Missing files in Lightroom 3.4.1 help!

• missing files from lightroom CR2, but they are still on the hard drive

  I tried uninstall/reinstall version 5.5 and 5.7

  It is only happing with some files

  I tried new catalog

  When I reimport them it obscures the file as a duplicate until I say to allow duplicates.

  Lightroom displays files in the files of the Archive, I think that is the question.

  I think I got it, it was not well documented feature.

  When you import, you are given the option to create another copy of the raw as a backup file.

  I recently did the update online to 5.7 and it did an uninstall of 5.5 then installed 5.7 instead of simply adds the updated files.

  During this time he must have updated the catalogue with the backup/archive folder. Once it did I saw is no longer my CR2 file where they should have been.

  To resolve this case fully, I have to move the Archives to a location outside of the images folder and re-import the missing files.

  Sync did not work for me... I suggest all to ensure your backup/archiving is not in the pictures folder.

• It must be simple, right? Missing files in Lightroom 3...

  I use a LaCie external drive to keep all my photos on. I keep hanging on my PC 24/7 via the usb port. Now... when I plug another drive (USB key, kendal, etc.) through one of my other usb ports my files in Lightroom are moved to that drive and have a (?) by them. Why they keep moving when I plug my LaCie hard drive to other readers ' em in. I re - import the files and any change that has been made has been lost. Sorry if this is posted in the right place, I'm new here and it's making me nervous. It's I have to ' be a simple solution that I am more looking. What the devil I'm doing wrong? See the image included.

  

  Jason,

  Unless you pin your LaCie for a specific drive letter, as I explained above, the drive letter changes each time you connect another device to drive.

  When you have imported your photos, the LaCie was the J: drive.

  Then you re-imported with the LaCie drive i: when pictures came missing. Of course these newly imported images have none of the changes made to those originally imported.

  Here's how to fix it:

  -Remove all the images that have been newly imported from Lightroom, but not from disk.

  -Go to disk management and assign your LaCie drive W: letter. Assign the player a name. Who will do the sticky drive letter. If you do not like W, choose I or J or what you want.

  -Now in lightroom, for each of the top-level folders in the folders Panel with an exclamation mark, right-click, choose find missing folder... and navigate to this folder on the LaCie:. It reconnects the images to Lightroom, and they have all their changes.

• Missing files that have been renamed? Help!

  Dear friends, for some reason, only a few pictures have been renamed and now LRCC cannot bind more. I made a Time Machine (I'm a Mac user) restore and found that they were displaced and renowned don't know why. It's cool, I thought... restored from backup, but there are only 140 X 140 miniature files maybe LR?

  The original files are somewhere in my records, but how do I find them if they are renamed? Is it possible using third party software to search for identical files by image comparison? I mean, this is comparing the image itself?

  Thanking in advance.

  Sergio

  In Lightroom, select a missing image. Control (or right) click on and select go to folder. Highlight the folder in the sidebar on your screen and select "show in finder". Now with the open folder, enter time machine and restore the image files. If the folder itself got deleted or renamed in the folder on the left panel, select the parent folder and do the same thing. If no parent folder is not displayed, right (or control), click on the folder and make Lightroom show the folder parent in the sidebar.

• Missing files in Lightroom. Accidentally deleted.

  I need to access some of the photos that I just changed in Lightroom. I don't know what happened. I needed more space on my computer, so I deleted the files that were not in Lightroom. (They were also still in my IPhoto) Now, I have the (!) because I can still see the image, why can I not use it?  I read that if it is not yet on my computer, Lightroom can't access.  I get that, but why can't I access it in IPhoto, it shows up also there, but when I try to get out of IPhoto it says also it is absent.  It's so frustrating!

  Try to export from iPhoto.

  File > Export

  Export under the file tab, click the drop-down list type, and then choose Original.

  Save copy and put it back in the folder pointing to Lightroom.

• Missing files in Lightroom 5, files appear in 'Missing photos.

  I have total 27 000 photos, and 5500 of them are listed under "Missing photographs." If their records are listed in everything, there is none? to indicate that LR is not records.

  I know how to reconnect missing photos by clicking on the! and asking LR also find nearby photos.  But it does not work with the exception of the single selected photo, no other photos are located even if they are in the same folder on the hard disk.  I can do this for each of the 5500 photos separately, but it will take about 24 hours.  I'm looking for another way.  To be clear, the corresponding files are not listed in LR or are listed without one? and contain only a fraction of the photos in the folder source hard disk.

  I suspect that the reason why 'Find nearby photos' does not work is the catalog think they are in a different folder of the photo of the target.  For example, the figure shows a sequence of three adjacent "Missing pictures" in LR.  DSC08178 photo is actually in the "Viking cruise" folder on the hard disk while it is indicated as being in the 'cruise Baltic.  The pictures on each side of it are correctly displayed as being in the "Viking cruise" folder because I already spotted by clicking on the!, then their location on the hard disk WITH 'FIND the PHOTOS' NEARBY SELECTED.  Funny, these "found photos" still appear as "missing images" even if they now appear in the LR library under the folder "Viking cruise".

  In past discussions in the research, I find a common suggestion when the catalog was confusing to delete the preferences file.  I have not tried because I doubt that it will work.  I keep my photos and catalog on an external HD which I move from desktop to laptop computer, depends on the question of whether I'm at home or on a trip.  Of course, these two machines (both are Macs) is located in the preferences file, but the same problem occurs on each machine. It is difficult to imagine that the two would be has been corrupted at the same time and in the same way.  I think that it is a corruption of the catalog file itself.

  If this is true, I have a possible solution.  If someone has a better idea or think that my fixed does not work, please tell me.  But it's my idea:

  Applications to problems are several years so that the problem is as far as I KNOW recent old.  I have files of backup catalog dating back to a few months.  They have all these old photos changes.  So if I can find one of these catalog uncorrupted files, I will be removed all files EXCEPT the problem files.  Then I ONLY deletes records of problem of the current catalog.  Finally, I combine two catalogs.

  Will this work?  Are there unforeseen problems (by me)?  Is there an another, perhaps better, difficulty?

  Can't you just click right on line 'Missing Photos' under 'Catalogue', and select Remove from this temporary Collection?

  Another simple solution is to simply ignore it.

• How to remove missing files that have been deleted.

  I have a number of missing files in Lightroom. They no longer exist on the disk! The only way I found to get to these files is via a smart collection. What tests for metadata are not not to date. Because the files aren't there metadata cannot be undated. As I can't delete the smart collection Lightroom database files. I was not able to find a way to access the folder Lightroom files except through the above mentioned smart collection.

  So, how to remove the record from Lightroom.

  PS rather surprised that there is not a way to put in place a collection of smart to display all files that are missing!

  Select the photos in the smart collection with the icon question mark missing. Use Cmd-click or shift-click the first and last if they are all in a straight block. Then, click the top left on the catalog tab and select all photographs. Band information (over the film), confirm that you are in all the photos and the number of photos you have selected, and then use the menu:

  Photo > delete Photos from the catalogue

• How to import files in lightroom - "files cannot be read" help!

  Hello...

  tried a few forums.  Am more recent ligthroom and os operating 10.10.5.  Since I installed lightroom creative cloud I have not been able to import files.  I can get an overview of the files.  Files successfully imported on the old version of lightroom but can not yet open on new lightroom.

  So far have tried:

  Uninstall and re-inistalling

  setting preferences so they are ready to read and write - library, creative cloud, lightroom

  Import via other means (but my technical skills could be missing here).

  Would appreciate any help

  Thank you

  Thanks assani

  Appreciate the suggestion, but it didn't work.  However, it led me to a work around.  In case everyone takes up this thread: I selected the files, I tried to import directly from the SD card and then choose 'Open with' and lightroom.  It then allowed me to import.  Not the exact solution I was hoping, but at least it's a work around.

• Moved catalog Lightroom - not found photos (I've updated the file location / found missing files, but still no photos)

  Hello

  I would be very grateful for any help in this matter.

  I kept my Lightroom (using Lightroom 5.7) catalog on my laptop (because there is an SSD) and all the files on a disc raw external usb. It has worked well.

  I recently bought a new computer for editing photos. I simply connected the external USD to the new computer and copied the catalog file to the laptop on the internal SSD new flash computer drive. Next I went to open the catalog file in Lightroom, and as expected, I got "?" in the folders Panel. I updated the location of the root folder and then clicked on opportunity find missing files on all subfolders (marked with '? '). What I didn't know is that the '? ' is now gone, but the record shows not what, it is empty in Lightroom (no photos in the selected folder). It's defintely not set to true, all the pictures are in their 'old' place (not to mention the fact that the external hard drive has been moved to another computer - I can even open Explorer of in Lightroom and that entire folder is selected. )

  
  

  Can someone help me please?

  
  

  Thank you very much

  When you use find missing files, photos are now stored in a different place in the hierarchy of folder in the folders Panel. Why? Because you say Lightroom as well.

  If the folders on the drive has and under parent folder XYZ, and you said Lightoom records are now on the B Drive under parent folder XYZ, then you should look in Lightroom under the B player, not the reader has.

• Is anyway that I can transfer music from my iphone to itunes to help locate the missing files of the song

  So today, I opened itunes and about half of my music files were missing. A message came when I tried to click on a song and says that it is impossible to locate the files and the missing files now have an exclamation mark next to them. My iphone 6 has all the music files still on it and I am able to read them. I had happen in the past with one or two songs that have disappeared and I tried to connect my iphone to try and resynchronizing the file of the song, but just itunes erases songs out of my iphone, so I re-download just them, although it is a big problem. But because there are about 400 songs missing I need help to solve this problem. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

  If you used the recovery disks do on your PC you shouldn't have the key at the bottom of the laptop code. All I can suggest is to order a new set of recovery disks.

• upgrade lightroom - missing files

  Grateful to anyone who can provide a solution:

  Drive hard internal on my macbook pro crapped out yesterday and was replaced.

  LR and all my images live on an external hard drive "BP", and nothing has been done on this external hard drive.

  When I tried to open LR on my macbook, a message window emerged saying that I needed to upgrade of LR, I did.

  Before the update for today, I have always worked in Lightroom 5 catalog 3.lrcat.

  After update LR, in order to open it, it now opens the catalog 5 Lightroom 3 - 2.lrcat.

  Now when I open LR, many of my files are missing from the list of folders in my external hard drive, "BP".

  Missing files appear on the external hard drive, directly

  I recently signed up for creative cloud, don't know how using access compared to my original 5 Lightroom, I worked in.

  I really hope there is a fix for this problem and praying that I didn't not losing all the work I did for images.

  Thank you

  Steve

  Good then the Lightroom 3 5 catalog file is there.

  I suggest to find the disk and make a copy (copy of the preview as well).

  Then rename copies bearing the same names such as 'Steve Lightroom Catalog.lrcat' and "Steve Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata"

  The double click on the catalog file to open it. A copy will be again adopted and updated.

  Check what is there... If all is well it's ok.

  If everything is not in this catalogue... it may work eventually from a backup...

  I'm not an apple person.  I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple.  You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.
