LR6: files messed up after moving to EHDD, renowned images

HI: I met a very strange thing using LR6.

I moved a folder containing some 7000 images in subfolders of an EHDD. Move was within LR6. It seemed to have worked very well, so does not give much time to check out all the images. Now a few weeks later I realized that in two of the subfolders images were duplicated and stored under the former name of another image. So say image1.nef has been duplicated as image2.nef, thus eliminating the original image2.nef. In the catalog Lightroom image2.nef was always described with the key words of the former image2.nef, development activities were also as with the old image.

Anyone who has an idea why such a thing can happen? I'm afraid that it could happen again. I had a backup that is fortunately back during these weeks, but it was just pure luck.

Work on iMac 27 "/ OS X 10.10.5 / LR6 / the EHDD is a Samsung 1 TB OSH"

As the article explains that it is preferable to copy the files/folders to the ehdd first, using Finder; then update the LR library and then the same remove the internal drive.

  • RAW files missing changes after moving to an external hard drive

    Hi, I use lightroom 4 and I cleaned a part of my images on my laptop and then exported in JPEG files. My hard drive has started to fill up, so I moved all my files on raw on an external hard drive but now when I come back to make adjustments to these images it tells me that the file is missing. How the raw return file so that it shows the changes I made?

    The changes should have been stored in the catalog file or in an XMP Sidecar file. Also moved the XMP Sidecar files. These XMP files can be marked as system files in OS X, and unless you have show system files (which, with OS X for that option and turn it you may need to use Terminal), and or display all files, Finder can hide on your part.

  • File not found after moving from vm again ESXi

    Tried to move a virtual machine to an ESXi 3.5 to another server.  The virtual machine is a Windows 2003R2 domain controller configured with 3 GB of Ram and a hard drive (36 GB in size).

    After downloading and downloading what I believed to be the (scdc01.vmdk 36 GB) virtual disk and the virtual computer file that server would not start filed a complaint against "file not found".

    Found that there is another virtual disk file (scdc01 - 0000001.vmdk about 2 GB insizing).  Other investication showed that the virtual machine is configured to use the scdc01 - 000001.vmdk and not the scdc01.vmdk.

    Because I didn't build the virtual machine, I'm at a loss as to what the "scdc01.vmdk 36 GB drive is for."  I know that its possible to configure a server for its hard drives will grow according to the needs.  How do you verify if this is the case.  Is there a way to check if a virtual disk file is used by a virtual machine?  If it's Setup to grow is there nothing wrong with the execution of a domain controller installation Windows in this way.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    000001 file is an instant vmdk.  It relies on an another vmdk.  It should be named something like scdc01 - flat hard and also several GB in size.

    Make sure you copy this file in place and it should work.

    The virtual machine is based on the snapshot based on a parent vmdk.   scdc01.VMDK is a file descriptor, which also relies on the vmdk base or instant capture.  When stereotypes are present, it is based on the snapshot.  Otherwise on the parent - flat hard

  • Files messed up after updating iOS photos

    I transferred photos in folders from my laptop to my iPad via iTunes.

    Now, whenever there is an update of the system, these files imported photos are completely stripped, e.g. duplicate records, containing pictures of a variety of different folders, etc. Of course I can neither move, nor delete, rename or anything else with these files, so I find myself going through a series of synchronization process through iTunes, taking usually the largest part of the day until that all is back to normal.

    (a) someone else this experience?

    (b) is there a simpler way to fix or even better to avoid this?

    Not without information - just stating that a problem is not enough

    first words - Photos or iPhoto folders contain no pictures - files contain other files or albums - albums contain photos if you need to describe celarly question

    and your post is clearly not where you see this - if the problem on your Mac or on your iPad

    What operating system and software do you use on your Mac (name and version) and on your iPad.

  • Why I no longer storage capacity after moving the files of external volumes?

