• To edit first with different computers, with an external hard drive

  Is it possible to have several editors work with an external hard drive in cs6 first so that when the external drive is reconnected to a different computer that the files do not have to be reconnected. It seems that every time that the hard drive is open on another computer, it loses track of where the files are located and we spend a moment to reconnect them.

  Just check that the drive letter of the disk is the same for all computers.

• Synchronize folders with an external hard drive.

  Can anyone help? I want to be able to sync my library and office with an external hard drive (Freecom on USB) files.  The goal is to be able to maintain an up to the minute backup of all my files, so that the next time my hard drive failure I have to absolutely all backed up. I am aware that that is not only the problem of accidental deletion of files so periodically I will also manually save the backup to a different folder on the same hard drive, or is it also possible to get windows to schedule this backup type automatically)? Or y at - it another way to achieve this level of security of the files without a mirror raid arrays (or spend more money on hardware or software)?

  Try this:

• I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

  Hello

  So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

  I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

  Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

  This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

• # 500-164 HP model: backed up my files in 2 external hard drives, and then made recovery, came back and recovery error

  I saved my files to two external hard drives and then did a recovery.  After the end of the recovery, it says error recovery and no change to the computer.    I left that screen and booted up, but the computer does not go to the lock screen.  Circle of HP logo lights up and goes, but nothing happens.

  How can I get to the lock screen?   I have tried F11 and Esc.

  Your post shows your PC than the execution of win10, but it comes preinstalled with Win8x.  This means that at some point, you've done setting at Win10 level, and unfortunately, that corrupts the information of HP recovery: HP Recovery Manager blocked after Windows 10 Upgrade - HP Support Forum's - 5170752

  Once you do this upgrade, the ONLY way to perform a recovery after that use HP recovery media.

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  ---------------------------------------
  However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.
  ---------------------------------------

  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

• Best version of older iTunes to a cell phone with big external hard drive?

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 (circa 2007), I would like to use with my stereo to serve music from an external hard drive 1 TB.  The Dell has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.5 Ghz and 2.00 memory of concert, with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.  You want to keep software compatible with the vintage of the material but with enough ability to index a concert music library 500 +.  It is a standalone function for this machine.  What version of iTunes would go faster on this hardware and still have the ability to manage a large playlist?

  Thank you.

  The latest version of iTunes (12.3.2) should be fine.  My only concern would be the one with 2 GB of memory you pouvez experience some performance issues with an important library (where the key factor is the number of items in the library rather than the disk storage they occupy).  Additionally, you may experience glitches reading occasional and/or slow when responses to changes in your library if the connection of the laptop and external hard drive USB2.0 rather than 3.0, especially if current to run a web browser or other applications in resources at the same time.

  However, earlier versions of iTunes are not likely to be significantly different in their behavior or performance (and some, indeed, could be worse).  My main iTunes system is a desktop Dell of the same vintage (though with hard drives and power supply replaced in the past two years)-running Windows 10 Pro 32 - bit with 4 GB of memory (3.25 GB usable) and works fine with the latest version of iTunes.

  I would certainly recommend ensuring that your library is all about external drive (see time user turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information) and that you create and maintain an up-to-date backup of it (see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library).

• How to restore a back up on top of an external hard drive

  Hello.  I just got a new laptop from HP windows 8 and you want to restore a back up I took my old HP laptop on an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive, the ups return display in the file Explorer, but I can't find a way to restore the backup to the new laptop, the only option I can find is to know how to put in place to save on the hard drive and restore the files that I've just saved from the new laptop.  There is nothing really on the new computer laptop so it doesn't matter if I lose these (and they are now saved when even!), its mainly pictures and iTunes on the back up, a few old excel & word files I think.  When I click on Explorer the external hard drive in the file, there is a PC owner icon that shows a folder named Backup set & the date, he didn't save folders of files for various dates, in the most recent are the backup files 1 & backup files 2, from 2012.

  How can I get these on the new laptop?  I can't take another back up as the old laptop crashed and lost everything, where the need to get this back up to the new computer.

  Help, please!  Thank you

  Hello Jacq,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  As described in the question, I understand that you are unable to find a way to restore your backup of the old computer stored on an external drive on your new computer windows 8.

  In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7, Vista), you can use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a backup or image system repair disc. Windows 8 and 8.1 gives you choices on how you can recover your PC and backup your personal files.

  You can use the file history to back up the files on your PC in Documents folders, music, photos, videos and office and the OneDrive available offline on your PC. First of all, you need set up a historical file player and turn on the history of the files. For more information, see set up a drive to the history file. If your original files are lost, damaged or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more information, see to restore files or folders by using the history file.

  You can also view the Microsoft article below for more information about restoring your backup of the data on your new computer Windows 8.

• I use Lightroom with an external hard drive?

  I have my Lightroom Catalog and photos stored on an external hard drive. When I try to import photos from my camera card into the Lightroom Catalog I get this message "could not open the lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom." I have Lightroom 5.7.1 and uses a Macbook pro. Should I be storing my LR catalog on my laptop and not the external hard drive?

  Hi robinbeaton,

  Greetings!

  Should I be storing my LR catalog on my laptop and not the external hard drive?

  You can save the Lightroom catalog on your laptop and the external drive.

  But storing on the external drive is only useful if you access Lightroom with catalog even on other computers too.

  "Could not open the lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom.

  Do you have you installed or used Lightroom before 6/cc?

  This error appears when you try to open 6/cc Lightroom Catalog Lightroom 5.

  Kind regards

• Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

  Hello.

  So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

  

  All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

  When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

  It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

  See you soon,.
