The pictures/catalogue on a NAS storage

Hi all

I have a Macbook Pro on my network and also a desktop computer. I want to do is to store my photos on my NAS and run the catalog from there, if I can share on both computers. However when I try to point to a network directory that LR has told me he is not able to do. Is there a way to get around this? I would like to be able to store on the server and work from there.

See you soon

LR does not support the good catalog storage on network volumes, but you can store photos on network volumes.  There are two solutions of workaround for the restriction of catalogue:

-Keep your photos on a network volume and use Dropbox (or similar) to synchronize the catalog file between your computers.

-Create an image disk writable on the network drive and store your catalog in this disk image.

There are discussions in this forum and the official feedback Adobe forum giving more details on them. No work around is officially supported.  I have tried both methods, but I feel like the other threads, is that they could be fragile.   So make sure that you have reliable, tested backups of your catalog.

  • Lightroom loses the files on a network (NAS) storage disk

    I use Lightroom 5.7 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit.

    A couple of weeks, I've installed a network (NAS) storage system as I was running out of HDD space.  I created a logical drive on the NAS for the Photos.  In Lightroom, I dragged photo on the new drive files.  Backup and catalogue files remained on the internal hard drive.

    My photos are arranged in chronological order, in directories (years) and its subdirectories (days, named using the format "2014_12_31").

    Since files on the NAS, Lightroom has been giving me some error messages in the develop module, that it cannot find the files.  Previews discovers very well in the library module, and the files are still there when I look for them in Windows Explorer.  The errors do not occur in the directories subdirectories integers (years) (days) - only some files in the respective subdirectories are affected.  And only the files of 2015 seem to have the problem.  And, when I drag the directories back on my internal hard drive (again, within Lightroom), the errors disappear and everything works fine.

  • If I delete the pictures of my phone are they gone from iCloud too? Try to free some storage capacity

    Ive deleted over 500 hundreds of photos of my phone thinking he saved on iCloud but they re gone from there, is possible to recover?

    If you have removed the over the last 30 days, they will be in your recently deleted album.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.

  • What would be the settings on iPhone to reduce storage of pictures on the phone?

    If I am connected to iCloud photo storage, what settings on iPhone.  I want to avoid having pictures stored on the phone and taking too much space.  I chose Optimize iPad storage?

    If you use iCloud photo library (settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud photo library), you cannot avoid having all the pictures stored on the iPhone or iPad. The more you can do to reduce the required storage on the device is to activate settings > iCloud > Photos > iPhone (or iPad) Optimize storage.

  • I opened an older catalog and lost the original catalogue with over 2 years of picture about it - help

    I opened an older catalog and lost the original catalogue with over 2 years of picture about it (I have never opened any other catalogs - I never chose to save either). It is not saved anywhere that I can see as a catalog on my computer. If I didn't save it before opening the oldest catalog (I don't remember specifically save anything) would it save in another format, other than a catalog somewhere?

    What happens if you choose file-> to open the new item? Another catalog is listed, and you can choose it? Simply switch to a different catalogue may not cause the previous catalogue to disappear.

  • Sierra and Photos: unable to load library of pictures located on a NAS

    I have a 300 GB photo library located on a NAS.

    No problem with El Capitan and Yosemite.

    With Sierra when I opened the Photos I had a spinning wheel and even after a night full, nothing happened (Finally, the NAS disconnected... but I think it's something Sierra... never happened before)

  • Accidentally deleted a photo, I want to keep it, how can I get the picture back?

    I was looking through all my new messages and did a lot of deletion. This photo of girls came and I accidentally hit the bar to remove it. Is it possible that I can get her back? I found the picture in the file to be deleted, but can not see some sort of "undo" or send me the photo via email
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    BanjoJim

    Under edit is an undo command. He's going to cancel the last operation only so if you deleted something else after that will not work.

    If you find the message in the trash, just slip and fall back into the folder that you want only it in.

    FYI: using the Inbox for storage to long term of the message that you want to keep is a bad idea. Read this article on the maintenance of your messaging system.

