Impossible to restore the catalog LR6

I am running LR6 on PC. I accidentally deleted my current catalog, as well as the .lrcat files that allow me to open/reinstall my catalog. I seem to have backup catalogs, but when I try to open them to restore, Lr tells me "no element not corresponding to your research." The files in my folder LR are: backups, Preview.lrdata LR catalog, Smart Catalog Previews.lrdata LR, LR catalog.lrcat - journal and LR 5 catalog.lrcat.lock. There is a .zip file in the backups folder, but when I try to extract it, a window pops up that says "LR cannot use the datalog named lightroom Catalog.lrcat because it is not writable and cannot be opened." Could I have a few master files that are gone now I can't restore? I have 2-3 years of imports that I can't find, so any help is appreciated.

Yes.

.lrcat-journal is only a temporary file which contains some information editing, but usually only existing with an accompaniment. LOCK file. It can be removed safely.

catalog previews.lrdat may also be deleted as LR will be re - build previews automatically.

If your catalog of work is still on the desktop, it can be moved back in the original location, which could be - C:\My Pictures/Lightroom /

  • Restore the catalog from the NAS - PSE 13

    All media (pictures, videos) stored on an external NAS, an extensive catalog was stored on my HARD drive and saved on the NAS server.

    When my hard drive crashed, I tried to restore the catalog, but he could not 'connect' to existing media still on the NAS, but instead I had to restore all media on a differrent drive.

    I'm looking for is the ability to simply restore the "database" and connect it to the existing media.

    Is there such a possibility in PSE 13?

    Also, I would be grateful for an explanation of the different files PES creates in a catalog. The files contain the actual "database"? Can these files be saved directly without using the "catalogue of back-up" - command to post-secondary studies?

    Yes, it's how a backup of the Organizer. You cannot use the backup yourself, it is not a simple "copy" of your photo files folder field of the plantation. It is a resource for the process of restoration of the catalog. You cannot 'connect' in the backup folder. But the huge advantage is that you can restore your catalog (database and other resources) so your image files.

    No problem.

    The catalog itself is not a file, it is a complete folder containing your database: a file named ' catalog.pse13db, which is a database sqlite; more than many other files and subfolders.

    Looking for the location of the catalog in the menu help/information system of the Organizer. You may need to do a search with Windows Explorer for file catalog.pse13db.

    It is simple to copy or move the catalog folder. Because its content is not changed when you move or copy, it is easy to "Save" and "restore" the catalog itself.

    The problem is that if the content of the catalog do not change the location of the file changes when you restore to a different location (disk or main folder). You must "reconnect" files, which is to change the location of each file that is saved in the database.

    Knowing the purpose of all the files and subfolders in the folder catalog probably will not help you. To 'reconnect', you will need to use sql queries to change the catalog.pse13db database.

  • Satellite P840 - impossible to restore the image of the system from 8.1 to win

    I have laptop Toshiba P840 accompanying windows 8.0.
    I created backups of DVD and USB

    After upgrade to 8.1 windows and backup images, I had a software problem and had to go back to a previous return in windows 8.1.

    Restore from the external HARD drive fails due to driver incompatibilities.
    Technical support advise to restore windows 8.0 and then switch again to windows 8.1
    Is there a better way to restore the windows 8.1 image?

    Is it possible to fill the boot usb (from windows 8 as the original) to 8.1 windows drivers?
    I am unable to create boot usb with windows 8.1 as the partition of hard drive has windows 8.0

    Thank you

    Modification of the original recovery image is not possible then I agree with technical support. For your new and clean OS installation should be the basic recovery image so install it again and then do the update for new Win8.1.

    Everything you can do in the future is to create the own Win8.1, but for this recovery image, you use some third-party software of the part.

  • Windows complete PC Backup Image - impossible to restore the backup on my laptop after the restoration of the C drive.

    My user profile is not loaded correctly, and so Sony told me to do a restore of the C drive which took my drive C back to factory settings and lost all my programs and files.  I tried since then to restore the Windows Image backup I did on my external hard drive.

