Tips for improving of LR2 to 3 during the passage to a new computer?

My old mac was a G5 so I finally joined the modern world with a new iMac. On the new machine, I installed LR3, but I'm still running LR2 on the old machine. I want to come all my photos/catalogs/dbs (probably by getting an external HD enclosure to the current unit of the old machine) to the new machine and LR2. A few tips on how to import everything? Nothing to watch? I have thousands of images, some of them paid employment, and I don't want to lose anything. Thank you.

Rule # 1: IMPORTEZ not!

That's what I'd do:

  • On the old machine and LR2, make sure that you have one (or a few) top level for all your images folders, and that they show in a hierarchical way in your folder Panel. You may need to use "Add a folder" several times to achieve.
  • With the old disk mounted on the new machine, double-click the LR2 catalog to start LR3
  • You will be asked if you want to convert your LR2 catalog in a catalog in LR3
  • Confirm this action, which will build a new catalog of your catalog of LR2 LR3, leaving the LR2 catalog because it is
  • If your missing files/images (that I'm not sure on a Mac when the same volume is mounted as an external drive), perform a 'find the missing folder' on all the top-level folders in your catalog, pointing to the files on the mounted volume
  • If needed/wanted, you can then move the folders from top level of image of in LR to another volume
  • If you need/want to move the catalog as well, copy the file ".lrcat [nomcatalogue]" and "[nomcatalogue] Previews.lrdata" folder to another drive when LR is closed and restart LR by double-clicking the copied .lrcat file
  • Delete the old catalog, once that you do not know the new works to your satisfaction

You can also consider to copy your presets, plugins and the failings of the cab from the old machine to the new one.

  • Wheel rotation during the passage of the apps

    Hello

    I frequently meet the spinning wheel during the passage of the apps. For example an app can do one, but open window have not been used for a while and then when I click on the window to use it I get the wheel spinning for a few seconds.

    I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a MacPro Mid 2010) with 16 GB of ram and 12 GB available on the 300 GB SSD drive. I just realized that maybe space on the boot drive may be the cause, so I'll empty now and update if there is no change.

    Also, my SSD is a 500 GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO media and I think that the TRIM is not enabled? I read that TRIM was not based with SSDS of third party on my machine and was picking up information contradictory as to the time it was a problem or not. The lack of TRIM could be the cause of the spinning wheel?

    You ran a 'cleaning', 'optimize' or 'speed up' apps on your Mac?  Have you installed an antivirus software?

    The 12 GB of free space must be sufficient and not to be the cause of the problem. Don't let him get any small however.

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 m602 slow printing during the passage of the trays

    Hello world!

    On the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 m602, who met breaks in print jobs during the passage of the trays?  Example, we are going to print invoices and we have a rule configuration that prints on plate 2 with the exception of the last page that is perforated paper tray 3.  So, in a job of 5 pages, pages 1-4 are the tray 2 paper... then page 5 is perforated tray 3.  There is a 2 to 3 seconds when the last page is extracted from tray 3.  If the invoice is only 2 pages, the print job appears super slow.

    This printer was working fine with no delay until we applied the firmware 2302786_433718.  Now, the delay is very noticeable.  We do not know if it was intentional or not in the new firmware.

    We use the latest PCL 5 Universal Print Driver.  The only thing that has changed is the firmware.  We even tried a full reset of firmware.  Problem is still there.

    I worked with HP support, but we were told to wait... the next version of firmware that may or may not fix everything.

    Any help or insight is appreciated.

    We have this same problem with our printer HP Laserjet 600 M602.

    Could solve by setting the Print Mode to all papertypes that are used for the same parameter.  We thought initially can be a problem, issue or firmware of the Board of adjustment, but in reality was the paper type settings. We set up printer for ordinary paper into tray 2 and tray 3, default regular bond has been set at light mode printing and binding for the print mode binding. Each time dial-up printer and trays, he stops to configure different paper type settings.

    Hopefully the other help solve their printing problems

    Acrobat STD is not available for Mac, you can install only the Acrobat Pro version.  Platform swap option is not available in this case, the product itself is different.

    If its like version of Windows Acrobat pro, you can change it to Acrobat Pro Mac. But not Acrobat Std to Acrobat Pro.

    However, for any additional clarification, you can reach the Support from Adobe:

  • ESXi crashes during the passage of network cables

    So I have 4 NIC cards on my ESXi server and im trying to virtulize my firewall (pfSense) and I'm running into a strange question. in any case while my VM works that I can swap the cables on another switch or a router and at random times I get the following error. Don't know why, but I have problems very below when connected to a switch. For example, to access the web administration for pfsense page I must have both the wan and lan connected to the same switch to ping 192.168.1.1

    This error would be a non supported 100% NIC?

    NETWORK interface is a RealTek 8168

    2 PCI RealTek 8169

    1 Intel Pro PCI

    Anyway's ideas on the message of error and strange behavior.

    Thanks for the help

    http://www.getrdone.org/pfsense/pfsense4.png

    Yes that's correct. the VMKdrivers gets crashed when there is such a disturbance with esxi.

    Also the realtek network adapter are not supported with esxi5...

    See the nic below for the supported network cards: i could not find a NIC realtek on the list.

  • mouse without borders do not transition to the keyboard during the passage of virtualbox for machine B

    Hello

    I have the following Setup.
    Win7 computer has
    Accommodation Virtualbox Ubuntu 12.04LTS
    Win7 machine B
    Whenever I go to Virtualbox directly to Machine B, the mouse works without any problem, but the keyboard does not transition.
    If I tap the keyboard typing rest on the Virtualbox VM commands.
    The only way to transfer is as follows.
    VM VirtualBox, mouse slide for Machine A Win7 box, click on and then go to the B machine where you will now be able to type (keyboard finally transitions).
    Note that I have observed the same behavior with other virtual machines, such as Mint and CentOS. So I don't think it's a problem related to the virtual machine.
    Finally, I used synergy before and it doesn't have the same problem. There are a few advantages to mouse without borders that is why I would use it.
    Please advise,
    Thank you

    Found a solution: simply disable "Auto Capture keyboard" in the global preferences of VirtualBox.
