Importing existing libraries

Hi All,
I used to have a huge library already imported into lightroom while all the files stored on Drobo (external HD).
At some point my main computer died (HD failure).
After a full reinstall of the whole system from scratch, including LR I tried to reimport the same libraries again into new the new installation.
Is there a way to reuse the old import or somehow recreate it? Or I have to do it all from scratch?
Thanks,
Alex.

First of all, let me say that I don't really understand Steve Ives's comments on this matter.
What you need to do is find your previous catalog file, which existed before the computer crash. It is a file named *.LRCAT. If you can find this file, or a recent backup, then let us know and we can give you some simple instructions on how to restore it.
If you can't find this file, or a recent backup, then your previous work/organization is gone, and I strongly recommend that you begin making regular backups of this file. In fact, let me state the issue even more strongly ... making regular backups of your catalog file is MANDATORY for Lightroom users. As you can see, not having a backup exposes you to great risk.

    How do I import existing song libraries to my I tunes library?

    Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of address information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Either just go through the verification process or, if you have a credit card entered and don't expect to need to use it anytime soon, go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none" which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. If it still asks - my account does - just click through the buttons and it should verify without problems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Import Flare Libraries

    Flare is an awesome data vizualization toolkit. Flare is a
    collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of
    interactive visualizations. For example, flare can be used to build
    basic charts, complex animations, network diagrams, treemaps, and
    more. Flare is written in the ActionScript 3 programming language
    and can be used to build visualizations that run on the web in the
    Adobe Flash Player. Flare applications can be built using the free
    Adobe Flex SDK or Adobe's Flex Builder IDE. Flare is based on
    prefuse, a full-featured visualization toolkit written in Java.
    Flare is open source software licensed under the terms of the BSD
    license, and can be freely used for both commercial and
    non-commercial purposes.
    Now, I downloaded the
    flare-prefuse
    visualization toolkit, from the
    flare-prefuse.org site.
    Following the steps in the
    Flare Tutorial,
    for the life of me I can't seem to import the flare libraries into
    the Tuturial project within Flex Builder.
    How do you import projects into another project? I'm able to
    import the libraries so that they appear in the Flex Builder's
    Navigation pane. I go through the "
    Importing a libarary with another project" steps mentioned
    below. When I click "OK" to add a project, the project name (eg.
    flare.util) does not appear in the Library Path window. Further,
    when I use a statement to reference the library, such as import
    flare.animate.Tween, the FB2 compiler returns an error, "Definition
    flare.animate:Tween could not be found".
    Specifically, the flare tutorial states:
    Importing Libraries
    Before proceeding, make sure you have the flare libraries
    loaded as projects within Flex Builder. You should have already
    unzipped the flare files into your main Flex Builder workspace
    directory. The next step is to import them into the Flex Builder
    environment:
    - Make sure you are in the "Flex Development" perspective.
    - Right click the navigator pane on the left.
    - Select "Import..." in the popup menu.
    - In the dialog, select "General > Existing Projects into
    Workspace" and click the "Next" button.
    - Use the "Select root directory" widgets to navigate to your
    Flex Builder workspace directory
    - You should now seen the flare projects listed in the
    "Projects:" panel
    - Make sure all flare.* projects are selected and then click
    the "Finish" button.
    You should now see all the flare projects in the Navigator
    pane. You can now browse the source code for each of the
    sub-libraries.
    Overview of the flare libraries
    Here is a quick overview of the various flare projects:
    flare.animate: animation library (depends on flare.util)
    flare.data: library for loading data sets, useful, but still
    under development (depends on flare.util)
    flare.demos: an application project showcasing a number of
    visualization demos
    flare.physics: a physics engine, useful for physical effects
    or force-directed layout (no dependencies)
    flare.query: a query processor for ActionScript objects
    (depends on flare.util)
    flare.util: a set of utility classes shared by all projects
    (no dependencies)
    flare.vis: the flare visualization components and operators
    (depends on flare.util, flare.animate, and flare.physics)
    If a project has a dependency, you will need to import all
    dependent projects into your application. We now describe how to do
    that.
    Importing a library within another project
    Now we need to adjust our project settings so that we can
    make use of the flare libraries. Just follow these steps:
    1. In the Navigator pane, right click the top folder of the
    "Tutorial" project
    2. Click "Properties" in the context menu
    3. In the resulting dialog, click "ActionScript Build Path"
    in the left panel (it should be the 3rd item from the top)
    4. Click the "Library path" tab in the right panel
    5. Click the "Add Project" button
    6. You should now see a list of projects, including all the
    flare libraries.
    7. Select "flare.util" and then click "OK"
    You've now added the flare.util libraries to your project,
    and can use any of the classes it provides. Repeat steps 5-7 above
    for the "flare.animate", "flare.physics", and "flare.vis" projects.
    (We will be using the flare.animate classes in this part of the
    tutorial, and then adding in the flare.vis classes in the next
    part, so we might as well import them all now). "
    My directory structure for the Tutorial project is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Ron Barrett\My Documents\Flex
    Builder 2\Tutorial
    Can you help to explain to me how to import the flare
    libraries so that they are available to the Tutorial project?
    Man, if you can help me out with this I'd be REALLY
    grateful!!
    All the best,
    Ron

