Current catalog is a backup catalog, is this a problem??

Not sure how this happened but the catalog that I am currently downloading pictures to is a backup catalog.
I think that I opened a back up catalog and then the next time I opened lightroom it opened the backup and did
not realize I was in a backup catalog and continued to download pictures. By the way, I have lightroom 3.4.1.
I have transfered lightroom catalog and all pictures to external hard drive with backup to a second hard drive and
everything is there, but my catalog location is users/butler/pictures/lightroom/backup/2011-05-21 1935.
If I open my main lightroom catalog it is missing tons of pictures but the backup file has everything. 
Is this a problem and if so how do I fix it?? PLEASE HELP, frustrated and confused!!
Thanks, debbutler

Yes, you have a potential problem when your working catalog is also the backup catalog. The problem is that now you don't have a backup.
You have to make sure that the locations for the working catalog and the backup catalog are NOT identical.
The location of your working catalog is displayed in > Edit >Catalog Settings >General Tab.
The location of your backup catalog is displayed in the backup dialog that comes up when you close LR ; to make sure that the backup dialog appears select <Every Time LR Exits> in >Catalog Settings >General Tab.
I've had this problem and solved it as follows:
In your backup catalog select the location where your working catalog should be and make the backup. After this you have 2 identical catalogs in 2 different locations. In your OS (with LR still closed) navigate to the just created working catalog and double-click it. LR opens then with this catalog.
Don't forget that next time LR closes and the backup dialog comes up you have to change the backup location to where the backup should be.
Alternate procedure: In the Library Module (Grid Mode) >Catalog Panel select <All Photographs> or whatever the name of your main catalog is.
Select >File >Export as Catalog and select the location where your main catalog should be.
To prevent the problem from happening it is worthwile to ckeck occasionally in >Catalog Settings >General Tab that the working catalog is where it should be; and also to ckeck the location of the backup in the backup catalog.

  • How do I maintain the configuration of my current Catalog in PSE9 when moving it to a new computer?

    While the Version Sets in my current catalog are collapsed, the version sets in the Catalog on the new computer have all become 'expanded'; this is unacceptable to me, as many of the pairs that are stacked as Version Sets have become separated.  While all of the Version Sets are "tagged", it looks as though many of the photos in the expanded sets are without tags.  Problem #2 is that the hierarchy of Keyword Tags that I currently use is lost when the Catalog is restored in the new computer's Organizer.  I currently use about 500 Keyword Tags, divided into 6 categories (i.e. People, Places, Locations, Events, Other, Bird Species).  On the new computer, the tags are alphabetized without being separated into their 6 categories.  I currently have close to 30,000 items in my Catalog, and have spent hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours editing (and saving both the original and  edited files as  Version Sets), tagging and captioning all of my photos.  I followed the instructions previously published in "Photoshop Elements Help" regarding backup to an external hard drive and restoring the files in an empty Organizer on the new computer.  I also used the "Save Keyword Tags To File" command before the backup.  Any suggestions to remedy my two major problems would be appreciated.  I do have the intact "current" Catalog on my old computer, complete with tags and captions, collapsed version sets, and a list of Keyword Tags organized in the Hierarchy that has worked best for me.

    Hi,
    The version set information and the tag hierarchy are stored within the catalog. It sounds as though you haven't brought over the catalog from your old computer.
    The recommended way to transfer elements from one computer to a new one is to use the Backup catalog to CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your old system and then use Restore catalog from CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your new system. Is this how you did it?
    That should have preserved your version sets.

  • Move all pictures of current catalog to different drive and folder

    The drive I use today is getting to small for more pictures in the future.
    I want to move all my pictures of the current catalog to a new drive (different drive letter) and new file folder structure (directory name).
    How can I do this in the easiest way in Lightroom 1.4.1 and WinXP?
    Thanks for help, Thomas

    Launch LR by double clicking the .lrcat file on the external. That registers that catalog. You can choose in Prefs to always launch with that catalog. Another thing you might do after ascertaining that all folders were copied over is delete the image files on the internal, but not the the .lrcat and Previews file. That way, you'll still have the use of the previews on the internal, but save huge space by the deleting of the image files there.
    Don't forget a backup scheme that encompasses the external!

  • Split current catalog into more than one?

    I have entirely too many pictures in one PSE6 catalog.  Can I split this current catalog into more than one catalog?  If so, what is the easiest way to do so?  Thank you.

    How many photos do you have?  PSE can handle a very large number, if you have then well organised.

  • How does installation of CC Photoshop and Lightroom affect my current catalogs, previews, and caches?

    I am going to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan. How can I preserve (import?) and use my current catalogs, previews, and caches from my current installation of Lightroom? Or will I have to start over once the new version of Lightroom CC is installed?

