Lightroom develop settings disappeared after a computer virus removal

Hi all

I have a problem with my development settings to find Lr I had problem with virus a couple days where all my files have been encrypted. A so-called virus ransomeware RSA 4096 caused it. They have (support antivirus Norton) has removed the virus for me but they told me that it was nothing I could do with my files photo on my hard drive of the computer. The result was that I had to delete all the files that I had stored. Luckely, I made a back-up, 2 days before (on my external hard drive), my computer has been infected. The problem is, when I try to use my backup catalog I can't access my development settings in images. Everything is zero. RAW file is in place and I can start to change the image of course again, but it's a lot of work. The other strange thing is that all of my files exported JPG also appears in the catalog and I don't really know why... Maybe I'm an amateur, but I would like help, because it frustrates me :-(

Best wishes

Ken

Could you try to open the other catalogs (recent) backup of your external drive.

It is possible that the virus has infected the backup too.

Find your external drive for catalogs. Search for "*.lrcat " and see if it returns multiple catalogs.

You can also see recover the catalog and images after resetting preferences in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

I use the latest Version of Lr, 5.6

Latest version of Lightroom 5 is 5.7.1.  See the maintenance of Lightroom

  • Everything on my desktop disappeared after I tried to remove a virus from my computer. Details and screenshots inside...

    This morning, I got a virus on my laptop Dell XPS. It was one of those fake, 'buy this virus remover because everything that your computer is broken now,' types. To be honest I can't remember not even what it's called. I guess that makes this much more difficult problem. I googled and basically told to run malware bytes. I did, and it removed the virus as far as I know. Before if I tried to run firefox or any browser, after a few minutes she could get out and close. Now, everything works fine and as it did before.

    The problem I am facing now is that my office is completely free, and I can not find where everything is more on my computer. I can always open some programs going while the start menu and the search for them, but all my homework records, films, etc., I can't find more. I know that they have not been removed because my hard drive still has the same amount of available space, but I don't know how I'd go get them.

    Alongside this, every so often, a window pops up that says "Catalyst Control Center: the host application has stopped working." Does this mean that a does not completely remove the virus?

    I'm obviously not the best with computers, but I can usually google my way out of any problem. It's a bit more difficult that it is usually good.

    I am running Vista if that makes a difference. Thank you!

  • Develop settings lost after re - import the DNG files folder

    I use LR for several months and - after having used to his peculiararities - love the program.

    Tonight, I have re-imported one file to DNG files that I had previously withdrawn from the LR - using the import option 'Add '. When the develop module, I noticed that my original develop settings have been applied is no longer.

    These settings are not incorporated into the DNG files? How could they get lost? They wrote, too, when re - import files?

    I always back up my catalog before closing. The backup of the catalog contain the original developing parameters for these DNG files?

    I know I must have done something wrong! Please inform and explain. Thank you.

    The development parameters are only in the catalog, unless you have autowrite to xmp enabled in the settings of catalog or if you have selected the image files and saved the data to develop with Cmd/Ctrl-S to the selected files.

    When you delete the files from the catalog data to develop will too after a short period (allows cancellations) so if you have a catalog of backup with files until they have been removed you could open that save develop settings and then open your catalog of work and read the metadata,.

    I keep all my files in Lightroom, as it is my rather than the operating system file manager. Then I know (I hope) where everything is and what happens to my images.

    Your type of error has been made by many, including myself and is part of the learning curve for digital imaging!

  • Skype disappears after the computer restarts

    Hi all

    Since 3 days ago Skype disappears from my computer when I turned off my computer or when I turn it back on again. In any case, after every reboot I reinstall Skype, which works as normal until I shut the computer off again.

    I use Windows 8.

    I'm looking for a solution for this, but I couldn't find it.

    Thanks for the help. I uninstalled Skype before reinstalling and now it works fine. The only thing was, that the Skype icon disappeared again from the taskbar, but after I joined it there yet from the office he remained in place.

    See you soon!

  • Saving the lightroom develop settings

    I have a question about registration of the development parameters in L ightroom CC 2015 once you remove a photo from the catalogue. My workflow is done in camera raw. Although I the have not used in the past I always thought that a . Xfile MP would save all adjustments of development keywords, flags etc. Now that I've tried it, I see that's not true.  I havet seems to save develop settings, but if you delete the photo, then re-import - it opens with the correct settings, but you cannot modify any of the final adjustments.  It also does not extract together with flags or color adjustments.

    Is there a way to do ? Normally, I like to keep my small catalog by removing pictures I do not wish to use it on a regular basis, but I can want to bring their return make some additional adjustments and then save them again once I was hoping that this economy and XMP file would allow me to do, but it doesn't appear to save the metadata not the setting of development parameters. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I think you'll find (or you've already found) that Lightroom was not designed to be used in this way. Since you say that "any help would be appreciated", my Council, similar to the above, is to use Lightroom as it was expected, and you won't have these problems. The Act of deleting the photos is what you lose information and simply creates extra work for you. Don't not deleting photos is less work and ensures that you do not lose this information. The idea of keeping the small catalogues manages also against the idea behind the design of Lightroom... you want Lightroom to be the tool by which you can find all of your photos and you browse all your photos. There is no advantage to smaller catalogues and no disadvantage for large catalogs, when used correctly.

