After rebuilding catalogs from back up

due to hard drive crash, all my folders have Question Marks. What's up? What do I need to do?

LR is indicating that it cannot locate the original photos, so you need to restore the original photos. The photos are not in the catalog only info as to where the photos were and the info on edits made. Do you have backups of the image files?

Problems after upgrading catalog from LR4 to LR5

After upgrading a LR 4 catalog to LR5, I moved some files around between sub folders. I then went to sync up the parent folder. The dialog box said that I would be importing 12,000 photos and deleting 12,000 missing photos. My folder structure for a ctalog is a parent folder named for the year and the sub folders with the date and shoot description. I was synchronizing the parent (year) folder. When it finished, the folder structure was correct and the photos were in their new(correct) folders. However, all of my LR4 adjustments that had been made in LR4 were gone. There was no history either. It was like I was importing for the first time.
I upgraded the original catalog again and the photos were in the original locations just like the first time I upgraded. I tried to sync an individual folder and it imported 50 new files and deleted 50 missing files. Again the LR adjustments were gone. Any suggestions on how to sync an upgraded catalog without losing my prior version adjustments?
Mac OS X 10.9.2
LR 5.3

Yes, synchronizing is not the tool you should be using in this case, when you move photos from one folder to another. The proper method is to reconnect your photos in Lightroom after you moved them via: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm. But your current catalog has lost its edit information, so this will not help on your current catalog. So ...
I hope you have a backup of the catalog file before you did the synchronization, or otherwise you will have to upgrade your LR4 catalog again. Open one of those and then reconnect as in the link.
As side advice, perhaps you might want to consider using an organizing technique that does NOT require moving phtoos/folders from here to there. You might want to consider using organizing and searching via keywords and captions and other metadata, which does not require moving photos, and does not require re-linking photos, and gives you the ability to place photos in more than one "category" (keyword), rather than with folders where a photo can be in at most one "category" (folder)

Missing albums after converting catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 7

Images converted with no problem but all albums are missing from the album list. is their another step or process in converting the albums?
thanks

I lost my primary hard drive where PSE 6 and all picture files were stored but fortunately had it backed up on a web service backup.
Upon attemptint to reinstall PSE 6 to my new replacement hard drive (same PC as original) I could not find the exe file to get PSE 6 to launch and grew aggravated. I then downloaded the free trial of PSE 7 instead and :
1) imported my 11K pictures directly in to PSE7 with no issue except that the album info was not present
2) in an attempt to get the album info I then converted my PSE6 catalog file .psa to a PSE7 catalog but the album info did not come across
What can I do to either get my album info in PSE7 or going back to the root of the problem reinstall PSE6 and get it to launch?
Again I never could find the exe file to get my backup copy of PSE 6 to launch
Thanks

Time Machine not backing up after full restore from back up.

Problems started after I restored my Mac Pro from a TM back up.
Mac Pro has 1TB of storage and used less 500 GB (414.1 GB), so
I used a partitioned 1TB ext HD 500/500, and used one partition for
the Mac Pro and backed up properly before the full restore, since I used
less than 500 of the 1TB.
After the restore my TM failed to back up because it required approx 800 GB.
So I thought my old OS must still be on the internal or some type of duplicate
so I erased the free space at the most slowest speed, 10 hrs later sure enough
I reduced everything to 414.1 GB.
So I attempted to back up to my 500 GB TM with no success, says I still need
1.75 TB.
I Tried reformatting and renaming my ext TM back up HD with the same partition
set up. I even update my OS to mavericks.
Any new ideas out there?

I dont remember if I hit inherit.
TM started working after I reformatted it, but stopped backing up.
I have 500 GB drive i'm using so its more than enough space.
Since my 1 TB internal HD is only using 389 GB.
The back up that I have now is from this 1 TB HD.

Iphoto will not open after re-install from back up disk

iphoto gave me an error that it didnt work with the current MAC OS (I have 10.6.8). I followed instructions to re-install iphoto from the back up application disk and now it say I can't open iphoto without a software update. I check and all the software is currently up to date. What is my next step?

