Move photos and catalog without loosing folders

Hi , I need to move my PSE 7 catalog from my current hard disk ( old HD)  to an other HD (new HD).
My needs are:
1) that of moving the fotos to the new HD so that they maintain the folder structure they are in the old hard disk.
2) I also need the catalog to move in the same new HD ad
3) I need then the catalog to see the fotos in the old folder structure but now in the new HD
4) no lose the tagging.
Thank you !!!

First, I suggest that you read here:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
Look specifically at the pargraph about using Folder Location view.
However,  I also suggest that you describe in more detail
-- about your new and your old hard drive before you start moving files. This is not a cloned drive situation, is it? Will your new and old drives have different serial numbers?
-- do you also want to move the catalog file itself (?) as I was not clear on that. Where is your catalog now?: is it in the default location? Note that Moving the catalog would be a separate action using the File > Catalog commands.

  • How do i move photos and catalog to a new drive and have lightroom make the same move

    I am trying to move all my photos to a new drive with different drive letter.  I know I can do a backup and restore inside PSE13 to perform that.  However, I also have Lightroom 5 on the current setup.  How would I now use the new location for the photos in lightroom if they are already moved by PSE?
    Hope this makes sense!

    I don't recommend the Time Machine or Migation Assistent approach. The first tneds to be very slow and the second often carries baggage that is probably best not transferred to a new computer.
    Lightroom doesn't use activation, therefore, can be installed on your new Mac without having first removed it fom the old. Your images and catalogs can be copied across to the new Mac using an a portable disk drive as the transfer medium. Typically, on Mac computers, the catalog and image files are stored in the Pictures folder. If this is where you have them then then copy them to the same location on the new Mac. Once copied you can open the catalog folder then double click on the .lrcat file to launch Lightroom.

  • Move photos and catalog to different PC

    I have all my pictures (in directories) and the catalog in one root directory of a given drive.
    I need to move to a new PC where the drive name for the root directory will be different.
    What is the right way do to it for LR3?
    Thanks

    You need to copy to the new machine:
    The image files (obviously), and include any sidecar (.xmp) files
    The Lightroom catalog (.lrcat) file
    Any presets you've created (in subfolders of the "Lightroom settings" folder, which itself is in the same folder as the catalog)
    If you've added any camera profiles to the Adobe-supplied ones, they're in C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw (that's W7, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw for XP)
    I think that's all you need.  You don't need to copy catalog backups (but don't delete all your backups, obviously), and you don't need to copy previews (LR recreates them when needed).
    If the images aren't in the same place on the new computer, then when you go in LR (after you've pointed it to the catalog), click the top folder in your folder list, and it will grumble that it can't find it, and you can tell where it's gone.
    Obviously, don't delete anything from the first computer until you're happy everything works on the new one.
    PS - this is such a comment requirement, perhaps Adobe should put a section in the help file about it.  If it is there, I can't find it!

  • How do I move all photos and catalog (PE 6)  from local computer drive to network server drive?

    I'm using PE 6. I have about 40 GB of photos all organized and cataloged on my local PC's hard drive. I have just installed a home server that is networked and want to move/migrate all the photos and catalog information/organization from my local PC drive to the home server's hard drive. Basically, just moving everything to a new drive. I then need to point PE 6 to this new location for the photos and catalog information. All advice on how to do this would be appreciated?

    I just got done doing this and I'm not so sure I'd recommend it.
    #1 reason: The #$%%#$ Organizer has REAL PROBLEMS figuring out network path names. It has this really nasty habit of thinking, say, \\homeserv\photos, \\Homeserv\Photos, and \\HOMESERV\PHOTOS are DIFFERENT paths. And depending on how you use it to navigate, or drag and drop files onto it, or teach it to watch a folder on a network drive or whatever, it uses variants on these kinds of path names. This leads to problems like duplicate imports that are really the same file.
    What a ***.
    You MIGHT have better luck if you use a mapped drive letter to make this work. Sad. The rules for writing WinApps to NOT NEED mapped drive letters have been common knowledge to developers for a decade. Just not Adobe developers, apparently. Beyond sad. Pathetic.

  • Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

    Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

    Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml.  Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
    Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library.  It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like.  I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
    Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question.  Good luck.

  • Import photos and video into different folders

    Hi, is there any way to import photos and videos into seperate folders?
    I use lightroom to manage my photos and videos, but the videos are much larger so I prefer they are stored in a different location.
    I can import them together and drag the photos to a new folder, but this does not create the same folder heirarchy as importing them would.
    Currently I import once for photos and onece for videos, but I'd prefer to just "import"
    Thanks!

  • Restore photos and catalog together on new computer?

    I recently had a computer crash and want to migrate my photos and changes from my old hard drive into my newly installed Lightroom software on the new computer.  I recovered the old drive, and accessed it from my new computer.  I found the most recent Lightroom catalog and imported it.  Then I imported all of my photos into Lightroom.  The problem is that the catalog and the photos don't seem to be talking to each other.  In the catalog, the photos are there all bunched together, no folders separating by date.  In the photo folders that ARE separated by date, the original photos are there as they were first imported (RAW files), but don't have the develop changes that I made to them.  How can I get these two things to link up?

    I think the easiest thing to do is to follow these instructions from scratch, rather than trying to fix what you have already done

  • Mac won't start following change of permissions. I have started In recovery and run repair disk and reset permissions to all disks inc backups. What do I do now to get the mac up and running without loosing thousands of pics and all other data? I

    The problems occurred after photoshop elements said I did not have the necessary permissions to save changes to a photo. I then allowed all to permissions to all disks, I have three external hard drives but I cannot restore from any as they all appear to have some kind of problem. I have repaired all disks in recovery mode and verified all inc mac hd. All permissions are repaired and all disks are saying repaired. So where do I go from here to get the mac back on running mavericks without loosing thousands of photos and all other data ?
    Do I need to reinstall Mac OS ?
    The only options I get to reinstall is mountain lion?.. I have been running the latest mavericks .?.
    Do I reinstall and then update?
    The external drives are not smart drives so how do I ensure I retain all my files?

    your best option is to connect an external drive and reinstall OS X on that external to run the system from. then copy all your files over to the new install for safe keeping. then try doing a reinstall of Mavericks over the top of the current install on the internal drive and test.

  • Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
    And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
    Thanks!

    Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.

  • How do I move photos and mp3s from my old G4?

    I have an old G4 running an older version of OSX. I couldn't upgrade it any further because of the power PC.. We I just got a new 27" iMac and it is STUNNING! I love this machine!
    I am having trouble moving the photos and music. The migration assistant doesn't seem to find my old G4 on the network. Any tips?

    try connecting the macs directly by an ethernet cable. MA should be able to find it then. also, you can connect them by a firewire cable (you might need to get a firewire 800 to 400 cable if you don't have one), boot the old mac in target mode and run MA that way. lastly, if you have an external USB drive you can clone your old mac to that drive (use Superduper or CCCloner for that) and move the drive to the new mac. then run migration assistant on that.
