Copy the library and photos after failure of the motherboard

Hello.

PC my children of motherboard has failed. Fortunately, I was able to access all data at the old and copied disk on my machine. I need to replace the motherboard, processor, and memory. Everything works OK again.

Files in the library of my son were all in his record 'My images' which I have a copy. What is the best way to return without needing to import everything again. I have a copy of 'Lightroom Catalog.lrcat of 4' - I have a copy of the old complete folder.

Thank you so much for your help.

Best regards

Deon

If you keep the same structure of folders and files for the images it was, everything will work perfectly.

In fact, it is not so important when you put the catalog or images as long as you keep the structure of folder images even. If you change the absolute path to her allows images LR you remap him path and if the structure is still the same you only must remap the file in the foreground and the computer will find the rest...

  • How to copy an iPhoto Library AND photos

    With the help of iPhoto Library Manager I made a copy of my iPhoto library to a new external drive, but I noticed that when I opened the library copied, the photos it contains are always referenced to the original photos, no copies on the new drive, as I had hoped.

    If as expected, how a copy an iPhoto Library AND photos referenced to a new location, on an external drive, as is any independent on the new drive?

    Thank you

    Geoff

    Simple:

    Go to your pictures folder and find the iPhoto library here. Drag it to the external hard drive. It will make an exact copy it

    Fact.

    Warnings: the player must be directly connected (USB, lightning etc.) and Mac OS extended (journaled) format

    Are you running a Managed or referenced library?

    A managed, library is the default setting, and iPhoto copies the files in the iPhoto library during import. The files are then stored in the library package

    A referenced library is where iPhoto does NOT copy the files in the iPhoto Library when importing because you have made a change to iPhoto-> preferences-> advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files in the library to import) The files are then stored wherever you put them and not in the library package. In this scenario, you are responsible for the management of files.

    If you have a library that is referenced, then it is much more complicated.

  • Library of photos after the beta

    I used the beta version of El Capitan, and today I've downgraded to usual El Capitan. The problem is that I can't use pictures. Only, it does not support my library and I can't use it. I tried to recover, but 95% it says error. So, what can I do? Y at - it an option to use my library with an older version of Photos or should I wait for the new OS?

    You may not use the Beta version of your library with the current stable version of MacOS X.

    If your library is a library of photos from iCloud, you can create a new library and make your Photo library system, then download from the library to iCloud.

    Or restore the version of your library from the backup you made before you upgrade to the beta version.  But if not, you will have to wait for the next update of the system.

    We are not supposed to discuss the beta versions of the software in these forums, so your question might soon disappear.

  • How to copy a library of Photos to iCloud on multiple Macs using external drive

    250 GB +, it seems much more efficient to copy my library to a portable external hard drive and then manually copy the other 2 Mac, I want him to.

    But I just tried this and the 2nd Mac I copied it to past all night "sending" to iCloud. Which is meaningless because he has just received a very up-to-date copy of the entire library.

    I'm worried library iCloud is stupid enough so that it is now useless re-upload the your entire library. Where all he had to do was sync. Dropbox seems to be a lot smarter about what iCloud.

    Silent - not at all - when you move the Photos of the library must check that the library is identical to the version of iCLoud - it says downloading but is really check - trary

    is the only possible way if can tell what's in the library the ICloud lib complare

    probably the best way is to simply use iCloud photo library and do not try to outsmart it - login to iCloud on each system bearing the same Apple ID and turn on ICPL and let it download to each system

  • How to import pictures to my library of Photos on Macbook Pro if I moved the library to an external drive to save space?

    Recently, I copied my library of Photos (Yosemite version 10.10.5) on an external drive, so I can then delete it to free up disk space. I've read some older articles (a few years), because I can't find the newest, who speak of creation and management of affairs to a new library, but it does not appear to match the drop-down menus, I work with that.  I myself as much as to rename the Library copy, I still have on my Macbook Pro, but don't know what to do to go from there, since I seem to be outdated instructions.  I have not removed the library still existing on my Mac because I fear that I won't be able to undo everything I do.  Can someone enlighten me please?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Pictures always open and use the last use library - hold down the option key while launching Photos and choose the library on the EHD (note the EHD must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), be connected via a fast wired connection and should not be used as a backup volume Time Machine)-a complete test it and then you can remove the library on the internal disk (test once more before emptying the Recycle Bin)

    I have inserted the USB, but how do I copy my videos and photos?

    ==========================================
    USB hard drive? USB flash drive? Something else?

    OK... something to try... (General guidelines)

    Connect the device to a USB port on your PC...

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the device. He can say removable disk

    If the device is recognized... left click the drive letter
    and the directory of the device must be displayed
    and if you browse different folders, you
    need to find the photo and video files.

    Once found, you can copy pictures/videos
    in a folder on your hard drive.

    Just click with the right button on a group of selected files and choose...
    Copy... then navigate to the folder you want in and
    Right-click on the folder and choose Paste.

  • I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

    Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

    Thank you in advance for the answer...

    What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

    Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

  • I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

    I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

    I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

    I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

    I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

  • MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

    Hi all

    I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

    I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

    First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

    However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

    Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

    Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

    If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.


    The questions are the following:


    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

    And then after trying the 'search App Store':

    I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

    Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

    Thank you very much!

    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

    Open the Finder preferences:

    • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
      Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

    Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

    Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

    Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.
