Transferring Lightroom 4.4 from Vista to Win 8.1 on New Computer

I was running LR 4.4 on a Vista OS. I purchased a Win 8.1 computer. Per an online tutorial, I transferred my photo folder to the new computer then installed LR 4.4, then transferred over the .lrcat folder. The catalog cannot find the photos. Is there something I am missing or a different way to accomplish this? I intend to upgrade to LR5.7 but thought that it would be simple to work with the same version between computers and operating systems. Any step-by-steps or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's my understanding the upgrade does not modify any other partitions while upgrading Windows itself. Seems likely something else is wrong.
If you did not create recovery media before and cannot do so now, then obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
All the information in the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide, should still be applicable.

Transferring an audiobook purchase from an ipad to mac/another ipod

I've just bought an audiobook for my son on our ipad. I thought that it would be a simple matter to either then sync it to my mac or re-download it onto my other son's ipod (all under the same apple ID). But apparently not. It seems impossible to just sync the audiobook without ALL of the ipad apps, and I get no option to 'download' the book if i go back to the iTunes store. Any ideas? Thanks

You cannot pick and choose.
It is all or nothing.

You cannot re-download audiobooks at all.

I can't export photos from Lightroom 5 to a ssubfolder on my Mac Desktop. Can anyone help?

Does it give an error message? Or why do you think you can't export them to a subfolder?

Transferring Lightroom Edits from Laptop to Desktop?

On a recent vacation I loaded and edited over 1500 photos in Lightroom 2.0 on an Apple Macbook Pro laptop. I would like to transfer the edited photos to my desktop imac which also has Lightroom 2.0 installed. How can I best transfer the files from the laptop to the desktop while maintaining the ability to selectively modify the individual edit steps such as cropping and tone adjustments. I appreciate that I could export the edited files as jpegs or TIFFs but this would preclude the ability to go back and change earlier edit steps. Thanks for your suggestions.

An easy way would be to export your images as a new catalog. That copies all images, their previews and adjustments to a new location. If you connect your Macs either via Wireless, Ethernet or Firewire you can copy straight across to a destination folder on the iMac.
Otherwise you could also use an external hard disk.
To do so, go to File >> Export as Catalog… In the dialog box that comes up select a destination folder, name your catalog and make sure to check "Export negative files" and "Include available previews" and proceed with the export. Depending on the amount of images, that could take a while.
Once it's complete, simply open the newly created LR catalog file on the iMac. If you already have a LR catalog on the iMac, you probably want to merge both catalogs. That can be achieved by opening the existing catalog on your iMac first, and then go to File >> Import from Catalog. Select the previously exported catalog and click OK.
However if you want to go back and forth in the future between the laptop and iMac while maintaining identical LR catalogs and -libraries on both, you might want to use a different approach.
I for instance synchronise my libraries between two Macs using a portable hard disk, which is an exact mirror image of the drive that holds all my work files (not just LR's image library).

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab

Options
Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

How do I launch Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud?

I downloaded and installed Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud. I have been trying for 4 days to launch Lightroom. Each time I try,Adobe asks for a serial number or wants to know if I want to try Lightroom 5.3 for 30 days. I use an iMac 10.9.1.file:///Users/cawhet1/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-18%20at%207.55.37%20PM.png.

Hi Crystal
I believe there have been a good number of similar instances affecting CC users. It’s worth checking your purchase history to ensure you are properly subscribed. Go to Adobe.com and near the top right of the page log-in to My Adobe, unless you are already logged-in; in which case it will say welcome next to your name.
Click on My Orders and this should show your latest invoicing. You can expand each section by clicking the small disclosure triangle icon to the left of each date.
Then click on My Products and Services. Under the products section, which sometimes takes a few seconds to refresh, you should find Lightroom and if you expand the details it should contain an automatically generated serial number.
The only suggestion I have is to Launch Lightroom again and if you see the trial screen click on licence this product and enter the serial number.
It should not really be necessary with a CC app but let us know if that works.

Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

I am a new iPad user and have transferred my iTunes library from my laptop. How do I sync my iPod touch with my ipad

You don't. You synch your iPod to your computer. There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod. You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.
