Lightroom Catalog file deleted

I am trying to help a friend who is a LR user. Here is the situation.
I added a 2nd hard drive and more memory to the system.
She them proceeded to copy all folders containing her photos from her older/smaller drive to the new/much larger drive.
Once copied, she verified all files copied and then deleted the old folder on the old drive.
Was able to get LR to see the files on the new drive by adding the folders back in the LR.
However she gets an error when LR starts thet the Catalog file is missing.
She is able to see all the thumbnails in the Library.
What can I do to help get rid of this error message as it apperas (based on some of my readings) that the lrcat file was deleted when she did her cleanup.
Current version is LR 2.7.
Please keep in mind I am not the LR user just the hardware person.

Thanks, I will have to get over there and see if we can get this corrected. All the photos are showing in the Library and the folders are point to the correct location. So restoring the *.lrcat file should fix the problem.
Fingers crossed for when I get back to her.

  • Forgot to move lightroom backup files

    Hi, I recently changed my laptops and in the transition I goofed up with Lightroom 5 backup data. I copied over the lightroom catalog files but forgot to copy the lightroom raw images backup folder, like the ones named 2014, 2015, 1,2, etc. I have the original raw images from my camera sd card. Is there a way I can re-apply the changes I did in my catalogs to these original raw images? I tried the feature find missing raw images, but it did not work. Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks dj_paige! I will try this tonight. I just took a quick glance and still have this question: I dont have the old backup folders (2014, 2015, etc) saved anymore. They are gone. I just have catalog files and raw images on sd card. Not sure if the above link works for this situation as well. Will try it and let you know. Thanks for the comment!

  • HELP! Need to restore corrupt file/recover deleted file from LIGHTROOM Catalog

    Hi,
    I recently edited a wedding I finished and sent to her via WeTransfer.  It showed that she opened the file, so I deleted it off of my computer.  A few days later she said she couldn't open the file because it was corrupt (at this point I couldn't resend because I had deleted it as stated).
    She sent it back to me to see if I could try opening -- but every time I try to open in Lightroom it reads:
    Unexpected Error Opening Catalog
    The Catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error.
    Can ANYONE help me recover this file?? I've also tried to run a Data Recovery software to retrieve it from the trash, but it won't recognize .lrcat files (it brought up all of the .jpegs, photoshop, .tiff files etc -- but no lightroom catalogs.
    I REALLY really really don't want to have to re-edit 1000 photos again.
    Thanks so much in advance for any advice xo

    Just did the scan (mind you I have NO clue what I'm doing), but I dropped it in the SQLite and clicked "expand" and it came up "Idle".
    I've attached the two messages I got :
    Uh, yeah - it's not an archive and so you don't want to try and expand it as if it was one.
    I'm not sure which SQLite app you are using. I think SQLite Spy is Windows-only, but for Mac, maybe:

    Other Mac users may have more recommendations.
    Once you get a real SQLite app, then open the .lrcat file with it.

  • Catalogs Files to Keep and Catalogs Files to Delete

    How and where do I find and identify the latest working Lightroom Catalog (I think it is "Lightroom 3 Catalog-3.lrcat") and its associated files? And which of the old files in that folder can I delete?

    For Windows (not sure about Mac), in LR go to Edt menu, Preferences... and in the general tab it tells you which is the default catalog.  Under Presets tab it tells you where you've stored presets (click "show Lightroom presets folder"). 
    The Lightroom folder (where your catalog is, go to catalog settings, general tab, and click show) also has a Backups folder for weekly backups of the catalog - keep as many or as few as you like.  There are previews - no need to keep them, they're recreated if they're not there.  The Lightroom settings folder is also in the Lightroom folder (If you've selected "Store presets with catalog" in the presets tab above) which includes your own presets.  In each settings sub-folder are folders for Lightroom presets and your presets.

    Make sure you don't delete any of the database/catalog files. The only file you might need to delete or remove is the preference file.
    Note: database files were created by Lightroom version 1.0 and use the extension  lrdb. Subsequent versions use catalog files for the same purpose and have the extension  lrcat

    If you don't mind losing some if not all of the work you have done already start a new catalog.
    To keep all existing work:
    Make sure that the copied NEF files on the external have the same folder structure as previous.
    Copy the Lr4 catalog to the external and launch it on the laptop by double clicking it. A copy of the catalog will get upgraded for Lr5. This will retain all your work although you will need to reconnect the Folders in the Catalog by pointing them to the new drive.
    You can keep th Catalog on the EHD or move it to the Laptop.....

  • Unexpected error opening catalog after accidentally deleting and recovering catalog file

    I deleted my Lightroom folder by mistake. I have recovered the Lightroom 5 catalog .Ircat file using recovery software but when I try to open it I get the message "Unexpected error opening catalog". Please help!
    I have tried creating a new catalog and importing the .ircat file but I then get told that it is not a valid lightroom catalog.
    I have a lot of photo edits that I really need to recover, I hope someone can help.
    Kind regards, Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I just did the same thing.  What recovery software did you use?? Also, were you ever able to recover your pics?
    Thanks for your help x

  • Lightroom catalog backup find missing file location- please help!

