Imported folder not showing up in Lightroom 4.1

I've imported my photos into Lightroom 4.1, running on Windows 7.
My photos are organized by Year, then Month.  For example, I imported a directory "2011", which contains all my photos from 2011.  There are sub folders for each month, such as "April 2011".
For some reason, the sub folder "September 2011" is not showing up. 
I tried to re-import that directory, and all the photos are shown as already imported.
I also (accidentally) have a "September 2011" directory in a sub-folder in my 2012 photos.  I tried to move this directory to 2011, but I'm told that the folder already exists.
Why isn't it showing up under 2011?

If the photos are already imported, even in the wrong location, you can right-click on one and say Find in Library to see where it is, then move that folder using things inside of LR, to another completely different location, then examine where the photos are and aren’t using Windows Explorer, then decide where you want to move the folder to using LR.  We can’t see your computer to tell you exactly what to do.

  • Gmail Important folder not showing in Thunderbird

    I am using a program called MailWasher (MW) to preview all the emails of six accounts. I have just had a case where it showed an email from Gmail, but when I did a Get Mail it did not appear.
    Logging directly into Gmail I found that the message had been place in the Important folder. Doing a Reply in Gmail, again I saw an entry in MW but again, a Get Mail did not show anything.
    Am I missing something here? I'm not sure just what rules Gmail is using to decide whether am email is 'Important' but I don't like the idea of Thunderbird not being able to display a message just because it seems to be put somewhere other than Inbox.

    It's been a long time since I used gmail in anything other than IMAP, so I'm not sure what happens under POP.
    Their operating principle with email is to label it, and then display it in the appropriate view. So mails tagged as "Important" will appear when you select ''Important'', which looks like a folder. In the IMAP world, a message labelled ''Important'' will appear both in its original folder (usually the Inbox) and in the ''Important'' folder. I'm surprised that yours appears to be ''moving'' messages.
    Go to the gmail webpage and in your account settings, look for settings to manage these folders. I disable all the naff pre-categorization that google wants to do for me, such as Important and Social, Promotions, etc.

  • My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

    My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events.  The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder.  When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up.  Any ideas?

    If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
    Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
    If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere,  just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

  • ARQ: Role Import does not show roles in the preview

    Dear All,
    Recently I upgraded our system to SP#14. Now when I try to import roles from NWBC->AM->Role Mass Maintenance->Role Import, it does not show roles in preview. Also, it does not import the roles specified. (either a range or full name of the role). It does not even give any error message.
    I implemented SAP note#1897975 Role import does not show roles in the preview.
    Still facing the same problem. Has any one faced this problem? Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Faisal

    HI Faisal,
    This note(1897975) you have to implement in Plug-in System, try to check the same once and let me know if it resolves our issue.

  • Folder Issue, imported but not showing up in catalog.

    I've imported a folder into a catalog, the images are there but folder isn't visable?  Any suggestions on how to get the folder to show up?

  • Files not showing up in Lightroom 4.4

    I was reorganizing/rationalizing my hard drive file folders outside of Lightroom.
    Now not all the images in the folders show up in Lightroom 4.4
    For instance:
    In a 2014 folder there are 25 files. Lightroom's Folders panel shows the number as 15. If I try Import it shows all 25 files but the missing 10 are greyed out and thus not available for import.
    If I Syncrhonize the folder, the little dialog says there are 10 files to be imported, but when I click Synchronize another dialog comes up saying there are no files to import.
    Suggestions on how to make the files available in Lightroom 4.4 would be helpful, Thanks.

    You will probably find that if you go to "All Photographs", some photos now have a ? icon on them. This is because you have moved or renamed photos outside of LR. You can reconnect the photos via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder-old.htm. I would NOT even try synchronizing as a solution in this case; as you have already seen, it won't fix the problems.
    As Tom said, you really need to get out of the habit of moving things around in your operating system. Not gradually get out of the habit, or partially get out of the habit, but completely and immediately get out of the habit of doing this. Just don't do it anymore.
    If you MUST move folders and photos, do so within Lightroom. Drag and drop to a new location in the Lightroom Folder panel. But if you're going to put the effort into "reorganizing/rationalizing my hard drive file folders", let me suggest what I think is a superior way to go ... don't reorganize your folders at all ... instead put the effort into assigning keywords and other metadata to your photos, and from that point on, use keywords and other metadata as your search mechanism. Not only does this result in fewer problems in the long run, but it gives you the potential to create a far superior organization than anything you can accomplish by moving folders around. In fact, I'll guess even further that the reason you want to move your folders around is because folders aren't exactly getting the job done ... and in that case I'm also guessing (but pretty sure) that you will find keywords and other metadata easily overcome these limitations. I can be more specific if you want.

