Re: Is it possible to move photos?

I am in a world of hurt right now trying to get this right. You know Adobe needs to do only one very simple thing to fix this.
lets say this crazy user imported half his crap to the wrong folder. I can manually import photos to the correct location, or using a new catolog move / add the photos return to the last catolog to find half my photos missing. at this point LR allows you to 'find missing photos' If you find one missing photo it magically finds other missing photos from the same folder (exact same date) If Adobe would only allow its app to go out a directory or two when finding other missing photos this problem would go away for me, and its super easy to do, and it does not open up adobe to any new issues, only fixes a huge amount of mistakes.

Why not just have Lightroom locate the top-level missing folder(s)?
If you are in folder panels, they should show a question mark. Right click on the question mark and locate the folder. If all of the folders are in an upper level folder that you can't see you can show it by right clicking on the folder and selecting "Show Parent Folder"

Is it possible to move photos in an event into a smart album?

Is it possible to move photos in an existing event into a smart album?

Put another way:
No. An Event is a place. A Smart Album isn't a place, it's a list. It's the answer to a Question: "What are all the photos with this keyword?" "What are all the Photos with this date?"
So, nothing in a Smart Album is moved. It remains in it's original location and is simply listed in the Album.

Is it possible to move photos?

I need to MOVE photos from my iphone 5 running ios 7.1 to pc running windows 8. i cannot find an option in itunes. Please help me on this.

iTunes isn't used to move photos from phone to the computer (it can move them the other direction from the computer to the phone).
The following has instructions on how to get them from the phone to the computer and it has a section for Windows 8: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Move Photos from one Catalogue to another

Is it possible to move Photos from one Catalogue to another one?

Not directly.
You could delete a photo from one catalog, and import it into another catalog.

Is it possible to move the brush overlay that you have synced to a new photo?

Lets say you use the adjustment brush and highlight only the subject of the photo to brighten it up and make adjustments. Then the next photo you have is almost identical, except it is framed a little differently. So, when you sync the settings from the previous photo to this new photo (including the brush adjustments), the overlay mask will mimic the previous photo and will not line up with the subject in the new photo. Thus, my question is, is it possible to move the overlay mask in the new photo after the sync so that it can match precisely over the subject?

No.

Can I move photos from one roll to another?

I know I can drag and drop photos from folders and albums into other folders and albums. But I wasn't able to do this when looking at the "roll view". Is it possible to move a photo from one roll to another?
Thanks!

Yes it is, in the Library, in Roll view.

How do i move photos from event to album?

I cannot figure out how to move photos in iphoto from events to a new album, and did not find any answer in iphoto help. I have a lot of files that I'd like to drag and drop if it is possible to do that. I am using iphoto 2010. Also, is there a keyboard shortcut to highlight a photo and call up a list of albums or events to move it into? I find the individual drag and drop process very sensitive and time consuming, would prefer to move as I do with folders if that is possible.

1. You can't move a photo from an Event to an Album.
Events are a view of the Library. Every photo is in the Library. Albums references the photos from the Library, so you can add a photo to an albums (actually as many as you like) but the photo remains in the Library.
2. Yes, you can drag a photo from a Event to the Album listed on the left hand pane.

Iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. When I deleted some, I found that the event still shows up with a blank frame. Can I move some photos to an external hard drive but leave the pointer in iphoto?

iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. I would really like to move tsome of the older photos to an external hard drive. (They are backed up in Time Machine, but I like the immediacy of having them available.) So question 1 - is it possible to split the iphoto library so that the directory tree points to an external drive in some cases? And if that doesn't work--I am willing to export and delete some of these photos. However, an earlier delete left me with events that have a name in the event folder, but no photos. Question 2 -- How do I properly delete photos so that all references disappear?
example:

Warning: Time Machine is not an Archiving application. It keeps rolling back ups. That means if you delete something from the source Mac it will eventually be also deleted from Time Machine. How long that takes depends on the amount of disk space TM has. So, remember, backing up in Time Machine is not the same as Archiving.
For the blank thumbnails: This can happen if you try delete too many photos at one go. Experienced users suggest you should delete in batches of 100 or so.
Yes you can split the Library, where some of the Masters are stored locally and some on an external disk, but really, you don't want to do that. iPhoto's file management tools are limited at best, and if the path to the files changes then you could find yourself repairing the links to the files - all of them, one by one.
Better: Have your entire Library on an External Drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you want to have a smaller library on your internal disk:
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Is it possible to move files from corrupted sectors hard drive to a replacement one?

My 2011 macbook pro was recently diagnosed with bad sectors. I am looking to get a replacement hard drive, probably a 750 or 1 tb Seagate SATA. Do you think that is sufficient? I do not play games or do anything memory intensive. The most I do is watch a lot of movies.
Also, is it possible to move files from a corrupted sectors hard drive to the replacement? If so, how would I go about doing this?
Also, for the operating system, it is probably wrong, and can't check since my Mac pro won't get past half way on the start up loading screen.

Try a sector copy with CCC and enable using checksum file copy to insure integrity.
Then Data Rescue 4 - try demo before buying
Do a full erase of a drive before reusing.
Invest in SoftRAID.com going forward as it "looks for" weak sectors, alerts.
Also Google around but SMART Utility has been mentioned as an excellent program/utility -
When a drive has used any of its spare blocks from when it ships is #1 indicator of being time to replace.
And of course always have multiple backup sets, methods and know how to use and restore from. Even do a practice set. I would not use just TimeMachine for instance.
And for some, only a mirror array (minimum two but really consider three drive mirror, with stripe reads to improve performance) can allow pulling one, add a new member and still have a two drive mirror.
Cloud storage for backup. With OneDrive and Facebook backing up all the photos on all your devices, Macs and PCs as well as tablets and phones, you can have 100-200GB quite easily. And there is Google Drive and Amazon as well as others.
A new data drive, a drive to do all the recovery of files that were on the failed drive(s), and probably a clean system drive and use that as you recover and build your system back up.

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.

Hard Drive Failing, Need to Move Photo Source Folders

How does one move photo source folders from one drive to another in PSE11 without loosing the file links?

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Move photos from one roll to another?

Hi,
I have iphoto 6 and was wondering if I can move photos from one roll to another existing roll? When I moved photos from an external drive, photos that should have been lumped together ended up in different rolls so I'm trying to sort everything out. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Yes you can as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Using the View -> Film Rolls command, you'll see the Rolls in the iPhoto Window, and you can drag a pic to the Title of the target roll.

Can't move photos into albums

Hi there,
ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.
