LR 3 move/copy image to a new catalogue

I need to move/copy images from the master catalogue to a new catalogue. when I select the image and in File/export LR asks for a catalogue name and then proceeds to copy the entire folder I am in. How do I copy JUST ONE image? the instructions on the help don't do anygood becuase it indicates options which don't show up.

Thank you, but the problem arises from the LR Help file..What I really want to do is to create a new catalogue of selected images. The Help file says exactly what I want to do BUT:
Export as Catalog
"You can export one or multiple photos as a new catalog.
To export individual images into a new catalog, they
must first be selected. Then, from the File menu, choose Export as Catalog. Also, if
you press Option or Alt, you’ll see the standard Import and Export buttons (bottom
left, Library) change to Import Catalog and Export Catalog; see Figure 9–14.
In the resulting dialog box you must type a name for the new catalog. A folder
will be created using that name. Inside the folder will be the catalog and preview
package, using the same base name. In the Export as Catalog window you also
have the following options:
Export selected photos only: when this is checked, only selected photos will be
exported to the new catalog. Otherwise, all photos from the currently selected source
will go into the new catalog. A text display above the checkboxes indicates this.
Figure 9-14

ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
9 Export negative files: in this case, “negative” simply means the image files on disk.
When this is checked, Lightroom will make copies of the files and the new catalog
will link to those files, not the originals. If this is left unchecked, the new catalog
will remain linked to the original files on disk.
Include available previews: when this option is checked, Lightroom will also copy
the previews from the old preview package into the new one.
You can also export entire collections and folders as catalogs. Right-click or
Ctrl+click the folder or collection and from the popup menu select “Export [folder
or collection] as catalog”. For the export, you will have the same options described
above.
Export catalogs to share them
Exporting catalogs is a great way to share work between different people, multiple
computers, etc."
Nothing likes this actually appears. So what to do??

How to move referenced images to a new Hard Drive

All my Aperture referenced images (about 80.000) are stored at a 300gb firewire HD. That's not enough and I plan to move all my photos to a new HD, 1Tb probably.
I understand that I can't move the images directly from one drive to another. So what's the easiest and painless way to upgrade and still maintain the integrity of Aperture Library ?

{quote:title=Bauhausler wrote:}I understand that I can't move the images directly from one drive to another.{quote}
Well, that's exactly what you can (and should) do. Then use the "Manage Referenced Files..." command.

How do I move an image to a new layer

I'm hoping someone could help. I need to move just one image from a picture to a new layer with a white background. I have tried everything and can't get it to work. If anyone could help with this, I would appreciate it-thank you.

Open the picture you want to copy

Thanks in advance.

Select target images that you want to move the masters for and use - File->Relocate Masters.

Moving movies from old iphone to new computer

My old pc has died and I havew purchased new one and in process of synching my iphone up to it.
My iphone has about 25 home movies on it (not taken with iphone) that were synched up to old computer that I no longer have access to.
These movies appear in itunes in under films when i explore iphone - how do i get these movies copied on to my new computer as there does not seem to be a copy option?
I have music in itunes on new computer and have transferred purchases/apps etc and contacts backed up but worried that i will lose these movies if i proceed to sync...
Help would be much appreciated....

With a Mac, you'd connect the iPhone to the Mac using the USB cable and then launch iPhoto or whatever other photo/movie application you like, and then import the videos from the phone. You should be able to do the same with your PC; use whatever video importer you like, it should treat the iPhone like any other camera.
You can also use this iOS app, but it will only work pictures and with fairly short videos.

How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

When I use Export Project to New Library in Aperture does it create a copy of the images in the new Library?

I am going through my only library now and trying to better organize everything. I am grouping my images into projects by year then cleaning up each year. As I finish a year I use the Export to New Library option to create a library for each year. My question is when I do this and I tell it to Consolidate Masters into exported library does it create copies of the images in the new library as well as leaving a copy in the original library? My goal once I get this completed is to delete the original library but I certainly don't want to lose any of my images. Just looking at file sizes for the libraries I can see that the main library never gets smaller and the new libraries don't really seem large enough to contain everything.
Thanks.

To be honest a 6 year old machine with 4gb of memory and 300gb of disk running Lion and Aperture is not going to give you the greatest performance no matter how you split the library.
You're going to need more disk, What's your backup procedure now? The best performance will be had by getting an external disk putting the masters on it as referenced and having the library on the internal drive.
More memory would be nice but a 6 year old iMac, I think, is maxed out at 4. You'll need to keep other programs running to a minimum when you're working with Aperture.
How much free space is on the internal drive? That will be an issue also. If even with the masters relocated to an external drive cause the internal drive to fill up you'll need to move the library off the internal. If you do that you'll want to go with a FW drive. As long as only the masters are on the external you can get by with a USB but once the library goes out there you're really want to look at FW.
Hope this helps, post back if you have more questions
regards

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.

How to move/copy Home Folder to a new hard drive?

Hard drive crashed in Snow Leopard, but before it did I pulled off my home folder. I am going to reinstall Snow Leopard on a new hard drive. How do I move/copy my home folder to the new hard drive? The home folder is sitting on an external hard drive that connects via firewire 400. Do I simply recreate the user account on the computer with new hard drive and copy/move the old home folder over to overwrite the new home folder? Looking forward to any suggestions.
David

Normally you can move your exiting home dir to another drive without any problems. For example, see
How to Move the Home Folder in OS X – and Why
But you appear to want to take a home dir from another system and make it the home dir on another system. That may or may not work. The operations are the same, i.e., point to the new home dir via the Accounts system prefs advanced options. But if the account id's are not the same there is going to be permissions problems.
Similarly, you can have permissions problems for the same reason just copying the stuff over the newly created home dir.
If you already know the user id's are the same then I think you may just get away with the substitution.

Copy images to new computer, but keep settings in Aperture - How?

My subject pretty much sums it up. I have two computers running aperture. I want to copy my images & adjustments made in Aperture, to the new computer while keeping the adjustments & ratings, etc.
Here's the goal:
1. Download images to my computer for backup.
2. Copy images to External Hard Drive for Computer #2.
3. Let assistant edit/rate photos on Computer #2.
4. When done, copy adjustments/ratings/photos to Computer #1.
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Josh
PS. I tried just copying the referenced files to Computer #2, but it didn't keep the settings.

In that case, if you have 2 machines, here's what I'd recommend:
On the machine you're using for remote shoots, use a managed library (keep the shots in Aperture). On the weekly basis, export the projects from the wedding(s) you shoot in their entirety. Import them to the other machine, and at that point convert to a referenced library.
I don't do weddings but I shoot landscape and this is how I handle managing my shots between the MacBook Pro I travel with, and the Quad G5 I use in the office.

How to move or copy a database to new server

Greetings All,
Oracle Enterprise 11g r2, on a Windows2008 platform.
I would appreciate some advice regarding moving/copying a database to a new server. Some of the information below may not be pertinent to my goal. Please be patient as I am a newbie.
I have installed oracle and created a database (prod03) on the new/target server. I created the same tablespaces (and datafiles/names) as are on the existing/source server (prod01), except that on the new/target server (prod03) there is 1 more data file for the USERS tablespace than there is on the existing/source server (prod01).
My initial thought was to perform a expdp full=y.
The database contains 220 schemas, when I performed an expdp full=y estimate only it indicated 220Gb. I think this would take much more time to export and then import than what I hope to be able to do below.
I would like to be able copy the datafiles from the source server prod01 server over to the target server prod03, some names/locations will change.
One scenario I found (http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm) was to backup the control file to trace on the old/source server (prod01). Copy everything to the new/target server. Tweak the file that creates the new control file.
Step 4 of the above mentioned link says to change
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "PROD01" NORESETLOGS to
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "PROD03" RESETLOGS
Notice the change from REUSE to SET. I am not sure if this is right for my situation.
Could I issue a backup control file to trace on the target server (prod03), add the reference to the additional datafile. Copy over all of the datafiles for all of the tablespaces (users,system/sysaux/undotbs1,temp),
Delete the existing control file, and generate the new control file.
Then perhaps issue a startup resetlogs or startup recover?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

So unless someone provides me with an rman script I can't use rman.google is your friend
Simply telling someone to get the experience dose not help. So your post is useless to me.I suppose you do not have experience with "old-school" manual cloning as well.
Import of entire 200GB DB with datapump or imp will also require some experience otherwise it will be a long-long exercise.
So, basically, any advise may be useless to you, because of your "the fact is I don't have the experience. Nor do I have the time to obtain the experience."

HT201302 iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, but I want to reverse the process and copy images from my desktop Windows PC to my new iPad Mini. Is this possible in some more direct way than through copying several

Instead of copying images (jpgs, etc) from my iPad Mini to my desktop PC, I'd like to do the opposite, that is, copy existing images from my PC files to my Mini without going through a multi-email process which involves resizing the images by experiment.
I hope someday Adobe Lightroom can add this feature, but I'll settle for some simple transfer, perhaps by cable between my PC and my Mini.

You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

Option to "copy photos to a new location" not available

LR 2.7, Mac
I regularly use the import from catalog command to merge catalogs. Most of the time I want to move the images, so I usually select the option to “copy photos to a new location” going e.g. from laptop to desktop.
Occasionally though that option does not appear on the drop-down menu. If it was selected previously upon importing from a catalog, the menu will show a blank entry. If one goes ahead with it looking like that, the computer will hang until one cancels the operation; no images will have been copied.
It just happened again this morning. I had started up the laptop in target disk mode, but LR woudn't let me select to copy the new images. A copy of this particular catalog on an ext. HD wouldn't work either. A copy on any of the internal HDs did work fine though. (I've ruled out permission problems.)
As a workaround I then usually export the catalog from the laptop onto one of the internal HDs and import the catalog from there.
What puzzles me is that most of the time it works fine and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
Anyone seeing this or having any ideas?
