Lost LR3 developed files after upgrading LR4

I purchased the upgrade to LR4 and installed it, however when I imported a folder it didn't carry over the developed files in lR3. Can anyone help walk me through how to do this?

First a grain of caution: create a backup from your LR3-catalog in LR3, close Lightroom.
No LR version is open.
Start then from Explorer on Windows (or Finder on Mac) and locate your LR3-catalog, to open with LR4. Then it will tell you to upgrade. Wait a bit (for me with 90'000 images some 5 minutes), then you have LR4 open with the newly converted catalog.
(Your LR3-catalog should stay untouched, but then you never know - better safe than sorry, that is why I advise for a last backup.)
When you open Lightroom, you usually have already a catalog open. Then you could only "Import from Another catalog", which needs to be converted to LR4 before. Same is true if you have a LR4beta-catalog.
Good luck,
Cornelia

  • Lost some Note files after upgrade to iOS 5

    After I finally succeeded updating to iOS 5, I found some of my Note files are missing
    My update failed the fisrt time with "Unable to restore iPhone" error. I rebooted my Mac and tried the update again. It went the again the "Prepare...", "Sync for restore" again and this time the update worked. But I lost many Note files.
    I wish the backup process is more trouble proof, maybe entirely separate for the update step in which I can for certain save the content of my iPhone.  Then after the update, restore the backup.

    Already tried re-syncing and rebooting both devices with no apparent effect.

  • Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

    Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

    Hi OrangeOAK,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

    If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

  • QT10.1 will not open .wmv file after upgrade to 10.7.4

    Hi Qt 10.1 will no longer open .wmv files after upgrading to 10.7.4.  I have the latest version of flip for mac.  They will opwn in QT7 pro but does anybody have a fix for this problem at all?  Thanks in advance. 

    I'm having the same issue, but do not find a 3ivx codec in the mentioned QT folder.  I do, however, have these codecs listed in that folder:
    AppleGVAHW.component
    ApplePiletVideo.component
    AppleProResDecoder.component
    AppleVAH264HW.component
    QuartzComposer.component
    QuickTime3GPP.component
    QuickTimeComponents.component
    QuickTimeFireWireDV.component
    QuickTimeH264.component
    QuickTimeIIDCDigitizer.component
    QuickTimeImporters.component
    QuickTimeMPEG.component
    QuickTimeMPEG2.component
    QuickTimeMPEG4.component
    QuickTimeStreaming.component
    QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component
    QuickTimeVR.component
    Could ANY of these be causing my wmv files (or my Flip4Mac) to be corrupt and unable to work?  I appreciate any insight you may have.

  • ITunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5

    iTunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5.
    Tried every password I've ever used and tried resetting my password.  Nothing works!
    Any advice?

    Nope.  You obviously didn't read (or didn't remember) the User Guide.  I will include a link for you.  If you use the iPhone as Apple recommends (so that you do NOT experience data loss), frequent backups are advised, as are synching contacts/calendars with an appropriate cloud service or computer-based contact manager like Outlook.

  • Lost Developer Toolbar after upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

    After upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2.1.00.08, we have lost the Developer Toolbar.
    Have others run into this with the upgrade or fresh installation of 4.2.1?
    If so, what suggestions are there for fixing, short of reinstallation mentioned in this other thread:
    {message:id=10692572}
    Following the guidance there to look at the instance ID and other preference settings, I compared our three instances. The two that are not having the problem are both at 4.2.0.00.27.
    Here are the preferences that exist on our other instances but are null on the problem instance:
    APEX_4_1_0_PATCH_12920544
    APEX_4_2_0_PATCH_14777994
    APP_EXPORT_TO_DB_ENABLED
    HPROF_DIRECTORY
    INSTANCE_ID
    MOBILE_DEVELOPMENT_ENABLED
    PRINT_SVR_HOST
    PRINT_SVR_PORT
    PRINT_SVR_SCRIPTI have asked our support team to review the upgrade log. Re-installation from scratch is an option.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Thanks, Joel.
    You inspired me to take a closer look, and look beyond the upgrade.
    After the upgrade, my application passed a superficial checkout. Later, I exported my application and in the export file, the Instance ID was not NULL. I had not noticed any problems with how APEX was working.
    The problems of the missing Developer Toolbar, Instance ID = NULL, and a new one, did not occur until I removed my application and tested a clean installation of the workspace and application. This is the sequence of events. The immediate triggering cause is clearly one of the following:
    1. Deinstall application (ID 820) from APEX 4.2.1.00.08 instance, running 11g (11.1.0.7.0).
    2. Remove workspace (PVA_AH9_R12)
    3. (drop the parsing schema, xxpva, and related tablespace)
    4. (create tablespace and schema user, xxpva)
    5. Import workspace (PVA_AH9_R12) from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance.
    6. Import application (ID 820) including supporting objects from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance, running 11g (11.2.0.1.0).
    The next day I noticed the Developer Toolbar missing problem, and found that Instance ID is NULL.
    Also, after Exporting an application in Database format, I cannot download the file from the Export Repository. When I click the filename link, I get 'Access Denied' instead of the normal download dialog.
    Does this suggest anything else I should look into?
    Do you think I should post this as a new problem/question with more detail about the sequence of events?

  • Lost music files after upgrading to itunes 7

    Hi, can someone please confirm whether or not my music files have been physically deleted from my computer after upgrading to itunes 7. Many of the songs in my playlist, including MOST of the songs purchased through itunes come up with the error that the original file can't be found. I've done searches and can't come up with the files.
    I want to know if they are indeed gone.
    I realize that you click "I agree" to the agreement before installing and as of now this "contract" has held up. However, we'll see how well it holds up when offered software is knowingly removing personal files. I'm sure that if someone were to write a virus that destroys your computer, if it had a warning message with an "I agree" button, it would be a very difficult contract to stand by.
    To my recollection, no software in the past has physically removed personal files from your harddrive on install.
    So, I don't think a precedence has been set for this kind of class action.

    and we refresh.

  • Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
    Two error messages appear:
    1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
    2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
    I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
    Thank you for your advice

    Hi Pat,
    Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
    I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
    Thank you anyway for your advice!

  • XMP metadata lost from PNG files after saveing

    Hello,
    i am using Photosop CS3 SDK. through my plug-in I put some metadata in the file using XMP SDK 4.4.2.
    For PNG files, if the file is modified and saved, all the XMP metadata is lost from the file.
    The following steps are being done.
    1. Put some metadata in PNG file using SXMPMeta::SetProperty and SXMPMeta::AppendArrayItem
    2. modify the file (changed brightness, contrast, flattened the image).
    3. Save this file.
    After saving all the xmp metadata is lost from the PNG file. This works for all other formats.
    What can be wrong that I am doing?
    Is there any other way to put XMP metadata in file?
    Thanks,
    Hitesh

    That's probably because PNG doesn't save or read XMP metadata.
    There really aren't standards for metadata in PNG. (though a few products have tried adding it in ad-hoc ways, without documenting their efforts)

  • Lost saved mail messages after upgrading to OSX Mavericks

    I rencently noticed that after upgrading to OSX Mavericks I have lost all of my saved messages from before that date, messages mainly from my gmail account that is syncing with Mail. I have also noticed that the same messages are now missing when I log into Gmail and look for them there.

    HI,
    I also use IMAP and the "folders" I create in the Mail App are actually created on the IMAP server.
    My Mail side bar looks like this:-
    Between the INboxes and the Google folders are the Smart Mailboxes (Today)  and the On My Mac line which is current closed/hidden.
    I have a bunch more folder that are On My Mac in here.
    I went the Google Mail Web page the other day and was informed that there was a New Inbox.
    I also received an email about it.
    It appeared to happen just as I logged in to Google.
    I not sure it this was coincidence or the trigger.
