What is the best tutorial for moving a LR 2.5 catalog?

I have used up all of the space on my hard drive so I need to move my LR2 catalog to my Western Digital external hard drive.  I know this can be a very sensitive process to move a catalog so I was wondering what you thought would be the best list of instructions to use?  I have the Scott Kelby for LR too.
If you could share your favorite line, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Do you want to move the catalog or the pictures? It's not the same.
There's no point to move the catalog - it doesn't take that much space. I doubt you have a hard drive smaller some 200 GB or so.
If you want to move the pictures, there's not need for tutorial - that's not that hard. Move the pictures folder in Explorer/Finder. When you open Lightroom, all your files and folders will be reported as missing. Go to Library, Folders panel, right-click the top-level folder and choose Find Missing Folder. If you have more than one top-level folder, do this for each of them.

  • What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer

    Hello,
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
    My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
    I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
    My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
    1. New Copy
    2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
    3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
    Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml.

  • What is the best method for moving to a new Retina MacBook Pro from an Early 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant?

    I'd like to transfer all data to the new MacBook as seamless as possible. Don't want to reinstall software. Using Migration Assistant in past was successful, but I always used Firewire or Ethernet.
    Apple's Thunderbolt cable is too expensive at $49. Wifi is way too slow. (Transfering my 500GBs was going to take over 100 hours.) Do I need to get a Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet adapter and cable? That's about the same price as the Thunderbolt cable. Is transfer over USB 2 possible? Would I be better off restoring from my Carbon Copy Clone on my USB 2 external drive?
    I do not use Time Machine.

    Stephen Coles wrote:... Do I need to get a Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet adapter and cable?
    That's what I used, although I already had the ethernet cable. Just directly connected both machines (after turning off Airport on the old one), no router or anything else, and ran Migration Assistant on both ends. Transfered a user account with about 30Gb data, nothing else. 

  • What is the best method for transferring iTunes library from PC to iMac?

    I have a new iMac.  I have authorized it with my iTunes account.  My current iTunes library is on a Windows Vista PC, not on the same network.  What is the best method for me to use to transfer the iTunes library from the PC to the iMac?
    iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    Did I just answer this in another post for you?
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • HT1229 what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

    what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • What are the best practies for naming symbols (spaces OK,etc.)?

    What are the best practices for symbol naming for ease, flexibility, & to avoid "gatchas" down the road?
    Does it make any difference if one includes spaces in the names of symbols?  Are there any widely followed conventions for naming them like using camelCase or underscores?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gina D 3333,
    Best-practice file-naming conventions for PDF files are the same as for any other file. I found this article on Apple's website that contains some useful pointers to consider when you're naming files that will be used on multiple platforms: OS X: Cross-platform filename best practices and conventions
    I hope this helps!

  • What is the best practice for changing view states?

    I have a component with two Pie Charts that display
    percentages at two specific dates (think start and end values).
    But, I have three views: Start Value only, End Value only, or show
    Both. I am using a ToggleButtonBar to control the display. What is
    the best practice for changing this kind of view state? Right now
    (since this code was inherited), the view states are changed in an
    ActionScript function which sets the visible and includeInLayout
    properties on each Pie Chart based on the selectedIndex of the
    ToggleButtonBar, but, this just doesn't seem like the best way to
    do this - not very dynamic. I'd like to be able to change the state
    based on the name of the selectedItem, in case the order of the
    ToggleButtons changes, and since I am storing the name of the
    selectedItem for future reference.
    Would using States be better? If so, what would be the best
    way to implement this?
    Thanks.

    I would stick with non-states, as I have always heard that
    states are more for smaller components that need to change under
    certain conditions, like a login screen that changes if the user
    needs to register.
    That said, if the UI of what you are dealing with is not
    overly complex, and if it will not become overly complex, maybe
    states is the way to go.
    Looking at your code, I don't think you'll save much in terms
    of lines of code.

  • What's the best photograph for a no background image?

