How to re-upload images in LR that were lost due to crash

I edited a series of photographs in LR and the original files were on a flash drive (big mistake, I know). Well, my flash drive crashed and I lost the edited photos. I tried to go into LR to re-upload the files (because I have my SD card with the original images from my camera) so I could edit them again, and LR will not let me upload them because they are still showing in my LR catalog.
Is there any way I can re-upload and edit these photos in LR or am I relegated to editing them in Photoshop and skipping Lightroom?
Appreciate any advice out there.

In general, the edits are not stored on the flash drive by default, the edits are not stored with the photos by default, and even if you modify the defaults, the edits are always stored in the Lightroom catalog. So, if you have a copy of the original photos on a hard drive somewhere (do you?), then all you have to do is have the Lightroom catalog connect the edits with the photos via this procedure http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm, no "uploading" (could we use the proper term "Importing" here from now on, thank you) needed

  • How can I retrieve photos that were lost due to my 3GS going into recovery mode suddenly?

    Yesterday I tried to open a couple of emails (that I get on a regular basis) but they didn't open; instead my. Mail just shut right down. I then realized I hadn't powered down in a couple days so I decided to power down and I plugged it in to charge as well. Within 20 mins it went into recovery mode. I've (my boyfriend) been able to restore the phone and update it but of course I had many photos on there that had not been backed up to iTunes yet.
    Is there anyway to recover these lost photos??? Help please they are very important to me and I would like to get them back if its possible.

    Thanks :( I appreciate your response. I do back up my photos but I take a lot and obviously can't back them up after every photo I take so its all the photos since my last update that were lost.
    Thanks anyway. I've heard that wondershare dr fone could possibly do it. Any comments on that software?

  • How do I get back old emails that were lost when I changed my email address?

    I changed email providers. I have the new account set up. I then went to Tools/Account Settings/Account Actions. I then removed the old account (assuming that it would stay in my inbox and just not try to send or receive) and all of the old incoming and sent emails that I had been saving under that account in my inbox and sent files folders disappeared. How do I get them back?

    Which program do you use for email: Thunderbird? Outlook Express? Other?
    As you may know, you can set up accounts using two different protocols: POP3 and IMAP. With POP3, you actually download copies of all mail and Sent messages are stored locally. Removing your account should be no problem. With IMAP, you are viewing a mirror of your mail which really lives on the server. Removing an IMAP account might remove the folders, although I can't recall ever trying it.

  • How can I recover bookmarks and files that were lost when Firefox updated?

    This morning, there was a message that firefox needed to be updated. Since I don't like (or use) Google Chrome or IE, I unchecked those options as part of the update. Once the update was completed, all of my bookmarks and folders were gone. Is there ANY way to either recover the missing items OR restore/roll back to the firefox browser I was already using?

    Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
    If not, please see - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]], and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • How do I get my bookmarks back that were lost when I updated to Firefox 6?

    I have Windows 7. I updated from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 6. After the update my bookmarks were gone. There is nothing in my bookmarks or bookmarks toolbar. How can I get them back?

    This might happen if you were previously using the Google Toolbar add-on to store your bookmarks. Google has [http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html discontinued the Google Toolbar add-on] and it is not available for newer versions of Firefox.
    If this is the cause of the problem, then you can still access your Google Bookmarks at [http://www.google.com/bookmarks google.com/bookmarks], or you can install one of the add-ons listed here: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars].
    Or if you were using another add-on to store your bookmarks, you can try re-enabling it by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter].
    If none of these steps help, you can also try the instructions at [[Lost Bookmarks]].

  • How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

    Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

    Yes it should be possible deppending on your  version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

  • Is there ay way to recover photos that were lost due to update

    Hello,
    I wanted to update my mother's iPhone and I forgot to back up the photos, contacts, messages, etc. Does this mean that everything is lost forever??? There is no way I can recover anything? Does't the computer have a file or folder or something that may have the deleted information?????
    Please tell me that there's a way...... please!!!
    Thanks

    iCloud only. If you have it turned on, your photos and contacts should be there.

  • I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable.  how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

    i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
    as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

    Hi kstine,
    I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
    What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described  here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files

  • I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

    I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

    How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

    So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have?  You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your  phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

    If you've forgotten your passcode then you'll need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to, and you should then be able to restore your content from your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    How can I move/copy scanned photos that were sent to my gmail account? I have not been able to move or copy to iPhoto.

    Hello SusieMacBook,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    You can definitely get these photos into iPhoto if they are the correct file type (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG).  The way you import the photo attachments depends on where you check your e-mail.  The following article is for iPhoto 11 (but should work for previous versions as well).  It outlines how to import photos from Mac Mail, other e-mail applications, and web browsers, so just look at the section that applies to you.
