How do I import a book template in Lightroom 4?

I've exported a book I've created as a PDF. Now I would like to import that book template to a different Lr4 user...how do I go about that? I've tried exporting it as a catalog, that works except that's a pain in the butt to do just for a book - and also all my images go with it too! Not good! Help!

Maybe you're asking can you reuse a layout.. Here's a way:
Right click on the book and choose Duplicate.
Select the Duplicate book in Collections.
Go to Grid.
Select all, and delete from collection.
Go back to book and you'll have an empty book.

    how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
    When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
    It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
    I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
    If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
    Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
    I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
    Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

    how do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes?

    There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

  • How do I import address book from time machine backup

    My address book was populated on an imac running Lion and I used time machine to back up to an external hard drive.
    The imac crashed and I've purchased another one running  Mavericks.
    How do I import the contents of my address book from the backup on the external drive to the address book on the new imac?
    Whenever I try to select or open an earlier version of the address book in the backup applications folder on the external drive, I get a message saying that I can't open the file because it is a time machine backup.
    There is also a diagonal line going through the address book thumbnail icon and various other applications in the backup applications folder and I get the same error message informing that these apps are time machine backups.
    If you have a solution please be as clear and precise as possible with instructions as I am not a computer boffin.

    Here's the situation:
    I have a G4 with Tiger OS that has 2 years of saved emails and Address Book entries. I just got a G5, installed brand new drives, and did a fresh install of Leopard. I did not use Migration Assistant during the install, because I have no router.
    Then I connected the 2 'puters with firewire, and started the G4 in Target Mode, and attempted to Import my old mail and Address Book. I diddled around and was able to import my old mailboxes. I did just realize, though, that only about half the emails were imported; there's a huge gap of nearly a year up until I stopped using the G4.
    Also, when I go to the Address Book and try to import my old one, it shows up not as a solid icon that I can select, but a ghostly icon, for lack of a better word, and it will not let me select it.
    I really thought this should be easier and less painful. I'm open to suggestions, including whether I should try to use the Leopard install DVD to try the Migration Assistant with a Firewire connection or an ethernet cable.
    Thanks.

  • How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer

    I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
    thanks for any help

    The neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
    Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
    So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
    On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
    Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
    On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
    Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
    If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s).

  • How can I import address book contacts from 10.2 to 10.6?

    I have an uncle who recently had a computer with 10.2 that crashed.  I recovered all his files.  His new computer is now at 10.5 or 6, and will not import old contacts from 10.2.  Anyone know how I can import them?

    Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
    If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

  • How do I import Word 2007 Template (.dotx) into Pages '09?

    How do I import a Word 2007 template? Is there a one step solution, or do I just need to open the template file and re-save it as a Pages template?

    fruhalda,
    What is the problem with opening your Word template in Pages and then save it as a Pages template. It is as direct as can be in my view. Remember it is two different applications here.
    None, really, just ignorance on my part. It's the first version of iWork that I buy--and my first iMac, too--and I was expecting "Word-like" behavior, which I shouldn't. The applications target a different market segment--after using Word for 15 years Pages is a welcome improvement in usability for everyday documents. We'll see how it holds its ground to larger documents.
    I'm glad that, paraphrasing Einstein, I think, it is "as compatible to Word as possible," but no more than only the necessary to import documents.
    I may be getting Office 2008 to work around these incompatibilities while I get used to iWork--and there are some features that are simply not there. At least in the trial version I could verify that they have preserved the Windows shortcuts, which has allowed me to move on faster.
    Kind regards,
    --Javier

  • How does one import an html template into Adobe Muse?

    I have downloaded several templates advertised as Muse templates but they all appear to be html5 templates. Can one import them into Adobe Muse?

    You can't import an HTML template. You need the original .muse file. If they are Muse templates you would have gotten them as a .muse file.

    Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • How do I import images from Aperture into Lightroom 5?

    I've just installed Lightroom 5 onto my Mac.  I waited for it to ask me which image management software I wanted to use as default (I currently use Aperture); then I went looking to find the 'source' to enable me to import images.  It doesn't recognise Aperture or the 3000+ images held in its folders.
    How can I import the images?

    Have you tried some of the online articles?

  • How do I import Address Book data from an old Mac to a new one?

    I just bought a MacBook using OS 10.5.1. How can I transfer the address card data from my old eMac using system 10.3.9? The two machines are currently connected with a Firewire cable, and my laptop is reading the eMac's hard drive.

    It's actually very simple. In your old AB under the file menu click "Export Address Book Archive to your desktop. Then using the new system log in to the old via network and move the file from the old to the new.
    Then open the new AB and click import AB archive"
    You're done

  • How do i import Address Book

    I am using Snow Leopard with a new iMac, and want to import the Address Book in my G4 Sawtooth running Tiger. How do get the content of the old address book to the new address book?
    Thanks.
    Robert

    Try this:
    Open Address Book on Tiger SawtoothG4. Highlight/select a group one at a time. For each group, highlight/select all cards within that group. Drag to your Sawtooth's desktop. You will get one "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alice Adams and 43 others.vcf". Rename that file to "GroupName.vcf" (where "GroupName" is replaced by your actual group's name). Repeat for remaining groups. Transfer them all to a USB mem stick, or if the Sawtooth's USB is burnt up, too, email them to yourself. On the new iMac, put the mega-vcf's on the iMac Desktop. Open Address Book. Manually create your groups in Address Book. Drag and drop each "GroupName.vcf" file one-by-one into their appropriate group in Address Book. Done.

  • How to create a Pages book template (w T.Box, table) for continuous text ?

    I am new to Mac and have a body of Book text (200 pages) in MS Word done on a PC which I want to transfer to Pages for publishable quality.
    My problem is that I want to be able to include images and drawings into the existing text and keep a column along the right of the template for quotes and paragraph headings.
    I seemed to get this sorted some time ago at an Apple 1-1 tutorial at Bluewater which gave me a preliminary idea of how to do this ( thought I had cracked it!) using Format Advanced and Section Master Objects. However, in the doing of it, I have been unable to make it happen. I sense it's possible and just out of reach...!! Can Dennis or any others help me get this sorted please? Thanks
