I have Win7 and Mac OS versions of LR 4.x  I use both regularly.  Can I reconcile the DB?

I have Win7 and Mac OS versions of LR 4.x  I use both regularly. 
I'd like to periodically reconcile the images and databases so that at least one of the applications has a complete collection of images and DB information.
Is there a recommended way to do this?
The Mac is a laptop that is frequently on the road.  The Win7 Machine is at home, connected to NAS for backup.  The Mac is intermittently backed-up to the NAS via wifi.
Thanks in advance -
Perry

I do the following after returning home with new images on my laptop:
network the computers
export all new images as a catalog including previews and negatives (=your actual RAWs or JPEGs)
copy the entire folder with catalog, previews and images across the network onto the desktop computer
from the desktop's LR perform an import from catalog moving the files to your preferred location
after successful import optionally delete the images from the laptop
That makes the desktop's LR installation the master catalog. It's possible to maintain the exact same catalog with images on both computers, but it's not very practical. You tend to run out of storage space on the laptop sooner and would need to resort to external drives, which I find rather inconvenient.

  • Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

    is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

    The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
    you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).

    I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my desktop and my mouse, i mean the arrow and still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appened when i was talking with a friend on Skype, by error i did click on the video and slowly the vertical lines appeared and covered all ma desktop. Since then, it still there and the only things i see it is the vertical lines and the arrow with the little square.
    How can i fix this problem ?
    En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
    Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

    Hello, sounds like Video card  and/or heat problems.
    Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Mac Mail Version 6.0 (1486) has stopped recieving mesages regularly and the search doesn't work

    Mac Mail Version 6.0 (1486) has stopped recieving mesages regularly and the search doesn't work.
    Since installing Mountain Lion, Mail seems to be very unresponsive. I have mac mail running on an iMac (which works fine) and a 2012 MacbookPro which is the one having the issues with the Mail app. Both computers are running on Mountian Lion.
    When I scroll up in Mail for instance, the frame rate drops to about 5 a second.
    When I click on a message it doesn't display it in the preview pane. Which is very annoying!
    But I can get around the issue by double clicking on a message and it opens up the message in a new window.
    When I search for a message, nothing appears in the results. Even if Im searching for something that is defiently there, eg if I type in my name, you'd think some results would come up. But when I click on something else, the results dispaly for about half a second. Bizarre. Is anyone else having this problem?

    what kind of error in browser you are seeing?
    is search service application never starterd or its started but cannot crawl?
    did you see the timer jobs related to search services and what's their status?
    so what about the search results from site collection?
    also make sure this service "SharePoint Search Host Controller Service" started on all servers in the farm.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
    In the browser I receive the following error:
    The search service app is running, doesn't crawl:
    Yes, I can see the timer jobs related to search services, some of them are Succeded, others are Scheduled.
    The service SharePoint Search Host Controller Service is started in the first server of the farm, but not in the second
    one. When I try to start it, I receive the following error:
    Windows could not start the Sharepoint Search Host Controller Service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

    I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

    Do you have the original gray system disks that came with the computer, or a full retail install disk set for 10.5? If so, you can use a utiltiy:

    to extract just Image Capture from the disk and install it. Otherwise, you  would have to reinstall the entire OS

    I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

    Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

  • HT4597 I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?

    I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?

    iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What  to do?

    I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years. 
    I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed.  Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services.  It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install.  The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes.  This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows.  However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back.  I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable.

  • I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop.  Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade b/c of memory. Could this cause the problem?

    I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop.  Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade past OS 5.1.1. b/c of memory (1st generation iPad and iPhone 4s). Could this cause the problem after the release of the new OS?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
