How save the originals, delete Lightroom and start again?

My question may be a few questions, but basically, I need to know how to record (archive) on a cd or a dvd all my photos (full resolution) original.  I so want to delete Lightroom 2 entirely out of my iMac and then reinstall the program.  At this point, I don't like on the recording of modifications or changes PP.

Details: Basically what happened was that when I first started using Lightroom 2, I made a critical mistake.  I had an external hard drive full of about 30 000 images, some of which were copies or duplicate into separate folders, etc.  My idea was that it would be easier to sort photos and make them more organized then burn DVDs copies of the originals and then delete.  Now, I actually just a huge mess, because I started to sort the images in what I thought would work as an organized sorting system, to realize that once I moved to them I broke the link etc.  Some of the pictures are new and some are from the external drive.

1. How can I find my photos more recent... I can search by date/year? (Because they were never recorded on an external drive).

2 can I save/burn to the catalog to a disc or save the images of the inside of Lightroom? and then how to burn discs properly?

3. once I have finished recording all original images on a dvd, how can I delete all of my iMac program.  I want to uninstall everything properly to do that there is no problem when I reinstall Lightroom 2.

Thank you.  Once this mess is figured out I will review the Lightroom tutorials in order to find the best way to organize my workflow.

1. How can I find my photos more recent... I can search by date/year? (Because they were never recorded on an external drive).

In Lightroom, go to the library Module, Panel of catalog, all the photographs. Set the sort order in the toolbar under the grid of thumbnails: sort by capture time, descending. Now your latest photos are at the top of the grid and your oldest at the bottom. You can also change the criteria to sort the menu: view-> sort.

If you want to perform a specific search by year/month/date, turn on the library filter, choose the metadata section, select Date in one of the columns.

2 can I save/burn to the catalog to a disc or save the images of the inside of Lightroom? and then how to burn discs properly?

I don't know, and where you want to save the images of the inside of Lightroom. If you want to burn the images, burn all other files just like you. Your mac must have a disc burning utility, or the system may be able to do it directly from the Finder.

But why burn? Format you your hard disk before you reinstall Lightroom? You can leave the disk hard drive and reimport them in Lightroom after reinstallation.

3. once I have finished recording all original images on a dvd, how can I delete all of my iMac program.  I want to uninstall everything properly to do that there is no problem when I reinstall Lightroom 2.

I don't think that you need to uninstall Lightroom to start over with your organization. You can simply create a new catalog and import your files after you organize them as you wish on your drive.

  • Should I get rid of old files from Lightroom and start again?

    I messed up download in Lightroom and about half of my photos and files "is not found."  While Lightroom has been deleted when my PC was repaired, so my I just downloaded again.  I want to download correctly this time. No pictures is currently in Lightroom.

    I have the following locations of photo on my PC: my images, external hard drive (ED) 1 and (ED) 2.  All have bits of catalogues Lightroom etc (not the photo files can I open) on them.  I have a plan and want to know if it will work.

    I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom.  I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations.

    I can download Lightroom again and download my pictures inside of ED1.  This way Lightroom will know where they are.

    My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1.  (How can I configure this?)   I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)

    I would appreciate help as my previous attempts to solve the problem just make it worse!

    I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom.

    I assume that you know how to do it

    I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations. I then download Lightroom again

    Completely useless. Open Lightroom, select file-> new catalogue and you will have an empty empty catalog to use. You must then import the ED1 photos using the Add option (MOVE or COPY, as appropriate)

    My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1.

    I guess you means importation and not download. In the import dialog box, select the option COPY and then under Destination (on the right side), you select the appropriate folder to import into on ED1.

    I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)

    You can use the third-party backup software to achieve for the photos. You can use Lightroom itself to make backups of the catalog file (it is under the catalog settings).

    Alternatively, you can tell Lightroom to make copies of your photos to ED2 to import, as explained here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/photo-video-import-options.html#back_up_photos_duri ng_import if you do this, you will still need to make regular backups of your catalog (via the option in the catalog settings) file

  • BlackBerry smartphones want to delete calendar and start again

    I have a Pearl 8130 with Bell Mobility.  I sync using google sync for google calendar.  I have a Mac at home and do not use desktop manager or any other software to manage my BB.  I do it all right on your handheld.  I recently started major problems with duplicate entries.  Despite trying to get help with duplicate entries, nothing worked and I want to just wipe the calendar and start over.  I don't have FB loaded on the phone but the cical and the cmime are both set to my main gmail account.

