Files not showing up in Lightroom 4.4

I was reorganizing/rationalizing my hard drive file folders outside of Lightroom.
Now not all the images in the folders show up in Lightroom 4.4
For instance:
In a 2014 folder there are 25 files. Lightroom's Folders panel shows the number as 15. If I try Import it shows all 25 files but the missing 10 are greyed out and thus not available for import.
If I Syncrhonize the folder, the little dialog says there are 10 files to be imported, but when I click Synchronize another dialog comes up saying there are no files to import.
Suggestions on how to make the files available in Lightroom 4.4 would be helpful, Thanks.

You will probably find that if you go to "All Photographs", some photos now have a ? icon on them. This is because you have moved or renamed photos outside of LR. You can reconnect the photos via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder-old.htm. I would NOT even try synchronizing as a solution in this case; as you have already seen, it won't fix the problems.
As Tom said, you really need to get out of the habit of moving things around in your operating system. Not gradually get out of the habit, or partially get out of the habit, but completely and immediately get out of the habit of doing this. Just don't do it anymore.
If you MUST move folders and photos, do so within Lightroom. Drag and drop to a new location in the Lightroom Folder panel. But if you're going to put the effort into "reorganizing/rationalizing my hard drive file folders", let me suggest what I think is a superior way to go ... don't reorganize your folders at all ... instead put the effort into assigning keywords and other metadata to your photos, and from that point on, use keywords and other metadata as your search mechanism. Not only does this result in fewer problems in the long run, but it gives you the potential to create a far superior organization than anything you can accomplish by moving folders around. In fact, I'll guess even further that the reason you want to move your folders around is because folders aren't exactly getting the job done ... and in that case I'm also guessing (but pretty sure) that you will find keywords and other metadata easily overcome these limitations. I can be more specific if you want.

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC
i had the Ex HD for about 3 years running smoothly on my mac but recently everything disappeared. plunged it into a pc to see if it read my files and it did. what can i do? to make it work on mac again. i don't want to reformat that drive because i have important applications (DMG) and other zip photo video files in the drive.

yes. i did.
...i have tried "verify" & "repair" but they didn't pass the san test. and when i "unmounted/mount" a error message popped up say that there is a application running off the drive but there nothing (i see) running, to close all activity

File not showing in SharePoint (IE) but visible in Explorer

I have a document library that has a single file not showing up that I can't seem to track down. I am hoping someone here might be able to offer something I haven't thought of.
The document library is very much 'stock'. Verisioning is turned on and minor revisions aren't viewable to folks without edit rights. I am the admin with full control to everything - as is the user this initially impacted. The file will show
in the Explorer view - but isn't viewable in an 'all files' file via the browser or when attempting to open via Excel. If we provide the full path/file it does open successfully in Excel and offer the Check Out option - but it won't show up
in the 'File Open' dialog.
I thought at first it might be a matter of not having a version checked in - but it isn't showing under "Manage files which have no checked in version" menu. I've gone through the various SharePoint view options and can't find anything there either.
What would make a single Excel file in such an ordinary document library not be visible to users with full control rights? We have roughly 80k files stored in SharePoint overall - so please don't read this as being our initial test of SharePoint.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Just to add a few more details. I have been able to add the file to a different library and they uploaded fine. The library in question is created off of a template and has 2 metadata fields. The fields are also being used in the other library, but that
was created from a different template.
The site and initial 4 libraries were created from a site template and then the library was added from a different library template. Checking ULS logs now, but doubtful I will find anything.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

NEF Files Do Not Show up in Lightroom.

Hello,
I bought a new Nikon D750 yesterday and my raw files do not show up in Adobe Lightroom. The do show up in Photoshop and Bridge. I have creative cloud and it says it is "up to date" Does anyone know how I can get Lightroom to open the files? Thanks. Father Hungry.

Install Lightroom CC 2015 via your Adobe Creative Cloud app.

Imported files not showing up in folders

I've imported .psd files into a folder of .dng images so I can stack them with their originals. They were all saved with Max Compatibility and LightRoom seems to import them ok, but they don't show up in the grid or filmstrip. Their folder listing has a + sign by the file total and in the folder hierarchy on the filmstrip panel it says that it's showing 82 of 95 photos. How can I get these .psd files to appear?
If I check the actual folder on the hard disk, the .psd files are there. If I remove them from the folder and try to re-import them, I get a message saying they are already there.
This hasn't happened every time I've done this action, but a number of my folders show this problem.

For *.jpg and *.nef (RAW) files the handling is similar:
If there is a *.nef (RAW) file in the source directory, a *.jpeg with same name will be copied by LR into the destination directory, but the *.jpg will not be included in the LR database.
The problem is, that LR does not report this to the user. LR should open a popup window after import listing the files not added to the database (as it does for duplicates).
Personally I'd find it better if LR would import everything to disk AND database. It should perform an automatic stacking for files with same name but different type. The RAW or DNG should be on top of stack of course.

