Is there no way to re-link all files on a drive at once? Lightroom ask to "combine folders" instead?

Hi,
I would like to relink all the photos in my LR5 catalogue to a new drive to which I have copied all the items using Finder (and not from within LR unfortunately).
When clicking on the exclamation mark next to the "missing" photo with "Find Nearby Missing Photos" checked, I can relink all photos in that folder. The same is true if done through the folder pane to the left. But when trying to relink several folders at once, like e.g. when selecting the main 2014 folder, it only says that the folders are already recognized and offers to "combine" them and offers no other re-link alternative. Relinking each folder manually would be too time consuming and I am sure there has to be a way to do this since it was possible already in LR3 (and probably before that).
What does "combine folders" mean in this context and how would I go about to solve this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Is there a way to move smart previews to  different hard drive and point lightroom to them

    I want to use lightroom on a surface pro. My Lightroom catalogue will be on a 64gb thumbdrive so I can use it between my stationary computer and the portable one.  Since my Smart Preview folder is much larger than 64gb, can I put it on the internal hard drive in the surface keep my catalogue on the thumbdrive and point lightroom to the smart preview folder?

    No, my smart preview catalogue is 160gb and I don't want to carry around an external hard drive,  using the catalgue on a low profile thumbdrive solves the issue of using two computers,  If I can figure out away to  point the program to the smart previews, then I would be in business, since the images would synch up when I get home again.

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • Closed a logic pro x project and when asked to save i said no did i lose all i did or is there a way i can recover the files??

    Closed a logic pro x project and when asked to save i said no did i lose all i did or is there a way i can recover the files??

    Your only parachute would be Time Machine (if you have it running).
    Logic's Auto Save feature doesn't help you at that point because that data is reset if you close the Project (or save the Project). However, the recorded audio files should be still in the Projects File (inside the Media folder of the Package File).
    My guess is that this is actually a bug because it leaves orphan files behind that cannot be accessed from the Logic Project itself.
    Hope that helps

  • Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded?

    Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded? Like some sort of historical list associated to my account?
    It would help a great deal- I restored my phone from a backup after my iphone crashed- but I had downloaded many apps since then, so now I have to re-download all the missing apps. Thing is I cant remember all of them?
    Anone else have the same problem?

    Have you never synced your phone? Syncing puts copies of each app into iTunes for you to manage and have available to sync over when you want.
    Other than that, in iTunes, from top menus (forget which one, think under help) you can access your account and then view purchase history.

  • My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

    My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my iPad 1.  it seems  the data and cannot turn a page or add more contacts

    Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my gen 1 ipad?  I seem to have lost the data and can't turn a page or add new contacts.  I did try to reload the contacts (and I guess everything else) from my itunes computer backup but nothing happens to the All Contacts app. everything else seems to work fine on the ipad so I'm not sure what happened to the data or why.  not sure i want to try and reset the whole ipad just for this one little app or feature...thanks in advance to any replies.

    Sorry, had to sep out.  I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location.  Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact.  So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it.  Rick

  • HT2905 My entire song list duplicated for some reason  Do i have to delete individually (take forever), or is there a way to do it all at once?

    My entire song list duplicated for some reason. Do I have to delete songs individually (take forever), or is there a way to do it all at once?

    I had the same problem.  Had at least 3 of each song in my library...  Here's how I fixed it.
    Go on iTunes to your library
    Hit Shift and click on View
    Scroll down to "show exact duplicate items"
    the list will give you all your duplicated songs
    Click at the top of the "date added" Column to sort by date added.
    Even if it all happened the same day it will group your whole library by date and time added. 
    The time is the key...
    You can start at the begining of you list and scroll to the last song that was added that day and time frame.
    Everything after your last song is duplicates.
    Highlight the first song hold down shift and scroll down to the last song... 
    Once they are all highlighted you can hit delete and send them all to the recycle bin.
    It took me a while to figure it out but it works

  • Is There A Way To Auto 'Add All' MSN Buddies to iChat (Jabber)??

    Hello all.
    I have successfully registered for a Jabber account and "registered" the Jabber /MSN Gateway via PSi.
    I remembered a long time ago before Tiger I attempted this with iChat, and all my MSN buddies are automatically added into iChat, just like in MSN.
    But now when I go online in iChat with my Jabber account, it is empty.
    Is there a way to "automatically add" all my MSN buddies??
    Also another Question: It is only possible to activate 1 Jabber account at one time?? I have another one with my Gmail buddy, when I activate my Jabber MSN, the Jabber Gmail becomes uncheck...
    Is there a way to activate ALL Jabber accounts??
    Thanks and cheers

    No, it's not the same Jabber server as the last time... but on the 2nd time when I log on to my Jabber account in PSi and make the MSN Gateway active, all my buddies in MSN started to appear in a list in the main window... that did not happen the 1st time round... so maybe the "push" thing you mentioned maybe happening here... but after that I did not have the time to go log on iChat again...
    Thanks and cheers
