Missing previews after a hard drive failure

Hello!

So, the hard drive on my MacPro laptop crashed, which gives me problems with my images on in Lightroom as I can't access the previews of the changes I made in my editing. Original Rawfiles were maintained to an external hardrive at the time, so those who are "safe and sound". However, is it possible to recover what I did I have Lightroom? I'm going to try to get previews by following these instructions extract present in preview in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4

But as I understand it, this will not work unless I have, way back when, imported the original files in Lightroom with a preview of selected 1-1. I doubt that I had checked during import. Most likely, I used the default settings that will be much lower and not enough in my opinion. Is it another way maybe?

Any help will be really appreciated!

Ok. Bad luck! But thanks anyway!

If I wanted to get the CC version later... then would have to make the same adjustment in the settings and then just relax and I relax as far as that goes? It will automatically carry out over the next updates?

Yes. With older versions of LR when I have a newer version is released, an upgrade not one updated, it has installed in its own folder, not on top of the previous version. If you had to go through and check all of your settings.

With CC, so far anyway, when you see a newer version, it installs on top of what is already installed, an update. But to be honest, I have no idea of this happens when and if Adobe comes up with LR 2016 or 2017 and eventually emits LR 7 in stand alone version, version perpetual license.

For now, we are on LR 6.5/CC 2015.5

You need a good backup system. If this be Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper (Drive cloning software for Mac) or a different backup method of whole hard drive that is used to start your computer and that you store all your important files.

Hard drives break down. It's not IF but when, as they all fail.

  • How to install Windows 7 after a hard drive failure?

    I need to format my hard drive and reinstall windows, use the same product key? I have Home premium (all three in use) 3 family pack.

    Yes, you can use the same product key, you may need to reactivate over the telephone.

    You can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disc.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Click on drive Options
    Select the disc/s click on Delete
    Click new
    Click on apply
    Click OK
    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

    Genuine Windows clean install

    Hello

    I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

    In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.
    Kind regards

  • HP 450 G1 laptop: Windows key after a hard drive failure

    Hi all

    I have the following problem. The laptop is dead and I ordered a new HD. Now I want to use the Windows license provided with the laptop. However, I can't find the productkey. Many forumposts refer to a Windows tool that allows to determine the key. But due to the failure of the disk, I can no longer boot into Windows...

    Catch22... Who can help out?

    PS. Disk provides an error 340, read out the errors and does not start...

    Hello:

    If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number of HP and order a set of recovery disc for your laptop.

    1-800-334-5144

    Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

    Access to, or know the product key for your laptop is worthless.

    On all of the PCs that come with the W8 or newer version of the factory, Microsoft has developed a new process of how product keys are stored.

    They are stored in the chip of the BIOS on the motherboard, and the only way that they work is if you use recovery discs or installation OEM disc specifically for the version of W8 or newer than the key is good for.

    When you install Windows, the key in the BIOS is automatically read and verified by Windows, and the installation continues.

    It is therefore necessary to enter the product key when you install an OEM of W8 version or newer.

    There is no product more stickers keys, so that the OEM key cannot be used illegally on another PC, because it is a violation of the terms of the licenses of operating system.
