Retrieve the catalog LR and photos

My Macbook Pro should be reformatted. I have Lr and photos stored on an external hard drive. What is the best way to retrieve the catalog and photos from the external hard drive? I am one of those who need step by step instructions. My OS is 10.10.5.

Thank you very much.

    • Quit LR
    • Back up your current catalog (*.lrcat)
    • Open the last zip of the backup folder and replace the current catalog.
    • Start LR

    Hi sylviac

    A catalog is a database of the location of your photos and the information about them. When you change the pictures, rates, add keywords or other things to photos in Lightroom, all these changes are stored in the catalog. The photo files themselves are not affected. To create a new catalog: -.

    • Open Lightroom
    • New catalog, select file (Menu bar)

  • Missing previews at the catalog level and by car.  Cannot use filters at this level.  Missing files.

    With the help of LR4 (not 4.1) and Win7 Home Premium.

    Catalog has been updated to LR3 and LR4 catalog worked very well so far. I use LR since the beginning.

    Two problems, probably.  106K photos on two discs, almost 3 TB.

    He has not realized at the level of the catalog.  Normally the previews of pictures of 106K would appear. Message is "Click on the"Import"button to begin."  Filter function does not work the Message: "no photo matching the filter.

    He has not seen at the level of the road.  Message is 'No photos in the selected folder' filter does not work Message: 'no picture matching the filter.

    At the folder level, all right, but two records give the same message "No pictures in the folder selected" filter does not work in these two folders: Message: 'no photos matching the filter' 14K photos between two bad records

    Dozens, hundreds of other files and subfolders are fine. Filter function works fine at the level of folder and subfolder.

    The collections are very good, including photos in both files, which gives the message "no pictures in the folder selected.

    What I did:

    The LR4 is uninstalled and reinstalled twice.

    Download and install own LR4.

    Same problems

    Tried to import the missing files.  Don't import because they are already in the catalog.  Don't import even if I uncheck "do not import suspected duplicates."

    Exported in the form of a catalog, one of the folders 'no pictures in the folder selected.  It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc..  I edited some photos with no problems.  Although it gives a message saying that extracted hundreds were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway.

    Delete the folder catalog and imported catalog catalog of working folder that I just created.

    Same problems.

    Exported as a catalogue of the different folder of "no pictures in the folder selected.  Same result as the first record of bad.  For example, it appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc..  Although it gives a message saying that extracted hundreds were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway.

    Does not do anything with this second folder catalog.  Intriguing, the same message on missing previews.

    Real and *.xmp files are in bad records.

    Now what?

    Discovery of a thread in this forum.  Known issues fixed in 4.1 beta.  Upgrade to LR4.1 and the problem is solved.

  • The catalog import and copy

    I replaced my computer and now reinstall lightroom and created a new catalog and wanted to import photos and the backup, however, lightroom does not offer me the copy function, why?  How to operate?

    This is not the right approach. You should not import your photos.

    You must move the photos to the new computer, preferably in the same place, as they were on the old computer. You have to find your old computer catalog file and move it to the new computer, and double-click it.

  • The Catalog backup and no files PSE8

    Following a blackout and the corruption of my catalog, I really want to save the catalog but as I already hold at least 2 copies of each of the 17 000 photos I really don't want another copy, just a way to protect and allow me to easily restore the catalog.

    Can someone help me understand how do (where the catalogue is actually stored)?

    Note Im not happy, I never had problems with PSE4 but 8 makes me mad its so slooooow

    You can find a copy of the catalog folder via help > system information.   Make sure that you back up the entire folder.

    but 8 makes me crazy its slooooow so

  • LR has been impossible to export the catalog previews and negative

    My first post in this forum.  I want to delete all of my iMac to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and then charge back.  First job is to "Export as catalog" all my photos (about 6000) since the Mac to an external hard drive (Maxtor OneTouch 4Plus, 450 GB of available).  I tried 6 or 7 times and each time getting a similar message - see line object.  I deleted unnecessary files, managed to get rid of unused keywords and exported 2000 odd of my previous pictures in JPEG format to archive in order to reduce the volume.  I reloaded LR and updated to 2.6.  In the export dialog box, I ticked 'Export negative files' and 'include available Previews.  Export gets to about three-quarters of the way through each time until I get the error message and I have to give up.

    Appreciate any assistance.

    All THE PHOTOS is included in your LR folder hierarchy?  If this isn't the case, then you must click the right button (or whatever the equivalent of Mac) on one of the folders in your hierarchy of LR and choose to include the Parent folder.  Once you have done this and everything copied, you can file missing just locate on a high back and you will find everything under it.  If you have not the parent folder in LR before copying, you will need to locate the missing files on each of the top-level folders.

    Once you have copied your pictures, you can rename your local copy of all THE PHOTOS to make sure that you do not accidentally, and then locate the missing folder to make sure it works on the remote location.

    Once you are satisfied with your catalog is to see all distance and when you're ready, copy your catalog and your previews and backup folders above and rename the local copy of the Lightroom to open accidentally this copy of the catalog, even once.  I copy things, instead of moving them, in case something happens, you can start over.

    If you immediately update your mac, then copy all three documents, other than iChat ones, pictures on your remote disc and open the remote catalog and find files while missing only one.  I suggest take only pictures, first of all, in case you want to continue to work on the pictures, the local copy of the catalogue will be faster, but if you're ready to upgrade, then simply make all copies at the same time.  All THE PHOTOS and excerpts will be time-consuming copies, catalog, itself, will not take very long.

