Pictures missing in collections when catalog has moved to another PC

Hi,
I have moved my pictures and my catalog from a Windows PC to a new iMac. The images have been moved, the image manipulation are there (separate XMP files )
The folders for the collections have been moved, but all images are empty. Not one picture is in my collections.

The proper procedure is:

Sounds like you didn't move the catalog file to the new computer

  • HT1918 What do you do when you have moved to another country?

    My credit info has changed after moving to another country and my current itunes account will only accept US information. I went to Itunes canada and changed my info, but when I try to purchase, Itunes opens and the info is US and cannot be changed to Canada.

  • Save Image ..why is it missing from Firefox when IE has it ?

    Such a fundamental thing to have as the ability to save an image is missing from Firefox and as I have gone over to Firefox from IE I am dumbfounded as to why Mozilla fails to feature this. Why is this ? I have the add on but you get 'save images from current tab', when right clicking on an image that has launched on screen after clicking on a thumbnail, and you end up with hundreds of images, every damn bit of the webpage, the big image is indistinguishable from its thumbnail and every image has to be looked at and discarded until one finds the bigger versions. Who in their right mind would want every little bit of a webpage ? The large images look the same as the thumbnails and each one has to be enlarged to see if its the big image or not.
    A task that took seconds in IE takes half an hour.
    Can we see Firefox catch up with IE6 for image saving ?

    Having now tried another website, where images do not have thumbnails, I have 'save image as', though the dropdown window is empty, no options on file type, its those where clicking a thumbnail sees a new window appear, rotating dots then the image occurs. No save image as, only the save image plugin which proceeds to capture everything. Trying IE on this I see also no save image option, so I guess its the website not Firefox. I shall have to use printscreen button I guess.
    I dont know why the dropdown combobox gives no options of file type, IE6 didnt have much but jpg or bmp was offered.

  • HT1338 why can't I erase pictures in my MacBook Air? erase pictures shows up again when I try to erase another one.

    Hi, when I try to erease pictures in iPhoto another one that has been erase earier shows up again. How to fix that?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

    When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

    Sounds like Malware.

  • Recently, when I create a new album (untitled), it immediately fills with picture either from the album above it or, if I have a Faces collection open, with the pictures from that collection. Why and how do I fix it?

    When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window,  If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library.  Yes, strange behavior.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • PS CS4/ 'Application Has Moved' and 'Missing Plugins'

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I keep a clone of my OS/Apps drive on an external firewire. After upgrading the OS on my main drive, I initialized the OS/Apps drive and made a bootable clone of the main drive with SuperDuper. Now whenever I boot up Photoshop CS4 on either my main drive or clone drive, I get the following popup message:
    I hit 'repair now' and photoshop continues to open. Before finally opening I get this popup message:
    I then go to Help-->System Info but I can't really tell which plugins might be missing or why. All of the plugins that I installed manually from the software 'Content' disk are in there correct folders. I'm not sure why this is happening. It's quite disconcerting.
    Any input will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dennis

    Application has moved: means what it says.
    Plugins not loading -- you probably are running 64 bit and have some 32 bit only plugins installed.
    The system info listing should be showing you which plugins couldn't be loaded (down near the bottom of the list).

  • Background picture missing when post at non .mac-server

    Hi, I am new at this so you have to excause me if I ask stupid qustions.
    I’ve just made a homepage using Iweb. When published at:
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/ it looks the way I want it to look, when published at:
    http://maleegarden.com the background picture isnt there. What have I done wrong?
    MiniMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the discussions, Malee.
    It looks like the problem is the name of that image (and one other image on your page AND other images on other pages). .Mac can handle names like these
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/Orkidé8-1.jpg
    But when you post those to another server, they become
    balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    Orkidé8-1.jpg
    The easiest way around it is to change those names so that they don't use any special characters, like
    balkongfontan1-2.jpg
    Orkide8-1.jpg
    If you go back through and change your image file names so that they don't have those characters, you shouldn't have a problem with missing images on these pages either:

    What is your operating system?
    Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

  • Is there a way to filter for only the missing files in a catalog folder or collection?

    I don't think there is anything more to be said on this one. 

    If you go to the catalog tab and choose all photographs and then run the menu command you will see the number of missing photos in the catalog (image below)
    You will still need to re-connect them. But if you have moved an entire folder the folder will have a question mark against the name. You can right-click on the folder name and choose Update Folder Location. Then navigate to where you put the folder and LR will update the links for all the images in that folder.
    See the link below for further information.

  • Missing Photos Already in Catalog

    Photos in one of my Collections are shown as Missing, and I can not update them because Lightroom thinks they are Already in Catalog. In fact there are two versions of all these photos in the Catalog grid view: one is shown as Missing and the other is not missing. How can I update the Collection photos without manually recreating the Collection?
    In detail: I had some photos in my Lightroom Catalog. I added them to a Lightroom Collection. All was well. 
    Later, outside of Lightroom, I decided to copy the photos to a new folder on a new hard drive. Then I deleted the original photos and folder. 
    The LR Catalog now shows two instances of these photos, a good one and a Missing Photo. When I ask to Locate in Finder the good one, LR accurately shows it s location on my hard drive. Both instances of the photos have identical names and thumbnails. The LR Collection shows only one instance of the photos and they all show Missing Photos icons. 
    When I try to Locate the Missing Photo, I get this message "Already in Catalog. the file "xxx" is associated with another photo in the catalog. Each file can only be associated with one photo." In other words, I am unable to get the LR Collection to recognize the new location of the digital file. 
    If I delete the photo duplicate with the Missing Photo icon, the photo is removed from my Collection. This is not acceptable for two reasons: I have now 449 "Missing" images in this Collection and I do not want to manually list, delete and then replace each one. I think this is the job of an asset management database like Lightroom, and I depend on it to keep accurate track of everything. 
    It has been 17 days since I opened a Customer Support case and I have had  numerous exchanges with the Adobe reps, including a 1.75 hr. phone conversation, and still no solution. Sometimes there seems to be a language problem but at other times a lack of product knowledge. Is there anyone out there that can help?

    Ok, thanks for clarifying.
    Lightroom does not create duplicates on its own. They arise usually because the user did something, perhaps accidentally. By any chance, did you ever tell Lightroom to "Synchronize Folders..." ?
    Lightroom does not follow or find your photos if you move them outside of Lightroom. My recommendation for newcomers to Lightroom is to always move or rename files and folders from inside of Lightroom.
    If I understand your situation properly, I think the solution to your mess is as follows: First ... in Windows or Mac Finder (the only time I ever recommend moving things in WIndows or Mac Finder  is to fix or unfix previous moves in Windows or Mac Finder)  ... move (cut and paste, not copy and paste) the photos back to where they were. This should connect the copy that is now "bad", and fixing the problem in your collections. Second, in Lightroom, delete the copies on the new hard drive, which should now be disconnected. Now, you should have one copy of everything (including in your collections) that is connected and usable in Lightroom. Finally (optionally), if you want your photos to reside on the new hard drive, then inside Lightroom, move them to the new hard drive.
