Are LR 5.3 catalogs and files transferred to LR CC?
I have LR 5.3 installed. I have just subscxribed to the CC. Should I download the LR CC? And if I do will it clash with the installed LR 5.3? Will the LR 5.3 catalogs, preferences, and settings be preserved in LR CC?
Thank you

In my case, the answer was "yes" - it preserved everything. When you install any version of LR5, if there is a previous version then the new one takes over the settings, catalog, presets, preferences etc - but replaces the software itself. The CC installer also sets the licence to the CC licence.
Lightroom CC v 5.3 is, I think, exactly the same as the perpetual-licence Lightroom 5.3. The only difference I could see is that when I go to Help menu, Lightroom Registration, Licence - I see a different licence number to the one for my perpetual-licence version.

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

Problem with Jabber and file transfers WAN - LAN-Users - a solution!
Hi,
I read a lot of messages about problems with file transfers between iChat-Users, if one (or both) are behind a NAT.
I had this problem to and found an easy solution:
My situation
iChat-Server behind a Netgear ProSafe FireWall. I opened the needed Ports including Port 7777 (the Port for the iChat-proxy (proxy65).
The iChat-Server is configured to host the domain "server.ourdomain.com" (as an example).
This address can be reached from the LAN and also from the WAN-side.
From the LAN-side the DNS redirects to 192.168.1.1, from the WAN this domain redirects to our official IP-address (the WAN-IP of the FireWall).
I tried nearly all kinds of mentioned solutions, but nothing helped.
The really easy solution is: I just added our official IP to the "Hosted Domains" in the iChat-section of Server-Admin.
After that change, the transfers are made via the proxy65 of iChat-Server. The transfers are shown in the log /private/var/jabberd/log/proxy65.log.
I think, that the other posters who also have this kind of problem are working in a similar setup (domain name of server is used from the LAN AND the WAN-side with different IP-addresses (LAN-IP & WAN-IP).
This solution will only work, if the WAN-IP is a fixed address.

When I try to connect the files to the catalog on the Mac, many (~9000 out of ~12000) files show as can not reconnect. Elements finds "similar" files (actually the files I want) but says they are not the same file. I noticed that many of them have the time parameter different in the file compared to the catalog. If I go ahead and say reconnect anyway, I get another error indicating the the data has been changed by two different sources. If offers the choice of overwriting the file data with info from the catalog (which loses the EXIF data in the file) or says leave the file alone (which loses the keyword metadata from the catalog). Is there any way to get Elements to connect all of these files while retaining all of the EXIF and the keyword metadata without having to re-edit or re-import each of these files? My ultimate aim is to then move all of these photos into the current version of Lightroom on the Mac.
You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.

Battery replacement and file transfers
When you're copying your files from your Ipod onto your computer, i understand that you have to open it as a portable media device and then copy each folder onto the computer. But when you look at the folders, they contain the songs in a random order. Is there anyway to organize them without doing it manually? And is there a service that will back up my files for me so that i can keep all my playlists? And is there an easier way to do this?
thanksChiller,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

