    Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

  • ITunes Library copy on external hard drive

    So I just copied my iTunes library on an external hard drive and now when I try to play a song in iTunes, I get a message saying that the file is not found. I see the files on my C drive, where they were stored at the origin. What is going on?

    What exactly did you go where? See make a library of portable split. Maybe you can put the parts back together in the correct form on the external hard drive and then shift-Start iTunes to open the library there.

  • I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function. I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I slowly imported previews of the photos selected from the library in

    I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function.

    I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I've slowly been import previews of the photos selected from the library in my catalog, adding them during the import process - well. But now, I hit a problem. Another folder in my library contains several subfolders, each containing a number of photos (a mixture of RAW steals (naves) and jpg). I was importing found in my catalog each Subfile in turn, using the Add function, usually of the jpgs only from each Subfile. It works fine, until I reached a particular Subfile. For some reason when I try to import from it and select the secondary file as a Source, only the RAW (NEF) images appear in the preview pane (sorry, forgot the correct term for it!). I know that jpg files are in this auxiliary file on the external hard drive, because when I view its content in Windows, they are all there. But try as I can (choose the file under source, select the folder parent as a source, try to copy or move them, instead of adding them), nothing seems to work. Since they do not appear in the preview pane, I can't import them. It does appear that this a Subfile where the problem exists, but I don't see anything that is different from the others (names of files under all use the same structure - yyyy-mm-dd_custom name, and pictures in all subfolders are adopting the same denomination structure too - yyyy-mm-dd_sequential number_custom name.) NAVE/JPG. So what I am doing wrong? Any ideas please.

    It is possible that the images in this particular subfolder were taken in your camera in RAW + JPEG.  If so, you will need to go to preferences under the general tab and make sure the box "processing JPEG files files next to raw as separate photos" is checked.

    However, assuming that this is the case, there is really no reason to import the JPEG file if you already have the RAW file.

  • Use as system photo library will not work on library migrated on external hard drive

    I've migrated my library of photos on an external drive to free up space.  I run pictures while pressing the option key.  Photos don't 'sees' the library on the external hard drive in order to "Choose library" is grayed out.  I select "Library" and it points to the photo library that has been copied to the external drive.  It opens and I see all my photos.  I then go to preferences and select "use as a library system.  Which turns gray.   I then released photos.  When I have photos of tenant he still does not recognize that I have chosen an external library such as my library system, and I have to repeat the whole process again to nothing does not.    My external drives are Seagate 4 TB comes pre-formatted under OS X log (Extended).  The photo album has been updated from iPhoto and now I also copy the album iPhoto on the same external drive in the case which has data that allows pictures to designate my photo album of external drive as my photo album of system.  However, I'd rather remove it because it takes up to 500 GB of hard disk space too.   I searched on the internet and other forums without success - seems to work just for everyone.  Help, please!

    pre-formatted under OS X log (Extended).

  • Reassign the library on the external hard drive hard drive

    I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive. Whenever I have add files to iTunes with the hard drive is connected, it automatically adds them to the library on the hard drive.  When I add files to iTunes unless it's plugged, it adds to a library on my computer.  I bought a new computer that has enough hard drive space for me to get all on my hard drive.  I need to just 'choose' library on my computer via the startup key option choose the method of the library and drag all the files on since the hard drive in my iTunes music folder? Wanted to ask you before you give it whirl and somehow spoil inadvertently (happened!)

    You drag the largest of the two libraries on the hard disk, choose that one and then drag media files either to the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    Hello Honduras1,

    Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.
