My Photos the passage to a new NAS from an old NAS?  Maintenance of LR catalog on my iMac.

I have a new larger capacity NAS I want to migrate my entire folder of photos to and I'm confused as to how to do it properly.


My current setup:

Software - LR, catalogues, backups, etc. on my iMac

-Photos (3 TB worth) on my QNAP NAS

I want to keep catalogues, backups etc. on the iMac and just change the location of my pictures to a new Synology NAS expansion.

How to make sure that that my LR catalog refers correctly to the new location of the photograph?  Just copy my photos on and then reconnect using my catalog?

Or should I do an export in the catalogue operation, exporting all my photos to the new NAS and then re-import to Lightroom as a new catalogue and then disconnect the old SIN?

Move photos using your operating system, then reconnect in Lightroom via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

Your catalog backups must not be on the same hard drive as the working version of your catalog.

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

    Hello

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.

    Read this information:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    I used this code

  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Tips for improving of LR2 to 3 during the passage to a new computer?

    My old mac was a G5 so I finally joined the modern world with a new iMac. On the new machine, I installed LR3, but I'm still running LR2 on the old machine. I want to come all my photos/catalogs/dbs (probably by getting an external HD enclosure to the current unit of the old machine) to the new machine and LR2. A few tips on how to import everything? Nothing to watch? I have thousands of images, some of them paid employment, and I don't want to lose anything. Thank you.

    Rule # 1: IMPORTEZ not!

    That's what I'd do:

    • On the old machine and LR2, make sure that you have one (or a few) top level for all your images folders, and that they show in a hierarchical way in your folder Panel. You may need to use "Add a folder" several times to achieve.
    • With the old disk mounted on the new machine, double-click the LR2 catalog to start LR3
    • You will be asked if you want to convert your LR2 catalog in a catalog in LR3
    • Confirm this action, which will build a new catalog of your catalog of LR2 LR3, leaving the LR2 catalog because it is
    • If your missing files/images (that I'm not sure on a Mac when the same volume is mounted as an external drive), perform a 'find the missing folder' on all the top-level folders in your catalog, pointing to the files on the mounted volume
    • If needed/wanted, you can then move the folders from top level of image of in LR to another volume
    • If you need/want to move the catalog as well, copy the file ".lrcat [nomcatalogue]" and "[nomcatalogue] Previews.lrdata" folder to another drive when LR is closed and restart LR by double-clicking the copied .lrcat file
    • Delete the old catalog, once that you do not know the new works to your satisfaction

    You can also consider to copy your presets, plugins and the failings of the cab from the old machine to the new one.

  • The passage cs6 to new computer, how?

    Moving old iMac to MacBook new cs6, how should I prepare to do this? Right now my MacBook Pro is always made to order so just trying to know what info I need, what steps I take or who do I inform at Adobe.

    1. On the old computer, open any application CS6 (. e.g. Photoshop CS6) and click Help > deactivate. That will disable the entire suite on this computer. Freeing an activation that you can use on another computer.
    2. On the new computer, install the CS6 software and it will automatically activate during installation.

    Note: your license allows you to activate the software to be used on up to two computers at the same time (this should be two Macs, or two PCs). So, you do not disable CS6 on the old computer, if you do not want.

  • Re-installing Lightroom 5 after the passage of a new iMac

    I bought Lightroom 3 for PC; I have updated to Lightroom 5 PC online.  Now, I have an iMac and want to download it here.  How can I do?  I have the serial number of the two. I hope I don't have to buy the upgrade again.

    I believe that a purchase of Lightroom applies to both PC and Mac.  Have you tried to install on Mac?  The Mac version can be found via the following link:
