Today, I wanted to utilize some older images and try out some new profiles that I have uploaded to Lightroom CC Classic. Utilizing my keyword search I found the images that I was looking for. However, there were only a few images and they were either Tiff or PSD. I wonder what happened. Did they get misplaced or when I had transferred the images to a larger hard drive did they not transfer. I decided to try an easy option and right-click on the folder and then click synchronize. Behold, the images were in the folder but not synchronize to Lightroom. I click synchronize in the missing images appeared. Thank God.

You could have also used your computer's operating system to locate the missing files - search by date created, file extension, name, drive, etc. Then direct Lightroom to their location.

Software very rarely performs malicious actions, it is usually a result of user input. The problem is, how do you remember what you did to make it happen?

The problem was the missing files were not IN LRcatalog but were in the right folder by sync the folder I imported the files into the catalog

Yes, Synchronize can sometimes work wonders.

For copying or moving files, I always use TeraCopy (windows) with verify turned on and the "more" option selected. I can see what is happening, and verify does a CRC comparison on each file. Any error is noted and the copying continues. Free version is on every computer I own and have used it for a decade. E.g. after copying photos from sd card to HDD, I then import into Lightroom. Same for when I copy photos to external hard drive.
