How to Move Catalog to New Drive?

I have an 8,000 file, PSE 10 catalog on my current Windows 7 PC. The vast majority of the files are in
C:\Projects
C:\Photos
C:\Users\Will\My Pictures
and sub-folders within.
My new Windows 8.1 PC has a modest SSD for the boot drive, so data is stored on D:. I want to move my catalog in such a way that the files end up in exactly the same place, but on the D: drive instead.
To be clear, I want the file
C:\Photos\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos\2011 03 21\DSC_5337.JPG
to end up in
D:\Photos\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos\2011 03 21\DSC_5337.JPG
I backed up the catalog from the old PC and tried to restore by specifying D: as the new location. The result was that the file above ended up at
D:\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos\2011 03 21\DSC_5337.JPG
In other words, everything migrated to the root. (It was quite a mess, actually.)
Is there a way to restore a catalog in the manner I require?
Thanks.
Will

I understand that I can use Folders view as you describe. But I see that I may not have explained the severity of the restore problem I had.
Every single folder in \Photos ended up in the root and \Photos itself was not present. I ended up with hundreds of folders in the root of D:.
Theoretically, if it had been possible to create three backup images, one each for Photos, Projects, and My Documents, then specifying D:\Photos (etc.) as my new target would have worked. My situation is that I have three different sources of files and I can't see a way to tell the restore process to put the files in exactly the same places except using a different drive letter.
Thanks for taking a moment to think about this. I appreciate it.

How to move MACOS to new drive?

How do I upgrade to a new drive - MACOS Lion installed?

Exactly how Niel says.
Make sure you erase/format your new hard drive using disk utility.
Format it as MAC OS Extended Journaled then proceed to clone it using carbon copy.
Once done, install your new drive in your macbook and use your old drive as a back up drive.

How To Move Mail From Old Drive To New Drive

Hi All
My situation was I have an iMac 27inch 2010 running Mavericks and added another HD with a SSD drive and needed to get my Mail messages into the new Mail app on the SSD drive.
I downloaded a freeware called "Invisiblix" which finds hidden files then went to old hard drive - Users - Username - Library (was hidden for me) - Mail - and copy Mail folder to new Mail folder on the new drive (SSD) make sure Mail is closed. Follow same procedure to get to new mail on new drive.
Worked perfectly for me.

The way I usually do it is to create an Address Book backup database file (sorry; on a PC at the moment, not sure of the exact wording) on the "old" computer, then copy that file to the new one. Then, from on the new computer, open Address Book and choose to import or restore from a database file (again, sorry for not having the exact wording). When it prompts you to replace your existing data (of which there should be very little if anything), choose yes.
This assumes that by "address book" you're referring to Apple's built-in Address Book, not, for example, Microsoft WhateverTheEquivalentApplicationWouldBe 1.0. .

PSE6: moved catalog to new drive - inconsistent with original - need help

I have a puzzling occurence since backing up my Photoshop Elements 6 catalog a week or so ago. I wanted to move my catalog/photos on my laptop from the C drive (to get it to mostly software/programs) to the D drive (mostly data and documents) because my C drive was filling up and I have lots of room on my D drive.
Research on how to do this suggested that doing a backup and then a restore on the new drive was the way to go. I had done some cleanup on the C drive catalog beforehand, though not nearly as much as I want to do in the end. Here's what the directories report after the backup/restore (I haven't deleted the C drive catalog yet, and I want to create an additional backup to an external drive before doing so):
catalog on C, created Dec 26 2008
34.8 Gb
15,392 files
457 folders
WINDOWS EXPLORER SAYS 443 ITEMS
catalog on D, created Aug 14 2010
20.6 Gb
10,346 files
211 folders
WINDOWS EXPLORER SAYS 195 ITEMS
Do any of you have any insight into what could be going on with the backup/restore? I searched the photoshop elements forums and the adobe website help, but haven't found an answer.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi There,
Instead of Backup Restore, just use the Move Catalog Feature. Just try the following steps:
1. Launch Organizer
2. Go to File -> Catalog
3. Select Custom location radio button and choose the path on the D drive where you want the catalog to be copied.
4. Then Select the catalog and click the move button
5. Select the Custom Location Radio button and click OK.
With this, your catalog will move to the new location.
If you want to move the files within in the catalog as well, use the File -> Move command.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Tarun

