Lightroom and photos stored on the NAS

I would like to save my photos on my NAS, any problems with this way of working with Lightroom?

RAID1 mirror: you need high availability?

But you know, that there is no backup security?

You need someone else on top of that.

I learned that the hard way, when not only one of the raid drives crashed, but the raid as controller.

If the remaining good drive could not read, as he said he would be part of a raid1 system and any available raid controller.

He had a good week, a lot of nerves to get it restored with the help other software...

Since then, we have re-analysis that we really need: a good reliable backup, which is almost always updated.

Leaving so the two terabyte nas-drives separated, but quite often backed up, was the chosen solution.

If the primary drive fails now, I just have to recreate a link to the top-level folder of image on its separate backup drive and continue the work of LR. Sufficiently high availability for our needs.

    Why I have Photo and Photos open at the same time?

    When what's going on?  When you connect a camera or a card reader?

    Or after the Mac is restarted?

    If this occurs after startup, check system preferences > users and groups.

    Select your account and open the connection. Deselect the applications you want to open at startup.

    If this happens when you connect a camera, open the iPhoto preferences > general.

    Chances are th eemail link is a download option once.  After that, you probably need to go to your Adobe account online and look for an option to download it.

    Depending on the version it is, you might be able to find a download link through one of the following links...

  • How to retrieve virtual copies + information meta for photos which were in lightroom and climbed settles in the finder

    Hey there,

    Since I bought my new camera, I was extremely organized in my new photo folders. (organized by date, name of the event. ex: "YYYY-MM-DD - golf tournament").

    It's all about my 'external hard drive', in a folder called "photography hdd."

    tonight, I decided to go in a different folder on the same external hard drive (external hard drive > media > photos) that was never held. I used the same organization method mentioned above and created folders organized by date to reorganize these photos.

    then, when I was organizing the 'pictures' folder, I dragged all these organized by date records "photography-hdd", then deleted this folder "photos". in other words, I have added to my Lightroom main library folder where all the other those published were always.

    then I got the idea great to change the name 'photography hdd' to 'pictures', simply because it was more clean...

    Once in Lightroom, I did not know what to click to Update my file "photography hdd", now called "photos" in the Finder. so I think that I clicked and selected "update folder location" and selected the new 'pictures' folder (which was essentially the same folder as 'photography hdd' but with a new name - I guess it's this that mixed up Lightroom).

    Then, all the pictures are gone. None appeared.

    I decided to rename 'Photo' of 'photography hdd', hoping that Lightroom would recognize the name and then understand where the files are located. but it changed nothing.

    I saw that I had not a lot of options, I tried to synchronize the folder "photography hdd." It appeared as if I was importing 12000 new photos - I understood so that the pictures I had initially in it would be not be recognized even if I put the folder parent its original name "photography hdd."

    is it possible to recover the changes that I made to the files that were there at the beginning, until I screwed? all I care is to obtain changes that same back (called virtual copies I think).

    Please note: I haven't changed the names of file and their respective names organized by date file. all, I changed, it was the name of the parent folder, but I put it its original name. the BIG problem and the cause of all this, is that I did all my changes to folder in the Finder, and not in Lightroom.

    It may be better to use your last backup. Unzip the file and double-click the .lrcat file to launch your named catalog.

    Then try to update the files individually link to the new location.

  • How can I use two different PC with Lr5.5 to manage and process my photos stored on the external drive and swap the analysis between these two computers?

    I ran two computers and would like to be able to download Lr jobs made on my laptop, my PC fixed, also used to treat other images, all stored on the same disk.

    In other words, I want to deal with may photos on both PC and have access to all analyses of one or even two computers better regardless.

  • 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).

  • If I no longer use iCloud I lose all my photos stored in the Cloud?

    I am undecided if I want to upload all of my pictures on iCloud photo library. I learned by others than if I always chose to no longer use iCloud for storing my photos I'll lose these pictures. Another thing, what I was told is that iCloud store pictures for awhile and then I won't lose them. I'm confused about all this, but I like to use my Apple devices!

    I know that many of you, Apple lovers know how to use this program better than most, please offer advice that you may have!

    Thank you!!

    I learned by others than if I always chose to no longer use iCloud for storing my photos I'll lose these pictures.

    If you use iCloud photo library, you have two options:

    1. You can download your photo library in iCloud, but keep all original photos on your Mac as well.
    2. You can transfer your photo library on iCloud and enable optimization of storage.  Then you can save storage on your Mac, but you will need to download the originals from iCloud, when you want to edit or export your photos. You can change, if you have an Internet connection.

    Without optimization of storage you can disable iCloud library anytime, because all the pictures are on your Mac. If you "Optimize storage", you will have to disable this option and wait for your photos to download it again, before disabling iCloud photo library.  See this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c (last paragraph).

    Another thing, what I was told is that iCloud store pictures for awhile and then I won't lose them.

    This applies to 'My Photo Stream', not iCloud Photo library.  iCloud provides many services to be used with photos.  My photo stream is a way to transfer photos between devices.  It broadcasts photos between devices and implements buffer your most recent photos for a limited time, so that all devices can download new photos.  But this isn't a photo library in iCloud, see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

    If you have a large library of Photos, you need a subscription paid iCloud to transfer the full library.

    iCloud library is useful if you have multiple Macs or mobile devices and want to keep the libraries updated on all your devices.  Or if you want to be able to access your photo library in iCloud from mobile devices, because you don't have enough storage on the device.

    But it is not intended as a backup of your photos with a cloud.  You will need to keep a backup of your library of Photos as well.

  • All the pictures and videos stored on the previous deskmanager Blackberry phones smart blackBerry disappeared after I have accept updates

    Appreciate any help thanks

    Anything sync'd through your BDS is stored in a folder somewhere... usually My Documents > my pictures > BlackBerry (or my videos > BlackBerry). It depends on the path specified for the folder when you set up the synchronization of the image.

    Hello!! This is my first post. Just bought my blackberry curve 8900 from t-mobile and I can't understand how to store my blackberry apps that are downloaded on my card instead of the phone's memory. I need help please

    Cannot do. The applications are stored ON the memory of the device.

    Now, if you want to disable and a backup application, you can do in AppWorld (for applications downloaded on the AppWorld) and re-install later.

    You can also use the software Aerize which stores the apps on the map in support, but install them when you are ready to use them.

    But you can not install and run an application from the media card.

    Loaded and organized more than 1,000 photos in the Photos of Apple news. He has virtually no editing capabilities and will not directly export to Photoshop. Lightroom can import files directly, or I have to start over again? Help! I have an another 3000 to add and do not want to use the new Apple "fix." Help?

    Awesome!

    Pulling the captain first of the library of Photos Apple was a brilliant idea. It actually helped me to understand what was not imported in my Lightroom library by control the "do not import suspected duplicates."
