Upgrade to Lightroom 4 Version 4.2 has caused loss of every photo's history

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to recover?

No...and your explaination is not gonna get you much information. What OS? How did you upgrade from LR 4 (was it 4.0?) to 4.2? Are you sure you are opening the correct LR4 catalog? Sorry, but your question as asked isn't likely to get much in the way of useful answers...

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.

    Library Duplicated
    I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • Upgrade of Lightroom Student Version

    Hi,
    I want to buy the Student Version of Lightroom 5 (No Cloud).
    Can I update this Student Version to Lightroom 6 when available? If yes can do I have to buy the full student version again or can I as well by the normal update Version if no longer a student?
    Regards
    Fabian

    Yes you can upgrade through the regular process. Your LR 5 is the same program as the regular application you just got the license key at a discounted price.
    If you still qualify you can go through process of purchasing the Student Version which will more or less be around the same price.

  • Upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain has caused me problems

    After upgrading to Lion a year ago or so I developed a problem on my MB Pro that I'd never had before. (1) My Mail app starting acting funny. I'd compose an email then click send, but it would sit in the Outbox--for hours, even days. I had to login to MobileMe to send mail and to get Mail. And (2),  my system would frequently crash. If I left 3-4 apps open and then went and had lunch, for example, when I came back, my system had crashed. The screen was blanked out, and I had to move the mouse, kind of use it like an eraser to erase a part of the crap in the foreground of the screen so that I could see my login, after which I would enter my password and then login. After login in I would find that all of my apps had either crased or were frozen. I thought it might be that I needed to upgrade my Memory, so I upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB, but this didn't do any good.
    So...after Mountain Lion came out, I upgraded, hoping by some miracle this might solve the problem. But no, the problem persisted. I had AppleCare and so I called Apple three times about this problem, but they couldn't solve it either, although one senion tech adviser did manage to get my Mail app working again. He went to some folder (I wish I'd noted what this folder was at the time but I didn't), found there was sever gobbly-gook or junk files inside it, and then proceeded to delete them. After this my Mail app worked OK but the other problem persisted.
    A week ago I backed up everything on my MB Pro to my Time Machine BU, bought a new Mac Mini, and then used Migration Assistant to import all my data from the  Time Machine BU. I was hoping for a miracle--i.e., hoping that this problem would disappear. But not only has the problem not disappeared, I now can't even use my Mail app on the new Mac Mini. It is completely disabled...plus I still get the random crashes. I am getting by using my old MB Pro. I've transfered back to my MB Pro my essential files and I am using it while I try to figure out what in the **** is going on with the original data on my Mac Mini.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on
          the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero
            Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I have upgraded to the lastest version but I still get the popup every few days to upgrade, is something wrong or do you really have that many new upgrades?

    I downloaded the new upgrade and did what the box told me to do and after the upgrade I still get the popup box telling me to upgrade to the same Firefox version 3.6.10.

    You are currently two versions behind in updates, '''3.6.12''' is the latest version.
    Updates usually happen on the average of like once a month, but occasionally an update can occur within a week of a previous update - especially when a major security fix is needed, like what happened with 3.6.12 and 3.5.15 this week.

  • Latest version 3.620 has caused my old imac g5 to grind to a halt! time travelor won't let me go back to previous version; how can I get previous version and install it?

    after downloading latest firefox my old imac g5 gives me a color wheel after every couple of keystrokes like the computer is choking to death. I have cleared cache, cookies, you name it, nothing will make the computer function anymore, it is almost useless it is so slow. I need to get back to the previous version of firefox until I replace this computer, which will happen soon, but not soon enuff to deal with this

    I would not think older versions are supported. Firefox 3.6.20 will be a security fix and should hopefully not be expected to cause problems.
    I am not a Mac user and do not know the likely spec of a G5 but obviously it worked previously, have you tried it in [[safe mode]]. (but do not make changes, just click on continue.)

  • Changed apple ID has caused loss of access to email on macbook but not phone

    I have a MacBook Air and a iphone 6 plus. I just upgraded the Macbook to Yosemite.
    I have 3 email accounts that I use. A hotmail, a gmail and a me.com.
    I changed my apple ID because it is linked to an old hotmail account that I cannot access. This seems to have worked on the phone and on iTunes.  The problem is I cannot now get my me.com emails on my macbook (they are still on my iPhone).   I have tried adding the me.com account. When it goes to the screen where you tick what you want to access this is blank.
    I also tried going to internet accounts.  There is a tick box for iCloud there but at the top it keeps asking for my login under my old apple ID.  I have tried to delete the account and re-install it. It will not let me and gives a message that says 'remove I cloud from all internet accounts'.
    I am thoroughly confused and don't know what I need to do next. But I do need to access the me.com account from my laptop as I use it for my small home business.
    Any thoughts or tips would be gratefully received.

