How to fix 'missing files' in Lightroom 4? [was: adobe lightroom 4]

Hi,
I have the scenario whereby all the images, I assumed, on my hard drive were as I imported to my  catalogue.  but it now appears that all of my images, are showing as previews but some are showing as 'missing files'.  Attempts to reconnect are proving futile as the usual click on and find previous file location location point me to the 'c' drive with a request for the file name.  On doing this, the 'C' drive doesn't appear to the have file name I require.  Have I in-advertately scrubbed something?  I have a lot of images of my grandkids, some of which I can delete but there is one particular image of my premature born grandaughter in the hospital I really need to keep.
I can't do any saving, moving of files whilst these question marks are in place, can someone help as this software, is not as user friendly as I first assumed.  All I want is a simple walk thru explanation of saving images from a camera and sorting of existing HD files,(many from past shoots on different cameras), to enable me to sort into some kind of format.
Would it be a good idea to completely scrub all of my images from the 'C' hard drive, (I have a backup on my external deskstop drive), and start afresh?
I have a external drive connected to my laptop and all those images are showing ok with no missing file links.   It's only the laptop internal drive that is showing the problem.
any help would be a bonus as the online youtbe video instructions don't answer my problem.

Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3

created by JimHess in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionThe only way to use those files with Lightroom 4 is to convert them to DNG using DNG converter 8.3 or higher. The camera wasn't supported in Lightroom until version 5.3.

  • Ibooks author how to fix missing file error message

    I have cut and pasted many jpg images into my iBook in iBooks Author.  All the pictures appear to be displayed but whenever I open the iba file I get many error messages saying that many of the files are missing.   How do I diagnose and fix this issue?   Any ideas on how to debug or fix this would be appreciated.

    Yosemite is not supported for Encore, but neither was Mavericks (even though it is on the list, I don't think it is truly "supported," and there were issues).
    Many of the issues in Mavericks and Yosemite appeared to be permissions. Most Adobe apps need read/write access, and those were not the defaults for the OS.
    Some Mavericks users reported the following fixes their problems - I eventually assumed that somewhere in the process, it was fixing permissions. But perhaps it does more:

    (R11) HOW TO FIX MISSING CM DATA IN AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL TABLE
    ==================================================================
    PURPOSE
    Credit Memo data가
    AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL TABLE과 AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL 에 생성
    이 되어 있지 않는 경우 datafix script 으로 해결할 수 있도록 한다.
    Problem Description
    주로 타 시스템에서 autoinvoice 를 통해 넘어온 cm data에서 자주 발생하는 문제로 credit transaction 화면을 통해 보았을때 100% 로 applied 된 credit memo 임에도 applied 된 transaction의 balance에 전혀 영향을 주지 않는다.
    cm_info_11.sql 을 수행해 보면 ar_payment_schedules_all table과 ar_receivable_applications_all table에 해당 데이타가 존재하지 않음을 알수 있다.
    Workaround
    Solution Description
    1. AR Support Script Page (http://eastapps.us.oracle.com/appsar/SQL/SQL.htm) 에서 trx.sql과 pay.sql을 download 받는다. 이때 홈페이지 상의 90 Days, 150 Days 등은 transaction date scope을 의미한다. 즉 현재일로 부터 90일전까지의 transaction인 경우는 trx.sql을 150 일전까지의 transaction인 경우는 trx150.sql 을 download 받아야 한다.
    2. trx.sql 을 수행한다.
    3. trx.sql 수행시 생성되는 trx_<trx_id>.log 를 trx.sql 로 rename하여 다시 수행한다.
    4. 정상적으로 수행되었는지 확인 후 pay.sql을 수행한다.
    5. pay_<ps_id>.log 를 pay.sql로 rename한 후 수행한다.