    Hi Magicrebirth:
    Jeff Heer, of UC Berkeley, responded to my question, which
    was also posted on the SourceForge Flare forum. The following is
    his reply, which solved my problem. The easy answer is simply to
    download and install FlexBuilder beta version 3.
    Sorry for your troubles! The tutorial was written and tested
    with Adobe
    Flex Builder 3 Beta, so one solution would be to use FB3
    instead.
    Another approach may instead be to do a clean import of the
    projects.
    To do this, first delete the following files in each flare
    project:
    .actionScriptProperties
    .flexLibProject
    .project
    Next, you can manually set up each project. In Flex
    Development mode,
    right click in the Flex Navigator and select "New
    > Flex Library
    Project". Now create a new project. Flex Builder
    acts strangely when
    project names have a "." in them, so leave
    the "." out of the name. For
    example, type "flareutil" instead of
    "flare.util". After typing the
    name, click OK. There should now be a project named
    "flareutil" in the
    navigator pane.
    Now rename the project: right-click the project and select
    "Rename...".
    Now add the "." back into name (for example
    "flareutil" should become
    "flare.util"). In a warning message pops
    up, just dismiss it. The
    project should now have the correct name and include the
    files in the
    flare.util folder.
    Now we just need to setup the project settings. Right click
    the project
    and select "Properties". A dialog window
    should appear. In the list on
    the left, select "Flex Library Build Path".
    Under the tab "Classes",
    make sure the box next to the "flare"
    package is checked (all sub
    checkboxes should be checked as a result) -- this makes sure
    all the
    files are included with the project.
    Finally, you need to set up any project dependencies. These
    are
    described in the Tutorial. For example, flare.animate has a
    dependency
    on flare.util. To specify this, click the "Library
    path" tab in the
    Properties dialog. Now click "Add Project"
    and select the project to
    add. After you've done that, the project should appear in the
    "Build
    path libraries:" list. Click the "Link
    Type" setting under the newly
    added project reference, click the "Edit"
    button on the right, and
    adjust the link type to "External". Now
    repeat this for any other
    project dependencies.
    Repeat the above process for each of the included flare
    projects. The
    only difference is for flare.demos. For that project, create
    a new
    "ActionScript Project", NOT a
    "Flex Library Project".
    As you can see, this involves a bit of busy work, so
    switching to Flex
    Builder 3 may be simpler.
    hope that helps,
    -jeff

  • How to import existing projects into JDeveloper 11g

    I am trying to work with JDeveloper for my application and want to know whether it is possible to import existing projects into the work space in JDeveloper. I am currently working with eclipse IDE and this feature is available in it. How can I connect to clear case from JDeveloper? In eclipse it is very easy to connect to clear case with a plugin installed and check out, check in files from the source control. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The basic way to import code is to use the "New->Projects->Project from existing code" or "project from WAR" dialogs to create your project.
    You then need to do some tweaking in the project properties->Content (and sub nodes such as resources and Web content).
    And also set the correct JARs/Libraries in the project properties.
    You can use the help->check for update to download the extension to JDeveloper that will let you integrate with Clearcase to do version management.
    This how-to might help you with your migration:

  • Importing existing only WAR file in NWDS for deployment on WAS

    Hi,
    I have WAR file created on the eclispe platform by someone. I am required to import that into NWDS and embed into EAR and then deploy on WAS.
    However, i found no direct way to import existing only WAR file into NWDS. Simply importing a file in the web module project will only copy the contents, without that getting extracted.
    Kindly let me know in detail, how to acheive the same.
    Regards,
    Apeksha

    Hi,
    don't worry. It will work. If done this with a Web Application I received from a vendor. Normally it is deployed on Tomcat but we had to integrate the functionality into SAP Portal / SAP Web AS.
    So I just created an empty Web Module Project and the Enterprise Project, linked them and built the EAR.
    I just replaced the empty WAR in the generated EAR with the WAR I received from my Vendor and deployed it on SAP J2EE using Visual Admin.
    In general you should be able to deploy every WAR on every APP Server with a servlet engine that conforms the SUN J2EE Specifications (SAP J2EE does)!
    Does this mean that Web module project is never executed, since that WAR added in the EAR is only getting executed?
    I don't really understand this question? The result of your Web Module Built is the WAR file. By linking it to your EAR you just achieve that the WAR File is put into EAR when you build the EAR. Since your Web Module Project has the same name as your WAR File (I hope it does) you just pretend that the WAR File you are putting in the EAR replacing the empty one was the one that was built within NWDS.
    The Web Module is the one that is being executed after deployment. It contains all the Code. The Enterprise App is just a wrapper around it. I don't know why it is not possible to directly deploy a WAR File to J2EE.
    It could be that you get some problems with Libraries in your Web App that also exist on J2EE (e.g. Java Mail)
    I had the problem with Java Mail. The Version in WebApp was newer than the one used in J2EE so some functionality did not work at the beginning. Since there seems to be no way to tell the J2EE Classloader to load the Child Libraries first instead of parent I had to replace the mail.jar in SAP J2EE with my own one.
    You will probably not even face such a problem so just ignore it for now!!
    Unpack the WAR to some folder in your local filesystem using a ZIP Program. Then open your File Browser (e.g. Windows Explorer if you are on Windows) and put your NWDS besides it. Then just drag and drop the files from your File Explorer to NWDS using the Resource Perspective (as described above)
    It is some manual work but there is no other way around this if you want to build your Web App in NWDS in order to avoid exchanging the WAR in your EAR everytime you deploy it!
    If you have further questions let me know
    Cheers

  • Importing existing project to Project Online

    Hello, my company recently purchased Project Online to add to our existing Office 365 environment.
    From the Project Web App home page, I would like to use the Create or Import projects tile to add an existing .mpp project file that I have uploaded to my SkyDrive to Project Online, and manage this project from the Project Web app.
    However, I cannot figure out how to do this or if it is even possible. The tile itself says "Create new or import from Sharepoint sites and project files.".  To import an existing project you're then referred to this site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-server-help/more-ways-to-create-or-import-projects-HA102923810.aspx.
     On that site the only listed ways of importing an existing project are to import a Sharepoint task list (not what I want) or by connecting your local Project Pro to Project Online and publishing the project.
    Importing or uploading an existing project file directly to Project Online would seem to be a fundamental basic usage of Project Online. Do I really need to also purchase Project Professional in order to import existing project files to Project Online?
    Thanks

    Project Online cannot read mpp files, hence the reason for requiring Project Professional 2013 if you want to import these into Project Online - even if you only want to manage them via Project Web App from then on.  
    If you've not got Project 2013 Pro, you could cut and paste the existing task list from Project into a SharePoint list, and create the project from there.
    The way forward will depend on the complexity of your schedules, remember that PWA does not have all of the capability of MS Project 2013

  • How to import existing ColdFusion project in the eclipse.