  • Backup of 2 aircraft on the airport with the same files and photos

    I just bought an airport and an iMac. I already have a Mac Book Pro. The Mac Book has 250 GB of photos on it and some other stuff that I will put on my iMac and I will use my iMac as my place to edit (on Lightroom) if I save both devices after that will there be a double of everything on the airport?  Think about keeping life simple, I want to delete all of my Mac Book, after that he was transferred to the iMac, especially when I start editing, then my 2 sets will begin to differ and life will get complicated? Any thoughts? Thank you

    If I save both devices after that will there be a double of everything on the most convenient airport?

    Yes, default Time Machine backs up everything on a Mac on the first copy and save any changes took place after the first full back upward.

    However, you do not have the opportunity to have the time Machine to exclude applications or files that you choose to save. Open Time Machine preferences, click Options, click the button at the bottom of the list of exclusions to navigate and choose the applications or files that you want to exclude backups +.

  • Hardware configuration for the catalog, previews and the RAWs?

    Hi all.

    For the past 2 years I've been running a retina 27 "iMac with 512 GB SSD, because it is the essential motivation.

    My catalog, previews and RAWs have all been on a connected USB3 SSD 1 TB and backed up with time machine to 2 TB drive HARD USB3.

    Now all 3 of my discs are at capacity.

    Historically I've shot with a D800 the D810 so the raws were huge. Now, I'm moving to an X - T2.

    The easy answer is to move the SSD to 2 TB SSD and the TM drive to a 4 GB ext USB disk, which should buy me a few years.

    Maybe another option is to invest in a 4-Bay NAS, stick 4x4gb operates to and use the batch for the backup storage and image TM.

    What do you think guys? even if I'm running a processor i7 and 32 GB of RAM, sake still images second or 2 to appear in my current setup, I really don't want them to appear all slower. It was suggested that I could move all the images more than a year on the NAS and keep the catalog, the previews and the latest images on the 1 TB SSD.

    Curious to hear other ideas and configurations that work well.

    Thanks in adv.

    Craig

    Since you are using a fairly recent Mac she must have a thunderbolt port, otherwise 2 of them and you can also add a USB 3 hub to connect multiple disks to your current configuration. I don't see in adding disks more large and small age of retirement. Just add another 2 disks of the same capacity. You can also get rid of some of the old Time Machine backups to free up space on the drive that you configured for Time Machine.

    As far as I KNOW 99% of multiple NAS boxes drive (Bay) are thus set up a RAID array. Which would limit the overall storage capacity of this box.

    The LR catalog file must also be on a drive connected directly to the computer and not on a network drive.

  • How can I retrieve the Beats Audio and remove * IDS_SYSTRAY_TOOLTIP?

    My new laptop of Beats Audio HP Pavilion m7 is not a manager of Beats Audio, but it doesn't have a weird white icon with a V on the side black that says "* IDS_SYSTRAY_TOOLTIP". When I click on, I get nothing useful, and giant text appears on my screen, that I can't remove, unless I restart ("Please click on a site to start or enter the first letters to search.")

    This woman has a similar problem (found in a forum announcement):

    Well, I did the manual update that was sent via the HP Support and when he finished, and I went to change my Settinga Audio Beats, it was not a toggle (for her) where I had placed it (near the wifi status indicator). There is now an icon that looks a little like Greek sigma and said a letter (when I scroll on it) ' * IDS_SYSTRAY_TOOLTIP '. Help?

    Hello

    It seems that the sound driver is not correctly configured, then try the following.  (Note: even if the message refers to the ID, the offending Installer is the codec IDT audio just be confusing )

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp57501-58000/sp57966.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When finished, restart the computer and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once done, restart the laptop.

    Kind regards

  • RMAN - RETRIEVE the backup complete and necessary archives Logs of SBT_TAPE to disk

    Hello

    I've never done this before and no one on my team seems to have idea if possible. In our environment, backups are performed using netbackup to bands using RMAN. I have a request to recover a good full backup of an oracle database (where we can restore the database, if required in the future) of January 13 and place in a way they provided for example: / dbbkup/dbName/files.

    The backup team tied the tapes required for this backup, which in this case is January 13, 2016, see below. We can only use RMAN to restore this backup, but I don't want to restore this backup on a database, instead would like to capture the full backup and zip and place it in the provided path. Is there is a possibility with RMAN?

    If yes I would appreciate the full commands necessary to capture all of the basic + archivelogs (how can I determine what archivelogs are needed?)

    I came with thisbut do not know if this will do.

    Run {}

    until ' to_date (' 01 2016 13 11:00 ', 'YYYY MM DD HH24') ";

    allocate auxiliary channels ch1 type 'sbt_tape '.

    Yes, we cannot copy the backupsets of a band on the disc with RMAN.

    The only option is to restore the database to a separate host computer (or we can restore the database to a filesystem separte or diskgroup within the same host of source database), and backup the database on a disk in compressed format.

    -Thank you

  • How to retrieve the user name and password?

    Original title: password

    Somehow, I forgot my Microsoft account name and the password, how do I get it back

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you. The only advice I can offer you is either begin to guess what the password could possibly be or re - install Windows by default.
