Missing photos in Vista

My friend is under microsoft vista. All of his photos in my pictures folder disappeared. the thumbnails are still... There is no sign of the photos being deleted. or hidden. even files are missing... I ran restore software of scans, and rtehre there's no sign of them being deleted. I can't locate the data anywhere. they simply disappeared. It seems to be a common problem, but I can't find an answer. all other threads, I found answer either. Is there a bug in vista that nobody is talking about? or is there some common malware do that?...

And no. There is no restore point to return too much back and forth, or backup. (my friend will understand that now, but I do not understand how the pictures were all gone).

I want to talk about several gigabytes of photos and many files.
His frustration to see thumbnails and search results see the locations of files that do not exist.

  • I get this message. It leads me to a page which certainly does not all missing photos.

    I get this message too. It leads me to a page which certainly does not all missing photos. There is no missing pictures throughout the project. What is happening in a number of strange bugs:

    • On a particular page, I drag a photo to share with others and he disappears and a third unrelated to photography appears in its place, which arrived with about four pictures, but not with others. Finally, I removed the odd pages and inserted brand new to work around him.
    • The pictures that I wanted to add that had disappeared and been replaced by others at random that I had to reproduce and add to the project because that drag / drop the original versions, they meet in the drawer of photos available at the bottom of the project.
    • Backgrounds not showing not chosen when in page view individual but reappear when I go back to the overview of the project

    I feel like there is something a little more complex going on that I narrowly missed an empty space. I have spent days and days on this project which is 64 pages long and do not want to lose my job!

    Can anyone help please?

    My pictures is the latest version - I have installed at El Capitan yesterday (in the hope of resolving the problem of missing funds). I'm on a Macbook Air 11 ''.

    This is a screenshot of the page, need me every time that the error dialog appears, any page, I was on when I clicked 'buy '.

    Since you have any other software you don't have the same problem (and if you get this message, you don't have a photo of the missing - you will find it will continue as posted)

    go through your book and check that no page has a gray background (it is an indication that a photograph is necessary for the bottom), that there are no missing pictures on the pages requiring a photo which are then covered with a photo and that all the pictures of a photo inside - yor have most certainly not a picture missing in your phpotobook

  • Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

    Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

    I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
    I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
    Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
    MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
    I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

    How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
    Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

    These previous solutions have not helped:
    Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
    code641/MSI
    Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

    After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

    1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
    2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
    3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
    4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

    It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

    1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
    2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
    3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
    4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
    5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

    It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

  • Windows system32 config system is missing or damaged vista!

    OK, I got this message (windows system32 config system is missing or damaged vista) when I start my computer and I don't have a Setup disk or the recovery disk? How can I fix it?

    and I was wondering if I could upgrade to windows 7 same with that?

    The upgrade must be done out in a Vista operating system.

    If you cannot start in Wiondows:

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    See you soon.

  • Problem with Find is close to missing Photos

    First of all, I saw the post where the OP posted that he renamed photos and then the ability to find nearby missing Photos wasn't working.

    I had the photos that were on a network drive and I copied pictures on a disc hard so that I can work faster.  After all my changes, I've deleted the local copy of the raw files.  I thought I could just click on the '!' icon on a single photo, and a link back to the raw file that is on my network drive.

    The problem that I am running is only the picture that I chose is related even though the ability to find nearby missing Photos is on.  I've not renamed my raw sort files.  Right now, I'm linking each file one at a time and I have to go through 130 raw files.  I just wanted to check here to see if there is another solution.

    If all goes well, I'll get one before finishing through each file one by one

    Thank you

    Ron

    You can reconnect entire folders by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Update folder location"

    However, you create your own problems here, which can easily be avoided. Editing in Lightroom is NOT faster when the photo is saved to a local drive. You will find that there is no difference noticeable photo editing on a network rather than the pictures on a local disk. So the solution in the future is simple... let the pictures on the network drive.

