Lightroom crashed EVERY SINGLE file and photograph is gone! There is a file on my screen bearing the title of what I was looking at prior to the crash, but says, "DATA". What IS that and where did all of my stuuf go??

A few nights ago a message appeared in Lightroom, but before I could read it, it shut down. Yesterday, I opened it up again to resume with my assignment and it said my files were damaged. On the third try I got my work and all went well. Today as I was looking at my newest images and flagging them, Lightroom shut down 'again'. This time it took every saved file and photograph. I noticed a weird file on my monitor screen thereafter, "DATA........Irdata. What is that? If this is where everything is, how do I get it back....and into Lightroom? What is happening?

Could you post a screen capture of your (User name)> My Pictures> Lightroom folder. Like the posted screen capture.

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • How do I sync my iPhone to iTunes on a new computer without losing everything? My old laptop's hardrive crashed and I just got it back. Now I want to sync my iPhone but it keeps telling me that it'll replace all my audio, but then I'd have no songs.

    I just lost EVERYTHING on my computer. All I have left now are my songs and photos on my iPhone. Once I got my laptop back with a brand new hardrive, I was anxious to sync my phone up to iTunes. I felt that once I had all my things on my computer, I wouldn't have to worry so much about my phone getting stolen or broken or something. (My family has a bad history with accidentally washing our phones in our laundry...) I downloaded iTunes and waited an hour for the sync to back up my phone. Once that was done, I looked in my library expecting an extremely long and comforting list of songs to appear on the screen. However, there was absolutely nothing. I looked under the music tab on my phone and checked the Sync Music box only to be greeted with a scary window threatening to replace the songs on my iPhone with the songs in my library. That would be all fine and dandy IF I actually HAD songs in my library... HELP ME. I live on my music, for my music, and because of my music. Plus, I've purchased every last song on there and I would be very, very, very, very, very angry if all those 99 cent songs (which add up) were to disappear. I'd be very, very angry indeed. Oh and my artwork is all messed up on my recent purchases for some reason. Technology doesn't like me.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • HT204023 I have recently plugged my iphone 5 into a laptop which had an iphone 4s registered with Itunes. and I was looking to simply sync the music files to my iphone. However i have lost all my files and can not retrieve my Hotspot connection on the wif

    I have plugged my new Iphone 5 into a computer with itunes that had an iphone 4s registered with it. So when I plugged in my Iphone to the laptop I may have clicked something because I was looking to just add the music from the Itunes to my phone. I am a new iphone user and dont really know what I did and am seeking assitance because I have also now lost all my contacts (which have been synced entired to the laptop I lost all my original files and was synced the files from the other iphone4s users profile.) I have also lost the link to locate my personal hotspot when i entir the settings home page. I am wondering I have downgraded my phone or something. What can I do to get my personal hotspot back?

    Restore it from the last backup you made on YOUR computer or iCloud.

  • Updated to iTunes 11.0.1 on my iMac 10.6.8 and it crashes every single time on launch.

    As above, I foolishly updated to iTunes 11.0.1 after a software update prompt on my iMac 10.6.8, thinking I was doing a good thing getting my machine ready for my daughter's new iPad mini tomorrow.
    As it stands, the iPad is going to be such a let down as iTunes is crashing every single time on launch, never my own frustration having no access to my tunes. Thanks a bunch Apple.
    Can someone please state in easy to follow instructions how I might repair iTunes.
    If it helps with a solution, I have a Jan 2012 backup of the app which I cannot open receiving the following message:-
    "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
    The actual error the new iTunes is giving is below:-

    In anticipation, thanks.

    Thanks Mike.
    What I have ended up doing is
    purchasing Snow Mountain 10.8.2 & installing
    doing the disk repairs as you stated
    rebooted
    and eventually things seem okay with iTunes having synced an iPod, viewed playlists and played a load of tunes.
    Disappointed Apple have again failed with a piece of software and have taken £13.99 that I needn't have spent but pleased to not be letting the daughter down tomorrow.
    Thanks for your help Mike.
    Happy Christmas.

  • HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts.  It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

    My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops.  Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes.  I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished.  Any suggestions??

    I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??

    That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
    Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.

  • Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface?

    Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface.
    It is happening on my late 2013 IMAC, and also on my old 2011 Macbook pro.

    Same thing here with Mavericks and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.  Very easy to reproduce, Apple. Set your audio interface for the external device, try to record Photo Booth video. It will crash. Every. Single. Time. Always.
