Is it possible to move a book project from one LR5 catalog to another?

I have spent days laying out a book on my laptop with low resolution jpegs in a temporary project catalog.  I wanted to export the book project in a project catalog and import it into my main catalog on my desktop to swap out the small jpegs with full sized images and then order the book.
However I have been stuck because apparently LR 5 does not export the book project with the catalog.  I was surprised after importing the project catalog into my main catalog on my desktop because the book project was not there, only the selection of images in a new default book layout.  When I open the temporary project catalog exported from my laptop, only the images were in the book, but all formatting and text pages are missing... it was essentially a default book layout.  It seems the book project does not export, even when right clicking on the book project and selecting "Export this Collection as a Catalog".
I know I can import the high res files to my laptop and complete the order, but I want the archive of the book project in my main catalog, as I will want to use it in the future, both for digital PDFs and physical book orders.
Or am I missing something entirely?  If anyone has any advice, I would love it.
I am using Lightroom 5.3 on a mac running OS 10.8.5 (both desktop and laptop)
Thanks,
Sol

John,
OK, I re-exported the book project as a catalog and opened the exported catalog on my laptop to check it before transferring to my desktop.  After double clicking on the book project, it loaded properly.  What I did not know before is that you have to double click on the book project icon after importing to load it.  I was only selecting the book project in the collections panel.
Now I just need to reimport into my master catalog on my desktop… but it should work.
I have not started using smart previews, because I just upgraded to LR5 and have been busy consolidating my many separate catalogs into one master catalog and struggling with the metadata mismatches.  Once that is all cleared up, I will start working with smart previews.
Thank you,

  • How do I move an iTunes library from one external drive to another?

    I need to move my iTunes library from one external disk to another, because the original disk is about to fail. So, I went into iTunes Perferences --> Advanced, and set the library to a new, empty folder on the new drive.
    Nothing changed. I expected all my music to vanish from iTunes, so that I would have to re-import it. However, all the music remained, still on the old disk. At this point, if I were to recreate the library on the new disk, I would have all of my music twice.
    Is it possible to move an iTunes library from one external drive to another, or am I stuck with my original choice until I buy a new machine? If I can move it, can one of you clever folks explain how it could be done?

    However, those are all dealing with old versions of iTunes that still contained the Advanced --> Consolidate Library command which is no longer part of the app. (I'm on iTunes 10.6.1.)
    Consolidate is still part of iTunes.
    It is in iTunes menu File > Library > Manage library > Consolidate.
    The article you linked to is old and it is (and was) a hacky way of doing it.
    Just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to new location, hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) when launching iTunes.

  • Move a query to from one user group to another user group

    Hi,
    it's possible to move a query (SQ01) from one user group to another user group ??
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You can copy queries only if you have the authorization to make changes. Within your current user group, you can copy all queries. However, queries of other user groups can only be copied if the InfoSet used to define the query is assigned to both user groups.
    To copy a query, proceed as follows:
    1. Choose the name of the query you want to copy on the initial screen.
    If you do not know the name, use the directory functions to display the query directories and then choose a query to copy from there.
    2. Choose Copy.
    3. Enter the name and the user group of the query that you want to copy in the dialog box. Furthermore, you must enter a name for the copied query. The system proposes values for this.
    4. Choose Continue.
    This takes you to the initial screen. The query is added and appears in the query directory. You can now continue.

  • How does one move or copy emails from one IMAP folder to another without loosing tags?

    I am using Thunderbird 31 with an IMAP server (one that I control) and I'm wanting to move some emails from one IMAP folder to another (within the same account) which works just fine, but I noticed that tags are not retained. Is there a way to copy/move emails without losing tags?
    Thanks:

    I think there are some misunderstood.
    I do not suggest to "Switch" devices.
    I suggest the safest way how you can do it.
    Connect device, where you have needed Address Book, buckup it (only Address Book)
    Then connect second device and just recover Address Book, after from Second device you can delete not needed contact.
    I have 6 devices for separate issue and in all of them same contact, with small changes

  • How to move Startup Disk clone from one external drive to another?

    I thought this would be a question easily answered on the WWW and easily found via search engines, but so far no luck, hence this question.
    Prior to upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion I followed some very good instructions from Tom Nelson on ask.com (http://macs.about.com/od/backupsarchives/ss/diskbackup.htm) related to using Disk Utility to clone my internal Macintosh HD drive to an external hard drive, making it a bootable drive.  I cloned to a very nice LaCie external FW drive that had far more room than that needed for the clone.  This drive booted just fine as a startup disk, so mission accomplished:   I have now a bootable clone of my Lion system prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion. 
    The upgrade to Mountain Lion went well, and now, before I put any additional apps or much additional data on the original internal  Macintosh HD drive, I want to use Disk Utility again to clone the drive so I'll have a snapshot of the system right after the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Questions: 
    Is there any way to use the same LaCie drive that now holds the Lion startup disk clone to hold the yet-to-be-done Mountain Lion startup disk clone?  
    If not, how can I move the Lion startup disk clone from the oversized LaCie external drive to a drive more the size of the Lion clone (approx 140G)?   The LaCie drive is far too roomy and nice to have sitting gathering dust for only 140G to be used in an emergency restore. 
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Good info Csound1, and thanks. 
    So my final question (I think):  How does one move/copy a startup disk clone from one external drive to another, and still have it bootable on the new external drive?   I'm still considering freeing this LaCie drive up for more dynamic storage and getting another drive for the bootable startup disk clones IF I can move this Lion startup disk clone to a new external drive. 
    I guess the summary question is:   how does one clone a startup disk clone?  As I think about this, and recall the Disk Utility screens, couldn't I simply select the Lion clone on the LaCie FW external drive and do the same operation I did with the original internal Lion drive?  Basically the same steps as before but this time the source is the LaCie FW external and the destination is a new external drive? 
    Thanks again; wonderful forum here with very smart people.

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

    Hi there!
    I have this old email that will shut down in some time and i need to move all my purchases from it to my new @me.com Apple ID! How can I do it? Is there any way of doing this? Thanks

    roaminggnome is right. If you're losing access to the email address used for your old account, you should change the account name to reflect an address you will actually have access to. This would allow you to keep your purchase history. This article has instuctions for changing your account name:
