Notice of update LR deletes the catalog

I came here with this question a year or two ago, but it seems to be unknown. However, it keeps happening to me.

I LR4, and the problem is that sometimes when launching it, a box if poster letting me know there is an update available, and I want to download it. Before that I can even answer, that past to every_single_time when this box appears that my current LR catalog is wound up, only showing pictures of the last import. Then, when I go to 'file', 'open recent' in an attempt to revive the previous, all catalog what existed in the past were these images since the last import. This time however - it is not even that. Also in occurrences, past I was able to revive at least my most recent backup catalog. However, this time, when I go to "open the catalog" and try to do it, I get an error message that says "Lightroom does not start with this catalogue. It is on a network volume or a volume on which LR cannot save the changes.

I know that images (and I guess that LR changes) are still on my hard drive, but at this point, it is totally inaccessible for me, it is so discouraging. I would really appreciate help to understand this. Thanks in advance.

It seems that you save your backups LR in subfolders nested under backup files earlier. What caused the "file path" to become very long:

C:\Users\Mary\Pictures\Lightroom\2013-09-03 0637\Backups\2014-07-08 0805\Backups\2014-09-01 2214\Backups\2014-11-26 2300\Backups\2015-03-14 1516\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4

It is in the Windows file and the limits of folders, but LR may have additional restrictions regarding the access path of the LR catalog. When you install a LR update appears the current LR catalog file can not be found because of the long drive. Ditto when you try to use a backup of the catalog file.

I suspect you may have a similar problem with your current work LR catalog. The file catalog LR and previews must be stored directly in the Lightroom subfolder and not in subfolders beneath it.

Here is the location:

\Pictures\Lightroom\ name of C:\Users\[user]

Here is what should be in the Lightroom more top folder with LR is closed:

4 of Lightroom Catalog.lrcat file

Previews.lrdata folder for Lightroom 4 catalog

Please close LR and move your file Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4 more and Lightroom 4 catalog Previews.lrdata folder at the above address and never move or rename in the future. Then open LR, and go to the menu file > catalog and select the 4 Lightroom Catalog.lrcat file to the location above.

As suggested by Jim LR catalog backups must be stored on another drive identical to your image file backup copies. A software backup application should be used to keep the current backup with the new files, modified files and deleted files. During a new LR Catalog backup cannot create a subfolder. Use the same destination folder (Lighroom backups) on the external hard drive and LR will create its own subfolder with the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 4 file.

  • Delete the catalog and recording files in Lightroom?

    I want to find the duplicate image files and delete all but one of my Lightroom Catalog AND SINCE THE DISC itself.

    can anyone recommend a method to achieve this more effectively?

    I need to see the images side by side in the overview before choosing what to mix and that should be kept because some files have the same file name but a different picture.  This is a result of sloppy organization and also pictures come off several cameras with similar naming sequences.

    the Lightroom Catalog I'm in is 60 000 + images with LOTS of dupes.

    Sorry for the noob question, but in another post I found the answer is simple.  I look at all THE PHOTOGRAPHS in the catalog.  Then, select a set of individual files which must be provided to screw up.  I can either hit the button DELETE (DELETE in the EDITION MENU is not active) or don key CONTROLS (on a Mac) and select REMOVE.  A choice is given to take on the image of the catalog or what I want, it's DELETE DISK IMAGE.  I have a lot of files to go through but it makes my job a LOT easier.  Thank you ADOBE!

  • How do I update my catalog when mod LR library does not see everything in the catalog (don't no synchronization of the folder)

    I have a disk that contains just my LR catalog, the structure of the file is LRcatalog (j) > LRcatalog (folder) > Primary_Image_Catalog (folder) > can an individual record for each year (2001-2017) > inside each folder for years, I have an individual file for each job > then the images. All appear in the library until you reach 2015 LR mod. The 2015, 2016, 2017 files located on the hard drive do not appear in the mod library for all my work for 2015 and 2016 are just tight enough and not in this record of the year. Is there a way to update or synchronize the catalog so that I could see everything that is on the drive when I'm in the library mod? Vid in YouTube if you don't understand the question.

    Since we can not see the whole of the hierarchy on the left side (and can not read the text either), I suspect that you put the landscape Test folder in the wrong parent folder

    Two things to try

    1. right click on the landscape test folder and select view the Parent folder, repeat if possible Parent folder until no record Parent more

    2. right click on a pictures just imported, select view in Explorer, then Lightroom opens a window of Windows Explorer that contains the newly imported photos, then see if it's the correct folder for your picture according to Windows

  • Could not import the catalog of items

    Good evening

    I just installed LR CC 2015.  I am trying to import my PS 12 elements catalog.  After the installation of LR, he asked if I wanted to import my catalog of items.

    I answer OK.

    It completes step 1 but very quickly the steps 2 and 3 flash by and the process fails with an error message "Cannot import catalog items due to an unknown error."

    I went to the elements and ran a repair of the catalog.  No problems were found, but I ran the repair anyway.  (I have only a catalog with photos about 7200 in it.)  Try the import again.  Same result.

    My computer is an iMac mid-2013 with 8 GB of RAM.  The OS is 10.11.4.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The problem has been resolved.  I made changes to my catalog of PES 12, one that could have been useful.

