Move default location of Lightroom files

I would like to move my lightroom files, including the catalogs and my photos, out of the My Pictures photos in Windows 7.  (I use the My Pictures folder for photos which are post-processing.)   I can't figure out how to do this -- any advice?

1. Drag the Lightroom folder to the new location, same with image folder.
2. Open the Lightroom folder and double click the .lrcat file (catalog) to launch Lr.
3. If the image thumbs show a ? symbol on top right corner you can use the Find Missing Folder option under the folder context menu
This miss might help for relocating the images http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

    Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

    I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

  • The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
    FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.

    Found the solution.

    Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
    Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes library
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
    ... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

    not sure that i understand your question, but make sure that there are no spaces in the path that you are trying to load the file from. c:\My Documents\text.txtshould bec:\MyDocuments\text.txthope that helps.

  • In preferences default location for .sql files doesn't work

    1.1.2.25 I go into preferences and set the default location to look for .sql files but when I click the open button it uses the sqldeveloper install directory and I have to browse for my folder. This is only on start up, once I have browsed to it one time it holds the location.

  • DVD for Movie and location for picture files

    In iDVD can I play a movie of some pictures and also use the dvd for a location of the pictures used soe a person can watch the movie or go to a folder from the menu and see the pictures or drag the pictures to their computer?

    Are you referring to the Dvd-Rom section of the dvd? Yes you can add any file you wish to this section but it wont be playable by most set top dvd players. But you can use a computer to drag and drop the data to a different mac or pc.
    Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
    You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
    You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
    To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
    Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
    The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
    Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
    Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
    You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
    When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
    As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.
    NOTE: It is not recommended that you use this feature as a way to create regular system backups on DVD. If you want to create DVD backups of files on your computer’s hard disk, use the Burn Disc feature in the Finder.
    When you add RAW images to a slideshow from iPhoto or from elsewhere on your computer, the files appear as JPEG images in your slideshow. If, in iDVD preferences, you choose to add photos from the slideshow to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc (so that viewers can download them to their computers), the RAW files are added, not JPEGs.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
