Transferring Lightroom to a new computer

I just got a new computer and would like to transfer Lightroom and all the current settings to the new computer.  All of my photos sit on a NAS device, so their location doesn't change. Is there a way to do this and ensure I capture all the settings I put in place or do I need to start from scratch?

  • Transferring Lightroom to a new iMac

    I am about to buy a new iMac desktop but I'm scared stiff about moving all my photos and Lightroom application to it. I understand that I should not use Migration assistant for the application ( I need to uninstall on old and reinstall on new) but how do I get my catalogue with all my image work, keywords, folders etc moved across, can I do this with Apple's migration assistant. Also, after I reinstall how will Lightroom on the new computer recognise the catalogue that has been transferred by a different route ?

    Google can really be a friend when you have questions like this.

  • Transferring Elements to a new computer

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements a couple years ago and just bought a new Mac. Can I transfer Elements and Bridge to my new Mac? I put the files on a drive and transferred it to my new computer, but they aren't working right. Any suggestions?

    What is the version of Elements you are trying to install. And also program cannot be migrated from one computer to another, you have to install it to make it work.

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • How do I reload  Lightroom to a new computer with out a disc drive

    I need to reload lightroom to a new computer with not disc drive

    He did use the term "disc" not "disk".  For me the C version is optical media and the K version is a hard-drive.
    To answer the original question, you can download the latest LR 5.6 update and then enter your serial number.  The LR updates, along with most other Adobe updates, are available here:

  • Computer stolen, is it possible to reinstall Lightroom on my new computer without buying it again?

    my new macbook pro was stolen.  i have had to repurchase a new computer and I need to re-install lightroom.  is there a way for adobe to allow me to install lightroom on my new computer without having to repurchase it?
    thank you.

    You probably have the trial of the Creative Cloud version installed (this version cannot be activated with the perpetual license key). Uninstall the one presently on your computer this will not affect your existing catalog, preferences and other personal files. Then download LR 5.6 from the link below, install and insert your serial number and it should work fine.

  • Transferring camera roll into new computer.

    So... I got my laptop stolen and decided to get a new one. The thing is that I can't seem to download the Photo Library pictures from my old computer that are stored in my iphone, into the new laptop... is there anyway i can do that?
    Thanks!

    Photos captured by your iPhone and a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS are stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    The title of your post is "Transferring camera roll into new computer" which you aren't asking about. You are asking about importing or transferring photos from your iPhone's Photo Library, which is completely separate from and has nothing to do with the Camera Roll.
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone.
    Photos stored on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only which should be kept in a separate location from your laptop in the event it is lost or stolen. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.

    my MAC book pro has been stolen. How do I reinstall lightroom on my new computer ?

    Did you buy the perpetual version of Lightroom or is this the subscription version? If perpetual, install and enter your serial number. If subscription, install using the creative cloud desktop app and be sure you're signed into it.
