Moving files in Windows 7 Pictures Library

I am trying to select 300 non consecutive photos out of the 600 photos in one folder to move to another folder. I use left shift and start to click on the required photos. As soon as I do this, Windows makes a copy of all the files and I have
to delete them and try again. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't. Has anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks, Janet

I normally use a Logitech wireless mouse so I have gone back to the HP wired mouse which came with the computer. Unfortunately the result is the same and the photos are copied almost as soon as I hold down the Left Ctrl Key and click on a few of them.
Sometimes it happens as soon as I click on the first photo but on other occasions I can click on 4 or 5 photos before it copies all of them. I have tried holding down the Ctrl key while I click the photos and also just pressing the Ctrl key and clicking one
photo, then repeating for subsequent photos but to no avail - the photos are copied every time.

Folders Missing in Windows 7 Picture Library

Very new with this software...watched several videos, and I'm still confused. Went to send some pics to a friend last night, and noticed that many "folders" are not in the pictures library in Windows 7.
In LR4, some folders have a destination of C://users/eric and brenda/windows/pictures...which is great, but others have this destination C://Brandon(which is just the folder name).
What did I do wrong, and how can I get the folders in the Windows Library?
Thanks.

LR's not a file browser, so it doesn't know anything about your photos until you import them. To do so, you go to File menu > Import Photos or press the large Import button. If you want them to stay in their current folders, make sure you select the ADD option at the top of the import dialog.
For your different folder names, it's probably just not showing the full path, which is very easily changed. Rather than confusing you with vague instructions, do you know how to take a screenshot? If I can see a screenshot of the LR Folders panel, I should be able to tell you how to solve that.

Moving files and folders in the Library module

I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders.
3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name. I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?

Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

I lost the edits of photos ; moved files in Windows Explorer

Hello, I lost the edits of photos because I moved files/folder in Windows Explorer, also renamed a few.
I have a backup of the old (valid) catalog and of the old file structure/ filenames that I made with robocopy.
But I dont know how to get this "old version" in my actual catalog. I did not use xmp-files.
When exchanging the actual catalog with the old one and copying the files from backup to the original place, I have the edits backup. But on this state all my "newer" edits are gone. Logically...
Can you help me?

I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

Moved file from Windows XP to Windows 7 - reason sound is bad?

I can access my ITUNES after moving file from XP to laptop which uses WIN 7 but the sound is awful when playing through ITUNES. Music much better when played through WINDOWS Media. The equalizer doesn't seem to be engaged. Is there a setting that might be getting in the way or do you think it's the way it was transferred .... or something else. GENIUS's at stores offer no help since my laptop isn't an APPLE. No sympathy there either.

The equalizer doesn't seem to be engaged
Is it engaged?
Check the EQ and check the settings in iTunes prefs -> Playback

After moving files out of the iTunes library they still show in the iTunes list

I am archiving movies out of my iTunes library. I have moved the files from the iTunes media folder and into another folder but the movies still show up in the iTunes movie list in the main iTunes window. I am sure there is some kind of link to the file but do I need to break that somehow or can I refresh the iTunes list so it will see that the files are no longer in the media folder?

An easier way is to simply drag movies/songs from the iTunes window to where you want.
Then delete it in iTunes.

When you add files to iTunes, it adds them to the iTunes library database file and this is what is displayed in iTunes.
I f you remove the file from its location, iTunes will not know until you try to access it in iTunes. It will then show an exclamation mark if it cannot find that file.

Moving files to Windows Media Player

how do I move music from I-tunes library to Windows Media playlists? It used to be drag and drop.

Just use the files themselves, not iTunes. Use Windows Explorer to find where your files are stored and then drag and drop those into Windows Media Player.

Permission issue with moving files for windows

We run Quickbooks Enterprise on Macs. Parallels / Window 7 on iMacs for the client and data is on a Mac Pro. I am trying to move the data to an xserve, but the permissions get modified and quickbooks does not work, it gives me a -6000, -83 error.
The permissions on the Pro have "nobody Read & Write" and after the move to the Xserve they become "ghoberg Read & Write". I tried the following methods to move the data and all of them had the same results:
1) Copy;
2) ditto /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Shared\ Points/Windows/Quickbooks
3) ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Shared\ Points/Windows/Quickbooks
4) ditto /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Users/graysonh/Documents/test
Any advise on coping the data over and keeping all the same permissions, etc?
Any other thoughts on moving Quickbooks over to the the xserve?
I can't get support from Quicken, because this is a windows software. We have been running windows quicken on macs for 4 or 5 years
Thank you
Grayson

Moving Files NTFS (Windows) to external drive to Mac

I have some files from a windows computer which has a hard drive format of NTFS. I need to get it onto my Mac which is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have an external hard drive that i use for editing videos with final cut normally. I want to know what format I should make my external hard drive so that I can transfer files from the windows pc to my mac.
when i go to 'disk utility' it only gives me a bunch of different Mac OS Extended things (either Journaled, Case-Sensitive, or Case-Sensitive Journaled), MS-DOS (FAT), or Free Space.
will any of those work? if not, what do i do?

i tried plugging in my external hard drive which was formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and the windows computer (NTFS) wouldn't recognize it.
But I am transferring video files that were shot in HD, so they're larger than 4GB's sometimes.
what do you mean by installing MacDrive on the PC?
also, how would i network the computers without using the drive?
also, new side note, the PC ONLY has USB ports on it :/
i'm not the one that owns the pc, some guy owns it and has all this footage he shot on a crappy camera and i have to get it off his computer and on mine to start editing it. i'm in a real big jam here

Moving files and geting "!" on library

I upgraded my hard drive, and wanted to move my music library from an external drive to the bigger internal drive. But even though I copied the music files to the hard drive, the library looks to the external drive. If the external drive is turned off, it can't locate the files and I get the dreaded "!" in the left column, I know there must be way for the system to automatically re-index and find all those files (isn't there?).

Thanks, but this didn't work. Funny thing is, that I can find each song individually by simply searching for it, and it is on the hard drive. Under the main music folder on the hard drive, however, are a bunch of library subfolders, presumably created at different times. Do you think I should move all the contents into the main folder? But how do I get it to find and index everything?

Cannot edit JPG, GIF files stored in a SharePoint 2010 picture library

Created a SharePoint 2010 picture library to store .jpg, .gif images along with other types of images which were created using Adobe photoshop, Tiff etc.
Upon clicking on the .jpg, .gif files for editing purposes, they open in the browser instead of Photoshop so I cannot edit these files for this reason. Other types of image files are editable but not the jpg, gif files. File associations are already
in place for these files to open in Photoshop. Please advise.
Thank you,
Mahesh

You can change the default application that opens while you click open document using DocIcon.xml which is present on the web front ends. Please look at this link which explains what you need to update in order to take care of your requirement.

Moved video files to windows drive and now

I have an issue related to moving files from iPhone to my Windows Computer, files got moved without any error. I had never imagined this would happen. This all happened in 2 hours.
1. I moved few of video files total size 2GB from iPhone to Windows Drive.
2. Then went up to sync using iTunes without anything in Camera Roll.
3. Then Erased All contents.
4. Got the phone replaced from Apple Store.
5. Now came back home and shocked to see the files are not copied properly and see attached for details.
I was checking to see is there any remote chance of recovering the original videos that i record, or have to lose those memories for ever. It's all my kids videos that i shot for the first day school this year. Any experts out there please share your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks.
PS: I don't have any itunes backup or any other backup of my media on iPhone. I regret as i should have synced with iTunes, or synced with any cloud service, or at least do a copy paste and verify the files, when the iPhone is detected as a disk on Windows Machine.