  • How to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

    how to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

    I solved the problem.  I manually created my own Adobe PDF folder by connecting the phone via usb to my PC, Windows Autoplay gave me the option to 'Open device to view files'. Explorer then displayed all the folders on the phone.  I created an Adobe PDF folder manually and copied the PDFs I wanted to view into that folder.  Adobe Reader then found the files without a problem.  I clearly was missing something quite simple but something I'm sure a lot of people would miss.  Perhaps if the next version of Adobe Reader for Android created this folder automatically, like Kindle and Kobo and other readers do, it might save a lot of people a bit of a headache.

    DNG Converter.
    Read all about it here
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    It's a way of opening the Raw files from your OM-D EM-1 without having to upgrade to LR5.
    In short, you open the Raw files from the camera uing the DNG converter, convert the Raw files to DNGs. Then you edit the DNG files in LR4.4.

  • How to reconnect missing file from iCloud on PSE 12?

    I placed all my photos in the iCloud and also copied them to a flash drive and removed them from the hard drive. Now Organizer asks to reconnect missing files. The drop down menu in Browse does not list the Cloud as an option. How do i reconnect from the Cloud?
    Thanks, Barb
    I am using a MacBook Pro with Yosemite

    You will need to keep the flash drive connected. PSE will contain links to it and the images.
    Otherwise you would need to copy the files to a folder in Pictures on your internal drive or an external hard drive.

  • Am prompted to save a web page as a file before I can print it. How to fix it. Also Yahoo toobar was installed. Are they related

    Someone asked if I could help with this problem they are having with Firefox with Windows XP.
    There are a couple things going on that may or may not be related.
    Firstly the Yahoo toolbar was installed in Firefox. I assume this was bundled with another program or update.
    Also, if you try to print a webpage from within Firefox you are prompted to save the file first. I tried printing a page from Firefox on my computer (Firefox 30 Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint - 1.0) and was not prompted to save the file first.
    I'm assuming that this issue is related to the Yahoo toolbar.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi muttleytm,
    The official download is not bundled with the toolbar. [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/]
    Reset the printing settings/preferences with this :[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]] ]
    And you can try to disable the toolbar temporarily or try safe mode if there are other add ons installed: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

  • How to fix audible files that won't sync

    Apple repaired my computer. New motherboard and all. Now my iPhone 4s won't sync certain files. iTunes help is horrid and they don't have a phone number. Anyone know how to fix this issue shown below. We're on our own iTunes isn't going to help. And BTW before the repair I had no issues. So now I don't have a clue what to do and I was right in the middle of listening to a book. This isn't the first time iTunes has given me fits either.
    I won't dare install and use my new iPhone 5s. Might just return it. What a mess.
    Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone “charlie’s iPhone” because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    just purchase panasonic gx7 camera unable to open raw files in elements 9,elements 11,lightroom 4 but will open in trial version of lightroom 5.have downloaded dng 8.2,still no joy.has anybody any suggestion

    Actually, you could get by with DNG converter 8.2 or newer. But you will either have to convert your files to DNG or upgrade your Lightroom.

  • Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix my itunes. When I was trying to download the new 1114 version, a window popped up saying R6034 C runtime library was incorrectly loaded. Then another window said iTunes not installed properly

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix my iTunes. When I tried to update to the latest version (1114) a window popped up saying R6034 C runtime library incorrectly installed. Then another window popped up saying that iTunes was installed incorrectly Error 7 (windows error 1114). Hope you can help.

    Solved the issue without using the trash . I tried to consolidate the library in LACIE, then clicked on any exclamation-mark song and tried to locate the file. Repeating those steps 3 or 4 times cleared it up. That was confirmed when I synced the entire library on a iPod Classic, and showed up no problems after syncing the Nano.
         What went wrong was perhaps to fail to consolidate the library at first .

  • Re-downloading podcast episodes to fix missing files?

    I had a number of podcast episodes stored on an external drive that died. Now these episodes show up in iTunes with a gray exclamation point next to them, because iTunes can't find the corresponding files. I'd like to fix this problem by having iTunes re-download the missing episodes (since most are still available from the podcast server), but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any advice?
    (Note that iTunes still "remembers" some metadata about the episodes, such as whether I've watched/listened to the episode or not, ratings, etc. I would like to retain this information. That's why I haven't just deleted the podcast and re-subscribed.)
    Thanks!

    I just found a solution to this issue today. Try the following:
    Delete the problematic file(s) in iTunes.
    Close the podcast directory by clicking on the enclosing triangle.
    Reopen the podcast using the Option key and clicking on triangle.
    Missing podcasts will now appear with the "Get" flag.
    Hope that works for you.
    best regards

  • How to find missing files

    some files like pdf files. or files with a wrong extension are not cataloged by lightroom.
    When i start importing, a popup menu appears with files lightroom is not able to read.
    But as is said, some files are not in that list. But stil not recognized by lightroom.
    how do i now which files are in a folder. but not visible by lightroom.

    I originally had the photos organized by date folders on the hard drive, then I imported them into iPhoto.
    It sounds like you had a Referenced Library - that is, the photos were not copied to the Library on import. Now something has changed and the path to the photos has altered somehow and iPhoto cannot find them.
    iPhoto in this method uses aliases to track the location of the files. You might try repair those aliases with an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy>
    If that fails there is no fast solution for this, and it's one of the reasons that I wouldn't recommend iPhoto in this configuration.
    There's also nothing to be gained from doing so.
    You can use iPhoto with Photoshop: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    My best advice is to convert that Library to a Managed library.
    Regards

  • How to recover missing files

    I am missing a few songs dffrom Itunes. I may have missed while transfering from another PC. Any tips on how to recover, if any chance of that to happen?
    Thanks.

    Trying to diagnose something like this third hand probably isn't very effective. But when you open Terminal you are "in" your home directory. If you then issue this command:
    cd Desktop
    and hit return you will then be "in" your Desktop folder. If you then issue the list command:
    ls -al
    you will get a list of all the files and folders that are in the Desktop folder. If he sees everything, then the stuff is there. He could try creating a new folder in his home folder, call it something like fromDesktop, and then issue this command (this assumes he is still "in" the Desktop folder):
    mv * ~/fromDesktop
    This will move everything from the Desktop folder into the fromDesktop folder. A list command will verify things:
    ls -al ~/fromDesktop
    If all his stuff is listed, but he still can't see it in its new location using the Finder, then it could be that somehow the invisible bit got set.
    And for Finder's sake, tell him to stop saving all that stuff to the Desktop! Put stuff in folders in his home folder. I've seen cases where excessive numbers of files dropped on the Desktop brought the Finder to its knees for many hours. Every single thing on the Desktop is treated as a window by the Finder, and having a ton of stuff there is needlessly slowing things down. And he should be backing up every night, not every couple of weeks. There are many programs available that will do this automatically. If he is in business he should be using one. Not to mention burning separate CDs of things for every client.

  • How to fix Keynote files when migrated from iPad2 to new iPad2?

    My iPad2 was stolen.  I have backed up just few days before the incident.  Since I use it for business presentation a lot, I bought a new iPad2, and restored from my Mac from the backed up copy, thinking all would be restored as it was before.
    However, many things were missing, which I could bare (not essential stuff).
    The most critical one is my Keynote presentations.  Now I could see all of the presentations in Keynote, but they are only black icons, with the correct file name and sizes.  These black presentation icons cannot be opened at all.  I wonder if this can be fixed, and to prevent any future losses, is there a way to backup these presentation files automatically (anything I've missed out, apart from exporting them to elsewhere, manually)?
    Thank you.

    I'd suggest first creating an archive of the Keynote files (using Create Archive from the Finder's File menu), and see if those transfer properly.
    (According to the freeware app Error Codes, that error occurs when the app you are trying to run is in the Trash -- that's not the problem, is it?)
