Help! HD was destroyed but LR previews were not

I'm reorganizing huge numbers of files on several drives preparing to move from a very old Mac Pro to a new Mac Pro. Somehow, the HD with all the current raw photos was reformatted, apparently by me. I will kick myself 'til the day I die. The camera card had already been reformatted as a matter of routine. There was however a data disk backup from 4/11/09, meaning everything was recovered except two shoots on 4/12/09 (316 photos). My startup drive and the LR catalog (version 1.4.1) on my startup drive were not damaged. My LR catalog settings specified a standard preview of 1440 pixels, medium quality, with automatic discard of 1:1 previews AFTER 30 DAYS. In my ~/Pictures/Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata package (folder) there are lots and lots of files, some of them several MB in size.
I know it won't be the same as my original raw files, but is there a way to harvest the largest preview files, so I at least have something to show for my work on 4/12? These files all seem to have an extension of ".lr-preview.noindex". I tried to forcibly open a few as JPEG files with no luck. Any guidance would be much, much appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry to here you have this problem. First question from me, how come no other back-up?
You want LRViewer from Marc Rochkind.

  • IDoc was saved but cannot or should not be sent

    Hi,
    I am in we19
    While sending an outbound IDOC, I am getting the status as "IDoc was saved but cannot or should not be sent".
    Kindly help.

    hi,
    >>>While sending an outbound IDOC, I am getting the status as "IDoc was saved but cannot or should not be sent".
    there can be 2 reasons for that:
    either you didn't set We20 correctly
    or the IDoc has a wrong structure
    check out those two and it will work
    my book can always help with those:

    Reinstalling OS X does not erase your files.

  • I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • IDoc 0000000000181226 was saved but cannot or should not be sent

    Hi,
    when i am sending idoc from ecc to pi using we19 this message shown:
    IDoc 0000000000181226 was saved but cannot or should not be sent
    in sm58  Trfc error status is
    EDISDEF: Port SAPDSD segment defn E2WRF1M002 in ID oc type DEBMAS06 CIM ty
    This scenario is working fine few days ago but from today it is not working.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Mohit

    Make sure that the sender partner and receiver partner values corrrespond to the logical system names you have used in your partner profile in we20. Sender Partner Name should be your R/3 logical system name, and Receiver Partner Name should be the Logical System name for which you have created an Outbound Entry in We20.The Sender port and receiver port also should be the one created in We21 for XI, and SAP+"SYSID" for R3
    after completing the we19 ,if you click on oubound , you got the error that IDoc saved but not pushed right,
    see first check partner profile is properly configured or not for outbound IDoc type,
    next check distribution model is configured or not .check port also.
    every thing configured correct, then use se38 and run the program RBDMOIND.
    Thanks,

  • I updated to 6. In Tools, blocked cookies and now can never open Firefox. The allow cookies window is stuck. How do I get rid of the firefox browser and go back to 5. I did have malware on computer that was removed, but still ...not working

    On Saturday, Sept. 3, I updated to Mozilla Firefox 6. I went into the Toolbar, I think to private browsing, but not sure now. I asked that all cookies be blocked. A window came up from my home page that said "Allow, Allow this session only, Deny Cookies." I said Deny and it told me 19 cookies were being blocked. I have never been able to get the window to leave the browser home page. In fact, I can not make any choice in that window. The window kind of shakes. I went for professional help and did have malware that I had not known was there that was removed. Technician worked 3 hours. It was called "PUM.Hijack.Start." The Mozilla browser is still stuck like that. I am on Internet Explorer, but I would like to have Firefox back again. What steps do I take next?

    I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
    Latest revision of firefox.
    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
    I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

  • Tech Help....Cannot finish previewing, could not complete requested operations

    Help Please.  I am running illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
    While working on Illustrator files, drawing, saving and opening/closing files over a perior of time, I suddenly get this message "Cannot finish previewing could not complete the requested operation."
    When this happens, the screen goes into Outline Mode, sometimes it allows me to save, other times it crashes CS4 Illustrator.
    This is resolved by restarting the computer and relaunching illustrator.  I have not had any problem at the launch of the application.
    Please help!  This is now happening multiple times per day.
