Modified files have disappeared from My Collections folder
I just spent the last hours 8 selection on a hundred photographs from more than 1000 images and placed them in a Collections folder, but as I take a few images in the Collections folder they all disappeared. Not sure what I did but I quickly press the cancel key, but they did not return. Can someone tell me please on how to get the images I had in my Collections return folder? Any help is appreciated...
Hi Nekten sorry for your frustration.
Unfortunately, you have discovered the behavior of collections or collections 'silly' as I like to call them.
They are little like cardboard for storage boxes - they do the job, but you have to decide what to remove and what to put in them.
If items are removed incorrectly then the only way for them to get back in is to pack them yourself - the items themselves have no innate knowledge where they are supposed to be.
So apart from again there is no solution here.
However, I have a better idea for you to consider.
Use the Smart collection.
Smart collections are filled according to the criteria you select.
These collections become self-referential - as long as an image contains the metadata set criteria, that it belongs to this collection.
Can not accidentally delete a picture from a Smart collection.
The most likely candidates for the inclusion criteria can be side to stars, labels color or key words, but all of the searchable metadata may be used as appropriate.

* original title - I have a big problem! all my backup files, photos, music and the icons have dissapered from my laptop! Can someone help me because I really want to get my files back. Thank you amy *.You must scan your system against viruses and malware. Get www.microsoft.com/security_essentials and www.malwarebytes.org and do a full system scan with each. Then, you may need to restore shortcuts and other thereafter. It really depends on how messed up it. It might be useful to take a reputable shop and have them back up the disk and fix problems.

I have a MacBook Pro and recently upgraded to Yosemite. I used the time Machine before I upgraded. My Seagate 4 T worked very well. Started a back-up and he started to save and quit - Time Machine says something not be checked? and then I noticed that all my files are gone. I have a partition separated for my Time Machine and my photos and they are all gone too. I'm afraid to unplug the Seagate and turned off my Mac. I see that my external hard drive is still partially used in the two partitions. Show my photos in Lightroom with the? Mark and I have gone and looked for the files but cannot find them. Can I stop the external hard drive? Can someone help me?
Your external HARD drive may have failed. Open utility disk, then run first aid > Verify and Repair the disk.

Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)
Basically, the question says it all.
All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.
I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.
If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?
If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511
Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:
Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.
I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

All my posts have disappeared from the Inbox.
I realized there is a similar problem posted, but proposed solutions don't work here and the details here are different.
All messages have disappeared from the Inbox. The sent box is fine, but deleted from the Inbox messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin.
A search of the Inbox for messages of size > 0 allows me to see the messages and respond to them.
If I move a message to another folder the moved message is invisible but believes it is search.Deleted messages are in the trash folder, but is not visible. A search in the trash finds them.
Messages in the search boxes reuse (response, delete), but try to delete a selected message in the search box list has no effect.
I found a solution. I can't take credit, but I tell you that I was almost embarrassed the simplicity of the solution and the problem.
AT & T ConnectTech technician admitted that when I could left click and select the message in a tab, it was probable that nothing was clicked in the "select to display columns" in the top right of the CT. He clicks on a selection of articles and automatically that my messages appeared. -
All messages have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox.
All of my emails have disappeared from Thunderbird Inbox. "Sent" and "Trash" messages are OK. I tried to delete the file "Inbox.msf", as some have suggested, then restarted TB, but the mailbox is still empty. My messages are apparently still in the "Inbox" file (under 'profile'), but all the gobblety-gook with loads of codes and numbers. I copy all of this mess, but don't have a clue how it back in my Inbox and make it readable. Can anyone help?
I don't know why the size has changed... maybe I deleted something?
I tried importing and had nothing but issues (details on my previous answer).
I spent 3 days on this now and I'm tired. I guess I'll try using some email recovery program.
Thanks for the help.

I rang my phone co co/email, microsoft and the manufacturers of my coomputer, but everyone tells me problem of is the other company. Meanwhile, I am really concerned about all the emails that I lost. Can anyone suggest how to get rid of this security box and restore all my lost emails? Help!

Hello.
I just noticed that xmp files, I mean by there any changes I made on the LR image, have disappeared from some files in my library.
Is it possible to find them?
Sorry for my English, I'm french.
Best.
Eric
Paige,
The OP said that all the changes he made in LR disappeared. The lack of XMP data maintenance is a red herring, probably caused by the thought that this is where LR stores the changes, without realizing that the changes are stored in the catalog.

All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated).
All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated). The files are all on the hard drive. When I try and import them, said organizer that they are already in there and I cannot proceed. When I select a keyword, get the message "NO MEDIA to DISPLAY. I may be dense, but I find the search function of the Forum to be nearly useless, unless I just happen to enter the Exact name of a subject.
I have now no access to 35 000 files maybe 12 years of use of PSE!
GFrey
Hello
Operating system that you are running on?
What version you put in?
In the Organizer, what view do you - use in the display menu is details checked, or unchecked - t - it make a difference?
On the view menu, select media types - are all verified?
Menu, select hidden - files is in view - show all files audited?
I assume you're in the media view, what happens if you select the places people or events?
