Lost and confused... .cannot get LR to find the catalog.

I recently managed to corral all of my photos one a LaCie Rugged hard drive. It is the reader where I intend to keep my LR photos to have portability. As I have all my pictures on HD, as I did on the iMac running the latest available software, I changed the name of the catalog to "My Photos Lightroom"

that are stored on the drive that is labeled "LaCie Photos".  After you get them on the LaCie during the same session, I was able to view them without problem.  Okay, I take the drive and connect it to my MacBook Pro, running the same operating system.  LR could not find the catalog.  I tried several 'remedies', which none worked.  I went back to look at the catalogue on the iMac to see how it has been configured so that I could do the same thing on the MacBook and iMac could not find the catalog.  Until I really mess up things I'd rather have someone more competent as me give me some simple advice.  Summary: How do running on an iMac and a MacBook Pro to locate and use the catalogue of pictures of LR

Located on a portable LaCie Rugged hard drive?  I don't know that I placed the catalog where it should not be lost on the path to the catalog. I need to give specific instructions to the computer and I don't seem to be able to do.  Thanks for any help you can give.

GCR49... I think you are making things very difficult for yourself.

Why don't you start by putting your photos on the EHD, creating the catalog on the pictures on the EHD? In this way, you don't have to transfer the pictures later to SMT. In addition, file-> new catalogue allows you to create a catalog on the EHD.

Do not... Are NOT... do multiple catalogs. "Subsequently, with much more practical, experience and focus I can decide to multiple catalogs if necessary" is a very bad idea, except in a very limited situations. Do not forget this.

    You have installed the drivers and software for your printer?  Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers?  If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

    Hi TommieZook, I see that this is your first post here.  Welcome to our community!

    As for your question, there are few parameters that you might need to check.  #1 is the most likely:

    1. Power settings for your screen
      Press + W to find settings, and then type power to find and open Power Options.  On the left, click "choose when turn off the display" and set the timer accordingly.
    2. Sleep for your PC settings
      On the same page of the Power Options, click 'choose when the computer sleeps' to set the timer as well.
    3. Screen saver
      Windows 8 is not the screensaver on initially, but you can see these settings too.  For easy access, go to the desktop and right click, then choose Customize.  Choose screensaver downstairs and make sure that the setting of the timer is to your liking.

  • Set up Firefox sync, reinstalled windows and now cannot get my synchronized data

    I bought an SSD and a new HARD drive and I wanted to get a clean install of windows on the SSD. Before that, I synced Firefox, but now I can't get back my info. I was under the impression that Firefox sync could be used for this, but now it looks like I'm pretty damn good insofar as find all my favorites and passwords and things. I tried to go in Firefox sync and selecting that I lost my camera. It gives me a very long string of letters and of things and when I get to the area of the recovery key, he told me that every time, even when he puts stuff in there himself, it is wrong.

    Firefox Sync is not a backup tool, it is only intended to synchronize the various facilities in Firefox with the same data.

    ===============================
    If a music file Movie Maker crashes
    in a format that is not compatible. If you convert
    the file to the format of .wma before importing, you
    can have a better result.

    The converter below might be helpful to try:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

    Drag and drop your audio clips on the main screen...

    Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

    That should do it...

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I cannot get rid of the error message

    I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from the site Web of Blackberry. When I run the Desktop Manager I get this message: "Before you start, check that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." Troubleshooting functions I've seen on this forum: many tips (ones I've tried is below). One in particular, that I can't do is "Office Manager shows"off". ".
    -Make sure that the user has entered in the Desktop Manager and select options > connection settings > detect. »

    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the menu options in the BB Desktop Manager.

    I tried the following:

    • uninstalled and reinstalled twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    • installs the cable to the USB port at the back (after having tried both ports at the front) of the computer
    • rebooted the computer several times
    • hard starts the phone by removing the battery
    • plugged in, removed and replugged in the phone.

    Also:

    • The phone is properly install when I plug it in, but the software still does not seem to see it.
    • In Device Manager, the BlackBerry appears under portable devices. Double clicking on it gives me the message "this device is working properly." of reassurring.
    • The Com1 port is working properly, according to Device Manager.
    • A double-click on the icon of the Device Manager to get the properties indicates that the Com1 port is "disconnected" - when I try to set it up, it appears just back to the disconnected state.

    If someone has an idea or something that I have not tried, I'd be happy of course!

    Thank you!

    Good, people, after a phone call from 3 1/2 hour with a (very patient) phone support person to Blackberry, here's what I learned.

    You can check your drivers USB in this way:

    1. Plug your phone into your USB key. Assuming that your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    2. Go into the Device Manager on your computer (Panel)
    3. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers at the bottom of the list item
    4. Right-click on the BlackBerry smartphone, and then select Properties
    5. Click on the driver tab
    6. Click the driver Details button
    7. You should see a driver. I saw two. The one like the BlackBerry is the RimUsb one.

    So here's what NOT to do: we threw any driver who has been the "extra". This actually made using my mouse and keyboard cannot, because they are USB and my poor husband has sent in the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and mouse) with the old fashioned type of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't, don't.

    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you - it changes the registry to a backup system with this backup and restore if you are nervous about this kind of thing):

    1. On the start menu, choose run and type regedit into the registry editor.
    2. Follow this path to the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, computer, class
    3. Click: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    4. If there is an article called law "UpperFilters", delete it. (See photos)

    Hope this helps someone.

  • anonymox took my firefox browser and I cannot get rid of it!

    I installed anonymox to see what he did. It slowed my system down incredibly and so after half an hour to try yo download AMD drivers for my graphics card, I decided that anonymox should go. It was when I discovered that he had taken over my browser firefox completely and does NOT ALLOW me to enter the Addons folder at all, nor it will allow me to reset firefox to its default settings.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox half a dozen times and nothing works. Please help me get rid of this intrusive piece of Adware.

    Hey Sniperbait66,

    Thank you for coming to this issue, the support forums. Could you do me a huge favor and try to start firefox in Mode safe? In your post, I noticed that he was not part of the options that you have tried.

    Try to activate Safe Mode, see if it is still on your browser and try refreshing FireFox mode without failure. Once you do this answer please back here so that we can fix the issue if it doesn't fix it.
