Is there any collective way to have Lightroom 5 find lost files?

Though I have tried to move folders and files only with Lightroom, I note that a good number of my images shown in thumbnails in Library cannot be opened because Lightroom 5 cannot find the files. I assume I have moved files among drives accidentally without Lightroom's knowledge. I also note that I can control click and try to find individual files. Is there any way to do this find process for entire folders or drives? Can I import files from a drive (which is the original source of the lost files) in mass and run them through the import function on Lightroom and return them directly to the file from which they were imported? Would this create a new thumbnail in Library but duplicate the files in the affected folder and drive?

Lightroom isn't going to allow you to import images a second time. In the left-hand panel of the library module you can Ctrl-click on a folder and choose to update the folder location or find the missing folder. Have you tried that?

Hi Sian.riches,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Have a great day,
Joe

Is there any alternate way of deleteing without using finder?

My Mac os x has full memory... Totally 100% cpu usage and now when I log on it will not show my backaround or display the dashboard or any menus so I cannot launch finder to allow me to delete files, also will not launch any applications and gives 'cannot connect to the agent" error message, twice. Oddly the speach icon (the round blue icon that comes up when you use the speech function) still appears and i can use that to get to system preferences from there I am stuck. I need to delete files but can't.
Can some one help me?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Press Shift key when your Mac starts, so you can delete files or copy them to an external disk

Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

TS1368 don't have PC right now - is there any other way to synch my iPod with iTunes?

This is likely a dumb question but I need to ask...
I am in between PC's, meaning I don't currently have a home computer (actually looking to purchase a MacBook but not for another 1-2 months). I want to synch my iPod with the music we've been purchasing via my iPad.
I am figuring it is possible to go to a friend's house and use their computer to access my iTunes account and synch...is there any other way? Just asking, just in case...
Thanks so much!

The only way to clear off the passcode is to restore the device. You could always try the restore process on another computer that has iTunes just to get the iPod working again, then you could plug it back into your comptuer to sync all of his content back on the iPod.

HT1725 hi i did not have a credit to purchase any paid app or songs. is there any other way to purchase

hi. i did not have a credit card to purchase a paid app or songs. is there any other way to purchase. and i already purchased a paid app any song by using my debit card . what can i do to purchase

Is you debit card no longer accepted ? If not then do you have a different debit card that you could try, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country - they are not available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue. If not then the only payment methods that you can use are those that show on the payment details screen on your account.

You can restore that backup to a replacement iPhone, if that's what you're asking. If you want to extract data from the iPhone backup, you'll need third-party software to do so:

Not with the Apple TV, but if the Smart TV has an AUX port, you can connect it that way.

HT1349 I forgot the answer to my security questions and I don't have a rescue email, whenever I receive a call from apple support it disconnects, is there any other way of resetting security questions?

From a Kappy post
The Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
An alternative to using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Hi all,
The problem is:
I have been using site at different times from different accounts, and I have used autologin thing.
But when last time I opened the site, for some reason Mozilla automaticly logged in with my very old account.
For some reason in Security -> Passwords - I see only 1 "Login" detail for this site.
Is there any possible way to see all Logins (login information) I have used on this site to log-in?
May be some file folder is recording them?
Thanks

If a password is filled then that can only be done if the password is saved in the password manager.<br />
If only the name is filled then that can be done by form fill.
