Share a catalog between desktop and portable

Both my machines run on Windows 7 pro and I recently installed Lightroom 3.3. To the help of my office, I imported all the photos in a catalog (catalog of Lightroom 3) on an external hard drive (with e-SATA connection). When I plug the external hard drive to my laptop and try to open the catalog of Lightroom 3, I get an error message: "Lightroom 3 can not use the catalog named"Lightroom 3"because it is not writable and cannot be opened. This can be caused by incorrect permissions or Lightroom because another application is using the catalg'

So, I created a second new catalog (Lightroom 3 catalog 2) on the external hard drive, using the laptop and imported the same pictures. The laptop can open and edit this second catalogue, but the office gives the same error message as described above.

By using these two same machines, with Lightroom 2.7 and a more primitive external hard drive, I used to be able to share a single catalog. Is - it is no longer possible with Lightroom 3.3, or I do something wrong? Or the problem nutrient with the external hard drive? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

This would be a feature of windows... probably under properties for the drive or folders?  First try the drive...

See you soon!

  • Active and re-Binder between desktop and portable

    I use my desktop pc as my main location for Muse, but when I travel I use a laptop. My files are stored in the cloud creative (and saved elsewhere). Whenever I'm away and using my laptop, Muse wants me to re-edit all the assets, because it says they are missing (sometimes in large numbers, 100 +). Why should I connect when files are accessed from the same place? Also, should I really be reprinted when the goods are not change or be replaced? I'm simply add on the Web site, not to change the locations of the files.

    We have to connect these 'missing' active to perform updates on my Muse site and publish? I don't want to learn the hard way and have my site completely messed up, if I decide not to spend a lot of time re connecting active hundreds.

    Thanks for any help or understand why this happens.

    p.s. I tried to use a portable hard drive and use between the two machines, however, it does the same thing.

    Thank you!

    Why always re-release of links? Muse stores the images in web size optimized within the .muse file. You have not need be reprinted, if you have not changed the original file. Similarly, if you your ftp site, and the original files are missing, restoring links is not necessary.

  • Sharing catalogs between Windows and OSX LR4

    I recently started using Lightroom 4 and was disappointed that I was unable to share my catalog between Windows and OSX as I could with LR2 and 3. The structure of the files has changed somehow? I mainly use a Windows computer at home, but when I travel, I have a MacBook Pro with the Mac of the LR4 version. All of my photos and catalogs are stored on a USB 3.0 external HARD drive. Although load catalog on a Mac shows all of my folders as question marks. It seems that Windows reads the disc as an indicator of the letter, ex. D:\ and OSX it reads as a volume. Used to before that this was not a problem. Does anyone know in a different way, I can get this to work specifically with this program. I already know that I can just download Boot Camp on my mac and run it like this.

    I think I found the answer to my own question. The catalogs that I have problems with were created with beta versions LR4. I just created a catalog using LR4 4.3 and loaded on the Win and perfectly good OSX. Hope this helps if anyone wants to try this out.

  • Reissue of active links between desktop and laptop

    Hello

    Is it possible to not have to re-edit the active link every time I spend between my desktop and my laptop when you work with the Muse? I have all my files in the cloud to Adobe, and every time I save and sync to my desktop, then open the files in Web site while traveling on my laptop, I have to spend a bit of time going back through and restoring links everything that I had done on my desktop. Files are taken from the same spot and registered to the same place (the cloud), so I don't know why I have to go back through and connect it all that I had just created when switching between desktop and laptop.

    Thanks for any help/input on this, I really appreciate it.

    Hi Davz,

    You will be able to use and edit your Muse file, even if you don't re - not link assets.

    It's just that you won't be able to change these assets, so you can redo the link assets whenever you need to make changes to the active files.

    Every time you switch machines, please save the latest version of your Muse file on a local disk and then use it. Using a .muse file saved on a cloud, or removable hard drive can cause problems.

    Also, I suggest you save a copy of all the files of components in a single folder (a local location, not the cloud or the removable hard drive); so, when Muse invite you to re - link assets, you can add a link to one of these files, and Muse will look in that folder for all your other missing links.

  • Desktop and portable computers

    can I use a liscence on my desktop and my laptop for the following products in Middle East Saudi Arabia

    1 master active collection Eng-Arabic

    2. delegating creative suite?

    Hi there - purchase of an individual liscense for an Adobe application allows you to install your program on two computers. However, you cannot the applicaton even simultaneously on both devices.

    Licenses for individual products or suites varies slightly from the CC license. In your case, if you bought for the Master Collection, you must purhcase either a Mac or Windows version. For this reason, you can only intall the Master Collection on two Macs or two PC devices. For Creative cloud however, you can install programs on both devices regardless of the brand.

    So the answer to your question is, Yes, the only thing that you will need to consider is the kind of devices that you use.

  • share a catalog between lightroom 5 and 6

    I just upgraded LR 5 to 6 on my desktop machine, because I have a new camera which is not supported in LR 5.

    I also shoot one off project site via a laptop in a LR5 catalogue, which is stored on a portable player, that I then interprets in my Studio to work on the images. a few days later I bring her to the place and keep shooting in the same catalog.

    my laptop is 32-bit, which means I can't install LR6 on it. It is also too small and not powerful enough to cause real changes in this regard.

    How can I share this catalogue LR5 between two machines?

    I can't just open it in 6, because it will be converted and then unreadable for 5, right?

    Can I force my desktop machine to open the LR5 catalogue? He always seems to be there, at least judging from the files I see in Explorer.

    Can I force LR6 to save in a compatible format?

    also: the entire workflow of this project is very dependent on plugins that I installed in LR5. I don't know, if they work at 6.

    Thank you

    Hi georg_m,

    As the catalogs are not backward compatible, you can not use catalog Lightroom 6-5.

    The best you can do is to write the changes and metadata in the files in Lightroom 6 and import images into Lightroom 5.

    After importation, you can read the metadata of these files.

    But if you have applied any new functionality develop in Lightroom 6, you would not be able to transfer it.

    Even you will not be able to transfer the flags of choice of collections, virtual copy and alter history.

  • Confused by UAC - worry about difference between desktop and laptop needs fixing.

    My computer laptop and desktop are installed with Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, both with all Windows updates current (apart from things like Bing Office).   The only difference I know, is that the laptop has been installed since a disc with SP1 integrated installation, while the Office was set up at the level of basic and SP1 installed later.

    Both have UAC turned (apparently) the same level (up to 3/4), and secpol.msc shows the same UAC settings.

    If I run Photoshop 9 (CS2) on the laptop, press F1 for help, I get a UAC elevation prompt before it displays help on the desktop it just goes straight to the help.

    If I double click on a MSP file in the laptop it has a (quite rightly) UAC elevation prompt before allowing the update to be applied.  On the desktop it just installed the update.

    UAC works on the desktop to a certain extent, as for example if I try to run a command as Administrator window, I get a prompt for elevation.

    This is worrying because it seems that in some way UAC has been partially disabled on the desktop from the laptop, and as much as I know I did not do anything to cause this happens.

    Details on what is happening and help solve this will be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance, Dave

    Well now that's interesting, after having reactivated the Protection System (System Restore) and change the UAC level up to maximum and back down again on 3/4, it now seems to work as expected.

    I'm still a bit confused, but at least I'm getting now guests of elevation when I wait for them.

    See you soon