OK - a few questions.
What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're not sure, go to your Applications folder, click ONCE on iPhoto to highlight it, then click cmd-i to open the information window. The version number will be in the General tab, towards the top. (eg version 7).
What instructions did you follow, and what kind of backup disk are you talking about? The original iLife CD? A Time Machine drive? Something else?
If you do in fact have a particularly old version of iPhoto, it might well make sense just to get the latest version from the App Store, which is certainly compatible with 10.6.

Can't sync music to iphone after a restore from back up

I Recently backed up my itunes library to external hard drive to move it to a new PC. Now on my new PC I have the album files showing in my itunes folder but when I click on them they are showing empty so I though I had lost all my music. However when I opened itunes it searched my PC and restores my library as it was before. The problem now is I cannot update any songs on my iphone it is still showing what I had installed on it before I done the backup. I have us synced music in itunes and when I connect my iphone it is showing no music on it and about 8 gb free but when I look at my phone the music is still there and it is only showing about 500mb free on there?

ReImport Failure after Photos Disappear from Catalog in 2.1

Mac OS (Tiger). Lightroom 2.1. Several photos disappeared from my catalog. They are visible in Bridge. I tried to do an import from disk to get them back by selecting the missing picture in the import dialog and then clicking import. After clicking import I get a message that the file won't be imported because it is already in the catalog (even though it is not visible). If I then select the name of the file in the "will not be imported list" and click on the "show in library" button I am taken to a picture other than the one I selected for import.
I have been able to re-import the images by renaming them outside Lightrom, and doing an import from disk. Once the images are inside lightroom I can rename them to their original name. At that point I get a message saying that the file can't be renamed, and Lightroom then proceeds to rename the file to its original name.
This is making me very nervous about the integrity of the catalog in 2.1. I don't know if this is a 2.1 problem or a 2.0 problem because I noticed the missing images weeks after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1.
So far I have noticed only two images that can't be seen in the library module and can't be reimported (unless they are renamed outside Lightroom).
Any suggestions?

I have disabled Library filters and the problem persists. Also, I have seen the same problem on two different computers under both Tiger and Leopard, Apparently, the disappearing images only disappear AFTER an editt and same in Photoshop.

Messages disappeared from my Inbox after Rebuilding

Hi,
I accidentally clicked on "Rebuild" in Mail and messages of the last 3 months have disappeared from my Inbox. However, they are still there in the Mail folder on the hard disk. How do I make them reappear in my Inbox?? Help!!

I had the same problem, after rebuilding, the Inbox was empty. I tried all the fixes I found here and on the forum numerous times with no luck. I was able to recover most email using a Time Machine restore, but the Inbox still was not accepting any new mail. Finally, realizing that my MobileMe mail server was fine, and that Mail continued to work on my iPod, I opened my Mail preferences and deleted my MobileMe account from the machine, and then added it back, configured exactly as it was before. Bingo! Everything is back to normal.

Refresh table and display the records after insertion of data from back end

Hi Experts,
JDEV 11.1.2.1
I have a useacase which needs data to be inserted from oracle back end procedure and displayed in a ADF Table Component, when a button is pressed.
is this possible?..if yes , how?
Is view object will automatically refreshed and fetches newly created(from back end) rows?
thankz in advance

Hi user707,
thankz for ur reply....
i think after executing a procedure you want to call commit operation. better you can perform this.getDbtransaction().commit In Application Module;yes i want to commit transaction after executing back end procedure using preparedStatement.Procedure is for inserting data into same table , which used for creating VO and Read only ADF Table.Procedure is executed fine, but newly created records are not getting into ADF table.Once i did commit opeartion inside back end procedure, whole records are getting into ADF Table.
Is there any way to get whole records without doing Commit operation inside Back end procedure?

