I've recently had to replace my Mac Pro with a Mac Book Pro (an interim step while awaiting the new Mac Pro) and have discovered that my laziness re: DAM has caught up with me.
I was running 4 drives inside the Mac pro plus an external drive and a backup RAID. I have years of sessions littered over all those drives and always promised myself I would consolidate them but never did. Now, after using Migration Assistant to load up my Macbook Pro, I'm encountering database errors whenever I try to open my old sessions.
I think part of it is a permissions issue. In the past, I've always used carbon copy cloner to make transitions to new start/system drives so everything came along and the various connections remained intact. But I wanted to be sure of a nice clean install on my new MBP and I think the decision to use Migration Assistant is what's behind my problems.
Not to mention that (for now) all those previously connected drives are being accessed one at a time with a drive dock.
Is there an alternative to re-importing all of my old original files into one new catalog? Any way to re-establish the connections to those old sessions?
It's something of a nightmare and I've officially learned my lesson. I thought I was cool because I had so much redundancy. But the center didn't hold and I'm faced with building a new catalog spanning years of C1 work!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim
