  Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this?

  So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

  Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

• iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

  Hello world

  I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

  so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

  My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

  Cheers!

  See make a library of portable split. You will need either a for OS X NTFS driver or driver for HFS + for Windows in order to use the drive with an operating system. Also note that there is a delay when you first launch after passage of one BONE to the other.

• Memory full. HPW to identify and remove duplicate files. great western digital external hard drive is that it is not working properly

  hsving obvous problem assostated with little or no space drive. slow operion of progtams "program does not" and 'unable to write' trusted sites.

  Sometimes when the hard disk becomes incredibly full, you can even copy files to an external hard drive. In such cases, simply pull the disk and put in a USB external hard drive case. Attach it to a working computer and copy the data in this way, either on a drive in the system of work or another external hard drive (it will be slower). Delete the data out of the full disc.

• Share a lightroom catalog - Does the catalog and images on external hard drive work?

  I manage a small part of the flow of images overall of the client by updating their prescence web basis with new works and relabelling/download earlier works. I believe that this requires the catalogue and the library of images that will be hosted on an external hard drive that can travel between us two. We work both on PC with LR 5.3.

  The workflow should look like this:

  Customer uploads new images on external hard drive and import LR

  'ClientCatalog' is created

  Flags of pickaxes and creates a Collection of those Picks

  Hard disk is handed to me when I opened "ClientCatalog".

  Make changes suggested in pictures

  Add detailed tags and metadata

  Download on various media sites, social and Web sites

  return the drive to the customer

  Is there a potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive, so there is no worries for the catalog with all updates. Can someone find out about potential problems, that I might have forgotten? Are there of "security protocols" you would add in to this workflow (not to mention that everythign on another hard disk mirroring) which would you suggest?

  I came across this problem with my own catalog a few weeks ago. I plugged my external hard drive into a different USB port and everything was gone.

  Not gone, just addressed. It can be re-addressed as required. I think that's enough on MacOs, to name the drive. Under Windows, the details vary depending on the version of the OS (Google for instructions), but it's for Win7:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows7/HT/change-drive-letters-Windows-7.htm

  and it's a good idea to assign a drive letter quite a bit more later in the alphabet, to restrict the possibility of ever finding this already taken letter. For example, it might be X: to HDD external , or P: for Plug in car, or anything that makes sense to you...

  After having done this, the re-start of Lightroom and open the catalog, images will be at the first go in offline mode (previously used location not found). To get online, it will be necessary to re - browse the folder parent for all your image files, to reflect its new location under the new reference in car. That done, the location information of catalog for all images and subfolders located under this parent folder, automatically updated. If that parent does not appear in the list of records of LR, you right-click and choose "show Parent". Display LR then reorganizes to reflect this real hierarchy.

• External hard drive working half arsed

  I have a 2 month old Fantom 2 to external hard drive that I use to store my DVD on since my Carousel begins to fritz.  My new TV does not need to reproduce video files so I can just connect the HD to it and run them from there.  Somehow one of my DVDs got screwed up and half of the titles are in Japanese instead of English so I unplugged and put onr the Win XP computer and ripped the files as straight MP4s.  Unfortunately, I named the files wrong while the second disc was playing before the first.  When I went to hang the HD to the computer it's show is more like a hard drive.  My computer it shows as a removable disk and keys USB and cd player.  Safely remove and Device Manager list it by his old letter of player but it doen't show at all in disk management.  By clicking on the removable drive just hangs up workstation instead to open the drive.  Any ideas on how I can get the drive back to its original state?  Oh yes, the deytects of the TV when you first plug then flashes a message that he cnnot find the drive and it does not list it on the entry screen.

• external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

  Hello

  My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

  I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

  I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

  It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

  I use the last BONES of El capitan.

  Any guidance will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

  can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

  (also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

  the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

  Use with this hard drive inside.

  The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

  There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

  cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

  inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

  So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

  If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

  Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

  must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

  For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

  Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

  and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

  At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

  In any case...

  Good luck & happy computing!
