Lost my developement data when reinstalled my platform and lightroom

Hi,
I use Mac OS X 10.8 with Lightroom. I had ro reinstall my OS X and all the programs inc. Lightroom a month ago. I did a backup of my whole harddrive inc. Lightroom.
After reinstallation of Os X and Lightroom I imported my photos from a backup (inc. ircat -file) and got the photos showing ok. Later I realized that the developement data hasn´t been copied - the photos appear in original raw -mode without my corrections.
I still got my backupp (timemachine backups) from my previous OsX and programs left in a sepertate harddrive. What file do I need to dig up and form where to get my photos with the developements to appear?
Thanks!

The most recent LRCAT file from the previous computer would contain the develop settings as of the last time you used LR on the old computer.  What happens when you open up that LRCAT file with Lightroom on the new computer? 
Presumably you’d need to restore the photos to a similar location on your new computer, if they resided on your internal hard drive and do a Find Missing Folder(s) on all the top-level folders to re-hookup all the photos.  You should not be Importing the existing photos into a new catalog because that will start over without any Develop settings.

    Unless you have a backup of the iPhone 5 data you lost, it's gone.

  • I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 :(

    I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 I have an iphone 4s.  Is there any way at all i can recover the data?! Help pls!!!

    Actually, if you have never backed up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud manually, there are still possibilities that iTunes or iCloud has backed up your iPhone automatically: every time you sync the iPhone with iTunes, iTunes will back up your iPhone automatically; if your iCloud backup was enabled, every time your iPhone is connected with Wifi and a power source with screen-locked, iCloud will create a backup automatically. If you find the backups, but the backups are not up to date, and you don’t want to lose the data generated after the backups, you can extract the lost data from the backups using the iPhone backup extractor.
    In addition, you can also try to use the iPhone data recovery software to scan and recover the data on your iPhone directly even if you have no backups of your iPhone.

  • In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

    In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

    In what mode, Events, Photos or in an Album, are you when you select View ➙ Sort ➙ By Title?
    As a first fix attempt try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone kn

    I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Where did you put the LR catalog?
    Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
    OS and version?
    Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
    Now try to start LR again.

  • I lost all my data when updating to iOS 7.0.6

    Hi, umm i was updating my phone to the recent software the ios7.0.6 is it? well anyways i havent backed up my phone for almost a year now, and when i updated it, it told me to restore it, and i dont want to do that but I had no choice because i cant use my phone until i connected to the itunes to 'Restore', is there any ways that i can change it back to the previous one? i really have important things in there and really need it .
    Last time i lost my data, i was so devastated, now im experiencing it again... can anyone help me? Apple team can you help me? or any computer geniuses, im no computer whizz so please help me, Im now desperate that i had to join this Apple support community....

    Fool me once, shame on you.
    Fool me twice, shame on me.
    In other words, after your first experience with data loss, there is no logical reason you should have been neglecting to backup your data regularly.  iCloud backups are free and can be set to backup automatically.  iTunes backups are also free.
    I'm sorry you lost your data, but this falls solely and squarely on your shoulders.

  • Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

    WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?!  This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told  "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

        Hello NotHappy101,
    I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.

  • Lost IPTC meta data on TIFF import -- old and unsolved problem?

    Hi,
    this is my first post, after using Aperture on a casual basis for 7 months.
    Browsing the forum I found the same problem in older threads but the solutions do not help in my case: When I export pictures with IPTC I set in Graphic Converter, metadata will be imported from the RAW (NEC from a Nikon D80) and from JPEG files, but not from the TIFF, whatever encoding or byte order I choose.
    Any help in that matter?
    Thanks,
    Maria

    You didn't say which version of Aperture you are using. Up until the recent updates I found Aperture missed, or cut off, a log of IPTC data when I imported RAW files. This seems to be solved with the current version, but ratings still don't get imported.
    I used Annoture (http://www.tow.com/annoture/) to copy over the data. I would import the images into Aperture, then also into iView Media Pro. I'd select all the images in Aperture and then run Annoture. Annoture would take all the IPTC data from the iView catalogue and copy them to the selected images in Aperture (also works on selected projects I think).
    It's a long winded solution, but did the job.

  • Lost all my tabs when my computer died and now I can't get tham back

    I forgot to plug in my computer while I was browsing Firefox and it died. I was not worried as this has happened before, but when I reopened Firefox and tried to restore my 53 tabs (I know I have a problem, I love tabs) I was unable to click restore previous tabs in History. I don't know what to do because these tabs were collected over a period of months. I tried to rename the systemstore.bak file to systemstore.js like many of the forums suggested, but it gives me a warning telling me that changing the file may make the info unusable and when I try to reopen Firefox there is nothing there. Once, in the past I found a forum that involved pasting a link into the browser and being able to do a system restore in some way to find your old tabs, but I can't find this old post. I just don't know what else to do now.

    You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

  • HT4946 I want to sync my iPad with an older backup, not the old created when I plug mt device in.  Following a problem with my iPad I have lost all my data from a game app and I am trying to retrieve it

    Following a problem with my IPad and restoring it, I have lost the data in one of my game Apps ... I can see in ITunes/ pref my iPad back ups and want to try to sync with an older back up to get the data back.  So how can I sync with an oldera back up?

    In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
    Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.
