Lightroom moving to a new PC

I want to move Lightroom 5.3 to my new lap. How to manage a registration?

No difference. The Windows download includes both versions, and the installer will use the correct version automatically. The same serial number is used in either case.

  • Upgrading & moving LR to new computer

    Hello! I would love some help.
    I have a question with a few question in it!
    I have been using LR3 for 2 years and have one catalogue that has been on the same computer the whole time.
    I just bought a new mac and want to do 3 things:
    1. Get LR on to my new computer (yes I still have the cd and #)
    2. Upgrade to the newest LR (5 I think)
    3. Get my catalogue that I have been using for 2 years on to the new computer  and have it work with LR 5
    I want all these things to work together, I am hoping that I will be able to upgrade to LR5 and still be able to use my old catalogue.
    So my question is what should I do first? Get LR on new computer, then upgrade, then transfer catalogue and will it all work like that.
    I would love any and all help!  -- thank you - Alibaba

    Separate the two tasks.
    Upgrade on the same computer, once you are sure everything is working, then move everything to the new computer; OR
    Move eveything to the new computer in LR3, once you are sure everything is working, upgrade to LR5.
    It probably doesn't matter which order you this.

    Also, throughout this entire process, do not use this as an opportunity to rearrange files and folders for any reason, do not try to "clean up" your folders or make the more logical. Move them to a new computer yes, but other than that, no rearranging or moving files or folders from here to there.

  • I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work.  Can you help?

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

  • Moved to a new Mac - iTunes Media horro

    Hi,
    this drives me crazy: I moved to a new mac and can not get my iTunes to work.
    iTunes just does not find my media files.
    My old setup on a PowerMacG4 was:
    folder iTunes with libraries in my home folder, but the music was on another volume
    So inside the "iTunes Music Library.xml" (thats how it is named in the old iTunes) there is the entry
    <key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/</string>
    pointing to the folder on the volume where my media files are.
    Every media file has an entry in the xml, where the key "Location" points to the exact folder the file is located, e.g.
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/Alexandra/Die%2 0Legende%20einer%20Sa%CC%88ngerin/Mein%20Freund,%20der%20Baum.MP3</string>
    I used "Migration Assistant" to move data from old disks to the new mac. Having connected the old volume blabla new iTunes found the files.
    Having renamed the volume blabla iTunes still found the files and replaced all Location references. Magic?
    So i copied all the media to my new mac to a new location and told iTunes (prefernece location of iTunes media) where my media files are.
    Does not work. It still believes the file are on volume blabla. It never looks into te files copied to the new location!
    Hmmm, so i looked inside the "iTunes Library.xml": The "Music Folder" is set correctly, but the files location points to the old volume.
    Doing a replace for all locations in the xml doesn't work either, probably the itl-file holds the same information?
    If i start iTunes again, it ovewrites all my changes made to the xml.
    Not giving up yet, because I have read that if the itl is invalid, it gets rebuild from the xml i zap the itl and start itunes again. -> no more media files in the library.
    I do not understand where iTunes stores its information, why there are two Library files (itl and xml) and which one is leading.
    Please: how can i get itunes to recognize my media files.
    This is the worst interface I've ever seen. I only want to move my media files and iTunes just does not let me do it :-(

    The iTunes Library.itl file holds the key information. The .xml file is for third party support. If you have access to a working version of the library on the old machine then you can use the process in this thread to make your split library portable. Since the media has already been copied over you would then just need to copy the library files again while putting everything into the correct layout.
    If that isn't possible it may be that you can trigger iTunes into fixing your broken links. Having set the media folder to the correct path in preferences, highlight a single broken tracks and attempt to Get Info. When iTunes complains the tracks is missing use the option to locate the track. iTunes should offer to attempt to fix other broken links based on the path to this one.

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

    I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?  Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

    The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
    The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
    The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
    It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
    If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
    Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

  • I moved to a new computer and need to transfer my settings

    How do I transfer all of my settings with my pictures in a catalog to a new computer.  On the old computer photos were located in C:\data\Pictures.  On the new computer they are located in d:\data\pictures.  When I open my 2014 catalog it does not find the pictures and when I import them I don't have any of the settings saved, such as those flagged, starred, or edited. I have about 60,000 pictures. How can I get this all back? I am lost! Thank you!

  • How do I download and install Lightroom 5 on a new MacBook Pro, as I have replaced the original MacBook Pro that it was installed on when I purchased it 9 months ago?

    I purchased - downloaded and installed Lightroom 5 on my old Macbook Pro in June, 2014.  I have since replaced that computer with a new Macbook Pro.  I uninstalled Lightroom from that computer.  I would like to download Lightroom 5 onto my new computer, but none of the codes I have are working.  How can I download it without having to re-purchase it?

  • Moved to a new address - Activate without a Technician?

    I moved to a new apartment within the same building as my old apartment.  The apartments are FiOS Ready, so I don't have to worry about running wires, installing an ONT, etc.   In fact, the apartments were wired with ethernet ports specifically for FiOS when they were built, and I have already identified and configured the switch in the closet/ wall which controls which ethernet port in the various rooms is used for FiOS.
    I've terminated and moved my FiOS service from my old apartment to my new apartment via My Verizon already.  However, the soonest date the online scheduler listed to have a technician come out is a week from now (which I've scheduled).  It is completely unacceptable for me to be without internet for a week.
    Can I activate my moved FiOS service without a technician needing to come?

    You will need to call customer service and see if they can change you to a self install or change your tech date. either way you need customer service.

  • I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700.  I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help...

    I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700.  I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help...  Is there a plug in or update I can get?  I can't afford new software after new camera and new lense!

    Lightroom 1.4.1 does not support native (NEF) files from the D700 because the camera didn't even exist when it was released. To get support you have two options: upgrade to Lr 2.x (paid for upgrade) or convert your NEF files to DNG.
    DNG converter 5.4 can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (see right hand side of page)
