Missing Quick Collections and Previous Import tabs

I hope I can explain this - I recently moved from PC to MAC. I reinstalled lightoom and imported all my images from backup. Everything has been working fine. I just noticed that I dont have the Prevoius Import and Quick Collections folders showing in the panel.
I have Navigator - Folders (where all my images show up) and Collections
I can save to quick collections and show quick collections from the pull down menu. I have looked in all the setting and view options. What the heck have I done wrong!!

Smathia,
What you're missing is the "Catalog" section of the left panel. Right click (ctrl-click for mac) into any other section header and check "Catalog".

HT203175 After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

How do I import collections and previous editing into a new copy of Lightroom 5?

I've recently installed Lightroom 5 on a new computer. I chose not to install my old Lightroom 3.6 on the new computer, but imported the catalog and photo folders from external drives into Lightroom. My collections and editing did not appear to have been imported along with the catalog and photos. What to do??

In LR5, File->Open Catalog and then point to the location of your LR 3.6 catalog

Bug? - Quick Collections and Flags

I have found that "Flags" do no stick in "Quick Collection". The process I am using is;
1. Add a number of photos to the quick collection.
2. Select quick collection then go through photos and flag photos as selected or rejected.
3. Select something else in Library like "All Photographs"
4. Notice that the photos you just flagged are no longer flagged.
I am running Vista 32bit. I have not tried this with other collections.
Are others having this problem with other OS's?
David.

I would like to see global flags, ratings, labels, etc. I use iView MediaPro right now, and this is how it works, and it works well (admittedly for me). Basically, I would use a collection to narrow down my images to review a "subset." However, once I am done and return to "All Photographs" and then filter by flag status, for example, all of my work is gone. Granted, I can return to the collection to see the "local" flag status, but what if I want to see flag status for all images in my database, not just for a small collection of images?
Add my support to this request.

Import acting strangely.. selecting random and previously imported images

Whenever I try to do an import, looking for new images on my existing harddrive, I am seeing strange activity that I cannot understand.
First, Lightroom selects thousands of images (all?) to import, then it automatically begins reducing the number of selected images to a much smaller, but seemingly random subset of images that have already been imported. If I go ahead and import, and then try the same process, I get another seemingly random set of previously imported images.
Any ideas what is happening?

Lightroom 4.2, Mac OSX 10.7.5

Images previously imported disappear in Quick Collection

I have been using the trial version of Lightroom for about a
week. I have successfully imported my database (500GB+), added keywords,
ratings, flags, exported and imported images. I have also been using Quick Collections for the past couple of days with no problems.
Yesterday, after creating a quick collection the program suddenly shut down (this is the second sudden shut-down in the past three days). When I reopened it, several images that were in the Quick Collection and in the original folder were not visible. I tried to reimport them to the original folder but was "told" they were already there and to allow the library view (?- could be wrong terminology). They still did not show.
Today after rebooting and reopening Lightroom I was able to reimport them successfully.
I don't understand why they had to be reimported. Why were they lost in the first place? More concerning is the sudden shut-down twice in three days.
Thanks.

These .psd photos appear to be corrupted in some way. One didn't show the changes I had made in PS, but then when I reopened in PS the changes reappeared. I was able to reorder them finally in a Collection.

Bug - LR3.2 unable to reorder photos in quick collection / survey view

After editing photos in Photoshop CS3, I'm looking at them in Quick Collection and want to reorder them before export. But it doesn't work. Sometimes I can move a photo one place, but not two, sometimes not at all. I have other RAW photos in Quick Collection. I seem to be able to reorder them amongst themselves, but not move them into the Photoshop .psd photos. I sometimes get an error message "cannot complete assertion", sometimes accompanied by crash.
First time I've seen this. Also Photoshop files are now appearing as the first images in quick collection whereas they used to be grouped next to the RAW file I was editing.
Similar behaviour in Survey View.

Filter quick collection issue

Don't know if this is an issue only seen in LR 2.2 or if it's prevalent in older versions as well. I'm on 2.2 for Mac.
I've added a bunch of images from one folder to a quick collection and working in the quick collection I've assigned star ratings to them. When I filter the quick collection using "rating = *****" I get 18 results while I have actually assigned a 5 star rating to 42 images that reside in the quick collection. When I switch back to the folder containing the images and filter it using the same "rating = *****", I get all those 42 results.
Unless I'm doing something wrong I can not count on filtering in the quick collection. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Dang, Dorin, how could I have overlooked it: I had the (quiet inconspicuous) "no label" filter set to ON. Overlooked it maybe 20 times! Hadn't you stated you don't see this behaviour, I wouldn't have looked again for the 21st time.
Thanks for replying, both of you. Problem solved + a nice link to bookmark for future reference.
Thanks again!

