Option to "copy photos to a new location" not available
LR 2.7, Mac
I regularly use the import from catalog command to merge catalogs. Most of the time I want to move the images, so I usually select the option to “copy photos to a new location” going e.g. from laptop to desktop.
Occasionally though that option does not appear on the drop-down menu. If it was selected previously upon importing from a catalog, the menu will show a blank entry. If one goes ahead with it looking like that, the computer will hang until one cancels the operation; no images will have been copied.
It just happened again this morning. I had started up the laptop in target disk mode, but LR woudn't let me select to copy the new images. A copy of this particular catalog on an ext. HD wouldn't work either. A copy on any of the internal HDs did work fine though. (I've ruled out permission problems.)
As a workaround I then usually export the catalog from the laptop onto one of the internal HDs and import the catalog from there.
What puzzles me is that most of the time it works fine and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
Anyone seeing this or having any ideas?
You can reset the browser.newtab.url pref on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Can I transfer files from a Mini running 10.4.11 to a new Mini running Lion? States I need to upgrade Migration Assistant, but I see no viable path I can take. OPtions to get photos over to new Mini?
Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony camera to my iphone4?
Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony point and shoot to my iphone4? It works with photos from my old camera, just not with the new one. When I sync photos to my phone, they come out black. Help!
It's possible they aren't in the right format. See this list to verify you have the correct format. I know some Sony cameras use the ARW interface (known as RAW).
You may want to use a photo converter like photoshop, etc. to get photos into .jpeg or other file formats. -
I always get 'Location Not Available' for one of my contacts in the Find My Friends app. This same friend get's the same message when trying to find me. The app and the iOS software on both iPhones is up to date, the dates and time on both iPhones are correct and both iPhones are in the UK where the Find my Friends service works fine.
There is one condition in which we can see where each other is and that is by having the app open on both phones, this is unlike all my other contacts within the Fnd my Friends app where I can see where they are despite the app not being open on their devices. Can anyone help? It's really bugging us.For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

Find Friends app keeps saying "location not available" on iOS7?
After I updated my 4S to iOS 7, Find Friends will not actually find the person, it just pops up with "location not availble" everytime. I have tried restoring the phone, logging out then back in, and deleting the app then redownloading it and nothing has helped. The person I am trying to find says everything is working well on their end. Help!
My family has 5 iphone 5s's. Two of my kids and myself just upgraded from iOS6 to iOS7. Now, on my Find Friends app, their locations only say Location Not Available. However my wife and and my other child, still on iOS6, their locations immediately appear.
In talking with my two kids that are on iOS7, I have 100% confirmed that THE FIND FRIENDS APP MUST BE OPEN in order for their location to be found. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Furthermore, my kids will not leave the Find Friends app open because it drains their batteries at an extremely fast rate. This is a new issue for iOS7.
By confirm I mean this. On a hunch I called them when their location said not available, and confirmed that their Find Friends app was closed. I asked them to launch their Find Friends app on their phones. I then checked my Find Friends, and suddenly their locations were visible. I then had them close their Find Friend app, and sure enough, my Find Friends immediately showed their location as Not Available.
THIS BEHAVIOR WAS NEVER PRESENT IN iOS6. NEVER!. I have also 100% confirmed that my wife's phone, beside me as as I type this, has all apps closed, including Find Friends. However her location immediately appears in my Find Friends list.
I certainly hope that Apple will fix this immediately. I bought the five iPhone 5s's over a year ago, almost exclusively because of the Find Friends app, so I could keep track of my kids. Never once did we have trouble with Find Friends. And the app did not consume much battery, even when it was open. -
All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available".
All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available."Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe because of the inclimate weather?
This was the only thing that actually worked. I have 3 iPhones, and 3 iPods on my account. All of the devices could see and use our contacts and calendars, except mine all of a sudden. They were there yesterday, and today I went to use my contacts, and poof, gone@!
My settings had been changed somehow, so that my cloud sync was off for calendars, notes, and contacts. I never did this, and my phone is password locked, so my kids couldnt have. I went and turned them all back on, but they wouldnt show any synced data, even though I was plugged in and on my home wifi.
I tried this trick, but starting a new iMessage, add a contact, go and add/edit a contact, and suddenly I could see all the data. All my contacts were there to choose from to edit an existing contact. I edited something simple, and then saved it, backed out, checked my contacts data and calendars, and they magically appeared again.
This seems to be a problem in iOS as the data was apparently there, but not showing. Now I am good. Thanks a ton for the tip!!!! -
Location not available Find Friend error
Find Friend gives an error: "location not available" despite all efforts t fix it.
I deleated Find Friend and reloaded it.
I reset the iphone 5 and set it up as a new phone.
Both iphones 5 work for other FF entries.
What is wrong????
Any help would be appreciated.Who's location is not available? If you are opening FF and it is showing a friend's location is not available, it would not be a problem for you?

