• IPhoto migration from an external drive: stuck with hard links to the external hard drive

  I got my IPhoto library on an external drive. To migrate to pictures, I dragged the IPhoto (on the external hard disk) file to the Photos icon.

  Migration went well, but instead of importing data to the external hard drive to my macbook, Photos stored links on the external drive. Now whenever I start the Photos, the system tells me it takes the external drive to view the contents of the library.

  To resolve this problem, I tried to copy my IPhoto library on my macbook and redo the import. It does not work: Photos, said the library has been upsized already (I noticed that the IPhoto library has been renamed 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary')

  Is it possible to reverse the migration or mark the IPhoto library as not yet migrated? Any other suggestions?

  Thanks for your help!

  Rename the copy of the iPhoto library on your internal drive to 'iPhoto Library.photolibrary '.  Then drag the library renamed on the Photos icon and pictures will create a new photo library on your internal drive.

• Images-links - folder in external hard drive

  Hi, I m a basic Indesign user and I have a problem with the images.

  "When I create a new document or a book, I always create a folder to put the «.indd/.indb file" and create a subfolder named "images". (I m using an external hard drive)

  My problem occurs whenever I have to change the computer I'm working on. (usually I use a laptop computer and another computer sometimes). When I change the computer, the "drive letter" changes too, as "E:\MyBook\" goes to "F:\MyBook" break all the links in my images.

  My question is. West somehow configure Indesign (or just the document) to recognize all of the 'main' folder when creating links? Like '< all > \MyBook\Images?

  Thank you.

  If the links folder is in the same way as the ID file, it should automatically find the links, so copy the links folder to the drive pahrd and the file ID (bad idea to work on a file that is stored on a flash drive).

• Library exported to external hard drive, error in the attempt to link to files on hard drive

  Hello

  I recently started using lightroom and stored the files on the local drive of my macbook pro (current operating system) up to that I ran out of space. Export the catalog a HD external, then deleted the files from the local disk. As I tried to import the .lrcat file for export to the external hard drive and received this error message:

  "Cannot import this catalog at this time. The catalog is in use by another copy of Lightroom or has been closed properly. If it was badly closed, please consider getting a health check at the opening. »

  I'm not in LR on other computers, so I'm thinking that Lightroom was "closed badly. However I can not know what to do, and technical support will not help me without the serial number which I can't because I'm travelling. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.

  Jordan

  If you indeed export the catalog on the external hard drive, you don't need to import it. Just double-click on the copy of the catalog that is located on your external drive.

  Furthermore, your serial number is available in the menu help/information system.

• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

• How to change the location of the folder to iCloud on external hard drive OSX

  Hi, I have a small hard drive (128 ssd) I'd like to archive my photos in the ICloud drive. Currently I store in my external drive usb, but if I copy them to the folder of the iCloud drive it will consume my internal space I want to stay free. Ideally, would be to have iCloud drive linked to the file in the external hard drive, so he would be sure space me ssd.  I can't find any option in system to change his circumstances as I can with the photo library.

  There is no option

• Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

  Hello!

  I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

  Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.

• External hard drive WD Element

  I had this WD element external hard drive for over a year now, which can connect to any PC or Apple, but for some reason that I myself brought recently the MacBook Pro and now my external hard drive WD Element only want work

  When she wants to. I am struggling to get it working 100% every time. I know that my hard drive works cos I have connected to my old Mac G3 and I see the hard drive, but not on my MacBook Pro. What can I do to make it work every time?

  You can try to perform a SMC reset. Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support. (The previous sentence is a clickable link)

  Drives external WD hard seem to get more complaints than any other player. They use a chipset of decorum and cheap components and seem to be more prone to error than the other speakers. If the gives still drive troubles you, you pourriez be able to remove the drive from its case and put it in another forum. I like the housings of OWC . I say maybe because I've seen also some WD external drives that do not use the standard SATA drives.

