  • 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's the best way to setup new iMac i7 coming on Monday?

    So here's a question for everyone of the very smart people who monitor this thread. I have a G5 tower with Leopard on it and a Macbook Pro (1 generation ago) with Snow on it. First I was planning on starting up the iMac to see if everything worked well. Then install Nikon Scan to see if my film scanner (Nikon 9000) works with the new machine and Snow and then if all goes well migrate the Macbook to it. Or is it better to migrate from the MBP's time capsule backup. My MBP has all I need on it, more so than my G5 tower which seemed to have fallen by the wayside when I got the laptop. Thanks for all the help I've consistently gotten on here btw.

    For the Migration, if the Time Machine backup is recent, then it does not matter if you migrate from the MacBook Pro or from the Time Machine backup.
    Your plan to try out the new iMac +as is+ before migrating is a good one. That's how I would proceed. Apply Apple's recent updates using Software Update, but do not migrate data or install third-party software until you are satisfied that the iMac is working 100%. If you run into a problem, it will be much easier to troubleshoot.
    Your comment about first installing the Nikon Scan software to make sure it works is also a smart idea. You should install that software, and then other third-party software you need, and check for any issues, before migrating your user data.
    From jamesholden post:
    however if you do a clean Leopard install, then install your drivers and software, then upgrade to Snow Leopard, they tend to continue working.
    That would not be possible on a new iMac, since you cannot install Leopard on it.
    If you do the user data transfer using Migration Assistant, I would set it to only migrate Users, not +Applications, Settings, or Other...+ That will transfer your user data, but leave other data alone.

  • What is the best format for a new video editing hard drive?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to properly format a new 2 TB Hitachi hard drive that I have for my early 2008 Mac Pro that will be installed in drive slot 3. Information at the following link explains that:
    "Journaling is essential for OS disks (boot drives), but for disks used for video media, used for editing purposes, Journaling is not advised, as it can affect the speed of data being written. For video media (scratch) drives you would want to select the Mac OS Extended, no journaling."
    "Journaling only affects the speed of either writing to or modifying a file, it has no effect on the read speed of files. If you're writing a lot of data, for for a long period of time, like capturing video, the write speed of the data will slow down, as the Journaling record keeps updating it's self."
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/formatting_hd_macstone.html
    My question is, is this information legit and should I format my new hard drive using Mac OS Extended? I will be using it solely for the purpose of reading and writing HDV and AVCHD video files using Final Cut Pro 7.
    Thanks
    Tom

    Hi there,
    Ive always followed the idea that journalling is turned off, so I would follow the advice given and turn journalling off.
    In addition I would also make that drive "private" to spotlight so it doesn't search or catalogue there.
    If its of interest, I've always formatted my drives in the following way
    make 2 partitions,
    partition 1 - make this about 10% of the drives capacity and label DO NOT USE
    partition 2 - make this the remainder of the capacity
    the reason being (So Im told by the drive gurus) is that the first sector contains the volumes boot block - this can get corrupted/damaged so having it partitioned like this means you can erase it safely whilst keeping your media.
    Ive followed this for years and it has worked on the few occasions a drive has misbehaved.
    cheers
    Andy

  • What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?

    What is the best skin for new Macbook Air 13"?
    I have a new Air and want to protect it from scratches and such.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, I don't like "skins". They inhibit the heat transfer necessary to keep your MBA cool. Get a soft or hard case to store it when not in use. I like Speck products.
    Just take care of it. Battle scars make it uniquely yours.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

  • What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation).  I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

    What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation).  I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

    The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
    As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

  • What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?

    What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?  I don't know very much about Microsoft (almost nothing).  Does she need to plug into one of the USB ports on her Microsoft computer (about 5 years old)?  I also have an iMac (that I use for syncing but she needs her contacts from Outlook.  She doesn't really want all of them...there are 1,000's of teachers that work in her district and she does no tent to add 1,000's of contacts.

    If she only has a few she can e-mail those contacts to herself, open that mail on her iPad and save them from there.

  • 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?

    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 laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

    I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
    So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
    but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
    So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
    Thanks for Helping me .

    I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))
