'My pictures' folder of Windows missing after import

I receive an iMac 27 "new very soon and, in preparation, transferred everything from my old Windows XP 'My pictures' folder to a USB key.  I then imported the Photos content on my MacBook Air El Capitan running.  The transfer went very well, but all the content of the "My pictures" is now randomly scattered through the folder «All the Photos»  They are classified in other folders, such as 'Moments', but my original Windows files are all gone.

This leads to a few questions.  To re-create my original folder structure, can I now have to add new folders and then find and move the photos that were once in these records?  "All Photos" are a mess and all dotted with hundreds of new imported photos.  I realize that this issue is essentially nothing else that a photo storage box, but is possible to organize so that I can more easily find the photos of what I'm looking?

When my new iMac comes, I think I should be able to recover all my photos by connecting to my iCloud account.  (I'm running with enabled library.)  Is that correct or should I import directly from the USB again?  With a 1 TB drive merger, I will store the photos full resolution on the iMac.

Thanks for all comments and suggestions.  So far I find the structure of pictures much less intuitive than my old archaic, but simple to use, "my images".

All the Photos are sorted by date added and you can not change his organization - pictures are sorted by the data of the Photo

Windows folders had no meaning for Photos - you want to re-create your windows folder structure, you will need to start again and import the contents of a folder at once, select last import, select all and click the sign + to create an album that would be the same as the record - repeat for each folder - name or add a keyword and then use an album will include smart of them for you

Yes ICPL transfers to your iMac when you use ICPL all devices remain the same - each deletion, adding and editing on any device are made on all devices

What you're missing, it's that the Photos is a SQL database so that you can pictures finder by date, place (it is part of the info) keyword (as you add them) and many other ways - for ideas look under the file menu ==> new smart album to see the different ways you can group automatically pictures (you can use the same things for research)

For what is intuitive--it's only because your intuition is the result of the years of doing things go (which is extremely restrictive) - once you learn how a database works the new track will be very intuitive and the old way will be no - one driving Brit right is non-intuitive, the rest of the world driving on the left is not intuitive - that's all what you're used to and a database is different

  • Cannot open pictures (jpg) in Windows 8 after restoring a backup of my old laptop to Windows 7. Permissions problem?

    Using a WD 1 TB external hard drive and the WD software, I made a backup of my old computer with the intention of transferring pictures, documents, etc. to my new computer Windows 8.

    Files backed up and I restored it selectively records my images on the new computer without error.

    When I open the folder my pictures in Windows 8, I see the files but the imprint does not show the picture.  to place an icon for Windows picture something or another watch (purple photo of the mountains).

    Images will be open in everything I tried.  Something about a permissions problem.

    Any ideas on what I could have done wrong or how to fix the permissions problem, so I can see my photos?

    Click on the photos (you can select/highlight all and do it once for each of them at the same time) and go to properties.  On the Security tab, click Advanced, and then change the "owner" for your user account (search in the options that appear).

    After you set the owner, click OK until all boxes are saved/closed.  Return to properties again and this time, set yourself to have "total control" on the files. Now you should be able to open and use.

  • How to stop Windows 7 opening 'imported photos and videos' after each scan an image?

    I'm scanning multiple images and after EACH scan, Win7 opens a new window "Imported pictures and videos", despite the window being open 20 times already...

    In the import dialog box, deselection 'Open Windows Explorer after import' has no effect.  After each import, a Windows Explorer window appears showing me that the directory of the file has been imported to (i.e. "imported photos and videos").  Worse still, this happens even if another this window is already open - so if (for example), I scan 10 pictures, I have 10 windows explore open all showing this same directory (unless I close them I will).

    It's boring, clutters the taskbar and takes expire have to close each window - how are we going to stop Win 7 "Imported photos and videos" opening after each scan?

    Hello Carl,

    You attempted to change the option to "Open the Windows Explorer after import" while connected as another user on the computer to see if the problem persists?
    Also, have you tried to scan using a different computer to see if we can isolate the problem to a machine?
    If you have checked these things and the behavior has not changed, I suggest to leave feedback for the Windows team at this link as an option behaves as expected:

  • Folder my documents is missing after upgrade to Windows 7

    Original title: MJ has upgraded to windows 7 ultimate

    I just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate and now find my documents folder is missing, I have tred everything including checking my old windows files, but nothing is, can anyone help

    Hi Mike,.

    Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

    1 are you referring to the "documents" folder in Windows thelibrary?

    2. did you check the exact location of the folder "documents" in Windows 7?

    3. from which operating system you have upgraded to Windows 7?

    4. have you received an error during the upgrade to Windows 7?

    Method 1:

    As was the Document and Settings folder in Windows XP Pro in Windows 7 does not have access to any user, as it is a protected file. The folder you're talking has now been replaced in Windows 7 with the USERS folder. And you can also access the folders of documents in libraries. You can search the documents folders in C:/Users/user_name.  If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.

    Method 2:

    $INPLACE. ~ TR and $WINDOWS. ~ Q are leftover folders created by Windows during the upgrade process, if there is no error while upgrading files may be saved in these files.

    Individual records will be hidden by default and you can view the folders to view the folders. You can look in the C: drive.

  • Virtually all of the files are missing after you import the catalog.

