    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    And I appreciate your patience even more - because wearing another hat - I answer beginning weavers' questions online ;-) Certainly, not the volume that you have answered, there are more photographers on the internet than weavers!

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    Thank you, Cletus. I appreciate your patience with me. I like my folders tidy and haven’t been good with keywords, etc., so I’ll give it a try.

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    THANK YOU, Cletus! I don't remember having to do that before but Doug had set-up my Lightroom on my old computer for me. He was my personal Lightroom geek. Simple solution for an overthinking mind! I no longer have the photos from December 2017 to now on anything but my photo hard drive...

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    Sorry ....... I tried using the import with what was visible on your screenshot earlier, but that didn't work. This is what mine looks like. I store my photos on a separate hard drive. Could this be causing the problem? My husband's photos are on the computer and his photos won't be added...

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    OK - it snapped back to life - I Have no idea what happened there but the option to Quit Lightroom is still greyed out at the top left of my computer. In the meantime, I did get a screenshot and I created a little drop down menu of how I've used Lightroom for years. Hope this helps you and...

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    Thank you! I've just tried to do that and Lightroom is frozen. I've tried to shut it down and it won't. I've also tried to shut down my Mac but it won't let me because Lightroom is open!

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    Thank you Cletus - I tried that but I end up getting the subfolder for the year, then another - all with 3 levels of photos. If I try to remove any of the levels, all my photos in all 3 levels disappear. I've tried but wasn't able to do it and I've still got my card from the camera waiting to...

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    I've created monthly folders in the past except for the times we went on special trips. I wasn't able to take many photos last year but maybe you can see from this screenshot what I used to do. I would like to just list them as year with the month as the subfolder but I think things changed...

    Import Setting up folders on import and changing folder names

    I can't seem to set up my folders the way I have organized them in the past. Maybe there is a setting I'm not aware of and I've tried to find an answer in the newest book but I seem to be hung up. I understand that I now have to change the folder "tree" within Lightroom - not in Finder, the...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Apple Care was able to go through a back door and change the permissions on all Doug's photos!! I finally have full choice of his photos to print and take in to him. Thanks for being there when I needed help, Johan - even on the weekend.

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Thanks, Johan! I'll give it a try later today. If it works it will certainly be easier than going through them one by one. I've managed to print about a dozen recent photos for Doug - I'll get him to choose a group and we can put them up on his wall to make his room in Hospice more personal...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Yes - that's what I've been doing ....... However, when I get into the folder, every single photo is locked and I get the message saying that I do not have permission to open document "300D-20040403-1910.JPG" and I can change the permission on the single photo. Other photos taken the same day...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Thanks Johan - I think I'm totally in the ball park of an Apple problem. I don't have permission to even preview a single photo prior to 2009. It's rather bizarre that I can open up any photos after that! However, if I go into an individual photo and change the permissions, it comes into...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    After a few tries, I was able to create a back-up folder Lightroom accepted! Unfortunately you are correct about the permissions on selected folders. I have no idea why some of them work and others do not. It isn't just the RAW versus JPEG situation I thought it was. I'll need to go...

    Sorry - another question :-( Just tried to do the Lightroom back-up for his photos and this message popped up:

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    I just figured out that the missing pictures might be jpegs taken with our little Canon G12. I guess Lightroom is only showing the RAW photos taken with Doug's main camera.

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Whew! You are a genius plus a guru! It looks like it's mostly working - including the keywords that Doug had carefully put in. Any suggestions about what I can do with this message - will being patient help???

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Thanks Johan - I'll work on this when I'm at home over the weekend and reach out if I have a problem. Am I missing something in keywords on the Library page? Sorry to be such a dunce!

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Good morning Johan - it's close to bedtime here ;-) I've taken a screen shot of the folder that Lightroom is in. Doug's photos are in the main folder Pictures. Hopefully you will be able to help once you see this.

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    All his files are in a folder under his name on this computer. I know it's confusing but originally we were going to both replace our computers and we bought this one for him. It was set up for him and working beautifully with all his photos in his version of Lightroom. He became bedridden...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Both our catalogs are on the same computer. Originally set up under two users, however his user ID crashed and there was no way to get it back - according to Apple. He was using his purchased version and I had set up CC when I started moving my files to this new computer. All his files are on...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    Thank you for your help, Cerianthus. After a lot of trying to change the permissions on what I thought were the necessary files - I now have brought what I thought was the right catalog into my copy of Lightroom. However, I see all his folders under Navigator and all his carefully logged...

    How do I access another catalog in my copy of Lightroom

    We were in the process of amalgamating all our files onto one computer (new Mac) when I had problems with my husband's user ID disappearing. Apple Core weren't able to help me but all of my husband's files are still on this computer. I'm running Lightroom under my CC subscription. What I need...