    I open backup and Restore Center, click Advanced Restore, click Advanced Restore again.  The box application to what you want to restore?  The only option is to files from a backup made on a different computer.  I click Next, and he said: select the location of the backup to restore.  Hard drive, cd or dvd option has already found new Volume (e), which is my external hard drive.

    I click Next again, and he says, select dates to restore from.  The only option in the box is dated 2008-01-12 14:14:34 backup location is not available.  My external hard drive has multiple backups on it, including the Windows Backup Image (which was the first backup, I did and it contains 152 GB), and so I do not understand this.

    I continue, and then click Next.  It now says select files and folders to be restored, but there is nothing in the box.  I have check the restore everything in this backup box and click Next.  I save the files restored to the following location - check and navigate to the C drive.  I also check both boxes: restore files to their original subfolders and create a subfolder for the drive letter.  I click on begin to restore, and then he said:

    Restoration was unsuccessful.  Error: the parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)

    I'm desperate to be able to get my programs and files back on my laptop.  I don't understand why the restore function can not see my Windows Backup Image, and why this is so difficult.  I've read other complaints by users about this, but cannot find a solution.

    I look forward to hear from you.

    Thank you.

    Hi HGHFaith,

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1 : Clean boot the computer and then try to restore

     

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    If the problem persists,

    Step 2: Run Check disk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    b. type E: (external drive) and press enter

    c. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

    Now, type chkdsk/r

     Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Check whether the problem is resolved

  • Impossible to restore the MBR using Bootrec.exe

    I recently installed Ubuntu with Windows 8 so that I got dualboot. After a while, I decided Ubuntu wasn't my cup of tea, and I wanted to remove and restore the partition that it used for the Windows partition. I also wanted to restore the MBR. According to this guide , I have deleted the two volumes dedicated to Linux and extended Windows partition. When the computer reboots, I discovered that something had happened to the Grub - I guess I deleted something I shouldn't. It now shows the following during startup:

    GNU GRUB version 2.00 - 19ubuntu2.1

    Minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible completions of device or file.

    grub >

    Type the comand "output" translates a start meny quite similar to the old one (Grub):

    I can boot Windows as normal by choosing option 3. The USB at the bottom is my recovery disk. Booting from it, I can enter the command prompt. I tried all the options of Bootrec.exe as described here:

    However, it is always the GNU GRUB, which is displayed when you restart. I noticed that the /ScanOS and /RebuildBcd States that total identified Windows installations is 0.

    I also tried to export and delete the BCD store and then rebuild using the following commands:

    • bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    • c:
    • Boot CD
    • BCD attrib s h - r
    • Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    • Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    However, this is reflected by the following:

    Someone has ideas how to restore my old MBR?

    Update:

    After fully cleaning my drive, the Gnu Grub has disappeared. "Just remove my files" did not help.

  • How to restore the catalog section to its original state?

    For a previous book, I deleted some tags in the catalog section out-of-the-box. Now I don't have the full set of STANDARD tags for use in a new book.

    I have an old document with all tags OOTB, and I can import these tags from the new book. But it would be much easier to simply go back to the original catalogue. Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you

    JP

    FrameMaker is demanding a model? Are you sure you follow him

    good measures? To open a new blank document:

    1. Choose file > new > Document (or Ctrl + N). The 'New' dialog box opens.

    2. click on either the Portrait, landscape or customizing the buttons at the top

    of the dialog box. This will create a new blank document, with default

    tags ("out of the box").

    3. open the paragraph catalog. The following default paragraph formats

    must include:

    Body

    Flea

    CellBody

    CellHeading

    Reference

    Title 1

    Title2

    HeadingRunIn

    Indented

    Numbered

    Numbered1

    TableFootnote

    TableTitle

    Title

    You can then import these tags in a document or book:

    1. open both the file to import (in the blank document)

    and the file you want to import to.

    2. click on the file you want to import. (Or, in a .book file,

    Select as many files as you want to import in).

