Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG. The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer. In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost. When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga? Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?
By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.
Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.
But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.
Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.
Hope this makes things clearer.

The superdrive in my iMac (21.5, late 2009, running OSX 10.10.3) refuses to mount new audio CD. He sees the cds, which have already been imported into iTunes (12.3.2.35) and same DVD. But new (IE back to the computer) cds are ejected, which means that I can't add anything to my music library on a cd. Any help would be appreciated!
First try to reset the SMC & LANDAU 2 - 3 times back to back by LANDAU and Intel iMac SMC resets with all devices disconnected.
If that does not resolve the problem, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit and use it. If this does not work, then the SuperDrive is end of life and should be replaced. Many users with iMacs older everything just get external DVD readers, if you need to do this, I recommend you contact OWC (www.macsales.com) and they can direct you to one that fits your needs.

Where are the images that have already been imported?
With the help of LR CC, suppose I have import the images in a folder using the copy and that I rename the files as part of the import process. Later I try to import the images in the same folder again, but all the images are dimmed in the dialog box import indicating that they have already been imported into LR.
(1) how can I find the images in LR? I can't filter on the name of the file as the files have been renamed to import. There must be a way because LR knows that the files have already been imported even if they have been renamed so how do I find in LR?
(2) how LR knows that the files have already been imported when I try to import the second time? He can't use the name of file to compare the images that are in the catalog with the images that I am trying to import because the files have been renamed when imported originally.
Thank you.
My last suggestion re 'Date' should work if you have the original images in the computer.
I am referring to the "Capture Date" of the images in the metadata, this would remain unchanged even if renamed and copied.
or looking for good luck (5000 is not much! )

I want to see the photos on my hard drive that have already been imported to lightroom. Problem is when I open lightroom with the images that they are treated as an import and are not visible to be worked.
The 'Haze' indicates that you use the import command to display your images. You do not have it to display images or 'open' - Import is for saving the photos in the catalog/library. Therefore, close this import - dialog box there is a Cancel button.
You are now in the normal window of Lightroom. Press G to go on the grid, open the folders Panel in the library and the use of the library filter (Ctrl F on Windows or Cmf F on Mac).

I recently had to rebuild the computer and reinstalled the photos. I have photos imported into Lightroom, but the parameters associated with the photos, that is to say. When they were developed, are not there. How to import these?
Default LR stores all changes in the catalog file, not in the pictures. So if you have a backup of your original catalog you will need to copy on the newly rebuilt system and open it in LR. You will then need to recreate a link to the images in the catalog depending on where are your images and where the original LR catalogue think they are.

I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function.
I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I've slowly been import previews of the photos selected from the library in my catalog, adding them during the import process - well. But now, I hit a problem. Another folder in my library contains several subfolders, each containing a number of photos (a mixture of RAW steals (naves) and jpg). I was importing found in my catalog each Subfile in turn, using the Add function, usually of the jpgs only from each Subfile. It works fine, until I reached a particular Subfile. For some reason when I try to import from it and select the secondary file as a Source, only the RAW (NEF) images appear in the preview pane (sorry, forgot the correct term for it!). I know that jpg files are in this auxiliary file on the external hard drive, because when I view its content in Windows, they are all there. But try as I can (choose the file under source, select the folder parent as a source, try to copy or move them, instead of adding them), nothing seems to work. Since they do not appear in the preview pane, I can't import them. It does appear that this a Subfile where the problem exists, but I don't see anything that is different from the others (names of files under all use the same structure - yyyy-mm-dd_custom name, and pictures in all subfolders are adopting the same denomination structure too - yyyy-mm-dd_sequential number_custom name.) NAVE/JPG. So what I am doing wrong? Any ideas please.
It is possible that the images in this particular subfolder were taken in your camera in RAW + JPEG. If so, you will need to go to preferences under the general tab and make sure the box "processing JPEG files files next to raw as separate photos" is checked.
However, assuming that this is the case, there is really no reason to import the JPEG file if you already have the RAW file.

Upgraded to Lightroom CC a few months ago and have had major problems with importation, never had any problems before. Since the upgrade I import a map is fine, next card says pictures have already been imported and that they are grayed out. I know for a fact that I matter not yet. So frustrating! Someone please help! I even turned off the 'don't do not import suspected duplicates' box and again, it will not let add me or COPY. I will attach a screenshot.
Yes, I went straight from my card. I always did it that way. Not until the upgrade did I start having issues. I ended up having to download hard disk, rename and then import it. Quite unfortunate that they changed this in the upgrade, it was nice not having to move in all directions and could go straight to LR. Thank you very much for the help!

I had photoshop CS6 on my old computer, but my computer died so I had to replace it. How can I get a new activation code to download photoshop on my new computer?
Hi amyt19136080,
I suggest to connect to Adobe.com and check the serial number on the site, if you had registered the serial number on the old computer.
Also if you still have CS6 box with you, please try to look on the box.
Kind regards

Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.
Thank you
LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.
If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.
If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

LR6, Win10. The photos that have been imported do not show upward in the destination folder. Folder had been created within LR. Deleted the folder in LR and re-created. Tried to import again, but can not, as LR said that they have already been imported. Now the pictures do not exist on my PC, by searching via the Win10 File Explorer. How to re-import these photos? I still have them on the external hard drive, I tried to import original.
Most likely, you accidentally imported the photo to a different folder than the one you wanted.
Because you see the photo in "Previous import", I think you'd have to reconnect the external hard drive, then move (drag / move, entirely in Lightroom) or photos to the desired folder.
