Setup question and advice for Lightroom 4.1

Hi,
I'm upgrading from LR 3.6 to LR 4.1 on my Windows 7 laptop with 8 gigs ram. I need to free up space on my internal hard drive, so I'm moving my images to a 1T external hard drive, connected via usb 2.0 unfortunately.
question 1: Does it matter in what order I do the above? In other words, should I do the upgrade to 4.1 first and then move my images/catalogue to the external hard drive or should I move my images and then upgrade?
I've heard talk about how LR 4.1 is slower than LR 3.6, so I'm, a little worried about performance.
quesiton 2: Does anyone have an specific advice about configuring LR for best performance considering my files will be stored on external hd via USB 2?
(I only use this computer for web surfing and imaging programs. Besides LR, I also run Camera Raw, PS CS 5, and Premiere Elements. I was thinking about making two catalogues- still images which I would move to the ext hd and movie clips which I would keep on the internal hd. Does that make sense? )
thanks in advance,
D

Doesn't matter, as long as you do it properly

It is slower for some people, and not slower for other people. I don't think anyone in these forums has figured out what the reason is for slowness on some computers. The only thing you can do is try it on your computer. By the way, as far as I have read, the performance problems in Lightroom are not related to USB 2.

Nope, multiple catalogs doesn't make sense to me. You are just reducing your efficiency by having multiple catalogs here. One catalog is easier, that way you never have to switch back and forth, you never wind up importing into the wrong catalog, you can search across all your photos and videos, etc. One catalog is the way to go.
By the way, did I mention that one catalog is the right way to go? Because if I didn't mention it, let me state that one catalog is the way to go.

I've had this iPad computer thing for a few months now. I used to just put in my password when I downloaded an app or such like. Now it wants me to set up 4 further questions and answers "for added security". How can I return to the old system?

I've had this iPad thing for a few months. It used to just ask me for my password, but now it is demanding I set up four questions and answers for
"added security". I don't want to do that, I just want to carry on as I was but the machine is preventing any app downloads etc.
Seems the stupid machine is in control.
How do I get it to listen when I threaten it with a good thrashing and a one way trip to the garbage unless it does what I say?
Thanks

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

I want to know the questions and protection for my account because my account is locked I can not buy please help

The page that you posted from tells you how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should let you reset them.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

After a quiz can you show the questions and answers for the user to review from passing the quiz

After taking a quiz, is there a way to show the questions and answers for the user to review from passing the quiz.
And the ones who has failed the quiz would be directed to the first slide again to take the quiz over.
Thanks

Rod
I see that information about adding the review quiz button but on that last slide where it shows results, I want it jump back to slide 1 but it jumps to the first question of the slide. Is there a way around that?

I have lost my serial number and disk for lightroom 3

I have lost my serial number and disk for lightroom 3 and I need it - I have since upgraded to v5 but have gotten a new laptop and want to install lightroom on there. I have my order number from 2011 for v3 AD003916979. How can I get my old serial number?

On you other machine with Lr5 installed or Lr3 installed search for a file on you computer called "Lightroom 3.0 Registration" or "Lightroom 5.0 Registration". You may have to search for hidden/system files. These files contain your Serial Numbers in plain text.
Otherwise, if your order number is from Adobe you can log in with your account to see your purchased products or contact Adobe with that order number.

Question. CC for Lightroom and Photoshop and, in say 5 years or so, become inactive.

What access would I have to my photos if I sign up for CC for Lightroom and Photoshop and then become only an occasional user. Will I still be able to find my photos using Lightroom? Will I be able to search for photos using keywords? Will I be able to see metadata?
Thanks.

Audigy platinum ex questions and advice - dual ouput or dual card - motherboard audio op has died

Hi all.
im new to the forums and would like some advice please.
i use my pc for mixing music and DJ'ing, but the problem that i have is that the onboard sound output has died. i need 2 intendant / separate sound outputs, one for preview, and one for main/live output.
Now, is it possible to configure a audigy platinum ex to provide the required outputs, and if so, how.
if this is not possible, can i use a soundblaster live card in the same pc to provide the required outputs, or as i suspect the answer is no to this due to shared file names within the drivers and such, is there a recommended card that i can use in conjunction with the audigy, or will any generic sound card do the job (for preview output).
i dont want to replace the motherboard and reinstall all the software at the moment, and i use mixmiester, fruityloops, reason and such for mixing/creating, and either mixmiester, tracktor, or pcdj fx for dj'ing.
many thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Adrian

mikiem ........... your a STAR.......
i didnt know that you could do that.....using the AISO driver allows access to all sorts of outputs..........when i have time im going to have to see what they all do, and what else is available, but the biggest thing is that it has sorted out some of my immediate problems......
i will need to go through all the software to see if i can get access to these outputs from it all, but it definitely works with mixmiester, so i dont need to re plot all the files.
just so that people know, i set the audigy speaker config to 4.0/4.1 in THX setup, and then looked in the advanced audio output section of mixmiester (under output config) and presto....2 independent audio outputs.
dont suppose that anyone knows where to get a complete and detailed manual for what all the software and hardware does and how to configure it all........
HUGE thanks mikiem........

Hardware recommendations and advice for 100 client network

Hi
We are currently looking at setting up a very basic separate wireless network for a client in two adjacent large cabins (3m apart) that will support up to 100 clients max concurrently. This will be solely for contractors to access basic internet, connections to web mail etc. There will be no existing infrastructure to connect to, so we will be looking at an internet connection of some form, a small switch and the wireless network. Range isn't an issue as they are next to each other its the support for such a large amount of connections. I thought a clustered setup of 2-4 WAP321 might be a bit stretched and we might get issues as the number of simultaneous connections gets near 100. I was also looking at a couple of standalone Aironet 1600s, one in each cabin.
The network itself is very basic, as it is literally just shared internet access but I need to ensure that it's reliable with 100 clients connected.
I did ring presales tech but they weren't mcuh help and sounded like they knew less than me, so any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Harry

Dear Harry,
Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
By checking on the WAP321 datasheet I see:
- Recommended user support = Up to 32 connective users, 20 active users
- Active clients per cluster = 80
I agree with you when say "might be a bit stretched and we might get issues as the number of simultaneous connections gets near 100", therefore I suggest you to go for an enterprise-class, entry-level device like the Aironet1600 you mention. I would anyway suggest you to contact back the presales team or the Wireless-Mobility Support Community for further assistance and advice.
Thank you for your time on this matter and please let me know if there is anything I may assist you with in the meantime.
Kind regards,

HT204053 I have forgotten my questions and answers for my password. How can I replace them. I want to use the same password I have ?

I was on the phone for almost 2 hrs. yesterday because I had so many passwords I couldn't remember the one I used for itunes. The fellow helped me get it all straightened out but it still wouldn't let me get in because I couldn't remember the questions and answers. He was going to take care of it at that end and told me to wait 24 hours. So I'm at it again. I got into itunes but when I try to retrieve my previous apps,it wants me to put my password for that as well and then I'm in the situation with it not accepting my password so when I try to change my password it then wants me to answer the question and answer so now I'm thinking I have more than a seizure disorder and it's driving me to the point of no patience. Can you help?
