Lightroom :: All RAW Images Have Disappeared On Start Up Of LR3
Feb 10, 2014
I operate Windows 7 with Lightroom 3. My catalogue is held on an external drive from my PC. I have tried to open my catalogue today, but my images (17,000 plus) have disappeared, although my folders are still present. I have the RAW images backed up on a separate drive and the catalogue backed up in two parts by exporting these two sections as separate catalogues to another drive. NO MATTER WHAT I TRY I CANNOT GET THE IMAGES TO LOAD. This is the second time this has happened and I am loathe to start reimporting copies of the RAW files only to lose them (and all the work I have done on them) again. What can i do to get the images and the ones i have adjusted back? I find lightroom a brilliant tool except for this issue of losing images and work.

I am currently using the old Lightroom 2 on a windows .. i have 2 questions..
1- if i update will my images/catalog.library disappear?
2- ALL my images have disappeared and i dont know how to locate them - one of my catalogues in the library were missing so i right clicked and pressed find missing file then i located it on my external hardrive and i think i pressed ok now the entire folder does not even show in my library!
i am doing something wrong when i import pics in , and i cant find missing files, i remember a while ago i moved all images off my laptop to and external hardrive but even whe i plug it in i cant find them and all files are dated so its hard to know whats what.. I am trying to apply for a photography job and i cant locate them to put a pdf folio together.

I upgraded to 4.1 form 4. When I restarted I connected to my catalogue. I git a message asking if I wanted to convert images for 4.1. I said OK. Now I cannot see any images in the catalogue. The image information (ie, name of image and a blank space where image would be) are there.

I have a folder with no images in it that were there. I right click and synchronize the folder and grayed out images appear. Mousing over an image produces a message that says this image is alread in library. How do I recover to see images?

I have been using the Niksoftware suite sucsessfully with LR4 for over six months now on Lion OS. Tonight for some reason when I came to edit an image they were no longer in the "edit in" command when I right click, only Viveza is there.
I have tried to activate them in the pluggin manager but they are shaded out so I am unable to.
In the preferences I am only able to open/select on of the pluggins as my "external editor" I have selected all individually and they all work fine so no issues there. They are also still in my applications folder and open when selected there too so I am totally puzzled as to why they were in the command last night and for the last six months but not tonight when I have changed no settings at all. Interestingly enough my watermark also dissappeared and I had to remake that, is there a reason for this?
To make matters a little more interesting I have to give a bride her images on Monday so need a fully functional suite of software this weekend.

When I opened Lightroom, all my photos and folders had disappeared. I thought I might've opened another catalog, so I went to File > Open Recent, but there was only the one catalog listed

Somehow I managed to "disappear" the thumbnail slider for resizing that's usually shown in the bar just above the Filmstrip. Missing in Library, Develop and Slideshow modules. I don't see a pull-down where I can reselect it. Had difficulty searching for info in PDF. Using Lightroom 4.1, Windows 7.

I am using Lightroom 3.5. I imported todays shoot into Lightrooms catalogue. They were converted from raw to dng. But only when the import was finished did I notice that all my collections and photos were missing. Before I went to my most recent backup I went to my catalogue and double clicked Karls catalogue.lrcat. This restored all my collections and photos, except for todays import.
When I open Lightroom I always hold down Alt so that it opens my catalogue rather than creating a new catalogue, but I must have not pressed Alt hard enough or something because I suspect Lightroom did in fact create another catalogue. I did a search for .lrcat in windows explorer and found my catalogue and 3 backups on my external drive, however I also found Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat in C;/Users/Karl/Pictures on my laptop.
How can I retrieve todays import and put it onto my catalogue?

All of a sudden, nearly all profiles have disappeared. I first noticed this with my Sony RX1, when I went to apply the profile correction, and there was nothing. Usually the program identified the camera automatically. When I looked at old pictures, it was the same, nearly. If I used "custom" then it would give me only Nikon and/or Sony, but only one lens for each camera, not relevant to what I had used to take the photograph. For some pictures it would recognize the lens, but it would not give me options to change it (if I wanted to).

Worked fine until tonight... the export window completely vanished. I installed the 4.2 update, no luck. Restarted the computer, nothing. Uninstalled LR completely and re-installed it, still nothing. I can't view the window with the options regarding export, making it impossible.

I'm new to Lightroom - just downloaded v.4 a few days ago and love it. Just now I installed OnOne presets (free pack recommended by Lightroom website). When I opened Lightroom after installing, my Develop module options had changed - few options, no "shadow" option (now it's called "recovery"), etc. I uninstalled OnOne but problem is the same as before.

When deleting photos I used to get a dialogue asking if I wanted to delete from catalog only or from disc as well. This dialogue has suddenly stopped appearing - very frustrating as deleting now only removes photo from the catalog. Clearly I will often want to get rid of the photo from disc to avoid clutter.
