I can't see my Library any more!

I wanted to create a new calander for 2014, so I created a new catalog and started to import 25 images which were in my library in various folders. once I was done with the selections I could see that there are several catalogs set up from each folder of origin.  if I click on library to get out of the "catalog" mode nothing happens. I can no longer see any of my library folders on the left panel, unless I try to import more images.
How do I delete or cancel this request to add a catalog and get back to my original library?
also, in hind sight, I believe I wanted to add a "collection".  please confirm the difference between a collection, smart collection and a catalog.
Thank you
Floorman

I would recommend you have a look at some of the videos here: http://jkost.com/lightroom.html before you end up with a bigger mess and possible loss of files.

  • Can't see shared libraries any more...?

    I used to be able to see shared libraries on the left hand bar, but now that tab is gone. I've already gone under preferences to make sure the Look for shared libraries preference is checked. I've tried unchecking and checking this repeatedly. I don't know what else to do, because I used to be able to see them completely fine but I can no longer.

    Well the first thought is, are the shared libraries you used to see actually currently online?
    In other words, if you used that to see the library from the computer upstairs while on the downstairs computer, is the upstairs computer currently running iTunes? Because you can not see the library if iTunes isn't running or if the computer is off or if the computer is disconnected from the network.

  • Can't See The Wife Any More

    We have an iMac 24 (Intel) with built-in iSight in our kitchen in the house. I have a G5 (no camera) in the office (same network). We're both on Tiger.
    For a couple of years my wife has been able to call me up via Bonjour and I can see her in the iChat window. Just recently the connection still works for audio but I can't see her any more. She can see herself in the iChat window and I get an iChat window but mine is just a blank white space – no darling wife.
    I've checked the preferences but can't see that anything has changed.
    Help appreciated.
    Bob.

    Thanks but no that didn't work. However I've established that it's 'my end' i.e. it's the G5 that's not playing ball.
    I also have a MacBook Pro in the office (Leaopard) and tried a one-way-video from that machine to the G5 (after setting the preferences and re-starting iChat as you suggested) and the result is the same.
    It sounds like it's going to work, I get the dull chime when I accept the Video Chat but just the same shortened white screen.
    So I tried a video chat (two way) between the iMac and the MacBook Pro and that works fine. (I thought I'd also try a one-way-video chat form the iMac to the PowerBook but there's no option for this – the little devil must know the PowerBook has a camera.)

  • Can't 'see' firewire HD any more.

    I've had a sleep/freeze problem, for which I'm working through advice on old threads, but in the meantime my G5 has lost the ability to 'see' my LaCie FW drive on which I have lots of backups. I've disconnected it, reconnected it, switched it on, off, rebooted in various combinations, but nothing. The drive doesn't mount and can't be seen in System Profiler.
    I have no other FW deviced attached.
    Any ideas?

    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.
    If that doesn't work, next step it to plug the drive into another computer and see if you can read it there. If not, could be something wrong with the drive (I know Lacie had an issue with power supplies for their drives sometime back).

    I have multiple lines for family members on my account. Can I still transfer upgrades between lines? I don't see the option any more.

    More everything. I have one line coming up on the 19th of this month and I'd like to transfer to another user with a later upgrade date. Just not seeing the option anywhere.

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

  • Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

    In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
    Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
    I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
    Thanks.

    HI roger,
    Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
    In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.

  • Can't see or play any videos on websites!

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, I've lost the ability to see or play any videos. On youtube, I can't see or watch any videos. On websites like Scifi.com, I can't see any videos, visit the forum or see of their flash-enabled content. I know that I have Adobe flash installed, but I don't know what else to check for. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks.

    Ditto here.
    No video content is viewable on my iMac G5. This started happening after startup.
    But I can view video content just fine on our other iMac G5, and on a G4 powerbook, both under Safari 3 & MacOS 10.5.6.
    I have reset Safari, run Cocktail maintenance tasks, repaired permissions, etc. all with no change.

  • Help, my googlemaps can not use the gps any more after updated the software.

    hello
    i am fresh here
    about a month ago i got a 9630 from bell
    at first the googlemap works well, but a few days ago i updated the software(9630AMEA_PBr4.7.1_rel77_PL4.1.0.40_A4.7.1.40_Bell_Mobility_Inc)
     since then it can't use the gps any more.
    it always say "your current location is temporarily unavailable. gps temporarily unaviliable "
    thank you very much if any buddy can help me

    Go into your OPtions, then advanced options, applications and highlite google maps, menu button, edit permissions.  make sure they are set to "allow".  this will typically solve it.  also go into your GPS settings (under options) and make sure its set to "location On".
    Try these and you should be back up and running.