    Disk utility reported that I had only 29.76 GB available; the 250 GB SSD was used as follows:

    Apps 48Go; Photos of 32 GB; Audio 24GO; 18 GB movies; Other 99.72 GB; Available 29.76 GB

    After moving to photos of 34.2 GB external volumes, films of 6,76 GB and files of documents 1 GB, disk utility has reported:

    Apps 48Go; Photos 9GB; Audio: 24 GB; Movies 11FR; Other 132,14; Available 29.76 GB

    After moving ~ 42 GB of data to external volumes, HD of 'other' content is passed to 132,14 GB 99,72 GB.

    Not after winning more space, I moved other files; Other rose the same amount and available showed I have now 39 GB

    I don't understand why 'other ' space used increases as much as I thought I had released.

    So, how can I increase the space available in this SSD?

    Thank you

    You can try to reboot to refresh

  • Missing files after moving files in Lightroom

    I moved files from one drive to another in Lightroom. During the move, Lightroom kept displays error messages 'missing photos', 'Photo can not be moved to destination ". After moving, some photos were gone. I got resynchronization folder but some pictures seem to have disappeared forever - they are not on the hard drive. I do not remember deleting them, but earlier that day, I exported the to jpg... I have a backup of the images, but when I tried to import with "do not import duplicates" checked, Lightroom has identified a few photos as duplicates - those that appeared after the re-synchronization of the folder. Not to mention that I lost a bit of work on the development, etc.

    That's what I did - I deleted the duplicates in the Lightroom Catalog to "all photos". Of course there are no duplicate files, I know

  • Disorganized iTunes Media after moving to NAS

    Hello

    I have moved my iTunes for Synology NAS library and am maintaining the logical structure of the different media files.

    On the NAS, I created volume 'Media' where I moved to the iTunes library and where I want all kinds of media to reside and to share with others (Synology, Plex) apps. This volume is now the default iTunes media folder.

    I have relinked the library in ITunes without problem and can see everything as before, but when for example I am adding new content to music to iTunes (with 'Keep media' and 'Copy media in the iTunes folder') organized checked it lands directly in the 'media' instead of ' Media /Music"." Why and how can I solve this problem?

    I want to keep the structure of file like this:

    Media (volume)

    -Music

    -Artist name

    -Album name

    -Movies

    -Name of film

    TV - series

    -Show Name

    -Books

    -Etc.

    Is this possible? Is to select a volume than the main iTunes folder of media app messes things why?

    It seems OK, I had to «Organize library...» "after moving and all the orphaned files have been moved to /Music they belong.

    I think I like iTunes a little more now

  • Directory to restore deleted after moving and change of name

    Hello

    I am very new to this please bare in mind. I deleted a directory to a network drive, after moving from directories and renamed. Durnig one of these actions, I deleted a.
    I contacted system administrator to retrieve images of backup but does not seem to work...
    Is it possible that it can not be restored? I've been to move this directory and change names several times in the last days before deleting...
    All the answers? Recover my data?
    Thank you

    Objects deleted on network drives are forever lost to the operating system, you will need to use data recovery software.  You must not use the network drive until you retrieve your files, or else you can overwrite the files while you are using the disk and make recovery impossible.

  • Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

    I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

    I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

    If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hi Jason,

    You will receive a file repaired of Marc. There was a corruption in one of the menus of the site (probably from a previous version of Muse). The new version has been correctly claiming corruption, so no further damage could be done. The repaired file should work just fine.

  • Problem after moving to new server vCenter

    I moved vCenter to a new server by following this article:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 5850444

    After editing the file vpxa.cfg with the new IP of the vCenter server and restart management services, all of my guests are still disconnected.  I tried to select "Connect" from the menu, which has been connected to the host.  However, HA not properly configures.  Has anyone seen these symptoms after moving to a new server vCenter? Ideas for how I can fix the problems?

    More details can be provided according to the needs

    Thank you

    Jeff

    Is / was enabled on this cluster HA?  Have your tried to disable HA on the cluster, and once that all your hosts have been added to the rear allowing HA again.

    In addition, even if you did, you can restart the agents once again all hosts in the cluster

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not a storage system. If you delete photos/videos on your iPad, they are removed to iCloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage.

  • Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

    Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

    I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

    Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
    I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
    I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
