Lost folder from import to lightroom5

i just installed Lightroom5 and imported some folders from Picasa. now when i try to develop photos from a particular folder Lightroom says that it can not find the folder. and the folder is missing from Picasa. but there are images from the folder which show up in Lightroom

Check the thumbnail in the library module. If there is a "!" in the corner, the image cannot be found on the hard drive.
If you right-click on the thumbnail, you should find an option to "open in finder/explorer".
The Folders tab in the left pane should show you where the image is supposed to be. You might need to "show parent" via right-click to see the whole directory tree.

  • Develop settings lost after re-importing folder of DNG files

    I've been using LR for several months, and - after getting accustomed to its peculiararities - love the program.
    This evening I re-imported a folder of DNG files that I had previously removed from LR - using the "add" import option. When going to the Develop module, I noticed that my original develop settings were no longer applied.
    Aren't these settings incorporated into the DNG files? How could they get lost? Are they over-written when re-importing the files?
    I always backup my catalog before closing. Does the catalog backup contain the original develop settings for these DNG files?
    I know I must have done something wrong! Please advise & explain. Thanks.

    Thanks. I do have autowrite to XMP checked. - I learned that lesson a few months ago!
    I will see if I can use an older backup to recover the settings. I have never done that before, but I know where my catalog backups are located. If you can give some advice on that, I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose other DNG edits in the process.
    Correct me if I'm wrong - but it appears that if I ever do want to remove a previously imported folder from LR for whatever reason - I should just edit the RAW files without converting to DNG. I know DNGs are more compact, but at least the sidecar files associated with the RAW files will always be there! This is more important to me than conserving disk space!
    just try it on one or tow files to test. Also look at "Read Metadata from file" in the current catalog first with ine file to see if that helps. Did you have a Prest applied when importing like Zeroed?...... None is the best for importing files with dev settings already applied.
    I use DNG exclusively and haven't experienced your issue so review your import settings as mentioned.

  • Lost a very important note from the iphone how can i find it ?

    lost a very important note from the iphone how can i find it ?

    Launch JuicePhone. You should see a list of backups. Select the one that's most likely to contain the note you want to recover (again, you should make a copy of the backup in case something goes wrong). Select where you want the extracted files to go and click "Complete". Then go to the folder containing the extracted data and you can find the data file and see if you can extract the data you need.
    If you were using the included Notes application, the file will be notes.db in Home/Library/Notes. You can open the file in Text Edit and try and extract the note text from amongst the code, or you since it's an Sqlite3 database, you can try a database browser that can view Sqlite3 databases.

  • I seem to have lost a folder containing important photos!!

    I've seem to have lost a folder containing important photos yet still have my camera roll photos. How can I get these back? I haven't deleted anything, it may have happened when I synced my phone to the pc. My phone is always connected to wifi at home and therfore backs up on icloud. However I have other devices in the house linked to an itunes account but my phone is linked to a different one.
    These photos have sentimental value and I would hate to lose them . Please help!!

    If those pictures were taken on that phone, creating or deleting folder will not remove those from camera roll, so check it.
    If those were synced from pc - they are still in your pc's my pictures folder.
    If those were synced from other pc, you need to find that other pc - same folder.
    If those were emailed or imported from camera/sd card - they are still in camera roll.
    Besides info above - if those pictures were in camera roll they may also be in iphone backup, that backup should be restorable or searched with use of multiple available on Google software programs. Those allow you to look in itunes backups. They also may still exist on the phone as not recognized by iphone files, until overwritten, there are programs for that as well. I can't recommend particulars, never used those.

  • How do I move all the messages and folders in `Local Folder' to my main account folder? The stuff in local is from importing from Outlook

    I imported my mail from Outlook and they went to Local Folders. I want them in the main folder section for my account. How do I move them there?
    At the moment I have to create each folder and then copy the contents from one folder to the other - crazy, and I have dozens of folders

    As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
    You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
    In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
    So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
    If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
    Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

  • I imported my itunes folder from an external drive on a freshly wiped computer. My playlists and ratings did not copy over. how can I fix this?

    i imported my itunes library from a backup drive after i reinstalled windows on my machineby copying the itunes folder from the backup to the my music folder on my c drive. when i opened itunes and imported the library the playlists and ratings were missing. Is this normal itunes behavior? hoow can i fix this?