    Can someone tell me please how to clear the calendar since I don't have Desktop Manager?  Or maybe a solution that works with my Mac?

    Warmly,.

    I found the answer.  Instructions are here http://www.yale.edu/its/mobile-technology/blackberry/remove-calendar-items.html.  The only thing that not removed from my calendar using this method was since then the recurring events I had with no end date.  Everything else has gone.

  • KB2862335 advisdes ready to pose, goes through the motions, said installed and start again!

    Process begins with the icon of the shield on the taskbar.
    Click the icon and screen pop up asks "Quick Installation" or "custom".
    Express Install is selected and the menu popup closes.
    By clicking on the icon, once more, brings up a window popup with "Initializing Installation", followed by:
    "Installing Update for Windows XP (KB2862335) security"
    Finally, the pop-up window change to "Installation".
    By clicking on 'Close' causes pop up and disappear shield icon.
    Within 4 minutes 20 seconds of the shield is shown again on the bar of tasks, and even the update, if selected, is identified as being installed, once more!
    This was recalled at the time, 9 times and counting.
    Please note: Microsoft Chat had suggested the use of Microsoft to fix. It has not solved the problem!
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi there I think I can help our cause.

    I had the same problem since end of October 2013 and to prevent the update boring to reappear over and over again, I discovered the following simple procedure for Microsoft update process that keeps the form of update constantly presenting update after it has been applied successfully.
    Select the option "custom install (Advanced)' instead of 'Express '.
    Uncheck the "Security update for Windows XP (KB2862335)" and press the button "close".
    On the pop-up screen appears then check the "Don't warn me about these updates again", and then press the OK"" button.  The yellow shield on the taskbar icon will then disappear and you will not be informed on new KB2862335 again.  All other updates MS will appear as and when, but less KB2862335.
    I hope this helps.
    P.S I have scoured the internet for hours trying to figure out why only KB2862335 did that and no other updates, but alas nothing, but at least the procedure above puts it out of sight and out of mind.
  • How can I change the name of a bookmark that's already in my menu other than to delete it and start again.

    I have a number of bookmarks that are long and have misleading titles because I forgot to enter a shorter more concise name when I first set bookmark them. However, I can't find a way to rename the other bookmarks that deleting the current and bookmarking this time change the title to something I recognize.
    For example I have bookmarked Ebuyer and in my bookmarks list it says, "laptops cheap, etc, etc." all I want is 'Ebuyer. I realize that I can delete this bookmark and save it again and this time change the name at the beginning.

    Right-click on the bookmark, click on 'Properties' new 'name' type click Save.

  • How disable the buttons 'Delete Proflile' and 'Rename Profile' when the Profile Manager opens at startup?

    I have multiple Firefox profiles for the various people who use my computer and I'd hate for someone to accidentally delete my profile when you go online. Is there anyway I can disable this key at startup of Firefox and just work when I open the Profile Manager?

    I was originally going to just to give everyone their own Windows login, but it is easier for me to do only in this way. Help is appreciated.

    Ignore the Profile Manager by making a shortcut on the desktop for each of these profiles. You should learn to do it now, because the Profile Manager is likely to remove Firefox pretty quickly. My guess is in Firefox 9 or 10 at the end of this year or early next year.

    I use to manage my DSL modem via an ip address. When I enter FF8 I wonder where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent the FF8 to do this?

    And now, whenever I'm in an ip address that I wonder if I want to download the file.

    This happens when the modem server does not send the file in text/html, but with a different MIME type.

    I tried adding index.html in the event that the server can send this file as text/html.

    If your DSL modem has a support Web site, then you can try asking it there advice on how to configure the server modem.

  • How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

    How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

    Hello

    There are two answers to this. If you have not saved the image since the opening, you can restore the file Menu-Revert or F12 and that will bring back you at the beginning. A more elegant solution is the historical Panel.

    Photoshop has a history panel (Windows Menu-history) that keeps track of everything you do on an image and allows you to go back in the flow of work and in effect then go ahead if you change your mind. The original image is always registered as a snapshot and then subsequent action recording. So you can come back not only the original image, but any previous change after opening. You can even take your own snapshots which is a useful feature.

    Hope that helps