How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
* also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on
*see [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

I recently restored my iPhone 4s from back-up after being reset. An app that I had turned off in back-up did not show up in my recent resoration. I forgot to turn that app back on. Would there be any way I would be able to get the data from that app?

I hope this will help you with your problem:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

How do i get my old firefox profile back after uninstalling it from my computer

I uninstalled firefox by accident because I was on another user account on my laptop and I didn't realize that it would uninstall it from my programs. how do I get all my bookmarks back after reinstalling firefox from scratch?

You will have to do this the hard way.
Open the file browser / explorer on your computer.
Depending on your system, you need to find this folder;
'''C:\Users\'''=<User Name>='''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles'''
The profile with the newest date should be the new profile. Look for the
profile with the next newest date. That is likely the one you are looking for.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

IMessage won't work/isn't up-to-date on iPhone 6 after restore from back-up

So I have been trying to set up my new iPhone 6 since Tuesday and I am at my wit's end. I have been an Apple user for years and am usually good at fixing issues myself.
BACKGROUND: With my iPhone 5, I was having an issue with bookmarks not syncing "Bookmarks could not by synced because the iPhone cancelled the sync" starting shortly after I updated to iOS 7. I had incorrectly assumed the issue would be corrected with a subsequent update, but that never happened.
iPhone 6:
When I first set it up, I did from the last back-up from my iPhone 5, however it somehow did not complete. I initially thought I'd lost my 2700 pictures that were on the 5 as only 500 showed in the 'Recently Added', however iPhoto (on MacBook Pro) detected all 2700 on the phone even though they weren't showing, so I successfully imported them from the 6. When I went to sync the 6, it gave me the same bookmark error. I tried turning off hard sync and syncing through iCloud but nothing happened (I have never synced from iCloud as when I first tried to set it up after it was created, it created duplicates of ALL of my information and I just never had the time to mess with it. I figure if the hard back-up works, that's all I need.
That being said, I did NOT intend on having a brand new phone with the same error, so I did a FULL RESTORE and set it up as a NEW IPHONE. Everything worked seemlessly including my iMessage, however it did not have any of my old messages or recent calls which I thought was strange if that information is associated to my Mac/iTunes account. I thought the Game Center would have saved most of my info from my games, but when I saw I didn't have any of my info from my Lists app, games, and other settings and passwords, I decided I would try a different way.
So I removed unnecessary apps with no info, photos, and music from my 5, synced and backed it up, updated to iOS 8, backed THAT up, and then did a RESTORE FROM BACK-UP on the new iPhone 6 from that latest back-up. Despite that, I have discovered that the messages and recent call list that DO appear on the phone only go through MARCH of this year... I am so confused as to how the most recent back-up would have only backed up info from March... My games data is up-to-date.
I THOUGHT everything was working with the exception of STILL having the same BOOKMARK SYNC ERROR, but I just discovered that my testing/iMessage does not work at all. I go to send a message, and it just shows the blue bar loaded 3/4 of the way, and never delivers the message. My boyfriend confirmed that he cannot send me messages either, which makes no sense because the phone was set up under the same phone number and emails as my iPhone 5 was. I really don't have the time and/or patience to go into Apple, but after spending ALL day yesterday trying to re-set up the phone thinking everything worked, I am quite exasperated. I have been using Apple products all my life, and I have NEVER had this much trouble.
I never had any significant software issues until iOS 7, and the fact that they are still ongoing is quite ridiculous. It's getting harder and harder to defend Apple and their quality products if they don't kick it into high gear and fix these glitches!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I did some reading on how iBackUpBot is supposed to fix the bookmark syncing issue, but it seems a bit technical. Perhaps clearer instructions would be helpful.

Well, right now, Apple is getting loads of people who are trying to download the new update. My iPod is doing the same thing, so, just wait an hour or two and then try again. It may take a while to veryify the update, and even longer to actually download it. Some people at my school updated their OS in study hall, while others were having the same problem you were. It should be fixed soon, just relax...
