SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF ALL FOLDERS FROM FOLDER PANEL

I use LR5, iMac ans 10.8.5. Have done so sucessfully for some years.
Suddenly all the folders listed in the folders panel have vanished. The photos all appear to be present, but there is absoultely no folder tree.
I was dragging an image from one folder to another, while in LR. When I let up on the mouse all the folders were gone. I have not been able to show them. I don't want to close LR for fear that I will lose all the days work.
I SHOULD ADD THAT I JUST NOTICED THAT THERE IS AN ASTERISK NEXT TO THE FOLDERS SELECTION IN THE DROPDOWN MENUS FOR THE FOLDERS PANEL.
I fear I have touched some combination of keys and/or mouse clicks.
Do not want to try to reload catalog as am afraid will lose todays work, or more.
thanks,
vince

Hi Vince,
I suspect whatever damage may have been done to catalog (probably none) is now water under the bridge - you might as well shutdown Lightroom and try again - probably it's an Lr/UI bug thing, and not a catalog thing (my publishing services used to do a similar disappearing act - had nothing to do with catalog).
Maybe give that comment a few hours to percolate here on the forum before you act, in case somebody knows better...
Can you smart collect by folder name? for example:

How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and now all the file folder icons are pale blue on the desktop and elsewhere. My desktop is green and those light blue folders do not look good on a green background.
How can I change the color of the folder icons to another color?

Hi ys,
You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

Barry

Reading all files froma folder

Hi ,
Does anyone know how to read the data from all text files in a given folder?
I mean does text_io recongnises a certain sintax to do this?
Thanks,
Sandu

Well
I'm having problems initializing a java.lang.String as ora_java.jobject.
I was able to import in forms my class ,(wich works ok when tested like standalone java class,it returns all the filenames from a folder),a package was generated on the form for it.
But,I've got to pass it the folder name as a String.
I've imported java.lang.String as ora_java.jobject,and a package was generated on the form.
When I try to call string.new('c:\work');
it won't compile,it says invalid reference to variable String.
What should I do?Is there any predefined Type in ora_java package for java.lang.String?
Thanks,
Sandu

LR5 after crashing doesn't import all folders from backed up catalog

Hello,
yesterday my LR crashed and not surer why. Just came to my mac and for some reason LR CC quit itself and when I press to launch it it asked me to import files from the catalogue as if you would start fresh install.
I used last Lightroom backup file, but for some reason it imports all photos apart of one HD and that one has most recent photos on it. Not sure why it is not including that HD. I tried to import images manually, via import photos dialog. Works fine apart that I have lost all edits on them. It just imports them as fresh photos without previews. There are quiet few weddings on it and I really don't want to reedit all this.
When I tried to import photos from different catalogue, nothing happens, it doesn't allow me to add those photos from that one HD. Everything is just greyed out and I can't do any selections.
How to get my edits back? Was thinking to do a clean install and try again my last backed up lrcat file. Just afraid that I would loose all my edits.
Thank you,
Regards,
Armands

+I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.+
Good thinking! The only way to change the filename in iPhoto is to export the movie file, import it back in, copy over comments, keywords from the old to the new movie, and then delete the old movie.

HT1277 How to transfer all folders from hotmail account to Mac email (like iphone/ipad) ?

Please let me know how to change setting if I like iphone email.

Hi again Chris,
I transferred all the data from the son-in-law`s 4s onto my Mac as described in the article but for some reason the photos he had on his phone did not seem to transfer across as far as I can tell because once I did the transfer back to his new 5c phone there were no images there. He tells me everything else he had has come across. The only other thing he said was that he lost his place on the App Candy Crunch. The app has appeared on his screen but he has been sent back to square one to start all over again. I talked to him today and he is not too bothered now about that although I think he was at level 247. His only concern now is his images which were many of his children etc. which he would still like transferred to his new phone. I have not done anything yet to his old phone as of yet until I solve the photo problem. What I did do was to download all the images to a separate file on my computer so at least they are not lost completely and are still viewable on the 4s. Any ideas as to why they are not showing up on the backup I did to iTunes?
Apologies for being so long winded about this but I wanted to give you as much info as possible to consider.
Thanks for your help in this matter - appreciated.

ITunes doesn't adds all files from folder?

Dear Apple,
I'm having *itunes 8.1.1*,and i do like this;
file -> add folder to library (or something, it's in dutch).
And he only adds 397 files of 1030 in that folder.
How come? *Please help me!*
Tom.

nope, nothing happens
Well if they will not add one at a time, then adding a folder full of them will not work either. So...
Are you sure they are MP3 files? If so, see if they play in another player, such as Windows Media Player. If they play in WMP but not in iTunes, then the problem may be minor corruption in the MP3 headers, which can be cleaned up in a tool such as MP3 Valdator, as Garth mentioned.
If they will not play in either iTunes or WMP, then you can suspect that they are not valid song files.

My users folder has 140GB used on it, but I cannot find where it is getting that calculation. I went through all of my folders and opened them all in an info panel, and they all come out to about 30GBs. Where is the rest of the data? -Using Mountain Lion

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

Why did my photo stream (iCloud photo folder) all of a sudden disappear (and never came back)?

So, one of my photo streams (folder) have disappeared today all of a sudden (with others too) and it never came back, unlike the other ones :/. I don't know how come (though( :/. It included most of my trip photos (for this month). Someone plz help!! ;(

Photo Stream in iCloud is not your storage area, it's only for your convenient to stream photos to other Apple devices you might have.
1000 photos for 30 days, so you have enough time to backup important photos.

All emails suddenly disappeared from my iphone 5c inbox

Emails from my comcast.net account suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5c inbox and I cannot receive new ones. They still show up on my iPad and my laptop (both Windows Live Mail and Xfinity. I'm using OS 8.1,3, Ideas?

Yahoo's servers are notoriously bad. Yahoo will have to fix the problem. It's not an Apple problem, or an AT&T problem (except for the fact that AT&T chose to contract their email service out to one of the worst providers on the planet).
Try downloading and using the Yahoo mail app from the app store.
