Can you use cache from lightroom to restore lost photos

I have somehow deleted pictures from my hard drive and all i have left is the cache folder. There are several .dat files ( 1 gig worth ) in the folder but I can't seem to extract them. Is there any way to extract these .dat files to their original files?

There is 1 gig of data in the irdata folder but there aren't any previews in the catalog.
You know the funny thing is ( well not really funny) but I have 4 hard drives in my computer, 2 external hard drives, one with a 1 tgig and the other with 2 tgig you would think I have enough backup.... well in a matter of a week i moved all my wife's pictures out of the 4 internal hds to the 2 externals and they both crashed so the only pictures we have left are the ones I hard copied onto discs before I got the externals.  Its going to cost around $1200 to recover (if they can) the pictures from One of the external hds. So don't think you are safe with just 1 extra hard drive !!! Make Hard Copies Always!!!!

  • TS3989 Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? How?

    Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? When I try to search in the shared photo stream it goes to search in my photos.

    I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices.  If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices.  To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
    I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos.  It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

  • In pages on apple devices can you use images from google

    In the app pages created by apple when adding pictures to your documents can you get them from google or from the internet or only your photo library on your apple device.

    There's no limit to the number of devices you can sync with one iTunes library. For automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and iTunes Match, the limit is 10 devices, including computers, per Apple ID.

  • Can you use facetime from cellular iPhone to wifi iPad Mini?

    I've noticed I can connect from my iPhone 4S to an iPad Mini when we are both using wifi.
    Howver, I cannot connect to the iPad when I am using cellular only (no wifi) on the iPhone (the iPad is wifi only).
    I can connect to other iPhones when we both use cellular, so I know it's not an issue due to a carrier restriction of my cellular use (Verizon).
    Is there an incompatiblity between using facetime from a cellular device to a wifi-only device? I would have though Apple would have a bridge between internet and cellular data for this.
    Thanks

    This is copied from the Apple iOS features website.
    *FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Sometimes I find the "small print" to be even more confusing, but the way that I interpret this is that you have to go cellular to cellular. Cellular to WiFi doesn't work. It does seem to make sense, if you are sending the "message" or trying to connect over cellular, the person on the other end would need to pick up the "message" via cellular since it was sent that way by you.

  • How can you use music from a different itunes account on the same iphone

    i bought my iphone 4s and had an apple id.  then changed my apple id, but lost my music on my phone. can i keep music on my phone from another apple id, itunes?

    Paid content purchased from the itunes store is always assigned to a single apple id. You will be unable to use the purchased content on another apple id.
    Next time you change your apple id instead of creating an entire new apple id just change the primary email address to the email you would like to use.
    e.g. current apple id is [email protected] but you want to change it. what you do is:
    - go to appleid.apple.com
    - select manage apple id
    - sign in
    From here what you want to do is change/edit your current primary email which in this case is [email protected] Simply select edit and enter the new email you would like as your apple id. Lastly you will be sent a verification email to verify the email addres and TADA your done.

  • Can you use apps from one computer/iTunes accounts on multiple iPhones?

    Hello All!
    I have been using a 3G since they were released on and syncing it to one computer and one iTunes account. My wife now wants an iPhone as well. I know what Apple's policy is on music and video, but what about app sharing. *If the phone is synced with the same computer and uses the same iTunes account (on the iPhone to login), will she be able to free access to all of the applications I have previously downloaded or will she need to pay for all non-free apps?* I couldn't find an answer in the Apple knowledgebase (except for the iPhone software itself, not the 3rd-party App Store apps).
    I would appreciate a quick answer, as we're thinking of picking one up tomorrow. I'd appreciate the help and thanks in advance Happy holidays!
    Jim

    Thanks all! I'm glad to have that answered. Apple said they couldn't answer it! Love those tech/sales support people for iTunes!!!
    Happy Holidays!

  • Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

    Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

    What you can do is use Lightroom Web via your browser on the other computer. You go into your browser and log into your Adobe account at https://lightroom.adobe.com/. You can then:
    use the P, U, X keyboard shortcuts to add pick flags
    use numbers 0-5 to add ratings
    remove photos from collections
    let others see a collection by making it public, sharing to FB etc, giving them the Adobe URL
    add new originals to LrMobile by dragging them from the other computer's folders and dropping them in the browser - the newly uploaded file will be automatically added to your main catalogue. Try this, it's got lots of potential uses.

  • HT5299 Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    No. The Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters only work to connect a Firewire drive to a Thunderbolt port. They do not work in reverse, to connect a Thunderbolt-only drive to a Firewire port. If the only port your drive has is a Thunderbolt port and all you have on the Mac is Firewire, you can't use that drive with that computer.

  • TS4036 My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

    When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

    Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
    These are the preferred network connections, in order:
    Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

    thanks,
    so , now what is the benefit of hyper-v role on essential 2012r2 .  it that means that I can install only one operating system on it only one instance and no more. also I can run some applications on this server  just like you say with RDP licence
    for each user to acces this virtual server!
    and if I want more instances then I have to get datacenter.
