dj_paige May 30, 2015 11:56 AM (in response to Bill Riccobono)I am not faimliar with the "rectangle" icon, nor am I familiar with "red circle with a white minus sign" icon. Could you please provide us with a screen capture?

99jon May 30, 2015 11:57 AM (in response to Bill Riccobono)Is the folder/folders still visible in the LR Library?
If so right-click (control-click) and choose update folder location then navigate to where the folder is now situated.
If the folder has a question mark you will need to find missing folder.

99jon May 30, 2015 12:37 PM (in response to Bill Riccobono)You don't need to be in the Finder applications for re-connecting.
Either your folders on the internal or external drive or wherever you dragged your pictures.

Bill Riccobono May 30, 2015 3:40 PM (in response to 99jon)The folder is the HD folder itself (see insert). I inserted or dragged my
photos to the normal HD, as I do all my photos, but somehow these are in
this icon I am unable to open. I have no idea where this second HD icon
came from let alone how my photos are in there.
As for the rectangles, there are 4 in the upper right corners. I think
this indicates only Smart Preview is available. I can't connect nor export
the edited images.
Hope this helps. Thanks for being there.

Bill Riccobono May 30, 2015 4:43 PM (in response to 99jon)Update.... I am realizing the photos are INDEED in the file they were
originally placed and one by one I am able to link them with the catalog
image (this is via Smart Image icon.... and is terribly labor intensive!).
Check marked in the "Do you want to locate this image?" dialogue box is
"Find nearby missing photos".... and 80% of the time it's not. Any
suggestions?
Thanks for helping me stick with the re-connecting. Normally, I quit
early......

ManiacJoe May 30, 2015 5:06 PM (in response to Bill Riccobono)Go to the Folders panel in the Library module.
Expand the folders doing a "show parent" as needed.
If the folders have "?" icons indicating they are missing, fix those first before trying to fix any missing files. By fixing the missing folders the pictures will no longer be missing.