    I am about to photograph some products and would like to make a set up where I can photograph each of the products in the same setting/lighting. Then, when I go to open/edit them in PhotoshopCS4, I can take out the background and have just the image. Then, I can place that image ontop of any background I want. There is one bad thing. Some of these have a clear top where you can see thru them. Does or will that make a difference?
    I want to set it up like they do for the weather on television, have a blue background and erase all of the blue showing. Then the only thing showing in the end is the digital background that was added in by computer and the weatherman(unless he's wearing a blue tie, in which case you can see the info through him). But my question still stands, what is the best setting for this and/or background color, how should the photographs be taken and then opened and edited(removing the background) using PhotoshopCS4?
    We have a lighting set up, a 30" x 30" x 30" light tent setup, 3 lights with Pro Light Reflectors(one on the left, one on the right and one on top), 1 white and 1 black background and a box to place the images on. I'm using a Nikon D100.
    Attached in a photo example.
    This was taken with the black background and you can see the black through the bottle. I erased all of the surrounding black, but the dark shades still show on the sides.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Sean

    The whole point is that these photographs will be used for the book, manuals, magazines, ads... The backgrounds will not always be the same.  That's my main problem. I am trying to figure out a way for the glass of the bottles to be "glass" images or "see through" so that when the photograph is placed on a background of, let's say, flowers, the flowers would show through. The edges of the glass are still solid and the flowers would not show thru them, but...
    Is this type of thing possible for printing quality photographs?
    Note - In the attched photo, it can be seen that the black background can be seen the plastic cap.

  • What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

    What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
    1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema.     Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema     Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
    OR
    2. Using single schema for all users.
    Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.

  • What is the best artical for understanding Data Pump

    Hi,
    What is the best artical for understanding the relationship / dependency of NETWORK_LINK with FLASHBACK_SCN or FLASHBACK_TIME .
    Why it is manditory to have NETWORK_LINK , when we are using FLASHBACK_SCN or FLASHBACK_TIME.
    Can some one explain the internal for that dependency
    Thanks
    Naveen

    There's no direct dependency between NETWORK_LINK and FLASHBACK_SCN and FLASHBACK_TIME
    As noted in this Oracle doc,
    If the NETWORK_LINK parameter is specified, the SCN refers to the SCN of the source database
    FLASHBACK_SCN and FLASHBACK_TIME are mutually exclusive.

  • What is the best practice for inserting (unique) rows into a table containing key columns constraint where source may contain duplicate (already existing) rows?

    My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint.  I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make up the key in the final data table but are not constrained
    (not unique) in the daily capture table).  I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns).  Currently, what I do is to select * into a #temp table from the join
    of daily capture and final data tables on these two key columns.  Then I delete the rows in the daily capture table which match the #temp table.  Then I insert the remaining rows from daily capture into the final data table. 
    Would it be possible to simplify this process by using an Instead Of trigger in the final table and just insert directly from the daily capture table?  How would this look?
    What is the best practice for inserting unique (new) rows and ignoring duplicate rows (rows that already exist in both the daily capture and final data tables) in my particular operation?
    Rich P

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for: 
    https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
    >> My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. [unh? one two-column key or two one column keys? Sure wish you posted DDL] I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make
    up the key in the final data table but are not constrained (not unique) in the daily capture table). <<
    Then the "capture table" is not a table at all! Remember the fist day of your RDBMS class? A table has to have a key.  You need to fix this error. What ETL tool do you use? 
    >> I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). <<
    MERGE statement; Google it. And do not use temp tables.

  • What is the Best practice for ceramic industry?

    Dear All;
    i would like to ask two questions:
    1- which manufacturing category (process or discrete) fit ceramic industry?
    2- what is the Best practice for ceramic industry?
    please note from the below link
    [https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000409682008E ]
    i recognized that ceramic industry is under category called building material which in turn under mill product and mining
    but there is no best practices for building material or even mill product and only fabricated meta and mining best practices is available.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
    In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
    I hope this helps you
    Regards,
    Eduardo
