Backups Not Cataloged

None of the NDMP backups I'm establishing are being cataloged.  The backup transcripts all have this line:
Warning: this backup will not be cataloged; one or more history files are missing!
No file information is available for restoration.  Any ideas?

Sounds like you've got a catalog problem from some previous issue. Best to start a new indices.cur for the client by moving the current one out of the way.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when attempting to backup the catalog

    I just upgraded from version 10 hoping that this problem goes away, but that is not the case. I also changed PCs some months ago and this is my first attempt to backup the catalog using my new PC which has a Windows 8 system.
    Essentially, when I attempt to backup the catalog, Photoshop first prepares the files, and then goes to "calculating media size". It then freezes at the 85% mark. I have tried many solutions as suggested by various commentators & forums. I have uninstalled Photoshop 10 & 11, and reinstalled 11 as an administrator, but that has not helped so far. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I moved the topic from the Photoshop forum to the Elements forum, where you are much more likely to get a response on Elements issues.

  • Catalog backup (only catalog) question

    I have been using PSE 9 on Win7 64-bit for more than a year, but just recently I have started using Organizer.  Actually, I haven't started using it, but I have been experimenting with it using a test catalog that only has about 25 photos in it.  Before I start really using Organizer for all my photos and spend lots of time adding keywords and assigning star ratings to my photos going back years I want to make sure that I will be able to keep all of this work in the future when I change computers or buy a newer version of PSE/Organizer.
    Organizer has a catalog backup/restore function, but it also backs up all the photos, not just the catalog so I won't use it.  I currently have about 500gb of photos (raw from various cameras, jpegs from various cameras, and film scans).  I have 3 complete copies of the photos on 3 1tb external hard disks.  Of course, when I back up the catalog I do not want to also back up all my photos since I carefully back those up already and have 3 copies so I want to only backup the catalog.  The Organizer catalog is stored here:
    All Users: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
    Current User: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
    If I back up the Organizer catalog (the above folder) myself (without using the Organizer backup function) is that all that needs to be done?  For example, I have my photos on an external hard disk and those photos have been imported into Organizer, I add keywords/star ratings, and then I copy the Organizer catalog to a folder on the external hard disk to back it up.  I then replace my computer with a new one.  I install PSE 9/Organizer on the new computer.  I connect the external hard disk and copy the catalog from there to the proper folder on my new conputer.  When I start Organizer on the new computer will it use the catalog and everything will be as it was on the old computer?  I just want to make sure that copying that catalog is all that is required (along with having the photos in the same place on the same external hard disk -- same drive letter as when photos were imported).
    By the way, if I had an extra computer I would try this myself, but I only have the one I am using right now.  I hope someone knows the answer.  Thanks!

    Yes that should work provided you get the files all back in the same structure. People trying that method have had problems with differing file structures e.g. moving from XP (Documents & Settings/My Picture/Folder) compared with Windows 7 (User/Pictures/Folder) but if you are always using an external hard drive, you simply have to make sure the port on the new computer uses the exact same file path.
      If you right click on any thumbnail in organizer and choose show properties you can see the file path for each individual file.
    It could be something like F:\Vacation Photos\IMG_1234.jpg
    So you need to maintain consistency and always keep the external hard drive connected to the same port that corresponds with the drive letter F. Never swap the USB or connector around.
    The file you need to back up is catalog.pse9db
    If you buy a new version of PSE at the same time as a new computer you would need to install PSE9 first, then install the new version and upgrade the catalog.
    P.S. if you are gradually building your organizer catalog it will help in the future if you embed metadata as you go along. I suggest when you import a batch of photos that you tag them and create your albums etc. Then press Ctrl+A to select all and on the top menu click File à Write Keyword & Photo information to files. If for any reason your backup fails you can still import again with all your tags etc intact. it’s a good housekeeping habit to get into.

  • Lightroom 5.5 is not cataloging all images in some folders

    Version:
    Lightroom 5.5 CC 2014
    System:
    Windows Pro 8.1 R2 64 bit
    When I last updated my catalog in Lightroom, I discovered that in at least two folders, Lightroom did not catalog all of the images in the actual folder on my computer. Because of the number of images I have on disk, I don't know how prevalent this problem. I found two folders where only one image was cataloged. One folder had 12 images, the other had over 200 images.
    All of the photos are the same format, both the single cataloged image and the uncatalogued images. The are Pentax RAW format (PEF). As far as I can tell, PEF images are cataloged fine in folders I've checked.
    Solutions tried:
    Reimporting the entire photo collection to capture "new" images. The missing images display in Windows Explorer and in the Lightroom Import window. However, the images say "This appears to be a duplicate of another image," which is not the case. If I right click, the "Import This" option is grayed out, as are the images themselves.
    I've tried syncing the folder.
    I actually deleted my catalog and re-created a new catalog in a different folder with a different name. This time, the missing images in one of the folders imported, but not the other.
    What's the work-around to force an image import?

    Download the Lr 5.2RC from Adobelabs. There was a bug in exporting which is fixed in this release candidate.

    Recently I upgraded to Lightroom 5.0. I have been noticing that when I export images at 1000px max and 100% quality, the image is very grainy. I can open that same image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom, resize the image to 1000px max, and save, and the image looks great. Below is an example. The first photo is the Lightroom 5.0 export. The second is the Photoshop CC resize and save. Does anyone know what the problem is? I never had this issue with any earlier version of Lightroom and I have been using it since version 1.0.

