How do I tell LR that my photos are now on a different disk?

Hi all,
I would think that this question might have been asked before, but couldn't find a solution that helped me out. I run out of space on my laptop and decided to move all my photos to an external drive and use that as an extension of my laptop to work on and store my photos. So I copied all my photos from my main disk over to the external drive, but I'm stuck as far as telling LR that it should from now on use the photos on the external drive rather than the ones on my laptop. I simply copied the contents of the Pictures folder on my resident drive to the external drive, therefore, it should be a faithful mirror of what is found on the residential drive. I was hoping I wouldn't have to import all those photos again at their new location but instead there is a way to simply point LR to the new directory?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi sundaydiver!
Click the ? icon in the upper right corner of an image in Grid view. You will get a dialog box telling you the image can't be found. It will tell you the previous known location. Press the LOCATE button.
Next you are presented with a Finder (Mac) or Explorer (PC) window. Navigate to where the new file resides. Make sure that the checkbox FIND NEARBY MISSING PHOTOS is checked. That should find them. If a few are left out just repeat the process.
Generally, the higher up in the folder structure the image is the more this process will find.

I moved my Masters, now how can I tell Aperture that my photos have moved?

I just purchased Aperture, and wanted to import my iPhoto photos into Aperture. However, there was not nearly enough hard drive space on my MacBook, so I copied the iPhoto photos onto an external hard drive, and then imported the photos from the external drive into Aperture, keeping the masters on the external. So far, so good. Now I disconnect the external hard drive from my MacBook and attach it to my AirPort, thinking that I would be able to mount the external over my network and Aperture would see that the maters were now on the networked drive. However, now Aperture is saying that it cannot find my master images. So my question is, how can I tell Aperture that my photos have moved? I thought about the relocate master menu item, but I can't to that because I am not actually relocating the images, I am relocating the drive that the images are stored on. Any help would be most appreciated

Reconnect Masters, as opposed to relocating them.

The latest answer from you to me is that my photos are safe and that I should look in a default folder. I have tried to do this but cannot find it. How do I find the default folder.

I received your emai stating that my photos are safe and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder. I have tried looking in the default folder and there is nothing there to help. Some of these photos were scanned in from my Cannon Printer. Surely if Adobe are requesting me to register and telling me they will send me a code no. that is all that needs to be done.

Your advise please?
I'm so sorry, but in today's world, the support of low cost products through personal contact has become very uncommon. It simply does not pay to sell a product for $50 or $100 and then pay people to sit in cubicles to talk on the phone that may cost $50 or $100 an hour.
That said, I'll try to help for free!
CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 are products from the past that, as far as I know are not being updated or maintained. Adobe has replaced them with the "Creative Cloud" or "CC". So, if you want a current version of "Premier CC", you "rent" it for $20 a month. For $50 a month, you can rent everything Adobe makes for photogrphers, videographers, designers and graphic artists.
If "upgrade" means "get a cheaper price", no.
The easiest way to buy the DVD version of Elements 13 is to order it from a major retailer like B&H Photo or Amazon. I've checked and both have it. The cheapest way to buy it is to wait for holiday season pricing.

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be viewed in itunes, but none on the external will sync to my iPad. What's up with that.

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

Thanking you in anticipation!

I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

How do I tell Mail that it has incorrectly grouped messages as a conversation?

I like the Conversations feature of Mail, but apparently using the same subject line in 2 emails sent 6 months apart is enough to have the grouped. Can someone please tell me how I can tell Mail that it's wrong and not to group those particular messages. As far as I can tell I need to either turn the entire feature off or just accept that apparently Mail knows better than I do....

I had this problem too. Try filing the two messages into separate folders. I hope that helps.

HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

Im running a mac air with osx 10.9.2 and i tried installing a legal version of windows 7 OEM but it tells me that support drivers are missing so i have to cancel installation and do the option cmd p r to get it to boot.

when i use boot campcamp it gets to installing then it tells me that support files are missing. how can i install w7 in boot camp on a make air osx 10.9.2 i am using a iso win 7 sp1 image and the copy is legal. it get stuck on saying it cant find support drivers. I dont like windows 8 and would rather use w7 (i dont like windows at all but need it for using VB for a class at school) can i install a linux version like scientific instead of windows ? if i can ill just buy a cheap PC to use VB on

i have a usb super drive can i use that instead ? i dont have another usb stick and the one i have has 27G of data on it and tranfering it takes time. I can buy one if thats the only way to do it on a mac air but i figure i have the super drive and could put the w7 support files on it and i have the w7 on disk and iso img saved on the mac.
BTW
Thank you for helping me. I know it can be a pain in the butt helping people when the tasks seems so straight forward. I really appriciate your time

Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
like about Mac/Apple?
To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.
