lost in lightroom cc files

Somehow, I lost the connection to folders of photos and pictures on my external hard drive. The drive is listed under folders in library view. I am able to see a subfolder: (A)) but the sub folders and photos are listed in gray and records have (?). When I try to find the file, I find the location on the external hard drive and when I try to connect, the file disappears from the list in my lightroom library. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to find the folder, I find the location on the external hard drive and when I try to connect, the file disappears from the list in my lightroom library.

It does not disappear, it moves elsewhere in your hierarchy of files on the external hard drive. Why? Because you just tell Lightroom to use a folder on the external drive as the source for these photos. Find the folder in the folders in Lightroom under the external drive Panel. He'll be there, exactly where you told Lightroom to tell.

    No, without your consent the computer will not delete arbitrarily files other than system files, that you do not normally have access.

  • Lost access to the files on the hard drive.

    After you use the SYSTEM RESTORE, my office has lost access to all my files of data written and the pictures on the hard drive.

    I tried a backup disk or restart several months ago, but the drive will not read it!

    How can I restore access to "My Documents" and other folders?

    Hi Alan,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have lost access to the files of data and images after doing a system restore.

    I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

    1. Why did you perform a system restore?

    2 do you have questions about the computer?

    3. If so, please specify the question to better help you?

    4. What are the data and images file format?

     

    System Restore will return all your files non-system as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system.

    Based on the current situation, I suggest you to Undo a restoration of the system after performing a system restore.

    Check out the link and check if that helps.

    If the problem persists, or you have any questions about the restoration of the system, do not hesitate to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • Lightroom corrupt files after making an overview

    This has happened once or twice in the past and there, but the other day, it seems as if all the image 'previews' Lightroom Raw files begins to corrupt. (I have attached a screenshot of the number). My Lightroom is up-to-date and I reset all my settings, and I'm still not sure what the question is who is the origin of the problem.

    lightroom.jpg

    Basically when I open Lightroom library shows all the images correctly, then one by one any image that is on the screen gets all wacky (as shown). If I scroll to view more images, the problem repeats. Don't know what to do at this point because I don't want to corrupt the other files. Anyone know if it is a hard drive problem or a software problem?

    I am able to access the files Raw in Photoshop and able to display a preview of the image in the Finder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ok. So all the RAW files on that hard drive corrupted possibly maybe?

    Maybe, maybe not. It depends on where the corruption comes and when it started.

    I'm more concerned about the recent shoot with 500 + photos that have already been transferred the disk hard and since been removed from the SD card.

    Try to restore the photos of backups. Develop a different strategy where the photos are on the cards until you are sure that they are not corrupt AND backed up on a different hard disk (you know that they are not corrupted if Lightroom displays previews without corruption).

  • Hi, I deleted my acrobat application on my mobile by mistake and therefore lost all of my files... Is there a way to retrieve pdf files... I didn't save any to my laptop?

    Hi, I deleted my acrobat application on my mobile by mistake and therefore lost all of my files... Is there a way to retrieve pdf files... I didn't save any to my laptop? Re

    Hijosephinek95123236,

    PDF files are not saved in the application. They must be in the local memory of the mobile device or if they are stored on the cloud of document, then they will be available under the cloud of document tab.

    Please reinstall the Acrobat Reader application on your mobile device to access the document.

    To transfer the PDF files from mobile device on laptop: -.

    If the files are saved on the cloud of document, then you can access the file on your laptop using this link https://cloud.acrobat.com/folder/7efb457b-c1b5-4d6b-89d1-96b1ede2a167 , the files can be downloaded from here.

    Otherwise, if the files are on the local memory of the mobile device, then you can send the file or transfer them using a data cable.

    Kind regards

    He has no such limit, and in fact some users in this domain and other forums report catalogues over 1/2 million pictures works well.

    The idea to create multiple catalogs because you don't want to get too big catalog file size is a bad idea that you should never think of it again.

    Preference and other locations of files in Lightroom 5

    What is covered

    Upward

    Important information for all platforms

    • The files and the locations of files given here are default values. Some of these places can be customized in the Lightroom \Preferences or the catalog settings dialog boxes.
    • While troubleshooting, where possible, rename the files instead of remove them.
    • If possible, back up catalogs on another hard drive or a volume of the disk where your catalog is located. For more information about the backup in Lightroom, read back up a catalog with Lightroom and look at the backup catalog on Adobe TV. (The video has been produced for Lightroom 4 but still applies to Lightroom 5.)

    Locations of files on Mac OS X

    Note:

    The user library file is hidden by default on Mac OS X 10.7 and later versions. For temporary access to the file library user, press Option and select go > library in the Finder.

  • Panos and HDR files lost in Lightroom

    Hi all

    I just finished editing photos for a client and that the folder contained a handful of - Pano and HDR - files that have been created in Lightroom.  I exported and shipped to the customer (* phew! *).  I then moved from one folder to another on my computer in the same hard disk, that they were imported (an internal hard drive, but not my HD operation).  Now all the panos and HDR files are GONE.  Previews are still in LR, but they have the '! ' at the top right of the thumbnail.  When I click it, it says "file not found.  You want to locate? "Who I looked everywhere and they aren't there.

    All the normal RAW files are there and all my edits seem to have been applied, it's just that the Panos and HDR files have disappeared!  Help!  Thank you!

    Well, it seems that you have encountered this bug: uploading photos on an external hard drive, lost photos

    This seems to be the first time that someone has experienced this bug where the move was between folders on the same disk.

    Like I said, just to stop mobile photos nearby, use of metadata to indicate the status of the photo.
