Missing color labels after migrating to new machine

Hi everybody,
I migrated my Lightroom 1.3 yesterday from my old XP notebook to my new Vista notebook by copying my photo folder (including the Lightroom catalog) and installing the same Lightroom version on the new computer. The only difference is that the photo folder is now at c: while before it was at d:.
When opening Lightroom and the catalog on the new computer on the first glance everything looked fine but then I noticed that all the color labels were gone. Other kind of picture-specific modifications (e. g. development settings) are still there, only the color labels are not (I don't use any other labels, so I am not sure if they would have been affected as well).
Does anybody have a clue where the labels have gone and how I can get them back? :-)
Thanks and regards, Robert

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the tip, it seems that an inconsistency here was the problem.
On my old machine I previously used LR in German but when updating to 1.3 I got the English version. So it seems that during upgrading the color labels have stayed in German but when I then installed the English 1.3 on my new notebook it of course installed the labels in English. After changing the names to German I can see the labels again.
Regards, Robert

  • How to re-associate tracks after migration to new machine?

    A friend just got a new iMac, and is slowly trying to manually migrate her data over. I told her to just copy her iTunes folder from her backup into her Music folder on the new machine. Problem is, when she launches iTunes now, it can't find her music...
    I'm guessing it's because she was pointing iTunes on her old Mac to her external drive where all the music was stored. So when she copies that directory to the Music folder on her new machine, it's still looking for the music on the external, right? How do we rectify this issue? Go ahead and point iTunes to the external drive on the new machine, then tell it (via Preferences) to use her Home Music folder as the music repository? Would it then allow her to copy the music over, and keep track of the moved files?
    All very confusing, but I'm sure thousands of others have run into this issue before as well. What's the solution?
    Thanks,

    Trying to re-instal my email history the 'Mail Message Import' dialogue screen says: 'Mail needs to import your messages. This might take a few minutes. You won't be able to use Mail until the import is finished'.
    The problem is: after importing 5,000 messages it stops and the 'Time remaining' only keeps adding up to many hours (17 hours). There are almost 80,000 email messages in my Time machine backup.
    How to get this working? I am even prepared to give up my email history if i can only get my 'Mail' application working again.

  • Can't open iphoto after migration to new machine

    I just migrated from an older iMac to a new one, and now when I try to open iPhoto I get the message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto".  I tried updating iPhoto on the new machine, but it seems to be up to date.  The old library is VERY large (>35 GB), and I don't want to have to go back and deal with touching up all the photos again.  Any ideas?

    What version of iPhoto was on the old machine?
    What version of iPhoto on the new machine?
    How did you move the Library?

  • Question: How do I open CS5.5 after migrating to new laptop w/ Mac OS 10.8.4?

    question: How do I open CS5.5 after migrating to new laptop w/ Mac OS 10.8.4? I received a dialogue box stating I needed to run Java SE runtime (or something to that effect), when I ok'd it, and try to open cs5.5 Indesign, the program quits on startup. If I uninstall program & reinstall, will my documents be unscathed, or are they toast? Help!

    Hi Art Bunny Rabbit,
    Migration from one machine to other causes problem most of the time. So I recommend you to reinstall the software. Done worry none of your documents will be effected.

  • Trouble with color labels not synching between different machines sharing same data drive

    Hi
    I am having a problem that seems to have come up when I started using a mix of PS/Bridge CS4 and CS3, in which color labels I apply in Bridge--primarily to folders--do not retain the color label when I look at the same set of folders on the same external hard drive using multiple, different Macintosh machines, running a mix of CS3 and CS4.  The color labels will appear on one machine and then not appear at all on another.  Note: they don't appear as white labels without a color.  It's as if they were never labeled at all!
    I use multiple Macs to connect to one primary external data drive.  I consistently configure Bridge to export caches to the external drive, and with CS3 any color labels I applied to folders were consistently displayed in the same way on multiple machines.
    Every since I upgraded a couple of my Macs to CS4, I now notice that color labels applied on one machine aren't showing up when I attach my external drive to other machines. I've even noticed a problem connecting to the external drive from two different user profiles on the same Mac laptop (running CS4).
    I have tried resetting the preferences and the cache on all of these machines.  I also then re-toggled the export caches checkboxes on all these machines.  Per some earlier troubleshooting, I have also made sure that the naming convention for the labels is the same on all the machines: "Approved" versus "Green," etc.
    There just seems to be no rhyme or reason for why the color labels are not synching.
    HELP!?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have no clue at all, labels should stay visible after having applied them
    to a file and used purge cache. And they do so on my system.
    Normally there will not be many reasons to use the purge cache option unless
    you have trouble, every time you alter a file it should be auto update the
    preview and thumb, is this not in your workflow?
    Are you still working with same files that were also present on your other
    system and using CS3?
    Have you considered to start from scratch?
    Quit Bridge, from the user library preference folder delete the plist file
    for Bridge to the trash and in the same library from the caches folder /
    Adobe/BridgeCS4 move the cache file outside the user library if you want to
    backup this file (or to the trash if you don't want it anymore)
    Both files will replace itself with fresh ones but the cache needs to start
    all over again building previews.
    Again hold option when starting Bridge first time and again choose refresh
    preferences.
    Set the preferences for Bridge to your wishes and try again.
      However, if I go to "Tools-Cache-Purge Cache For Folder" and purge the cache
    for the folder I'm working in, the color labels disappear.  Is this expected
    behavior?  Shouldn't the color labels be recreated?? Again, I have repeatedly
    purge the cache in this way, have reset Bridge CS4 settings, and have
    re-selected the option to "Export Caches To Folders When Possible."  What's
    going on!?!?!?  Thanks.

