Lost all my edits and some folders on conversion in 1.1!

Help! I have to be doing something wrong. After the conversion to 1.1, (library to catalog)all my previous edits (in xmp) except for one folder are gone. Also lightroom decided to only give me about half of the folders in my database! Windows xp, P4 HT 2g of ram. Actually worked great in version 1.0
Add to this the fact that it is now ten times slower than before, and I think I'm screwed! Can anyone tell me what to do? I have weeks of work in those edits.
Thanks
Rod

Rod,
I hesitate to try to answer since there are lots of worms in the can you opened, but here goes.
1. One thing that would be helpful for anyone trying to answer is your system hardware configuration.
2. Have you tried to Synchronize Folders? That may help in finding your data.
3. When you say you opened the Lightroom library in Explorer [some assumptions here] did you actually open the database?
4. If you didn't open the database [btw, I wouldn't do that unless you really are comfortable with working with sQLite] what did you mean by open the library. Was whatever you were looking at a 1.1 db?
5. Ref Q1, do you have only one HD?
6. Have you tried this more than once? Unfortunately, Windows can and does make mistakes and the answer is try at least twice before giving up.
See what I mean about worms. Lots of the answers will lead to more questions.

    I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

  • Lost all my playlists and some music - how to restore?

    I'm running itunes on XP and when I booted iTunes today, all my playlists were missing and lots of music.
    I don't know of any major crashes or problems with my maching, but the music is gone from iTunes. I went to "mycomputer" and actually found all the tunes, but iTunes cannot find them, and of course, I lost all the playlists. (I've got multiple playlists for each family member and 2 bands in which I play....)
    Any ideas on how to restore the playlists and tunes? Why won't iTunes find the music that is actually in the iTunes music folder? I know i could probably drag all the tunes into iTunes again, and then make new playlists but it would take a lot of organizing......grrr
    Also, I have almost everything saved on my iPod. Is there some way i can transfer it all back to iTunes from my iPod?
    thank you,

  • Lost all information for last 6 month my computer was force  restarted LR was open. when I opened my LR it asked me for my licence information and then it only showed pictures and edits and collection from 6 monht ego. I lost all my edits and hard work

    I don't know what to do!!! all my work is lost. I still have al my raw files but no one single colecction created for more then 6 month what to do???? I have 2 days to deliver a work of 1 month... Please HELP!!!!!

    Sounds like you are using an obsolete version of your xxxxx.lrcat file.  I don't use Apple, but surely there is a way of searching for a file anywhere on your disk drive.  Search for all files with the extension .lrcat -- i.e., search for *.lrcat.  This should bring up a screenful of your backup and non-backup catalog files.  Double-click on the most recent ones to see if they are what you are looking for.

  • TS1702 I have just updated my OS and now i have lost all my data and some apps will not reinstall from my computer.  Having to install from the cloud is slow as the band width is small here..  any advise

    I have just updated my IPADs OS to 6.1.2 this caused it to crash and i had to do a restore on the IPAD. Now some of the apps that i have will not reinstall directly from my computer.  living in a country with a slow internet,  uploading from the cloud is painfully slow.  Is there some way to get around this

    also must mention i have never had trouble that i couldn't fix on itunes but all of this has started since i have been using icloud for basic backups hope this helps solve problem

  • HT4859 My yahoo account was hacked. I lost all my contacts and my folders. Is there a way to get them back through icloud since I back all that up there?

    How do I go back to the date my email account was hacked and retrieve my information?

    Where is your basic address book? On Yahoo? Or outlook? Check those two. If are in Yahoo try to export from there and import to outlook. Then close contact syncing on emails account in your iPhone and sync through iTunes. Omes you have your contacts in iPhone open Contacts in iCloud settings (iPhone) and look if its syncs. If yes uncheck Contacts syncing in iTunes (under info tab) and keep syncing through iCloud.

  • I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

    I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks Again, Ronald

    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.

  • 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 updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 6 and I lost all my photos and apps

    I'm very worried because I updated my ipod touch 4g and I lost all my apps and photos, what can I do to recover my apps and photos?.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • I updated my iPhone and lost all photos, videos and e-mail accounts. How do I get them back?

    I updated my iPhone yesterday (simply to get rid of the reminder that was bugging me).  The last time I updated the phone everything went fine, my settings, ringtones, messages photos etc all backed up perfectly.  This time around all my photos are gone, my videos have disappeared, ringtones are back at factory settings and my e-mail accounts are all gone.  I've also lost all my messages which is a real bummer because there were contact details in some of them.  I've tried restoring the phone from iTunes and going back to a previous backup but no joy.  Can anyone help?
    Failing that can anyone tell how best to complain to Apple??? (Would anyone give a "s h one t" anyway!)  Aaaaggghhhh!

    I have lost all my photos and videos in iTunes as well.  I don't understand how all my music transferred over but not those? 
    Pictures were never in iTunes.  iTunes is not a photo management program.  It is merely a tool that allows syncing of a specified folder to an iDevice.  Was the folder that was being synced copied from the old computer to the new computer?
    John Hanniffy wrote:
    Another weird thing is that some of my Apps 'changed' in the upgrade and now don't work (e.g. Group Text App reverted to the 'free' Ad bearing version whereas I previously had the 'paid' No-Ad version installed).
    That leads me to believe they were not in the Apps folder in iTunes... maybe they were never transfered to the computer.  These can be downloaded again via iTunes or directly on the device.

    As I said in my initial post the thing that really bugs me is the loss of my SMS texts.  I don't see any way of backing those up on iTunes and when I previously upgraded the iPhone software they, along with all my settings, transferred over seamlessly.
    SMS/MMS/iMessage is included in the backup of the device done via iTunes.  Restoring of that backup will put all the content back.  This should also restore the email account setup

  • 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

  • I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
