Openness to the process of transition of Lightroom

I've migrated my Aperture to Lightroom library. The library is very large (200 + GB) and resides on an external hard drive.

When I plug the external hard drive in my desktop at home (a Mac) open Lightroom, I see that all my projects, the albums and the keywords correctly migrated to Lightroom. But when I plug the external hard drive to my laptop (MacBook Pro - newer than the desktop computer), none of these things is visible. In other words, I can click on 'import' at the bottom of the window, and all images appear in Lightroom, but only in chronological order. None of my organizational structure (projects, albums, keywords, etc.) appears. It is a profound mystery to me. Any thoughts?

I tried to contact customer support, but they were pretty useless so far. I must say I'm quite full of resentment that Adobe is asking its customers to commit by paying a monthly fee, but they seem to have pretty much washed their hands of their obligation to provide good customer service. It's not fair. All growing attempts of this complaint were given lip service with no real answer.

Looks like Lightroom (= 'library' in opening) catalog is on the hard drive of the desktop computer. When you are on your laptop, you look at a catalogue to its hard drive, so it contains all the stuff on the other catalog opening ex.

If you need constantly to open your catalog on different machines, on the desktop, you need to find the catalog in the Finder and move it to the external hard drive. Button to display the menu, settings of the catalog, Lightroom will help you. Close LR and move it.

Once it is proposed, and then double-click the catalog (lrcat file) on the external hard drive. Set preferences for LR (General provisions) to open most recent catalog. And then, on the laptop, double-click the catalog and set the preference in the same way. Now your LR catalog resides on the external hard drive and each computer knows where he is.

  • How to apply to market when the fact that the process?

    Yesterday my firefox worked fine, but now when I click on one of my shortcuts, nothing happens. When I opened my task manager, I see the firefox.exe process is turned on but not the actual application. I tried to make it work for two hours. I rebooted the computer 3 times but in vain. I also ran AVG PC Tune Up, which eliminated the recording errors, Defrag, junk files and broken shortcuts with no improvement. I also ran a cache and the cookie cleaner and still nothing.

    What happens when you click Ctrl + N, a new window opens when the process is running?

    If she runs, and it does not show a new window, kill the process in the taskbar and double click on the new icon to see if it opens. If this isn't the case, please try a clean reinstall.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

    Question
    I just upgraded to FF 3 FF9 and in the process lost my 'New tab' button, and there isn't one in the view > customization window. So, how manually open a new tab in FF9?

    To open the window to customize the toolbar, do one of the following:

    • Firefox button > Options > toolbars
    • Press ALT or F10 to temporarily show the Menu bar and choose from there (view > toolbars > customize)
    • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing the VTC keyboard letters

    See-> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36

    Regarding the new button tab, you see the end a '+' after the last tab or the right of the tab bar? This is the icon of the new tab.

    • CTRL + T will open a new tab

  • two sometimes three iexplorer.exe. Open the process in the Task Manager

    original title: iexplorer.exe.

    everytime I open a sometimes three iexplorer.exe two Web site. Open in the Task Manager process is this normal or is one of them not supposed to run?

    Hi danielgirard,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have a security software on the computer?

    3. it happens with any site that you open it?

    Method 1

    Every new Internet Explorer window that you open will create a new entry iexplorer.exe in the Task Manager.

    I suggest that you scan the computer for malware or virus infections and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.aspx

    Method 2

    If the above does not help, then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Hi Robrw,

    1. when exactly you receive this error?

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

    b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

    If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

    Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

    See the following article:

    How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

    Step 3:

    You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

    Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Lightroom can't use the catalog named 5 because lightroom catalog that it is not writable and cannot be opened

    Help, please!

    I've been struggling for hours to open lightroom. My computer turns off without reason, and then I went back into the light room and had the following startup message:

    Lightroom can't use the lightroom catalog 5 catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

    I tried everything I can. I searched online and you have deleted the files of 'locking' of the catalogue record. I did what is obvious and just rebooted. I checked the 'permissions' and nothing has worked. Help, please. I JUST finished images edited in 1000 and I need to export. I won't cry if I need to change their brand new

    In your OS, the folder that contains your catalog must have read & write permission.

    If you think that you already have, we show a screenshot so that we can see in the Explorer Windows/Mac Finder folder that contains the catalog file; and show us an another screen shot of the permissions on this folder.

    Also, please check the catalog file in your operating system to ensure that it is not set read-only.

  • I just bought a version of lightroom upgrade 6 (mac, upgrade from lightroom 4) and began the process of installation, but when I entered the serial number of the previous version, I got the message "the serial number you entered is not valid. Please try

    I just bought a version of lightroom upgrade 6 (mac, upgrade from lightroom 4) and began the process of installation, but when I entered the serial number of the previous version, I got the message "the serial number you entered is not valid. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact customer service. The number I entered is correct - I checked against the original package and on the products of my adobe account page, and I get the error message even if I try to enter the serial number of the version of lightroom 3 I had before. I am at a loss to understand what I can do: I paid for this product, but I can't install it. The only thing I can think is that the lightroom 4A was purchased from an old computer, but it has migrated successfully to my current imac, as surely, it should work.

    Problem is resolved now - it's due to my misunderstanding of what was required, and enter the serial number of the previous version (as an upgrade) instead of the serial number of the version I had to buy). My apologies for my mistake and thank you for your time.

    Now open Lightroom

    Go to Lightroom preferences in the Edit menu

    Click the performance tab

    Deselect the graphics processor

  • Adjust overall color of the process used in multiple files open at the same time?

    I often draw series of illustrations (maps) using the same overall color of the process and later to adjust the value of the color in all the files.

    In previous versions of Illustrator I just all the open files and adjust the color values in a single file and all other files automatically got the same values and could still be saved.

    This does not work in Illustrator CC 19.1.

    How to do this in a way effort now?

    Please tell the history of the ease of sharing 'lost in versions '.

    I asked at the start of the best technical sharing and setting/editing of uniform colors between multiple documents.

    We cannot link to a shared color palette and just edit this palette because the colour palettes apply only to the actual document when used.

    I tried a work-around, which probably works for my needs, is the attached illustration.

    I work with a set of four-color CMYK defined as Global colors, so I only need to adjust the CMYK values in the color chart to affect all the colors used in the document.

    But this only applies to the actual document and does not, when objects are copied/pasted between similar files.

    Instead, if I name the Global CMYK color chart (e.g.Pink) definition instead of simply use process values (0-70-20-0), give me a change to update a definition when copying objects between similar documents. If I choose "Merge swatches" in the dialog box "Swatch Conflict", the old 'Rose' (original) color will be updated to the new definition of the "Rose".

    This could be useful for others?
