Lightroom 4 new computer

I followed the steps precisely as lined out in the following video:

http://TV.Adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-Julieanne-Kost/how-to-migrate-LR-to-an other-computer.

However, the migration does NOT work.  Here is my initial configuration:

Lightroom 4.1 on desktop.  .lrcat files are stored on the C drive of the computer.  Photos are stored on directory MS Exchange Server.

Moving to:

New office with Windows 8.  Just installed Lightroom 4.1, not 4.2 since the original computer was only 4.1.  Copied all the pictures of the server on the new hard drive.  Followed the instructions in the above video and loaded said files on an external hard drive.  Moved those files to the new computer, install in the same directory as the other computer.  Open the .lrcat file.  Because previous records were redirected to the server, I remove these from the file toolbar, which is when I lose the tags of Collections.  The location of this directory even import from the NEW C drive computer.  Now I see in the directory, only that I imported, the images are duplicated and duplicated.

What has happened in the meantime:

Followed by another set of tracks on the internet where you "export" as a catalogue.  I brought the files to the NEW computer and started making changes.  Then, I noticed that there is a problem.  Not all the photos came as they should have.  I had to print screen all the new changes I just made on the NEW screen and made these same changes on the OLD computer, so I could have a computer with common files for all.  This is where I did a new search to find out how to transfer files and found the video above.

Now, in a directory, I have the following problems:

Image 1 - has the original file when changing brush pins are visible.  However, the changes are changes to origin of the OLD computer, not the ones I've done recently.

Image 2 - Image, but without pins or changes on the panels.  It's as if it's the original file as it was taken by the camera, which is not.  I should mention here, these special photos that I work with are .jpg.  I would like to make. NAVE, but cannot solve these problems to even start watching in others.

Picture 3 - the original photo in its color.

My problem is I do not know one to use and I don't know if my other are coming through incorrectly.  I don't want to start working on a new computer to see my other images didn't transfer properly and I have two versions on two different computers.  I do NOT copy the images .jpg from the server to the NEW computer after their up-to-date with recent changes.  I didn't get it because I thought that these changes were stored in the catalog.  I have copied the new files on again on the hard drive?    I confirmed that I use the correct .lrcat file.  The strange thing, however, when I copy my OLD external computer .lrcat file hard drive it shows a date 01/01/13.  When I copy from the external hard drive to the NEW computer, the date changes at 12/25/2012.  I double checked this and done it twice.  Both times, he changed the date on me, but may not be a big problem?

Who can help me understand this point, I would greatly appreciate.  I have been working on it for 2 days now and can't get one right implemented directory, not to mention, my Collection tags lacking now causing additional work.  And perhaps that nothing of all this.  If someone can tell me how to install Lightroom on a new computer while moving the photos on a server and placing them on the new computer, that would be great!  I am at a point with the new computer I can start over completely.

Thank you!

Eva

Because previous records were redirected to the server, I remove these from the file toolbar, which is when I lose the tags of Collections.  The location of this directory even import from the NEW C drive computer.  Now I see in the directory, only that I imported, the images are duplicated and duplicated.

I have not watched that video in particular, but I can imagine it as the instructions in the video. It is a mistake. You don't delete these folders in the folder Panel. Instead, you just right-click on the top-level folder and select 'Find the missing folder', then to point LR to the new location of the photos. That's it, you're done.

So, I would go ahead and repeat this part:

New office with Windows 8.  Just installed Lightroom 4.1, not 4.2 since the original computer was only 4.1.  Copied all the pictures of the server on the new hard drive.  Followed the instructions in the above video and loaded said files on an external hard drive.  Moved those files to the new computer, install in the same directory as the other computer.  Open the .lrcat file.

and follow my instructions above.

  • Lightroom on new computer or an old computer to migrate opening?

    Hello

    I got a new iMac 27 "with all updates. I intend to install and use lightroom for my huge photographer portfolio. I have Aperture on my old computer.

    I have to install lightroom on the former power to migrate my photos? I have my new computer and an old computer connected to migrate everything, but can not find a way to make the photos without having to install on the new opening? OR lightroom on the former. Thanks for the help.

    Each step is sufficiently important in its own right, so avoid trying too much in a go.

    My recommendation would be to get your environment of openness on the new machine and check that everything came out correctly. Essentially, this means that the Aperture itself library (file aplibrary) and your photos, and you do not say that they managed (IE inside the aplibrary) or referenced (IE in files). But I would say get opening installed and current running on the new computer - if you do not have the disc, the opening must be in your purchases in the app store. Take a break and be sure that you have left something. Then perform the migration of Lightroom on what is probably a more rapid/more great computer.

  • old version of lightroom on new computer

    I had an older version of Lightroom, I think it was 5 or 6, on a computer that died on me.  I bought a new computer and that you wanted to put lightroom on it without having to buy the latest version.  I tried to download the trial version and put my product key for the previous version, but it was not valid.  Is there a place I can get from older versions, so I can use the product key that I paid for?

    Thank you

    Can't reinstall Lightroom 6 on the new computer.

  • Cannot install lightroom on new computer

    I'm trying to install Lr 6 on my new laptop, but at the end of the installation, when I inform my Lr Adobe Id and my password I get the information 'license and password Don t match. I changed my password several times, and the problem persists.

    I contacted Adobe support by chat, they sent a link to download (again) Lr. I tried to install again, but the problem persists and I stiil waiting for a solution, but aparently Adobe ignores me. Is my case open with Adobe ID 0216958249

    Can someone help me? TIA

    Dear stephane,

    Thank you for your kind cooperation.

    As I kept trying to install Lr6 and found a way to do it:

    Remember, my problem was one had Lr6 installed on my old machine, but could not install it on the new.

    I noticed that my Lr 6 license was an upgrade of the Lr4, so I first installed Lr4 (using the old serial number) that I installed Lr 6 with serial number appropriate.

    That's all.

    Perhaps my solution can be useful to others.

    In any case, thanks

  • new computer, how do I restore data lightroom in lightroom 5 2015?

    I have a new iMac, you downloaded 2015 CC Photoshop and Lightroom 2015.

    I was running lightroom 5 on my old computer - I have moved these files (backup, catalog, presets, previews, etc.) on the new computer.

    Will be picking up Lightroom CC 2015 these files?  I have not tried yet, I was wondering what the best way is to move forward w / 2015 of Lightroom.

    After installation of Lighroom, essential to copy files are - The Catalog, Presets, AND YOUR IMAGES!

    Lightroom, a database program, must have the files in your catalog and 'new' image, preferably at the same place as they were in the "old" computer

    To facilitate the transfer Image files should be copied with the same exact file layout. If it is on an external hard drive, then all the simpler just plug it into the computer of 'News' and open the catalog (xxxx. LRCAT)

    Reissue of links to the catalog image files may be required and there is a lot of advice on this provision. (See link below)

    Best advice I've seen is here-
