Just want to copy, not move

I need to locate different groups of photos by various criteria, then simply copy these images to various folders on an external hard drive. Originals stay where they are and the copies in the new directories are not to be included in the current library.
How do I do this?

Not sure if there is an analog on Windows.
Adobe appears to have chosen not to follow the Apple guidelines for copying a file. If you use the usual 'option+click_and_drag' from within the Library nothing happens. However, if you simply 'click_and_drag' then a copy will appear in the destination folder. Please note that I have only tried this when dragging to a folder which is not involved with Lightroom.

    I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere.  I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account.  I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    Hey cptniemo,
    Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
    Download past purchases

    Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):

  • How do I copy (not move) entire LR library to new hard drive?

    Thanks in advance. I can't seem to find any advice about this in the forums: I would like to consolidate all of my image files onto one  hard drive by copying them from multiple drives to one large new one. The desired result is that I would have my library on that new drive, with all the links making sense to LR, but leaving the original files on those original drives as an archival back up. I know how to MOVE the files within LR, but I can't figure out how to COPY them. If the image files were not already in the catalog, I would just import them using "copy and add to catalog." Worst case, I suppose I could move all of the files to the new drive and then export copies to the old drives, but that seems very time consuming. I have more than 3TB of files. Ideas?

    Do a copy in your operating system, and then you have to point Lightroom to the copies, as explained here (scroll down to "Updating Folder Location")

  • How do I NOT save a file every time I open a PDF file, open an attachment, etc.? I know how to set the option to change the save location, but in some cases I just want to VIEW not SAVE a file that I read while browsing

    I don't want Firefox to save a copy on my hard disk of every attachment, PDF, etc. that I open while browsing. How do I make this happen?

    Firefox needs to download and save a file before passing it to a plugin.
    You can set the Boolean pref <b>browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit</b> to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to remove such files.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • I just wanted to download a movie but it keeps telling me Error 8008. How can I go on?

    I just bought a movie on iTunes and it loads for a time and then it tells me that this file might be broken and that the Errornumber is 8008. I tried to do every step that iTunes told me to do to sove this  problem but it still does not load. How can I go on now?

    Doublechecking. That's the advice from the  "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

  • Just want to copy sms-texts onto Mac.

    Hello: newcomer with first post, here.
    I don't have a Nokia mobile-phone, yet, but want a Qwerty one, probably the C6 Thunder. However, it is imperative that I am able to copy to my iMac G4, running OS X 10.5.8, all my text-messages. Could some kind soul tell me, please whether it is possible; and, if so, how easy or otherwise is it?
    If it's not on or is a faff I'll bite the bullet – throwing all my money away in the process – and have an iP*one, instead. (Sorry if I've used foul language there.)
    Do please advise. And thank you.
    AF.

    Do a search for Blue Phone Elite. This is pretty handy. Also go to: www.novamedia.de and check out their apps.

  • I just want FF 4, not the ff7 beta, not ff5 that will not say open!

    I have been using ff3.6 for several years and it is great. Thought I would be smart and upgrade, so I d/l ff4 and it started to install then it ‘upgraded to 5" when that was done, it would not start, but asked if I wanted to send an error report, I did. I next uninstalled ff and tried a new clean insatll with ff 4, it started the install and then it needed to upgrade to ff 7. After it installed it was in beta and will not run RoboForm, ANY program that will NOT run RoboForm is NOT worth having !!
    So I have uninstalled all Fire Fox, if you can just point me to a clean version of Fire Fox 4 that will not self upgrade that would be nice.

    You may stop your browser from auto-updating from here:
    * Firefox > Options > Options > Advanced > Update
    And for downloading a clean install packages of Firefox all version you can visit here:
    * [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Versions]
    '''IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions might have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. Thanks!'''

  • I just want to watch a movie I rented

    I rented a movie for 4.99, moved it from my itunes on pc to ipad mini. 
    Synced it. The rental movie still does not show in the ipad video app
    When I plug in the ipad ( to the pc) it is showing as rental content on the ipad.
    It is not showing in the video app, or the itunes libary on the mini ipad. Help!
    I've be at this for 2 hours now....

  • I have a problem trying to answer my security questions for iTunes.  And for some reason the backup email I gave which sends the answers is completely useless to me.  How can I fix this? I just want to watch a movie on iTunes.

    Please help

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • How do I copy Notes from an iTouch3G to an iPhone3G?

    I want to copy Notes, Calendar and Contacts from my iTouch3G to my iPhone3G. I backed up the iTouch3G using iTunes. I tried to do a Restore of that backup to the iPhone3G but it doesn't show that backup file within iTunes so I can't Restore from the iTouch3G backup file to the iPhone3G. Is there a way of copying Notes, Calendar and Contacts from the iTouch3G to the iPhone3G. Both devices have different firmware levels. The iTouch3G has version 5.1.1 and the iPhone3G has version 4.2.1.

    You can only restore one iOS device from another if the iOS on the surce device (iPod in yur case) is equal to or less than that of the target device (iPhone).
    That is why the restore from backup is not working.
    For contacts and calender try sybncing witht eh same programs that the iPod syncs with. You can email the Notes.
