• Why don't cc Lightroom let me create or move folders in Lightroom?

  I'm very frustrated with Lightroom CC.  I got hurt for a while get Lightroom to create or move folders even before moving to CC.  I hoped CC would solve the problem, but it didn't.  I get an error message whenever I try to do a folder or a subfolder.  It is said: "record Volumes primary Pictures / Photos go here/2016/01_Jan2016/sample folder name could not be created on disk."  I have recently moved to Lightroom to a new iMac to my PC, but had the same problem on the PC.  And I've updated to the latest version of Lightroom CC.

  It sounds like you are not allowed to create a new folder to the desired location. Please make sure that you have WRITE permission in the folder 01_JAN2016.

• How to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

  I would like to move a file from one folder to another one of Lightroom 3 (do not discuss why). I searched the net but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo in the grid view and then drag and drop this file into another folder in the folder Panel (for the move), a small sign more (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo in the original folder (for the move), two copies of the file are removed. I tried pressing all kinds of keys on the imac but unable to get the move to work. Ideally, I would like to move a group of pictures but can not move even one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

  Try to select the pictures, right click on the folder target and choosing "move selected Photos to this folder.

• How can I move folders of your email ACCT. within Mozilla?

  Change my e-mail provider and would like to move my existing folders and their content to the new account.
  Thank you

  Care to share with us? I would have advised allows you to copy messages, no records.

  You can drag and drop messages, but it's a little unpredictable. There is also a right-click then option move or copy which is more reliable.

  So because there is no method of right click to move folders, I avoid trying to do this by drag-and - drop. Yesterday, I was working with a post where the user has multiple or duplicate may, records and I think somewhere along the line, to move a folder or copy had been attempted.

  If you slipped and dropped files and it worked in your case, then I'm happy for you. But I wouldn't take the risk myself.

• Cannot delete/rename/move a file of Windows with a special character

  Not so long ago, I used a portable hard drive to pass data between my PC and my MacBook (Running OS X 10.11.1).)

  Unfortunately, I was stupid to create an alias of my portable hard drive on the desktop of my Mac by chance, just after my hard drive mounting.

  The issue is that I can't even delete/rename/move it. Restart the system does not work, and commands (sudo rm/mv...) since the Terminal does not work either.

  When I tried to delete/move the alias file, I got what is like that, "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."

  And when you try to rename it with the name of the file 'a', I got what is, "try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation.". "

  I think that this probably has to do with the name of the hard disk, which has a weird character "NULL", a character. This character is possibly legal in Windows, but illegal in OS X? Or maybe there are some differences between Windows and Mac, interpreting a file name?

  Any help, thanks!

  I would like to try the list to see what is happening one:

  # display the characters hidden in the form of numbers

  LS - lb

  # If you have a lot of files in the directory

  LS - lb | more

  LS - lB

  I assumed that you released the flash player.

  usually, you can type a few characters and then press tap to get the rest of the printed characters.

• Move folders used by Photoshop Elements 8

  I use Photoshop Elements 8 with Windows Vista.

  Last year, I installed PS8 on my new computer and restored a backup of my old computer. Everything worked fine but I noticed that my photos of root folder (named Jpegs) is now 9 levels down in the file structure with multiple levels of folders under the Jpeg file (see the path below).

  JPEG folder is located at:

  C:\Users\New_computer_account_name\Pictures\Adobe\Documents and Settings\Old_computer_account_name\My Documents\Old_computer_account_name\Pictures\Jpegs

  It seems to me that the last years my backup installation used the path of the complete folder from the old computer and added at the end of the path on the new computer.

  What should I do to up the files in the path of the folder so that they are easier to get to other than by using a shortcut?

  I'm assuming that photos appear as missing if I just move files using windows and have to go through a long and tedious process of reconnecting them (have more than 10,000 pictures catalogued).

  It would be easier to do a full backup, delete any folder below may be the "Adobe" folder then try a restore to get just a few levels down?

  What is the easiest way and most course of my photo files go up a few levels and at what level in the folder structure should be?

  I'm searching your forum and the Adobe help fields but cannot find an answer to my question.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Farmer

  You move folders in PSE8.

  Open the organizer and click the Display button (near the top right) and the location of the folder.

  Expand the tree in the left panel to view the structure of the complete file.

  Select a folder and drag it to photos (normally the spyware case) or a folder of your choice.

  The destination folder will value you pass on it and you can then release the mouse.

  When complete click on the Display button and return to the thumbnail view if this is your default favorite.

• How can I combine duplicate folders in Lightroom

  In some ways, I have TWO folders in Lightroom.

  1st is: C > my pictures > Lightroom

  2nd is: C > my pictures > Lightroom > my library of Photo Lightroom > Lightroom

  This folder (my Lightroom library) is all my photo on the disk folders

  Can I drag from the 2nd to the 1st and delete the files 'empty '.