Hide previously imported duplicates

I'm wondering if there's a way to hide duplicates from the import screen that are not obeying the "Hide photos already imported" setting in iPhoto.
Here's the scenario:
Using iPhoto '09 on a 2008 MBP with 10.6.7, I have about 800 photos imported from my iPhone 3GS. When I upgraded to an iPhone 4, those same photos migrated to the new phone. Now in iPhoto's import selection window, all of my old and previously imported photos show up. Most of them are correctly identified as duplicates when I try to import them, and I am able to skip the duplicate files. However, they remain visible and the next time I import I have to either selectively import or choose to ignore these files again. I'd like to have it the way it used to be, where I saw only the photos that were new since the last import and I was able to use the Import All button.
Is there a way to manually tag photos as previously imported so that they will be hidden?
Otherwise, the only way I can think of to get where I want is to either start from scratch on my iPhoto library or re-import the duplicates so that they are recognized as "imported" and then pay extra for duplicate removing software such as Tidy Up! or similar. Both seem like a lot of unnecessary work and expense.
Is there any other way to get my workflow back to the way it used to be before I upgraded my phone?
Thanks.

It's pretty much how it's designed to work. Take a shot. It's stored by the camera. Import to iPhoto, delete from the camera. Want to view the on the phone? Sync back to it. Managed by the phone's photo app, you won't be offered it for import again.
The problem arises because because you're trying to keep the photos managed by the camera app. iPhoto is not seeing them as duplicates because Old iPhone/Photo X is not the same as New iPhone/Photo X, and so it doesn't know they are dupes.

I do not have the people and media tabs to allow me to import photos from my iPhotos ,i only have the elive, quick, guided and expert tabs, can anyone help please?

Hi,
Im having problems importing from my iPhotos, i just bought photoshop elements 13 and mac book at the same time and am on a bit of a learning curve, i noticed that on all tutorials there were People and Media tabs which i cannot see, all i can see is elive, Quick, Guided and Expert, can anyone please help?
Many Thanks In advance
Nicol

Elements consists of two separate but interrelated programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the organizer, which you can use to organize them. You are looking in the editor. To see the organizer, click the organizer button in the welcome screen or at the bottom of the editor.
Now, do you want to keep your photos in iphoto or in the organizer? That's a choice you must make, sooner or later. The organizer does include a get photos from>iphoto command, but that will copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and make organizer databases for the copies. Is that what you want to do, or do you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE organizer?

I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.

Lost settings and import tab on with itunes 10

We've lost the settings and import tabs that are supposed to be at the lower right in itunes. Any idea how to get them back. And/or how else to import music from an old computer to a new one using home sharing.

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection. earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.

How do I recover lost tabs when Session Restore and the option to load previously closed tabs aren't available?

Hi there,
I have been having a hell of a time over the last couple days days to recover my lost tabs in Firefox, which vanished yesterday morning (Restore Previous Session and Restore Closed Tabs were both greyed out). Actually, my add-ons have also been removed and many of my settings seem to have reverted back to their default state.
My default setting was to show my windows and tabs from last time, but I recently updated Advanced System Care, and it seems that its AutoClean feature (which sweeps cookies, surfing history, cookies, browser cache, etc. at startup) removed all of this. I'm pretty sure this was the culprit, anyway - curiously my history seems to have not been deleted. But I did get a notification after I booted that AutoClean had run and done its thing.
I had a lot of tabs open, which I realize is not necessarily a best practice, that had some important information on them. Sifting through my browsing history to find all of the important tabs I had open would probably take weeks and isn't really an option at this point. Also, my tabs didn't open until they were clicked, so I wouldn't be able to just look at the history over the last few days (since some of them were originally opened quite a while ago and haven't been clicked since).
I would tremendously appreciate any assistance that anyone could provide in recovering these tabs or a previous day's session/state. I have done a lot of reading so far but haven't been able to find an answer that works. If someone has one, that would make me extremely happy. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Thank you for reading,
Brian

You you no longer have access to that previous session via the sessionstore.js file, but still have the history then you need to check the history and use one of the sort options like sort by visited date to see which pages have been visited during that time period.
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
