How to designate path to the correct Preview folder within Lightroom

If I was asked what is the best and most inthuitive progra for photography : I would say Lightroom.
If I was asked wich is the most dangerous, unnatural and complicated software for a photographer : I'd definitaly say Lightroom !
In the catalogs preferences there is a buton to show where your catalog resides.
Now, where can I go into Lightroom's menu and make it show where resides its preview's folder, and SmartPreviews's folder,
SO AS TO BE ABLE (HOW?) to direct it to an other location(other folder) ?

Thank You for all inputs /answers.
It's really nice to have such fast answers at all, and/but i have appreciated.
I realize that my questions where not implicating the reasons of my asking.
I had trouble after having
A) renamed the catalog (and by doing so introduced a misspelling in the totally-correctly renaming of the Smart preview and preview folders
and
having also strait away copied the whole "thing" from an external external HD back to my internal ssd hd
without having first checked if every thing worked
So i kind of panict and meanwhile LR had started building anew the Smart preview and preview folders (or one of them) without telling etc so i kind of got nervous..
Now everything is fixed.
Still find though that there is room to improve lightroom's management...
(wizards for all kind of procedures that a "genius-photographer might want to do.. ;-) )
Please let's not forget to remind ADOBE that they should never assume that we "by the time" all know everything by virtue of being used to it... when they further developp LR.
(elegance but transparency)
( i'm using LR almost daily since LR 1. ... )
Now i'm going to start a new thread for a question relating to how to create smart collection to automatically group/find (lost) print layouts (that had photos associated to it)
(I use LR in french so I mishandle the appropriate english terminology..)
Thanks again.

TS3988 My iCloud account is not my apple id account. How do I switch to the correct account?

My Icloud is not backing up any of my devices. The icloud states a mac Apple ID and I have a gmail ID. How do I switch to the correct ID?

In the General Settings, under Store, click the account and sign out and sign in. Enter the new ID.

How do I access the iCloud Preview folder from my iPhone?

Just a simple how to question. PDF files are what I want to be able to view, since my Mac insists on defaulting to the iCloud Preview folder, I assume there must be a corresponding way to read them on iDevices...

Yea, a number of people have wondered why there isn't a general iCloud Drive app that would allow you to see all the documents and launch a compatible app on your device to view them. Perhaps that will be added in the future. If you would like to see this changed, you can let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.0.1.12. I have been all through the threads and internet..how do I delete songs from my iTunes and hard drive at the same time? I have my music in the correct iTunes folder. Nothing works.

Windows 7 64 bit
iTunes 11.0.1.12
I have my music in the correct iTunes folder
In iTunes, I select songs, click "delete", then "move to recycle bin", finally, empty my recycle bin that shows the file is there
File is still on my hard drive.
I just want to be able to delete files out of my library and off of my hard drive at the same time. I have tried everything I have read, and there really seems to be no real answer. Somebody please help!

i do, but like i said it fell once and since then it hasn't been able to connect to my laptop. it acts like nothing's connected. i believe if i call the company the HDD is from they'll be able to transfer it to a new one but who knows how much they'd charge. looks like i have no choice now.
If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

All the message dates in the message list changed in every mailbox to a recent date, I don't know why.. The dates within the messages' headlines themselves remained correct. How do I re-establish the correct dates also in the mailboxes' message list?

First thing is to forget all the complex configs and just try to schedule the report to run once now, no alerts, no notifications, no nothing.
Does that work?
Then you can build up the schedule, to see where the problem is coming from.

How can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture?

how can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture? I can find the link to the original event folder, but is there a way to get right to the picture without having to search visually the event folder?

Depends on whatr you mean
Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them
for more on PS see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I just opened my new ipad2-32GB. It is connected to my macbook pro and itunes is opened. But it is stuck on a screen for language choices. How do i get to the correct screen to begin using it?

yes, thanks. I needed to reset using the power button and home button and hold for longer than i thought. After some serious worry (I'm an electronic illiterate!) I do have everything working and synced with my laptop and phone.
I am glad to have discovered the "support community" site

Leave feedback for Apple at www.apple.com/feedback, or contact your email provider. It's the email providers that give that info to Apple, so both parties need to be updated.

After I installed ios7, I entered the wrong Apple ID. How do I replace with the correct ID?

After I installed ios7, I entered the wrong Apple ID. How do I replace with the correct ID?

OK, so all you need to do is:
Go into Settings>iTunes, tap on the Apple ID and then tap on Sign Out. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID.
Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap on Delete Account (it will ask you for a password). Try typing in the password that you think goes with that Apple ID. If that doesn't work, try your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, go into Manange your Apple ID and sign on with the old Apple ID and reset the password: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Once you have deleted the old iCloud account, you can then go to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current Apple ID.
Cheers,

Can the path to the iTunes Music folder be locked?

I'm trying to simplify the results of my own occasional user error.
Can the path to the iTunes Music folder be locked?
I have my library stored on an external drive that I keep turned off when not in use. If I accidentally start iTunes with that drive off, it recreates the original iTunes Music folder and directs itself there.
Can that behavior be stopped? It seems like there should be a way for iTunes to send a pop up or something, rather than this automated over ride to manual settings.

Yeah, I know I don't have an end of the world scenario here.
But just remounting the drive doesn't do it. I have to go back into iTunes and reset the folder location. Then wait several minutes as it all reorganizes itself.
I know just leaving the drive on is the easiest answer. It causes too much of a domestic dispute about all the blinking boxes I have running all the time. I have convinced her that the green one on the AEBS has to be on if she wants internet.

After installing Firefox 4 Beta I am no longer able to open my Firefox 3. Even when I double click the firefox.exe in the correct progam folder it continues to open Firefox 4 Beta instead of 3.

Opening from the Programs list doesn't work, from the windows search bar doesn't work, and directly opening the Firefox.exe in the correct program folder doesn't work either.
I only got it to open once: upon first installing Firefox 4 Beta I asked it to pin it to the Windows 7 taskbar (it did not). My Firefox 3 program was still pinned to the taskbar however. So through that button I was able to open Firefox 3. But since then I have unpinned Firefox 3 and have pinned the Firefox 4 Beta to the taskbar instead. Now I can't get it to point back to Firefox 3.

what a pain! However, the solution is to simply install the Add-On "Autofill Forms". I'm not certain why Mozilla didn't automatically install the add-on as most of us rely on this feature. It's definitely not a good enough reason to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version and this version has some neat features

The new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 should display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.

To begin with, in file-explorer (.\system32\explorer.exe) normally, the new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 does indeed display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.
But when one re-parents the explorer window handle to any window handle other than 0000 (desktop's window handle), then the UIRibbon fails to do so.
You might ask 'Who does that ?' and I would say no-one usually, however I use BrightExplorer which
is a great little app that gives me a tabbed file-explorer experience.
Now, this app works fine since Windows 7, but with Windows 8 the file explorer introduced the new UIRibbon in its UI. It's that new UIRibbon that gets confused by what I think may be be caused by the re-parenting that BrightExplorer does
to pull a file explorer session into its tabbed control.
This phenomenon relates to Windows 8 + and is observed only by doing the following steps:
Download BrightExplorer from BrightNewWorlds.com by going here: BrightExplorer,
In the address bar go to This PC,
then go to any other folder and note that the UIRibbon is not keeping track of the changing folder selections.
Does anyone out there feel that they can do something about this, or have advise?
Kind regards,
Robert van der Meijden
