• The combination catlogs referencing pictures on several external hard drives?

  Hello:

  Working with a client who had about 250 000 images stored on two 2 TB external hard drives... some pictures on each drive...

  We went just to LR CC2015 and I would like to eliminate the redundancy of the CATALOG.

  To get started, I created two catalogues, one for each hard disk and imported (added that copies of the photos of each disc).

  Now I want to combine catalogs in a renowned referencing all the pictures on it

  several external hard drives.

  I think it is ok to do this but it best to double check with forum initially thought. Thanks in advance for the help.

  You can use the "Import an another catalog" option under the file menu to import a catalog into another. I suggest that you set "File management" as shown in the attached screenshot. In this way there is no need to move/reconnect files/photos associated with the source file.

• I have win xp SP3 installed on my PC. I use several external hard drives to store video files. How can I make sure that they maintain the same drive letter, every time that I connect them?

  All these hard disks are connected via the USB ports, but not all of them are connected at the same time. I use Adobe first Elements to edit videos, & if I open an adobe project it is expected that the video files will always be under the same drive letter.

  Have you tried to assign drive letters using disk management?
  Mount your drive, then

  Start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc".

  Find your player in the list, right-click on it and select "change drive letter and paths...". »

  You use IPHOTOS or PHOTOS and what version of the operating system.

  You can have several libraries in IPHOTOS and PICTURES (in the pictures that only your library designated system is synchronized with other devices via ICLOUD).     You can split the libraries of useful information - like a vacation, family events, pictures of your pets.

• Project on external hard drive is missing! Help, please!

  Hello, my name is Alex Randazzo, and Ive been working on this project for the past 3-4 years and I am within a month of a feature by 2 1/2 hour of finishing. I have the project saved on several external hard drives, but I spent last week working on the project on A external hard drive, is no longer only than the other drives.

  I was working on my project, and all of a sudden a warning popped up message, warning THAT FCPX has detected a problem, exit FCPX now to save your project.

  I left FCPX, I have encountered this problem before and have had no problem leaving FCPX and restarted with the result of everything being fine.
  I did it once again.  But this time, when I opened FCPX back, my project disappeared! I don't know what to do!

  The project is loaded in the timeline panel, but the project is empty.

  The event is raising Dragons Movie0 and it is the only one who doesn't even have a box of purple and the star.

  

  WWhat version? What OS? Close the application. Go in library bundle and place the flexolibrary file in the trash. Relaunch the application. If the database rebuild you will have to try to open a recent backup.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

  In my opinion?

  I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

  Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

  As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

  From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

  Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

  I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.
