It seems that I have lost all my photos/catalogs on my Mac - Lightroom 5.  When turning on Lightroom there are no photos listed and nothing comes up.

Upon turning on Lightroom 5 on my Mac Book Pro there are no photos listed in the Library.  I do have external backup but need to understand what might have happened that I have lost the photos and how to get them back into lightroom.  I was editing earlier in the day and now nothing! It is as though I never imported any photos - says photos 0.

Look under File->Open Recent, try the catalogs listed there.

  • My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished.  In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone.  How can I get them back?

    Hi,
    No need to post three times!
    Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
    If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

    You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

  • It seems like I have lost all sounds.

    My phone won't ring nor does the keypad chime when I call out.  It seems like I have lost all sound unless I go in and change the ring tone.  Any ideas?

    Turn off the mute switch.
    Just above the volume controls.  If you see a red dot, it's on mute.

  • Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails.  I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back.  Should not have upgraded?

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb.  Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet.  Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

    Just finished updating web site, saved and published.  Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone!  Fine on the net gone in iweb!  I don't want to loose the days work.  Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work?  Why didn't it save?  Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again?  Where did I go wrong?

    Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to see if the site is all there.  If not
    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I started using my new iphone 5c before syncing to iCloud and have lost all my messages. Can I get them back? Should I have registered the phone as 'new iphone'?

    i got my new iphone a week ago. i started using it straight away, before i knew about icloud and that i could sync all my contacts, etc to the new phone. i then turned on icloud for contacts - this worked fine. today i tried putting my music onto my phone. i clicked 'recognise a B's iphone' in itunes - this has synced music and apps. the only problem is that i have lost all my text messages from the last week. the phone is showing old messages from december 2012 only! can i delete these and get my recent messages back??
    thanks.
    balerina.

    You did more than sync the new iPhone with iTunes since syncing with iTunes does not include text messages.
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the device as a new iPhone.
    The former replaces all data on the iPhone that is included with the selected backup for the other iPhone or iOS device. The latter does not.
    If a backup for your new iPhone was not created with iCloud or if created and has been updated since the backup was transferred from the other iPhone or iOS device, the previous data on the new iPhone is gone.

  • HT4623 I have lost all the use of all the location in-built apps- wi-fi ....etc. can you help

    I have lost all the in-built location apps - wifi etc

    Lost as in "they're not there anymore" or as in "they don't work anymore"? If the second, make sure Location Services is enabled in Settings / Privacy / Location Services, and that the desired apps are allowed to make use of the info.

  • I have changed some numbers in a box at startup and i have lost all my savedsites ( favourites )

    everything still works but i have lost all my saved searches

    Did you refresh/reset Firefox?
    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • While I was updating my ipod touch there was an error and it said my ipod needed to be restored so I did that but I seemed to have lost all the photos I had on my ipod.  Is there anyway to get them back?

    While I was updating my ipod touch there was an error and it said I needed to restore my ipod.  I restored it from backup but I seem to have lost all my pictures that I had stored on there.  Is there any way to get them back?

    - Try restoring from a backup that include the photos. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you use PhotoStream you should be able to get the last 30 days worth from your PhotoStream. See:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

    After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
    Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
    Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

    Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
    I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
    I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
    All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
    Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip).  It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
    If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
    Regards

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.
