Upgrading catalog problems

When I upgrade catalog:
1. Collections are lost
2. Latest (well 3-4 months) photos are missing
What I done:
1. copied all photos to new drive
2. copied ctalog folder to new drive
3. opened catalog from new location, lightroom only gives me option to upgrade
4. I tell it to upgrade
5. new catalog has photos only up to 3 months back and no collections are shown!
Catalog from old location shows everything fine...
Configuration: Win XP SP3, LR 2.2.523352, CR 5.2, 2GB RAM, Intel quad core processor, plenty of HDD space...

It sounds like you didn't copy the catalog that you thought you were copying and got perhaps a 3 month old backup or your old 1.4 catalog.

Problems after upgrading catalog from LR4 to LR5

After upgrading a LR 4 catalog to LR5, I moved some files around between sub folders. I then went to sync up the parent folder. The dialog box said that I would be importing 12,000 photos and deleting 12,000 missing photos. My folder structure for a ctalog is a parent folder named for the year and the sub folders with the date and shoot description. I was synchronizing the parent (year) folder. When it finished, the folder structure was correct and the photos were in their new(correct) folders. However, all of my LR4 adjustments that had been made in LR4 were gone. There was no history either. It was like I was importing for the first time.
I upgraded the original catalog again and the photos were in the original locations just like the first time I upgraded. I tried to sync an individual folder and it imported 50 new files and deleted 50 missing files. Again the LR adjustments were gone. Any suggestions on how to sync an upgraded catalog without losing my prior version adjustments?
Mac OS X 10.9.2
LR 5.3

Yes, synchronizing is not the tool you should be using in this case, when you move photos from one folder to another. The proper method is to reconnect your photos in Lightroom after you moved them via: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm. But your current catalog has lost its edit information, so this will not help on your current catalog. So ...
I hope you have a backup of the catalog file before you did the synchronization, or otherwise you will have to upgrade your LR4 catalog again. Open one of those and then reconnect as in the link.
As side advice, perhaps you might want to consider using an organizing technique that does NOT require moving phtoos/folders from here to there. You might want to consider using organizing and searching via keywords and captions and other metadata, which does not require moving photos, and does not require re-linking photos, and gives you the ability to place photos in more than one "category" (keyword), rather than with folders where a photo can be in at most one "category" (folder)

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

LR5 upgraded catalog is only giving LR4 Develop module options - help!

After a successful upgrade to LR5 from LR4 on an old catalog I'm encountering an unusual situation:
when I use the Develop module the palette options are not LR5.
Instead of Shadows, for example, my LR5 catalog is showing Recover and Fill Light from LR4.
I'm working on a MacPro tower and the catalog in question is on an external hard drive.
I've checked the upgrade status and it is definitely a LR5 upgraded catalog.
I've upgraded many catalogs over the years from LR1 to now and this is the first time I've
seen this issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

You are working with images that were processed with an older version of Lightroom and process 2010. Lightroom honors those previous adjustments and retains the 2010 process. To change to the new 2012 process go to the calibration tab in the develop module and make the appropriate choice.

Cannot locate 'upgrade catalog' tab in LR4.2 file pulldown

I'm trying to bring PSE8 catalogs in to LR4.2 but I do not see the 'upgrade catalog' command in the file pulldown as shown in the LR4 tutorials.
Thanks in advance, Chris

did you try to import the images directly from disk? Does PSE actually have a catalogue?

When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed. Any suggestions? Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck.

When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed. Any suggestions? Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck. I think I may have hit Upgrade the first time. I really need this to be fixed ASAP. Thanks for your help.

Assuming iPhoto 09 or later:
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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems- Help!

Lightroom Corrupt Catalog problems reading/writing from disk when attempting to repair - Help! I have my LR box in hand and my product keys and license info but can't find the disk. I'm assuming this is the only way to repair. Suggestions, Comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Corrupt catalog will not be fixed by re-installing the Lightroom software (although if I were you, I'd still find that disk!)
If I were you, I would first check a recent backup of your catalog file, and see if that will open (double-click on it in your operating system). If that opens properly, I would just use that file.
If it doesn't open properly, then one trick that sometimes works is to open a blank catalog in Lightroom, then File->Import from Another Catalog and point to the catalog file.
And if that doesn't work, please write back with a lot more details, including operating system, version of Lightroom, and much more detail abou

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM

I bought a powerpcg5 and have been using Logic Pro 8. I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it. My brother tried pirating Logic Pro 9 and it removed my Logic Pro 8 registration information which caused me to lose my serial. I try opening Logic 8 and it asks me to register and enter the serial number which i dont have. I am in dire need as i run a studio. I need help ASAP!
-Thanks

Logic Pro 8 upgrade MAJOR PROBLEM
There was never a problem since you tried to upgrade from a pirated copy of Logic 9
Why did you even think this could go well?
I dont have any original packaging since i moved and i lost it.
Did you check Lost and Found?
I am in dire need as i run a studio.
Yet, you let your brother load a pirated copy of Logic 9.
I need help ASAP!
You really don't need help.
Why is it that when I see POSTS like these that the person registers the same day.

Vendor e-catalog problem after upgrade to SRM7

Hi all,
We are upgrading from SRM4 to SRM7 and now testing on some existing external web serivces which punch out to vendor e-catalogues. However, we found that one of the vendor e-catalog has problem and the symptom is like this:
- punch out success, vendor e-catalog welcome our logon
- when navigate on vendor e-catalog, it reports error that we have not logon
After debug with vendor IT, it seems that the SRM7 (working with portal) connect a new session for every screen change on vendor e-catalog. Due to the change of session ID, the vendor e-catalog cannot work properly.
Is there any configuration that can be done on SRM7 or portal to solve this problem? If not, what can be update at vendor e-catalog (sorry that I'm not familar with web)? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Donald

Hi Donald,
SRM 7.0 will not intiate a new session for page transition, one sesson is initiated for teh frame you are in while inside the external catalog. If new sessions are generated it must be something that the vendor catalog sends some instruction or data back to SRM with each page transition, only on Catalog checkout should the catalog application return data to SRM_SERVER.
Also make sure you are calling the catlaog with POST method not with GET
Regards,
Jason

MDM Catalog problem after SRM7 upgrade to EHP2

Now when we are using the link we get an Server error 500 from MDM SAP Netweaver with the following description:
Of course we check the regarding note without any success.
Configured links in floorplanmanager
Any help is welcome

Lightroom 4 - Catalog problem?

I recently installed Lightroom 4.0 on my new Windows 7 Home Premiun SP1 (64 bit) computer and imported my Lightroom 3.6 catalog into a Lightroom 4 catalog.
I have two problems which may or may not be related.
First:
While working in the Library, adding key words, etc., Lightroom will suddenly report in the current photo "The file named "xxxx (either .mrw or .jpg)" is offline or missing". On viewing the folder listing in the left-hand pane, all of the folders display with a "?". They did not do so moments before.
Second:
My LR4 import path is C:\Users\Bain\Pictures\My LightRoom.
However, Lightroom is displaying the folders imported since the upgrade as if they are in the root of C:
When I view the folders in Windows Explorer they are displayed properly in the My Lightroom folder.
I'd apprecaite any suggestions or help in resolving these issues.
Bain

Thanks for your reply Brett
Let me clarify the issue of the Missing Folder.
1.       The Lightroom 4 folder listing is normal
2.       While working on a photo in a folder I receive the "The file named "xxxx (either .mrw or .jpg)" is offline or missing" message.
3.       All of the folders in the folder listing are displayed with the question mark “?”.
4.       This issue has occurred multiple times.
I worked in Lightroom until I was able to recreate the “offline or missing” message, and all the folders in My Lightroom displayed ‘?’
I followed your instructions, right-clicking on the folder the error occurred in, selecting Find Missing Folder and browsing the folder location, the folder view flickered, but all folders continued to display ‘?’.
While I was typing this, the folder listing in LR ‘refreshed’ and the folders no longer displayed ‘?’
As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating.

Global catalog problem

hello everyone
in our company we are upgrading our DCs to server 2012R2 we have one Dc 2008R2 we installed another DC 2012R2 and make it GC from sites and services the problem appeared when I demoted the 2008 server I noticed that nobody in the company is able to log to
the domain I realized that even the global catalog check mark is checked the server is not global catalog when I connect through ldap I see isglobalcatalogready : false I tried many solution to make it global catalaog but no success my solution was to shut
down this server and restore the 2008 server from a previous backup now all the users can log to the domain but I only have one DC I tried to add another 2012R2 Dc but DCPromo fails on the prerequisite "check verification of outbound replication
failed error reading the ntds settings on replication source controller" I installed another server 2008R2 server since there is no prerequisite check but the same problem occured the new DC is marked as GC but it's not GC I checked port 3268 I ran dcidag
and this is the result

In addition, I just wanted to point out that the error you are receiving below, can be indicative of some sort of firewall block. Antivirus apps can do this, too, with their network protection features.
"check verification of outbound replication failed error reading the ntds settings on replication source controller"
Do you have an AV on the machine, or the Windows firewall, or a third party firewall enabled?
Run PortQRY to see if there are any ports blocked.
PortQry GUI -
Run the "Domains & Trusts" option between DCs, or between DCs and any machine (other servers you want to promote, or even from a client machine), that you want to test if there are any blocked AD ports. Post only errors with "NOTLISTENING," 0x00000001,
and 0x00000002. You can ignore UDP 389 and UDP 88 messages. If you see TCP 42 errors, that just means WINS is not running on the target server.
PortQryUI - GUI - Version 2.0 8/2/2004
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24009
Time issue?
A time skew between DCs that is beyond 5 minutes, can cause it, too. Are the clocks on the new server and the current DCs within 5 minutes? Is the PDC emulator configured to sync time to an outside or to a local, reliable source?
