Should I keep all my photo's in one folder altogether using keywords
Lot's of folders or just the one?
Keywords doesn't work across the board if you use lot's of folders so I have been putting all into one folder tell me this is not wrong or do I have to separate all again.....Ahhhh
I'd say it depends. You will get faster performance when accessing music and images from your flash drive. You could move your images and music to the flash drive for now. In the future if you are getting short of space there you could move them out to your Thunderbolt drive later.
I've not had the privilege of running a configuration like yours but would be surprised if you had any issues with performance even with some of your files on the Thunderbolt drive so it may not matter too much either way.

How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?
Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer: How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).
Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?I believe it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to relink files each time, or without having to keep exporting/importing the catalog, by keeping the single catalog and the image library on the one external drive which is then switched between systems as needed.
Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in such a way (e.g FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalog AND the images parent folder are both established at the same level in one overall parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of Lightroom's ability to use relative paths rather than absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the drive is named (Mac) or lettered (PC). This is how "export as Catalog" works, i.e. it creates a "package", aka a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the exported images folder hierarchy alongside the catalog. Take that "package" to another system (same OS or not) and "it just works" even if the drive letter is different or the OS is different....because the relative path from catalog to images is still the same.
I haven't tested this cross-platform (though I have between different PC systems with different drive letters) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully. -
I want to re-install OS but keep all the photos in the iphoto, is that possible?
i want to re-install OS but keep all the photos in the iphoto, is that possible? delete all the things but photos, i had locations, categories and remarks in the iphotos, i don't want to miss them.
Please describe the problem, in as much pertinent detail as possible, rather than your conclusions as to what's causing it or how it should be solved.

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? To create a personal cloud?
Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:
Future Internet connection -------------------TIME CAPSULE (containing all files) -------------- Backed up on the WD 2T Hard-drive I have
(not connected yet) I (*connected to timecapsule physically)
I
I I I I I
Macbook Pro iMac HP (PC) OLD Macbook Pro iPhone
(used for remote working) (Used for home working) (used for heavy CAD and rendering) (not being used for anything at the moment) (& iPods)
I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards

You need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set up/activate the phone. There is no way around this.

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?
I have a macbook pro Version 8.1.2 and I am using Iphoto 09
I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos." -
PSE6 - HOw to collect photos together in one folder
I have managed to get photos scattered across several folders, some on my laptop and some on an external hard drive.
I have managed to get them all into one catalogue, but what is the best way to physically move them all into one folder so it canbe backed up?
I already tried to use the file/move command, thinkiing i could move all the photos to a single folder that way, but for some reason it stopped half way through and now many photos are disconnected.
any help appreciated!>But i want to get the photos in one place so I dont have to cart the external drive around. Is the only way to do this to back up the catalogue and then restore it to a new folder on the laptop?
I don't think that there is a single best answer to your question so I recommend that you wait until several people have responded to this question.
1 -- I think that I would want to know more about the previous failure:
Can you identify any specific characteristics of the photo file where it stopped half way on your previous attempt?
Have you attempted to do the Reconnects for the Missing Files?
Do the files that show as Missing actually exist on a hard drive? If yes, are they on the laptop drive or the external drive?
2 -- I would be tempted to do the actual moving of the files using Windows Explorer. However, I would then know that I had potentially many photo files to Reconnect using the PSE Organizer.
3 -- When you have Disconnected Files, those files do not get Backed Up using the PSE Backup command. And since I think that at least some of the files that you show now as Disconnected are files that need to be moved, I rejected the Backup command possibility.
Why? Even though the normal recommendation is against moving with Windows Explorer, both the Bug when dup name occurs and the still unknown reason for your prior failure when attempting the Organizer Move command would make me stay away from using the PSE commands on the photo files. Therefore my consideration of the option 2 to move with Windows Explorer.

so I have a phone that needs urgent back up as I really want to keep the content. It's been a month since last back-up and there are photos/videos of the kids I want to keep. the machine I usually back-up to has a problem with the graphics card and is with Apple and then my Iphone 3GS started playing up. Took that in and Apple said they need to replace the whole unit. I need to back up my phone to an old laptop that I have just installed iTunes to. I did the right click on the iPhone in iTunes and selected back-up and this took about 10 mins. My question is that if I get my replacement device and hook up to the laptop and restore from back-up will all my pics and apps be there? (not worried about music as have that all in library on my pro) Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks Felicity
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated
Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.

Enlarge page size but keep all margins, text, images as they are now using ID CS 5.5?
How do I enlarge the page size of a file in ID CS 5.5 while keeping all text, margins, images as they are now? Using a mac.
Hi Buzz,
The issues you are having are caused by some underlying differences in the flex libraries in EB 3.4 and 4.5. Using EB 4.5 allows using flex spark components however these are not backward compatible to CS 5.5. In order to have an extension that is backwards compatible to CS 5.5 we strongly advise using EB 3.4. That does unfortunately mean that you will not be able to use the design view. The AutoTheme library was created to provide the theme syncing ability that is available in EB 4.5 through the "CSInterface.instance.autoThemeColorChange = true; call to EB 3.4 extensions and does not work with EB 4.5 (as you have found) because it is trying to set the theme of a different set of UI components which are not available in EB 4.5.
So to summarize:
AutoTheme.sync() is what you should use for EB 3.4
"CSInterface.instance.autoThemeColorChange = true; should be used with EB 4.5
they provide equivalent functionality and should not be mixed.
Finally we would strongly advise using EB 3.4 for CS5.5 extensions.
For the combo box issue unfortunately we only had the capacity to create a broad theme that should cover the majority of the controls correctly, however some controls are not ideally themed. However we do provide AutoTheme.postThemeColorChange which can be set a function to run immediately following theme setting that should allow you to customize the theme to cover these cases.
I hope that helps,
Thanks,
Robert. -
When I load one of my own cd's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). I end up with
the cuts scattered over several albums. How do I keep all the cuts on an album together rather than divided between several albums? I'm brand new with this technology, so I need your information in simple terms. Thank-you.Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
The site could do with updating as some options have changed with iTunes 11, but the principles are the same.

Upgraded to Iphoto 9.5 now all my photos are in one event - Help please
I upgraded to iphoto 9.5.1 with the Mavericks update. Now all my photos (8,217) are in one event. I spent hours breaking them down into different events and now it's back to one. I tried repairing and rebuilding the database per other forum discussions but nothing changes.
I'd love some advice on how to re-organize the photos without having the manually recreate all the events.
Thank you!Thank you. All my event headings are gone but at least it's separated by date.
I followed the instruction from some other discussion threads, held down option + command and tried the options to fix the library that way - it didn't make a difference.
Thank you for your help. Guess I better but everything in albums since those are still ok. -
How can I combine all of my music into one folder for itunes
I have a PC running windows XP I have just bought a IPad 3 and I am trying to consolidate all my music into one folder on one drive so that the sync does not have a problem finding many tracks every time I connect my IPad please can anyone help.
Kind Regards
DerekHi Derek. Do you know where your active iTunes library is? If not download & run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the values of the first four lines. If needed you can hide your username with <User> if it's in there. Also worth checking that media folder location given by the script agrees with Edit > Preferences > Advanced. If not, let me know.
Which of your drives has the most free space? Ideally you should move your current library to that drive as X:\iTunes (when X: is the drive letter) and then consolidate all your existing content that wasn't inside the current iTunes Media folder. I can descibe what to do on a generic basis but with the details I can produce a step-by-step guide that will be easier to follow.
