Importing a catalog when the images are stored offline

I have cataloged 126 DVDs worth of images, around 7000 in all (lots of big TIFFs)
As I have done this over the last year, I have selected "import from current location" option so that the actual images stay on the DVDs and I just have the previews in LightRoom.
I am migrating from an old to a new computer. I am using LR 1.3.1.
I burned my LR catalog to a CD and told LR to "import from current location" after pointing LR to the .lrdb file on the CD.
All 7000 images were imported but the previews did not get imported.
I am thoroughly unclear how to get the previews into my new computer. I see a folder called "Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata" with a whole bunch of files in it but I don't understand how to get those into Lightroom.

Did you burn the previews folder to the CD as well?

Can I show a spinner when the images are loading

I am now using flash builder 4.5.1 to create a mobile application. there will be multiple images in the view. I want to use a spinner to indicate the image is loading, and once the image loaded, the content of each image be replaced by the original mobimage.
1) For IconItemRenderer, how to show the spinner?
2) For the Image control, how to show the spinner?
Thanks and hope you can understand my question and also hope some people can answer me.

Is working on FCE projects while all the video files are saved on an external drive a bad idea?
Not at all. This is the correct way to work with a laptop.

Can I make the thumbnails in Lightroom bigger, when the pictures are missing/ offline?

Hello everybody,
I have a huge problem. There are some pictures from a friends wedding in lightroom who are missing/ offline. The problem is that the pictures aren't on my computer or memory card anymore and I already tried a data recovery with Disk Drill. Unfortunately the pictures (documents) which have been found by Disk Drill, are damaged and can't be opened. So the pictures are really gone.
But now I was looking in Lightroom (i've uploaded the pictures with Lightroom in the first place) and I see that the thumbnails are from a reasonable quality. That's why I am wondering if it's possible to larger the thumbnails without losing quality/ pixels. Of course I already tried a few things (SmillaEnlarger & some things in Photoshop), but unfortunately the pictures are still very bad.
Or is there any other way to get this pictures back? I still got the catalogus from Lightroom where the pictures where.

I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,

Thank you very much. I already tried that one and unfortunately it doesn't work at my pictures, because the pictures I have are from a bad quality and a lot of pixels are missing. See example:
But thanks anyway!!!!

I use CS5 when I save my work and try to uplload on Facebook vistaprint even on my gmail the pics comes out distorted.When the images are photoshop everything looks good I need help to find out this is happening.

Its not doing it on here

Of course not. The caller wanting to take up a half hour of the already overwhelmed employee should be told they will be in line like everyone else and leave a callback number so the employee can call them back when his turn comes up.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Hi all, when I open a New Tab pg all the images are blank - I've tried clicking on the blank images, & dragging a link from the Bookmarks, without success!

I want to achieve at least one of two things: either set New Tabs to open with Google automatically; or at least, to have Google pinned to the New Tab page. (Google is my home page.) When a new page opens, all the images are blank. I've read through the Help pages & tried various things. I've tried dragging Google from the Bookmarks to the New Tab, but this only opens Google. I've tried clicking on the blank images, but nothing happens. I've toggled the blank images off for now, so at least I don't need to look at them. I am doing a university course online, so efficiency is really important to me! Those extra clicks really add up & distract!... Thanks in advance :)

A library on my hard drive became corrupted, so I over-wrote it from an external hard drive. When I access the library now on my hard drive, many of the images are vertical, and cannot be rotated other than one at a time. Ideas to correct this?

You had already done "Repair" and "Rebuild"? These usually takes scores of minutes or hours.
Does the Library on your external drive work from the external drive? Navigate to it in Finder and double-click the name.
If it does, delete the problem Library, empty the System Trash, reboot, Verify your system disk using Disk Utility (and might as well repair permissions while you're at it), reboot, test the external drive Library once more to confirm it works properly, then close it and copy the Library to your system drive. When the copying is done, double-click the Library (now on the system drive) and see what you get.

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks
Nlouis

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

When I open PS from LR to edit an image, the thumbnail appears in the side bar but the image area is white, PS CC 2014!

Hi,
I've just started a subscription for the Photographers package, when I open PS from LR to edit an image, the thumbnail appears in the side bar but the image area is white, I'm sure this is a stupid newbie mistake but I can't for the life of me see what I've done wrong.

Are you referring the the multiple thumbnails in ACR side bar? I don't use LR but I do use Photoshop and as far as I know Photoshop has no sidebar with image thumbnails.

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER THE IMAGES ARE BLACK BOXES.
THE FORM HAs (extend features to acrobat reader). THE FORM WAS DISTRIBUTED.
NON OF MY EMPOYEES CAN SEE THE IMAGES. WHAT'S WRONG? CAN YOU HELP?

However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.

Iphoto gives message "no images were selected" when hit print button. Yet the the images are clearly selected in the print window. I've printed hundreds of images without a problem before. Iphoto 6.0.6, MAC 10.5.8

Iphoto gives message "no images were selected" when hit print button. Yet the the images are clearly selected in the print window. I've printed hundreds of images without a problem before. Iphoto 6.0.6, MAC 10.5.8, Suggestions?

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?

I don't want to have to restart or reinstall my iTunes again as I'll have to redo all my playlists etc

Likely that CD then. Check visually for damage, blemishes, etc., not that there's anything you can really do about those other than return the CD.
The drive sits there and spins because it is trying to re-read the CD. iTunes has error correction which is contributing to all this re-reading, I believe, and you may be able to disable that in preferences if you aren't picky about the result.
You can also try other rippers such as Max or XLD. I know those have configurable error correction. I like XLD but it is slightly tricky to use until you find that for some reason the author has put all settings under preferences, not just the set once and forget ones.
