Displacement of developer Photo setting between machines (external drive)

Hello! I keep my RAW photos on an external drive. I only plug for use in Lightroom. I LR5 now but just bought a LR6 update. I recently got a new machine, I want to install LR6 on the new machine and then start using it. Is it possible to copy the developer settings picture and catalogs to the new machine? Thank you!

You can simply move from one machine to the other catalog (lrcat).

You can also place the catalog on the external hard drive with the RAW and connect it to the computer you want to work with.

  • Looking for photos in WD backup external drive

    I backed up an iMac to an external drive WD using Machine of Tme. I would like to download some of these pictures of the WD for a Mac Book Air.

    However when I click the iPhoto library icon in the image on the WD backup file, it says that there are no photos to import.

    Where are the drive are the saved photos?

    This isn't how you get to the elements in a Time Machine backup. See the following articles:

  • Importing photos into LR second external drive

    I have all my RAW photos are currently important to an external drive. I would like to activate a second external drive start to be used for imports. You can have two and LR6 will find these photos on the drive?  If I import the photos today on a new external drive and then want to look at the pictures of yesterday, who are on the other drive, LR will find them?

    My first drive becomes full and it seems that things are very slow when I try and take down the images. I thought that maybe the full drive was the problem. My computer is not so old and still has lots of storage. And when I use applications on my computer outside of LR, they are fast.

    Thanks for any input

    Gabrielle

    Yes, you can do it. In the import dialog box, change the Destination (it's on the right side) and that it points to the 2nd disc.

  • Back up photos and music on external drive

    I stop time machine to save and then view my photos on my external hard drive? also my itunes library?

    No, but your best work of iTunes and iPhoto libraries should not be on the same drive as the backup. A drive can fail at any time.

  • How can I save a particular set of photos on an external drive. NEF files as well as everything I've done for them in Lightroom?

    Apologies in advance if this is a dead-easy question or one that has been answered countless times in the past.

    When I get back from a trip, I load all the photos of the trip in Lightroom, create a collection out of them, the best of the Pavilion, and treat them in the module 'development '. If I want to save these photos up to an external drive (most likely a USB key), I know that I can simply drag the. Files NAVE from the Finder to the drive icon, but who copies only the files raw, not the work I did on them in Lightroom. Is it a simple and direct way to choose a particular collection of photos into Lightroom and export it to an external drive, including the raw files and any relevant changes for them ('sidecar files"?)? Or do I need to do this in several steps, as by exporting this collection as a catalog separately by copying the raw files?

    I realize that I could do a back-up Time Capsule of the whole machine - and I do on a regular basis, but I want to have quick access to a back-up of only pictures of a particular trip.

    My installation includes Nikon cameras (so the ".") "NAVE" reference above), a fairly new iMac and Lightroom 5.7.

    In its default configuration, Lightroom saves only the changes in the catalog. If you selected the option to save the changes to XMP so there will be files XMP sidecar to accompany each raw file that you worked on in Lightroom. If you have not activated this option, you can select all of the images and do a 'Save to File metadata"in the menu picture. Just be aware that these changes will be visible in other Adobe software. There isn't any method of writing changes directly in a raw file. But if you back up your files on a flashdrive and then make sure that you back up your catalog on a regular basis, you should be relatively safe.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    Brian

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

  • Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

    How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

    I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

    I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

  • move el capitan photo library app on external hard drive

    Question:

    How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

    The picture of El Capitan App behaves like a virus - it takes my computer whenever I plug a phone, etc.

    There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

    (And selecting the cloud for storage is similar to trust someone else to keep forever, hundreds of concerts my confidential and important data.) "If they were to lose my credit card information, that would be correct.)

    I will not "auto-save" my photos on my drive internally, and will not allow 'Photo' me to select one different folder other than the one they chose for me on my internal drive. Whenever I select a folder from the external hard drive in the preferences, it is default to the original destination in the internal drive.

    Most discussions on the application of 'Photo' of Apple are extremely difficult to find because the results of a search of the generic name of there new beacon 'Photo' app display the results of all things by the word 'photo' in them. Go to Apple support with the name of their application as the search keyword: "photo".

    It seems that the fellows who designed Windows 8 have been able to find a job at Apple. I think it may be easier to move a photo library of Windows 8 at the library 'Photos' El Capitan that moving the iPhotos library.

    I don't remember thinking iPhoto needed to be redesigned. Simply not take 20 minutes for the Interior to appear cryptic images. And maybe be able to import large files of k 4, without crashing on every attempt.

    PLEASE SEE THE APP "FUNBOX" BEFORE THE NEXT UPDATE OF 'PHOTO '!

    in this soft - 128 GB iPhone photos appear in less than a minute, and you have the ability to save large images videos 4 k, voice memos, etc. simply by dragging them to the location desired. The good old MAC intuitive way that attracted us to Apple in the first place.

    Perhaps Apple simply tries to leave the free App company.

    RULE NO. 1:

    Applications need to be improved - not made obsolete!

    One Solution: rename the new 'photo' application in iPhoto. (I'm a genius!)

    How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

    Select it in the image folder and drag the EHD.  Once there open to confirm a successful move and then remove the pictures folder.

    There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

    With the trendy iPhone go to Photos and uncheck this box:

    Do this for each device you have.  If you have memory cards and reformat them, you will have to repeat every time.

    To kill the opening of Photos for all devices use the method posted by JadedEye:

    Re: Prevent DEFINITELY pictures of automatic opening

    in response to leonie

    OK, it worked for me on El Cap

    Open a terminal window

    Type the following in the terminal and press enter

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

    The exit of the terminal.

    Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

    If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

    This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos lance all the time.

    I don't know what you mean by that last statement.  Are you referring to export photos from your library to the EHD? Or are you referring to place your library on the EHD and its use here? The export window to select any location you want to save to.  By default, it opens to the desktop on the startup disk. But you can select any volume which is mounted by clicking it in the sidebar of the export window:

  • I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

    If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

  • I need to transfer my docs from old XP to format external drive to new computer Vista.

    This XP formatted external drive is partitioned into several directories. They stored the files wmv, songs, photos, etc.

    When I plug in USB, Vista computer said that it has found the driver DEVICE USB IA37L080ATVC07-2. But this hard drive storage has not shown in the file manager.

    Since my Office XP no longer works, I took the primary hard drive and a plan to set up as external drive to retrieve the documents and files...

    Does anyone know how to make a Vista machine to copy files from external hard drives in XP?

    Open "Disk Management" and see if the USB drive is listed, if so, then simply assign a drive letter to each partition on the USB drive. Then, open Windows Explorer and copy your files on the computer of Vista Basic.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?
