Two computers and a catalogue of LR

I have CC photographer installed on a portable computer and a desktop computer. Everything works very well. I like to keep a catalog file in sync on both computers. Or should I try and configure the laptop as a mobile device and synchronize only some Collections? If so, how should I do this?

Thanks for your help.

So you say to keep on a portable hard drive and simply move from one computer to another?  I read that the main LR cat file should be on the system drive. I have a portable hard drive of 3T, which should be large enough.  I have over 100 k images.

Exactly. That's what I do. The catalogue should not be on the startup disk. If you dedicate a big drive to the LR, previews, your images and your presets catalog * you can move that drive to any machine that has the LR application on it, Mac or Windows. Double-click the catalog and you're all set. Which makes the drive for other purposes of easy super backup cloning. You may have as I do, three disks that are after the cloning, identical. One is the drive working, the other a backup, a third live in a fireproof safe. When you work on a single disc, adding new images and adding to the catalogue, you will bring it until another drive is a prefect "clone".

* in LR preferences defined "Store Presets with catalog" then they travel with the player when you move from one machine to the other. Takes 20 seconds to plug in the player, wait for it to go up, double click on catalog, actually.

    Hi moving,

    You can use Lightroom or Photoshop on two computers using a single license.

    If you want to use on the third computer, you should disable any previous machines and turn it then back on the 3rd machine.

    You can also consider getting another license or subscription to your other computer.

  • How can I work with LR on two computers and maintain synchronization?

    I y fotos and lightroom installed on your desktop (MAC). As I travel a lot, I would work on my laptop (MAC) will receive realize but then sync my work with my office when I get home.

    Ho do I do?

    Unfortunately, Lr does still support the synchronization of the catalogues. However, you can place your catalog on an external hard drive that is connected to the computer of your work at any time. Many Lr users find this approach is quite simple to manage. Alternatively, you can keep a copy of your catalog on both computers. This first part of this video using Lightroom on two computers - YouTube described describes how. If you use Lr5 or higher, then you must actually copy the actual photos that Smart previews can be used a proxy files. Intelligent previews are much smaller, so much more effectively to carry photos around on the laptop.

  • How to connect two computers and LAN

    I can't get my toshiba to interface with my desktop computer or to connect to the internet via a CAT5.
    I tried everything I know.

    I'm not too sure about the LAN MAC? He just will not connect even if the device is functioning properly.

    Any ideas?

    Here are the instructions how can connect the two computers.

    -First of all, you will need to disable the firewall.
    -Then you need to set the same workgroup on both computers
    -in the Lan Card Properties-> Protocol TCP/IP settings, you must assign the IP address manually. That is, a computer must use the 192.186.50.1 ip address and the other computer must be set to 192.186.50.2.
    -MAC address is fixed and cannot be changed. Each LAN card uses unique mac address

    After these settings, you must restart the portable computers (computers)

    PS: I recommend Google for details and further instructions.

  • Variables shared by using two computers and crossover cable

    Just trying to put together a simple testbed linking two computers by a crossover cable.  They correctly ping to each other.  I used examples of LabVIEW for TCP connections and they speak properly that way too.  I try to create and deploy variables shared on a computer, but the other computer will not identify not the SV on the first computer and vice versa.

    Can someone give me some details on how to build, deploy, and use effectively SV?  I have read all the documentation NOR, but I don't get the step-by-step approach very well.

    Thank you.

    Are you making them shared variable network published and linking them to each other? This document gives a very good step by step:

  • If you have two computers and you want to get your emails on both computers, how do you define it upwards so that all e-mail messages are downloaded to computers?

  • Cannot install two computers and the F4580

    I had a F4580 without the installation disk.    So far, I failed to install it on two computers.

    1. I tried to install the driver version on a Dell XP 4150 14.1.0.   I follow all the steps of the statement, I do not connect the USB cable too soon.
    I do not use a hub, the USB cable and the plug are ok with other devices.
    There is no other printers.   Usbmon.dll is in the registry.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver once.   I also tried HPPSdr.exe.

    Nothing helps.   The system does not find the printer over USB.

    2. else I need a previous version of the driver software.   In another thread someone said, he did install under windows 2000.    Nobody knows, what version supports windows 2000 and maybe a link where I can download it?   If I knew the number of the version, I can buy an old installation somewhere disc.

    Yes they care but I really like to help all the way to the end.  In this case, you are right because they accumulate previous drivers to work with those current and according to the date that the printer has been released may also determine how long they hold on the compatibility of this driver with older operating systems.  In addition, after 5 years, some things on the website simply into disuse.

    This is a Deskjet 990 c driver for Windows 2000.  This is a Deskjet 6980 driver for Windows 2000.  You can download both at least one of them should work.  Let me know if that helps you at all!

    Can I have Adobe CC enabled on both computers and also use mobile apps on iPad (like Illustrator Draw or Adobe brush). Most of the applications is free in the iTunes store - does that mean that I can use "outside" of my license paid?

    Although Monica you can certainly use mobile apps outside your paid license.

  • Two computers connected to the same account sync will not sync-ing

    I have two computers and an android device. I have set up A computer with sync, and it connects to a device and a virtual machine running in the computer, without any problem. I have another device that is not synchronized with them. It seems to be loged on the same account of Firefox. If I click Synchronize under preferences tab, all the options are checked and the account name is displayed. However, neither the favorite nor other data seem to be in sync to the device. Any thoughts?

    Hi ohnoplus,
    Thank you for your question. I'd be happy to help you explore this question with you. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that we can take:

    1. Please make sure that the version of the browser on Android is superior or 29.
    2. Please check in the accounts that there is no (obsolete) account.
    3. Please also try to remove the account, add once more
    4. Please, I beg you, then take a test and add a new bookmark, password or something on behalf of the Fund. Click on "Synchronize now".
    5. Set the account and synchronize it manually in the menu account on the mobile device.

    Note it may take a long time to synchronize on the first time, but please post back with the results and if there are errors, then, we can allow error logs.
