Using Lightroom CC on several systems
How can I use Lightroom CC and access my catalogue between the two systems (for example an iMac and a MacBook)? There must be an easier way to take care of an external hard drive and its connection to such systems as recommended in the FAQ.
Hi mic,
You can use an external hard drive to access the catalogue even on multiple computers. It's the easiest way, and I suggest this workflow.
However, it is not required.
Lightroom is designed to be used on a computer using a catalog at a time.
In order to use the same catalog and the same set of images, you must only make sure that Lightroom is able to access.
If you wish, you can follow the underside of workflow using the same catalog and images on multiple computers.
You can upload your images and the catalog to a storage online as the creative cloud, once you have finished on a single computer.
You need to download the same on the other computer. Once you have done on the second computer, you must download the catalog and newly added images again.
Now if you want to use the first computer, you must download the catalog and news images and replace/upgrade them at the same place as the other computer.
This should allow you to use the same catalog on multiple computers.

I have creative photography of cloud, I use Lightroom 4.5 most of the time. When you edit photos two days ago 4.5 Lightroom crashed leaving me with no photos in the Collection, folders or anything. He continues to say yhat I have no pictures. What can I do to recover my thousands of photos and started using Lightroom CC 2015?
To work properly, Lightroom needs three things:
1. the program - Lightroom (you v4.5 and CC - both installed)?
2. a file catalog (.) LRCAT)
3. your original images. (If these are missing, you must restore backups)
I suggest you open the Lightroom-CC program from creative application of Cloud, (OPEN the button appears after INSTALLATION)
If LR - CC opens with no photos, go to Menu > file > catalog open (or press Ctrl + O)
Find your file of catalog LR - 4.5 (the...) LRCAT) to open it.
LR - CC will make a copy of the catalog file and convert the copy to work in LR - CC (LR can add "-2" at the end of the name)
If it opens with your images everything is good - you use LR - CC with an updated catalog.
Problems that may still occur.
Your catalog LR4.5 is 'locked' due to a 'crash '. You must delete all files with the. LOCK the extension of the suffix, then try to open the catalog.
Your LR4.5 catalog is corrupted. You will need to find and restore a previous backup of the catalog.

Hi, I use lightroom 5 and have been for several years. Today I imported several batches of today images from different cameras without any problem, but the images of a particular card (with an incredibly large memory) does not matter. I see other people have had similar problems, but I am not able to follow these solutions and would very much help here. I have an IMac.
If you had probably two problems
Permissions, the other is the hardware problem causing slow import and the card cannot be read by your operating system.

Some of my photos have a purple line which passes through. I use Lightroom six, but had the same problem with the previous version. I tried different software and do not have the same problem, so I don't think that the problem is with the camera. The camera is a Fujifilm X100T. Any idea?
Purple lines on the photo almost always indicate that some piece of hardware caused a corruption of file. It could be any piece of equipment in the transmission of the record of the caard of the camera to the computer. One obvious thing you can try is to move the photos to the computer via a USB drive / different to different cards. If possible, you can try to copy the photos to a different computer and then import into Lightroom. Run diagnostics on your hard disc controls and the memory of the computer.
Other software may display the file does not cuorruption, but it is usually display the preview JPG that is embedded in the RAW file, and this JPG preview is very often very well when the image RAW itself is corrupt. So the fact that else sofrtware shows not only the problem is irrelevant.

Is it interesting to use Lightroom instead of Photoshop RAW Editor?
I have been using Photoshop elements for several months. Recently, I decided to try the free trial of Photoshop and Lightroom 30. My question is this: is it interesting to use Lightroom instead of Photoshop RAW Editor?
They have the same raw tools but LR offers a better workflow system and the organization because of its database (catalogue) I mean full Photoshop. Elements has a stripped down version of Camera Raw.
If you understand the elements, the catalog is similar.

use of iPhone time data system Services and location
Since last month, data use under Services system-> time and place has increased "substantially." It's pretty evenly half my data use, whatever I do. I have not added new applications or use the phone differently I have in the previous months.
I use a tracking, human application, but even if I turn off mobile data for her and use of data in the time and the place continues to be half of my mobile data.
How can I start troubleshooting? I have read the discussions here and off mobile data and background update and synchronization for most things. This has reduced the use of the data, of course, but the time and the place continues to be half of my data.
I'm on a 1 GB plan, that was a lot, now I close out maxxing when I don't care.
Hi branches,
Thanks for checking out the Apple Support and communities for the detailed information of what is happening with your data in time and place. I can understand wanting to make sure that you are able to easily manage your usage data and wanting to know which application is causing this additional use.
Since you have already completed these steps, I recommend you to disable the location Services for all of your applications, and then turning them back on one or two at a time, as needed, to help determine what applications likely to use your location. You can disable the location for applications and services system with these steps.
Enable or disable location Services. Go to settings > privacy > location Services. You can turn it off for some or for all applications and services. If you disable location Services, you are prompted to activate again the next time, that a service or application attempts to use it.
Disable the location Services for system services. Several system services, such as the calibration of the compass with geolocation of ads, using location Services. To see their status, activate them or disable, or display the location Services icon in the status bar when these services use your location, go to settings > privacy > location Services > System Services.
You can find the steps listed above in the iPhone user guide.
You can also find additional information about the parameters of your privacy and location in this article.

See you soon!

Can I use Lightroom 6 if I have an iMac with a chip chart 24 bit?
All,
I have an iMac of 2013 end (27 inches) with the following specifications:
Chipset model: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M This is per pixel is 32-bit color (ARGB8888).
However, for Lightroom 6 official system requirements are:
- Processor Intel multicore with 64-bit support
It will work with 32-bit color as well or not?
Currently, I use Lightroom 4 and want to switch to Lightroom 6 so I can make the panorama without having to use a plugin.
Anyone who can tell me if it will work?
Figure 32-bit depth, and support for 64-bit processors are two TOTALLY different characteristics. Lightroom 6 FONCTIONNERA on your computer as you certainly have a 64-bit processor.
