This isn't necessarily for everyone, but for anyone using Adobe Lightroom. One of the biggest problems I see people ask is about losing photos in Lightroom.
The solution, over 90% of the time, is simple. Once the photos are in Lightroom, manage them completely in Lightroom from now on. This includes moving, renaming, and deleting files. Don't do this in say Windows Explorer or the Mac equivalent. Lightroom doesn't store photos, it just points to them, so if you do stuff outside of Lightroom, Lightroom may no longer know what or where they are.
There are tools to recover missing files in Lightroom, but that can be a royal pain. Just manage them correctly in the first place. :-)
