Images sorted in collections are gone

It happened to us already several times that images we sorted into different collections suddenly do not longer belong to the collection. E.g. a collection containing about 125 images on one day does only contain 20 images on the next day. All others are gone (not deleted, but they do not longer belong to the collection) and there is no way to get them back to the collection but to sort them manually again.
Why does this happen and how can we avoid it? It happened to different collegues already (on different computers - all using Adobe CS5.5)
I hope to get an answer to that soon. We love the collection function but if it does not work correctly, there is no use for us...
Thanks and greetings from Berlin!

There was an old thread about this issue here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3374043
comment #19 clearly explains that CS5 Bridge when making the .filelist file for the Collection does not automatically change any apostrophes to %27 like CS4 Bridge would (similarly blank spaces get converted to %20 in CS5 just like CS4).
This bug was reported over a year ago and seems to be a simple fix - put back in the feature from CS4 that changed any single quote in paths of the images to %27 - How about it Adobe? I am working off of a server and can not change old folder filenames that contain the offending apostrophe.

All my collections are gone!

I had a catalogue with 4 or 5 collections filled with pictures in each with stars and color filters. I just went to go open my collections to export the pictures and all my collections are gone and I did not click any thing to reset or delete anything. Only a small portion of the pictures have a star rating but none of them have a color filter. Please help me asap!

Are there no adjustments in History, for the ones w/o any star ratings, just the import line and nothing else?
Check to see if you have opened a backup catalog:
Find out where the current catalog is opened from:
LR -> Edit -> Catalog Settings… -> General (tab)
What are the Location and File Name shown on the General tab?
Then lower down on the General tab, make note of the value of the “Back up catalog” setting then change it to When Lightroom next exits, then exit LR and look where the backup location is as it prompts you to confirm the backup, then skip the backup.
Then go back in to LR and change the backup preference to what you want it to be if it’s not already that.

sorry i dont understand:
"exract your pics froms windows" which app do you mean?
"right click on your device in my computer" in itunes?
i use the default automated import: when i plugin my iphone into my macbook air, it opens iphoto and imports the images.
thx

There any way to open an 'offline' image if the originals are gone?

I recently had pictures, 1827 of them, somehow get deleted off my computer, therefore it resulted in me not being able to do anything with them in Lightroom since they are now considered 'offline'... is there any way a person can somehow get these images off the lightroom program, so I can save them & still have access to them?

First, are you really sure that your pictures ahve been deleted? You can only be sure when a thorough search in your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) does not find them.
The fact that LR sows them greyed-out and with question marks does not necessarily mean that the images are deleted.
That LR is not able to find the images can have several reasons:
(a) worst case, the images are not on the hard drive at all.
(b) the images are on the hard drive but in a different location. This happens when you move images / folders outside of LR.
(c) images and/or folders have been renamed outside of LR.
(d) a combination of (b) and (c).
In case your images are truely deleted you can do a <Print to JPG file>. In the print Module on the right side in the <Print Job> panel besides the words <Print To> click on the small triangles besides <Printer> and select <Print to JPG file> that would save your image as a small jpg.

All of my images in Elements 9 are gone. Possibly related, strange icons in iPhoto have appeared.

All that's left of hundreds of images in Elements are a few gray Elements icons with question marks. I don't know if it's related, but iPhoto has strange images such as a Safari symbol labeled ibikb, and other icons labeled Reading List, Bookmarks, Top Sites, S0001 Full Screen Enter....... Clicking on any of these brings up the message that they cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found. HELP PLEASE.

Thanks to the forum, I was able to locate them in my Mac's User Name/Pictures. Is there a way to bring them back into Elements 9?

HT4859 When I tried to restore my new iPhone all I got was my contacts, all of my images and voice memos are gone. I was backing up via wi-fi at home to the iCloud. How can I retrieve the images and voice memos?

The voice memos, in particular, are important as they contain several conversations I had with my, now decieced, grandmother. I was under the mistaken impression that everything was being backed up nightly when I was connected to wi-fi at home and plugged in to a charger.

You could try restoring the backup again. Sometimes people have more success the second time.

Certain master images are gone: how do I use my backup vault to restore?

Images stored in a folder (the little blue book icon) named Dogs is suddenly empty. Apparently the Masters are gone too. I have searched through the Library, in the original project, by date. They are gone.
(I think I know how I lost them — by renaming other images accidently keyworded as Dogs.)
But the issue is: how do I get back these images?
I have the Library backed up to a Vault on a dedicated external FW hard drive. I have read the posts about restoring the library, but am terrified to make a misstep, with all my images at risk.
I would very deeply appreciate advice on how to proceed — that is, use the vault to restore the lost images.
Thank you very much.

Choose File>Vault>Restore Library. Aperture will show you an alert that your old library will be renamed. If this is OK click restore. After the restoration is complete Aperture will prompt you to relaunch Aperture. After relaunch you'll see another dialogue box. If everything is OK click Recover Now. The next feedback you'll get is Recovery Complete. Click OK and you're done.

All the imported images are gone

I've made an animation in Adope Edge Animate with a lot of images imported from the same directory folder as the animation.
But the next time i had started up the animation, all the images are gone. The animation is saying they are still there, like in the elements and the timeline section, but doesn't show them.
Does anyone know the problem? Maybe you have to show the directory folder of the images again or something?

Is the images folder in the composition folder present?
If you delete it your images are lost and do not show up .
If that folder is present ,can you PM/post your animate files.I can have a look.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Website images in New Tab page are gone (except for one). I followed the Help directions to restore them. Nothing happened. They are still gone.

All but one of the images on the 'new tab' page are gone. I followed the FFox Help directions exactly & repeatedly. Nothing happened. The images are still gone. Restarting the computer did not help either.
I have Windows Seven.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.
*Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

When searching for an image in Finder on iMac, I found hundreds of images of printers !! All sorts of printer images which I certainly haven't loaded on.I went to Finder, File, Find and Image and there they are, hundreds,if not low thousands of them.

I was searching for an image on my Imac and when I went to Finder,File,Find and then Image, I found hundreds if not early thousand images of printers ! Amazing in one way but I didn't put them on my machine and don't really want them there.Did they come pre-loaded? Can I delete them safely? Thanks

Almost certainly, no absolutely not once you start deleting stuff like this that you think is not needed, eventually you'll trash something essential and cause yourself a lot of heartache.
There are numerous files classed as images, some will be temporary files in browser caches, others system files, others your "real" images, others files which are not really images but appear to be.
The amount of space of what I presume are essentially icons of printers will will be minimal, lets say these images are 5k in size (I guess they are much smaller?) and there are 1,000 of them, thats only 5Mb. No doubt your disk has multiple gigabytes free, eg thousands of times as much free as you'd save by deleting all of them. So you might gain back an extra 0.0001% disk space*. NOt worth the time, let alone the risk, plus then you'll get into a mindset "hmm, I dont think I can possibly need this 23byte file either I'll delete that as well etc, and then "problem......".
Where are the images stored? It may be that at some time you were searching for a new printer and these images are from that exercise (though I doubt you looked at thousands?) in which case they are in your browser cache and you can always delete that through the browser, but that space will be overwritten by other images anyway.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a motto to work by with computers.
*( or, if you really do need the (say) 5MB of disk space back because you are running out, this would only be a very temporary solution and that wont have done you any good)

Pictures are gone after iOS 8 update

After the iOS 8 update, I went to my picture gallery and all but 43 of my pictures are gone. I've gone to Photos --> Collections and still, only those 43 images are there. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back?

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync them to the iPhone.
Did you update without making sure that you had imported everything to your computer?