How to move catalog safely... and rename

My external hard drive is getting a little flaky and I would like to move the catalog stored on it to another new drive. Are there any issues here that I should be aware of? I also wondered whether it was possible to duplicate the catalog first, before I do it so I can test the move.
On another note I'd really like to rename it to something I'm happier with rather than the name i originally assigned it.
Any answers from anyone with first hand experience?
Thanks
John

You can read how in this FAQ post http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c055fad
>I also wondered whether it was possible to duplicate the catalog first, before I do it so I can test the move.
Moving a file/folder from one disk to another is usually a "Copy to". So, there is no reason why the original catalog can't stay on the old external drive until you're fully satisfied that everything is good on the new drive.

New computer ?? on how to move library to new computer

I have done a search and followed some directions regarding this. But I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this. I'm hoping for some gently advice :-))
I have a new computer and want to move all my itunes to the new computer since it is faster. My new computer has Vista on it. I have read thru some searches regarding this, and this is what I've done so far.
I have made the new computer authorized under my account. And when I did that my music library did load on the new computer. None of my videos or movies moved to the new computer, is this supposed to be the case?? Also, when the music showed on the new computer, it did not show under the different playlist names that I have. Just the entire library. How do I get the new itunes to look like it does on the old computer (breaking down all the different playlists we have). We have 3 different ipods and different list for different family members.
I would appreciate any help..but please keep in mind. I really need an itunes
for dummy book! LOL Thanks in advance

I agree with that last statement, there does need to be an iTunes for Dummy's book. I could use it myself. Anyways...
To put your videos back in iTunes, you'll have to copy them from your old computer to the new one. Copy them onto a flash drive, and put them on the new PC. Then select: File/ Add File (Folder) to Library, and pick the File you want to add (folder of stuff you want to add).
You'll have to re-make the playlists yourself, sorry. Were they "Smart Playlists"? Because there is an option for these in the file menu. If your syncing iPods, watch out. Vista doesn't like iPods much. I've been having massive trouble putting mysic on my new Classic, and before that, updating my 30 GB Video. Good luck to you, and your family.

Hard drive crashed... How to sync Iphone with New Drive?

My hard drive crashed on my Macbook, I installed a new drive... How to I sync my Iphone without loosing applications, photos, pix,movies and contacts?

You should have a back-up of important info/music/pix/etc on an external source fro this very reason.
The iphone is not a storage device.
Assuming you don't back-up your info:
I think you can re-download Apps from the same itunes account.
Itunes purchased music can be transferred with iphone attached - in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
Pix can be e-mailed to yourself one at a time. The photos are optimized for viewing on iphone and will be of much lower quality than the original.
If you enter at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, before syncing, you will get the option to merge.
The pic and music sync is one-way, computer to iphone.
Unless you can find a 3rd party app that you can trust, the rest is lost.
This would be a good time to begin backing up your important info.

How do I add a new drive to a degraded MIRRORED RAID set?

My mirrored raid said it was degraded because one of the drives had a failure.
Today I unplugged the faulty drive and inserted a new one.
So far so good.
I erased the new drive.
Then I went into disk utility and followed the instructions in the help about RAID but I cannot see how to add this new drive to the RAID.
I'm confused.
1) The data is all on the RAID (the good, original slice) so can I add a new slice?
2) how do I do it?
Many thanks

I don't recommend the Apple hardware RAID card, and it doesn't work with off the shelf drives. If you are using drives in RAID, first make sure they are RAID Edition or lacking that Enterprise. Same make/model/firmware.
If using Seagate, avoid anything prior to 7200.12 series. If WD the RE2/3 series.
Rebuilds are slow, and one reason why I recommend 3 drives, even if you lose one you are covered still.
Of course just having two backups per volume is more important and comes first; mirrors are great for live editing and recording (audio) but otherwise... I'd stick to stripe and redundant backups. Only if you need 24/7. Otherwise, forget mirror.