  • FSX joystick settings disappear after closing program

    I'm under Flight Simulator X on Windows 7, 64 bit.  I have a Saitek yoke and pedals for rudder CH.  I'll have to set up and calibrate the yoke and pedals whenever I start Flight Simulator x, because the settings seem to be reset after I close the program.  I've never had this problem until I went from Vista to Windows 7.

    The yoke for twenty years of odd functions, it becomes very irritating to say the least.  I have tried to make profiles and save them, but no use.  Has anyone else had this problem and with success the fixed?

    Thank you!

    1. what version of Flight Simulator X are you using?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    I suggest that you download the drivers for Saitek yoke and pedals CH rudder on the manufacturer's Web site and then install the drivers in compatibility mode, check if it helps.

    I am running XP on an old computer (obviously), and Windows Explorer has apparently decided he knows me most, that is, my personal profile to connect has been corrupted.

  • Programs and software disappeared after my computer has been reformatted

    I recently had a PC virus on my desktop. I have and I was told that they had to reformat my PC. I have no idea of the land of what that meant except my original software and programs have DISAPPEARED. I do a lot of the event flyers and programs for Church functions and the program that was installed sucks. I can't for the life of understand me. I do my flyer for the Easter Services. The budget is tight!   So right now I can't afford to purchase the software and download on my PC. Are there programs that are free to use for my purpose without installing something on my PC; and it is FREE to use?  In any case help I would be very happy. Thank you.

    You need to reinstall your programs from the original media you receieved when you bought them. Reinstall your data from backups that you perform regularly.

    If you do not have the programs, you will have to buy them or Google for alternatives. Nobody here knows what to tell you, since we have no idea what you're talking about.

    If you do backups of data, you're out of luck.

  • Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

    Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

    Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

    1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
    2. Remove the DVD writer.
    3. Restarting the laptop.
    4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
    5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
    6. Closing.
    7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

    On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

    What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

    I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

    "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

    I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

    I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

    Nikki,

    You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

    To do:
    -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
    -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
    -Click on device high Managerin left
    -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
    -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

    BTW that dog rox in this avitar

    See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

    Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

    Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

    What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

    IDE channel (x 4)

    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

    Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

    The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

    in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the information I have:

    HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

    Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

    Vista Home Premium

    Service Pack 2

    Thanks again for any help.

    Hello
     
    1. do you have the software installed on the computer of CD/DVD burning?
     
    Check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
    Step 1: We also recommend to uninstall the CD/DVD burning software, if you have everything installed, restart the computer and check the result.
    Scan for the device in Device Manager. To do this, try the following steps.
    1. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.
    2. click on one of the items in the list, click the Action menu and click Scan for hardware changes.
    3. check if the CD/DVD is displayed.

    For more assistance on this, contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

  • Develop settings does not: how to apply settings in Tethered capture using Lightroom development CC (version 2015.2.1)

    Hi all

    I'm putting in place an environment of home using Lightroom CC (version 2015.2.1).

    I use a Canon EOS 7 d Mark II and an Asus K46CB laptop (Windows 10). The camera is recognized by Windows 10 and Lightroom. I can control the camera using EOS Utility and Lightroom as well. Everything looks like it's working normally but no matter what preset I select under settings to develop or if I select "even than previous" after a first home and manually, the software does not apply develop settings I want / need.

    The strange thing is that sometimes it works out of the blue, and stops working after 2 or 3 shot.

    It worked well in previous versions of Lightroom.

    Y at - it something I am doing wrong? Did I miss something or some configurations? Can you help me please?

    Thank you very much!

    Question: I'm new to LR and did install you on a Mac desktop computer and laptop.  On the laptop, the basic function under develop simply disappeared.  I'm lost.  Help.

    This is a common problem. The basic Panel is simply hidden.

    Billboards / of masking is actually a function of Lightroom, but it is intuitive--not many people know that there are - for the most newcomers are thrown when a Panel is somehow hidden.

    Right-click anywhere in the area of the Panel on the right hand side and a context menu will appear.

  • I have a Setup dual monitor.  When I paste develop settings from one image to the other, Lightroom going on the active window.

    Strange problem.  5.5 Lightroom.  Windows 8.1. Setting up dual monitor.

    I am processing a lot important photos.  I have #1 monitor set as my main to develop the window with #2 monitor configured only to display a larger version of the image, I work with. If I copy the parameters of development out of a picture and try to paste them on another image, Lightroom will increase from the #1 to the monitor #2 monitor in the main window to develop and does not display anything on the monitor #1.

    If I then try to paste develop settings on another image on the monitor #2, LR then displays a larger version of the image, I have been working with the #1 monitor.

    To work like I want to, I have to constantly drag my develop the window back to the #1 monitor whenever I try to paste the settings on a new image of development. How can I make this stop?

    I have similar (but different) problems dual monitor. Just posted this on my thread unanswered. It may be useful:
