Thank's for all the assistance everyone....

 

Mike - If I'm understanding you, you're asking the root path?  If so, this is the catalog path...

/Users/Admin/pictures/lightroom

 

Catalog name is...

Lightroom 4 catalog.Ircat

 

In this catalog, I have about 20 subfolders, half of those are folders with the question marks and missing pics.  Previews are still present in the library though.

 

 

 

 

Cary - Great idea and thanks for the contact!  The folks over at the LR flicker group have been helping, but so far nothing conclusive.  I'll check the LR forums Okuna mentions also, thanks Okuna

 

 

Erik - I've tried searching filenames through the finder search.  Problem is, because of the way I import daily, I have files with the same number designation.  Just different dates.  As far as I know, and I'm a Mac dummy for sure, is that the search feature in the finder is the only one?  As far as "Why" they got moved...maybe we'll figure that out if we find the missing files?  I still think about the virus angle too....  I mean, I've never seen a computer do what it did that night.  Creating and deleting multiple temporary folders on my desktop...just while I was watching and not doing anything??  Is that a normal Mac thing???  It was that next day the issues popped up...so just a thought.

 

David - I've always imported them using the import function in LR straight from the SD card.  Now, of course, I know to do it differntly.  Like I mentioned though, I've been doing it this way for 5 years and this is the first time I've had this kind of issue.  I utilize the same couple of SD cards for my whole trip, which means basicly I'm importing then reformatting the cards daily.

 

 

Thanks again guys!

G;day Greg,
Wow, that is great for a first attempt, heaps better than my first video. Looks like you have got a good grasp on white balance. That will become second nature after a while.
You could have cut out some of the shots or atleast shortened some of them but otherwise very well done.
I am glad you like the L&M bluefin. Was all the footage shot with the 80degree lens?
Keep up the good work & post some more videos.
Cheers Pete.

Howdy Pete, Yeah I didn't even bother with the flat port. Everything was done with the 80 degree. I'll try the flat port and tripod in Wakatobi, tripod would have been tough in the drift dives of Cozumel...LOL. Thanks for the pointers also This is new too me, and I know I made some big mistakes, but I will get better with friends like yours help Thanks Amigo!!

Well, quality of what was recorded too memory was much improved today.  However....I have a bit of a head scratcher. After yesterday I set all vid to be recorded on my "A" memory card.  So... I get back to the hotel, and there is absolutely nothing from the first dive, yet every clip is there from the 2nd dive.  It's a 64gb card 5+ hour capacity.  Anyone have  any notions???  I didn't change any "save" options while out on the boat, so I'm seriously perplexed as to why nothing was saved to the card from the first dive.

Greg

**Edit - Trying to upload a clip, so far I'm really not digging my new MAC, If I had my windows Laptop, stuff would be edited and uploaded...grrrrrrrr.  Whoever said Mac's were easy  really needs to rethink that.....LOL

Good stuff Greg,
                          You should see a huge improvement in the colours if you white balance with the red filter in place. Turn off your lights though if you are using the red filter.
Looking forward to seeing some footage.
Good luck mate.
Cheers Pete.

Thanks for the heads up on MWB w/filter.  I was going to try it both ways, but you saved me the time...LOL.  I'll upload something this afternoon.
