Lightroom and key words lost

I use an external hard drive for my photos and import them into Lightroom running on my mac. I worked for a year on the wording of each photo to facilitate the search for key. Last month I started using a new mac computer and now when I go to Lightroom, my photos are gone and if I re - import from the external hard drive, the key text is gone. Left my key words, or is there a way to find them?

If you still have the old computer available, follow these instructions: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

If you don't have the old computer available, you saved the catalog file (or a backup) of this computer somewhere. If you have, you can double-click it to open it in Lightroom, your keywords will be there, you have to reconnect the photos in Lightroom via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

If you don't have the old computer catalog file (or a backup) of the old computer, I think that your keywords (and changes and other metadata provided by the user) are gone.

  • Loss of key words to export (LR2 and LR3)

    I have a problem I had since LR2 and have discovered that it continues in LR3.  I hope that the geniuses here can help...

    I have an export preset user who creates a size max JPG and includes it in the catalog.  _Almost_ works perfectly, but there is always a key word or two lost in the translation.

    A specific example, I have a DNG with the following key words:

    "citrus", "Board", "fresh fruits", melon, food, fresh, fruit, half, knife, melon, organic, snack, white wood,

    When I export to jpg, adding to the catalog, the list of keywords is:

    "citrus", "Board", "fresh fruits", melon, food, fresh, fruit, half, knife, organic snack, melon, white

    The last keyword is truncated and does not.  This is not 100%, but is the most common occurrence.  Sometimes another keyword will be also absent, but the last is the most common to lose.

    No problem get subject key words on the new file?

    "citrus", "Board", "fresh fruits", melon, food, fresh, fruit, half, knife, melon, organic, snack, white wood,

    Are there any hierarchical keywords among them?

    Try checking write keywords as Lightroom hierarchy in export.

    My sisters thinkpad XP pro is unstable and it has lost its drive.  I can reinstall using my xp pro disk and its product key?

    I fixed it!

    I couldn't work at all Internet Explore.  I finally installed Superantispyware from a USB pendrive and it ran in safe mode without network.  So I ran Malwarebytes and ccleaner.  After a reboot, everything works great again.  I could install Microsoft Security Essentials and get current updates.  After a smart defrag it turns really well now.

    I was able to make a recovery cd set too.  It will be just as good as if I he burned them on a new computer?  I mean can the data used to make these CDs get corrupted over time?  This laptop is 6 years old.

  • "When I click on the SHIFT key and 2 keys for Word marks, I get and when I click shift and ' key I get"

    When I click on the SHIFT key and 2 keys for Word marks, I get and when I click shift and ' key I get "... The keys have changed places?

    Original title: keyboard

    Go to the Panel control, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, tab bar of language and, if you regularly change language settings, make the hidden language bar. I think you have touched a keyboard shortcut that has hired it & changed the region / language settings and therefore caused this problem.

    Then go to control panel, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, advanced settings tab key where you can see the key sequence of shortened which probably you entered this problem by chance. You will also see the sequence of modifier keys that you want to change by clicking on the button sequence of modifier keys and by setting the input language switch & switch keyboard to not [when I changed them, I had to define not entitled for the switch input language and accept change, and then return to the dialog box to set no affect for the keyboard switch setting].

  • Want to come back to Windows 8 and product key is lost.

    I have upgraded to windows 10, knowing that I could restore at anytime because I got the CD and the product key for windows 8 (OEM version). Now that windows 10 will soon be available in full version, I would rollback, get my free upgrade, then reported complete. However, flooded House, the items have been moved and ive lost the product key. I still have the oem box and cd. Can I get the product key? Or do I have to buy it again. I always receive amazon for her as well. I know I can get the full version if I continue to test, but I don't want to do that.

    ↑ This is what it looks like. Miss me the blue box that has the code on it. Still have the white one.

    If I don't have to buy again, can give you links to the right places to buy CDs codes for cheap?

    Thank you

    Hello Nicolas,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your query details.

    It is regrettable that the product key is lost.

