LOST a Wedding with lightroom 3.0 HELP !!!!

I am praying someone can help me. Lightroom 3.0 did not import & copy over 2,700 of my recent wedding images correctly. Only ~900 were saved to the correct source folder. The missing 1,600 are gone. I did NOT double check carefully but have NEVER had an issue in over 3 yrs with version 1 or 2 & simple took it for granted!!! Never Again!!!
I recovered ~120 with recovery software this morning.
I know there is a way to extract the previews as low-res jpegs but the only info I can find on the internet is for version 2.3 with photo.bragit.com.
LRViewer also does not work with version 3. Can anyone help!!!! I would be so greatful!!!
I can also be emailed directly at [email protected]

Thank you all so much. I just recovered 1800 or so from a readable flash card that wasn't reused since the wedding. i used my old version of lightroom 2 and it was able to detect images from 3 different dates although not even all the dates are still on the card. It's a miracle!!!
same as before i am coping & backing up in 2 locations & there appears to be no problem. I will continue to use version 2 until some of 3's issues are worked out. I talked to a manager today & he said they are working on it but it will be about a month or so for the updated version to fix 3's issues. I hope LRViewer will also update their software for 3. Adobe will not offer support for LR Viewer or give any advice on manually extracting pre-views as a low-res jpeg. Sometimes newer is NOT always better !
Thanks for all the help!!!!

  • I've lost OpenGL support with KVM switch. Help!

    I have a Win7 64 machine and an XP machine at work. I installed an Iomega KVM switch to use the same monitor/keyboard/mouse with both computers. Problem is, once I installed the KVM, Photoshop can't detect my video card, so I lose OpenGL support. Very irritating. Anyone had this problem and/or know of a solution? Thanks!

    Did you reboot Windows after plugging the monitor into the computer?
    On another note, it's possible a recent video driver update changed the behavior.  Photoshop queries the OpenGL system for its capabilities, and if something's gotten broken Photoshop might not allow the OpenGL operations.  What video card do you have?
    There is a workaround you can try - a registry tweak - that will instruct Photoshop to use OpenGL calls anyway:
    Go to this site:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4056
    Download the file and extract AllowOldGPUS_ON.reg.  You don't say which version of Photoshop you're using, but if it's CS4 the file is good to use as is.  If CS5 then you'll need to edit the file with a text editor to change 11.0 to 12.0.  Make sure you're an Administrator and double click the file to enter it into your registry.

  • Plug-ins in Color Efex do not work when used with Lightroom? really need help

    Dear all,
    I am suffering the problem with some plug-ins (some others still okey) of Color Efex when I use them with Lightroom. Specifically, the image I chose to edit in Color Efex turned black as I tried to apply a plug-in, ex Detail extractor. Pls see the pic below:
    Before
    ...and After
    I am using Win XP and wondering whether this is the root of this problem? Pls help me for a solution if you know it.
    Many thanks for reading and supporting!

    Dear all,
    I emailed Nik team and it is just exact as what you said, they are very helpful and supportive when provide me several of solutions. Thank god one amongst them solves my issue completely. I performed the following steps:
    If you are able to open Color Efex Pro 4and can see part of the interface, see if you can click on the"Settings" button in the lower left.
    In Settings locate the section "GPU" and expand it, in this section you will see a check box "Enable GPU Processing", uncheck this so the GPU will be disabled, then close the settings window.
    Close out of Color Efex Pro 4 (click Cancel), quit out of any and all host applications (Photoshop,Lightroom, Aperture), and then relaunch Color Efex Pro 4 to see if this corrects this issue.
    Thank to Nik team and you guys here. I'm now able to work with my new project better

    Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
    Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
    of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
    When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
    function in the software, I don't get it.
    When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
    working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
    to work with, without being connected to them.
    I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
    without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
    the license fpr LR5 via internet.
    Best regards
    Karl

  • Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    well the reason I wanted to talk to someone live because it would take forever to explain everything on here But anyway, here goes. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook with Intel Core i5-323om CPU @2.60 GHz and 8 gb ram 64bit. I am trying to run Lightroom 5.7 on my laptop and having major issues. I use an external hard drive for the storage of my photos. When I try to use Lightroom I run into many issues: Flickering of the screen, freezing up, slow, the loading circle just goes round and round lol. If I go to the washroom or leave the computer for even a minute it freezes up. I have to keep pressing Ctr/alt/delete to bring it back when it flickers. I have to constantly exit out of the program and restart it to be able to edit even just a couple of photos and then it starts acting up again.
    I have tried un-installing and re-installing, updating everything on my pc, changing compatibility settings, updating development settings, I even took the laptop into have it looked at and they did all kinds of updates etc...and still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. I have gone through the lists of troubleshooting for LR problems and there just seem to be nothing that works.....I have made new catalogues, moved them, tried using the software on my pc without the EHD, etc etc.......I have tried EVERYTHING...I think.....so I was looking for some answers as to why this is happening....

  • Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated

    Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G?. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated.

    You can't track it with the serial number.  If you had an iPod Touch running iOS 5 later AND set up Find my IPod on it, then there is a chance you might be able to locate it by going to www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID and clicking Find my IPod.  Of course, the iPod still needs to be on and connected to a Wi-Fi network in order for it to be located.
    If nothing else, report it to the police and change any and all passwords to any accounts you set up or used on the iPod.
    Apple otherwise cannot help you.

  • I have a disconnect between my external hard drive and lightroom 5.6.  The recommended steps do not connect 11000 photos on the hard drive.  How can I connect?  I am concerned I have lost my edits in lightroom.

    I have a disconnect between my external hard drive and lightroom 5.6.  The recommended steps do not connect 11000 photos on the hard drive.  How can I connect?  I am concerned I have lost my edits in lightroom.

    after some sorting out your article, I clicked on a question mark with the message find the missing folder.  This brought me to a page where I could choose a folder by year and click on it.  The question marks disappeared and the photos were available.  In some cases I had to click on the year folder for each subfolder by date.
    The find missing folders message did not bring me to the finder window in which I could click on folders in the hard drive itself.  I appreciate your help big time!!

  • Photoshop CS5/Lightroom 3 integration issue - "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" does not work

    When clicking "Edit Copy with Lightoomroom Adjustments" from Lightroom, I get an error in Lightroom 3 complaining that the Camera Raw plug-in is not up to date; full message below.
    "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.1 for full compatibility.
    Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera Raw 4.6, the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require Photoshop CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
    The version of Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 0.0."
    After I click "Open Anyways", Photoshop CS5 is initiated but it seems to have lost context of why it is opened and asks me what file I want to open (i.e. the Open As dialog).
    "Edit Copy" and "Edit Original" from Lightroom 3 works as expected and opens images fine in Photoshop, CS5 however.
    My installation is on Windows 7. I currently also have Lightroom 1.4 and Photoshop CS3 installed. Everything worked fine with the old configuration. I also tried the same workflow in Lightroom 1.4 again just now, which is now linked to CS5 instead of CS3. The "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" also work just fine.
    Things that I have tried but do not worked:
    I did an Update via the Help -> Update menu, and also manually downloaded the Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in.
    Blew away the Photoshop preferences file
    Made sure that Lightroom 3 points to Photoshop for editor
    I'm thinking that I'll try uninstall CS3 next. Anyone else encountered this issue?

    [CS5.1 (12.1) ACR 6.5RC / LR 3.5RC; MacbookPro 4gb Leopard 10.5.8 ] As a Lightroom instructor, up until now this has been a vexxing problem to explain to my students. Even if ACR in Photoshop is up to date (I just downloaded 6.5RC and installed the PS Plugin), I still get the error when attempting to edit from Lightroom 3.5RC. I deleted the PS prefs file to no avail. I was not willing to re-install Photoshop as a solution (per some blog's suggestion), although that might be the ultimate answer. But what an ordeal if so!
    For a solution, I went back to a resolution I devised when I had a CS3 compatibility problem with LR3. I went into the Preferences of Lightroom and manually chose the Photoshop app as the "custom" image editor. I went back to edit the file in PS from Lightroom and the ACR error disappeared. Try it. Yes, this means you need to use the Custom editor as your image editor, but it seems to have resolved the issue.