    Hi,
    Before I start, if anyone can answer this question I would be so grateful. I would cry!
    Ok, so let me start.
    Recently I cleared my whole entire mac and backed up everything on a hard drive. when I reinstalled lightroom on my clean mac, I also imported the catalog that I backed up.  It all worked fine, and this post isn't about a lost catalog, or accidentally deleted photos.
    So, what is hapenning is. When I imported my catalog I got an error message, for all the photos and folders. this:
    So I found re-finding the folder, or finding the "missing file location" (which is so annoying because I wished Lightroom just backed up the pictures along with the catalog). But when I found the folder, only some photos showed up and some still displayed the exclamation mark.
    Now I do have all the photos with the exclamation marks in folders on my backup hard drive, BUT they are all unedited raw versions. I honestly cannot go back and edit 2000 photos, especially after me having to clean all of the photos when my camera had over 30 spots of sensor dust on the photos. So those backup photos are what lightroom backed up, but I want to know how I can recover the photos in the lightroom catalog with the edits APPLIED.
    May I PLEASEE get help on this. I am SO STUCK and do not want to mess up ANYTHING at all!
    I would appreciate so much for ANY help! PLEASE!
    Kind regards,
    Josh

  • Lightroom catalog full with no photos deleted photos hard drive

    I deleted photos from my hard drive but the catalog I created in Lightoom still has over 50mb in it but the photos are gone.  can I open this file somehow to see if I can extract any previews I created in lightroom before I deleted the photos by accident and can't get them out the trash?

    Photos are not stored in Lightroom, so you can't get them from Lightroom.
    Your best solutions are, in order:
    Recover photos from trash
    Restore photos from backup copies ... you do make backups of your photos, don't you?
    Use an "undelete utility" program to undelete the photos
    Recover previews from Lightroom ... these will be lower resolution than your original photos, and will be JPGs ... how much lower resolution depends on what options you chose regarding creating previews

  • Delete Lightroom Catalog to bypass Lightroom CC 2015 crash on startup

    !Lightroom 6 (CC 2015) crashes on startup. I'm running Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.3). I've tried the various fixes listed on the forum (restarting the computer, logout/login of Creative Cloud, and numerous uninstall/installs of both Creative Cloud and Lightroom. None of these have worked.
    However, I've found a temporary fix.
    1. Logout of Creative Cloud
    2. Open your photos folder
    3. Delete any Lightroom Catalogs
    4. Login to Creative Cloud
    5. Open Lightroom CC
    6. A dialog window appears: Lightroom Catalog was not found. Choose the option "Choose a different Catalog"
    7. Choose the option "Create a new catalog"
    8. Lightroom now successfully opens.
    To clarify, I'm not trying to open a Lightroom 5 catalog. I'm not even going to bother importing my actual working catalogs until this issue is resolved.
    This option, while successful, is tedious. Is there an easier fix? Is this an issue with file permissions? Or is the process of opening existing catalogs corrupted?

    Jay,
    If you just completed installing Lightroom CC, try signing out and back in and see if it helps. This link explains how:
    sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app

  • Lightroom doesn't delete files.

    I have latest drivers and versions of everything... running lightroom on latest Intel iMac and Intel MacBook.
    I am not sure wether this applied to Lightroom 1 as I never noticed it... but with version 1.1 it does not seem to "Delete from Disk" in the Photos, Delete option... the RAW file is still on my hard drive.
    Anyone else experience this?

