Lost all edits!

So.. I went to pull an image for a vendor from a wedding I had shot way back in January… I added a few to the quick collection. Fine right? Now when I look through the master files in the hierarchy, ALL of the edits are lost, including color labels, starring, flagging, etc. The only images that were not affected are any duplicates that I converted to black and white. What in the world could have happened??? I swear I did not change a thing with the catalog or moving files on disk etc. Can I import from an older backup of a catalog to restore my edits?

It sounds as if somewhere along the line you have clicked on the reset button with all of your images highlighted. IF you have a backup catalog that contains all of the edits you can use that catalog. That is one of the main purposes for having backups.I

Lost all edits before 2010

Hello,
I have been a Lightroom user 2008 and am currently using version 5.7. I recently went to look at some images from 2008 and 2009 and they have all lost the edits I have done to them. However, from 2010 to present the edits are intact. I never lost or changed the catalog and I have been religious in doing catalog backups. I even opened some old backup catalogs from 2012 but they still don't contain the edits from 2008 and 2009. When I first try to open these old pictures, they show up with the edits for only a split second and then revert to the original raw (nef) file appearance. Has anyone else run into this problem before. I tried searching for an answer but have been unsuccessful. Thanks in advance.
Greg.

This may have been discussed, above, already... Did you have LR set to write settings to XMP metadata automatically? If so, the XMP would have a snapshot of the last settings you applied to the image, and you could re-read from XMP files and get that snapshot of settings back.
If you do have XMP files for the old photos w/o history, the first thing to do is temporarily turn off auto-writing of XMP settings so it doesn't overwrite the old settings with nothing. Auto-XMP writing is a catalog setting so you have to turn it off for each catalog you open.
The make a copy of your catalog and make a copy of the XMP files (or the images themselves, i.e. JPGs, if they aren't raws) and then as soon as you open the catalog and switch to a folder, initiate a Read Metadata from Files operating in Library with your images selected, and see if the last edit comes back.

Digital editions wasn't responding and I had to force quit it and lost all my highlights. Is there anyway I can find the copy of the ebook with all my highlights?

Same happened to me. Any suggestions on how to retrieve them?

IPhoto just crashed and i lost all my work (edits, albums, etc.) is there any way to recover it?

iPhoto just crashed and i lost all my work (edits, albums, etc.) is there any way to recover it? i'm using a mac os x lion version 10.7.5.

what version of iPhoto?
try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Upgraded to LR5 and lost all my edits - can anyone help?

Hi there
My iMac was returned to me following a repair by Apple - they did a clean wipe & reinstall.
I backed up all my photos beforehand (I was previously using LR4).
I just upgraded to LR5 and have imported all the photos. However, I appear to have lost all the work I did in LR4 - all my edits, and 'flagged' images etc. Is there any way of recovering this? Otherwise I've lost several weeks worth of work.
Thanks

This means the files are not in the location that the catalog was expecting.
You need to EITHER mirror exactly the file structure of your old machine OR right click (cmd-click?) on your highest level folder within Lightroom and select "Update Folder Location". This should bring up a window that allows you to browse to the new location of your photos and select it. If there's not a high level folder that covers all your photos you'll need to do this one folder at a time.
Tutorials are a good idea if you're un-clear about anything but the Catalog is essentially "just" a database. It stores the locations of all of your files, the metadata associated with them and all the adjustments you've made.

I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and lost all the changes and editing I had made to 4000 photos every photo reverted back to the original

A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!

Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
I was there when the tech rebuilt the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.
There are no stuck keys on my keyboard of my computer.

8830 World Edition suddenly lost all mail from before yesterday and call log cleared

I have one our resident higher ups who have lost all there mail on there device. They are receiving mail now but anything befroe yesterday is gone. Also there call log has been cleared.
I have already deleted and reactivated them on our BES and that was no help.