ITunes / iPod locking up when during music and file transfers!
I'm having this problem with all 3 iPods in my household, but all on the same machine (20" iMac G5).
Quite often, when hooking up my iPod to transfer songs, or graphics files the whole thing just locks up. My "do not disconnect" screen freezes, and in iTunes I just get the spinning ball FOREVER. iTunes WILL NOT force quit, nor will it eject my iPod. Most of the time I have to force my computer to shut down because it will not do anything else.
I have no idea if it is my machine, or the iPods, or iTunes. I've checked and repaired permissions, and I've also run Tech Tool Pro. Nothing seems to resolve this issue.
Please... can anyone help?I have a smiliar problem. Sometimes my iPod just gets "stuck" on the upload of certain songs (always different songs). It will just stay uploading the same song forever! so I have to unplug my iPod (even though it says "do not disconnect") and force quit iTunes. A few times I have had to force a shut down of my computer and twice when I did that all of my Favorite on FireFox dissapeared, my desktop was the default blue, my tool bar was defalut and my iTunes library was missing! I got all the songs back, but had to spend HOURS re-doing all of the playlists and then re-uploading everthiing to my iPod.
I avoided this the latest time by only uploading one playlist at a time, but it was very time consuming and still got "stuck" twice!
Any suggestions?? I have the extended protection plan on my computer and ipod... -
Wireless tethered shooting and file transfers
Does Lightroom support tethered shooting via the many wireless adaptors such as the Nikon wu-1b? Also can it pull files from the camera through the wireless adaptor? Side question do any of the Adobe mobile apps support tethered shooting? The native Nikon app is severely lacking... Camranger look compeling but that router attachement is a handful.
"Can I be able to transfer digital photos, art files, data,etc. among 4 Macs 1 Dell computers wirelessly via airport connection?"
Yes.
"Also, is it in the Airport software where I enable security settings for multiple computers so no outsiders can log into my airport?"
Yes, you will need to use either the AirPort Utility or the older AirPort Admin Utility / AirPort Setup Assistant, to set up wireless encryption on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). -
Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import
For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported. Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images. When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk. I can edit the image in the Develop module. So, it seems good, but all is not well. Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
Finder contents of the original images
LR folder hierarchy
an image as seen in LR
Finder content of external LR copy of images
import showing 10 "new" photos
The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
The LR folder hierarchy ...
An image as seen in LR ...
The external folder containing the images in the LR library
But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below. IS THIS AN LR BUG? This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR. (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.) Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords. However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme. (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2. I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac. To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them. Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways. I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name. There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date). I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive. Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner. I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported. This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything. But actually things are much worse than I thought.. I have these counts of images:
80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
Clearly things are badly out of sync. I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated. Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new. I have over 200 folders in LR. I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images. This will be painful. And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help!
KenThanks for being on the case, dj! As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT! But I am confused.
1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
YES. Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
This is my understanding too.
3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
NO, I CAN'T! The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder. That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different. Here is the Finder Get Info for both files. Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:
CreateDate DateTimeDigitized DateTimeOriginal FileModifyDate ModifyDate
ORIGINAL name: P5110178.JPG 2001:05:11 15:27:18 2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00 2001:01:17 11:29:00 2011:01:17 11:29:00-07:00 2005:04:24 14:41:05
After LR rename: KRJ_0002_010511_P5110178.JPG 2001:05:11 15:27:18 2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00 2001:05:11 15:27:18 2011:01:17 11:29:02-07:00 2005:04:24 14:41:05
So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates. Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different. The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT. Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
SO ....
The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?). The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB). There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data. I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
I don't understand how these differences arose. I did not touch the original file outside LR. LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import. (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
NOW ...
I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so). The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT? Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has? Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
Thanks so very much, dj. Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful. -
Transfering Photoshop Elements 11 Calaglo and files to new PC
I'm need to tranfer my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 catalog and photo files to a new computer. I've done the full backup of the catalog and photo files. However, the restore process to the new computer apparently renames the photo file when you do the restore. I would like to maintain the original file names. How do migrate the catalog and files to a new pc while maintaning the folder structure and the original file names?
To retain original folder structure, while restoring select the option which saying 'Original location' under 'Restore Files and catalog to' section. However I am not sure how the images got renamed. I am not aware of any scenario in which images gets renamed. Could you please confirm that the images are actually shown renamed in a catalog (they may be shown renamed in the backup that you took but once you restore them, images will have the original name)?

