Lost most of my keywords after upgrading to LR 5.5. Any help?

While i was working on LR i noticed that keywords attached to pics in a folder were suddenly absent. I randomly checked other folders and found that MOST keywords were now absent. The keyword list is intact, but images appear not to have any keyword attached, for about 90% of my library.
The most important thing i have done recently is upgrade to LR5.5 today using the standard procedure of the installation package. I believe this is the cause, but i am not 100% sure.
I do have backups of my Catalog, i backup after every use, so i believe there should be a way to retrieve those passwords, but i am a bit fearful of doing missteps that would compromise the recovery.
Do i have to return to LR 5.4 before attempting to open previous catalogs that were created in LR 5.4 ? And how do i do that by the way now that i am on LR 5.5 ? etc.. etc...
If somebody could provide me with some comprehensive guidelines/steps i would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You shouldn't have to use LR 5.4 to check your backup catalogs.
To open a backup catalog file using your operating system, it is probably best to make a copy of it in a different folder, and then double-click on the copy.

  • I lost most of my contacts after upgrading to ios6. Can I revert back to ios5 safely?

    I have lost most of my contact info after upgrade to ios6. Can I restore only the contacts from a backup, or even revert to ios5.1.1 when needed?

    Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

  • Lost most address book entries after upgrading to S.L.

    Hi Everyone,
    I upgraded my machine from Tiger to Snow Leopard and consequently lost most of the addresses in my address book. I had about 300 or so; now I have 68. This is particularly bad timing since we're in the holidays...
    I have a backed up version of the address book (on an external disk that still has the backup of my old system), but I'm not able to open it in Snow Leopard. Suggestions? This is quite frustrating.

    The metadata folder has the same number of items as the current address book (68). The other contents of the .../application support/address book file are:
    ABPerson.skIndexInverted
    ABSubscribedPerson.skIndexInverted
    AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    AddressBook.data
    AddressBook.data.previous
    Configuration.plist
    Images folder
    lastImport.plist
    MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
    Metadata folder
    Hmmm... Is the "AddressBook.data.previous" relevant here?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Lost most of my music after installing and using iTunes Match.  Help!

    I hope somebody can help me.  I purchased a MacBook Air off of a previous owner, and heard that iTunes Match was a good way to access all your music without having to use up hard disk space to actually store it locally.
    So, I subsribed to iTunes Match and things seemed to be working OK for a couple weeks.
    At some point, I noticed that I couldn't see some of my favorite music in my iTunes library anymore.  Upon searching further, most of my favorite music seems to have disappeared.
    Kinda ******.  I assume something got fowled up somewhere, and would appreciate some wisdom to help me access my music again.
    Thanks to anyone who's got the skills to help...
    Cheers,
    m

    For the initial scan, match and upload process to work the music in the iTunes library must physically be on the HDD. When you purchases the service where was the music, and where is it now? What is the source for the music?

  • Lightroom 3 sliders lose color shading after upgrade to Mavericks...any help?

    Just recently upgraded to Mavericks OS on Mac, but now finding that the coloring of the sliders (for example in the Hue, Saturation, Luminance module) is gone.  This is really annoying as I cannot see what the color will look like unless I actually move the sliders.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Only solution Adobe currently offer is to upgrade the LR5.2 where it is fixed (but not in earlier versions).

  • My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2

    My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2, someone with the same problem? Just think when I enable the 3G, soon followed falls again.
    I have already put another chip carrier and the same problem happens, my phone is factory unlocked.

    Had same problem with iphone5 6.1.2 update. First tried reset network settings and didn work... Support recommend me a restore and ended up in recovery loop with iTunes error (-1)
    Been at my carrier store (Optimus Portugal)... and iPhone sent to warranty. After 2 macbooks, 1 imac, 2 appletvs, 2 iphones, 1 ipod... I find disappointment with apple reliability....
    At least the support guys at Optimus Portugal were very helpful and friendly, but I'll be 15 days without iPhone...

    why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

    JGC wrote:Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.
    i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx

  • Lost Deskjet 5740 printer driver after upgrade.

    Lost Deskjet 5740 printer driver after upgrade. HP site has a download but it does not appear in the driver list after downloading it. Ideas?

    Okay, as of last night, both the printers are working fine. I uninstalled the 5740 and then tried several different rearrangements of the two printers. First I tried hooking the 5150 to the AEBS and it printed fine. Then I tried hooking the 5740 to the AE and it printed fine. Finally, I tried my original configuration with the 5740 hooked to the AEBS and it printed fine! Very frustrating.... I'm not sure if Apple sent an update I downloaded in the meantime that fixed the problem or what. I can't think of any other possible explanation.
    So to recap, I can vouch that I have an HP Deskjet 5740 connected to an AEBS and an HP Deskjet 5150 connected to an AE, all set up on a WDS (wireless distribution system) with Leopard and everything works as expected. Hopefully your printer magically started working again as well Bibycat.

  • My Aperture crash after upgrade to 3.4. Pls help !

    My Aperture crash after upgrade to 3.4. Pls help!

    Removing the plist "fixed" my problems too.
    Any idea what specifically in the plist is causing the problem?
    That depends. I have not seen your crash log.
    The problem is, that the current Aperture installer is buggy. Depending on the Aperture version you are upgrading from, some frameworks may not be installed correctly. The installer erraniously assumes they are already installed. That is why the suggested fix is to reinstall from an early version, so the installer is forced to install everything new.
    Your plist contains your webaccounts, recent files, the layout of the Gui. If one of these settings prompts Aperture to use ine of the missing frameworks, it will crash. For most people here it is the Facebook setting. Removing the preferences makes Aperture forget that you have a Facebook account. If you add that account again, Aperture probably will crash again.

    iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

    Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source.  Did iWeb come with your computer?  If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it.  Like one of these:
    Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.