For the end-user, s/he needs to clear up some memory on the device....
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free?
Now, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot. What is the File Free now?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

I lost all my Photo's in IPHOTO

Hello,
I lost all my Photo's in IPHOTO today
I will try to outline what I have done. Some months ago I took old photograph-files of my windows computer by means of an external hard disk. Afterwards I had the following experience: each time that I started Iphoto I received a note "13 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported." Then it tells me "The photos have been placed in a folder. The folder is stored in my file/images/library/no..... it counts up every day. Today it reached no. 56. I tried to throw away all that garbage. By means of finder I have gone to the images/library and saw those 56 items listed there. I wanted them all thrown away at the same time. I have slid them then all 56 in each other, then you hear a sound of 'plik' every time and when done I dragged to the dustbin. As I returned to Iphoto, everything was empty 244 folders with over 28,000 photo' s. The files are all grey. If I select a photo then I get a light grey screen with !-sign. What remaine are the file-names and the numbering of the 28,000 photo's. So I have 28,000 grey screens but without the photo's that correspond with them.
I tried to import Photo's with the Iphoto- archive-import button from the library in finder. But there were only the 56 files with the 13 photo's that could'nt be opened every time I started Iphoto.
I already tried to restore it by finder, but the photo's are not listed there.
I'am desperate. I hope that someone can help me.

FileSalvage will only find image files. You won't be able to recover your library as it was previously.
The Originals folder will be inside the iPhoto Library package. You can open the package like this. Look inside the Originals folder and it's subfolders for your image files. If they are not there then continue with FileSalvage. If you find that your image files are still inside their subfolders you can partially recreate your library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
In the future NEVER go inside the iPhoto LIbrary package from the finder and consider using the tip at the end of my signature below.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I've lost all my events and photos in iPhoto

Recently converted to all things Mac.
I use iphoto to categorise all my photos and events and faces, basically everything. I then use Aperture to create projects and import from my iphoto library the selected photos I want to work with only.
For some reason or another, I cannot tell you how or why it happened, I cannot open aperture anymore cause it tries to open a file only desktop which i think it thinks is a backup file but says " "xxxxxxx.aplibrary" is an iPhoto library and cannot be opened in Aperture". Thing is that I cannot open it on Iphoto either and I lost all my photos in iPhoto. Where can they be stored? There is nothing in the Trash and there isn't a file where photos are kept from what I gather they are stored within the app. If the problem is the app then I need to uninstall it meaning I loose over 2000 photos!?!?!?
Serves me right not to back up on a hard drive.
Anyone understand my dilema and offer a suggestion on how to retirve my photos?

I strongly suggest that you use another application as an external editor for iPhoto. Aperture is not an edior. Like iPhoto it's a Digital Asset Manage - that is, a database. Trying to use it as an extension of iPhoto is adding complexity to your workflow.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Lost all my iphone content in itunes

for some reason I have lost all my iphone content that was previously stored in my itunes. all my applications are gone and so is my music. anything that i have downloaded to my phone, no longer shows up in my itunes library on my computer. i have attempted to "manually" manage my music, but get the warning that all the content saved on my phone will be replaced with the content in my itunes library, which has nothing, so I don't want to do that and lose everything that is on my phone. i did the troubleshooting provided by apple with syncing, but that didn't help. i even unistalled itunes and re-installed it hoping it would then collect all the stuff off my phone and save it. any help out there?

You can "Transfer Purchases" from your iPhone, but if you didn't back up your iTunes library, you're screwed. Check your iTunes library folder (usually located in My Documents > My Music > iTunes) to see if the content is still there, just not showing up in iTunes.

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

I D/L'd a trial version of LR 5 and lost all my catalog and collections in LR 4. What can I do to get them back?

Yesterday I D/L'd a trial version of LR 5.6 and during installation it seemed to be copying my catalog from my LR 4.4. Now nearly all of my catalog and all my collections in LR 4 have disappeared. What has happened to them andhow do I get them back. The original photos seem to still be available in the myphotos directory on the computer, but without any of my lightroom editing.

Thank you so much! I was freaking out that I had lost the whole
catalog and all my collections. It would have been good if Adobe
support had been able to point me in the right direction with this
advice. They basically shrugged their shoulders and said tough
luck! I am not impressed!
Thanks again, Anne
