Understanding what it means to move an image off LR3

I've moved thousands of images off LR3 and off my Macbook.  But previews of those images remain in LR3 even though the underlying image is no longer there.  How do I move the edits and adjustments still appearing in LR3 as a Preview image, off LR3 and off the Mac?  I get a notice the image cannot be exported because it's no longer there.  When I initially moved the images off the Mac, I mistakenly thought I was moving the edits and adjustments too.  But not so.  I was just moving the same original file which came over from my Nikon D90 to LR3 on my Mac, now off the Mac.  How do I connect the edits and adjustments which are as I understand it what LR3 IS, and which appear as the Preview images, to the images that go with those edits and adjustments, that are no longer on my Mac?  Do I import those files again?  Get them hooked up with with the edits and adjustments I earlier made?  And export them again, this time somehow keeping the edits and adjustments together with the underlying image file?  Feeling a tad confused what's going on here.

LR stores the location of an image file and the adjustments you made to each image.  If you use LR to move the images, then the location within LR is updated to the new location as part of the LR-move operation.  If you use a different method outside of LR to move the images (e.g. Finder or Explorer) then LR has no idea about where the images are. 
LR already knows about the images, it just doesn’t know where they are so you don’t need to reimport them, again.
To reconnect the adjustments to the image, you need to tell LR where the image(s) moved to.  If you preserved the folder structure as you moved the images then the task is relatively easy, you can just do a right-click on a top-level folder with a question-mark in the lefthand panel in Library and choose Update Folder Location, which lets you tell LR where that folder moved to, and you can do this for each of your top-level folders in LR.  If everything was imported under one top-level folder, then you only need to specify that and all the images under that folder will be updated.  If there are many top-level folders, then you’ll need to specify the new location of each, one-by-one.
If, however, you moved the images into a different folder structure than when LR last knew about their locations, you’ll need to do the updating at the granularity of the equivalence between the old structure and the new structure.  Worst case, you might have to right-click on each folder or each image and update its location, but hopefully you left the folder structure the same as you moved them off the Mac, and there aren’t that many folders to reconnect.

    I get message:"Can't save library file.  Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

    Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
    Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
    You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
    Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
    you can try to save as a diffeent format
    I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
    The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
    option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
    image together out of the screen shots.
    I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

    You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt  from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Trying to understand what "push" means

    I love my 3g iPhone. I have mobileme too and an iMac and Macbook Air (all mac-ed out).
    Here is my problem or at least what I'm not understanding.
    When I change add an appointment on my calendar (or add a contact) to the iMac, it adds it to my iPhone (lol, somehow, without the iPhone being hooked up to the computer). However when I add or change an appointment on the iPhone it does not change it on the computer calendar.
    How to I fix it so that regardless of where I change appointments its pushed to my iMac and me.com? Or is that not how push works?
    Susan

    Real push (instant) works only between the MobileMe cloud and the iPhone. Between the MobileMe cloud and a Mac it's just a normal sync, which does (when set to automatic) occur every 15 minutes on 10.5 (every hour on 10.4).
    If your appointments made on the phone do not appear on your Mac, first check if they got pushed to the cloud (login to me.com and check online in your browser). If the appointment is visible on me.com, start a sync on your Mac. The appointment should now be there, too.

  • Distiller error log, cant understand what it means

    Im trying to create a postscript file from a booklet created in Pagemaker (yeah i know, but thats what they made it in!).  When I try to use distiller to create the PDF from it, im constantly getting this error...
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets  fonts/TimesNewRomanPSMT%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Im sure some font is making this not work, there is some times new roman being used on most all the pages but its just basic times new roman that i always use for everything.  I dont know what this TimesNewRomanPSMT thing is, i dont even see a font called that in the pagemaker file I have either.

    An EPS file is a graphics file of the PS type. The wikipedia explanation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulated_PostScript might help.
    When you say you print to a PS file, that set the fonts and stuff in place. Normally with Acrobat, you would print to the Adobe PDF printer. This printer driver creates a PS file that is tailored to PDF production and then calls Distiller to automate the conversion process to PDF. If you want to do the PS process, select print-to-file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller and see if you get the same error message. If you are printing to a PS driver and the Distilling, it is likely the setup in that driver where the font embedding and such are defined. I may have misunderstood your post, but that is my take at this point.

