How can I get my files back in their proper folders in Windows Explorer?

For over 10 years I have meticulously put my photos in folders according to month, event. So a folder is in directory labeled 2013, with
I've successfully used Adobe Bridge to browse, edit, final edit in Photoshop.
Now I use Lightroom and everything is put into a Lightroom Catalog with weird numbers on the folders and all my pictures have vanished from my carefully created folders on Windows Explorer?
How do I put the pictures back to where they were - short of going to my backup files.
Also since using Lightroom, Photoshop is hanging saying it is waiting for Network I/O threads - so I cannot save (on my own disk - why Photoshop CC should look at the network for every task beats me - I had about 5 threads waiting on the network).
All I'm trying to do is find my best 12 pictures from 2013 to make a Christmas letter and I've already spent a whole evening trying to get this to work.
Is this how Lightroom works, or is it a terrible bug, or is there an option to not move the original files when making a Lightroom catalog?
I am a single user, so don't need sharing, network, workflow.
I only want Lightroom to Point to my files, not to move them. Maybe I should go back to Bridge?

I discovered a wonderful blog that explained:
Lightroom is a database and it holds the pictures
Bridge is a browser that browses files on the disk
I'm getting used to Lightroom, even though I have many pictures because I organize them and only look at recent ones, it does seem that Bridge is better for me - so I am not locked into Adobe's database.
All is clear now - except Photoshop is hanging a bit - maybe graphics driver or memory problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it seems to time out.

How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
One Parallels Virtual Machine
My old mail
My iPhoto Library
I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.
How can I get specific data back from the backup without restoring all stuff that I don't want anymore?
I'm now working on a new account on the fresh system, called 'Admin'. My old account was called 'Hans' (or 'hans') and I'd like to create such an account again for all my tasks.

You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

Deleted and resized bootcamp partition. How can I get my files back?!?!?

So I used a Windows partition for months and decided to switch back to Mac.
I backed up most of my files and then deleted the partition with the Mac Boot Camp Assistant. Then resized it back to 500gb.
I soon realized that there are some very important files which I forgot to backup off the windows partition.
I REALLY need these files back, please tell me there is SOME WAY I can recover those files.
PLEASE HELP!

I accidentally used factory restored and all my files were wiped. How can I get my files back?

My computer kept turning off by itself, so I tried to stop it, and I eventually went as far as to do a factory reset. But I was unaware if what I was doing. Can someone please help me? Or can you tell me how to set my computer back by a week?

Others will read this, and hopefully benefit. Here is a link (example) of the Recovery process. It contains text and a video.
In all respects it's adequate. The warning is stated, and it implores users to backup their files. Sorry you lost your data, but by discussing it openly, maybe someone else will learn a valuable lesson.

I downloaded 4.0.1 and lost all my Yahoo toolbar apps but still have the Yahoo search bar. How can I get the apps back? Refreshing the "gear" does nothing.

I have Windows XP and downloaded Firefox 4.0.1. After it was installed 5/7/11, I noticed all my Yahoo search bar apps were missing. Rebooting did not help. Neither did the "gear" on the toolbar next to the yellow Yahoo search box. Internet Explorer browser still shows them. How can I get the apps back in Firefox?

I have Windows 7, the Yahoo toolbar has been working fine until today now all my apps are missing.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store.

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

How can you get a transport back

I did the following.
I did not have my routes set up in stms
I released some tranports
How can I get these tranports back into any of my systems.
Thanks

Hi Jeremy...
If the transports were released as a workbench request you should be able to find them in the transport directory, that should be <drive>:\usr\sap\<sid>\trans\ you need both the co-file and the data file. the names of the files should be K<number>.<sid> for the cofile and R<number>.<sid> for the datafile
You should configure your transport route properly but if you get this files you can transport manually by copying those files to the transport directory of the destination system and use STMS -> choose import queue -> go to extras -> Other requests -> Add
Hope this help!

I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code. The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again. Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.
