How to move pictures and the catalogue of a new external drive on a Mac?

I found this question several times and do not understand the answers.  I have all my photos and the catalog LR on an external HD.  I need to move to an external drive more.  I tried with the Finder, but when I try to open the catalog on the new disk the pictures do not show in LR even if they are on the disc.  In a few simple steps how to do this correctly?

Assuming that the new disk is writable,

Open the catalog.

Go to the folders Panel.

Do a "find missing" on the top-level folders so that LR will know where the files have been moved to.

  • How to move pictures into the corresponding folder after changing the opening time of the photo?

    Hello

    I imported some (old) pictures scanned in LR5 (v5.6). The pictures got the time now because there is no available EXIF data, so LR5 imported in the 2014-12 record.

    After importing I change opening time (menu metadata) and renamed photos (library-> rename photos: userdefined name + opening time). In this perspective, all right.

    But the photos are still in the 2014-12 record. How can I bring LR5 to move them to the folder corresponding to the new opening time (for example, 2000 - 01)?

    Any help welcome.

    Thomas

    LR will not move files on its own, you must do it yourself, dragging them to the destination folder you want (in the left panel of the library module).

  • How to move pictures from the library of Windows Media Player to the picture library or another user account

    animated media player images

    I'm trying to move images from windows media player library of images, or if possible to another account 'user '.

    Windows Media Player and libraries contain no files, you just tell him
    where to find files.
     
    For other users to access the same files, place them in a folder accessible
    to all, such as public folders.

  • How to move a Time Capsule backup to a new hard drive

    I've been running Time Capsule on an external FireWire drive Yosemite 10.10.5 running on a MacPro to 2012. It will allow more to perform backups and disk utility fails to remove the disc. When I run the disk repair, either via the recovery disc or a USB flash drive, they are not able to repair the disc and gives me the message: "exit code is 8." The suggestion is to backup the drive and then wipe and restore. I tend to remove the hard drive because it is the second time this has happened; the first time I erased it and started the Time Machine backup everywhere with the same external drive.

    However, I am about to upgrade to El Capitan and certainly want the option to return to Yosemite if necessary.

    What should I do to transfer the contents of the hard drive damaged to a new drive and always make sure that my computer recognizes it as a backup Time Machine valid? I can clone it right on a new external hard drive?

    Thank you!

    Yes, it clones if the drive is still ok.

    On a MacPro, you have plenty of space for a real drive... or you can buy a USB key and just to make the clone.

    However, my recommendation is to download and run Carbon Copy Cloner. You get free trial use 1 month anyway. Clone startup current Mac to a USB drive or internal hard drive. And make sure it is bootable... that makes it simple to restore a computer to your old operating system running. TM cannot produce a clone bootable... nor can utility that can clone a drive but not to create a boot disk drive.

    Just keep the current firewire drive as that is the TM backup... I really doubt that you will get no improvement it cloning.

    Why I can not install Lightroom to a custom through the creative cloud location?

    Lightroom must be installed on your local disk and cannot be installed to a creative custom as other Cloud applications location. Lightroom always installs to the default location and does not take into account any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is specified.

    Hi @JVRudnick

    Can you confirm where copy you the files too? The reason I ask, if you select device or Media Card followed by a file, you will be able to copy files to and from your device.  If you select music, photo or video, however, you can only view the content, can not copy files to the device.

  • I have a Lexar card and need to know how to download pictures to the computer

    I have a Lexar of my camera card and I need to know how to download pictures to the computer

    Most of the cameras equipped with a cable to connect to a computer via usb.
    Plug in, turn on the camera, windows should it detect automatically as a removable drive.
    Use windows Explorer to access this drive and drag-and - drop photos you want on your pc.
    If you have a card reader, you can remove the card from the camera, put it in the drive and then browse your removable drive and drag and drop your photos.

    Ever photos first? It should have been included when you first update of Yosemite and now El Capitan. I know that iPhotos updates get a message like that, but I didn't know the Photos app with a message with it.