    However, it may be stated on a label on the box OEM or it may be mentioned in any e-mail confirmation that you have received from Amazon.

    If you are still not able to find the product key, you can contact your computer manufacturer.

    You can buy the product key Windows 8 Microsoft store.

  • Details of the catalog such as key words and the exif data can be exported to the database in Microsoft access or Excel?

    I have a large base of photo data and key data that has been created with the software Ulead Photoimpact Album abandoned. An advantage of the Album POI databases is the ability to export and import to MS Access or Excel data.  If the Lightroom Catalog has the ability to move data to and from the most common databases it will help me greatly.  I don't want to re enter thousands of entries.

  • Lost my key words

    I use LR 2.3 and have my files, the files in RAW and LR, formats on an external hard drive. So far it works very well with two PC with Win XP.

    A few weeks ago, I got a new laptop runing Vista and installed LR. I have it configured with the settings on the external hard drive. It worked fine until the other night, when I open LR. All my keywords has been reset. They began with white beeing and the numbers to the right of the captain. Then up and down the East went gray and says zero.

    The only handful of keywords that remained was these attached to peak imported on this laptop.

    I tried with the last backup catalog - no result.

    Can I restore my keywords, if so, how?

    Please forgive my English is not my mother tongue.

    Peter

    You wrote "two parts".  You does not mean two PC with access to the external drive, you did?

    The question is a bit like the question "do you know where your children are.  Do you know where are your pictures?  You connected the new CD-ROM drive to your new computer with the same drive letter?  And you know that your new images are stored in the same place as your old images?

    The "last backup" is maybe not old enough.  How often do you back up?  When you say key words and figures were breed white and the numbers then went to zero.  Is it in one sitting so that you watched?  What did you do before he did it?

    If you have old backups it should be possible to recover them, but to maintain the information for files that you have added since can be tricky.  Especially trying to explain what to do on this forum.  Also, I of course would like to understand what happened before I try to move forward.

  • lost my catalogs in my lightroom and backing up

    I was using lightroom and had access to all my catalogs. then he got stuck when I try to synchronize and add new photos to the existing catalog.  now, all the catelogs disappeared and he only asks me to import or export thousands and thousands of images of my original photo files that I had already imported from.  I decided to plug in my back to see if it was different and the backup cannot find the catelogs either.  Furthermore, all my photos and lr are on a separate external hard drive.  tried to look for the disk on the computer and hard and can't find it.

    now, all the catelogs disappeared

    What does that mean? How do you know they're gone?

    Please do a search using the search function of your operating system, for all files whose name ends in. LRCAT and then open each found by double-clicking on it to see if it's the catalogue with photos.

Som nagon veterinarian.
    Tacksam for help


    Is there someone who could help me regarding the list of keywords in Lightroom 6. I have a right-click on one set of photos (Nature) I have been in the list of key words in all and other and for some reason

    I clicked on Convert Keywords to Person Keyword. The catalog Nature with all the pictures in that set (some thousands) are now available in All, Others and People, but I don’t want it in People. I have tried to delete it in People but then it disappears completely. Does anyone know how I can remove the set under People without losing it. 

    Great, because unfortunately there is no way to reverse this conversion to keywords people - other than editing each one individually, or by using undo (if you haven't left Lightroom since their conversion). So I recommend restore you the backup catalog.

  • Keywords from Lightroom and IPTC fields

    Hello!

    Does anyone know if Lightroom actually wrote the keywords in the IPTC image file field? I'm new to LR, and me are familiar to the bridge, where the keywords are actually added to the same file, but as there is so much faster keywording in LR than Bridge, I fear that the tags are not written in the files, but only in the LR database, so I need to export the image keyworded to obtain aid of keywords in the field image IPTC field. Am I wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Key words originally in the basis of LR but when you export an image you can include metadata,

    You also have the option to save metadata to the files from the Menu metadata > save metadata to file...

    For the PSD, JPG, TIFF, DNG this will write the key words in the file. For raw files, it will produce a file.
