An existing folder doesn't appear in the library

I don't see an existing folder in my library. I try to import photos into lightroom, but it indicates that they are already imported and they supposedly exist in a particular folder. However, that folder is not showing in my library. Is there a way to correct this? The photo is there but they only way I can see it is to search for it and it will appear.

I don't mean to butt in (DJ Paige is quite competent..), but it's starting to sound to me like your catalog is a-wonk (a tad fouled up..).
You didn't rename the folder outside Lr and change (just the) case, did you? - that can confuse the bee-geebers out of Lightroom (catalog is case-sensitive, sorta/mostly, but disk is not, at all).
I mean, you can always try deleting preferences (.agprefs file in with presets) and see if it helps, but if not, I dunno - maybe somebody else will be more help.
How far back do you have to go for a backup catalog which isn't so wonked?

My main concern is that it may happen to one of my larger folders with many photos.
Has it ever happened before?

I should mention that I am using LR 3.6.
Another thing to try: try upgrading the catalog using Lr5 and see if you still have the problem. Might even be a good excuse for an Lr upgrade .
Cheers, and good luck,

Want to remove a podcast that shows on the ipod itself but doesn't appear in the library under itunes

I have a podcats on my ipod touch that doesn't appear in the podcast library that I want to remove. Deleting all the podcasts & replacing them with new podcasts doesn't help. Any ideas?

Hi
Go to the apple.com to download the latest iTunes and ipod updater and install accorindingly, then do a Reset of your iPod i.e. Press "Menu"+"Select" keys. Connect it with your iBook and open iPod updater, hope it will allow you to do a Restore. If failed, then press "Select"+"Play" keys to put your iPod in Disk Mode, connect it back with your iBook, open the iTunes and you will able to see your iPod there. Then open the ipod updater and do a restore. You may need to do a few attempts in order to achieve the solution

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

I just updated to Firefox 4 and my Roboform toolbar disappeared. Following the instructions on your site and Roboform's site did not help. It doesn't appear in the Customize Toolbar window nor in the Extensions list. How can I get it back?

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

After upgrading to IOS 5, the edit button doesn't appear in the CONTACTS

After upgrading to IOS 5, the edit button doesn't appear in the CONTACTS. Any idea, why?

If you have a gmail, yahoo, or even icloud etc. account go into settings>mail, contacts and make sure you're not syncing through yahoo for example.. Turn that off, if that still doesn't work delete the yahoo account and simply set up the account again..will add the + & edit functions again..

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

External mass storage device doesn't appear in the finder

When I plug either my camera or my iPhone into the USB port I get a message saying 'no camers was found' and the device doesn't appear in the finder. I can see the phone in iTunes and the camera in its own Canon software, but I can't access the device and manage the files via finder. Getting annoying, have to delete stuff off the camera manually one file at a time. Why don't these devices show up in finder? Using Macbook Pro running Lion, iPhone 4 with iOS5, Canon IXUS 100 IS.

Badunit, thanks for your reply. I just went into Mail/Preferences/Accounts, "full name" field is filled correctly with my name. This happens to only certain recipients, and not every emails. Sometimes my name shows and sometime it doesn't show. And this only started to occur recently.

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1. How do I install it?

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1 and I can't find the icon in the customize menu. It just seems to have disappeared. I would also like words under the menu icons. Also the reload icon can't be moved or customized.

The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

Hello L Swarz,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:
