Moving a LR Database from External to Laptop?

I have a LR Database completely on an external HD, ie. the photos and LR database file are on the HD.  I'd like to move the LR database to my laptop and only store the original files on the external HD.  I'd like to be able to view, keyword, organize the images on my laptop even though I'm not connected to the original images.
What's the best way to do this?  Can I simply copy all the files, other than the original images, from the ext to my laptop?  Anything I should be aware of?

Just move (best copy it and when everything is working delete the lrcat on the external...or just leave it as a back up) the lrcat file (and the associated previews folder, unless you want to rebuild the previews). Double click on this to open. If it has lost track of the location of the folders then just right click on the highest level and point it to the folder location. You can work on the images without them being physically present, but you cannot export or write changes to the files unless the external disk is present.

    I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens.  In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all.  I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

    There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

  • Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3

    Hi,
    We are planing to move few of our Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 on another server. Will offline backup/restore work in this case ? The databases are fairly big (> 1 TB each). Looking for some advice.. Thanks.

    Hi Kamran,
    As the DBs are fairly large ( approx. 1 TB each), how long it would take to copy the databases to the target server using RMAN DUPLICATE .. ? Do you think offline backup/restore would be a better approach ? Both the source and target boxes are co-located in the same data center. Thanks !
    Rgds,
    HimansuI assume that RMAN will be more faster than hard copy/paste (cold backup). I can't say how much it will probably take to take RMAN DUPLICATE, but it should be faster than cold backup

  • Moving oracle 9i database from windows 2000 to windows 2003 server

    hi everybody,
    plz provide me a solution how to move oracle 9i database from windows 2000 server to windows 2003 server with step by step and also with commands plz as i am very new to oracle
    thanks in advance
    suresh

    Install 9i on windows 2003 server and patch to the same level as the Oracle on Windows 2k
    Shutdown and make a cold backup of your old database. That includes datafiles, controlfiles, redo files, init file (spfile)
    Copy and put these files to the exact same directory structure/location, for example if old file is under D:\oradata\mysid\ then the file on new file should be under same directory. (If you are using Network Storage that make things easier, just mapping to the same drive letter.)
    Also make sure archive log dest and all dump dest directories are created. You don't have to copy all old logs and dump files over.
    Use oradim to create a new service for the database instance
    http://www.psoug.org/reference/oradim.html
    Set proper ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID envionment varibles
    Run netca to configure listener, actually copy listener.ora and tnsnames.ora to $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin will do
    Try to start the database

  • Restoring a User Database from External Backup

    It has been a good 8 years since I have had to recover a user database from backup and I just really wanted a verification of what needs to be recovered.
    Just recently had a user get a C00E error and the analyzer suggested restoring from backups. No problem, we run backups daily on the mail server (yes ... we use windows *sigh*) and we use Veritas Backup Exec. to run full/incremental backups.
    In order to recover the user, do I just need to restore the userXXX.db located in the ofuser folder? Since it will be a couple days older, will I need to restore anything else or should that folder alone be fine?
    Thanks in advance for any input.

  • Moving an Oracle Database from Solaris to AIX

    Hi all,
    I have been asked to move an SAP system using an Oracle database from
    Solaris to AIX (on an IBM P590).
    Most of the move is straightforward, except the Oracle database
    transfer. It would make my life so much easier if I could simply
    restore the Oracle datafiles from an off-line backup of the Solaris
    system and then link it to a clean install of the Oracle binaries on
    the AIX system, rather than have to do an export and import.
    Is this possible, after all the AIX Oracle binaries would be the same
    patch level as the Solaris binaries and the file systems would be the
    same. Also as it would be an offline backup we would not have to do
    any recovery, so the archive logs and the original redo logs would not
    be required.
    Does anyone know if this is possible or has actually executed it
    successfully, any hints and tips on the gotchas would be greatly
    appreciated.
    TIA
    Chris aka BoobBoo

    Hello Chris,
    unfortunately you didn't write anything about your oracle version or your backup mechanism like RMAN,etc..
    I think you will use Solaris on a SPARC architecture and not on x86? (same endian)
    If you have RMAN and 10gR2 then you can use the "Database Transport Across Same Endian Platforms":
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/wnbradv.htm
    > RMAN now supports the CONVERT DATABASE command, which can prepare a whole database for transport to a new platform that uses the same endian format. Database transport across platforms provides a faster and easier way to move databases from one platform to another than previous solutions requiring the use of Data Pump.
    Metalinknote #413586.1 has a FAQ and a step on step guide.
    If you have created your tablespaces under Oracle 10g (no oracle upgrade from previous releases!!) you can use the "Transportable tablespace feature" and copy the database files. SAP has published note #1035051 for that.

  • Moving iTunes music files from external to HD that already contains songs

    Okay, here's my situation as best I can explain it:
    I changed the location of my iTunes Music folder to be on my external hard drive a few years ago, which was where all of my iTunes music was until recently. A few months ago, I noticed that my iTunes Music folder on my laptop (my only computer) was starting to have songs in it again. I realized that with an update I did, iTunes changed the folder location back to being on my computer, so any song I had added since that date was now within the folder on my laptop's HD.
    So now, I want to put all of my music back into the main iTunes folder on my hard drive to be the main folder and delete the one on the external. The problem is I can't use the 'Consolidate Library' option because I had to do a restore CD and have duplicate copies of multiple songs, and I don't want to have to go into iTunes and spend more time to fix this, which is why I've been working on this problem manually, adding songs I find on my hard drive that I want into iTunes one at a time. Point is, I don't have enough hard drive space on my computer to consolidate and then delete duplicates.
    So am I going to have to create an entirely new folder and copy contents of both iTunes folders into that one? I did this so long ago, I can't remember how I did it. I know I can't just move the files to a new folder because the iTunes program doesn't recognize the new location unless you put them into iTunes directly, which is not an option because they are within folders and I'm not going to take the time to go one by one through my thousands of folders. Please help.