How long will allocating a new drive take?

Currently, we have a Xserve with a RAID 5 array with 6 drives allocated and one hot spare. I am going to add the hot spare to be a regular part of the array. They are all 500GB modules. Can anyone give me an idea of how long it will take to allocate the new drive space? I know it took about 3 days to initialize the original 6 drives. Should I expect that it will take a much shorter time, or is it just about the same regardless of how many drives it is allocating?
TIA.

Just to clarify- you know that you will need to
remove the HFS+ filesystem and replace it with a new
file system in order to utilize the additional space.
(Backup, erase, make new volume, restore data)
Good point. I didn't even think that far into it. Thank you very much for your reply. This will help plan it all out.

How to move solution to new tenant home ?

I have a tenant that is scheduled to be decommissioned.
I have copied it to the new TEST tenant and tried to continue my work there. However there are some components I cannot edit (BAC), as it still knows the original "home" is the outgoing tenant.
So the basic question: how to move the solution to the new tenant "home" so the solution belongs to the new tenant as the development source ? (BTW, I have not deployed yet, so it's still the original solution, not a patch).
Thanks ahead.

Tim,
I can't really answer the question, but i think i ran into something like this in the past.
I expect you went to "Implementation Manager" in the original Test Tenant, and did "Download A Copy"
You then logged into the new Test Tenant and did "Upload" of the copy that you had downloaded from the original Test Tenant.
What is the Status of your Project in the new Test Tenant? Where you see Solution_Name (SolutionStatus) within the "Project Explorer", does it actually still say "In Development" in the new Test Tenant? I seem to recall when i did this process, it changed the status to something that wasn't "In Development"

IX4-300D how do I import a new drive into RAID 5 Array?

I already had a 3 x 2TB RAID 5 array, added new forth drive (same 2TB drive model) and let it auto format, which completed OK, but when I look at Status in Admin I see "Unallocated 1.8TB". This tells me the drive was formated but not imported into the Array.
Looking at Drive Management Page it shows all four drives installed but offers no actions, you cannot even select a drive to display or take action on.
Going into Settings only shows the settings I used to create the RAID 5 initially, no other options. I would expect a workflow of right click new drive and select to import into RAID 5.
Looking in the help section no detail on RAID only a basic comment on what RAID is.
Something badly missing here. Is there some info I have missed?
Peter

Hello 2Old2Slow
I highly recommend that you do make plans to backup your data from the unit before attempting to expand the RAID just in case something goes wrong in the process.
When trying to expand an existing RAID 5 from 3 to 4 disks, you can use the "add disks to storage system" option that is located in Drive Management>Settings. This option will become available after a new drive is added to the empty drive and the unit is powered back on. It may need to overwrite the new disk, it will indicate which disk is being overwritten by marking the new drive with green stripes. If you are being asked to overwrite data but none of the disks show green stripes, please stop and backup first as proceeding will most likely result in all disks being overwritten.

How to move music to new HDD

I added a new HDD on my Dell studio xps desktop. I moved my itunes folder to the new drive. Now when I start itunes it sets up a new itunes folder in the c: drive. I went into advance and said the path is now on the k: drive. But itunes doesn't see all my content.
Very frustrated.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, click on Choose Library, and point it to that drive.

How to move CPS to new server?

Can anyone provide any guidance on migrating a current CPS installation to a new server? I tried doing a new install, copying over directory structure, and renaming the server, but that was a disaster. I have reverted, but I really need some help on figuring out how to migrate to a new server while keeping all the roles, users, and settings.