  • Using Photos to examine only the pictures from a SD card?

    1. I would like to be able to go through the folders of photos on my MBP and use pictures to see the photos and delete the folder WITHOUT the pictures copied to the program. Is this possible?

    2. I have Photos configuration using iCloud photo library so everything in my library of Photos is available on my iPad, iPhone, iMac. Is it possible to copy photos in the Photos on my Mac to make some changes before it is copied to all my other devices?

    Thank you.

    1. I would like to be able to go through the folders of photos on my MBP and use pictures to see the photos and delete the folder WITHOUT the pictures copied to the program. Is this possible?

    No, this is not possible. Even if you use pictures as a referenced library, where Photos any not originals, but leave them where they are, you cannot delete the files referenced outside the library of Photos.  Photos can only remove the photos it imports and manages.

    This help page explains the photo storage schema: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht12e7a8015

    2. I have Photos configuration using iCloud photo library so everything in my library of Photos is available on my iPad, iPhone, iMac. Is it possible to copy photos in the Photos on my Mac to make some changes before it is copied to all my other devices?

    Create a second local library of Photos of local changes.

    You can have several libraries of Photos, but only one of them can synchronize with iCloud photo library.

  • QuickLook works do not for the pictures in Messages

    I am a very experienced user with multiple Macs and several iOS devices, all El Capitan running (or Yosemite) and iOS 9.3 and all messages (SMS/text/iCloud) synchronize correctly between all devices. But on my main Mac, a 2015 (MBP) (El Capitan) MacBook Pro, if someone texted me photo, when I select this picture, and then use the space bar to call QuickLook (to enlarge the photo), I get a window (white) large, empty, instead of the actual image:

    (Interestingly, the empty window door the correct name of the photo, but no image).

    So, on this machine, if I want to display an image that I received, I have to drag Messages on the desktop, and then I can use QuickLook. But QuickLook refuse to work within the Messages.app. (This is NOT the case on any of my other Macs. On these machines, when I hit the space bar, I get a larger version of the picture, as expected. "But it's the Mac I use more often!)

    I should also mention that this MBP is new, and its contents have been cloned, from a backup of my previous MBP a few weeks ago. And the previous MBP had the same problem, both in El Capitan and previously in Yosemite. This seems to suggest that there is a kind of corruption, somewhere.

    Any suggestions?

    I've considered trashing preferences, but Messages has several preferences files, and I don't know which ones to affect function. I'm fine with reset preferences of the application or on the way home my account information. But more importantly, if possible, I don't want to lose my message history.  :-)

    Preferably related files include:

    com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist

    com Apple.IMessage.Bag.plist

    com Apple.iChat.plist

    com Apple.imagent.plist

    No one knows which of these may be better to try to remove, while retaining the history of my message? Alternatively, if I'm on the wrong track, I would appreciate any other suggestions.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The captain also lacks the ability to open preview

    This photo is also an AIM chat who actually sent this photo 'online' if I zip (Compress) them.

    com Apple.iChat.plist is not holder iMessage 'story' that he she now holds the recent list of cat (which is useless because there is no option in the file Menu to access).  It also holds all preferences and Settings Menu d ' option.

    com Apple.imagent.com holds the account names of all accounts that you have and are involved in logging operations behind the scenes. There is a process called image that starts when the computer does and it will be based on the setting in the General Section identify enough to 'listen' servers. The parameter in the section general read "when I leave Messages, set the status offline" - it does not affect the iMessages account that will always show offline Messages.

    com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist it is not longer used.  Yosemite El Capitan, it uses com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist instead.  It is also only on the info on behalf of iMessages and not on the 'history' or how pictures of cats are treated.


    com Apple.IMessage.Bag.plist it lists only the last used Apple iMessages server.


    However, there are these some .plist in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.soagent/data/Library/Preferences which also play a role.

