Hi Jake, Depending on your situation and what is considered missing/offline, it is best to start at the folder level (if entire folders show as missing) and at the highest parent folder, so that by simply reconnecting that folder you reconnect all photos and folders within that parent folder. If the folders show as online/available in the Folders panel and you just have individual photos missing within a given folder, then reconnecting at the individual photo level can only “look” for nearby photos within the folder where the selected photo resides.

One question: I’ve used the “Find Missing” command but it only seems to work for the one folder I’m working in at a time. The surrounding folders don’t seem to get updated.

Is there anyway to “expand” that locate nearby photos command to the entire library?

You can either rename them back using Finder to what they were originally (essentially undo-ing what you did), or you can reconnect the catalog to each photo one at a time. As a last resort, you can remove them from the catalog (losing any work you may have done inside of Lightroom) and then import them as new photos. If you have not done any work inside of Lightroom then the last resort is the easiest and fastest option. If you have done a lot of work inside of Lightroom, then you need to pick the least worst option of renaming or reconnecting.

I was in a hurry at the time and just needed to get them in, so I renamed the files after the fact, and now I have close to 50 photos that I’ve made LR alterations to that I’d prefer to not have to redo. The thought of having to reconnect one at a time is cause for tears. Is there some way to remedy this that doesn’t feel like having to reknit the sweater? Fingers crossed!

They can take suggestions from iTunes error 3194 that will guide them for resolving these issues.
