Laptop computer crashed can't recover my images


Hello

I hope that somewhere in there, there's someone who can help me. I feel such a twit!

I was a student of the Institute of photography, and while I was learning that I had the opportunity to purchase LR at the student rate. I bought in 2014 and downloaded on my laptop. I continued to use LR for almost two years.

All my images have been uploaded via LR and of course any changes that I never did object a follow-up here. My NEF files (I shoot Nikon) are saved in two external hard drives.

My laptop broke down and I have no second copy of LR and all my connections ect were on a spreadsheet on the laptop (I know I know STUPID)

I'm not QUITE technical and I'm completely lost. I have several people telling me to do a factory reset on my laptop which is fine but I just used for the fire and go straight into LR I didn't need to log it has been left with autologon etc..

I just don't know what to do. All my questions IT fell to my best friend who took care of all the things like that for me. Unfortunately he died and I have no more time to ask him. I'm devastated.

Please can someone help

Lisa :-)

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for posting on Adobe Forums.nous will try our best to help recover lost data if you have'nt in the format of the machine.

Do you know if your catalog is stored on your computer or external hard drive?

If you can get the laptop hard drive to work with a different laptop, you can get the Lightroom back catalog access the folder of photos.

You can refer to disaster Lightroom (troubleshooting). Facing disasters (troubleshooting). Peachpit for more information.

Kind regards

  • Windows 7 Ultimate would update, reset everything and he lost my computer, how can I recover?

    I noticed that I had updates ready to install and need to restart my computer, so I clicked on the update computer and turn off.

    He did the updates, then stop. I turned it back on and it makes more updates.

    When he returned to the top, I logged on my user account in the same way I always have, the other accounts where there also, so it doesn't reset user accounts.

    In any case, I noticed my son on the bottom image was not there, so looked around and looks like it resets everything completely.

    My documents are all gone, my downloads, pictures, everything.

    Is it possible to restore it?

    Please let me know. I lost years of stored files.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidently modified or deleted a file, you can restore from a backup (if you are using the Windows backup utility) or you can try to restore a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. Previous versions are sometimes referred to as snapshots.

    I suggest to read the following article and check if it helps.

    ================================
    There are programs of software designed to recover the
    delete files... some detail and some are free.

    The following freeware is an example and you can
    find others with a Google search.

    For hard drive recovery, it would be preferable to
    Use the portable version and run it from external
    source such as a memory card or USB key to reduce
    the possibility of replacing the deleted files.

  • Damaged laptop hard drives can be recovered?

    Hello

    I hope you can answer my question, as I've had a little trouble with my TOSHIBA Satellite Pro

    The strap of my laptop broke so that on my shoulder, and the bag bag fell to the floor. In 1 of the card slots PC is a wireless LAN adapter. (Bad luck) wanted that it was on the side of the laptop that hit the ground, causing the map being pushed higher in the side of the laptop about an inch

    Since then, the laptop has not started up.

    2 questions:

    1. do you know what hardware is close the PC card slots, and if they are difficult to repair/replace

    2. If the laptop is completely been goosed, is it possible to use the hard drive from Toshiba Satellite Pro and ask a farm to copy all information/data from the old hard drive to the new hard drive?

    Thank you
    brand

    Hello Mark

    In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner allowed in your country and explain to them the situation. Toshiba laptops have no standard hardware architecture and you'll be lucky if anyone can give you correct answer (you didn't mention WHAT Satellite Pro you have). On this way, we can only speculate because nobody knows how much is the damaged laptop.

    I suppose that the HARD drive is no longer usable but you can try to connect to another laptop as external, then check if the HARD drive works or not.

    If you have important data on this topic you can contact some IT closes that are able to save the data. Everything is possible, but it will cost a little more.

  • 900 MB Raw files on laptop computer, you can copy a collection to another system?

    Hi, new here. so here goes;  I did a lot of work on nearly 400 photos (raw images) on my Macbook pro. I recently moved to Aperture (and realized how LR's years light to come). In some cases, I'll have the Photo for a particular project on my iMac too and instead of export of ground Jeg salvation, in a perfect world, I would have the 'collection' with all its too live settings on the imac and reference the original Raw files. Is there a way to do this? at the opening, you can export an album or project out and import it. I read a bit on this with several "catalogs", which is the best or the only way to achieve this? I am a passionate amateur of photography 35 k and really into it, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated .

    PS, I haven't used CC of LR to share between the systems of the photo, I'm still looking into that, maybe it's an option.

    The best


    Neil

    Simply copy the RAW files as well as the XMP files to the other system. If you do not have the option checked to store changes, metadata in an XMP make file you check this option in the preferences.

  • Computer crashed - trying to recover!

    Now, I have a new hard drive for PC and have re-installed the software for m500.  My m500 is not my current files.    However, I reinforced my folder "Palm" from my PC to an external HD.  Is there a way to bring all my contact data into the newly installed software on my main hard drive?

    Thank you very much!

    Butlerkid

    Look in the Palm folder to the folder of user name of Palm Desktop hard disk that has the Palm folder. Copy this folder. Paste the file into the Palm folder on the new hard drive. If you use the exact version of Palm Desktop, it should work.

    For reference purposes, click the following link to the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com Web page.

    Adobe Photoshop CS 3 is a very old software and the operating system that you are using is the most recent, so there may be compatibility issues that adobe has not tested these applications on newer operating systems.

  • Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?

    Original title: windows 8.

    Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!

    My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?

    I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?

    If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.

    Roger

    No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.

    The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Thank you!

    Your entire development is off? You may be able to disconnect and reconnect. You can check this thread for more suggestions:

    Lightroom 5.5 'develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the develop module.

    I was expecting an error message indicating that the development module is disabled, however. If this isn't what you're talking about, please show us a screenshot of the 'dark' buttons
