Is there a way to restore missing lightroom files without the original files?

I am currently trying to reedit some old work, unfortunately, I lost the memory card with all the original files, is there a way I can restore the files in LR without the originals? I figure since the program still has some of the data and can show us a preview of the images, there should be a way around this.

I assume you copied the original memory card files to HDD during import into LR. Did you later move the files or the containing folder to another location from outside LR and now they are missing?

    Sorry my error. It only shows the computer name not the serial number. Go with "themachead" response copied below:

  • Is there a way to save photos from lightroom without the original file?

    I recently imported photos into lightroom, but I failed to save the original files on my computer and they are deleted from my card.  The pictures are still showing up in lightroom.  Is there a way to save them from lightroom without the original file?

    Your images aren't - and never were - in Lightroom, they're just referenced in Lightroom's database.
    Lightroom does generate jpeg previews of the originals though, and you can export those using Rob Cole's Preview Exporter plugin: robcole.com - PreviewExporter.
    To be clear though, these aren't the originals.

  • Is there any way I can use bi beans without the patches

    I am a Chinese student,I am doing some research on OLAP.
    I'm in the initial stages of evaluating BI Beans for my research. We have previously not used Oracle in house.
    In attempting to use BI Beans, the first thing you must do is install the latest patches against the Oracle database. Unfortunately, the patches are only available for people with a suport contract.
    Is there any way I can get these patches without a support contract, or is there any way I can use bi beans without the patches?
    thanks alot,

    You must have a valid support contract to access Metalink. You could try contacting your local support centre and ask if they could make the patches available to you.

  • Is there any way to get spanish language movies without the stupid "always on" english subtitles

    I am losing my mind trying to figure out a way to buy movies through iTunes, in the original language, WITHOUT forced english subtitels.  Please help!

    If the films don't have Japanese as a language option on them then you can try requesting that they be added to your country's iTunes store, but Apple will only be able to sell them there if the rights-holder grants them a license to do so : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I lost my Sync Key on my Desktop Firefox, but i still have it on my Firefox Home (IPhone 4). Is there a way to restore it/show it on the mobile device?

    I'm trying to resync my newly set-up Firefox on Mac OS X. Somehow it never occured to me, that i'd have to save the key.
    So is there a way, as stated in the title, to restore my Sync key from the mobile device, without deleting all of my Bookmarks etc?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Sorry to read that. Unfortunately, because of security reasons, there's no way to retrieve your Sync key from any mobile device. That's why it's really important to keep a secure back up of it.
    The only remaining option at this stage is to save your bookmarks on the phone and manually migrate them to your computer. Once you have done this, reset your account.

  • HT1535 My PC crashed and lost all my I TUnes library. All that remains is loaded on my I pod classic 80 gb. Is there a way to restore my I Tunes from the I Pod back to the library on my pc?

    Owner of I Pod Classic 80 GB with large content preserved on I Pod. Is there is a way to restore I Tunes on PC, i.e. synch my I Pod's content back into I Tunes on PC ( HP Pavilion Windows XP). I have some content preserved by Apple in the "cloud" but majority of music loaded was from my non I Tunes store music, private CD/vinyl library.

    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the songs files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the current iTunes library and then sync your iPod to that library.

  • Is there any way I can reset my laptop to the original factory settings?

    Is there any way you can reset your MacBook Air to the original settings you first recieved it in? I've noticed I have way to much junk to go through and try to delete it all and when I try to delete something it does the poof thing it's supposed to, but later I notice it has not been deleted. I've tried restarting my computer, and completely turning it off for 24 hours then seeing it its gone, but it never deletes.

    Use the MacBook Air's thumbdrive, or for those models which shipped with Lion, its recovery partition, to erase the drive and install a new OS.

  • Is there a way to display only duplicates and not the original?

    i know that there is a button to "display duplicates" but that displays both duplicates and the original. i just want to go through and delete everything that i dont need. i have like 40 gbs of duplicates and need some space on my comp. is there a way to do this without going through the duplicates list and deleting things one by one?

    How would you define the duplicate?
    I use the same feature, but many times songs that appear to be duplicates really are not. For example, I might have the same artist doing the song on the original album, on a compilation of greatest hits, on a live disc, and perhaps even on another compilation mixed in with other artists. Which is the duplicate?
    Also you might find that some duplicate songs from the same artist have slightly different names, and they won't show up on the "show duplicates" list.
    I like to keep some duplicates, because one day I might want to play by artist, and another day I might want to play some of my "decade" collections. I decided it was easier to have duplicate songs than try to manage playlists that reference the same song.
    What I have started doing to identify duplicates, and it works well for me, is I make a temporary playlist and put everything by an individual artist into that playlist. I sort by song title. That puts all of the songs that have the same name together, but by artist, and I go through and selectively check / uncheck the songs I want to sync to my iPod or not. I don't try to do my entire library at once, since it's fairly large (in my case). Maybe a process like that would work for you.

  • Is there any way to move loads of mails from the "sent" file to trash, or does it have to be one by one ?

    Mail .
    I want to delete multiple mails ( not simply a thread of mails , but a larger selection) from the "Sent " file , but it looks like you can only do it one at a time .....is that correct , or am I missing something ?
    Message was edited by: alanfromroggwil

    I Have had the same problem I have not figured out how to check multiples at once, I know once they are in the trash you can delete them all at once, that's the only thing that drives me crazy about the ipad, I use my surface 2 or laptop to delete a lot of mail at once, at one point my inbox went up to over 10000 emails Before I got my laptop.
