Picks/Rejects dissappears after remove and reimport

I have a mayor issue.
My catalog has grown to inhuman size. =(
So I tried to remove (not delete) some of the pictures/folders. Where I have a lot of Picks/Rejects, star ratings bla bla bla.
So far so good.
The problem comes, when i Reimport the files - then there are no.. I mean NO Picks/Rejects, only the star-ratings comes back up... sometimes!
Today I tried this:
New machine.
New OS (snowleopard server)
New LR install
Reboot
New catalog
Force metadata save
Check off Autosave metadata to catalog
Update DNG Previews and Metadata, before, after, before and after.
So far NO luck!
HELP!

Thanks man! Why didn't you tell me that a week ago!? =)
You didn't ask a week ago. What was the question, anyway?
How do I get around it then?
Get around what? Since the title includes the text "remove and reimport", you should know that "remove and reimport" is almost always a bad idea. If you are going to keep a photo, I recommend you keep it in your Lightroom Library Module.
My companion puts a catalog with every shoot, but that will take forever for me! Is there another way, but the hard way? Don't know about 200k pics, but too much to smile about, just by thinking of them!
I don't know what "My companion puts a catalog..." means. I also don't understand what you mean by "don't know about 200k pics" ... what don't you know?
Can someone point me to a super workflow routine, so things like this don't reappear!?
Pronouns should have clear antecedents. I will guess that the word "this" in your sentence refers to the problem you had when you removed photos and reimported. I have already explained, don't reimport ... it is never a good idea. My workflow is very simple, and causes me no problems whatsoever. 1) The photos are Imported into Lightroom from the camera card to a folder named by the photo capture date. 2) I religiously apply keywords and captions to my photos; I make collections as needed. 3) I edit my photos in  the Lightroom Develop module, and I only use other editors if absolutely necessary. That's it; that's the entire workflow. I never remove and reimport. I never move my photos from one folder to another. It doesn't get any simpler than that, and it works well for me.

  • Macbook Pro won't start up after removing and putting back battery

    One week ago I spilled two drops (literally) of water on the drag pad of my MacBook Pro (model A1278). Some of this water went down the top edge of the drag pad. Since this happened, the cursor as either not been been responding at all to my drag pad, or it has been behaving very eratically, as well as this, over the last couple of months since buying this MacBook, there has been an abnormal amount of dust in the air in the house due to some building work going on here. This being so, I decided to follow a video tutorial in you tube on how to remove and clean the drag pad. This involved getting access to the laptop by unscrewing the back, unscrewing and disconnecting the battery, then unscrewing and disconnecting the drag pad, so this it could be handled and cleaned. I followed the video to the letter, taking great care. I cleaned the drag pad as instructed, and replaced it. I did the same thing with the battery. All screws and the two simple 'plug in' connections for both the drag pad and battery have been replaced smoothly and exactly as I found them. but after putting the back panel on the MacBook, it will not turn on. It will not power up, either by the battery alone, or by using the mains power lead. There is a green light showing on the power lead input, but it is nowhere near as bright as it usually is. So I have gone from having a poorly functioning drag pad, to now having a MacBook Pro which won't even turn on! I have no idea what has happened. Please can anyone help? Thanks.

    So are you saying that it will not boot from the OSX installation disk?
    It might be worth trying an SMC reset as described here:

  • MacBook Pro rejecting CD after spin and few noise.

    It was working fine a few months ago but when I tried to read a CD from my MBP, it rejects it after spining for 1-3 times and then rejects the CD without reading it. Any solution for this, I really don't want to pay to get it fixed if it is something I can do myself. I upgraded the newest update recently, I'm thinking this could be the cause as the same Cd works perfectly fine on my IMac.
    Any advice would be really appreciated.
    Thanks Guys!