Mapped Drive - Location Not Available
I have a small recurring problem that is starting to get a little bit bigger.
My environment is:
Server 2012 Standard, AD, File Server, Print Server. Running on Hyper-V (2008)
Clients are Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.1 all professional.
I have a number of mapped drives that all go to this same file server. If I open a Windows Explorer window on any client and leave it open, after a while (always seams random), I will eventually get an error message saying "Location Not Available"
The contents of the directory I was looking at goes blank when this message comes up. I can click OK and immediately hit refresh on the Explorer window and the contents will come back.
Most of the time this is annoying but I am finding a couple of applications that do not like this behavior. They crash or close connections when this happens.
I have had a Remote Desktop connection open to this server while getting this and it does not get disconnected. I do not see anything that looks related at all in the log files of the client, the server or the Hyper-V host. I have made sure that the drivers
on Hyper-V are up to date as well as all firmware (especially the network cards).
I am not sure if the problem started when I upgraded my personal workstation to Windows 8 (from 7) but that is when I first started to notice this.Hi,
Do you mean the issue only occurs on Windows 8 systems?
Also whether these mapped folders are DFS shares or just normal shared folder?
If DFS is involved, test to disable Client Side Caching to see if it is related. Please add this key in all DFS target servers.
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanServer value=<sharename> cscflags=48
As it is a random issue, it will be difficult to find out the root case. You can try to capture a network trace with Network Monitor when the issue occurs. Let's see if any specific information could be found.
Detailed steps could be found:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812953
Note: As the issue occurs randomly, the package may be large as you need to wait until the issue occurs.
Note2: you can upload package to OneDrive however as is open to public so everyone could see that package.

MAC; OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.
All my photos on the MAC were in events named by me.
Now, with this upgrade, all my photos are without my event names and named by iphoto by date and location (sometimes incorrect). I do not like this at all. I want to return to my events. How can I do this??Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html. -
How do I get photos to show in my collections folders after moving photos to a new location?
After exporting my main folder to a new location along with the .lrcat and .lrdata files, along with my backup files, all of my collections folders show zero images in them. I need to somehow link these files together to get my collections back. The pnotos are there, just not showing in the collection folders.
Whats the simplest and most easily mainted method for storing files? Do folks dump them into one huge file and then sort with Lr collections or do they import into smaller files AND sort with collections.
I would like to back up the mess I have and use collections but not sure if there is an efficent way to do so.
I believe that sometimes you are using the word "file" to mean "folder"
The simplest and easiest way to manage files is to use the default import mechanism in Lightroom, which is to put them into folders by capture date. This takes zero effort on your part. From that point on, you NEVER move them, how simple is that? (there is one exception which I shall explain in a minute) and then you use Lightroom tools ... keywords and other metadata, to allow you to organize and search.
Backups are accomplished by making a backup of both your catalog file and all of your photos.
The exception to never moving your photos is when you need to move them to a new hard disk or new computer, then of course you should move them. -
TSQL to copy backups to a new location
Hello,
I am trying to select the most recent backup of a database and move it over to a new location. However I am unable to assign the top1 max to a variable. Here is my script:
DECLARE @cmd nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @srcbkpLocation nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @destbkpLocation nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @bkpFileName nvarchar(4000)
set @destbkpLocation='\\ServerB\FULL\Backups\NameofDB\'
set @srcbkpLocation='E:\Backups\NameofDB\'
SELECT top 1 @bkpFileName= max(bs.backup_finish_date) as Mostrecent,
bs.database_name AS DatabaseName,
bms.physical_device_name
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset bs
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bms
ON bs.media_set_id = bms.media_set_id
INNER JOIN master.dbo.sysdatabases s
ON bs.database_name = s.name
WHERE
s.dbid IN (6) AND
bs.type = 'D'
GROUP BY bs.database_name,bms.physical_device_name order by Mostrecent desc
SET @cmd = 'xcopy ' +@srcbkpLocation++@bkpFileName + ' ' + @destbkpLocation++@bkpFileName
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmd, NO_OUTPUT
can someone tell me where am I doing wrong?Hello，
The error occurs when you are assigning the column values from a SELECT statement into local variables but not all columns are assigned to a corresponding local variable. To avoid this error, you can try to asssign each column to a
local variable. For example:
declare @date datetime
declare @dbname nvarchar(40)
declare @bkpFileName nvarchar(4000)
SELECT top 1 @date=max(bs.backup_finish_date),@dbname=bs.database_name,
@bkpFileName=bms.physical_device_name
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset bs
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bms
ON bs.media_set_id = bms.media_set_id
INNER JOIN master.dbo.sysdatabases s
ON bs.database_name = s.name
WHERE
s.dbid IN (1) AND
bs.type = 'D'
GROUP BY bs.database_name,bms.physical_device_name
order by max(bs.backup_finish_date) desc
As for the Xcopy command, please verify that the source path and destination path of the backup file is correct.

