LR stored on external hard disk files have disappeared or became not related?

Help: I opened LR to work on some files. The hard drive where the files are stored is attached. LR has always considered all the files it's supposed to. NOW, for some reason, it only sees the files LR upwards until 2014. It does not show me the files, properly installed and already worked on several times. If I go on my external hard drive, I can see all the files after both before 2014. The files are always there hard disk, but it is no longer bound to LR. How and why this happened and how to I fix? Thank you.

Hi seandt,

Have you checked in Control Panel from all photographs in the library module and subfolders?
Are these images not appearing at all in the Lightroom library or they appear with the exclamation points?

Work in the same catalog that you were earlier?

Go to the file menu > open recent item > check if you are in the correct catalog.

Kind regards

Claes

  • My external HARD disk enclosure has disappeared from Windows Explorer

    I installed a new 1 TB Seagate HD in my computer comes with a new of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit SP1 copy.  I put the old 500 GB Seagate drive in an enclosure so I can use it to backup my files on the computer.  I named the pregnant disk K and finally got it work.  I did a back up on top of the first and last the drive disappeared from Windows Explorer.

    I opened the disk management and got this:

    Disc 1 is the external enclosure.  I can say this because it's the only thing connected to the computer of this size.  I clicked on OK to initialize it and got this:

    The case has its own power supply and is attached via a USB 3.0 cable, although all of my USB 2.0 ports.   I changed the drive to another port and received a message that I had to format it.  So I clicked OK for this, and that's what I then:

    Now I am more than willing to admit that I'm the worst person in computer science, you will find.  I don't know in Hades, how whether a player who worked Monday suddenly became a reader read only or how to change it if it has.  Is there someone who can help me with this?  In easy plain English?

    I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks for the update. Since the final stages of troubleshooting we provided that you did not work, we suggest you contact the manufacturer of your HARD drive. The error message you get already indicates a failure of the hard drive.

  • Files missing after moving iMovie events from local disk to external HARD disk. Are they lost?

    Hi all

    Tonight, I tried to clear up little space on my local HARD drive and wanted to spend my events/projects of the iMovie local library to an external HARD disk, which I connected via firewire 800.

    I opened iMovie (v10.1 - current version with all updates installed). I clicked on an event to highlight and then the FILE--> COPY OF LIBRARY of selected EVENTS.

    There, I sailed on the external drive and created an iMovie new library called ReWatch2015. I copied successfully eight different events, including files from my external hard drive.

    The ultimate goal is to get rid of them on the HARD drive internal, I highlighted the 20 remaining events I wanted to move and then used the FILE--> MOVE of EVENTS at the LIBRARY and specified ReGen_2015.

    It seemed at first glance to move. In fact, he seemed to move too darn fast in my opinion. When I looked at home in the library of the external drive, they were nothing more than a string of question marks, with a message telling me that particular item is not found and re-import the original clips. It's impossible because I have not kept the original source material on my internal drive. I had asked before if they are preserved in the library of iMovie and told me Yes, so I that's why I deleted the original source material.

    Don't see no activity on the disks, I did the cmd - Z to go back. Events have now shown upward into the iMovie library internal. HOWEVER, they still have the question mark, with msg on reimport. What is scary, is that if I go to ALL projects of them have visible thumbnails. Yet, when I click on any of these thumbnails to load the project into the editor, I am back to the page of question mark again.

    Are the file on drive HARD internal, and they just disassociated projects, or two-thirds of my library of events of 2015 are now toast? I was not under any type of backup Time Machine to be able to recover them, and frankly, if they left, it is not the end of the world since I was of the .mp4 displayed on Vimeo. But, I would just assume the iMovie library intact if possible.

    Suggestions on how to recover are greatly appreciated!

    Hi Robert

    Am having exactly the same problem on a new iMac 2016 running El Capitan: when I want to MOVE events such as you describe it, they sometimes get lost in the original library, both in the target library. Like you, I noticed that a such attempt to move just a very short time even if several GB of data play a role. Sometimes however, iMovie is able to move successfully. I my case, I had to re - import events so lost since an additional backup, I got on another external drive that I couldn't find the clips 'lost' on the HARD drive more. Very scary!

    I think it's an iMovie/El Capitan question which could be corrected with future updates. The only solution I've found is to the events of the FIRST COPY, and then check if the target is really OK and only then select the MOVE option, which will remove the original library to free up space. In addition, I plan to copy on a regular basis my library full iMovie on an extra disk to backup using the finder.

    Did you find anything in the meantime?

    Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

    By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

    Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

    But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

    Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

    Hope this makes things clearer.

  • Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

    I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

    Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

    If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

    DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example

  • Transfer iTunes and external HARD disk media library

    To build capacity on my 13-inch MacBook Pro (SSD) I want to transfer my music and files from the iTunes library on an external HARD drive. By following the online instructions I copied the iTunes folder of high level of my MBP on the external HARD drive and have chosen the new library (.itl) on the first reopening of iTunes. Everything seems fine but to verify music file information, it seems that the music files are always read in the MBP files. How do I order the new library to the remote disk copy of music files so that I can remove them safely from MBP. Thank you

  • Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

    Hello

    I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

    (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

    (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

    Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

    I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

  • Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
    I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

    When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
    I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
    Is this true?

    Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

    Your help is very appreciated.

  • How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

    My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

    "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

    The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
    Do you know how to do this?

    After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
    Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

    Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
    In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

    You don't give much info.
    I would first go in "Device Manager" and check that there is not a question mark with "unknown device" beside him. If this is the case, highlight it and delete it, unplug your HARD drive and restart your computer. Check the Device Manager again, you will need to repeat the process without the connected HARD drive. Then follow the instructions of the manufacturer install the driver. In some cases, you will need to plug it in the first place, in others, first install the driver. The order is important.

    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