  Thank you for your consideration.

  Right mouse click the folder that you want to merge and choose the location of the update folder. A style OS dialog box opens. It allows you to navigate your way to the folder that you want to merge the first with. Press the button choose.

• Rename and move folders (photo)

  Even though I am the 'administrator', in fact the only user of my computer, I am unable to rename or move the folders that I have pictures in like, apparently, I need "permission". How can I change this? Thank you.

  Go to the main folder (not the shell of the images folder but all folders with images under that - or to a different folder also) and right-click on the folder and click Properties, click the Security tab.  Add you as of right and do not forget to check the box to include all the files and subdirectories.  Click Advanced, and then do the same in the special permissions section in the bottom half.  Then everything in advance, go to the property tab and take ownership of the folder (and new check box to include all the files and subdirectories).  This should give you permission to rename and move the folders as you wish.  The question is why this happened.  I think it has something to do with Windows Media Player or photo gallery and any changes you make here affect things those and perhaps other such programs - but it's your decision to make.  I could start small with just a few pictures and see how it affects everything else before making the biggest changes as the records themselves.

  Just in case, here is some information on the property and an existing one if you are having problems here.

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  I hope this helps.

• Need to move folders and files and rename in LR?

  I need to make new folders with my raw images of an event that I've already started editing in LR, some under a different folder name and even some different file names... If I bring you new files in LR under another name is it possible to synchronize the changes that I've done on the images? (Sorry if this makes no sense at all, I even confuse myself!)

  Looks like you have solved your problem [otherwise, I would be happy to continue working with you on it!].  The upgrade was a good idea, as was to keep the files in question in a separate folder.  Finally, you may be able to get rid of all or part of them, but I'd rather have the dupes that delete files [something which I did and was just lucky I could dig up on a temporary file folders].  To this day, sometimes I find complete records of the cr2 to dng files duplicate files, most of which I never needed but did not include that as a renowned dng files import is a little waste of space [I see that we both need.]  I'm fast on my way to fill a terrabyte drive myself].

  Just make sure you have backups of everything.  I used to only have a game on an external drive, but a friend convinced me that if anything happened to my apartment all my copies would be lost.  So I use a cloud service based, Crashplan, as well, which is $ 60 and unlimited space.  I have no financial interest in that system, I just like it because it is highly encrypted and the service cannot see the content of my additions.

• Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

  I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

  I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

  Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

  1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

  2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

  3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

  And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.

• How can I move images from Lightroom 5 to Lightroom CC 2015?

  I have pictures on lightroom 5 I can ' t in lightroom cc2015 access.  Why not all the images moved with the version update?

  I tried selecting them and then manually moving them, also exporting them but was not successful.  How can I move these images to new version?

  Thank you

  My suggestions-

  1. Uninstall LR5. It out of your system, you use it again.

  2. find your catalog file (a file of type. LRCAT) using the operating system (Windows Explorer / Mac Finder)

  3. open the xxx. LRCAT file (double click or Right click/open)

  As ManiacJoe says above-

  LR6/CC will transfer your data LR5 in a new catalog of LR6 format with a "-2" added at the end of the name; your catalog LR5 remains unchanged.

  4. When you then open Lightroom, the default catalog will be the converted catalog.

  Consider the catalog 'old' LR5 as a backup only. (If you try to open a second time, you will have an another LR6/cc catalog called xxx-2 - 2.lrcat)

  AND-you, the pictures are NOT IN LIGHTROOM! They exist in the folders on your computer. The Lightroom Catalog is a database that displays thumbnails that have a 'link' to your photos.

  AND you don't have to "Move" anything! Everything remains exactly where it was, (Images, catalog)

• bad move files in lightroom 2.5

  I can't solve a problem with moving the files in Lightroom 2.5. While in the program, can not drag and drop images from one folder to another. If drag and drop IE (Windows Vista) and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog do not update or acknowledge the move was done. I resynchronize the files each time.

  From the video tutorials I've seen, it should be capable of these very simple things. I'm still new to LR and learning but can't seem to go beyond that. Is this a bug or installation problem? Don't know what Miss me, but he's driving me crazy, would appreciate any help.

  Sincerely,

  Bob

If drag and drop IE (Windows Vista) and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog do not update or acknowledge the move was done. I resynchronize the files each time.

  When you want to place a picture in another folder in LR, you must drag the thumbnail, not the rectangle around the thumbnail.

  Lightroom can not find the new location of photos installs under Windows. Just not a feature of this program. Therefore, you are better off to make the journey in LR.

  I don't know what tutorials you watch, but as I said, the location of files that have been moved in Windows is not a feature/capability of Lightroom. You have to point Lightroom to the new location of the photo, or better yet, place the photo in LR. Or, better still, not to move photos from one folder to another, rather to browse your photos in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata, and collections (rather than folders) as a method of organization.