Can I copy photos from my new iPad mini to an SD card using Lighning to SD card reader?
I would like to copy photos from a camera SD card onto an iPad mini (iOS 8.2), then copy them onto another SD card as a backup. Can this be done and what is required?
The iPad doesn't natively support that. You can get the camera connection kit and import photos but it does not support writing data off the iPad.
There are some wireless flash drives that you can use to export data to that may be doing what you want.
The Kingston WiDrive is one of them but there are others you can search for to find one that works for you.
Another thing to do would be to import the photos, then use something like dropbox to back your files onto (although I personally prefer storage I can control not servers that I can't but I'm old fashioned that way) -
Photo's in different location (not default)?
After backing up, I've recently rebuilt my system. I'm now in the process of re-installing the software, copying files back over etc.
I have 2 partitions on my drive now - System & Data.
iPhoto is running from the Apps folder on the System partition, but I want my photo's to be stored on the Data partition.
How do I do this?
Thanks.
iMac 2.0Ghz 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)To move the iPhoto library (not the actual application) simply move the iPhoto Library folder to the desired location. Option-launch iPhoto, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. iPhoto will open the library from there, and it will be used there by default until you change it.

Restoring from backup to new location + not wanting files renamed
Hi there - I am a newbie to this forum.
I have a Win XP machine that recently needed to have the hard drive wiped and the OS re-installed. Fortunately I had a recent backup of all my data so I'm in a good starting position for a restore. However I have some questions as the re-install of the OS has had a change in profile name.
Before my machine was wiped, I had a "Daniel" profile and so my "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music.
After my PC was rebuilt, a new profile was created called "dnl". iTunes has been re-installed (version 10.1.2.17). The first time I launched iTunes the "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music. I did NOT choose to have iTunes browse/load my files and so currently iTunes shows no files or playlists.
I have recreated the C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music folder from my backup so all the music files and the previous libraries are presently in this location. However even if I change the "iTunes Media folder location" within iTunes to point to the "old" location, it doesn’t find the files or libraries.
I have tried deleting the following files from C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music\iTunes:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
I did this assuming that the next time iTunes was launched, it would refer to the old location (as specified as my "iTunes Media folder location"), find the old library files there and use them. However it seems to ignore them and simply re-creates the files above in the location I deleted them from.
So…I am unclear as to the best strategy to have iTunes point back to the old location to find the music files and retain all the playlists I had.
I found this thread: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364. It mentions a method that will find all the files in the old location and move them to the new location, retaining playlists, artwork etc. Once the data has been copied, it advises to delete the files from the original location.
However I see that it mentions checking the ‘Keep iTunes Media folder organized’ option. From reading other threads I know this to be a source of one very irritating problem – it renames all the file names. I have specifically ripped my music using software other than iTunes for the express purpose of being able to tag the filenames with more specific info than iTunes would. I like the files to named <artist>-<album>-<track no>-<track title>.<file extension> and am not a fan of the very basic filenames that iTunes assigns.
So…I want to have iTunes simply point back to the old location and not do any file renaming. I am happy enough to have iTunes simply point to a location that isn’t technically part of my current profile. I don’t have a desperate need for the files to be moved to the dnl profile.
So…I am guessing there has to be some other file (or registry setting?) that knows where best to point to? Can this modified?
I would be appreciative of any assistance.
Thanks!Hi Daniel, welcome to Apple Discussions.
The default location for the iTunes library folder is <Profile><Music>iTunes with the media folder at *<Profile>\<Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media*. For XP the <Music> folder is My Documents\My Music.
When iTunes starts up it looks for a set of library files in the last location it used. If that location is also the default location and it can't find the library files it assumes it has just been installed and creates a new set.
Changing the location of the *iTunes Media* folder in preferences does not change which set of library files it opens, nor will it automatically detect all the media in that location.
Ideally you should restore the folder iTunes and all its subfolders from your backup into *C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music* and start iTunes. All should work perfectly and, as far as iTunes is concerned, you will be using the same library as you used to. Any iDevices should sync without problems.
If you media was not is the usual locations or you are unable to restore the entire iTunes folder then things become more complicated. Post back if you still have trouble and I will try to go into more detail.