.dng files not showing as thumbnails in Mac Finder

Hi.
I'm in the process of converting to Lightroom for my photos on my Mac, and when I've downloaded the sample .dng files for the tutorials I notice that they do not appear in my Mac Finder folders as thumbnails. Clearly this is a bit of a disadvantage where photo files are concerned.
The .dng files I've downloaded all appear as identical graphical icons that look like a camera aperture.
Is there any way to get these files to show up as thumbnails on my Mac please?
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on a MacBook Pro.

They are the sample files available at the official Adobe Lightroom Support website, for use when following the official video tutorials. The metadata on them shows them to be from a Canon EOS 5D MkII.
They can be downloaded here:- How to manage your digital photos | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tutorials If that link takes you to the overview page, they're in the block on the far left of the page, called 'Getting Started'.
(Actually, could you possibly do me a favour and download them from there to see if they show up as thumbnails on your computer? If they specifically don't, but other .dng files do, then it would prove that it is something about the files themselves that are to blame.)

Files not showing up?

When i download or save a file it doesnt show up in the finder window?
example:
I can see the torrent files in the stack but not in the window?
How can I fix this so the finder window shows my files?

I'll navigate LR to a directory and I'll notice some files are missing (raw, psd, jpg). However, when I go to the directory with Windows Explorer the files are there.
What you see in Lightroom is not a file browser, it will not show you the files if they have not been imported into Lightroom, and it will not show you the files if they have been imported into Lightroom and (probably accidentally) copied into a different folder. Thus it is possible that the results you see in Lightroom are different than what you see in Windows explorer.
I then go back to Lightroom and do a synchronize folder on the directory and the files are not found (synchronize shows zero files to be imported). Any thoughts?
Is it possible that these photos have already been imported into Lightroom and by accident, Lightroom has made a copy (during the import operation) of the photo in a different folder? I think you ought to investigate if this has happened. So, in Lightroom, turn off all filters (Ctrl-L Once or twice), click on All Photographs, select Expand All Stacks, and then search for one of these photos by file name.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

"Put" files not showing up on website

I am hoping this is a relatively simple problem I am encountering. I have been given a site (http://urpl.wisc.edu/people/marcouiller/projects/clearinghouse/Tourism%20Resources.htm) to edit using Dreamweaver and many of the links that are listed are linked to nonexistent pages. I am trying to hyperlink these broken links to actual webpages and it was working fine for awhile. During the past couple of days however, after I "put" the changes to the server, the changes are not showing up on the website. The server displays that it was updated at that specific time and date and the preview page shows the correct links when I open it, but nothing changes on my actual site. I have tried clearing my cache and opening the page in different browsers, but still no luck. I have also tried disconnecting and then reconnecting to the host server and simply restarting Dreamweaver, but all to no avail. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem of changes not displaying on my website?
Much thanks!
-Ben

Are you using a Defined Site in DW or just editing individual pages and uploading?
Could you accidentally be loading the files to the wrong folder on the server?
Your site does have quite a few coding errors (64+ on the first page). You should go through the validator to clean those error up, though they likely don't have much to do with the problem at hand, it's still best for cross-browser performance and display to use correct html mark-up.

Not all iTunes Files not showing up on External HDD

My old TC (the flat model from back to 2008 I think it was) broke down the other night so I removed the WD 2.0TB HDD (containing over 30'000 music files) to run this as an external HDD. I had swapped the original 500Gb with a 2TB drive which worked super for a couple of years.
Anyway, before all of this happened all songs showed up on iTunes and each single one could be played correctly from iTunes (without the ! should the file not be found) so all files were located through iTunes to the correct directory. Only one directory for my Music files...
Now, when I connect the HDD through an USB cradle (nothing has been touched on the drive) only a fraction of the files actually show up in the directory which is very odd indeed? I believe it was the same when the thing was actually working but didn't give it a think as it was doing what it was expected to do.
Next step was that I copied the whole HDD over onto my MAC and sizewise all (?) the files came over but still not all are showing...
So, how can I make sure all the files are being included as I want to move them all over to my new 2TB TC?

Thanks Limnos for taking your time with this.
Here's what happened
1) All my Music was stored on a TC 2.0TB WD hard disk which I shared with my partner.
2) All music in iTunes were mapped to this specific location and only this location.
3) When opening the folder on the TC only a fraction of the actual music folders were available to see (i.e. Artist The Wonder Stuff folder was present and in this folder only 2 album folders were found when in fact there should have been 12)
4) All songs in iTunes did play correctly so if i wanted to listen to one of the The Wonder Stuff songs they would all play (even albums that did not show up in the artist folder from above).
5) When clicking show file in finder, the file would show up and then again when going back manually into the folder as above.
6) TC dies on me. No more power.
7) Took out the HDD and put it in a cradle to extract the songs.
8) Right click on the folder shows there are about 35'000 files which sounds right BUT only a fraction of these can be seen.
9) Now I cannot do the show in finder through iTunes as the directory no longer exists (the TC died and I threw it away, except for the HDD).
10) The files are on the HDD but I cannot see but a fraction of them when opening the folder...
I hope this makes it a little more clear.
I honesty do not know what to do as I know the files are there but cannot see them and thus map them in iTunes... :-(