    Did your backup include the iTunes Library.itl file that is the core of an iTunes Library, and if so have you restored it either to the default library location for your profile, or to another folder and then redirected iTunes to look to that folder for a library? Normally all you need do is backup the entire iTunes folder from the old profile's Music folder, then restore the iTunes folder into the new profile's Music folder.

  • I lost a really important file (an iText Express document) randomly and then one day, a "recovered file" folder popped up and I assume it has to do with that, but the file just contains a doc with a bunch of coding. What do I do with that? HELP!!!

    As the title question states, I lost a really important file with iText Express. I've been using iText Express for a year or two now because it's just the one application I downloaded for writing and saving documents. I was working on one for a few months and randomly one day last month, when I went to open it to resume editing my work, the file was gone! I searched my whole laptop and trash. Then one day, a "Recovered Files" folder popped up in the area my file used to be, so I assumed that was the file I lost being recovered and I felt relieved. But when I opened the folder, the document inside was a "SoftwareMap" document with a bunch of coding written in it. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with that or how it's going to help me recover my file?!? I lost SO much work!!! If anyone has ANY idea what to do, how this happened, or if the coding is supposed to help me recover my file, PLEASE help!!!

    No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

  • I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

    I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people

    There is no way to export Faces information.
    I'm not sure why you would do this:
    If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
    If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • How can I import an iTunes folder from another Mac?

    I realize now I could've used the Migration Assistant and it would've been a lot easier. However, all I currently have is the copied "iTunes" folder from the "Music" folder of the other Mac. Is there any way that I can import this into my current Music folder and still retain set lists, etc.?

  • I am unable to import my favorites folder from an old harddrive onto the new harddrive

    I recently changed hard drives moving to a larger hard drive. Before doing so, I exported my favorites from Firefox and they were saved on a folder called FAVORITES on a portable hard drive. Now when I try to import these favorites I am unable to import the whole folder at once because Firefox seems to be looking for HTML files not a folder to import. When I drill down into the subfolders of the FAVORITES I had saved, there are files there titles INTERNET SHORTCUTS which appear to be the actual old bookmarks. Please help.

    Did you use one of these to export the Firefox bookmarks?
    * Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
    * Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    Sounds that you are referring to the IE Favorites and in that case you need to use IE to get access to those favorites by copying them to the IE Favorites folder and exporting them to an HTML file.

  • I've lost my applications folder from the dock

    I've lost my applications folder. I think I picked it up by accident and put it in the trash. But was unable to recover it. I've tried taking the applicaions folder from finder and that works to the point that it puts a shortcut on the desktop. But I want my applications folder returned to it's former glory with the A on it and in the dock. Help

    You should update your profile to indicate what version of Mac OS X you are currently running.
    And this is an OS question, not an iMac question.
    Have you tried dragging the Applications folder to the Dock?  It has to be dragged to the right side of the dividing line between individual applications on the left and folders/trash on the right.

    If you properly erased all data on the iPod it would be exactly how it was the day it was bought. You would be instructed yto set up your iPod and to sign into your Apple ID account etc. If this has happened to you, you have properly erased your iPod.

  • Cannot open mail "home folder is full" after importing mail folder from time machine

    hello, sorry for my poor english.
    after an erase and reboot of my harddisk with new os yosemite installed, i've copied the mail folder from the time machine backup. but when i tried to open mail app it start to "import the mail box" and then stops saying that the home folder ins full, but it isn't, i've over 300gb free

    What is your hard drive capacity and available free space after deleting a ton of stuff?
    Try the following.
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index.
    Move the Envelope Index file to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, you will be prompted to import all mailboxes located within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. Select OK and allow the import process to complete.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully imported, you can delete the old Envelope Index file from the Desktop and this should resolve the problem.
