Remedy to photos in both LR2 and LR3 Beta Catalogs?

I don't mean to repeat the prior discussions, but I have a problem that appears common, and I want to ask whether the experts think my proposed solution is going to work.
I have lots of pictures in my LR2 catalog. I upgraded to LR3, and they came in fine to become the new LR3 catalog.
I joined the LR3 Beta2 just a couple of weeks ago. I imported a single shoot into LR3 Beta that was already in LR2. I was anxious to try the noise reduction and sharpening, which are both a huge improvement over LR2.
As predicted in these Forum threads, the duplicated shoot does not come into LR3 from LR3 Beta2. I would like to make this shoot part of my LR3 catalog. My question is: can I acheive that result by removing that shoot from the LR3 catalog, (but not from my drive) so that the duplication is gone. Would that cause the catalog to come into the LR3 catalog from the LR3 Beta 2 catalog? Is there any other step I must also take? Please let me know.
Thank you.

TS1292 Purchased gift cards about a year ago. Misplaced two of them. Found them yesterday, tried to use one today. Invalid. If the money is tagged to the card code why is it invalid? Now have to take photos of both sides and find receipt? Guess out $20?

Purchased gift cards about a year ago. Misplaced two of them, but Found them yesterday. i tried to use one today. Invalid. If the money is tagged to the card code why is it invalid? Now have to take photos of both sides and find receipt? Finding the receipt might take as long as .finding the cards. If I paid hard earned money for the card from a computer company why would that card not be in their data base waiting to be activated? I guess I am out $20 to Apple for not activating immediately! My account was hacked once so I won't put a credit card in and live with gift cards. Now I am getting hit for $20, two gift cards for ten each. I now question who and how people are making money?? Is my only solution, buy card, redeem code instantly, purchase item?

Syncing photos from both aperture AND iphoto

Hi,
I'm a user of iPhoto and Aperture. I use both but for different needs. I used to sync my photos to AppleTV from iPhoto. But now, I would also like to sync from Aperture... It seems that iTunes keeps the settings for both software but can only sync from one at a time... Is there a way to sync photos from both sources at the same time on AppleTV ?
Thx !

Hi,
To keep you informed of my findings...
I decided to export photos from Aperture and iPhoto that I want to be displayed in a folder under the Pictures folder. Then, I ask iTunes to sync photos from that folder instead of Aperture or iPhoto... Seems to work fine so far...

LR4: upgrading LR2 and LR3 catalogues [was: reee]

hey i am just wondering. i own lightroom 2,3 and 4. 4 is better than 2 and 3. i am thinking of getting rid of 2 and 3. but i am wondering what a happnes to the catalogs i created in 2 and 3. can i update a catalog to a newer lightroom without having it change the files? i have been wondering about this for a while. there has been thought. about just using folder idesa instead of catalogs. meaning i creatie a folder with the clients name, under there theres raw, psd and jpegs. that way the edited psd fils can be edied in any lightroom that way i can use of with any lightroom. bec the catalog thing keeps anoying me somereason. and it auto maticly upgrades the files. why i dont know.
then i am wondering how close are yalll coming along with lightroom touch for ipad? bec i am supper excited for it. i own a ipad 2. but i am planing to jump to ipad 4 or 5 with more storage.

no i have not. thats bec. i own ligthroom 2, 3 and 4, and i am renting 5. see i am just wondering what happens if you do upgrade the catalogs, does it change or take a way from old catalog?
see my idea is. bec i own 2, 3 and 4, and i am just renting 5, bec i am adobe creative cloud member.
see i know that adobe does not keep updates for older software. like from cs4-cs5.5, and lightroom 2-4. thats fine. the reason i am wanting to sell 2 and 3 lightroom and keep 4.
see the reason i have 2 and 3, is bec. my cameras, i own a rebel xs and t3, as of right now. but i am also planing to sell thosue two cameras. and upgrade.
so my plan is to keep one lightroom that can handel both file formats. and thats lightroom 4. see when i got the t3 camera, it would not work with lightroom 2. bec of the year the t3 was made.
so i am thinkging of haveing 1 old lightroom and 1 new lightroom.
but i just am not sure what happens to the old catalogs if the lightroom program does not exist if i was to sell 2 and 3.
see i also have adobe cs4 student addition. and at the time bought LR2, but then later bought LR3, bc of the camers.
now i am wanting to get the latest new cames by selling 1 or both of my current cameras. as adobe keeps making new lightrooms, i guess that all other photographers after a while they update there cameras to. i am guessing?
what do you think i should i do?

Delete photos in both iPhoto and Finder at the same time??

