Transferring Lightroom 4 from Hard Drive to Computer

When I initially downloaded Lightroom 4 my desktop could not handle the amount of space the program/library took up so I began running Lightroom from an external hard drive. However, I now have a laptop that can handle running Lightroom.
Upon trying to copy/paste all of the Lightroom files from the external hard drive onto my laptop, my Lightroom library now says that all of the photos are "missing".
Ideally, I'd like to have my Lightroom software and library running from my laptop because I am in need of a larger external hard drive to hold all of my exported photos.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

  • Transferring music from hard drive to new macbook

    So here is my situation I can't seem to figure out.
    On my old imac, I kept all  of my music on an external hard drive.
    Now that I have a new macbook pro, I would like to transfer the libary on to the itunes, while keeping it on the external hard drive.
    When I go to do that, it won't reference the folder I have all my albums in because it says it is not a valid itunes library file.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    So your media are on the external drive and your library files are on the internal?  iTunes is a bunch of files, not just your media files.

    iTunes 9 [and later]: Understanding iTunes Media Organization - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
    If your library files are on your internal drive you need to copy the iTunes folder from Home > Music to the same location on the new computer (make sure you don't mind replacing the one already there), then start iTunes.  It may want to update your main library file.
    If instead of what you say, the whole iTunes library is on the external drive:

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • Transferring songs from hard drive to new iPod

    Will I have trouble transferring my songs from an external hard drive to a new iPod classic.  If so, any solutions?

    As long as you import these songs from the external hard drive to iTunes first, you shouldn't.  Just make sure your iPod is configured to sync all of these new tracks via its Summary and specifically Music configuration tabs in iTunes.

    computer's motherboard died, and I am going to move all the browsing info to a new computer.

  • Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

    Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

    Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

    Here’s my question,
    I have a new HP Photosmart 7520e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination option.  I'm using Windows 7.  Nothing at the computer end acknowledges that the card is in the printer slot. The computer is wireless hook up. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?
    Thanks support team. My old HP Printer pooped out on me and I just got this new one hooked up. I have a card full of pictures I need to move into “My Pictures” but so far, my new HP doesn’t want me to. Stainless909

    My computer does NOT have a card slot or I would have use it to start with. Next: This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. (youyr answer) "You can map the card to network drive but why you have to do that hard ?"  I don't understand "maping net works".
    All my previous (4) HP printers had card slots (as this one does) but when I put my card in the computer would read it and ask me if I  was ready to import them and I picked the destination ... click on "import" and it happened. This one.. nothing happens on the computer but the printer screen gives me a choice of destinations (snapfish & usb cord) but does not offer an option of moving them to the computer. Are you not understanding my problem????  Would this be better resolved with a phone call? 951 769-8420 Thanks Bruce aka... Stainless909

    Hi,
    Please check professional services in your area, normally they charge few hundred dollars depending on recovery rates but never get 100%. There are few tools such as:

  • DELETING FROM HARD DRIVE ( USING AN APPLE)

    I had a hard time at first to figure this out.
    Flag pictures with an X

    Secret !!! to remove from Hard Drive (you must empty trash)then they are removed
    Good Luck,

    This is pretty standard behavior on a Mac, and it provides you wil another chance to reconsider esp. if you learn that you've trashed a whole folder instead of one image.
    You can also just hit delete from a folder view and get that dialogue.

  • Colour differences & LR not deleting from hard drive

    Hi,
    I am running a Dell Dimension 1100, a NEC MultiSync 70 monitor, Xp SP 2 home, Olympus Master 2 and a full version of Lightroom 1.0,Photoshop CS2, and use a Olympus E-500 DSLR.
    I have a slight issue with how Lightroom shows the colours of my pictures when i am comparing Olympus Master 2 v. Lightroom 1.0. Most pictures its hard to tell the difference without going back and forth constantly, but when i look at my pictures of flowers or landscapes, my pictures look so much more vibrant in Olympus Master compared to Lightroom. Is this a settings issue? or perhaps something else?
    Also.....
    when deleting pictures from Lightroom, it asks me if i wish to delete from the hard drive or just remove from Lightroom, when i choose delete from hard drive, after it says its done, if i go look at the folder its still there :/.
    any help would be apprieciated, I am a novice dslr user and still learning how to use the softwares out there

    Are you shooting images in raw or jpeg mode?
    I assume that Olympus Master 2 is the raw processing software bundled with your camera. If so, then you are asking why Olympus software renders pictures differently than Lr. This question has been asked (and answered) many times but it boils down to the fact that the Olympus default rendering could be far different than that chosen by Lr. Also, Olympus may embed proprietary information in the raw image useful to Master 2 but entirely unknown to Lr.
    If you want Lr to operate more like Master 2, then create a Lr preset (with the appropriate adjustments -- likely a saturation boost), then apply this preset when importing.
    Finally, the camera raw engine (ACR) used by Lr is noted for producing images more muted than that produced by software bundled with cameras. In my opinion this is a good thing since the default rendering that many cameras produce is not at all natural. But the powerful Lr develop module allows me to create any interpretation I choose. Including a head spinning contrast and saturation boost.

  • T400 problem booting from hard driver, cursor blinking on top left screen corner

    I'm having problems with T400 (2765-TDG). It has trouble with booting, which requires 5 minutes power off/on in order to propely boot operating system.
    Notebook is less than two months old, fully properly driver updated then so after that nothing is been done on it neither from user or from system administrator.Problem occured suddenly after two weeks of mentioned maintenance.
    Symptoms:
    After mouse intialization, screen goes black, and on top left corner white cursor blinks
    There is no keyb key which can contine booting process, expect rebooting
    There is no other device connected to notebook, not even mouse
    It's needed several, sometimes 3-4, sometimes even 10, times to reboot with power key in order to get operating system booting
    When it suceeds booting, just before booting operating system, in diagnostic mode of booting (with quick boot disabled) I can hear only one beep
     What I tried to do:
    I've changed BIOS setting to force booting only from hard drive, turned off any other booting device.
    Also, changed from AHCI to Compatibility mode for hard disk but with no help.
    Turned off quick boot, but during booting process, there is no specific error shown
    Upgraded BIOS version to 2.03-1.01 but with no help
    Restored BIOS default setup, no help
    Did some general diagnostics, and here is what I've noticed:
    After changing settings in BIOS, save&exit, computer hangs with black screen. I have to turn it off and back on in order to continue booting. Settings in BIOS are saved properly.
    When I succeed with booting into operating system (XP), graphic card sometimes is not recognized, not even by original driver installation. In device manager, I see two recognized graphic card drivers with warning sign, and "Intel management engine interface" device with warning sign
    In event viewer, then only error line is "Problem with HECI driver communicating with firmware" or something like that
    Operating system is not able to enter in standby mode, it justshows blank screen and I'm forced to switch off notebook by pressing power off button for longer time
    Any help appreciated. Thanks! I hope I can deal with this before I send notebook to authorized service.

    I'm sorry to tell you, but in may case, I had to send notebook to authorized service provider. They replaced mainboard and hard drive (!?). Now everything works fine, but puts shame on Thinkpad T series notebook.
