Lost catalogs after Lightroom 5.6 update

I reluctantly updated Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 last night and the next time I tried to reopen Lightroom my most recent catalogs were gone. My iMac opened Lightroom with catalogs from a year ago. All of my most recent edited catalogs are MIA. The same thing happened the last time I did the update and I never did find the photos. I have tried relaunching in different versions, using Time Machine to back-up to a day before the upgrade but nothing has retrieved my most recent Lightroom set-up. Please help.

I've lost numbers after trying to download update

When I tried to open numbers after attempting to download update a box came up that said unable to purchase numbers at this time. I then found that the app had disappeared from my iPad along with all my work! Can I get it back?

The App Store is OK in the U.S. as you can see here.
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Try closing the App Store, and reset the iPad all over again. Then try again.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Lost apps after 4.0.1 update

I synced my phone before installing the new update. My phone had an error while performing the update and I had to restore my phone. Now that it is restored and updated, I am missing a bunch of apps. There are a few that were free when I got them and now you have to pay for them. Is there any way to get these back at all and even better without having to buy them since I had already installed them when they were free?

This happened to me as well, and it's infuriating. Somehow, I was able to go from a 3GS to an iPhone 4 without losing a single thing -- very impressive. Then a stupid, simple upgrade to 4.0.1 wipes out all my apps. I synced right before I upgraded, so I had a perfectly good backup, but for some reason, it didn't restore any apps. I had spent hours organizing them, too, and it'll take me days to go through and figure out which ones I still have on my PC were on the device.
After several attempts of resetting and restoring, it looks as though iTunes has overwritten my good backups with these empty ones. I had to resync all of the apps from my PC to my phone again, and then go through the painful process of reorganizing everything the way I had it.
Hugely frustrating.

IPhone 3g lost ringtones after loading the latest update. I see one of the many but cannot get the others to sync. Any ideas?

After recent update, cannot find my ringtones. Tried syncing and they don't come back. Only 1 list in the contacts to be selected. Tried to sync the ringtones by themselves and it still won't sync them back to the phone.

These are iTune purchased ringtones.

HT4623 lost facebook after 7.1.1 update

how to restore facebook after 7.1.1 installation update?

I don't know the reasons behind your loss, but try downloading the app again. Facebook app doesn't have any data saved on your phone other than auto-logging you in. It's a pain, but that's what I'd suggest. Good luck!

Lost file after 10.4.3 update

I just updated to 10.4.3, just before the update I was working on a powerpoint file that I really need. After reboot, the file was gone. The reference to the file is still in the recent items list, I don't see it in the trash and it doesn't showup in spotlight.
I have no idea where the file went, any clues, since I desperately need this file?
TIA,
Brian

If the string you're looking for contains a space or other special character, you need to enclose the string in quotes, or place a backslash before the character. For example, these are valid commands:
locate "my file"
locate my\ file
This is not, and will produce a message telling you how to use locate:
locate my file
It should be noted that the locate command calls upon a database compiled by the weekly cron task; the information returned will be as of the last time this cron task was run. If this task hasn't been run, the locate command won't work. To tell when the task was last run, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /private/var/log/ as the folder's address; once this folder appears, select the weekly.out file and choose Get Info from the File menu. This file's modification date is the time the task was last run; if this file isn't present, the weekly task hasn't been run on that system.

Some icons lost previews after 10.10.3 update

Mostly Photoshop JPEGS and TIFFS. Not all, not all the time. Have tried deleting finder.plist, did not help. Happens on internal drive and external drives. If I do a Get Info, preview shows as generic JPEG or TIFF icon.

You can destroy your system running programs like these.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Lost messages after ios 8 update

Hi,
After the ios 8 update, I appear to have lost many text messages from my history (and attached photos). So far, they seem to be non-Apple, non-iMessage contacts.
Does anyone have a solution to recover them?
Thanks,
Ray

Restore to your latest back-up.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

After latest Photoshop CC update, I can no longer edit a raw file in Lightroom 4 as a smart object

I updated PS this morning, since then I am no longer able to edit a file in LIghtroom 4 as a smart object in Photoshop CC. Photoshop will open, but after some time passes, Lightroom 4 gives an error that Photoshop cannot be launched. If I choose "edit in photoshop" from lightroom, instead of "edit as smart object", the file opens fine.
Thanks for your time!

When importing from an old Lightroom 2 catalog into Lightroom 4 (also from Windows to Mac) I seem to have lost all the development history of my photos. Is there any way to retain that?

I finally managed to get through the process of moving files and catalog from Lightroom 2.7 on a PC to Lightroom 4 on my Mac. I think I did it all correctly and all my file and previews and some tagging seems to be there. Two things are lost
1 - Most importantly, the development history on my files. I can see the edited versions in the previews, but as soon as I click on it, I can see that I lose all the changes I had made before. When I look at Development history, it just says "Imported on...." I'd love to get this back. That is a ton of processing work just lost because I switched computers.
2 - The collection names seem to have come over, but they are all empty. This is also a lot of work lost, though not as important as #1
Is there any recourse?

csdwarf,
So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

"Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened". This message just started coming up after downloading lightroom cc (previously using lightroom 5)...am i backing up properly or not???

Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.