  • After Removing and Readding of an Hyper-V Network Card - No RDP Session to this W2008 R2 Host possible

    Hello , 
    I removed and after this i readded an virtual Network Card from an W2008 R2 Hyper-V virtual Machine. 
    After this RDP Connections from this VM to other Servers are working. But when i try to connect from an other machine to this VM over RDP i become the Error "The Computer cant connect to the Remote Computer" . 
    The W2008 R2 Server Firewall is disabled. The Remote Desktop Service is enabled. 
    Thanks for Help . 
    Michael 

    Hi Michael,
    1. Is the server listening on TCP 3389?  You may check this in the VM by opening an administrator command prompt and entering the following:
    netstat -ano
    If yes, please verify using Task Manager that the process id listed is the TermServ service.
    2. From within the VM, are you able to Remote Desktop to localhost?  For the test, please use a different account than you logged on to the VM with.
    3. Are you able to ping this VM from other servers/VMs?
    Thanks.

  • DNS: reverse zone comes back after remove and some follow up issues

    hello community,
    after installation of OSL i had setup dns with a primary zone.
    the automatically created reverse zone for my internal network is fine.
    whenever i enter a new system the default for the ip address is 10.0.0.1 and the reverse zone is automatically setup for this ip address.
    whenever i remove this reverse zone it come back automatically after saving the dns configuration.
    with this come some follow up error.
    server admin claim that there is no name server configured for this reverse zone.
    when i configure it the configured name server entry vanished after clicking the save button.
    when i try to configure settings i can not. i get the error message that the configuration can not be saved cause of the missing name server for the reverse zone i am not using ....
    in the log file i can see that the file for reverse zone can not be found.
    when i check the dns configuration in the shell i can see that the reverse zone file is not there.
    someone has an idea
    - whats the best way to fix this?
    - why is the gui still showing the reverse zone i am not using?
    - is the dns configuration also in the ldap db with wrong entries?
    regards
    christian

    Clean out your zone definitions, and start over. Server Admin is unfortunately seemingly fussy around the authoritative server stuff and the order stuff gets entered, and it seems you can get into a sequence where it doesn't have what it needs. I had encountered couple of cases when I was in a similar state as you're in now, and I ended up clearing and deleting the primary zone and re-adding the zone and the hosts, being careful to add the authoritative server as the first step of adding a zone.

  • C110 Workstsation won't power up after removing and reinseting chasis.

    I have a C110(HP9000) workstation.  I had been running the system and shut it down to check the display card in the 3rd slot.  I removed the chasis and removed the display card.  I replaced the display card and slid the chasis back in.  I put the power cord back in and hit the button on the fron panel to turn on the system.  Nothing happens.  None of the lights on the front panel come on and no fans nothing.  I removed the power coard and tried replacing the battery(which was dead) and put the chasis back in and tried again, still now power, to anything.  I had another spare power supply for that unit, i replace it and still the same nothing.  Is there a reset or something in the power supply itself which can be reset?  Is there anything that needs to be done after taking out the chasis and putting it back in that I did not see in the manuals?  Any help would be greatly apprediated.

  • Voicemail not working - after removing and adding Dialplan

    Exchange 2013
    Lync 2013
    I had a UM dial plan configured and it was working properly.   I removed that plan and added a new one.  The new one does not work.
    When ever you leave a Voice-mail for a user, they never get it.  If the user logs in, they still have access to old voice-mails that were left before the UM dial plan was deleted and a new one created.
    My assumption is that when you activate the user for UM, it is attaching back to the existing information, instead of using the new dial plan.  Anyone have any thoughts on how to stop this?   
    Is there a way I can just purge all UM information and start over?
    Thanks,
    Rogan

    I did, as far as I can tell the new dial plan is working.
    Currently, only I am enabled for UM in the environment.  If you call my extension, you are able to leave a VM.  I never get a missed call notification or the Voicemail.  If I manually log into my Voicemail, I have no new voicemail and only
    old ones that were left before this new UM plan was created.
    I did remove UM from my account and re-add it with the new one, that did not solve the problem.  
    Where are the VM that are being left now going, if not into my mailbox.
    Does deleting a UM remove any associated voicemails?  Should it?
    Do you know if there is a way for me to reset my mailbox, to fully remove the UM capabilities and then start over?

  • No sound and notifications working even after removal and fixing of battery

    All notifications including sound and vibrate are not working. I tried to rest the system by removing battery, but no luck. Please help in restoring the notifications.  

    Solution! 
    1) While playing the music: 
    2) Open the back cover, 
    3) Touch the connection buzzer on the back (right under battery location). I even now manage to apply pressure to the block-area without removing the cover, while playing music. Works! 
    4) Fixed!

