Library Gone After Updating to LR 1.2

I'm just starting with this product. Had images in a version 1.1 Library. Got prompted as to availability of version 1.2 for download and did so. To experiment and learn a bit more, I imported one RAW file from my hard drive. Now it's the only image in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. My former Library of images is gone.
A little more info: I don't keep my images in the default Documents and Settings\My Photos (or whatever it is). In my C:\ drive I have created a folder/directory called Photos. All of my image files reside there and in various sub-folders therein.
But, how can I find my old Library, which I understand is essentially a database holding information and settings for the images in the Library, not the actual images themselves? Thanks.
Kurt

Thanks, but I did that before posting my message and it only came up with the new one I referred to ... with the single image I imported in version 1.2. And it is located in the My Documents and Settings\My Photos. I could've put the Library from 1.1 there though.
I started with version 1.0 (not the Beta version) and I don't think the term "Catalog" was used then. Was there another extension for files containing the Library back in version 1.0?
Or I wonder if somehow I am inadvertently reduced the view down to one image. I don't have any star or color filters invoked.

  • IPhoto Library gone after update to OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

    Put another way, how do I get the new "Photos" program associated with the new OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.3 to see my former iPhoto library that is stored on an external hard drive?
    Here's the full story:
    This morning I updated my MacBook Air to OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.3.  The update claimed that it ran successfully.  Afterwards, I plugged in my iPhone to sync it to the computer.  There were photos on my phone that I'd taken yesterday, so when I plugged the iPhone in to the USB cable, a program launched that I thought was iPhoto (but, as it turns out, is actually a new Apple program called simply "Photos").  I was led through a series of questions, one of which was "do you want to download your photos to iCloud?"  I did not want to download my photos to the cloud; first off, I've got like 100GB of photos and second off, even if there were that much space allowed with an iCloud account, I wouldn't have wanted to take the time.  After skipping that download-to-the-cloud step, the new "Photos" program downloaded the pictures taken yesterday off of my phone and deleted them from my iPhone as I'd requested.  But, when the transfer from phone to computer completed, I was taken to the new Photos program and the only pictures on my account are those that were downloaded this morning from my iPhone.
    Because I've got so many photos I keep my iPhoto Library on an external hard drive.  I keep two additional external hard drives that back up everything every night.  I am not worried about the photos being lost, but I can't figure out how to get the new "Photos" program to go find that library on my external hard drive.
    All help appreciated.

    To migrate your existing library to Photos is simple: just open it.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You problem is that you will no have two libraries - the converted iPhoto one and the one you created with just these iPhone photos.
    So I would export the pics from the new Photos Library to the Finder: (File -> Export-> Export unmodified  originals
    Trash the Photos library from your Pictures Folder
    Convert the iPhoto Library
    Then import those photos from the Finder.

  • Library gone after update

    Upgraded to iTunes 9 and now my library only has one song in it. Followed the directions to restore the music library.xml file with no luck, still only one song.
    Now what?

    My library is missing too
    and I followed someone else's instructions to trash the new Itunes 9 and B/U my libraries
    What is that Back up? I wich he'd waste the time on the extra four key strokes.
    I can find those libraries and I thought I had them backed up additionally on an external drive
    all of the files I find are empty.
    Things are looking bleak...

    photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

  • IBooks library vanished after update

    After updating my iOS to the latest version recently, I was dismayed to find everything gone from my iBooks library. Does anyone know if Apple is going to bother to remedy this unpleasant surprise for future updates?
    I recommend backing up your pdf books by opening them in Adobe reader or Kindle reader for iPad to make sure important texts aren't lost.

    Get your terminology straight ... No - if you did what KP suggested - according to your response - you reset the iPad - you did not restart it. I suggested a restart - and a sync again.
    Two different things ...
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You could try quitting all apps and then restart and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • All music gone after update

    After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

    You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

  • My itunes libary has gone after updating itunes

    Hi , after updating my itunes to 11.0.2 i've opened itunes and everything in my libary has gone, its wiped all photos and i was wondering if there was anyway off getting it back as i don't want to have to create all playlists again

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HELP: library empty after update 11.02.26

    Hi,
    I just installed the new iTunes version 11.02.26. After I opened iTunes my whole library was empty, playlists, music, video's... It's all gone.
    I restarted my laptop (windows 8) to see if that would fix te problem but it didn't work. I als got the error -42110 and I fixed it by deleting the 'SC Info' folder.Than I restarted my laptop again, but still no sign of my old library with all the playlists.
    Than I installed the old version of iTunes back to what it was, (11.01) but my library was still missing.
    Please HELP if anyone knows how to fix this. I have had days of work to organize my playlists! And I need to synchonize my iPhone for my work as soon as possible without losing any of my settings, music, agenda, etc.
    Thank you VERY much!
