• All help & support files have disappeared. I get the message "help and support files cannot start."

  Original title: help & support files

  Windows 7 Professional. All help & support files have disappeared. I get the message "help and support files cannot start."

  How to return please?.

  Perhaps.  An analysis of file system I think would replace the help files, but you can try it, there is no harm.  Just open a command prompt (right click and "open as Administrator"), and then type sfc/scannow

• Adobe ideas files have disappeared.

  I'm having a problem with the idea files disappearing.  I have used Adobe ideas for a while now on my personal iPad, and I worked on a second iPad to create illustrations for the work.  Two iPads are signed on the same Adobe account.  Last week, I synced the two accounts so that all my files would be present on two iPads.  Today, when I opened the ideas on my personal iPad, put ideas to update all files and all my old files (for a period of 3 months time) has disappeared.  I can't find them in my Adobe account or anywhere else. Any ideas as to what could have happened, or how can I find these important files?

• All of my files have disappeared from my Vista laptop

  * 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.

• Favorites, desktop & PST files files have disappeared.

  I am running Windows 8 and Office 2013 on my Pro Surface which is connected to a windows server 2008 small business. I logged this morning & everything was according to the normal and then stop. 4 hours later, I've rekindled my Surface Pro back & noticed that files that have been made to my office were now missing! The I noticed that I had also lost my favorites IE10 & my PST files that are found also in this profile! The strange thing is that my trash all my deleted messages still there, my taskbar & desktop still has my shortcuts.

  I rebooted, tried several restore points & registered in & out of the local machine & domain but nothing helped. I searched on the drive C for files & shortcuts that I know were there, but nothing comes up in the search. From what I see they disappeared in the air all of a sudden! I searched the internet for the last 8 hours to find a solution, but I don't see that anyone else has had this problem! I also made a thorough analysis of the virus on my computer using the software from TrendMicro, I installed but nothing was detected.

  I have the start menu classic Shell installed & I had installed an update for it yesterday. The only other thing I did recently was yesterday that I had moved to the location of my user account location in the tree of folders on the Server Active Directory users & computers. I have a problem this morning then it seems as if it happened out of the blue!

  I am very desperate to find a solution that was my documents on my desk, favorite links to lots and lots of Web sites that I use for work & years of emails saved in my PST file. Yes I know, I had a backup of my local computer :(

  Thank you

  Dean.

  Detective Conan... computer local has reduced the problem down to a windows update that was not installed correctly, which has damaged my profile folder. Not a happy camper! :(

• I have a Seagate backup and all of a sudden all my files have disappeared from him.  My MacBook Pro does not show anything in it, but it shows that it is complete.  Hundreds of photos are missing.

  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.

• LR stored on external hard disk files have disappeared or became not related?

  Help: I opened LR to work on some files. The hard drive where the files are stored is attached. LR has always considered all the files it's supposed to. NOW, for some reason, it only sees the files LR upwards until 2014. It does not show me the files, properly installed and already worked on several times. If I go on my external hard drive, I can see all the files after both before 2014. The files are always there hard disk, but it is no longer bound to LR. How and why this happened and how to I fix? Thank you.

  Hi seandt,

  Have you checked in Control Panel from all photographs in the library module and subfolders?
  Are these images not appearing at all in the Lightroom library or they appear with the exclamation points?

  Work in the same catalog that you were earlier?

  Go to the file menu > open recent item > check if you are in the correct catalog.

  Kind regards

• 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.