    I only watch the Apple TV occasionally.  Each time I turn it on, I have to re-enter the wifi password even though it shows it is connected with an IP address assigned and good signal strength.
    I can't seem to find a solution to this issue.  I have every other device known to man connected to this wifi with no issues.  Android Tablet, Phone, iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC, none of which every require me to re-enter the password.  I am an true fan of Apple and "Just Works" tag line, but this Apple TV thing is challenging me faith...

  • Cant import photos from EOS400D after upgrading on Lightroom 1.2

    Hi,
    After I upgrade my Lightroom to version 1.2 I cant import photos from my Canon EOS 400D.
    If I go File Import from device... this option is grayed and cant be chose.
    If I click on Import button on Library panel, window with EOD 400D button shows but after I click on it, message No photos were found to import shows.
    Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Richard,
    I've checked my Preferences. On Import tab checkbox beside Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photoswas unchecked. If checked result is same, Lightroom imports only jpeg's.
    Any other suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Bojan

  • TS5376 Downloading the upgrade to 11.1.4 has caused timewasting problems and errors - R6034 - and no solution. What's gone wrong?

    Downloading the upgrade for iTunes to 11.1.4 has caused timewasting problems and error message such as R6034. I have followed Apple's advice to reinstall iTunes, but still have the problem or error messages and no iTunes. What's going on? Upgrades until now have all worked smoothly.

    Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following user tip?

  • As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version?

    As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    LR on your laptop is still a desktop version.  It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
    I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time.  Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

  • Every image I have edited since upgrading to Lightroom 5 has been corrupted.

    Every image I have edited since upgrading to Lightroom 5 has been corrupted. First I was shooting in RAW and there was an issuw with my operating system. I upgraded to Maverick and it was supposedly fixed. Then there was an issue because LR didn't work with my camera (Nikon D90) and an update supposedly fixed that. So I finally started shooting JPEGs to try to avoid the RAW issue altogether... Now even the JPEGs say they are corrupted. I am at my wits end! Somebody please help me figure out why I can't seem to do ANYTHING anymore!

    >When I go to the files in finder, the corrupted NEFs are not able to be
    seen, but the corrupted JPEGs are!
    They don't open or do you get a blank screen when you try to open them or
    do the files not have icons? It's a good sign that your jpegs are visible
    though. That does make me think the preview database or catalog in
    Lightroom is screwed up.
    >When I try to plug the camera into the computer with a USB cord it doesn't
    recognize it
    What happens when you plug the camera in turn it on and select import
    photos in Lightroom? You should get to see the images on the camera. Try
    different USB cables if it doesn't work. Also try changing the USB mode on
    your camera. I think the old Nikons had a setting to change between PtP and
    Mass storage mode. Just changing it might make it work. This all does smell
    a little like the USB ports are bad on the computer something they should
    be able to diagnose at the Apple Store but you might want to ask about.

  • Can I upgrade my Lightroom 3.6/Camera Raw 6.6 version to the latest 5.2 version?

    Can I upgrade my Lightroom 3.6/Camera Raw 6.6 version to the latest 5.2 version?

    “Camera Raw” is the name of Adobe’s photo-processing engine that supports raw files.  The phrase commonly refers to the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop; however, less often, it merely refers to the version of the Adobe engine whether it is that of the plug-in or in LR, itself.  Unless you are talking about Photoshop then just say LR 3.6 and there’s no need to also say Camera Raw, because that will be confusing to people who are also familiar with Photoshop.
    If you are interested in buying LR, then go to Adobe’s Updates page and download the LR 5.2 update and use it in Trial mode for a while to make sure it works correctly on your particular computer, then you can go buy LR from Adobe.com and input the serial number you get into the trial LR but there’s no need to download and install the LR 5.0 version because that’ll be older than the 5.2 update you’re already using.

  • I have just upgraded to Lightroom 5 and my pictures that were from an later version came over but read on each picture "File can not be found"

    I have just upgraded to Lightroom 5 and my pictures that were from an later version came over but read on each picture "File can not be found"

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

  • I have Lightroom 5 and not sure if upgrading will make mine version 6 or do I need to purchase a new version? [was: Question]

    I was wondering if anyone could please give me some advice. I have Lightroom 5 and not sure if upgrading will make mine version 6 or do I need to purchase a new version?
    thank you

    You can buy the upgrade and it will install version 6 (with your version 5 serial number making you eligible to pay the lower upgrade price).
    Only those who have never previously owned Lightroom must pay full price for the full version of LR6.
    The program code for full and install is identical. The only difference is the price you pay.
    Version 6 will install alongside your version 5. It won't remove version 5 during the installation process. It's up to you whether you leave version 5 installed or uninstall it.
