Moving photos to a new HDD. Getting PSE10 to recognise the move

Hi all. My PSE10 is now working a treat after all the help I got from the forum so I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable chaps another question to save me buggering things up!!
My original HDD is full to capacity. I have purchased and installed a second internal HDD which I intend to transfer all my documents, photos, videos and music onto leaving only programs and the OS on the old HDD and creating a bit of space.
How can I transfer my whole library over? Should I do a restore? Will it ask me where to restore to so I can tell it to my new HDD? Can I then just delete all the photos of my old drive? Is the move option better? Just want to avoid a world of pain when I do the swap!

Yep. You have certainly understood. I shall try this and report back. Is there any benefit of doing this as my main objective was to create space on my full original HDD which has already been achieved by moving the mass of photos over?
Cheers for your help.
The benefit will be the transfer of the catalog to the new disk. You'll save the disk space taken by the catalog : simply locate the catalog as stated in my previous post and look at the disk space taken by the catalog folder. I do not see any significant disadvantage in moving the catalog.

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

    The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
    Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

  • How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

    I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch.  I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem.  Can anyone help?

    thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu.  Do you have any other suggestions?

    I try to play my rented movie but I get a message sayin the movie requires Quick Time (which I have) which is not supported by this version of itunes.  What Am I doing wrong?

    Thank you, I think we are close  but this hasn't worked since the instructions per the document call for a selection of File>get into, which does not come up as a "bold" choice and is therefore not accessible, at least on my computer.  It sounds like we are on the right track but I am not able to follow the instructions since the choices, as outlined in the article, are not chosable on my menu.  Not sure what the problem is?

  • HT1657 How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played? (due to iTunes "unknown error")

    How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played?  (due to iTunes "unknown error"?)

    I'm not sure whether rentals appear on your purchase history, but try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If it doesn't appear there (or if that process doesn't work, it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) should either grant you a re-download or credit you if it didn't play in its entirety - try the 'report a problem' page to contact them : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab.

    I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab. All of the support I have read talks about the movie being in the "movies" tab. I cannot use the "move" function or the "transfer" function because they are not available. Is this an issue because I just updated to the newest software?

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

  • How do I get photos to show in my collections folders after moving photos to a new location?

    After exporting my main folder to a new location along with the .lrcat and .lrdata files, along with my backup files, all of my collections folders show zero images in them.  I need to somehow link these files together to get my collections back.  The pnotos are there, just not showing in the collection folders.

    Whats the simplest and most easily mainted method for storing files?  Do folks dump them into one huge file and then sort with Lr collections or do they import into smaller files AND sort with collections. 
    I would like to back up the mess I have and use collections but not sure if there is an efficent way to do so.
    I believe that sometimes you are using the word "file" to mean "folder"
    The simplest and easiest way to manage files is to use the default import mechanism in Lightroom, which is to put them into folders by capture date. This takes zero effort on your part. From that point on, you NEVER move them, how simple is that? (there is one exception which I shall explain in a minute) and then you use Lightroom tools ... keywords and other metadata, to allow you to organize and search.
    Backups are accomplished by making a backup of both your catalog file and all of your photos.
    The exception to never moving your photos is when you need to move them to a new hard disk or new computer, then of course you should move them.

  • New HDD getting restart message after carbon copy cloner

    Hey folks,
    Been a while since I asked for help, but always glad you are here.
    My 160GB HDD was getting close to its limit and slowing down quite a bit, so I figured I'd upgrade to a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm HDD.
    Used CCC to do a complete clone. Did the Clone with 500GB drive in a FW enclosure. Took roughly 2 hours and then rebooted from the new clone while it was still in the enclosure. Everything worked fine.
    Installed new clone drive in macbook(I have done this before when I went from the original 60GB to 160GB drive and have all the correct tools)
    Try to startup with new drive installed and get the greyish mini screen with message to hold start button until it shuts down and press start button again. Tried 5 times with same results.
    Should I go ahead and re-clone or use my grey disks to run hardware test?
    MB1,1 2006, 2gigs ram 10.6.7
    Thanks for any and all help.
    Adam

    Okay. Ran hardware test. No problems found. Checked HDD connectors on both the MacBook and the new HDD. Look fine.
    Tried reseating the new HDD to no avail.
    Reinstalled old 160 GB HDD and MacBook is running fine as we speak.
    Going to try re-cloning. If that doesn't work will try reformatting and doing a fresh install and migration assistant.

    Anymore ideas before I go to far would be appreciated.

  • Moving Photos to a new folder in Lightroom 1.3.1 using Mac OS 10.5.1 Doesn't Work

    I use an iMac with OS 10.5.1 and Lightroom 1.3.1.
    First, I successfully imported the photos from my Epson P-2000 to a folder (Germany) which I created as part of the import into Lightroom (for File Handling in the Import dialog I used Copy Photos to a new location and Import).
    Next, I created a new folder (Berlin) using the Lightroom folder panel and dragged some photos from the Germany folder into the new Berlin subfolder. Although the photos appear in the Berlin subfolder, they are still also in the parent, Germany folder.
    Also, I would have thought that I could select photos and then use the Edit menu's Cut and Paste commands to move the photos. But even though I have selected images in the Grid view, these commands are grayed out.
    I don't want to copy the photos - I want to move them. And I did not think that the same photo could be in two different folders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you seeing this only in Lightroom? They are not 'still in the parent, Germany folder.' only visible their if you have 'Include Photos from Subitems' checked in the Menu/Library of Library.
    Uncheck that you you will only see them in their correct folders.

  • Moving photos to a new hard drive - PSE 5 vs. PSE 8

    I have PSE 5 and have filled my primary drive to capacity.  I've installed a new larger drive and intend to move my files to it.  Based on reviewing posts in this forum, I may leave the Catalog file on my primary drive.  I am also considering upgrading to PSE 8.  In reviewing the options of how to move files to the new drive, I had a thought - is there any advantage in upgrading to PSE 8 before I move the files to the new drive?  I am not sure PSE 5 has the same features as PSE 8 to facilitate the move, and I fear a mistake would be costly (in time) with over 30,000 files in the Catalog.  I also have slideshows and video creations that I want to be sure make a smooth, uneventful transition.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks.  I am not familiar with Folder Location View.  I just went there and am not certain how I would move source files from one drive to another using that feature. I see under Folder Location View how I would designate where files are saved (under Files, Folders for saved files).  If I direct this to the new drive, is it going to move all the files from my C drive to the new drive?  I'm not sure I would expect it to do that.  Your advice is appreciated.
