How can I restore lost everything in LR3

I am completely new to LH.  Was working on a version of trial-download LR3 with photos stored on an external hard drive.  Unplugged the HD to use with another laptop, which seems to have erased the memory of LH3 of everything I've done: edits, collections, same Flickr set in place.  Am completely confused, have no idea where to start even to look at.  Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Catalog of files have an extension of .lrcat (the first letter is an L btw)

Normally the catalogues are stored in your Pictures\Lightroom\ folder (the location of exact path depends on your operating system)

Backups are normally in your \Pictures\Lightroom\Backups\ folder and a folder with a name that matches the date of the backup 0835 2010-07-29 for example. Inside of the folder will be a LRCAT file called something like Lightroom-3 database.

It is possible to change the default location for these files.

  • How can I restore lost address and search bars?

    I clicked on something in the search bar options, and the search bar and the url address bar disappeared. So, how to restore the address bar and the search bar?

    Hi jackk1, you need to click right into an empty space in one of the toolbars at the top of your browser window and click on "Navigation Toolbar".

    If you still do not have the address bar or the search bar, you must click right into an empty space as before and click "Customize." You should then find the address bar or the search bar in the new window, and you can drag the this window on the navigation bar. Then close the window 'Customize' and that should be fine.

  • How can I restore lost e-mails? __

    new modem installed yesterday. Had a connection problem. After that it has been resolved all my saved emails had disappeared.

    Also cannot access my contacts anymore.

    Considering that you have lost your mails from Outlook...

    Search for the file in the following location

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

    If this file exists, try opening Outlook,

    Or any file in this location with extension (.pst), infact if you have set the location for the configuration account on Outlook and then look at that particular place.

    If you still can't find find the complete C: drive.

    If you can't find so nothing else, but you have to say Bye-Bye to those e-mails.

    I hope it works for you.

    How can I completely erase everything off of my computer's memory?

    You mean a clean to factory settings install; as in the way in which you bought it.

    Read the info below:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
