Missing all photos (and collections) before a certain date!

I just imported all my photos from my iPhone 4 from a vacation to put with photos from my DSLR into LR3, when i noticed that I was missing about 15000 photos from my catalog. They are still on the hard drive. I know that I can just import those folders back in, but i am worried that i have lost any edits/keywordin/etc. What can i do?

I found three different ones: the LR2 cat, the LR3 cat, and this one that I am currently on which I must have created on accident. So, I opened the one called something like "lightroom 3 catalog-2". I tried to "import from catalog" to get the photo & edits that I worked a little on in the past week (which was about 12GB of vacation photos), but an error occurred twice. So, i just imported all the photos from the folders to the correct catalog.
Thanks for all the help guys. I will start backing up my catalog. And, next time i will know what to do.

  • Missing all photos and events after upgrading to Photos from iPhoto

    I just upgraded to photos from iPhoto.
    When I opened Photos for the first time it asked if I wanted to move / import from iPhoto to the new photos app I said yes.
    A message came up that said that I needed to repair the permissions on my iPhoto library I said ok.
    When the library opened in Photos there was nothing there. It was as if the library was brand new with instructions on how to add images and events.  I went to iPhoto to open the library. Same thing iPhoto now looks like new with information on how to import photos and create events!
    Where are all of my images?
    How do I get them back?
    Thanks!

    HA! User Error. Supper embarrassing. So... Is there a way to delete this request?

  • Missing apps, photos and podcasts after ios 5.0.1 upgrade

    After I updated my Ipad 2 with the ios 5.0.1 update, I am missing apps, photos and podcasts.  I purchased the full version of a calculator before the update and now it is gone and when I go back to download it, it wants me to pay again.  Also, I can see the podcasts in my library on my computer, but they want sync to my Ipad, despite them being there before. Is anyone experiencing similiar issues?

    Hi.
    You can easily restore all of your apps, photos and podcasts.
    If you activated the iCloud service before updating, your Apps will be storaged "in the cloud" and ready to be re-downloaded. Otherwise, go to App Store and choose "Updates". Here, in the top of the screen, is the "Purchased"-button. Tapping here will give you a complete list of all your downloaded Apps, ready to be re-downloaded.
    As for your podcasts, plug your iPhone to your PC/Mac. Single-click your iPhone-device in the menu on the left. Once the iPhone-window appear, go to the tab-menu in the top of the screen and choose 'Podcasts'. From here you can decide which podcasts should be sync with your device.
    I hope this was helpful.
    Best regards.

  • How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone

    How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Synched Ipod lost all photos and apps.

    I synced my ipod to my computer for the first time. I downloaded itunes on my computer. I connected my ipod and was told to download latest software for ipod. After downloading, I got message that download failed. Had to unplug and reconnect ipod to computer. Set up as new connection and new ipod name. All photos and apps are gone. Where did the apps and photos get downloaded to?? How do I get back to original ipod name I had before I unplugged and re-plugged in and gave new name. Apps and photo's no where to be found in Itunes on my computer.

    You should have backed up to iCloud and restore backup after the sync or update.
    Re-download your apps from App Store>Purchased

  • Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

    Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
    Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
    Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
    Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
    HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