• How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

  I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

  Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

• Problem moving iTunes to external hard drive

  Hi my old laptop (works on Windows Vista) think that all my music is located on the way on my c: drive by default, in fact, all my music is on my external hard drive. I know how to change the path via the preferences on my hard drive, but how to import my music without creating a massive amount of duplicates? Thanks in advance for any help.

  See make a library of portable split. If your library is in the standard layout and that you moved the folder media manually, then move the main iTunes folder to the root of the drive, put the inside and shift-Start iTunes media folder. This must be equivalent to a simple move of a portable library.

  Otherwise, see this post - Re: iPod doesn't sync not all -advice on the reissue of links the library to the media outsourced. Ideally, you would set things in a provision of mobile as part of the same process to make sure that the library on external drive is ready to connect to any computer replacement. You should also backup to a second drive.

• models of 5 and moving animation on external hard drive

  I have a video project created at the FCC. I used a movement 5 for a text within the FCP model. I need to move on an external hard drive for a customer. I consolidated and moved the PCF files to the external drive, but the model came not during. Just the red screen with exclamation point. I guess it's a problem of linking somehow, but have been pulling my hair out trying to figure how to recover the text. Any thoughts? Thank you.

  Animation models are separated from the material FCPX, effects and patterns. Look in your user/films/Motion models folder. You can copy it to the external hard drive, but it will need added to the model Motion record the new hosts. You will also need the fonts used.

• External hard drive on Macbook Pro

  So I got a macbook pro for about 5 years now, and he is currently shooting OSX El Capitan. I have a Toshiba external hard drive that runs on it. I had problems editing on that before, when I upgraded to OSX El Capitan, but I downloaded a update for it and it started working again.

  Just today, I just bought a new macbook pro (retina, 512 GB HDD, 8 GB memory display) also running OSX El Capitan. But when I plug the external hard drive it does not rise. I've seen similar issues on here before the problem is "lack of power", but I don't see why my old work and isn't my only new. I also saw a solution to reformat the external hard drive, but that would erase all my data on the external hard drive, and which completely defeats the purpose of an external HD then. And for me, it is already formatted for mac. Did he have the same problem and found a solution?

  What format is the external? How is it connected to the Mac? How is it linked to iPhoto?

• In iMovie 9.0.4 How can I move events to an external hard drive?

  Note: I am writing this issue on behalf of my daughter, who is an old iMac running 10.6.8.   His version of iMovie is 9.0.4.

  She has about 50 GB, events which occupies about one-third of its HD.  There is an external hard drive with lots of available storage.

  How to pass these events to the external hard drive?

  Thank you

  Owen

  For a long time I used iMovie 9 but this link to the help info gives instructions: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

  Its probably safer to copy rather than move events (unless you already have a backup) just in case something goes wrong.

• Can I save one external hard drive to another on a mac?

  I have just changed Windows for iMac and I have no idea of the backup of the system on a mac.

  I have an external hard drive that is used for the pictures I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I want to know how I can backup this disc on an another external hard drive and update only the files that have changed on the original disc.

  It would be also possible to save the iMac to a third external hard drive?

  I would really appreciate the help.

  The best way to save your Mac's Time Machine. It can save the Mac gradually and keeps a history of backups, so that you can go to different moments in time when you restore your Mac.  Time Machine can also include external drives to the backup, see this link: the basics of the Mac: Time Machine

  If you want to save your Media Player separately use cloning software for updating a copy cloned, for example carbon copy clone.

• When opening pictures library from AN external hard drive don't no iCloud

  I copied my library of photos on my external hard drive in the hope of making as his permanent home home.  Then, I help option keys and clicked to open it in its new location.  I then received the warning (paraphrased to the point); "to use the cloud for a library of Photos photo services, it must be located in the folder of images from the local hard drive."  I have not seen this reported by anyone online from any of the hundreds of people posting about moving the photo library.  Can you get it someone please let me know what happens?

  What is the exact message? Of course to know exactly what it is is essential to help

  What format is the EHD? It may be only Mac OS extended (journaled) and use iCloud photo library, it takes the system library (defined in the preferences of Photos)

  S how it connected? There must be a quick link cable

  And it cannot be used as your Time Machine backup volume
