Is there a way to reset all of the images in my library

Hello All. I am New to Lightroom and accidentally imported every image on my hard drive. This includes photo's and CGI images that I created in my rendering programs. Now everything is a mess and unorganized. also, some new images do not show up in the library.  Can I reset and start from scratch? Thanks in advance for any help in this area. Mean while, I shall continue to look through the help menus.

Here are 2 ways to "start over":
1. remove all photos (or all extraneous photos anyway) from existing catalog (e.g. all photos collection, ctrl/cmd-a, then delete key).
2. create a new catalog (see file menu).
It sounds like #2 would be best for you, so you don't have extraneous keywords in your catalog etc.

  • Is there a way to reset them in the OUTLOOK template

    In setting up my Pop3 email accounts I did not group them into a singular account.
    Now they are all separate.
    Is there a way to reset them to the OUTLOOK template?

    Hi,
    I'm still not sure what you mean by "group", but based on the description, is that Outlook Profile?
    We can create multiple Outlook Profiles, with each profile we can have multiple accounts in it, that may be why you call it "group".
    We can find the profiles from Control Panel -> Search "Mail" and open it -> Show Profiles. Once Outlook starts, it has to choose a profile, or the default one.
    If you want to add accounts to the profile, double click on the profile name, then click "E-mail Accounts", then click "New" to add a new account.

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • Is there a way to deselect all of the music in iTunes at one time?

    Is there a way to deselct all of the music in iTunes at one time?  I tried the Select All choice but didn't see anything after that.

    Do you mean uncheck everything?
    Command click any checkbox to check/uncheck all.
    What's the reason you want to uncheck everything?
    If it is to select what to sync, it's easier to create playlists and sync only those playlists.
    Then simply add/delete fomr a playlist to remove it from syncing.

  • How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

    Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
    If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

  • I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used.  Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music from my 4th Gen Nano back into iTuunes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.

  • Is there a way to retrieve photos which were accidentally erased?  I can still see all of the images in my library but can not open them?  Thanks

    Is it possible to retrieve photo images which were deleted by mistake.  I continue to see all of the images in my library but am unable to open them  Thanks

    Are you asking about iPhoto on your Mac? This is the iPhoto on IOS devics forum.
    What is your iPhoto version? And what happened to delete your photos?
    Do you mean, you see the images in your iPhoto library, when you are browsing them, but you cannot edit them?
    Then probably the original master image files are no longer there, but the previews are. If you are using iPhoto '11 you can see the Previews inside the iPhoto Library in the folder "Previews", when you ctrl-click the iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents".

  • Is there a way to reset more than one image at a time?

    I have a folder with 1100 images taken on four different cameras. I have a new default setting for one of the cameras that I would like to apply to most but not all of the images in this folder. I could remove the offending images and reimport, I could filter by serial number and sync a preset. It would be easier, however, if could just select the images I want and hit the reset tool and reset all the images selected. But it only seems to reset the dominant image. Any way to get the reset button to work on more than one image at a time?

  • Is there a way to export all of the playlists to an XML file?

    I have a ton of playlists in iTunes.  I love making them.  However, I have two computers.  A PC and a Macbook.  I've currently had to export every single playlist to an XML file and then import them on the other machine to keep them in sync.  Is there a way to just save all of the freakin playlists to an XML, or any other way for that matter so I don't have to go through this tedious process?
    I would use iTunes Match to keep it all in sync, but unfortunately the service has been a disappointment for me.  Certain songs won't upload to the cloud, playlists won't sync at all, and songs frequently skip or won't play at all when streaming to my iPhone on the go.  It's a shame because it could be a great service if it worked well.

  • Is there a way to transfer all of the songs from an iPhone (4), to iMac using iCloud?

    I honestly don't know what happened one day all of my music just vanished off of the system.
    But I still have all of my songs, books, movies etc on my iPhone.
    I know you can transfer things from your Macbook, imac etc from iTunes to your iPhone, but is there a way to do it the other way around?,
    PLEASE HELP! It will be much appreicated, my iTunes library started 6 years ago, that's a lot of music lost!

    Music purchased from iTunes can be transferred from your phone using iTunes, however other music cannot.  To do this requires 3rd party software such as PhoneView (mac) or Touch Copy (pc or mac).

  • Is there a way to delete all of the unnecessary languages???

    Has anyone checked out how many languages are needlessly supported on the iPod??? Is there a way to get rid of all of them (except the language of the user...whatever that may be)? Wouldn't this free up space on the iPod?

    There is no way to do this that I've ever seen posted here. Even if there were, I would think that the space gained would be no more than a few Mb at most.

  • Is there a way to "select all" in the mail folders?

    I was wondering if there is a "select all" function in the mail folders on the iPad 2 pr iPhone 4s? 
    I added an email account to my iPad and it is now in the process of downloading 3,500 old messages that were on the server 50 at a time and I have to go through and select each one with the edit option to delete them in batches. 

    No way to do that yet,