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.

    After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.

    This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • Time Machine after migration to new Mac

    So, I just got a new Mac, and used the option to copy settings and files from a Time Machine volume to the new machine. Now that everything's run, though, I can't use Time Machine to backup the new Mac -- it says "Volume not found". I've Googled a bit, but most of the troubleshooting seems to assume that the drive is missing or won't mount -- the drive is there, but the Time Machine software won't use it.
    What are my options here?

    Hi VK
    A supplementray question:
    I have one i-mac happily backing up with Time Machine to an external hard drive.
    I have just bought a second i-mac (stops the fighting!) and propose to use migration assistant to move my [admin] account from the old to the new i-mac leaving two other accounts on the old one. I see from your posts that it seems as if Time Machine will start a new back up series for the new i-mac's back ups. But what about the old i-mac? Will that continue to extend the existing Time Machine back up files, albeit without my transferred account and its files? If so, should I partition the external drive and start the new back ups from the new i-mac on this new partition. I'd like to end up with the old i-mac continuing to build its Time Machine back ups (less my account and its files) and have a new back up series from the new i-mac building to a separate partition on the external drive.
    Does this make sense? I can't see an answer in the forum to what must be a reasonably common issue in this expandin mac world.

  • Time machine after migration to new mac - problem

    After migrating all of the data from a MacBook Pro to a new iMac 27, I discovered a glitch in the Time Machine backup. I kept getting error messages that Time Machine could not back up 560 gigs but my new machine had only 160 gigs on the hard drive for backup. After discussions with the hard drive manufacturer, and an Apple representative, I read on the forum about backing up multiple hard drives. This gave me an idea, and sure enough, I have two additional hard drives daisy chained to the backup hard drive. Apparently Time Machine was also trying to back up the two additional hard drives (which I use for additional backups). After excluding those two extra hard drives in system prefs under Time Machine options, the problem went away. Now for the first time in a few years, Time Machine is backing up only my primary computer.

    Sorry, I was posting this for anyone who had a similar problem. I solved my own question - dufus as I was - and posted this for the edification of others.

  • After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

    Hi rustyg12,
    Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
    You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
    Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
    Fire up DW. See if it works.

  • Time Machine consistency after migrating to new Mac

    I have just migrated my Macbook Black to my new MacBook Silver, and I am away from my Time Machine backup. I have a new account name on my new MacBook Silver, so as to not cause any kind of disambiguation error. How do I continue with my Time Machine backup with my new machine? Is there some way of connecting the data on this new machine with the backup that was generated on the old machine?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I restored my new Mac with the Time Machine from the old Mac. Now I want to keep on using incremental. Why I can't?
    Because it's a new and different Mac, and TM backs up Macs, not just drives, or files and folders. Besides, unless they're absolutely identical (same make & model of everything internal and external), there are different drivers, etc.
    Also, I can't see that option of "Browse Other Time Machines".
    From the TM icon in the menubar, where you normally see +Enter Time Machine+, if you press Option, you should see +Browse Other Time Machine Disks.+
    My problem is, I didn't change any file since the old Mac in any file (except tiny changes), but now it tells me that in order to make a new back up it needs a lot more space than I have in the Time Machine. If I had the old Mac it would simply update an incremental...
    If you'd done a complete restore on your old system, TM would make a complete, new, full backup. It may seem strange, but reloading a file is the same as changing it, as far as TM is concerned.
    Here's the scoop: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
    Think of it this way: TM backs-up everything, not just your "raw" data. Any change you make to a file or folder, even just moving it, means something changed, so TM backs it up.

  • Time Machine won't start after migration to new MacBook Pro.

    I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro.  Both machines are running OS X 10 (10.7.5 on old, 10.8.2 on new).  I used an ethernet cable for the data migration.
    I'm trying to use the Time Capsule we've been using all along for Time Machine, but Time Machine won't start because there's only 5.1GB free on the device and it wants to run a full backup. "The backup is too large for the backup disk.  The backup requires 252.33 GB but only 5.07 GB are available."
    What are my options?  I'd hate to lose prior versions of all the data I've moved to the new machine, but if I have to, then I have to.  But then I'm not sure how to access the Time Capsulre base as a non-backup drive and delete what's there.
    Thanks for yor help.

    Windows in VM is going to know it's on a different machine, so you'll still have to hop through Microsoft's hoops or you won't get updates.
    Just an FYI: when moving a Fusion virtual machine, the first time you run the virtual machine, you are prompted if you "moved it" or "copied it".  Selecting "moved it" will retain the UUID and prevent Windows from prompting for reactivation.  (However, if it is a copy of the virtual machine and you wanted to run both copies simultaneously on the same network, you must select "copied it" otherwise the copies can't run at the same time.)
    If one did select "copied it" accidentally, then just follow the reactivation prompts.  As long as you're not reactivating a lot then it usually will work the normal way over the internet.  Even if you're forced to call, just tell the support rep that you're reinstalling Windows and type in the really long code that they say.  The few times I've had to call, it was less than 15 minutes.  Again, as long as you're not reactivating a lot (so looking suspiciously like a pirate,) reactivation is a pain, but relatively quick.

  • Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

    Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
    We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
    Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
    1. EUL schema
    2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
    3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
    Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
    Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
    Issues: After migration
    Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
    We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
    Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
    Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
    Exporting the accounts will work?
    Thanks in advance.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
    I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
    The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
    So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
    Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
    Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
    Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
    many thanks!!

    Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.
