Am looking for the easiest, most fool-proof way to transfer images taken a trip, edited on a laptop LR and then stored on an external ssd and, upon return, transfer everything to my desktop. Your guidance will be much appreciated.
Somehow (not quite sure how) I found the pesky folder, have renamed it, opened Lightroom and magically a new plist folder was created. I will now see if Lightroom does not grey out my images as before.
Thanks to all for your patience and help.
In the attached screen shot I display the Adobe preferences in the folder. I don't see any Lightroom ones other than adobe.Adobe-Lightroom-Helper.plist
Is that the one I should rename and then open Lightroom?
Gentlemen, Thank you for your efforts. It's obvious I'm a neophyte in matters software. I do not understand the bowels of LR.
I did manage to find the Preferences folder under Library (screenshot attached )and discovered I have dozens, maybe hundreds, of preferences. Which do I rename? Then...
I went to the backup because I needed to get some images out.
You are correct that it did not fix the issue. Today, most (probably all) my images are greyed out. As i said earlier, I could not find the User Library path you told me to follow. I sent a screen shot of my dead end. Where did I err?
I restored LR from a recent backup, trashed the catalog that was giving me problems and the backup seems to be working. I just hope that continues. Thanks for your help!
I can not find the path to rename the preferences file. Could you please elaborate? What would I rename the file when I find it?
I believe I do have earlier backups I could resort to
I upgraded to Catalina shortly after it was released.
The Option key worked, I opened a new catalog and successfully imported 4 images. Now how do I return to my original catalog where all my images/edits reside?
Thanks again for your help!
I have 496.8 GB available out of 1.12. My RAM is 32 GB. Have no idea what a Swapfile is.
How do I open an empty catalog? LR doesn't open. Should I try opening a backup?
Have been having issues with LR 9.2.1 for a few weeks now. If left open and not saved entire folders are greyed out and upon clicking on a greyed image, the screen says it's loading. It doesn't. I've had to close LR and reopen and then all is well. Today, all is not well: LR does not open at all...
Somehow my catalog got corrupted and I recovered a backup. Now the only way I can open LR is to go to Pictures/Lightroom and double click on the LR icon I copied from the backup. If I try to open LR through the app or the icon on the bottom of my screen I get the message that LR that it cannot...
I have to make a presentation of a series of images and wish to display on the projected image the relevant camera settings: lens, focal length, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Cannot find any instructions. Can someone help? Many thanks!
Thank you for your reply. I went away for two days, returned, tried downloading again and bingo! Success! Have no idea how or why as I did nothing other than re-install LR. I have adequate space in both hard drives and did not fiddle with any permissions (I don't even know how to). So, all is...
Found this surprise today when trying to import a raw file: destination folder not writable. Imported yesterday without issue. Uninstalled and re-installed LR Classic and the issue continues. Am working on a desktop Mac running version 10-14.4.
Any recommendations? I thank you in advance!
Problem resolved with a trusted old stand-by: I closed LR then re-opened it. All the little sync icons magically re-appeared. Thank you for your patience.
The problem is that the faint square box before the collection name is not there. Neither before the new collection I wish to sync nor any of the other collections that have been synced.