Is there any way I can delete photos in iPhoto AND at the same time delete them permanently in the finder?
We all take too many pictures with out digital cameras and we can't say for sure which once are good with just looking at the camera... so we have to import ALL of them to iPhoto. When we do that, they also get saved in the Finder. When you delete the bad photos in iPhoto you still sit on the bad photos in Finder...
Does anyone know an easy way to delete BOTH at the same time?
Thank you

I'm not sure I understand your set up:
And I wanted to let you know that under Preferences the box "copy items to the iPhoto Library" is checked.
So, all your pics are copied into the iPhoto Library. BUT you also have copies in the Pictures Folder. Why do you have two copies? They don't count as a back up because they aren't on a different volume, all they are doing is wasting disk space.
If you let iPhoto manage the files then you have no need to access them in the Finder. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
I'm not sure I understand your problem.

Problems with iCloud photos on both iPhoto and Aperture after uploading Yosemite

I uploaded Yosemite and am unable to access my photo albums in iCloud on both iPhoto or Aperture.
I have repaired permissions,repaired database,rebooted,checked preferences. done everything I can think of to get them visible on my Macbook pro.
I know that the albums are there as they show on my iPad.
any new photos are shared and I can place them in the albums but none of the 15,000+ photos previously shared show in their respective albums.
This after leaving the programmes running for 3 days.
any help really appreciated
Thank you

Can you please show a sample of the wrong dates - both for Aperture and iPhoto?
What is your Aperture version and your iPhoto version exactly?
What did you do, before this problem started? Have you tried already some trouble shooting, like repairing the Aperture library ? Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

Can you sync photos to an iPad from both Aperture and Pictures Folder? I know there are options for both but I have photos on both Aperture and Pictures Folder that I want to put on my iPad.

If I select Aperture as the option to sync for photos I can't select photos from the Pictures folder. Currently I have my photos synced to Aperture but I want to add photos from Pictures Folder. It doesn't really look like it's possible to add stuff as it would delete my photos from Aperture if I resync with the Pictures Folder. Really frustrating because I don't want to have to add those photos to my Aperture library as I'm currently moving away from using Aperture to Lightroom. So all my older photos are in Aperture but most of my newer images are saved in my Pictures Folder. Thanks for any help with this.
Darci

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for that... I thought of that, of adding my iPad Pix as a subfolder of Pictures and syncing to Pictures but I remember many versions of iTunes' ago that I could add folders. Can I still do that or has that option gone? If the option doesn't exist then I suppose I will have to use folders and subfolders.
The thing is, I have iPad Pix as one folder then another folder of Pictures with various subfolders within it. It's a couple of those different subfolders I want to sync as well as iPad Pix and I don't want the hassle of moving and syncing specific folders etc... it really would be easier if I could sync more than one folder at the same time. Hope it's possible...
Thanks,
Maz

Missing photos in both iPhoto and Aperture

I recently upgraded to Aperture 3.1.2 and transferred all my photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. In total I transferred about 15000 photos from my iPhoto library. I noticed some photos were missing in Aperture. After opening iPhoto again, some photos were missing there (although the thumbnail was present). I tried restoring my iPhoto library but that did not restore the photos. I BELIEVE between iPhoto and Aperture I have all my photos but I can't be entirely sure. Does anyone have anyone out there have any ideas of what I can try? I already rebuilt my iPhoto library and that just helped identify what photos I am missing in iPhoto.

This definitely sounds like and iPhoto and/or backup problem.
How was the backup done? If it was with TM (or another incremental backup program) did you check an earlier backup?
If you restored the iPhoto library from backup and the images were still missing I'm afraid there isn't much that you can do.

My lightroom cant display any image,in both lr2 and 5

both my lr 2 and 5 display images like above, anything wrong with my pc?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU>
After so many weeks of going crazy, moving everything, calling adobe and bugging the experts, no one gave me a good answer. I was always sure that it was a small thing that somehow got messed up. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, always in a good way.

I updated to Mountain Lion and can't access most of my photo libraries , both Aperture and iPhoto

After updatiing yesterday I cant access my libraries, I get two different messages, one says :"Aperture can't access this Library' "to use this library , make sure its file permissions are set correctly". The next one says "Unable to write to library iPhoto Library 2
check that you have permissions to write to the library directory.Any ideas what I have to do tho get access again.

I have been having the same issue, although the external drive is not an array. It's a multi-disk setup where the drives are manually duplicated using Super Duper, although it could be set up as an array. The suggestion to remove the external drive(s) from the system, spinning them down, then plugging them in worked ONCE. After that, the next time Aperture was relaunced, the problem resumed. And now spinning them down or taking them out and restarting them, even restarting the Mac, has no effect. I'm testing to see if moving the Libraries to another drive and reformatting the drives in this external enclosure before bringing the libraries back will have an remedy. It may be there needs to be a firmware update to the external enclosure in order to work properly with Mountain Lion.