    Note the location of the path bar across the bottom.

    com.apple.messageshelper.FileTransferController.plist very probably watching the wick she holds a record of all the files and images sent to you, but in the hex names.

    View of Xcode.

    com Apple.quicklookconfig.plist doesn't seem to have relevant information.

    The next would be the Preview but .plist which is as empty as the at a glance.

    The real "live .plist lies in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Library/Preferences , rather than having an Alias point in the folder ~/Library/Preferences.

    That said, and after reviewing through it I see no reference to what applications it is allowed to work with.

    This seems to be a question that involves 3 apps, look and preview Messages.

    All have read and write routes through ~/Library/Containers and the file final storage ~/Library/preferences.

    I am tempted to check the number of files that have lost your property and read and write permissions see this thread and useful item before the green marked resolved one.  Reset Home Folder permissions and ACLs error  (Linc offers first - marked text relatively useful, then a "Fix" that is the Green post resolved.

  • Did I lose my iTunes pictures if I allow a storage iCloud?

    Currently, I back up photos on iTunes and to enable storage of photos in iCloud.  When I turn the button, it says that I lose more than 1000 photos from iTunes.  How can ensure me that I have dobt losing these photos and ensure that they are part of the cloud storage.

    Photos that alert refers to are the pictures available to you on the phone and who were transferred to the phone using iTunes to sync it to the computer. They will be deleted from the phone, but will not be removed from the computer. There is more information in the section titled "what happens if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud library" to get help with your iCloud photo library - Apple Support Note that section a also instructions on how could return these pictures on your phone by downloading them manually to iCloud where they would then sync to your phone (although that may take time to 1,000 pictures).

    And more photos synchronized being removed from the phone (which is what the warning message that you see), note that after turning on iCloud photo library, a backup of the phone via iTunes is more pictures. That is discussed in the section called "backup to iTunes" in the following link: about backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

  • How to keep the pictures completely in sync between Mac and iPhone

    I want to keep the pictures I have in my photo app on my Macbook completely in harmony with those of the Photos.app on my iPhone.

    But I have several pictures on my iPhone in the Photos.app I deleted in the Photos app on my Mac.

    So, what should I do to keep them always completely in harmony?

    When I delete a photo on my Mac, I wanted that same picture to disappear on my iPhone and vice versa.

    When I delete a photo on my Mac, I wanted that same picture to disappear on my iPhone and vice versa.

    That is what iCloud library is for.  All photos will be stored in iCloud, and if you import, delete, or change a photo on one of our devices, it will be updated in the libraries of pictures on all your devices.  But you'll need to subscribe to enough iCloud storage to store all your photos, and if you use the option "optimize storage' on one of your devices to save storage, you will need an internet connection to be able to enlarge the photo or to change.

  • Where are the pictures stored when taking a picture using the Microsoft Lifecam HD 6000?

    Microsoft lifecam hd 6000 image storage

    Hi all

    Does anyone know where the photo store, after I take photos using microsoft lifecam hd 6000?

    Thank you.

    You can check if the pictues were stored in the folder %Temp%.

    Click on Start and then run.

    In the text box on the run window, type %temp% , and then click OK.

    A folder full of files and other folders will appear.

    You can search by the date field for the day that you were using your WebCam. If the pictures are not saved, you can search for them by name. If you cannot find them by searching, photos no longer on your computer.

    If you want to increase the space available, all the folders and files that you see in this Temp folder are no longer used by Windows XP and can be deleted safely.

    To remove files or individual files, hold your Ctrl key while clicking on each item you want to remove. Release the Ctrl key when you are finished.

    To remove these items, press your delete key or choose file , then delete from the menu.

    Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes in the window to confirm deleting multiple files that opens.

    After all the files have been deleted, you can close the window and empty your trash, permanently remove the files from your PC.

    To ensure that the pictures of the webcam are saved for next time, you need to manually back up.

    Let us know if that helps.

    I have windows 7 on my computer at home, but my camera supports Windows xp 64-bit will work I have to download to download my photos?

    ===========================================
    OK... something to try...

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.