  • Problems with images greyed out. Downloaded folder not showing up in Left Panel

    Downloaded folder and it showed up in Lightroom. Next day images greyed out Folder doesnt show in Left Panel. Lightroom says no images to Import. What do I do?

    Thanks so much dj for your response. Unfortunately I did start in the Library module and the folder wasn't there to click on. It was really strange, but the usual 'Previous Import' link wasn't showing anything! That's why I tried to reimport.
    If the folder doesn't show in your Library module, then you probably (accidentally) imported the photos using the MOVE option instead of the ADD option. You have to search for the desired photos by file name, and NOT by folder. Perform all of the following 4 steps, and you will find your photos
    Go to the Catalog Panel on the left in the Library Module and click on All Photographs
    Turn off all filters (Ctrl/Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all Stacks (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks)
    Search by file name

  • Newly imported thumbnails not showing previews

    Today when I was importing images off a memory card I noticed the thumbnails in library mode were not showing any previews, they were blank (gray) for only the recently imported items.  My other folders' thumbnails are showing previews with no issue.
    I am working in Lightroom 4.  I am using Windows 8 on a HP laptop.
    A couple of other notes about what I noticed...
    1.  In the import screen the thumbnails display the preview.
    2.  Once the import goes to the Library Mode - thumbnails are blank.  Can only see the image number and any symbols indicating tags or changes to the image.
    3.  Loupe view I cannot get an image to appear.
    4.  In the Develop Mode if I click on a thumbnail down in the filmstrip (which are all blank) an image will appear in the work area and the filmstrip thumbnail will display a preview of the one I selected.  The thumbnail preview will remain visible for a few moments after moving to a new image.  Then it just goes blank again.
    5.  I was importing jpegs and dngs.  Having the same problem with both of these today. 
    6.  All the other thumbnails in folders that were in the catalog prior to today are visible and working normally.
    I am wondering how to fix this problem of newly imported images not displaying an image in the thumbnail whether it is in Library Mode, Loupe View, or Develop mode.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    I'd delete the preview cache and rebuild - that may help (or it may not).
    To do so, exit Lightroom, then delete .lrdata folder alongside .lrcat file.
    PS - delete entire .lrdata folder, but do NOT delete .lrcat file or anything else.
    (if it has 'Smart Previews' in the filename, don't delete it - just delete the other one).
    Then, re-open Lightroom and rebuild previews using Library - Previews menu (optional, but probably worthwhile).
    If no better, then you have an system/app problem as opposed to a preview-data problem.

  • Imported images not showing in catalog

    I have imported images from my Canon 5D markIII and somewhere along the way, I've made an error in the settings.  The images are on my computer but not showing up in a folder in the LR4 catalog...how do I get them into the catalog?  When I try to find them, they are all greyed out and I can't move them - a message says that it seems that duplicates are already on the computer (or something like that).  Can anyone guide me through this?

    uncheck "don´t import possible duplicates" in the import dialog.
    this is a screenshot from the german version but you should be able to find that checkbox:
    http://i.imgur.com/S4EcC.jpg
    when you are sure they are in a folder on your harddisk you have imported into LR already, but they don´t show in the LR catalog, then rightclick on the folder in lightroom and choose "syncronize folder".
    a windows will come up with different options you can choose.
    you can search for new files in the folder and import them into lightrooms database.
    or delete files from the database when they are not in the folder anymore.

  • Importing songs not showing up in itunes

    I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
    I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
    I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
    Any body have this problem?
    Any suggestions on how to remedy?
    Much Thanks!!!
    Windows XP Pro

    I followed the instructions for transfering a library
    from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
    I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
    no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
    the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
    still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
    these songs from that location and it brings up the
    error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
    be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
    exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
    appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
    it's jumbled, just let me know.

    I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

  • Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

    Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

    I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
    If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
    This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
    I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
    iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(