    Hi All,
    I have exiting ColdFusion project in my local drive and I want to import it in Eclipse. I already have CFEclipse installed in Eclipse. Is there any step by step instruction to do this?
    Thanks

    You should be able to copy the folder into your Eclipse workspace folder, then go to File--New--Project and select CFML Project (under CFEclipse).
    If it is an existing Eclipse project, e.g. there is already a .project file in the folder, you can follow the steps at Importing Existing Projects.

  • How to import existing eclipse Project to JDeveloper

    Hi,
         previously I used to use Eclipse IDE. I have started to use Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0 now. How can I import my existing Eclipse projects to JDeveloper? Please Note, I already have tried following options -
    "Importing Existing Files into a New JDeveloper Project" from here - Working with Applications and Projects.
    But, When I import the source files from existing Eclipse Projects to JDeveloper, I am not able to crease similar directory structure in the JDeveloper(in Application Navigator). As a result, I can not use my existing ANT build script to build my project[Though JDeveloper build my project,but I want to use manual ANT build.]
    Moreover I don't want to change my existing directory structure as I am working on and existing project and I need to synchronize to my repository(Apache SVN).
    Can any one help me in this - How can I import existing Eclipse Project to JDeveloper? Without any significant change in directory structure.
    Best Regards
    Chandramoulee

    Well there are two options - if you have a WAR file with the code in it, then you can use the file->import WAR.
    Or you can use the new->Project from source code.
    Note that you'll probably need to do some library settings and some directory setting after that.
    Have a look at this demo for basic steps:

  • Importing existing projects

    I am trying to import some projects that I have on my work
    machine in to my home machine. I am just getting started with Flex
    builder but am having a bit of trouble understanding how it handles
    projects...there is no apparent way to *completely* close one
    project and open another one, so you are working on only one at a
    time. Rather, it appears that you import all projects into the same
    workspace, and switch between them in the Navigator (whether these
    projects are related to one another or not). Is this correct?
    One problem I had though, is that I cannot seem to import all
    my projects. I created a directory on my work machine called
    FlexProjects, and inside are two project directories, say Test and
    Keyboard. I took this entire directory home with me and saved to a
    local drive. Then, I used the Switch Workspace command to switch to
    FlexProjects. Then, I said Import ->existing projects and
    navigated to the FlexProjects folder. From here, it listed both
    Test and Keyboard. It will then import Test, but when importing
    Keyboard I get this message:
    Invalid project description:
    Reason:
    Invalid project description
    and the details say:
    E:\projects\FlexProjects\Keyboard overlaps the workspace
    location E:\projects\FlexProjects
    I don't understand this - I did a compare of the Test and
    Keyboard project paths and there was no obvious difference (like an
    incorrect path) that would explain why Test will import but
    Keyboard won't.
    It is critical that I be able to port Flex projects between
    home and work .. can someone help me fix this?
    Thanks!

    That's what I figured.   I'll just have to work through the background and keep as is.  thanks!

  • Importing existing site made in another app into iWeb

    Hi,
    Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
    I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
    Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:

    No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.

  • Importing existing classes loses package identity in 9.0.2

    I have tried several ways, but everytime I import existing classes, they all go to Miscellaneous Files and won't display under their packages. This is from disk or from source code control (CVS). This works fine with the same exact classes and directories under JDeveloper 3.1.1. It seems simple, but it is frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    This is normally because the Source Path setting (under Common->Input Paths in project settings) is not set to the correct directory. You should get a prompt asking if you want to add the correct path to the source path when adding files to a project.