    3. Choose file > import > formats. Select the document that you want to import

    of in the "Import of Document" drop list, and then uncheck the box

    everything but the paragraph Formats (if you want to import only

    paragraph formats).

    4. click on Import *.

    5. who should do it. The default paragraph formats should now be added

    to your existing document.

    • Caveat! If you have formats in your document with the same

    name, they will be replaced with the properties of the imported

    formats with the same name in the blank document. So, if you

    Customize paragraph in your existing document formats, your

    customizations will be lost.

    My apologies if I tell you what you already know. I do not have

    idea if you are a beginner or experienced user.

    Deletion of a paragraph in the section permanently catalog format

    Removes from THIS document and this document ONLY. It does not affect

    another document, current or future.

  • Restore the catalog and links after the C disk failures

    My drive C crashed recently so I replaced it with a new drive and I'm trying to reinstall all my software. My photos were all on my drive D (which is not affected). I managed to get my old C drive, works again and I installed it as a slave (now K) drive.

    I find the folder 'My project' on the old C drive and copied to the folder my pictures on my D drive.

    I then clicked file > catalog > location custom and traveled to the new location for my catalog. However, when I click on open, it waits a few seconds then the dialog box disappears and returns to the main photowell (empty): "no items match this combination of filters...» "(The filters are all checked..)

    As any of my photos have moved and I still have the orginal catalog file, I was hoping that I could just point the PE9 instal new to the catalog and everything would look as if nothing had happened... Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? I've been watching the forum posts all day and not found anything quite like my situation or solutions that help.

  • LR has been impossible to export the catalog previews and negative

    My first post in this forum.  I want to delete all of my iMac to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and then charge back.  First job is to "Export as catalog" all my photos (about 6000) since the Mac to an external hard drive (Maxtor OneTouch 4Plus, 450 GB of available).  I tried 6 or 7 times and each time getting a similar message - see line object.  I deleted unnecessary files, managed to get rid of unused keywords and exported 2000 odd of my previous pictures in JPEG format to archive in order to reduce the volume.  I reloaded LR and updated to 2.6.  In the export dialog box, I ticked 'Export negative files' and 'include available Previews.  Export gets to about three-quarters of the way through each time until I get the error message and I have to give up.

    Appreciate any assistance.

    Raymond
    Melbourne, Australia

    All THE PHOTOS is included in your LR folder hierarchy?  If this isn't the case, then you must click the right button (or whatever the equivalent of Mac) on one of the folders in your hierarchy of LR and choose to include the Parent folder.  Once you have done this and everything copied, you can file missing just locate on a high back and you will find everything under it.  If you have not the parent folder in LR before copying, you will need to locate the missing files on each of the top-level folders.

    Once you have copied your pictures, you can rename your local copy of all THE PHOTOS to make sure that you do not accidentally, and then locate the missing folder to make sure it works on the remote location.

    Once you are satisfied with your catalog is to see all distance and when you're ready, copy your catalog and your previews and backup folders above and rename the local copy of the Lightroom to open accidentally this copy of the catalog, even once.  I copy things, instead of moving them, in case something happens, you can start over.

    If you immediately update your mac, then copy all three documents, other than iChat ones, pictures on your remote disc and open the remote catalog and find files while missing only one.  I suggest take only pictures, first of all, in case you want to continue to work on the pictures, the local copy of the catalogue will be faster, but if you're ready to upgrade, then simply make all copies at the same time.  All THE PHOTOS and excerpts will be time-consuming copies, catalog, itself, will not take very long.

  • Lost my favorites in the sidebar has only 3 icons with (untitled), impossible to restore the bookmarks and cannot add bookmark. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox: no change.

    Firefox crashed, and a message appeared on the Internet (I couldn't understand it, and I'm not able to remember). The problem seems serious, first of all, I scanned my registry with Registry Mechanic, and then I checked the status of my drive with Performance Toolkit, which has identified a low level and offered to clean the computer. I agree with you. And when I tried to reopen Firefox I discovered that the 3 icons in the sidebar with (untitled), that the bookmarks were gone and I could not restore, nor add anything.

  • 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.
