Need help using LR with a 2nd Computer/Laptop

I just installed LR on to my laptop last night. I currently have all my photos saved to my desktop in e:\photos. I belived the sidecars are in that same folder, and the other stuff is in the default c:\docandsettings (or whatever it is).
The laptop is on a wireless network and my desktop's e: drive is accessible.
So last night I wanted to try lightroom on the laptop with the files I have on my desktop. Am I correct in that what I need to do is import files from current location so that I'll only have one version of the photos? If I make changes on the laptop, will the sidecar be changed so I'll see the change when I use the desktop? Or is there a different/better way to do this?
The other thing I want to do is be able to teather my camera (Canon 30D) to the laptop and shoot that way. I was able to do it using Canon's DPP and EOS Utilities software where the photo is writen directly to the hard drive. But when I plug my camera in, Lightroom opens as well. Is there a way to shoot directly into Lightroom? Or shoot to the card so LR opens the file from the camera without having to do a separate import?

Yes it will delete everything.
I'm a little confused at what you are asking at the end.
Does this help at all...

  • Need help using TextPad on my home computer.

    I have TextPad 4 on my computer (I know that there is a newer version, but we use that at school, so I want to use the same one at home). I need to know what all I need to be able to compile my programs at home. There isn't a compile button and I heard that that is because I need to download something. If so, what is it and can you give me a link.
    I have Windows XP Service Pack2.
    Thanks!

    Hi ZebraSalad,
    Firstly, as many people suggested, you need to download JDK. Go to SUN.com and download it. It will show a Download Manager. Then, usually if you choose "offline installation," the file would be at your desktop. Double clicked it and installed it on your computer.
    Then, you need to set your PATH if your program does not recognize JAVAC. Here is the method for Windows:
    Go to Control Panel and clicked on "System." Choose "Advanced" then, Click "Environment Variables"
    Search for Variable called "PATH". Then, set in BOTH "User Variables" and "System Variables" for PATH. The best way is appending this on the last path.
    For example:
    Variable Value
    PATH C:\Program Files\Groovy;
    Then, you need to add this:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1[yourversion]\bin;
    In my computer, I have this version of JDK, so it would be like this:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;
    Then, the result would be:
    For example:
    Variable Value
    PATH C:\Program Files\Groovy;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;
    Hope that helps...

  • I need helping using iAds in my application.

    I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
    I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
    Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
    The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

    I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable? 
    What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream. 
    They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
    want to be put in to it.  Currently I have to make vi's that are
    called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
    the code and send it to them.  This is somewhat of how the config
    file is set up so I know how to make the data.
    Data_Type  foo
    Bytes 30
    parameter_name        
    function           
       byte#          format
    sync              
    foo_sync            
    29               int
    time                              
    foo_time             
    1,2,3,4       double
    If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
    is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
    to recompile the code atleast?  Were I might just be able to make
    the new function and send that to them.
    Any Idea would be great.

    Dear Cynthiaw,
    I just read your Beginner needs help using a array of class objects, and quick of Dec 7, 2006 9:25 PM . I really like your nice example.
    I also want to put a question on the forum and display the source code of my classe in a pretty way as you did : with colors, indentation, ... But how ? In html, I assume. How did you generate the html code of your three classes ? By help of your IDE ? NetBeans ? References ?
    I already posted my question with six source code classes ... in text mode --> Awful : See "Polymorphism did you say ?"
    Is there a way to discard and replace a post (with html source code) in the Sun forum ?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database

    Hi. I need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database. Essentially I want to issue a one-time call to an Oracle Stored Procedure - this procedure will then send an email. I've never used dbms_scheduler before, but here's what I have so far.
    So my Program is a stored database procedure named 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify', but my problem is that I need to pass 3 parameter values to this job each time I run it. This is what I can't figure out. The procedure expects an 'Id' as number(5), begin_dt as a date, and end_dt as a date.
    How do I pass these values when I run my job? Can anyone help?
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_program(program_name=> 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_type=> 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
         program_action=> 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify',
         number_of_arguments => 3,
         enabled=>true,
         comments=> 'Procedure to notify PCM of a Dropper Vacation Conflict. Pass in Dropper Id, Begin_dt, and End_dt');
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
        (schedule_name=> 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         start_date=> trunc(sysdate)+18/24,
         repeat_interval => 'freq=MINUTELY;interval=5',
         end_date => null
         comments=> 'Runtime: Every day all 5 minutes, forever'
    end;
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_job
        (job_name => 'JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         program_name => 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
         schedule_name => 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
         enabled => true,
         auto_drop => true,
         comments => 'Job to notify PCM of Dropper Vacation Conflicts'
    end;
    /And I use this to execute the job as needed...
    begin
        dbms_scheduler.run_job('JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',true);
    end;

  • Please help me, I need to use Flex with CF

    Hi everyone,
    I am starting to retract my brain from an intense 2 days to
    figure out how to use Flex with Coldfusion. I am using Coldfusion 8
    Beta (this part is good, don't need help for CF itself). I am also
    using Flex Builder 2 (with chart but this not the topic). I
    installed FDS 2.5 before to install ColdFusion 8 but I think CF8
    have is own FDS or something like that... anyway, it might help to
    mention it!
    Well, I tried HTTPService, RemoteObject, WebSer vice -
    NOTHING WORKS!!! Argh! Did I mention I spent 2 days? ;-)))
    Well, I start with the basic: a login form with an email (as
    a username) and a password to be validated. I have a CFC to do the
    validation and return a simple message (string): "OK' when it is
    valid and a custom message when it is not valid; depending if it is
    the password and/or the email which is not valid.
    I always got an error. Since the error is different depending
    of the method I use, I will explain the latest method I used in
    this message and try to concentrate on that method specifically!
    The method is WebService and here is the error:
    faultCode:Server.Error.Request
    faultString:'HTTP request error'
    faultDetail: 'Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError"
    bubbles:false cancelable=false eventPhase=2
    text="Error #2032: Stream Error .
    URL=http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc"].
    URL: http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc'
    Any help will be very useful!!!
    Thank's

    Cyber,
    This may be what you are looking for. It worked well for me.
    Flex is sweet, but with the number of people confused about setup
    with CF they sure aren't making any friends.

