How to migratre Lightroom DB to another PC

Hi,
I recently got a more powerful PC and would like to move my Lightroom DB and photos to that PC so I can work more efficiently. I've copied the photo files to the new hard drive (same path). I then copied the Lightroom DB over top of the default one after installing Lightroom on the new PC.
When I launch Lightroom, I can see the Library view and 1286 image placeholders (even color-coded, as I had made them). But there were no thumbnails in the image placeholders and Lightroom also says there are 1286 files missing.
What could I be missing? Is there a proper migration procedure to allow me to move my work to this other PC?
Thanks,
B

Just thought I'd let you guys know that I found a KB article on preference file locations and decided to copy the following files/folders as well:
-Preferences
-Metadata Presets
-Lightroom Previews.lrdata
I can see all the thumbnails now but when I go to Develop on any of the images, I see an error "The file could not be opened." For some reason it's still having trouble seeing all the image files I copied over.
Any ideas?

  • How to transfer Lightroom settings  from one catalog to another?

    Lightroom 5. I have combined two catalogs into one "Master Catalog" per Julian Kosts tutorial ( http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-julieanne-kost/lr3-merging-individual-lightroo m-catalogs-into-a-master-catalog-/ ) without incident. However, my presets are not to be found. Could there be other issues? How Do I properly get these presets into my Master Catalog?
    How to transfer Lightroom settings  from one catalog to another?

    Nevermind.
    Per the turorials, this is suppose to occur automatically.
    In the rare event that it does not, forced by lack of support through Adobe or the forums, I am relagated to resolve my problem the old fasjion way. Guessing at a solution of dragging and dropping (risking overwritting current the newer LR5 files (careful now).
    I love the product but trying to get problem resolution here has been disapointing.
    I'd like to retract this entire question session.

  • How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

    You can copy your image file  from you PC to your Mac over your home network or via DVD/CD.  You can not install you PC CS5.1 version on you Mac. Its not compatible with MAC OS.  You would need a MAC version of CS5.1 and Mac version serial number to activate it.  Adobe no longer markets CS5 so you most likely will not be able to pay for a platform switch media install.

  • How do I move and install Lightroom 5 onto another comupter?

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on a laptop (Windows 7), but want to get the program downloaded to a new desktop that runs on Windows 8. The videos are great, but cover copying photo files, and don't explain the best way to get Lightroom downloaded to another computer. I know I can't keep it on the laptop once I move it over, which is fine, just don't know how to do that first step. Any help appreciated.

    If you have it as part of Creative Cloud, then install it via adobe.com otherwise install it from the same media you used for the laptop. Note that you can have it installed on both the desktop and the laptop as long as you only use one machine at a time.

    Hi Owe Olsson,
    If you have Lightroom 5 Subscription then you can install and activate it on 2 machines. You just have to download Creative Cloud Desktop apps from the below mentioned website and use your Adobe ID and password to activate.

    If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

    I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

    You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
    You only need a file with Anchor links like this:
    <pre><nowiki>

    If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

  • How to refer one view from another view?

    Hi,
    I have 2 views in my Adobe Flash Builder mobile app. I need to refer the first view in my second view.
    How to refer one view from another view? Or how to create a reference to a view wherever needed?

    I don't need any data from my first view. In a certain flow, I need to make my first view to be invisible.
    for eg., My First view is in portrait mode. I change the device to Landscape. In the landscape mode, I want to show a completely different view (second view).
    In this case, what happens is, I see my first view in Landscape mode for a second. Then the second view appears. When I change to Landscape mode, only the second view should be seen. I need to make my first view to be completely invisible in the OnOrientationChanging event of
    StageOrientationEvent
    As stage object and StageOrientationEvent works at application level, I need to know how to refer my first view object in the application level.
    private function onOrientationChanging(soe:StageOrientationEvent):void
          MyFirstView.Visible = False; ====> don't know how to refer MyFirstView here
    Is my question clear now?

  • How to include one view into another view

    Hi SDN's,
                   Could any please tell me,How to include one view into another view.
    In my requirment.I want to create a 'Z' view for an interface .In that  view i have to take,
    1) Ship-to-email adrr by
                              LIKP-KUNNR -> KNA1-ADRNR
                              KNA1-ADRNR -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER.
    2) E-mail addr of person who created the document.i.e
        LIKP-ERNAM -> USR21-BNAME.
        USR21-ADDRESNUMBER ->  ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER 
        USR21-PERSNUMBER -> ADR6-PERSNUMBER.
       In both the case we have to pass ADDRESSNUMBER to ADR6 table.
    If we pass these condition it fails,B'Coz at a time it passes Two ADDRESSNUMBER and a PERSNUMBER.
    So i created two which fetches only the email addr of  person who created the document.and another view fetches Ship-to-email addr.
    Now i want to include the second view into first view . Is it possible?or please
    tell me someother way to get these email addresses in a single view.

    hi
    as per my knowledge, nested views are not possible. However, while creating a new view, selection method will not giv u option to select the already created view(S) except the tables..i think so.
