Drag &; Drop of folder Lightroom on a new computer
I know that this has been answered once doz... and more... but 'find' a response that is not related to Version 3 or is several years old is the problem...
Anywho... Last week, I "literally" dragged my folder full of photos (and documents) in an external hard drive. Then I got my PC wiped clean, restored and reloaded with Windows 10.
I just downloaded Adobe Creative cloud to the new - computer laptop Win-10. I signed in CC and then downloaded Adobe Photoshop CC.
....... I am ready to download and install LR CC to my computer, but I should-
(1) made drag the photo folder is on the external hard drive to the hard drive of the laptop first? The "photo" folder is set by default the Lightroom folder with all my catalogs, backups, etc...
(2) once LR is installed... it will not have files/catalog associated with all the... And that's where I get confused when you look at all the videos of YouTube, I found... I'm confused how to get 'Lightroom' to repopulate catalogs and all the photos they were before (I have several)
(3) clarification more... In the use of 'Previous' in Lightroom - my catalog has worked with pictures in my laptop hard drive and external hard drive both. I need Lightroom to find all those pictures also.
Thank you!!!
Your operating system using, put everything back where it was before. Double-click a catalog file to open it.
Future simplification proposal: use a single catalog for all your photos.

I installed lightroom on a new computer (windows 10) cc. I copied all of my original photos on a hard drive and them imported by adding them on the new computer using the import function. I have a catalog to date backed on thehard drive and have tried to insert into the new folder to lightroom. Unfortunately none of my changes, collections etc. seem to be present on the new computer. I still work lightroom with any changes on the old computer where all the photos. Help
He seemed to have solved this problem - the catalogue of the old computer has been saved as a zip file. Once extracted, it could be used as the primary catalog for lightroom on the new computer

ITunes sees not music in itunes folder transferred to the new computer
I copied and transferred my iTunes folder from an old hard drive to new drive but when you open the iTunes application, he does not see the music in the iTunes folder. I think it may be related to that of the old iTunes folder now in the new computer. I have more access to the old hard drive, only the copies on external drives, so I cannot consolidate the music in one folder using iTunes.
The iTunes media folder location has been given as C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media and I replaced the iTunes on the new C drive folder with my old iTunes folder copied.
In this folder iTunes are the following:
-Working album Art folder
Press Kit - iTunes (6.8 GB)
-Automatically add to iTunes folder
-File mobile applications
-Record music
(individual files music here)
music iTunes-(5.6 GB) file
(other individual files music here)
-Mobile Applications folder
-Previous iTunes libraries folder
2 iTunes library .itl file
2 options in iTunes, the itl files library
library engineering 2 iTunes, itl files
1 iTunes music library xml file
So I don't see that the music data in the iTunes folder, but I don't know what is wrong.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do?
Thank you.
Restart iTunes while holding the SHIFT key, and then point it to the new location of the library.

Lightroom on a new computer - how to move photos from the LR I have on another computer
I have Lightroom 5 installed on my laptop but now a new desktop computer. I plan to do the creative cloud because I would have access to Photoshop, but wonder if there is a way to transfer my photos from my old computer LR in the new. Or if I have to buy LR still to have it on my new computer, first place. Advice please? Thank you!
Licensed Lightroom, whether it's a stand-alone license, or a creative cloud license allows you to install Lightroom on two different computers for your personal use. You can install Lightroom on the new computer, and then follow the instructions on how to move or copy the files to your current computer.
How can I move Lightroom to a new computer? Lightroom Queen
Each installation of Lightroom should have its own local catalog on a local drive on this computer. Some people use dropbox for the catalog so that it can be used on both computers. There are a lot of considerations when you try to work with different computers. But it can be done.

my new macbook pro was stolen. I had to buy a new computer and I need to re - install lightroom. is there a way for adobe to allow me to install lightroom on my new computer without having to buy it?
Thank you.
You probably have the trial installed creative Cloud version (this version cannot be activated with the perpetual license key). Uninstall the one currently on your computer this will not affect your existing catalog, preferences and other personal files. Then download LR 5.6 from the link below, install that insert your serial number and it should work fine.

Download Lightroom on a new computer?
I bought an older version of Lightroom on my now crushed macbook pro. I just upgraded to a new mac and want to download Lightroom. When I sign into Adobe, however, the only option I seem to find is to re-purchase of Lightroom. There is no information when I consult my account profile, etc... so I'm at a loss for installation on my new system. Any ideas?
Which version you want to download? Lightroom 4, 5 and 6 are here: Photoshop Lightroom Installerand you should be able to install using your existing serial number (assuming that your new computer is compatible).
