Lightroom not "remembering" orientation of photos?

A few days ago I opened a wedding that I was working on and Lightroom started to rotate all my Portrait images back to landscape. I had already corrected the orientation of the photos days ago. I was about 2/3 the way through all my images when this happened. Fortunately all my other adjustments, exposure, cropping, WB etc were kept.
If I open past shoots now, the same thing happens. Again, all the other data is kept, just the orientation is going back to default.
Is there a chance that I have a corrupt catalog? Can I load one of my backup catalogs that I did prior to this happening?
Thanks,
Brian

I'd first suspect the image Previews being corrupt, especially the file: Previews.lrdata/thumbnail-cache.db
Try deleting the thumbnail cache, reopen LR, and choose a folder to rebuild previews, to check if that's it.

Lightroom not going to next photo after deleting a photo

I would have sworn that for a long time (at first) when I'd delete a photo from disk Lightroom would automatically go to the next photo. That's not the case now. I delete a photo, and then lightroom goes to a black screen that says "no photo selected". If I use the right arrow it goes to the very end of the whole collection (which is problematic when you're going through 3000 photos, and then you try to find where you finished). Otherwise, you have to find and click on the next photo to display it. This is a pain. Anyone know how to get it to just go to the next photo automatically upon deleting a photo?
Thanks, Ester

I am deleting it with the Delete button. Then a message pops up saying 'do
you want to permanently delete from disk?' I say "yes" , and it goes to
blank screen saying "no photo selected". I'm not sure a screen shot will
help you since I can't document with keyboard buttons I'm pressing in a
screen shot...
Any thoughts as to how to get it to go to 'Next photo' instead?
Thanks, Ester

Lightroom not importing or recognizing photos

Hi there,
Lightroom is having some serious issues importing photos from my Canon 7D. In the import window, only 2-10 photos will show up with thumbnails, the rest all say "Preview unavailable for this file."
If I select the ones with thumbnails, and say "import," a window comes up that says:
" the following files were not imported because they could not be read"
I'm using a Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You need to determine if the CR2 files are ok and LR can’t see them due to file-permission issues or file-system corruption or hardware or driver problems, or if the CR2 files are corrupted and unrecognizable as RAW, the latter being much more serious.
First, you might post a download link for one of the files to the forum so others can examine it, to see if it seems ok or not. If you don’t have your own large-file-hosting site, then you can use www.YouSendIt.com to upload and send the file to your own e-mail and then post the download link, here.
Many programs that claim to handle RAW files merely know how to extract the camera-embedded preview, which is a JPG, so to test for RAW data corruption you can try Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software that came with your camera. Open one of the files and see if you use DPP’s File / Convert and Save to export a JPG from the RAW file. The initial thumbnails in DPP come from the embedded JPG so that won’t tell you too much, but to save as a JPG, DPP will have to make sense of the RAW data. If DPP cannot Export a JPG from the files, then the files, themselves, are probably corrupted.
If the CR2 files seem ok to DPP then please describe more details of the process you use to import them, initially, on the netbook, and then again on the other computer. I have an XSi and always use a card-reader and Explorer to copy the files to my external hard-drive then Add (import) from there. I keep my photos and LR library on an external hard-drive so I can work on them between several computers.
If the files seem ok on one system but not the other it could be a permissions issue, but since you don’t use LR on the netbook something else may be occurring that is more complicated.

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

I have downloaded the latest version of Lightroom but I so not see the option Photo Photo Merge in order to use the new HDR

Cannot figure out what is wrong. It says my lightroom is up to date but not showing the option photo>photo merge so I can use the new HDR function in Lightroom. Is anyone else having this problem?

Contact Adobe. That is what I finally had to do. the number is 1-800-833-6687. There was a problem with a file. They took over my computer and got everything working for me.

It is possible that you have the rotation lock on? Check this:

HT1212 I can not remember my passcode on my iphone 4s. I tried it 5 times told me to try again in 60 minutes. Will I lose all my photos, data, contexts and texts if I try again. Or is there a way to restore it? I do not have an icloud or itunes account.

I believe if you really cant remember it, you can restore your phone by plugging it into itunes. This would wipe your data, but hopefully you've already backed up your phone via iTunes or iCloud.

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read. HELP!

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read. SO FRUSTRATING.

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

Why does lightroom not display photos ?

Hello,
all of a sudden lightroom tells me "no photo selected " when I try to open a folder.All the folders are visible but the photos cannot be displayed.I am using lightroom 4.1
The last editing was done less then 12 hours ago without any problems.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
1journey

Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
Thank you kindly ,

Does it show an image count on the folders in the folder panel?
What does show if you select a folder in library?

Lightroom not showing all photos avail for import

About a week ago, I tried to import some new photos into LR 3 (3.4.1 to be exact), and the import dialogue does not show all the photos that should be available for import.
The files are on my hard drive and there are approximately 200 photos in the file folder. When I open LR's import dialogue to import the photos (after navigating to the proper location to import from of course), it shows me 17 of the photos in the file folder! I selected "all" instead of "new" to see if that would make a difference and it did not. I made sure I did not have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, even closed LR and rebooted my computer.... that didn't work.
I tried creating a new catalog to see if that would fix the issue, and it did not.
I'm not sure what else to try, or if there is a known fix out there (having a heck of a time finding one in my internet search!)
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!
-KBP

Okay, so for giggles I tried checking in the Bridge to see if that changed anything... and it only showed the few files too. So I decided to "select all" and noticed at the bottom left that it listed the balance of my photos as "hidden." I have no idea how my files got hidden, or why it was only some and not others... but at least it's all fixed now and I can get back to what I need to do in LR!

When I use lightroom mobile it does not show all the photos in my camera roll. I have 57 and it only shows 32

WHen I use lightroom mobile I have 57 photos on my iphone . I transfer them to my ipad and then I try to put them in Lightroom mobile from my ipad camera roll and only 32 show and transfer

Same problem here, and with even fewer photos. There should be 14 photos (per the LR collection info), but when I view on my iPhone (5s), only 11 appear. They do all appear on my computer. I've tried the following to make it work on my phone:
Creating a new collection and importing there. It says one photo is in the collection, but none actually appear.
Completely shutting down and rebooting the iPhone.
Deleting and re-downloaded the app.
None of these have worked.

Can not drag and drop photos in Lightroom 4 map module

In Lightroom4 map module, I can not drag and drop photos onto the map from the filmstrip? I select the photos, and then try and grabbing them to drop them on the map and when I click on one of the pictures to grab, it deselects the others I've selected and only hightlights the one photo, ironically, I can not even drop the one photo onto the map.

Thank you Victoria. I thought I was grabbing it on the thumbnail, but I must not have been, I must have been as you said on the border. Sorry.
Thank you again for the help.

Library panel folders state not remembered

I am using LRM3 on Win 7. LRM does not remember the state of the folders in the panel when I re-open the application. For example if I have my folders organized by year. I open 2004 browse to some file. Then I close the folder tree at 2004 and then open 2007 and select a sub folder. I then close the application and reopen it. It shows both 2004 and 2007 folders open even though I shut (collapsed) the 2004 folder before quitting the program. This can be quite annoying when you have lots of folder as the folder with focus, i.e. 2007 subfolder is way off the bottom of the screen. Does everyone have this problem, i.e is it a feature or a bug?

rgb964 wrote:
I have a similar problem with LRM3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. But it's even worse. Not only does Lightroom insist on opening three of my top-level folders when it starts, it does this every time I perform an operation that affects the file system. For example, with all folders closed, I open folder X, and rename X/OldName to X/NewName. Upon confirming the change, folder X/OldName changes to X/NewName, but then A/ B/ and C/ all open. I can't tell you how much time and mouseclicking this has wasted for me.
I've tried your Alt-Click method for closing the folders, however that doesn't help. A/ B/ and C/ always open at startup and anytime I modify the file system. I've even totally uninstalled Lightroom and re-installed, but that didn't help. Whatever the problem is, it must be in the catalog. I verify and backup the catalog every time I quite Lightroom after doing real work.
Any suggestions from anyone?
OK, I've fixed my problem I hope. After uninstalling and re-installing LR3, I created a new catalog. Then I imported all the photos from my previous catalog using "Import from Catalog..." This took an entire evening. Then I shut down Lightroom. I have it set to backup every time I shut down, and I always set it to verify and optimize the catalog. The backup took quite a while also. Now, my three folders that always opened on startup and anytime I touched the file system all stay closed under those circumstances.
Curiously, my installation of Lightroom still does not remember folder states. It now always starts with all folders closed, even if I left top-level or subfolders open when I shut it down. But this is fine with me!