  • Time Machine backup not appear

    Hi
    I bought a bigger HDD for MacBook Pro (so I could install VMs locally) and decided to test TM data restore as a procedure to migrate data. I wanted to keep using my MBP for work, but luckily we have a loan which i used as follows:-
    - Stuck in new 200GB HDD in drive chassis
    - Booted off new HDD via USB on MBP
    - Installed Leopard on new HDD
    - Backed up my MBP to Leopard Server-based Time Machine across network
    - When reached Migration Assistant I chose to restore from TM Backup
    - This then froze. (I guess it doesn't just look across a network for TM Servers)
    So...
    - I rebooted MBP
    - Plugged in external FW drive used for TM backups on Leopard Server
    - Asked Migration Assistant to restore from TM Backup
    - It found the drive but only offered to restore the Leopard Server Backup, not my laptop.
    Have I misunderstood something?
    Cheers
    C

    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select

    from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section? If it's not "Mac OS Extended," Time Machine can't back up the volume.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • Why can't I backup my catalog in PSE6?

    Every time I try to backup my catalog in PSE6 I get the message"The exception unknown software exception (0xc000000d) occurred in the application at location 0x78138aa0." And the programme shuts down.
    There was some suggestion that deleting preferences would help but I couldn't find them! I then uninstalled and re-installed but still the same problem.
    Help please.

    How long have you had PSE6? Is this new behavior? If so what’s changed recently.
    Are you using C; drive or external hdd which sometimes throws up these Windows errors. The messages themselves are only of use to Microsoft developers.
     

  • Latest Time Machine backup not Showing

    Here's what I'm trying to do:
    Swapping out 320 gb had on a 5,1 MacBook Pro to a 500gb hd. I DON'T have an external enclosure.
    I ran another Time Machine backup last night (nov 20) before physically swapping out hard drives ( I do TM backups intermittently). My TM backups are to a FireWire attached external drive, btw, so I get the new drive in the computer, startup while holding Command-R (only works with USB connection I found out) and click on 'restore from the time machine backup'. Under Backups it shows the external drive (we'll call it 'external' )and Time Machine formatted disk image called ''Macbook Pro.tmp' on disk 'external'.
    Selecting the 'MacbookPro.tmp' leads to a dialog box of "the backup cannot be opened: if this is a password-protected backup, you entered an incorrect...." in other words I go back and select the OTHER option of 'external'.
    THIS gives me some time machine options but this is where my question comes in.
    The only options available are from 'August 29' and 'August 23'!  I JUST backed up to Time Machine on November 20! Why is the most recent backup NOT there?
    If I went with the 'August 29' restore will it plug in the incremental backups I've done since then?
    Please advise. I've looked on pondini.org but couldn't find an answer.

    It sounds like you have two sets of backups on that drive.
    Were some backups made over a network (ie, while the drive was connected to a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, or other Mac)?  That's the only way you get a disk image (unless you specifically created one).
    The name "MacbookPro.tmp" sounds like the temporary name Time Machine first creates a disk image with, over a network.   That would also explain why it can't be opened, as TM didn't finish creating it, but that doesn't tell us where the backup you ran on 11/20 went.  Are you sure it completed normally?  No error messages, etc.? 
    Also, did you format the new drive? 

  • HT3275 Time Machine backup not completed  because "the backup disk image ....sparsebundle already in use"

    Reboot the TC.. this is most common issue since Mountain Lion.

    For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

    I have purchased additional icloud storage and now when I try to back up it says. "Last Backup not successful" No reason or additional information.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.

  • When i sync my iphone it says cant backup not enough space on computer there is 140 gig of free space on my computer

    when i sync my ipone is says that "it cant backup not enough space on this computer"  i have 140+ gigs of free space on my mac

    Yea... agreed I had about 160 GB free on my Hard drive and tried to synce my iPhone 5S (currently about 32GB in use of 64) and iit says I don't have enough free space. Uh...yes....yes I do.   So I cleaned up backups in iTunes from my previous phone and moved some large files to my 1TB time capsule...now I have over 200GB Free...and yet...when I try to synce my phone and it moves to the "backup" part...it thinks for a moment...and then says...nope I don't have enough space on my hard drive.  Must be new Apple Math?   I ran diagnostics on my system...ran a full permissions check and cleaned up everything.  Personally..this particular iMac is older. Stuck on 10.6.8 --- I'm thinking it's some sort of 64bit/versus 32bit problem. Still, this should be considered a software defect. Apple needs to create a fix. Alternately... yes...I would like a new iMac, but they aren't free so... if anyone wants to upgrade me I won't turn you down. 

  • Cannot backup the catalog in Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi
    I installed PSE 12 and imported my Pictures catalog. I went to backup the catalog and it won't backup. I follwed the directions and rebuilt the thumbnail cache then  repair and re-index...
    Here is the error message:
    I'm running Win 8.1
    12 gb ram
    Catalog is on my external 2T drive with over 1T available.
    I have 33,000 pic + in 500 g on that 2T hard drive. There is still plenty of room.
    My PSE12 was purchased by me and is licensed.

    Can you please share the entire report from windows error reporting dialog which appears after the app crash?