    • deleted the catalog items that does not generate stamps for unknown reasons.  Those with a "broken" thumbnail  There were few of them.
    • Deleted the catalog items that were orphans - were found no associated file on the hard drive.  There were about 10 of them.
    • Deleted about 10 sound files from the catalog.  Not sure how they got there in the first place.
    • Updated the Visual index.  (less probably helped)
    • Ran optimize catalog
    • Ran repair (for the second time) catalog, even if the dialog box indicated that it was not necessary.
  • Windows Update cannot check the updates because of the error code 80070002.

    Hi, I have a 64-bit Windows Vista, Microsoft Service Pack 1.

    My Windows Update stops errors whenever I have trying to update. This has happened for a while now, maybe 4-5 months? However, since there is no reason that I needed to update, I just let go.

    Then I realized that because of this error, my iTunes won't work; during installation, there is an error with the same numbers: 80070002. I really need to use iTunes, and it won't work.

    I checked the system for errors and renamed, but it has not fixed no problem.

    Please, how can I solve this problem?

    Hi xgbearfsho,

    If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again.

    Windows Update Error 80070002

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-Error-80070002

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you install service pack 2 for Windows vista on the computer and check if this solves the problem of update.

  • Windows Update feature connects to the Windows Update server after the transition from XP to Windows 7 Pro.

    Updated XP PC to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  First upgrade failed due to the bad version of Win 7.  (Distorted version of seller).  Correct version relocation has left two versions installed so I started reinstalling the correct version and reformat selected before continuing.  (21/04/16)  Installation proceeds correctly, validated and activated license, but the update function didn't work.  One version on the disc after the previous action.  Then I downloaded and installed IE 11 manually the version 11.0.9600 of Microsoft (same date) and then downloaded and installed MSE from Microsoft 4.9.218.0 version (same date).   MSE updates have not downloaded initially until I ran Win update problems solving.

    I have since run program sfc/scannow (without problems of integrity or repaired files), update Windows utility for troubleshooting and Fixit programs.  I also stopped the update service, delete the appropriate configuration of software and restarted the service records.  Still not connection with update server.

    Download and install the following update manually. This greatly speeds up the update of Windows on new installations of Windows 7.

  • Cannot delete the thumbnails in the Organizer - error message: error deleting MediaI

    I 23 000 pictures in my Photoshop elements catalog. I have a group of them tried to remove because I want to get rid of the tags in the file and apply new - this is another question that PES does not allow you to remove the tags in the file itself, so to start I have delete the catalog entry, use Explorer to remove the tags, and then import the cleaned file.

    So I tried to remove the thumbnails/catalog entries but not the underlying file and I get the error suppression of media. Then I copied the files over to a new directory, deleted the tags, and reimported them in PSE. Now, I still want to delete the files in the original directory. This time I check the option of also remove items from the hard drive. Guess what - the same message: Error removing media. I then used the Explorer to delete files and then tried to remove the entries from the catalog - same message: Error removing media.

    I'm stuck now. The thumbnails are still there, but not related to what it is and I can't get rid of them. By the way I have been around the loop on this several times, have optimized and repaired the catalog even if I got the message that the catalog didn't need repair.

    I managed to solve my problem. I had to download "SQLite DB browser", open the database 'catalog.pse12db' PES file, located the corresponding files in the "Media_Table" and deleted.  I was expecting some problems and thought I should remove other entries in other tables or fix the basis data, but when I started the PSE all organizer was settled. No file no problem that will not delete.

    It is a pity that Adobe does not provide a significant level of support and that such problems must be solved by the community members. Considering the amount of money they make from the sale of their products, they could at least have expert software available to address some of the issues more complex are displayed and offer advice and support.

  • How can you save the original with the catalog file file after edit

    OK I'll try boarding.

    First of all, I shoot a game... According to 600 photos. Import the game in lightroom, I mark the photos I want and delete the catalog. I edit and rename and export the files I want the game. say 300 photos.

    My question is; After saving the 300 photos in the catalogue how match the original photos with those exported if they match.

    I think that the best answer is to change your workflow.

    I never export photos except for a specific purpose (e-mail, web, print), and then after that I used the photos exported, I remove the exports. I do not export them just to have sitting around on my hard drive for some whose use is more later. In this way, the photo is still available in Lightroom, and if you want this photo retouched, you go into Lightroom and find and export as required. It is not question to match to originals with exported given that you do not keep the exported photos once they have served their purpose (e-mail, web, print).

  • Error in updating the catalog after upgrade to OME 2.0

    Successfully upgraded OME 1.3-> 2.0.

    Refreshed all ranges with success.

    Update the catalog reported following error:

    Import failed Dell Version order catalog for update of the system of ftp://ftp.dell.com/catalog/catalog.cab . Exception message: error: 2627, procedure: usp_PackageApplicable_Comparison_PerDevice, Message: Violation of constraint PRIMARY KEY 'PK_ApplicablePackage '.

    However, it seems he's been through, because now he says that this catalog version is newer.

    This can be ignored?

    Thanks for the question.

    I'll check around to see if it has been seen.  But looks like when you view the version of catalog and the date in the console of OME, it is showing the most up-to-date?

    In the past, when people have lance in something similar they will use SQL Management Studio to smash the old catalog and download the latest version.  The command is:

    DELETE FROM OMEssentials.Catalog.Manifest;

    But if you are not comfortable with playing with the database, you may consider a support ticket to let them take a look.

    The logic of upgrade is supposed to run this command before the new catalog is downloaded.