  • How to move referenced images to a new Hard Drive

    All my Aperture referenced images (about 80.000) are stored at a 300gb firewire HD. That's not enough and I plan to move all my photos to a new HD, 1Tb probably.
    I understand that I can't move the images directly from one drive to another. So what's the easiest and painless way to upgrade and still maintain the integrity of Aperture Library ?

    {quote:title=Bauhausler wrote:}I understand that I can't move the images directly from one drive to another.{quote}
    Well, that's exactly what you can (and should) do. Then use the "Manage Referenced Files..." command.

    Hello lea,
    this is what those mean:
    Warn me when sites try to install add-ons :
    With [[Customizing Firefox with add-ons|Add-ons]] you can enhance Firefox's experience. However, some add-ons can be malicious so that's why Firefox warns you before installing them by default.
    Block reported attack sites :
    Attack sites are those sites that can install malware on your computer. Normally, Firefox blocks that. The same goes for
    Block reported web forgeries , where Phishing sites are being blocked. See [[How the phishing and malware protection in Firefox works]].
    Also, those information can be found in the [[Options window - Security panel]] KB article.

  • HT1657 When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

    When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

    Is this in iTunes, on an iPod/iPhone/iPad or AppleTV?
    Not sure what the error number is.
    If it's a portable device try restrating it by power cycling, if a computer reboot it and restrat iTunes - this may or may not work but cure an authorisation problem I had in itunes the other day.
    Good luck.

  • Can anyone help me understand what "Excessive Probe Frames detected" means?

    I am seeing many APs in a SWAN implementation generating the following errors. Clients seem to be getting disconnected regularly... Can anyone give me a guess as to what this means? The location where this is happening is a bit light on access points, but has ample radio coverage. A site survey and walkthrough was performed. Radio parameters were generated through site survey wizard... Thanks!

    In medium-size wireless systems, 70+ in a half second may not by unusual.
    Managment frames cover all sorts of status polls, beacons & the like.
    If you're looking for good references, O'Reilly has a "Definitive Guide to 802.11" that's pretty good.
    I also have & use the Planet3 CWNA/CWSP/CWAP certification study books, published by Osborne. They're excellent study guides for the wireless stuff, and also make pretty good references.
    (CWNA - Certified Wireless Network Administrator, CWSP - Security Professional, CWAP - Analysis Professional)
    If you're gathering tools, a wireless "sniffer" can also be a Very Good Thing.
    AirMagnet is (by my understanding) a "cadallac" system, and pretty expensive (~$5000.00)
    WildPackets "EtherPeek" for wireless also appers to be an excellet system (but it's also ~US$ 2500 or so).
    I use Tamosoft's "CommView" for wireless. It's a very good basic analyzer; it doesn't have all the bells & whistles, but definately gets the job done.
    Full retail it's ~US$500.00.
    If you mention that you are studying for CWAP, there's usually a good discount (~$300.00 for the full package).
    You can also get a one-year license for ~$200.00.
    You can put in all of your systems with aliases (MAC and/or IP) for rapid ID and see which system is sending what (and log it). It can also show you other interfering or malicious traffic.
    It's hard to make an evaluation without actually seeing the traffic and the source/destination info.
    It could be something as simple as bad drivers, it could be something much more complex ... no way to tell unless you can see what's actually happening.
    The probe frames can be someone gathering information about your system, or it could just be a bunch of clients trying to associate.
    What kind of authentication do you use (if any)?
    Good Luck

  • Please help me to understand what is the meaning of Acess point Channel utilization?

           please help me to understand what is the meaning of Acess point Channel utilization? If i want to mange the capacity of my Office Wi-Fi network what are the factor i need to monitor.

    Hi Ankit,
    Channel Utilization
    The 802.11, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards use the same 2.4 GHz band. All must interoperate with each other, which introduces additional overhead reducing channel throughput. Many sites already have products using the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz band. Additionally, there are many other products that use the same 2.4 GHz frequencies as used by Wi-Fi. Other products include Bluetooth, cordless phones, video game controllers, surveillance cameras, and microwave ovens.
    Before the installation of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a site can be tested for channel interference and utilization with tools from AirMagnet, Wild Packets, Cognio, and others. The Wireless Control System (WCS) AP On-Demand Statistics Display report provides a spectrum review of the following:
    •Noise by channel
    •Interference by channel
    •Client count versus RSSI
    •Client count versus SNR
    •Channel radar detection versus time
