I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another.

I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another. I tried to use the copy and paste, but when I try to open the catalog on my laptop lightrooom cannot find the photos because he is always looking for them on the old hard drive. How can I get lightroom to get on the new drive? When I try to manually connect the photos they disappear just from any folder, they are in Lightroom.

Hi Mike Nature.

Greetings.

As you have already moved the catalog and the files on the hard disk up, visit this link on how to find missing images/files

I suggest you look for missing files.

The images do not disappear, but after the relining, they should be available under the new hard drive.

  • Copy of Lightroom Catalog (and a bit more)

    I am a newbie to Lightroom and quickly realized that I needed a better PC to make it the most.

    Now I want to copy my old laptop WIn Vista to Win 7 machine Lightroom. I tried to extract the catalog, but he returned and said that all previews are missing.

    My situation is this, all my RAW files are in a directory, and Lightroom is in a different directory, if I understand correctly, Lightroom does not touch the RAW files, but instead has only a 'list of changes' to do, so I guess my problem was - not able to find the RAW files, because they weren't in the Lightroom folder.

    On my new PC, I want to rationalize things, like Lightroom will be my main tool for processing the photos now. Someone can give me some tips on how to get the data from my laptop and save it in the directory of Lightroom on my new PC?

    Thank you :-) in anticipation

    Welcome!

    Let's see... first: the copy of your catalog is very easy.  Just copy it as you would any other file.  He is happy like that.  No real reason to perform the export catalog and import catalog operations.

    Your previews is not found, probably because you copy them.  Unless you have already a few 50 000 images in LR, I wouldn't bother.  Just tell LR to regenerate all the extracted when you are on your new machine.  I personally generate previews 1:1 when you import.  Under the library-> previews-> make it what you want.

    There are a number of things, if you move your imags from one computer to another:

    If you copy your images to the same exact path as before, then LR is automatically, since the refernce is stored in the catalog.  If you put them somewhere else (for example, you do not force-name your drive letter and she chose another) then complain LR (put a? mark in lists) saying that it can't find the image.  Just click right on the library page, on the top level for your missing images and tell LR folder to find them again.  It will allow you to navigate to the new location, and when select you, will connect it back up with everything below it as well.  easy!

    If you want to "rationalize" things, you can organize your images a little differently.  Almost everyone will have a different option, you can count on that.  I import by date, and my format is major_catagory-> year-> year_mon-> year_mon_day-> (images) that the 'major_catagory' has been added recently, so I might have things like portraits, nature, industrial, etc., as well as separate structures, but still allow research on the entire database.  I use not having until I wanted a more easy way out just to the structure of a file, etc.  Still not sure if it's best for me, but it works for now.

    When I import images, they automatically go into the right folder structure, I just need to select the top-level project.  Then when I do the editing and others, I do collections to group them in everything what I need.  Don't forget keywords!  Unfortuantely now, the window import always reset to "none", so you must manually reset the keywords, etc., to import.  You can create a user-defined set, but remember to select.  Previous versions of remind you lasted... like I could which selects again!

    Anyway, you will find many opinions here... use the keywords and collections... who will help a lot.

    See you soon!

  • How do I re install my copy of Lightroom 5 and active with the disc?

    I accidentally deleted my copy of Lightroom 5. How can I re install and activate it with the disk? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can download the latest version here:

    If you perform the installation on the same computer is perhaps not necessary to re-enter your serial number. But it would be a good idea to have your number of series available if necessary.

  • Restore the catalog and links after the C disk failures

    My drive C crashed recently so I replaced it with a new drive and I'm trying to reinstall all my software. My photos were all on my drive D (which is not affected). I managed to get my old C drive, works again and I installed it as a slave (now K) drive.

    I find the folder 'My project' on the old C drive and copied to the folder my pictures on my D drive.

    I then clicked file > catalog > location custom and traveled to the new location for my catalog. However, when I click on open, it waits a few seconds then the dialog box disappears and returns to the main photowell (empty): "no items match this combination of filters...» "(The filters are all checked..)

    As any of my photos have moved and I still have the orginal catalog file, I was hoping that I could just point the PE9 instal new to the catalog and everything would look as if nothing had happened... Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? I've been watching the forum posts all day and not found anything quite like my situation or solutions that help.

    The files in my catalog are:

    backupCt.dat DAT 1 KB file

    Catalogue PSE9DB 126KB

    collstatus.dat DAT 1 KB file

    face. Thumb.9.cache CACHE file 15KB

    tagstatus.dat DAT 1 KB file

    Thumb.5.cache CACHE file 10 KB

    Very grateful in advance for any help in the resolution of this one...

    Tony

    The catalog you posted (126 KB) is an empty catalog.

    Search your entire computer *.pse9db and point the largest room Organizer.

  • Satellite P300 - 190 PSPC2C - water spill and the HARD disk does not appear on the Setup

    Hello

    Spilled water on the keyboard. Laptop has stopped working.
    Dried, but did not recognize the HDD start up and HDD does not Set - up.
    Moved the HARD drive to another location of the HARD drive on the laptop and it appears at startup and boot OK.
    Is there an easy way to find and repair the defective HARD drive slot?

    Thanks for any help.

    PK

    Hello

    The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
    The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
    That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

    This is my personal opinion...

  • Adding SSD to my Mac Pro, where should I put Lightroom Catalog and previews?

    About to add a SSD 512 blade to my old Mac Pro 2009.

    I'll put all my apps on it for the quick start, but to move my user files to a drive of spinning to keep the SSD as lean as possible for maximum speed. Guess I can put the LR catalog and previews on the SSD? Can I keep in the users > pictures > Lightroom folder structure or I need to do something different? Everything I need to know to make sure I'm harnessing the power of the 512GB SSD with Lightroom and Photoshop?

    Thank you!!

    Have you tried to disable the GPU acceleration to see if that helps?

  • photos should be on the hard disk and not a network before catalog reader can find them.

    My photos are on a network drive. I created a catalog on the hard drive of my computer of these photos. When I later open the catalog, Lightroom indicates that the file is not found. Photos should be on the hard disk and not a network before catalog reader can find them?

    "Can't find" indicates Lightroom does not know the location of the photo because it has been moved, deleted or renamed outside of Lightroom.

    To resolve this problem, follow these instructions: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

    Photos can be on a network drive.

  • How can I synchronize my catalog and photos stored on my PC with my new MacBook Pro?

    How can I synchronize my catalog and photos created on my PC with my new MacBook Pro?  I can't find a tutorial on how to do it.  I have the CC of photographers and Lightroom loaded on my MacBook.

    The easiest way to configure things so that you can use the same catalog on both systems is to put the catalog and the files of photos on a single external drive, which then you exchange between systems as needed. If you configure things properly, you can even avoid having to "link" the picture whenever you pass. You do only through pictures stored in the same folder as the catalog and at the same level, for example say you have "yourname Catalog.lrcat" located at the root of a folder called "Lightroom Sync", then you would need to have all your photos in the same folder "Lightroom Sync", once again to the root, so that the photos to sit at the same level as the catalog (paste all files under a single parent at the level folder of) catalog is easier). Installation like this, Lightroom can use the relative path of the catalog of photos and avoid any need to worry about the convention of naming/lettering of the operating system. Obviously, the hard drive must be formatted such as Windows and OSX have permissions of read/write on the disc, for example FAT32.

    There are other more complex methods, (for example using something like Dropbox), but the method 'all on one disc"is by far the simplest (and probably).

  • 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.

  • I want to move a program from one hard disk to another is possible?

    I want to move a program from one hard disk to another is possible? I have the original disc to the software, but it is damaged. The hard disk that contains the program barely works, so I need to transfer all the programs and data to another drive. I used the transfer Assistant, but that will not transfer this program?

    Unless you make an exact copy of the installation CD, I'm not sure there is much else you can do.

    You can always try using a cloth and wipe the disc from the Center outward. That might do the trick. Or you can use a program like IMGBurn and create a new CD and hope for the best. Other than that, I'm ideas.

  • Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

    I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

    WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

    This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

    How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

    I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

    Thank you

    Hello just YOU

    Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

    Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

    Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

    Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

    Bye and good luck!
