Open all folders on computer in LR4

My LR is currently only showing the photo folder. I have forgotten how to make it show all the folders on my computer and the external hard drive. What is the command to toggle back and forward?
Thanks
Keith

Lightroom can't show all files on computer/hard-drive - you must be thinking of a different program.
It *can* show any file in supported file formats from supported cameras, but it *will* show only those explicitly imported into the catalog.

Opening all folders in a folder

In OS9 you could open and close all folders in a folder with key strokes. It's been years since I did it, now I have to do it in OS10.3.9 to show all files on disc's I'm creating. Sure could use a little help.

You mean using List view, do a Select All (Command-A) and then hit the right arrow ? Select All again if needed and right arrow again. Left arrow closes all the selected ones at once.
Or did you have another view in mind ?

Can I set Finder to open all folders so I can see all files always

Is there a way to set Finder to open all files when I click on say "Documents" or "Music" or whichever? As it is set I have to click on every plus sign within a folder or folders themselves to see what is inside, and, for example, in Music, it means hundreds of folders where the individual songs reside.
Thank you.
Roxy

Actually, there is a way to do this on a folder by folder basis: for instance, if you have your home folder open and in list view, if you hold down the option key and click on the arrow in front of the Documents folder, it will open, and every single sub-folder and sub-sub-folder will also open. This produces a pretty unwieldy window, and I can never remember the key combo to get them to all close up again (I'm sure there is one.....), but it does work.
Francine
PS--It seems simply clicking the arrow to close the Docs folder does sort it out so a normal click produces a non-opened state of the sub-folders.

How to Open All Folders At Once

Is there a way to open all the folders that my songs are in, on Windows XP, so that I can see what songs are in there? Or do I have to open them one at a time?
Thanks for any help!

How does this make sense? Sorry, but on my XP box I have over 1000 artists and 1700 albums, each in separate folders (organized by iTunes because I don't have time for such nonsense) - opening all of those folders would be quite a mess on the desktop!
If you want to see the actual files, select any ONE song and choose "Show in Windows Explorer". It will open the containing folder.
Part of the point of iTunes is to make folders and files irrelevant by using a database. You don't need to see or manipulate folder and files to add/remove/edit/play/organize songs, or to use the iPod.

LR5.3 CC Catalog does not open all folders.

Hi !
Last week I upgraded from LR4.3 to LR5.3CC on Windows 8, and since them I'm facing issues with the catalog.
I have about 80.000 pictures in one catalog, splitted in subfolders by date. If I click in the main folder (Photos), I can browse all pictures:
All works well until Feb 10, 2011. When I click on the date, it gets highlighted and all works well.
But, when I click on any date following Feb 10, 2011, it does not highligh as expected (actually it becomes only a little bit brighter), and it does not open the folder for browsing, but the navigator shows the first picture in the folder. The picture counting for each folder is correct. When I add more pictures and more folders to the catalog the folders and countings are updated, but the problem remains in the new folder.
What have I tried so far.
1) I inspected the folders looking for strange files - didn't find any.
2) I recreated the whole catalog.
3) I created another catalog for some of those non working folders, and it worked fine.
4) I optimized the catalog.
5) I rendered 1:1 previews.
6) I rebooted LR and Windows.
It's very frustrating. Never had a problem with LR4.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald

Optimizing the catalogue was a good move.
I wonder if this is a variation of the bug where Lightroom fails to display long lists on Windows. Usually after about 1600 items, keywords for instance, any subsequent ones are hidden. So I'm thinking 11th February might be the 1601st.
What happens if you add a year folder and drag the date-folders under it? I'd just create one year initially, 2010, and then see if folders after 2012-02-11 behave normally.

Cannot open any folders within thunderbird or send unsent messages after computer (ubuntu) closed suddenly whilst using programme

I use ubuntu. The computer ran out of battery power and closed whilst I was using thunderbird. On restarting thunderbird later, I found that I could not open any folders or send any unsent messages. When I close the programme, I cannot restart it because it says thunderbird is already open, but if I use killall -9 thunderbird I am told there are no thunderbird processes running. I've checked my profile and there is no lock file or parentlock file. Someone suggest deleting the global messages database, but this hasn't helped at all.
If I am slow responding to any questions, please be patient, tonight is my last night with a decentinternet connection - before returning to my rural African home, where we get download speeds of 15kb/s on a good day.
Thanks,

Do you run some sort of anti-virus software on the Ubuntu computer?
Do you have a backup of your profile folder? If not, now is a good time to create one.

There might be some sort of corruption in connection with your Inbox folder.

Yosemite install, all folders missing with just folder names show, but can't open.

Hi
I've just done a clean install for a relative to Yosemite. It all went well, but I'v noticed all folders on all hard drives are missing. Just the title of the folder is
showing, but I can't open them where the folder icon would be.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Do you have a backup you could restore the older version from?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset.

Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset. I have been using Lightroom 4 for 18 months now and this problem just started happening in the last month.

No error messages. It acts totally normal but just never reopens when I try to reopen a new catalog. I create a catalog for each of my clients....I have done this since I started using lightroom as it seems tidy to me. But, I have never had this problem until now. I am using a pc and vista and Lightroom 4. Thanks.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics have pixelated (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when i open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persists after updating software.

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics in my disk drive have 'dotted' (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when I open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persisted even after updating to the latest software. I proceeded to upgrade to 10.8 and updated the latest software thinking that this might resolve the problem but still stays the same way as it was. Could it be the Adobe flash player that is causing this problem? Please help.

I did it and it worked.

Try removing iTunes, Apple Application Support, and the related Apple software using Control Panel. For a walkthough on the process, check out this Apple document -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Then try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here -> Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.
