2 identical sets of photos in LR4, one set shows as missing but has all keywords attached; photos not missing are missing keywords

I had to move photos and LR4 catalog from one external storage to another. I now have two identical sets of photos in the catalog but one full set is shown as missing. Easy enough to delete these but they have all my hours and hours of work on keywords attached to them. The other set of photos, the one that actually exists on the drive, has no keywords attached. I gotta have those keywords! Is there a way that won't take the rest of my life to get photos and keywords connected again?

Thanks for helping!
Your suggestion didn't work, but it did get me tinkering around and led me to a solution that's not necessarily quick but definitely easier than re-entering all the keywords.
I was smart enough to not have deleted the photos from the thumb drive they were first saved on, so I plugged it back in. Then I went to the folders list in LR and deleted the existing, missing-keyword photos, folder by folder. Then I just dragged the images from the original drive to the the new one. Well, I'm still doing it to 1500 photos but it's working and it saves me lots of work. So thank you for helping me think of the problem and its solution in a different way. I appreciate your time.

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works.

Morning JJFH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If after setting up Home Sharing, you cannot access your shared iTunes library over your home network from your Apple TV, take a look at this article:

Updated to iOS 5 and now photos sent with text message show as sent, but are not received to an iPhone that has not been updated.

Updated to iOS 5 and tried sending a message with a phot to an iPhone that has not been updated. My message shows as sent, but neither the text or photo are received. Text alone works fine.

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

HT201317 Accidently turn off the photo stream on my iPhone. How do I recover all my old photos in the photo stream?

I accidently the. Off photo stream and then when I turn it back on all the old photos were gone. How can I recover my all the previous photos?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days, even though a rolling collecting of up to 1000 photos will stay on your devices until deleted (such as by turning off photo stream). These photos can't be recovered because they are no longer in iCloud. If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them; otherwise there gone.
In the future, to save them permanently, be sure to import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If they aren't in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then they can be imported to your computer.

Set document to be seen one page at a time but print four to a page?

I would like to create a pdf (from a PowerPoint presentation) so that when it is viewed on the web it is seen one page at a time but when it is printed it prints four to a page. It is possible to put that in pdf document settings or do I have to rely on users to make the four to a page choice themselves when they print?

File > Properties > Initial View
You can set the initial view
From the Advanced tab in the Properties you can set some Printing Defaults, but in AA9 Pro, I do not see Tiling as an option. (I believe the powers that be at Adobe thought it best to re-name this feature Banner in AA10. Perhaps it's Poster, I've only seen screen shots of AA10 Print dialog. They've sucessfully dumbed it all down in keeping with Microsoft's current philosophies. Increase font size should soon enough be replaced with "Grow Font")

Hi. I down load all of my pictures to iPhoto. I was removing some even folders to make room, but DID NOT delete any of the ones I needed (and there are a lot of photos as I am a photographer just starting out). All of my photos are gone. ALL of them.

Can anyone help me. All of my photos from iPhoto are gone. There are three weddings that I photographed and may other sessions (I am a brand new photographer and this is going to kill my business). I am so sick to my stomach. I was deleting some even files due to the fact that the start up disk was almost full but DID NOT delete everything. I finished what I was doing and then went to dinner. I came home to do more editing and EVERYTHING is gone. EVERYTHING, but the iphoto program was still there. Is there any chance that these pictures could still be somewhere on the hard drive?
Thank you,
Kari

Did you use the finder to delete any photos that are in iPhoto?
If so you have trashed your library - you choices are to put it back EXACTLY like it was, restore your backup or start over (right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, drag the masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and start importing
NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - ONLY use iPhoto to manage yoru photos

I was sharing same id for 2 phones.i deleted my photo stream my one phone stream of other phone was off wether these photos save in i cloud?? how to delete from both phones

i was sharind my apple id with my sister . i made some photos from my phone after that i deleted them from my stream .my sister,s stream was off.there is no photo on her phone but is that possible these photos might b saved on i cloud?? if so how to delete them

I had my phone replaced by Apple on the 8th February at the Apple centre in Trafford Centre. They asked me if I wanted to download my information from iCloud which I had last saved on the 6th February. The photos that were download were not my photographs. Some of them were of a highly explicit nature of persons (male/female) whom I do not know. The couple in question would be mortified to know I have received their intimate photographs off iCloud. All the photos were deleted and I was told an iCloud representative would get in touch with in a couple of days, which they did not. Since then I have been on to Apple again about a differed matter and they tried to get my original photos back on my phone but again these initiate explicit photos were downloaded to my iPhone. My 13 year old niece has been staying and has used my phone but thankfully did not look at the photos. I have complained to Apple and had no satisfaction and I found their representative Alex de Matos rude and condescending, He also told me this had never happened before, he needs to read this website. I am now going to get in touch with the Trading Standards agency and the Data Protection agency as Apple have violated principle 5.

Photo Stream MB in usage - showing as 760MB but no photos in Photo Stream

I have no photos in my "photo stream" on iphone 5 but in settings > general > usage > photos & camera the Photo Stream usage shows up as 760MB. Why is this showing as 760MB? Shouldn't it be 0MB as there are no photos in the actual Photo Stream?

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

If i turn camera roll off and leave photo stream on and back up to the cloud will all of my photos be back dup on my mac?

If i use icloud to back up my ios devices but turn camera roll off will all of my photos on my ios devices be saved on my mac? they appear to be in iphotos on the mac currently? I want to turn camera roll off from the back up as it is quite large, 19GB.

They will if you have iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher and have Automatic Import checked in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream (iCloud). If you do, your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto events.
You can check by opening iPhoto, selecting photo stream (iCloud) on the left panel, then Control-clicking on you photo stream photos. If the pop-up says "Show in Library", they have been successfully imported to your iPhoto library (Events).
Edit: You can then use Time Machine to back up your iPhoto library.
