Using catalogs and folders in Dropbox from PC to iMac

Hello

I bought an iMac, and I intend to stop using my PC for work with Lightroom.

All of my pictures and catalogues are currently stored in an external hard drive connected to the PC, in a Dropbox folder.

My plan is to download all data from Dropbox to the iMac, locally as it is, and then simply to go on using Lightroom on those catalogs and photos.

I have no synchronization issues because I no longer use the PC for Lightroom, and the PC will not have access to Dropbox longer.

This would work or should I take other measures to ensure that records created PC and catalogs will work on iMac?

Thank you

Daniele

I don't see what Dropbox is currently used for. You can simply move the external hard drive with the catalog file and folders to the iMac.

As the drive name is different on a Mac, there on the PC, you will need to reconnect the photos inside Lightroom, by following these instructions (see Figure 4 and associated text), Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Power outage caused all the catalogs and folders to disappear, LR3.4

    Running LR 3.4 on a PC with Vista 32 bit when there was a power outage in the region. I turned off the 'power' to the PC.

    When the current was restored I rebooted the PC and LR and all the catalogs, folders and the files are all gone

    and LR wants to begin importing as it has just been installed. The last time the lrcat has been saved was June 20.

    I was wondering if there is a more lrcat to hidden somewhere in the PC because it works well or is there other

    Enjoy any suggestions before I get back since June 20 upwards.

    Well, a side note here: you did not change anything.  You see, LR at startup, it creates a .lock file.  You had LR running, then deleted a .lock file, which was for the _currently_running_LR_, not the missing catalog file.

    First thing I would do would be to do a complete search for any file ending with LRCAT.  Yes, as mentioned, you can find the location of the currently selected catalog by looking in the catalog settings, but he won't tell you that you have opened a bad.  :}

    So first, find all files ending in LRCAT.  So try them, one at a time, by double-clicking on them. If it's not her, out, double click on post then a.

  • I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  The problem is that I can't remember the arrangement of the original tree of my photo folders when I r

    I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  How can I keep my original photo folders tree arrangement when I restore backups of catalog on the new machine?

    The problem arises because Windows 10 is equipped with a new tree structure with new names for many of its branches.  Tree of Windows XP starts to Local Disk (C), and then does the following: Documents and settings, Susan [it's me the user], My Documents, SusanPhotos (the folder that I created that contains my photos) and then several subfolders and subfolders with my photos grouped by theme, for example the Puglia Italy and Italy-Roma.  My new computer Windows 10 has a different tree and different names for a large number of branches from early on: OS (C) [instead of Local Disk (C)], users, Susan, Documents [instead of the old My Documents], SusanPhotos [what I created] and then the subfolders and so on.

    Because of the new tree and the new names of the branch, I can't find a way to restore my PES 10 catalogues and photos attached to them to where I want to that they.  What I want to do is put the files from SusanPhotos to the Windows 10 Documents folder so that I find myself with the following tree, essentially the same as what I had on my old machine: OS (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, then the original subfolders with my photos.  Apparently 10 PSE does not allow me to move folders of photos in the Organizer, so that the pictures stay connected.

    PES 10 offers 3 options for restoration: Original, personalized and customized, keeping the original structure of the file.  Here's what happens to each:

    (1) original creates new folders with the old names and the structure of the tree, parallel to the tree Windows 10 has instead of inside the tree Windows 10.

    (2) custom with the original structure of the file is the restaurant where I want (within the SusanPhotos) but retains all branches superfluous-instant initial tree of Windows XP, production: BONES (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, Documents and settings [carried over from the old computer], Susan, My Documents, SusanPhotos, Roma-Italy and Italy-Puglia and so on.

    (3) custom (without checking the original file structure box) makes every SusanPhotos but without any organization: OS (C),..., SusanPhotos, Italy-Puglia and Italy-Roma and all other folders at the same level instead of in their original nested groups with subfolders.

    The first two methods you end up with a tree that is chaotic with two parallel trunks or a single trunk but with several redundant layers carried over from the old computer.  The third ends with no tree at all.

    One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like.  However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures.  With thousands of photos in hundreds of cases, the time required for the movement of individual pictures is prohibitive.  PSE10 allows me to move the catalog folder, but apparently not the folders containing the photos.

    The result is that at this time I have no solution to my problem.  Can you help me find a way to restore my photos while keeping their original organization?

    You simply use the 'Files' Panel on the left. Your folder tree appears. Simply, you drag and drop the folder to move with all its subfolders in the desired master file. That works exactly as in Solution Explorer, so be patient, you receive no message of progress until it is completed.

    You did a good job to understand the situation. I think that might help you is to understand that changes in the way default folders are created in a different version of Windows can be ignored if you do not use these structure 'default', from the shortcuts to your main folder of the user.

    I create a master folder 'My Photos' directly under the C: root.

    When I restore, I use the "custom" choice, as you have discovered, I only specify this folder in the restore process, and I completely ignore the default shortcuts to 'Documents' or 'Image '.

  • Records and photographs disappear from my catalog and LR but remain on my hard drive.

    I'm totally frustrated.  I used LR for years without problem until in recent months.   I had folders disappear from my catalog.  Import photos from my card to my hard drive using the LR import feature.  I then note my photos, put some in the collections, use keywords and perform a basic treatment.  However when I get back later - the folder and photos are no longer in the catalog or anywhere in LR.  The photos remain on my hard drive in the same folder that I copied them originally.  I can import again in LR, but lose all the editing, cataloging, etc, I did the first time.  This has happened regularly in the past months.  Tonight, I have imported some new photos and realized that 13 files and hundreds of photos that I took 6/14-8/6 were missing from the catalog and the LR but are right where they are supposed to be on my hard drive.   This isn't a problem with linking a file in LR in the folder on the hard disk - file and the photos are not anywhere in the LR catalog...  I have no idea how to solve this problem.   I have no idea how to solve this problem.  Any ideas?  Help?