    Okay, I've done some reading and it seems consolidating is an option if I understand it correctly. So, if I choose consolidate, iTunes will ONLY copy music files that are currently within iTunes and not currently located in the library into the library folder, correct? i.e. It will not copy songs in my Public folder that I have not put in iTunes yet, or any duplicates, right?
    So that way, I could do that which will put any songs from my external into the folder on the HD, and then I can delete the iT folder on my external so that there will be no duplicates, correct? Then I could go about fixing the rest of the random songs floating on my hard drive.
    Has anyone done the 'Consolidate' option and then deleted their original files? There are no adverse effects right? Then I would be free to back up the iTunes library onto my external and all will be well...

  • How to import previous Itunes database from external hard drive into Itunes on new computer

    I need to know how to import a previous iTunes data base that is saved onto an external hard drive into the iTunes library on my new computer

    There's only one way to do this.
    Copy the iPhoto Library from the old machine to the Pictures Folder on the new machine. You have to copy it as a single item. Then open it, don't import it.

  • Moving music and photos from external drive

    Bought a new 27inch iMac for Xmas this week. Today my G5 imac wouldn't boot and has a video RAM error code 2NYD/1/4:2103 and I can't boot in safe mode or from and external drive with carbon copy cloner backup. I am resigned to the G5 being toast. This of course removes transferring files using Migration Assistant.
    My question is can I bring all my iphoto pictures and itunes songs/ library to the new iMac from the external drive and what is the best way to do this ?? Will there be issues with the backup being 10.5 and the new iMac being Snow Leopard ??
    Thanks for any help.

    Read the article I provided and it will give you all you need to run Setup Assistant successfuly. You will need a cable to connect the two machines, the G5 probably only has FW400 and the new machine only has FW800 so you will need a cable like this one. Your local computer store should have one or possibly your local Radio Shack. If you can't find one at either place just order it from Amazon.
    NOTE: There will be no need to drag and drop any files from the external HD to the new machine, SA will take care of it all. SA is also smart enough to not overwrite newer applications on the new machine. For example if the Clone has iLife 08 on it and the new machine has iLife 11 on it the new machine will only have iLife 11 on it after running SA.

  • Moving Service Manager Database From SQL 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL 2012 SP1

    Hi Guys,
    Just looking for some clarification about moving our Service Manager 2012 R2 database to a new SQL Server.
    Our Service Manager database is currently on a remote SQL server, shared with other databases, running SQL 2008 R2 SP2. It was originally setup this way as we only deployed Change Management but we are now wanting to deploy everything, fully
    utilising SCSM/Orchestrator and Cireson's suite. Due to the limited resources available on that SQL server we are seeing performance issues before even getting it all up and running.
    I want to move the Service Manager database to a new dedicated SQL server running SQL 2012 SP1. I am aware of the official DB move procedure but it does not specifically mention moving up SQL versions. I have seen some comments around here that
    it is fine to do but some feedback would be good, it is not something I have done before. 
    All servers in this are fully patched Windows 2008 R2. Also, we do not currently have a Data Warehouse so do not need to worry about that. It was dropped and uninstalled before upgrading to Service Manager 2012 R2 and will be reinstalled after this DB move
    using a separate dedicated SQL server.
    Thanks, Chris.

    As long as your collations and permissions are the same as before it
    should not be a problem. That sad i could not find any other documentation saying it's not supported. 
    I have moved SCSM databases between different SQL-versions before and it has worked fine if the collations etc are correct.

  • Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server

    I want to move my oracle 9i database residing on AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server.
    The database residing on AIX server has the following features :-
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.
    4. It has one schema,around 700 tables & 129 views.....etc
    5. Huge downtime is affordable.
    What is the safest way to do so ??
    Yachendra

    Hi Yachendra,
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.By the way do you have any idea that PRODUCTION databases are always kept in ARCHIVE LOG Mode. It's is highly advice able.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.If you are really serious about your data and don't want to lose anything and wants to perform CROSS PLATFORM you must make sure that you have all your achive logs.

  • Connect on an oracle database from another computer

    hi all,

    i already tried the link from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm but didnt work (or maybe i missed something important).
    What from the link did you try to follow? Did you try to follow the information in the link i posted, specifically ...
    "4.4 Making Oracle Database XE Server Available to Remote Clients"
    Once you have done that. You will need to know the IP or possible computer name of the computer on the network which is hosting the database (it would be easiest if the laptop with the database had a static IP assigned by your router, assuming this is a home setup, and you use that for your connection). You will need that information to create a new connection in SQLDeveloper on the laptop without the database installed.
    Aside from that you may have to deal with windoze firewall issues and the like, but that removes this from being an Oracle question, you should be able to use google to deal with any issues you encounter in that.