    I'm NOT sure that has nothing to do with lightroom, except that yesterday my files were all there, now, they are absent.  It could be a hard disk failure.  Its just strange that it affected only the files that I tried to interfere in my lightroom catalog today.

    Well as out of town, I pulled a few thousand photos and them ingested on a daily basis in a new lightroom catalog that I created on my laptop.  Files imported into a USB external drive.  The laptop is win 10.  It is on the latest version of lightroom, CC.  Yesterday, everything was going well with the catalog, disk, and files.  All were there.  The catalogue and the photos were on the same drive.  The laptop was listed as the letter 'g ':

    Once I went back to the office today, I wanted to import pictures to my largest catalog on my desktop.  I have used this external hard drive for all my new photos in 2016.  On this PC, Win 10, the letter of the external drive is also "X:".  I started lightroom in my big catalogue very well.  I chose to import from a different catalog, accessed my X Catalogue outside in the car and started importing without a copy of the files.  This should leave the files in the same location.  It took a little more time I expected to import this catalog.  When I went to the structure of folders inside lightroom, it seemed that all the files have been imported correctly.  But there was a "?" from the folder.  I assumed that I just needed to do a "find" on the X drive as I thought that my lightroom catalog could have been pointing to the G drive.  Locate, but cannot find the files.  I've used windows explore to browse my files and the folders and files were all missing, with the exception of a folder where I shot some photos with a camera, about 100 photos in all.  Thousands of photos from other cameras were all absent.

    So next time, I ran a scan disk and windows came with a message of repair.  The repair said that it worked successfully.  But I looked in the Explorer, the files were still missing.  I ran a scan disk again and no error found.

    I looked in the trash on the desktop and there is no files on this disc.  If the missing files are still missing.  I had not saved the files yet since they were really vacation photos and have no critical and since I was going to save them after that I spent in review on the workstation.  Some are still on the cards and could be retrieved.  But I formatted my main map at least a couple of times and I'm afraid that most would have been crushed and is more viable, even using the card recovery software.

    Before you begin importing today, I don't check the disk to make sure that all my files were there.  There is no error in windows at startup and I don't mind just to check in Explorer or open the 'new' catalog first.

    1. Could Lightroom have somehow deleted files and can they be retrieved?
    2. Assuming that it was a Windows / hard drive error, can anyone recommend a program attempt to recover files lost like that?  Given that the entire folders, sound also lack if the index of the obtained partially erased disc.  But maybe the files are still there.  Then there is a program to search for them?

    Note that the other files on this drive all seem to be good.  The only missing are import of today.

    It is drive X:, but the files are not there.
    portable version is 2015.6

    Desktop version is 2015.5

    Somehow, the windows removed them.  I use EaseUS data recovery to retrieve them.  He had no problem finding the files.  So I guess we can mark this resolved.

  • Missing Photos after importation of Aperture

    Hello!

    I did just the opening switch to Lightroom and I use version 1.1 of the plugin import Aperture.

    I have in my Aperture library, according to library-> Photos: Photos of 11105, however after import in Lightroom, I only 10967 photos. I checked the import log and there are 4 items that could import - 3 were files .mpo (panoramas of a xPeria) and 1 was a .gif file. That leaves a deficit of 133 photos that I can't explain.

    Is it possible to compare the aperture library to the lightroom library to see what is missing?

    Hope you find your system developed problems.

    I ended up exporting from successful to referenced.  First of all, I collapsed all of my folders nested in a single folder in Aperture, and then exported using a personal file FOLDER/PROJECT format, where the record was of the year, or the YEAR in JAPAN, where I had several nested projects.  Fast forward after the conversion, I then re-nested folder structure.

    After you export all the photos of successful to referenced, I then used all the normal gymnastics in the opening to make sure that all images have been exported and 'online '.  About 15 were not, then I need to resolve these differences, which included duplicate references, mainly.  Once exported, I generated previews.  You're not dealing with previews, so I'll spare you the even longer discussion about how I needed to account for them.  In light of all of the files are external, it is easier to determine which files have not been imported into Lightroom.  I didn't have an anomaly.

    Make sure you don't have duplicate keywords!  I thought I had, but due to the nature of nested keywords, I had a few references duplicated as 'portrait', I had used to mark the initial orientation of the photo, as well as the keyword Aperture stock.  Made a mess of things later.

    Despite the hardships, even in running through the entire library before, I found myself running out of memory AND problems with the GPS.  I ended up using HoudahGeo to create files sidecar with GPS of opening data prior to importation.  After trying everything, I used a dark suggestion to run import on a build of Mac OS X instead of 10.10.3 10.9.4.  That seemed to do the trick.

    A lot of things to clean up afterwards, but I can just leave it as what.  Wish that the faces are exportable now that Lightroom supports the faces, but I won't hold my breath.  Appears opening Adobe plug-in development is concluded.  Tens of thousands of assignments in Aperture.

    Also sad to lose settings, but at least I have the keyword each parameter before exporting.

    Almost all of the work must be done in the opening before the transition.  You watch just how flexible and versatile opening is still today.

    Always curious to know how you will manage your conversion, so please keep posting!

  • "Remove item after importation" of Photos is activate but failed to import! Both devices (iPhone and Macbook) have no pictures!

    How could I come back all these pictures?

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.