LR3 ... How to merge catalogues for LR2 and LR3beta

OK I have just installed LR3 from a disc and took the option to update my old LR2 catalogue on set up.
However, I now have some recent shoot folders that I have only worked on in LR3beta (beta 1 or 2).
If I look in MyPhotos/Lightroom folder I have four Lightroom Catalogues listed as follows:
Lightroom 2 Cartalog.lrcat     444MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.lrcat       15MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.2.lrcat     87MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.3.lrcat   421MB
So I think the last one is the new converted catalogue converted from the first one
The 2nd one looks like my LR3 beta 1 catalogue..
and the third one looks like my LR3 beta 2 catalogue
Ideally I'd like to merge the last three catalogues adding some of the more recent shoot folders worked on in LR3 beta 2
How do I do this and how will the process resolve issues if I have worked on the same image in more than one version...add the LR3 beta 2 catalogue of LR with corrections now stored in more than one catalogue to
Many thanks for any advice....
Paul

Thanks LR boffin - I may put up with the inconvenience till the bug fix is done....in the meantime many thanks for the clear & informative reply - very much appreciated!!!
Ideally, I'd like them to offer a folder/shoot based OR an image by image decision process, to say I want to choose the LR2 or the LR3 beta treamtent OR perhaps ideally BOTH, labelled LR2 and LR3. That would be ideal - then one could simply compare side by side and go for the best solution. Just a thought.....something several beta users must be coping with. I have been with LR since the first beta...so should know better but am not totally computer savvy ( old dogs and new tricks unfortunately )
Cheers,
Paul

How do I add photos to photo stream from BOTH iPhoto and Aperture

I use Photostream for displaying photos I have taken on my DSLR on my iPad. I take the photos, download them into iPhoto and then add them to Photostream. They then appear on my iPad for display to friends and family. But some of my photos are now being manipulated in Aperture. I'd like to display these in the same Photostream, but so far, because I have to choose either the iPhoto libray or the Aperture library - but not both - for the photostream, the only way I can do this is to export the photos from Aperture into iPhoto (which doubles up my photo files). Is there a simpler way to do this?

OK. But let's say you are in iPhoto and you switch libraries so that you are now looking at your Aperture library. In order to add photos to your photostream you have to activate iCoud/photostream again in your iPhoto preferences for the new library. Then you get a message up which says: "iCloud Photos for [my iCloud email address] is being used with another library named "iPhoto Library". Switching iCoud Photos to this library will turn it off in iPhoto library."
In other words this does not solve my problem of how to have one photostream which contains photos from BOTH iPhoto and Aperture.
Is it perhaps possible to merge the iPhoto and Aperture libraries so that you only have one library for both applications?

Merging Lr2 legacy catalog with LR3 beta into LR3

My Lr3 beta catalog opened without a problem in Lr3 and was established as the default catalog .   My Lr2 legacy catalog was selected thru the by specifying the Lr2 catalog and it was updated successfully to work in LR3. So either catalog can be used in LR3 just by calling for it when launching the application.
But I would like to have a merged catalog so that I can use LR to do multiyear collections ...like my selects from Paris. So I created a new MERGED CATALOG and imported the LR3 beta catalog which worked . Then I repeated the effort with the Lr2 legacy catalog and it bombed after about 10 minutes with no error.
The MERGED CATALOG contained my LR3 .lrcat and I was adding the Lr2 legacy   .lrcat .   I believe I read that if you have any items in both catalogs it will create an conflict ...like two folders with the same name.
Looking for a way to get around this or at least to easily find the conflict?

I am using a similar process and getting a duplicate photo message and then the process aborts(so you have to watch it happen).   I first create new MERGED folder with one of the catalogs..by (1)creating a new catalog and (2)importing from an existing catalog (images are referenced in place) .   I can do this with either catalog and get a usable new MERGED catalog.
When I try to import the 2nd catalog ..I get a duplicate photograph message . Unfortunately I don t get a clean way of dealing with it as in your example.
So I believe we have the cause .but the strategy to clean this up looks wicked as I have 50K images in Lr2 and 10K in Lr3 beta.   If I can find them I can remove them from LR2 before I attempt to merge.   I could also have a problem with duplicate file numbers as I use the original camera generated file number (normally not a problem but a new body will start over so duplicates can occur).    Since I can create a new catalog with either LR legacy or Lr3 beta it has to be a conflict between the two.

How do I move my library from LR2 to LR3 please?

I have both LR2 and 3. I have images saved on both versions of Lightroom on the same Mac but I now wish to transfer all my images from LR2 to LR3. I have LR2 backup files (Lightroom 2 Catalog.lrcat) up to a couple of days ago, can I use this and import in one fell swoop and if so how do I do it please?

LR 3 will upgrade a single catalog but if you have separate catalogs you will have to export the LR2 catalog first.

Can I purchase CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together?

Hello,
I don't know if I can purchase both CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together. The restrictions with Student Teacher editions say you can only purchase one license of any Adobe STE product within a twelve month period. Does this mean I could purchase CS5 now and in a year buy LR3 or it's newest version?
Thanks

Yes, you can buy both now, or whenever you want.
Per Adobe's Student Edition FAQ, "Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student and Teacher Edition title ..."
However, those two products are different titles - so you could get a copy of each. There's an example of how it works given in the FAQ.
It's a good thing actually because you probably will never have an opportunity to get a better offer on Adobe products than when you're a student.
