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.

    What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

  • C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print.  The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
    -  Printer is hooked up wirelessly
    -  I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
    -  I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
    There is no error.  Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed.  I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

    View Solution.

    I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
    After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
    Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
    After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful  restore system and start again.  Most it took me was three attemps.
    Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
    Hope this helps you......... Good luck

  • Taking songs from ipod classic and putting them on new computer without deleting plays and ratings?

    Hi Guys
    I need help. My computer died and I now have a new one with my old iTunes on a external hard drive (EHDD) and on my Ipod Classic.
    When I copied all the music from my EHDD to the new computer it has put all the music on there but without any ratings or play count.
    Is there a way I can use the info on my ipod classic to update the play count and ratings?
    Also I'm scared to sync my ipod to the new iTunes because I don't want to loose these plays and ratings.
    What should I do?

    Hello Calumk4,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning transferring iTunes libraries:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    Consolidating Your iTunes library
    To make the move as easy as possible, it's important to make sure all of the items in your library are in one place.
    Open iTunes Preferences:
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Advanced.
    Make sure the option to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is selected.
    Click OK.
    Note: With this option selected, when you add files to iTunes, iTunes places copies of the originals in the iTunes Media folder. The original files are left in their original locations. To save space on your hard disk, you might want to delete the original files after confirming import.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select the option to "Consolidate files."
    Note: If you recently updated to iTunes 9, you might want to consider selecting the option to "Upgrade to iTunes Media organization." This updates the file organization of your iTunes Media folder.
    Click OK.
    Note: If you originally did not have the option to copy files enabled, iTunes will copy files outside of the iTunes Media folder from their original locations to the iTunes Media folder. To save space on your hard disk, you might want to delete the original files after confirming they have been moved and are backed up.
    Copy iTunes folder to your external hard drive
    To copy all the items in your iTunes library (including the iTunes Library file that holds all your playlists, playcounts, ratings, and other data) to your external hard drive, follow these steps:
    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Locate your iTunes folder:
    By default, the iTunes folder is located in:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    If the iTunes folder is not in the default location listed above then you can find where the iTunes folder is located by following these instructions:
    Open your iTunes Preferences:
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Advanced.
    The location of your iTunes folder will be listed in iTunes Media folder location box, as pictured below.
    Drag the iTunes folder to your external hard drive. This can take a while if you have a lot of items.
    When the transfer is complete, your iTunes Library will have been successfully copied to your external hard drive.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • How can I transfer my music from my iPod (4G Touch) to a new computer with windows 7?

    Help.  My old computer crashed and all my music from my CDs is still on my iPod but I need to get it into itunes onmy new computer with windows 7.  I have found a number of procedures online that apparently work for earlier versions of windows but i can't figure them out for windows 7.  Any suggestions from folks who have solved this proble would be appreciated.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you will nee a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos then you will have to use a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. Those also do music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup does not contain synced media like app and music.

  • Migrating iTunes (Win XP) to a New Computer (Win 7)

    I have an extensive iTunes library on my old Windows XP computer and would like to migrate this library to a new computer with Windows 7. I have searched the Apple site and read most of the related articles, but I'm not certain I completely understand all the steps required to do this properly.
    I think I understand that I need to authorize the new computer. When do I do this? First or after the library is moved?
    What about moving the files? Do I just copy them to the new machine? If so, do I do this before or after install iTunes on the new machine?
    Is it easier just to sync my phone with the new computer?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    It depends a little on whether the library is all in one place or has been split so that the library files are in one location and the media folder is in another. We'll assume the easy option for now but if I'm wrong just holler and I'll write up the extra steps... (Precise details of existing folder paths will make it easier to write clear instructions)
    On the XP box use *File > Library > Organise Library > Consolidate Files* to make sure all your files are in the correct set of folders.
    Now use *File > Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Music (Media)* to reorganise the files in the newer layout. If the option is greyed out you've already done this.
    If your *iTunes Media* folder is called *iTunes Music* (old school) then close iTunes, rename the folder *iTunes Music* as *iTunes Media* then start iTunes. Check everything still plays. Now your library is properly portable.
    If you've already installed iTunes on the Windows 7 machine throw away the empty iTunes folder from inside Music.
    Copy the iTunes folder & all its subfolders from the XP box to the Music folder on the Win 7 box.
    Install iTunes if you haven't done so already.
    Start iTunes.
    Enjoy your tunes.
