Transfering lightroom to new computer?

Is there anyway that I can transfer my lightroom 3 from my old lap top to my new one? Is so, how would I go about doing that?

  • Transferring Lightroom to new computer

    Hi, I'm about to buy a new mac desktop to replace my macbook. I use Lightroom 4 on my macbook and 90% of my lightroom catalogues are on an external hard drive (this is where the originals are)
    How do I ensure I can access the same catalogues on my new machine as I currently can on my macbook. Would I need to transfer the actual Lightroom application to the new computer and then just plug in my external drive? What about those not on the external drive.
    Someone said "cut and paste the files to the new machine" - how can you can and paste between 2 seperate machines!!
    Please note! As you can tell.. I'm not a techie and I would reeeally appreciate non-jargon, basic explainations in any responses
    Thanks
    Amy

    Install Lr on the new computer using the correct install procedure, not copy and paste or any varaition of same. Next, connect external drive on whcih catalog and images are located, open the folder conatining the catalog, double click the catalog file (i.e. file with lrcat extension). Double clicking the catalog file will launch Lr.
    Any catalogs not already already on external drive can be copied to new machine and launched as described above.

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

  • I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

    I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on.
    After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
    Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
    I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
    good luck

  • Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

    My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

    Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.

  • Transferring CS3 to new computer and upgrading to CS6

    I am wanting to transfer my Adobe CS3 suite to my new Macbook Pro. I'm worried about not being able to access my design files correctly once transferring to my new computer. I'm also interested in upgrading to the latest CS6. Any advice would be appreciated!

    To install your CS3 Suite, don't try to copy the application files. If possible, use the installer discs or a copy of the installer file you original used to install on your old computer. If you don't have the original discs/installer file, you can download the installer here:
    Other downloads
    Deactivate CS3 on your old computer.
    As to buying the latest CS6, you can do that from the Adobe Store.

    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

  • How to download Lightroom on new computer

    I had Lightroom 4, and then purchased the upgrade to lightroom 5 online.  Now I have a new computer and want to iinstall lightroom 5, can I just download the upgrade I purchased right from my adobe account ,or do I need to install Lightroom 4 first?

    You should not need to install version 4.  Just install 5 and follow the prompts when activating it.

  • My iTunes library is on an old computer. Not enough memory to consolidate the associated MP3 files. Transferred library to new computer. How can I add the MP3's without having to re load every file / folder again? Thanks.

    Hello, I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from an old computer with small hard drive to a new windows 8 laptop.  Much of my library consists of links to MP3/ 4 files etc but there isn't enough harddrive memory to consolidate the files into iTunes music folder.  I downloaded the library onto an external hardrive and have installed it on the new computer.  All files that were in iTunes music (now iTunes Media file) work fine.  I have transferred over all my MP3 files but of course iTunes library wont play the file as there is no established link to the file and it asks whether iTunes should locate the file. I don't want to have to import every MP3 file/ folder all over again and then delete the unlinked entries in iTunes as this will take way too much time.  Is there a way to sync all of these MP3 files to iTunes automatically or do I need to go back to start and somehow try and put the library back onto the hard drive and get the files consolidated to that from my old computer?  Any help most gratefully recieved. Thanks.

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • Is there a way to keep all your stuff on your ipod after transferring to a new computer and being able to get new stuff on it while the old stuff is still on the ipod???

    Okay so I had my itunes on my moms computer and now her computer is broken and I need to buy stuff on itunes (And I want to see my wish list again). How can I transfer all my old stuff over to this new computer with out changing anything or having anything deleted but at the same time being able to put new stuff on from the computer???

    Try this way:
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

  • How do I retain all content when transferring iphone to new computer?

    I need to transfer my old iphone to my new computer so that I can transfer all the contact info, manually downloaded music, notes, and so forth from that phone onto my shiny new iphone.
    Is this possible?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
