was created with an older version of iOS.  The phone 9.2, I think it was an upgrade after the DFU.  My iPad has 9.2.1 and I thought they were on the same version.  Anyway, how to restore the backup that is listed in the devices?  I have not either a backup for this phone.  I have to downgrade the phone to the previous version of iOS?  This seems strange to me.  Or maybe that I have to get the phone on instead of 9.2 9.2.1?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    As far as I know, iOS 9.2.1 is a beta, so maybe it's the cause.

    BTW, discuss software in beta on a public forum is not a good idea.