I was trying to help a friend with this exact same problem, and i noticed that if i right-clicked in the area where the search bar and "File/Tools" menu was, it gave me a little checkbox menu, and it let me enable or disable different things in that area. I accidentally deleted the searchbar, and upon further right-clicking, i mis-clicked and deleted the rest. Currently I only have Tabs and the "Most Visited/Getting Started" toolbar. I am really at a loss curently because I am in High school, and the Laptop i am currently posting this from is my only computer. I need to continue using this laptop for research in my classes, though my teacher usually gives us specific URLs. Withoout a search bar, well.... you see the problem. I have uninstalled IE in a >futile< attempt at freeing up harddrive space. Please! I really need help as soon as physically possible!
In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Help: I have a very well defined folder structure. Folder are located in a Master location and organized by State. Inside of these are my master RAW file folders organized by location. For example: West Virginia > BIRI_RAW_2012, BLFA_RAW_2013, NERI_RAW_2013, etc. After I set up the masterful following a shoot, I go to LR and import the images. At one time I inadvertently imported the NERI_RAW_2013 masterful set as a subset of something else and it was not appearing in my LR Module in the organization I prefer. So I went to my master folders on my drive and moved the NERI file into the West Virginia state folder. When I went back to LR, as expected the NERI folder was grey with a question mark. So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared. The RAW files are still in the catalog and show up in a missing photos search. I can't reimport because they are already there. I just need to restore my folder structure and get the images back to the right spot.
So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared.
It didn't disappear, it moved (because you told Lightroom to move it). It moved from the incorrect folder location, to the new folder location. Please look in the new folder, in whatever location it is in, not in the old folder and the old location, and you will find the photos. -
Problems with encoding and files
Hi friends pls some help my problems is the following
I have a ftp server running on linux and in my program I download files from the ftp server using class specified below.When I download the file content not all content is coming ok. For example I have a string with
Ra�l����1234%#=?[a_@ and when I read content using my methods this part is retirved ok Ra and this one is retrived wrong �����
whith characteres very stranges.
I suppose that the problem is with the encoding, then all day I tried some settings in the class new InputStreamReader.First the encoding UTF-8 because I have created the file using this encoding. Something like this:
in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"UTF-8");
but does not work
After I realized that I use the statement localFtp.ascii();
declaring that the content will be downloaded in ascii encoding so
I made this change :
in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"US-ASCII");
but still does not work

Quickest way of Moving Folder and Files
I am in the process of moving a lot of folders to another drive and it is taking a lot of time. I am doing the move in LR Library now and one alternative is to move outside of LR and use the Add Catalog import option (don't know if this is any faster).
Can you select multiple folders in LR Library to move to the same location or do you need to do one at a time? This would be onen benefit of doing it outside of LR.
Any thoughts?yyy2moose writes:
finding the correct catalog will be a little tricky but I am sure I can find it
Then later, the same yyy2moose writes:
FYI - One Catalog - I have always worked with one catalog.
Mark me down as confused. These statements seem contradictory.
I will have to do some reading on "Find Folder" as your are saying that is all I need after I find the catalog. It must do more than I was thinking...
Yes, you could do some reading on this, or you could just go back to Dorin's post earlier in this thread, I believe that's all the reading you need.
There were only two reasons that I am doing the moves at this time.
A. Migrating to LR 2.x to LR 3... I did a lot of work under LR3 Beta and it did not seem to pull all these folders into LR3 when I did the install. I could not find the option to upgrade from the bata version or it probably would have taken care of this for me (too bad) B. Consolidating the file location to an external HD.
I am aware that there have been some reported problems in converting LR3Beta catalogs to LR3. The upgrade option is simply to open the catalog. File->Open Catalog, and point to the LR3Beta catalog.
You seem to be quite confused on catalogs and files and how they interact. Moving photos is not the same things as moving/upgrading catalogs. I am going to suggest that you not do any more PHOTO moves until you straighten out all your catalog issues. Find the catalogs, combine them into one with File->Import from Catalog, make sure everything is properly linked inside the catalog. Then, and only then, go to the next step of consolidating photos on the external HD. I strongly recommend you read The Lightroom Starter Kit and Ten Things I Wish I Could Tell Every New Lightroom User, paying particular attention to the parts that describe the Lightroom Library Module. -
I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer. I have a question mark in the place of the icon. My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto. Thank you
Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