    If you have 20 minutes... here is why I found that I was unable to delete or move folders or images when I first started using Lightroom.
    The deletion problem turned out to be the result of two missed (or wrongly checked) options when splitting up my original catalog and exporting it into two smaller catalogs.
    I am aggravated at myself that I screwed up and let it happen -- but I think Lightroom's explanation of the options when importing/exporting catalogs could be clearer and have some warnings of the potential for massive problems...
    Here is what happened to me:
    I exported and created 2 catalogs from my very large initial catalog. I had always imported all of my image files "at current location" and the imports often included files that I really did not need to show in Lightroom. Files that were buried in the root folders from a shoot along with the raws and older high quality jpg, tif or psd images that I wanted imported in Lightroom. This became a drag as I found a lot of "duplicate images" with the same filenames - many that were of low resolution images that had been created in various web galleries and the like over the years. I soon realized I had some 24,000+ images and with probably 20% of those being low resolution images that I wanted to delete from Lightroom.
    I decided that maybe splitting up the large catalog in 2 catalogs - one for Personal and one for Photoshoots -- would be a good place to start in managing my already imported images. In many cases I had already ran many of the images through the Development module and created .tif edits and wanted to make sure everything I had done was also imported into the new catalogs.
    It looks like I misunderstood Lightroom's options and while creating the new catalogs I unintentionally exported the original image files (called "negative files"?) with the exports -- creating duplicates of all images (!) and their folder structure that was in my initial catalog and placing them in the Lightroom catalog folders.
    Not realizing what I did, I dove in to the new catalogs and began going through and removing Gigs of unwanted files both from Lightroom and from disk, rating images and doing color and contrast corrections. I worked on many images ( hundreds for sure )
    It was not until my computer backup gave me the error message that my "disk was full" did I think anything was out of whack. It was strange as I had deleted so much and had carefully deleted them in the exact method required by Lightroom (in Folders, remove from disk etc.) to make sure they were also deleted on disk.
    I checked my original files and saw that my deletions had not taken.... They were mostly still there... and most of my folder moves did not take place either! I was baffled. Then I though, OK... but, that still would not account for my 500GB disk filling up so quick -- I did not even consider the two problems were related. I decided to find out where the meat was... XP does not give good folder size info and I have hundreds of folders on my system so I downloaded a Folder Size program and set it up..
    I was shocked to see that my Lightroom folder now was larger than my original images folder!!! When I looked into the Lightroom folders I found the duplicate folder tree with all the duplicate images! At first I still didn't understand why... only after a lot of head scratching, researching and doing test imports, deletes, and moves, and rehashing my situation, and all possibilities about them, did the actual cause for everything become clear to me...(no answers from the adobe board had close to an answer as no one except me, I guess, could ever get themselves so turned around!)
    Only the new imports were deleting from my original files location... All the images in the new catalogs were deleting images from their own sets of dedicated image files... in the Lightroom folder! which I had not know were created or existed... :-( Yikes... I had done a "Show in Explorer" more than a few times, but was apparently so deep in my folder structure that I never noticed that it all sat in the Lightroom folder and not in my My Pictures folder where I thought the images were being accessed (and deleted from)
    This made for a big confusing mess.
    The reason it appeared that some files deleted and others did not was because I had imported hundreds of new images into the new catalogs and had alway imported them "in their original location" so they were only in the original file structure and they deleted fine.... but all the ones from the catalogs I had created (when I checked that "include original negatives") did not delete in the original file structure -- however they were deleting in the Lightroom catalog folders where they were duplicated... making me think some files deleted or moved while others did not.... [sigh]
    Sooo... rather than trying to figure out how to get back to having my master files only in their original location, and still be able to keep all of the changes that I have made in the new Catalogs -- including knowing which ones I had deleted in the new Catalogs and old catalogs along with the folder structure changes and all... I just "bit the bullet" -- and wrote all that time and work off....[double sigh] I went back to my backups from just before I split out the new catalogs... and pretended those days of work on the new catalogs was never done...
    I re-split the one original catalog from my earlier backup and making sure I didn't include the "negative files" created the new catalogs and went back to editing and deleting....kind of like pretending it never happened....
    So now everything seems a bit DejaVu... but boy am I getting a lot of practice with my Lightroom shortcuts. :-)
    I will never make that mistake again.

  • Can Lightroom references files in a network folder? And can multiple people all share a Lightroom catalog?

    I would like to use Lightroom 5 at work to organize and manage photos. There are 10 people that consistently access the photos and videos. All of the photos and videos are on a network folder/drive. Is it possible for all 10 people to have a copy of Lightroom on their computers and then have a single catalog that all of the computers references? I guess the first question is whether Lightroom can references files on a network folder (if not than my first question isn't really relevant). If it is possible, what happens if two people (or more) have Lightroom open at the same time? Does that cause problems with the database? Please let me know if there is some way to make this work. Thanks..

    Photos can be stored on Network Drives.
    Catalog files cannot be stored on Network drives, and there is no way to allow multi-user access.
    If you need multi-user access, you might want to consider software that allows multi-user access, such as Daminion. (Note: I am not endorsing Daminion, as I have never used it. I simply state that it claims to have a feature you are asking about)

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.

    Hello Forum Members,
    I figured it out. You have to select  the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on  "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

  • Files missing in Lightroom catalog after import?

    I've got an external HD that has 7712 pictures in a single folder. All the files are either .JPG or .CR2 files taken from the same camera, a Canon EOS 5D. After importing the pictures into Lightroom the catalog only shows that 6712 pictures were imported. So there is a difference of 1000 pictures between what is in the folder on my external HD and what was put in the Lightroom catalog. Is there an easy way to determine which of the 1000 files did not get imported into Lightroom?

    It might be that some Raws and Jpegs shared the same base filename, and Lightroom treated them as one Raw+Jpeg.
    Check if your "treat jpegs and raws as separate files" option is selected in Preferences. If it is not, select it, and reimport your folder. Synchronize folder might work too.

  • How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    You can copy your image file  from you PC to your Mac over your home network or via DVD/CD.  You can not install you PC CS5.1 version on you Mac. Its not compatible with MAC OS.  You would need a MAC version of CS5.1 and Mac version serial number to activate it.  Adobe no longer markets CS5 so you most likely will not be able to pay for a platform switch media install.
