Difficulty Linking Photos moved to new EHD to LR

I am having difficulty locating files in Lightroom 3.2. I just moved my files to a larger new EHD, so LR3 no longer finds them in the usual place on my old EHD, and I get the usual question mark on my images asking me to locate them.
The problem I am having is the files on the EHD are in multiple folders and sub folders. All my photos are in collections in LR and these photos are located in different folders/subfolders. When I go to a photo in a collection in LR, click on the question mark and locate the appropriate folder/subfolder on my new EHD, and I do have find nearby missing photos checked, it only locates that one photo or the couple of nearby photos in that folder/subfolder. Going through all the collections and photos and selecting the correct folders/subfolders is a tedious task at best.
Is there any way to locate all of them more easily? I tried checking “all photographs” under Catalog, but that didn’t work either. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

As far as I can tell in Lightroom you can only move 1 folder at a
time so with hundreds of folders......well.
Or can anyone give a solution?
Point to the top level folder and move that ... all subfolders will move with it.
If the top level folder doesn't appear in your Lightroom Folder Panel, right-click on any folder and select "Show Parent Folder".

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.

PSE-8 Moving to New Computer But Keeping Photos on Ext. Drive

I'm a little stumped on what to do. I'm changing to a new computer. All of my photos are on an external drive. I would like to keep them on that drive. From everything I see, I have to do a full backup and move all of the photos to a new drive then do a restore. I just want to move (load) the actual program, leave the photos on the original drive (which I backup daily) and still have all of my tags. Is that possible? How? Thanks....

The backup/restore method is generaly the simplest (though not the fastest) way of moving your catalog and photos to a new computer:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
In your case, you could move your catalog folder to the external drive using File > Catalog > Move. Then you could plug the drive into the new computer, start PSE, and do File > Catalog > Open and navigate to the catalog folder on the external drive. If everything appears to open properly, then do File > Reconnect > All Missing to ensure that PSE is finding all your cataloged folders.

Photo files moved to new hard drive, need to re-connect photo tagging

Moved back catalog of photos from an almost full internal hard drive to a new larger external hard drive.
Elements Organizer is now unable to locate tagged photos on the new hard drive
Is it possible to re-connect the photo tagging ?

If you can go back and do a PSE backup/restore that would be your best and easiest approach.

I open facebook or other site. right click link/photo to open in new tab quickly. Then all tab connection will be connection to website, all page stop loading. Have to close firefox and reopen then only site will load.

Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I took some photos with my new 4s. Then, when I connected Iphone on PC asked if I wanted to start as a new phone or old. I choose my old account. I would like to know if there is any, any chance that I can recover the photos took before sync back.

I did not use ICloud or any storage and did not make any sync before.
Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.

Your photos are gone. They were wiped when you restored your phone. There is no "trash can".
You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly. Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide. I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

Dreamweaver 8 - not updating links when moving files

I am still having problems getting Dreamweaver 8 to work the
same way as my Dreamweaver MX2004. When I use the file panel in
Dreamweaver 8 to change the name of a file it does not update my
links throughout out site. I have gone to EDIT > PREFERENCE and
made sure that update links when moving files and the Prompt box is
checked.
I have also tried Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache
but it's not working.
Can anyone please help. Thank you.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,

My iphone is registered to my old macbook. How do I link it to my new computer? I can't add any new music to it.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

What is the best way to migrate photo library to new Mac ?

Hi .... I just bought off ebay an Mac Mini 2.53Mhz running Mountain Lion . This was a great and cost effective purchase to upgrade my very tired Mac Mini 1.6 duo running Snow Leopard (still going as a second computer) .
However , I am not sure best way to transfer over my photos ?
I have a Time Capsule and I can use migration assistant
- but when doing this and choosing just photos nothing else , the process creates a new user and is a real mess on the desktop. Thus I am left with two users on the computer : and I can't access the photos from the 2.53 Mac mini user that I created for the computer , I have to log in to this restored profile. Annoying !
- I believe migration assistant linking the two macs through an ethernet cabe will give the same results
I have now purchased a firewire cable 400 to 800 , so the two macs are now linked . Would this be a cleaner way to transfer photos ? How should I set about it. I don't want to drag over any mess from the old computer ... I just want to get the photos onto the new computer and then link that to time capsule.
Thanks

Hey there cosmiconion,
It sounds like you are needing to copy over a folder containing images from your Snow Leopard computer to your newer Mountain Lion machine. You can do this by enabling File Sharing for that folder or directory, then accessing that from Finder on your newer computer, and this article will help you do that:
