Can anyone help me with a similar problem please? I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro OS X Snow Leopard. I am using both Windows and Mac on this computer. I downloaded Lightroom on trial and installed it in the Windows section. Now I have purchased a new boxed version but I have not as yet either a) used the licence number to validate the trial version nor b) install it from the CD.

I want to install it on Mac and retrieve my Lightroom files from Windows. Being a beginner to Lightroom, as yet I do not have anything too complicated on the trial version.

How do I do this please?

Many thanks in advance

What do you mean when you say “settings”?

I’ve done what you describe above. No probs with the catalogue so far. I struggle to get LR on the Imac to recognise my settings from the PC though. I’ve copied them exactly in the location described above but they don’t appear in LR at all.

Thanks a loT!! I’m not a computer wizard and was able to do this with no problem, just followed your instructions!
