How do I retrieve lightroom database?

Lightroom 3 was shutting down unexpectantly and from an advice at this forum I moved the preferences folder to the desktop (from the library)
the lightroom opened allright but was completely empty, how do I retrieve the database. I couldn´t save catalogues because it always shut down before I could do anything.
Please help, am in dire straits here. need photos that were numbered and processed to work with.

You have to find your most recent catalog. The unexpected shutdown would have prevented LR to write the most recent changes to the catalog but these would be only a few. LR writes changes into the catalog without you having to <save>.
There are two ways to open your most recent catalog:
a) if you know where your catalog is on the hard drive, open LR - it will come up empty - and go >File >Open catalog. Then navigate to your catalog and click on it.
b) If you do not know where your catalog is you have to find it - in Mac Finder or Win Explorer.
The catalog is the file with the ending <... .lrcat>. See here where you will find the catalog for different OS: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84313.html
When you have found the .lrcat file just double-click it and LR will open with it.
LR will rebuild the preference file on its own but you might have to set your preferences again in >Edit >Preferences.
It is generally a good idea to know where LR puts the catalog. Go >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab and this will show you the location - provided that LR has opened with a catalog.
Also, it is a good idea to have a backup catalog. Go >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab and at the bottom select <Every time LR exits>. Next time you close LR the backup dialog will come up that lets you choose a backup location.

How do I retrieve Lightroom access after a power outage?

The power went out while I was uploading RAW files from my memory card to Lightroom 5 and now I'm getting an error message that reads "Lightroom encountered an error while reading from it's preview CACHE and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches." I rebooted the computer twice and I still get this message. I click out of the message and Lightroom closes out so I can't access anything in Lightroom right now. Help please!

How to store images in database and retrieve them back to page?

Well I don't know how to store an image file to a database (say MSSQL) from the JSP and retrieve it back whenever needed and put it on the JSP page? Please help me.

I am not sure how to store images in database but what you can do is store the image into particular folder using FileOutputStream and its unique name into the database...and than retrieve it from the folder using that name retrieved from database...

On a PC, right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on one of the other panel headings such as Tone Curve, Detail, etc. In the context menu that displays, make sure there is a checkmark in Basic. Another quick way to do it is Ctrl->1 or Cmd->1.

How to restore a previous version of lightroom database

I messed up and mistakenly removed an image from lightroom ... is there any way to recover that version of the image that was in the lightroom database via a restore process? I've been backing up the database each time I start the program. Thanks.

If you have now found the mislocated database file the simplest method would be to copy and paste it into the location that you really want it. Once in the new location, double click it and LR will open up (as if by magic) or, alternatively, start up LR and point it to this database location. The image that you then accidently removed from LR should show up in Red in the left hand panel and in addition a thumbnail image of your image will appear in the main window with a question mark in the top right hand corner. Click on this question mark and point LR in the direction of where the image is located. All then will be fine and your image will still have any previous edits applied that were contained in the database. The 'preview' file that you found and mentioned in your post contains as you might have guessed - the image previews. This file can be deleted at any time and LR will rebuild it as and when required.
To prevent this happening in the future, select carefully where you want the database backed up to and LR will then always backup to this location unless you change it - which is what I suspect you may have done accidently last time around, hence database backups in two different places.

I just downloaded Photoshop Lightroom and didn't get the serial number.....how do I retrieve it to register?

Just downloaded the Photoshop Lightromm and didn't get the serial number....how do I retrieve it to register?

Please notice that the "Thank you for your order." page that appears after you complete the online purchase contains the necessary key. If you printed the page or still can view it (perhaps by tracking your order), look in the "Order Summary" table near the bottom where it says "iWork '08 Trial - Serial Number" there is a "Key" below the "Part Number". This key is of the form (at least for mine):
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx
This is what can be entered into Numbers to unlock the trial. You do not need to wait for the email.

My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
Help is appreciated, thank you.

If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there should be some useful links...

IPhoto "Unexpectedly Quit". When I went back in, about the past month's worth of uploaded photos was missing. What happened, and how can I retrieve them?

IPhoto was open, but "unexpectedly quit". When I opened it again a couple days later, my most recent photo uploads (for the past month or so) were missing, with dated Events folders saying "no photos". This had happened another time about a year ago? What happened, and how do I retrieve my photos? I hadn't backed them up, but do they automatically do so on iCloud?

Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to restore a deleted database in Hyperion Strategic Finance (HSF).

I deleted a database from my HSF server and would like to restore in now. Prior to deletion, I had saved the entire database in an external drive. How can I retrieve it will full access?
Thanks.

I am not aware of a way to restore a particular report,
However the reporting environment is built off the file system and the BI Plus database.
You could stop the environment,
Take a current backup of E:\Hyperion\BIPlus\data\RM1_* directory and the BI Plus database,
Recover the directory above and database from last night's backup, start the services
export the report and then reverse the process - stop services, restore current versions that you backed up and start back up...

you should change to request.getParameter("itemType").
or just System.out.print the itemType to see it got the value.
Hope it helps.

CRS Editor - Retrieving Timestamp database field from SQL 2005

Hello -
For the life of me, I cannot retrieve a database timestamp field from SQL 2005.
I have successfully used 'cast(Date as char(30)) as DateStr' to convert to string but the DBRead statement displays the original object only as java.lang.Timestamp. Any posts regarding this topic usually require Java skill sets above my level (creating new java class for import,...).
There has to be an easy way to do this without being a Java programmer, yes?
Any help here would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks

Andy,
I'm guessing you know that this isn't really a date/time value in MS SQL. According to Microsoft:
The Transact-SQL timestamp data type is not the same as the timestamp data type defined in the SQL-92 standard. The SQL-92 timestamp data type is equivalent to the Transact-SQL datetime data type.
But to your question how to get the timestamp value out in a string...You'll want to use the convert function:
select convert(varchar(10),myTimestampField) from myTable
That will return the hex value in the column in a string format. Also, when you retrieve the data, are you looking at the original table (which specifies the column is a timestamp), or did you create a dummy table with the columns named and formatted the way the data will be returned that UCCX can look at for the schema? If it doesn't have the correct schema to look at, you'll have problems.