    If you are currently using Lightroom 5 then switching over to the creative cloud is really simple. There are some who say that it isn't necessary to switch to Lightroom downloaded from the creative cloud. But I did. I'm using Windows, so I used the standard uninstall process to uninstall my standalone Lightroom. Then I installed Lightroom from the creative cloud. After the installation was complete there was an icon for Lightroom (just like the previous one because it is the same program) on my desktop. I double clicked on the icon and Lightroom opened the same catalog that I had been using and everything that I had done previously was still in place. You see, the catalog and previews and all those other files are user files generated by Lightroom on your computer. But they aren't part of the Lightroom program. So removing the Lightroom program does nothing to your catalog or previews or preview cache. It's the same program precisely. It's just licensed differently.
    If you have been using Lightroom 4 then Lightroom 5 will find the catalog you have been using and will prompt you to allow it to create an updated copy of it that conforms to the new database format. It's no different than upgrading the standalone version. So the short answer is that you shouldn't lose any of your work by switching over.

  • Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file?

    Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file? How far can I recover this database?
    I have an Oracle 10g(10.2.3) database on RHEL4.3 system.
    I have lost all the current control files and all the online redo logs, archived redo logs and all other files are OK.
    Now I have to recovery this database using a backup control file.
    Can I recover the database without any data lost?

    If
    a) it was a Shutdown Abort or an Instance Crash (i.e. backgrounds died on detecting loss of redo logs),
    b) redo logs are lost
    c) data files are intact
    You'd have to
    a) Restore datafiles
    b) Do an Incomplete Recovery to the last available ArchiveLog

  • All my bookmarks lost their URLs. Then trying to restore from backup failed with "unable to process the backup file". This is Firefox 10 beta channel. Anyone have a solution?

    At first, the bookmark list included all my bookmarks, but they had an empty box for their icon, and clicking on the properties window showed no name or URL. Clicking on the bookmark itself was just ignored. I went to restore bookmarks from a backup - backups are listed for each day, but choosing any one gives an error. This has also wiped out the list of bookmarks.

    There may now not be much that can be done. Immediately find your current profile the easiest way of doing that is using
    * Help -> Troubleshooting -> Profile [open containing folder]
    Copy the whole profile folder with all sub files and folders and put it somewhere safe, outside Firefox program or Profile paths (Windows desktop is a suitable location)
    Once you have done that it is also worth exporting any bookmarks you have as a backup, do it as firefox backup, and HTML, it is just possible they may contain usefull info in an easily accessble form.
    If the bookmarks were somehow corrupted, and then you have overwritten current bookmarks with corrupt backups there may not be much that can be done,but if you copy the profile as I mentioned above at least we still have the files and can see if anything is rescueable. There is also a possibility the files are okand the fault is with firefox,but that may be less likely.
    * see also [[Lost Bookmarks]]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

  • My iPad 3 has completely frozen up.  2 identical messages appear on the screen: "iCloud Backup  This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."

    I am a novice user of an iPad3.  My iPad is currently frozen.  The only things appearing on the screen are two identical message boxes:
    "iCloud Backup
    This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
    Please help me figure out how to get this resolved, as the device is now totally immobilized.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Unable to use Datasource.cfc in Admin API - The current user is not authorized to invoke this method

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having some issues accessing the methods in the datasource.cfc in the adminAPI.
    I can successfully load the administrator CFC and am told that I have successsfuly logged in;
    But when I try to subsequently load the datasource.cfc I get an error that the current user is unable to access the method.
    /* Create an Admin API object and call the login method */
                                                      var local = {};
                                                      local.adminObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.administrator");
                                                      /* Enter your password for the CF Admin */
      /* if you dump this - TRUE is returned */
                                                      local.adminObj.login(adminPassword="my_admin_user_password");
                                                      /* Create an object of datasource component */
                                                      local.dsnObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.datasource");
      writeDump(local.dsnObj.getDataSources());
    I tried creating separate admin users and passwords - yhinking that perhaps a revent hotfix had stopped the "admin" user from being allowed to use the adminAPI - but changing to a new adminuser yielded the same results.
    I could login to the admin API with the new username and passsword - but could not access the datasource.cfc after that.
    Here is the debug output from the error...
    The current user is not authorized to invoke this method.

    and I agree I don't have "E" drive either!

    I've found a solution to my plight - I don't know if it'll work for you or help you try something that MAY fix it.
    I use a common code set which includes the Application.cfc from a CF Mapping - So, in the application.cfc in the actual website I do this:-
    <cfinclude template="/UberDirectory/Application.cfc">
    Then, in the /UberDirectory/Application.cfc, I was initialising a CFC which checks if the datasource was created for the website. The datasource checking code attempts to log into the Admin API and check & create if necessary the datasource.
    This has previously worked without fail for me - But in this instance it failed!! I was doing two things wrong - Firstly, the CFC should only be called in the Application.cfc in the onRequestStart section as the Application had to be initialised first - This is maybe because I've invoked the application.cfc in a "non-standard" manner.
    Secondly, once I'd moved the CFC invocation into oNRequestStart I saw the following error:-
    The string COOKIE.CFAUTHORIZATION_uber-directory is not a valid ColdFusion variable name.
    I had this as the app name .... <cfset this.name = 'uber-directory'>
    Changedthe dash to an underscore and I was away and could once again check the datasources
    Hope it helps

    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