  • Breakpoints still exist after removal and Teststart over the OI. Why?

    Hi everyone,
    We have different "user classes"  in Teststand. When I´m logged in as an admin, I delete all my breakpoints and after that I close my file without saving it. It sometimes happen, that someone else (logged in as "technician") starts a test in the OI and the breakpoints are suddenly at the same position where I place them before(although I deleted them). Does anyone know why this happens? Is there an easy way to delete breakpoints when starting a test in the OI?
    Thanks
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    Did you delete the breakpoints in the execution window (while your program was executing)? If you delete them in the running execution they only disappear for that execution, the next time you run your program they'll be back. You can check the breakpoint in the window that opens when selecting the Debug -> Breakpoints/Watches... menu item.
    You can programmatically enable/disable the breakpoints, see attached .png file for an example. If you set the preconditions correctly you can easily disable breakpoints when starting a test in the OI.
    Best regards,
    Mathijs

  • Photos on SD card missing after removing and inserting card without umount

    Hi!
    I am running Tiger 10.4.11 on my old Powerbook G4 12inch. I am hoping to get some help on an issue which resulted in some photos "disappearing" from an SD card. The story goes as follows:
    On day 1 I plugged in the SD card using a USB card reader to my Powerbook. The SD card mounted correctly and I could see my photos (~100). I then closed the Powerbook without ejecting or umounting the SD card. The Powerbook went to sleep and I then unplugged the SD Card.
    The next day I then went and took another ~30 photos with my camera using the same SD card. I could see that I had ~130 photos using my camera's built-in viewer.
    I opened my Powerbook and it came out from sleep. I then inserted the SD card into the USD adapter again. The funny thing is that the Powerbook only showed the ~100 original photos still. I then tried to eject the SD card but MacOS showed an error saying that the volume is in use so can not be umounted. I then unplugged my SD card.
    Following this I can no longer see the ~30 photos on my camera's display either. I have also tried various file recovery programs on Mac OS 10.4, 10.6 and Vista, none show the ~30 "missing" photos. I have also tried to look for any hidden files using terminal with "ls -al" in all the directories but with no luck. The trash can also is empty.
    I am guessing that by not umounting the SD card and then inserting it again the OS was still using old FAT tables or something along those lines (speculating here). The question is, any chance of recovery or any other strategies you can suggest to help?
    Thank you very much in advance and best wishes.
    Oyvind

    You may have been able to try and use Disk Utility to repair file damage on
    the SD card's storage; but the actual damage due to improper unmounting
    in the first instance is carried over to the last. So corruption of them is likely.
    There may be some third party utility for helping restore or recover data
    from these camera flash memory cards, that may help. Sometimes, it
    may be possible to see if the OS X Disk Utility can try to fix the files, but
    that may also change them or make them unrecoverable by another kind
    of utility. While I don't have experience recovering lost or erased images
    from camera memory cards, I do know such software utilities for just this
    purpose do exist. Initially, a few years ago, I noticed a freeware utility was
    offered as well as a few shareware downloads that would work, for a fee.
    Maybe that is the direction to check into, and see if you can repair and
    recover the images which were subject to damage or corruption due to
    the improper unmounting and remounting of the SD. These items act
    just like any external hard disk drive, and need to be handled the same.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can't find printer after removing it.

    Hello,
    I happen to have an HP LaserJet M1132 MFP, which was working pretty well until recently it started sending that "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" error described in the wiki. I did have dbus running, I tried running avahi-daemon, but no use. So after googling up the problem, I found out that people had the issue solved after removing and installing the printer again.
    Well, I removed the printer via CUPS web interface, and tried to install it again via hp-setup, but this time the printer is not recognized! dbus is running fine, so does cups. lsusb does seem to recognize the printer:
    Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:042a Hewlett-Packard
    Trying to manually feed the device id to hp-setup completely freezes it (and even pkilling it won't remove the window after that).
    dmesg find it too:
    [ 554.981309] usb 1-1.1: new high speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
    [ 555.066090] scsi7 : usb-storage 1-1.1:1.0
    I had it installed before with no problems.
    Anyone can help me to get my printer installed and working again?

    It sounds like you have not installed, but only downloaded it. Have you checked your downloads folder for the installer?