  • Need help using Apple Remote Desktop for remote family members

    I am new to ARD and need help. I know there are solutions to do what I am trying to do through LogMeIn and Teamviewer - but I have LogMein right now and the free edtition is going away and I think Teamviewer will do the same sooner or later. I have remote desktop but hadnt used it, so I thought it would be a good thing to implement so I wont have to worry about paying fees for services like LogMein or teamviewer down the road.  Long story short I need to be able to remote help friends and family members with their macs and using applications, mostly through screen sharing and control and file sharing. All of the folks id like to help have home ( not business style ) internet service whith DHCP and non-static IP's.  I have set this up for myselft to test it and I can be at work and search my homes IP address and I can see all the macs with ARD on them and it all works perfectly.  I have a mac mini running Lion Server so the ports are forwarded to that server at my home - this is the only think I can think of that is making my home work and my friends not.  But when I try to help my friends and family after I type in their IP and it scans it sees their computer - ( it shows a grayed out icon and their IP ) but nothing else.  I cannot control or screen share. It says it cannot verify.  I helped my friends put the ARD client ( most up to date client ) on their macs as well.  I was hoping that using ARD would mean not haivng to set up my friends and family's routers for port fowarding and all those details.  Is there anything I can do using ARD to be able to type in my friends IP address have it scan and then see all their MACS at their home and pick the one that needs attention/ help, without port forwarding or heavy set up ?  I guess the root question here is how or what is best way to set up ARD to be used to help people remotley when they are all home users as well, no port forwarding, no static-IP, that kinda thing.
    Any help is appreciated - Im trying to use ARD and not a 3rd party app since im afraid even if they are free now they wont stay that way. Please let me know throughts and sugesstions ;p)

  • Need help to start with some file and text manipulation

    Hello script mavens,
    I need help with starting a script that does the following:
    -within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    -moves all the files into the images folder
    -within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    -writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    -then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder and renames in indexX.html
    -in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    The task is more complex but this would help me tremendously do the rest.
    If I am asking for too much on this forum please let me know

    This should get you started.
    The description of how you want to write the data isn't clear, but the rest should work (untested):
    property imageNum : 0 -- last used ImageNumber
    -- within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -- get the folder:
    set baseFolder to (choose folder)
    -- now get the files within it:
    tell application "Finder"
    set fileList to every file of folder baseFolder as alias list
    end tell
    --creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    tell application "Finder"
    set imageNum to imageNum + 1
    set newImageFolder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:"images" & imageNum}
    -- moves all the files into the images folder
    move every file of folder baseFolder to newImageFolder
    --within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    set textFile to (open for access file (baseFolder as text) & "images" & imageNum & ".js" with write permission)
    --writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    write "//-" to textFile
    -- then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -- need more info here
    -- a blank line between each instance of the file name? or all file names, blank line, all file names again?
    -- an example, please
    close access textFile
    --from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder
    --and renames in indexX.html
    --in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    -- the easiest way of doing this is to read the file and write a new copy with the changes - that's easier than changing it in situ:
    set indexHTML to (read file "index.html" of folder (container of baseFolder))
    set {oldTIDs, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "replaceThis"}
    set indexHTML to text items of indexHTML
    set my text item delimiters to "imagesX.js"
    set indexHTML to indexHTML as text
    set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs
    set indexFile to (open for access file ("index" & imageNum & ".html") with write permission)
    write indexHTML to indexFile
    close access indexFile
    end tell

  • I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

    My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
    Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Need help using 1440x1080 footage in a SD 4:3 timeline

    Hi Folks,
    I need to use some AVCHD footage in a normal SD 4:3 timeline destined for a dvd. I'm trying to figure out the best workflow. The client provided a usb hard drive with some files extracted from a Sony hdr-sr5. I know the first problem is ingesting these files. I'm on a PPC G5 so I know using the L&T window isn't an option. I have experimented with using Toast to convert the files to ProRes 422 and that seems to work to some degree. I'm probably not doing it correctly because the footage shows up in FCP looking somewhat squished down and with letterbox bars above and below. In Toast the files indicate that they are h.264 1440x1080. When viewing in the Toast Video Player they get 'expanded' to 1920x1080. So I'm not sure why the footage gets letterboxed when converted to ProRes. So I guess that's the first part of the problem.
    The second issue is that I just need to use the center crop of the image in a SD timeline. It's just talking head stuff so there's no problem cropping down. But I'm just not sure I understand the correct procedure for doing that once I have the footage ingested in the proper format.
    I could definitely use some guidance here as the whole AVCHD thing is new to me.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Can't help with your first question, but create an sd 4:3 timeline. Drop your hd footage into it. It will come in letterboxed. In the motion tab, remove any distortion, scale and position to your liking
