All my collections are gone!

I had a catalogue with 4 or 5 collections filled with pictures in each with stars and color filters. I just went to go open my collections to export the pictures and all my collections are gone and I did not click any thing to reset or delete anything. Only a small portion of the pictures have a star rating but none of them have a color filter. Please help me asap!

Are there no adjustments in History, for the ones w/o any star ratings, just the import line and nothing else?
Check to see if you have opened a backup catalog:
Find out where the current catalog is opened from:
LR -> Edit -> Catalog Settings… -> General (tab)
What are the Location and File Name shown on the General tab?
Then lower down on the General tab, make note of the value of the “Back up catalog” setting then change it to When Lightroom next exits, then exit LR and look where the backup location is as it prompts you to confirm the backup, then skip the backup.
Then go back in to LR and change the backup preference to what you want it to be if it’s not already that.

  • I just updated the new iTunes and now all my playlists are gone!! What the heck?!

    All my playlist are gone from itunes with the new update. If I click on "sync" it asks me to erase all my music and videos... Is there a way to avoid doing this? Thanks.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    In the unlikely event that your media has been wiped from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened?

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
    Try rebuilding the library.

  • After an automatic upgrade, all my bookmarks are gone, none of the troubleshooting answers help - how do I get them back?

    I just simply turned on my computer and clicked FireFox as always. Looks like some updates installed and now all my bookmarks are gone. I've looked at all related troubleshooting answers and nothing works. How do i get my bookmarks back?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.

    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

    I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

  • I had to restore my iPhone 4 and now all my pictures are gone. I don't have them backed up to my laptop, and I thought that they automatically backed up to iCloud but I'm not sure. I had a lot of pictures that i desperately want to get back PLEASE HELP

    You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Nothing should only be on your iphone.  You should keep everything on your computer.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

    Hey kaylactm,
    Thanks for the question. I understand how frustrating this may be. To resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your device in recovery-mode:

  • When launching safari all my tabs are gone ?

    sometimes when launching safari all my tabs are gone ? why ???
    and secondly why i have to relogin in this apple discussion  every time i turn off my computer ?

    Another way would be to open System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application". This applies to all applications."
    DONT SEE THAT OPTION IN MY SAFARI PREFERENCE ???
    "Another way is to open Safari menu > Preferences > General, and you will see an option that allows you to open Safari with the tabs opened."
