using lightroom 1.4.1, started out on pc windows xp and then got a laptop vista 64 bit, i copied my all my photos i had on pc to laptop so as to have same inventory. i then installed lr1.4.1 save version as i have on pc to laptop.
i wish to transfer my pc lr to laptop lr.there has to be a easy way to do this but i cannot get it done now after 6' hours of trying..i back up lr upon startup to my ext hd daily so......i tried importing this most recent back up into laptop from ext hd and it started building the exact pc version into the laptop just fine,folders and collections, keywords and all...there was a catch, seems like new folders were red and when i clicked on them to associate to photos on laptop they wouldnt, so i deleted each individual library folder off laptop lr ......
will someone please post how to transfer from one machine to the other the easiest\simpliest way to do this.ive spent multiple 1's of hours combing through this for weeks now, and i cant get this done no matter what method i attempt.........im not very tech savy and dont know about folder hierarcy so well but id think somehow you could very easily just transpose from one machine to the other especially since your 8''' photo's in transfered files and in lightroom match the ones on my laptop no problem in your my pictures folder....
for the ones that i do have transferred onto my laptop, through various methods, i noticed yesterday some of them have errors on attached sidecar file.this is a total mess right now..... all i want to do is get my pc and laptop exactly matched so i may essentially have my laptop as a dedicated photo machine........
how all these different transferring techniques ive tried to do this and it results in problems is crazy...i was able to take my lr printing user templates off pc by exporting them as catalogs to ext hd then finding on laptop my user templates folder and getting them into laptop and they transferred just fine, why cant you do something so simple as that for your library folders \collections and all existing associated data????
