How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved). I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.
Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits. So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster.

Hello ... and thanks for your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems. And I am sure it is "operator error"
I used your method #1. The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog. This took about 20 minutes.
Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive.
There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName. The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc.
I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.
So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing. But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found.
Any ideas?
I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.
Thanks

How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
What am I missing? Thanks.

To copy single settings.
1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
To copy settings groups (folders)
1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
5. Open Compressor
Hope this helps

How do you move adobe acrobat XI pro from one computer to another?

how do you move adobe acrobat XI standard pro from one computer to another?

Hi jeszamom,
You'll need either the installation media (if you bought from a retailer), or a downloaded installer. If you don't have the CD, you can download Acrobat from this links in this document: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe.
It's OK to keep it on the other computer; your license allows you to install it on up to two computers. But, if you'd like you can deactivate it on that old computer, which would free up that activation for use on yet another computer. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe
You'll need your serial number to activate on the new computer.
Please let us know how it goes.

How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another

How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another?

Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.
Click import and grab a coffee

how do i move page and numbers documents from one icloud login to another?
I had to change my email address whcih meant new apple login.
I have a number of docs in iwork/pages and iwork/numbers. How do I transfer them to my new login?

There's a couple of ways but my tip backing up your documents in the cloud is as good as any.

How do I move or copy a page from one pages doc to another?

I used to frequently move or copy a page from one multiple-page Pages document to another just but dragging and dropping the thumbnail. Since I upgraded I can't do this anymore. How can I do it now?

It never worked that way in Pages '09. You have to copy and paste the Thumbnails.
That no longer works in Pages 5. Sounds like you are not copying and pasting content because that certainly works. Read what VikingOS wrote and do precisely what he said.

How can I move my iTunes media folder from users/shared back to one user account?

I shared my music with multiple users on one macbook pro.
Like on the Apple support discussions described I changed the iTunes media folder to users/shared. My question is how to reverse that action? Once I reset the media folder location it tells me /users/name/music/itunes/itunes media, that would be right but the files remain in users/shared?

Tell us what the underlying objective is in all this. You came here asking how to move a media folder but now we're getting into user libraries and moving things back and forth to their original locations. Why move it in the first place if you are just putting it back? Maybe you don't need to move things.
Read these to learn more about how iTunes works. If you move the wrong things you can end up breaking links. This goes double for moving things to other drives.

It is almost certain that nothing you are doing will require removing the iTunes application itself. Asking that tells me you are doing something relatively complicated with insufficient background -- kind of like somebody asking me how to use a power saw. I can tell them, but when it sounds like their project is painting a room one begins to wonder if they are going about things correctly. That said, organizing/consolidating copies files. Open iTunes, get info on a track, look at summary and see where the file is now located iTunes uses to play the track. It should be in the moved location and it is okay to delete the others.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

How do I move control of my ATV from one Mac to another in the same house?

I have two iMacs in the office. I have ATV2 on my flat screen TV. I want to move control of ATV from one iMac running Snow Leopard to to the other running Lion, because of more and better content. Not sure how to accomplish this. Thanks for any help you can lend.

Ok I understand that but my ATV only appears in the left control column of one iMac and not the other. Not the one I want to control it with.

How do I move a contact or contacts from one group to another group?

How do I move contacts from one group to another group on my iPhone?

Hi ,
In exchange you cannot have the same email address for multiple recipients .
First and Best way is to remove the email address from the old user account and add the same smtp address to the new user who is going to take his place.
Second option would be forwarding all the emails from old user account to new user account when an email was triggered to the email address ([email protected]) .on this case there is no need to remove or delete the email address from the old user account
and also email address ([email protected]) will still reside on the old user account .
If i am at your place i will choose the first option and i agree with DJ

Move a single Public Folder from one server to another cross-domain

Hi, I need to move specific Public Folders from a database on Exch2007 to a database on Exch2010. These are 2 separate domains and are already set up with their respective Public folder databases. I have a customer requirement to move from one domain to
the other. All mailboxes are moved, I just need to move their Public Folders. What is the easiest way to carry out this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can take PST of public folder from source forest and import PST on target forest from Outlook client.
Then you can use ExFolders to export and import PF permissions.
Best regards,

How do I move a proxy/alias address from one user to another?

We have a user that is leaving the company, we'll call her Clerk. She has her normal email address ([email protected]), but she also uses a proxy address or alias ([email protected]). The new user taking her place will have the same setup, her normal
first intial, last name email account, but I also need her to use the [email protected] proxy address. When I try to move it from one user to the other, it says that it is already being used by the original user.
Is there a way to move the alias to the new user without deleting the old user's account, which the new user will still need to access from time to time?

How do you create multiple events (different dates) from one large event?

I recently downloaded a large number of photos from my iphone to iphoto. All of the photos are now under event 4/9/2011 (the date and times are correct, just all in one event). How do I change/break up photos and add/change event dates? I don't want to scroll up hundreds (half a year) of photos to see photos I took yesterday.

Select the Event and go Events -> Autosplit
