Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help!  What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta.  I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names.  I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process.  Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them.  Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem.  Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

  • Downloaded a file from safari on iphone 4 and now can't find it

    Help please?

    Without jailbreaking, there is no way to explore your phone's file contents on your actual iPhone.
    If you hook up to a computer, you may be able to use a program like iExplorer and find the file somewhere in there. But if you aren't jailbroken, you won't get root access, which may cause problems.
    I'd probably just bookmark whatever page you found it on and e-mail it to yourself so you can download it on the computer. Easiest method.

  • Copied files to USB HDD - now can't find them!

    I had to reinstall my wife's macbook so I backed up all her files to a USB HDD formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) [according to disk utility]
    I then reinstalled and tried to find the files which do not show up on the USB HDD (shoulda checked!)
    I've seen posts alluding to having the drive formatted Journalised but they all refer to having done that FIRST.
    Are my files history? Is there any way to get them back? Help!

  • Own OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. MSOffice 2004 was taken out because of computer repair and now can't find disc to reinstall. But WANT the Office 2004, not Office 2011. Where can I find one and are all Officew 2004 the same

    I own a OSX 10.6.8. IMAC with Snow Leopard. my MSWORD Office 2004 was taken off when computer was repaired and now can't find the disc to reinstall. Do not want the Office2011.. Where do I find the Office 2004 and are all Office 2004 choices the smae.

    Hi Martha - Amazon offers office 2004 on their website.
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2004-Standard-VERSION/dp/B0001WN0M2
    That will be your best bet if you want to have office 2004 on your computer. Also, there are some different versions want to come to office. The link above gives you the standard version, but there's also the professional version. Now it sounds like that you do not want to upgrade to the latest office because you're most likely comfortable with how 2004 works. So in that case I would not spend the extra money and pay for the professional version unless you really need it. I see on the website there that if you buy a used copy it will only cost you around $10.
    Hope this helps!

    You should ALWAYS make sure that everything is on your computer and backed up, most especially before any update. The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    If you have failed to do this, then you need to redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Ok  so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library

    ok so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library anywhere i can find them in my account under purchaces

    Can you give a few more details on what you're seeing and not seeing?
    Can you see the songs listed in iTunes?  With the sidebar enabled (CTRL-S in iTunes 11 if you can't see it) do your see your purchased songs listed if you select Purchased under STORE?  Something like this:
    If you see a list like this, right-click on one of the songs and select Get Info / Summary tab.  It should show the location of the file containing the song:
    (the default location will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name).  I'm assuming that you're not seeing this, since anything that's under Purchased should also be in your main library (Music under LIBRARY at the top of the sidebar) and you should be able to copy it into playlists, etc.
    If you don't see this, can you find the music files on your computer?  Again, the files should be under C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name if you're following iTunes defaults and allowing it to organize your library.  Even if that's not the case you can run Windows Explorer and search your whole computer, using the name of the song or just *.m4a as the search string.  If you can find the music files but they are not listed in iTunes, you can re-import your songs into iTunes (File > Add file to Library ... or File > Add Folder to Library ...).
    If you still can't find them, either in iTunes or on the computer, you may still have two options.  The first would apply if you have the songs on an iPod or iPhone, the second would be to re-download (not re-purchase) from the iTunes store.  You'll find tutorials in these forums for both cases.  At the end of the day, though, you're encountering a problem that would be more readily addressed if you'd been maintaining a regular backup of your iTunes library.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes?   Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere.  Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

    I rented a movie and now can't find it. I was also charged for the movie? where is it?

    What did you download it on ? If a computer's iTunes then do you have a 'rentals' tab in the Movies part of your library ? If on an iOS device then it should be in the Videos app (if it's not showing there then have you got a film age rating set in Restrictions that is hiding it ?).

  • HT201306 i downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...where did it go?

    I downloaded an itunes audio book and now can't find it anywhere...not in iTunes, not in iBooks...where did it go?

    I had similar troubles on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) with some audiobooks. Tried redownloading, reported problems, etc.  nothing worked. Even more confusing, I could 'see' it in the On This IPhone in iTunes, but couldn't even see the audiobooks button in iTunes (on the phone). 
    I ended up searching for it by name, from my iPhone home screen (by swiping down, it may be called spotlight?), and where it reads 'Search this iPhone', I just started typing the name of the book, and there it was.
    Not the most elegant solution, but so far all three of the books that I've bought are there.
