Can I "redesignate" the location of my images in Lightroom?

Using LR over the years I have ended up with a rather clumsy storage scheme. I have been primarily storing my images on a NAS and importing them into LR as wanted (referencing them at their current location on the NAS). I now have many images imported into LR but still located on the NAS.
My NAS images are secondarily backed up to an external hard drive that connects via USB 3.0 to my desktop computer. It is an exact sync between the NAS and the USB drive, so at all times their content is identical.
It is now clear to me that I should be primarily storing on the USB drive and secondarily backing up to the NAS because accessing the USB drive through LR is much, much faster than accessing the NAS.
Because the file structures and content for image storage are identical on the USB drive and the NAS, can I somehow redirect LR to the USB drive as the primary location of my images without destroying all the links in my catalog file?
Thanks for your help.

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2?

    How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2? The app comes up with a search, but that seems to be the only way to find it. I just installed the app today, but I can't figure out where it is. It has a pretty distinctive icon, and I've looked through all of my apps and even in folders (even though I don't know how it would have gotten there). I want to put it in an appropriate folder under the right subject, but I can't find it to do this. I can use the app, since I can find it through a search though. I have a lot of apps, but I looked very carefully and can't find it. Is there a way to ask my iPad to locate it for me? It's a $25 app and one I plan to use regularly, so I want it located in the folder of my choice.This problem makes we wonder if I have other "missing" apps, apps that I could  find if I happened to think to search for them, but that don't appear to be on my iPad (even though they actually  are).

    You were right about the homescreens. I had turned my iPad off for the night with less than three full homescreens of loose apps, those not in folders. When I turned the iPad on this morning to try your suggestions, I had five full pages of loose apps. They just appeared when I restarted, and there was the app I was looking for, easy to find. Last night I was deleting apps I decided I wouldn't use, organizing useful apps into folders, and making sure I had as few pages as needed by making sure the gaps made by the moved/deleted apps were closed. The missing apps didn't show up at that point; I was just left with fewer than 11 pages. The apps only showed up when I restarted this morning. There were almost three extra pages of apps that weren't there last night. I know there must be other things missing, since all of the pages are full. So I tried your suggestion in iTunes. I connected my iPad, found an app in the alphabetical list on the left, and double clicked it. This brought me to the app's homescreen (and its home folder when applicable), the place where it was located. In order to identify which page that was, I had to scroll through the screen shots of the homescreens that was below the homescreen that was showing until I found the homescreen whose number was in white. Then I could count the pages on my iPad until I got to that page. I'll have to delete more apps and organize more into folders to see what else might show up. There are just too many apps available for special education, and I'm in the process of figuring out which are the best for my needs. Thanks so much!

  • How can we get the location from location area code?

    Hi All,
    i have an application which successfully runs on Motorola L6 and it gives me the cell-id, Location area code, and Mobile Network Code, and Mobile Country Code. Now I want to know how can I get the location ( I mean the name of the location) through location area code.

  • How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

    How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
    I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
    As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
    Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
    Thanks
    Tom

    In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

  • How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature?

    How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature? I've been using the signature feature for a while now and it works great and I'd like to use it on another computer. However, I forgot where I stored the signature. Adobe finds it with no problems (the signature pops up when I click "Place Signature"), but I have no idea where it is.

    It's here - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security\

  • Where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual admin

    hello:
       where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual administrator?
    thanks!!

    Hi,
    When the SAP LOGON ticket Expired or if we need to update the dates, it is generally done at the Visual Administration Level. SAP Logon Ticket is represented as cookie in the Browser which will help us for SSO.
    In Visual Admin under keystore admin where our Old Portal certificate exists.
    We will need to delete the old portal certificate, then we need to generate new ceritificate and a pop box will appear.. where we need to provide our System details like SID, Client. After these details are given we can get a new certificate in which validity period dates are automatically generated. And also we can import teh same into Portal at Sys Admin->sys config->key store admin for it to be available as .PSE or .DER file for SSO.

  • How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.

    How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.
    Also if i cant locate them can i at least remotely delete the libraries, and lock them so they are unusable to the thiefs, and i had a sony laptop worth £2000 stolen which I had used my apple account for a year is there anyway i can track that or retrieve the contents and delete them?
    Please if anybody knows reply or contact me!!!! =-)
    many thanks

    You or Apple can do nothing to prevent use of the devices.
    For the iPod touch if you turned on the FindMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected yu may be ablt ot locate it and wipe it by going to iCloud, signing in and going to FindMyiPhone. However, if the iPOd is rectored that feature is deleted.
    Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Can I include the file names of images in the image itself?

    *How can I get the file names of images on each image (without entering them by hand)?*
    (I am bring 250 images into a Keynote document, with each image on its own slide. I want to have the file names of the images shown on each slide or image. This doesn't need to look nice.)
    (If I can't do this in Aperture, I also have Photoshop Elements. Is there a way to do that in Elements?)

    You can't do this directly via Ap3. There are plug in's i believe that make it possible. Maybe someone knows more? Allan

  • How can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

    how can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

    You're talking about two different things:
    "Saturation" means the amount of colour, so you would use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to lower the saturation to make the image (or layer) appear more "black and white".
    "Transparency" is set by reducing the value of the "Opacity" in the Layers panel.  If that Opacity adjustment isn't available for the layer you want to make more transparent, first double-click on the layer to change it from a "Background" layer to a regular layer.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