    Do a search on your drive and see how many catalogues are about it. You are looking for *.lrcat. Sounds more like you have several catalogs and or you are using a type of system of automatic backup and for some reason LR among the old default catalog backups.

    Either that or the catalog is being corrupted, which means you have a hardware problem. Could be the hard drive or RAM.

  • Get Photos 'from files and folders"does not work beyond the letter 'G '.

    I have PSE - 7 is installed in Windows 7 64 bit. The program seems to work fine except for this:

    I have a very important folder; (141 GB, 2 500 files, 207 000 files) The command 'Get Photos from files and folders' stops working in the middle of the letter 'G'...!

    I have the same folder in a machine running Win XP, and both PSE 5 and 7 PES do not exhibit this behavior. Can I import from any letter of the alphabet...! (LOL)

    The catalog associated with this installation file has been optimized and recovered.

    This folder is located on the "G: /" drive (volume).

    HARD drive "G /: ' has been fully formatted (not a quick format).

    The only exception may be the way things should have been done, is that the catalogue was opened under the drive letter and the serial number of the drive.

    Using the drive letter, this catalog open immediately. Any ideas...?

    I learned that from the PSE 6, PSE uses the serial number of the HARD disk and not the letter of the reader to access the content. However, a catalog will still open and register correctly, using only the letter of the drive from it's previous machine. (Note that this is the same behavior as earlier versions of PSE, such as PSE-5, which depended only on the drive letter).

    --> When we say that the ESP is not dependent on the drive letter to access its content, it doesn't mean that the PSE will display the serial number of the HARD disk in the application. In this case, you have changed the drive letter from E to F, PSE media will not suffer.

    I'm usually import a whole folder. Until the letter 'G', PSE - 7 works as expected. The photos appear in the organizer and are accessible in all directions. After the letter 'G', it is impossible to select any folder inside the dialog box «Get the folders of files and folders» When the element is highlighted, the letters blink and change for other mailings, then selection resets nothing selected. After 'G', I have to use the, command "Get pictures by the research. This works as expected. Once the pictures are inside the Organizer, everything is as it should be.

    --> This is a known issue. Simply select "All Files" in the "File Type" drop-down list present in the import dialog box. After that, it will work very well.

    Just to sum up PSE6 or PSE7 are not supported under Win7 so you could face some issues.

  • Total deletion of emails and folders using Windows Mail

    I use Windows mail, last night (10/07/13) wiped my entire email, folders I created, everything. The only thing is that there are records of statndard. I was on a pop 3 and since his arrival in South Carolina last week and get rid of verizon I don't know what happened. During this time, he had 17 updates from microsoft, which had started the download as well. I tried to clean my system with Evidence Eliminator and this is the first time, this never happened. I was a sure stop where he cleans your files and then is supposed to be closed, because there no I did a manual stop with the power button when it started 17 updates, rebooted and then I check my emails and everything has disappeared? HELPPPPPP!

    Do a search for *.eml and include the hidden files and folders. See if get you what it is.

    You can also try a system restore. Not likely to work, but worth a try.

    Time to start backing up your messages, I think.

  • Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

    Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

    All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

    The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

    • Configuration of the default folder options.
    • reconstruction of the index
    • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
    • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
    • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
    • I checked this registry key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
    • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

    It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

    Frustrated!

  • See 5.2 management "Files and folders excluded from the roaming" Persona of the wildcards and special characters

    We want to exclude the character of AppData\Roaming\test_*.doc or AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Flash #SharedObjects and we have added to the list of exclusions, but they keep ending upward in the repository. Other exclusions are working as expected. What we should expect?

    If wildcards work, it would also be nice to be able to exclude AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ * \minidumps

    Hi Eric,.

    Character does not currently support the use of wildcard characters in the configuration options.  For example, "AppData\Roaming\test_*.doc" and "AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ * \minidumps" will not work.  However, I myself have tested 'AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Flash #SharedObjects' with 5.2 and it works very well.  Please note that "Files and folders excluded from roaming" not delete all existing files in the remote folder.  It simply prevents the files in the remote folder to be created in the local folder during logon, and it prevents any changes in the local folder from replication to the remote folder.  This allows to turn off the setting and return the original data if you need to.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you

  • Cannot select a record in the Get pictures from dialog files and folders in PSE/Win7/64 bit

    Hi guys,.

    has anyone seen this problem and I hope a solution...

    I test just PSE 7 on Win 7 64 bit.

    When I try to import photos in the Organizer, using Get Photos from files and folders, I propose in my pictures folder (which has subfolders 324 - one for each session).  When I (single) click on one of the files (except the first), the dialog box flickers, scroll bar on the right is growing and the subfolder does not get selected. When I scroll down, I see that some recent subfolders are missing from the dialog box. When I repeat this procedure a couple of times, all that remains in the dialog box is the first subfolder, you can still select OK. It seems to be related the number of subfolders, as other records do not show this behavior.

    I tried to install the latest graphics driver, I tried with PSE 8 trial, changed the looks of the folder to all possible options (thumb small, big, detail, etc.), changed the program for Windows XP SP2 compatibility, no change...

    This same machine worked on the same exact file OK with Win XP and 7 PES.

    Advice would be useful...

    Thanks in advance

    Unless the site you develop is for the Asian market, I don't know why you want to use that particular font. The Basic, standard and digital alphabet punctuation glyphs has sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can use the font .ttf and .otf and web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so great. Pages should load quickly and 78 MB, with a value of faces to download for those who have connections slow Internet is not fast.