  • Find nearby missing Photos does not not LR 2015.6.1

    I renamed a bunch of photos in the same folder and of course, they were all marked with the! I did the location and made sure the box to find pictures of missing nearby has been verified.  I confirmed that one I found was the one I wanted.  The! that this photo was removed.  I tried several times more in this batch and only meet every time.  This feature worked like a charm in all iterations of LR, I have used for years.  Why is it stopped now?  I forgot something?

    When you rename them outside of Lightroom how Lr is supposed to know which file goes with which newly renamed file.  I think that only works well to find nearby missing Photos (or does that) If you go just a bunch of files, but they have their original names.  You will probably need to do this one at a time.

  • 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.

    Normally, if you find one, you will find a lot of missing photos in the same folder.

    Then, you can reconnect all missing photos in this folder at a time.

  • missing photos see nothing in the lightroom images 6

    Hi, I need someone's help

    I got light Room 5 and made a backup for all photos on ex player

    I have a total crash of my hard drive that I install a new lightroom cc 6 when I restore the pictures I got that name and records with missing photos pictures cannot see anything inside in the frames

    I tried to find missing pictures but without success

    I had not noticed the little exclamation point [!] next to all your thumbnails gray when I gave my notice earlier. Of course Akash is fair, because there is also an indicator of lack-photo, the gray because your original photos are not where LR think they should be and there are no previews, more, but as the original photos are gone, LR cannot calculate a new preview thumbnails and can only see the gray.

    You need to know where your photos are really, what device and the drive letter, and recreate a link for them the way assani see the answer (s).

    Pictures are not stored within LR, LR just remembers where they were when you imported the.

    Where are you located photographs, which hard drive?

    If they were on the hard drive crashed and all the contents of that hard drive have been deleted then the photos have disappeared, unless you have a backup of them and them have copied on the hard disk in the same places where they were before.

    If the photos were on an external hard drive, then the only problem is that the drive letter for this external hard drive is different now that the OS has been rebuilt and assani instructions should work.  Or you can use disk management to change the drive letter of the disk to what it was before.

    It would be useful to have the area of the Panel records expanded so that we can see where LR thinks the pictures are, C: or somewhere else.

  • Impossible to locate missing photos

    I understand how the production system and have been careful not to move the photos on my hard drive without doing it in Lr. import of raw on my Mac hard drive files, edit and they are stored on my hard drive Mac ONLY. The previous pictures that were on my old HP were loaded with success on the Mac hard disk using a Lr technical support last fall and has not been moved since. A large part of images from January of this year in July of this year, as well as various photos of various years earlier in 2010 are now untraceable. I EXPORTED (not moved) to the desk top files for printing several times, but even photos that have never been exported appear missing. All of my missing photos are listed in this office since-deleted folder. In addition, all of the photos found are the exported jpg, not the CR2 files. Please help as I have no idea why these photos are missing or where otherwise they might be that I have does not move the files, export only by Lr I have to periodically back up to my entire Mac to an external hard drive, so should I just load an older catalog? Help, please!

    If possible, I'd like to talk to a human being on the phone. I had a wonderful experience when technical support helped me to move the files to my hard drive in HP photo died last fall. I was actually planning to spend 6 Lr but wanted to save all of the program on a hard disk external before loading the new version, just in case. Now, I don't feel uncomfortable doing without knowing why this happened and how to recover my precious photos.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If a file is exported as a jpg to a Lr desktop file (for printing from a print lab, for example), I should be able to remove this folder from office without losing the location of the raw file, correct?

  • How can I get the catalogue to recognize missing photos without doing them one by one?

    I've sorted in a collection without realizing many of the images are "missing photo". When I find the originals catalog is not automatically find that all the other missing persons photos around her as she normally does.

    There is that just too many missing photos do this one at a time, and I don't want to lose that way, that I created in the folder of the collection.

    How can I get the catalogue to recognize missing photos without doing it one by one?

    Navigate to the folder tree in the library module. Records must indicate that they are absent. Right-click on a folder and update the location of the folder. It will also work for all subfolders.
