• Photos library forgotten intermittently in iMovie

  Hey everybody!

  I'm helping a friend with his computer which is having a weird problem where iMovie forget intermittently the computer's default photo library.

  I searched the forums and feel a little Google-Fu to no results. Hoping that someone here has heard of him and can help.

  Hardware specifications:

  iMac 21.5 "(retina 4K, end of 2015)"

  3.3 Intel Core i7, 16GB, Iris Pro graphic 6200

  10.11.5 OSX

  Photos Version: 1.5 (370.42.0)

  Version of iMovie: 10.1.2

  Symptom of failure:

  When you open iMovie library of Photos may not appear in the sidebar called "libraries."

  Friend is then unable to take pictures from Photos to slide directly into the timeline without doing it manually by moving pictures on the desktop, then in iMovie.

  Temporary difficulties (though not ideal):

  Opening and closing iMovie has 50-75% likely to appear at the library.

  Notes:

  1. a friend has a large library of Photos (600 GB and more) of his travels and compiles pictures and videos to family and friends.

  2. due to the huge amount of space needed for ALL of its data/backups (not only the pictures), she was sold and configure a Lacie 5big network RAID (20 to total)

  3. the iMac internal 2 TB HDD software account and installed OSX. Its Home folder is located in the 5Big and OSX heading towards it.

  4. the question is extremely intermittent, opening and closing of the application while the photo library is present can remove next time, iMovie is open.

  Things I've tried:

  -Creation of a new library of Photos (empty) adding like 20 pictures and then defines it as the default library in preferences. (Question persists)

  -Updated all updates of software available.

  -Re-install OSX 10.11 and then upgrade to 10.11.5 again.

  -Checked to make sure that 5Big is not put the discs "to sleep" after a while, removing the connection to OSX. (It is not)

  -Check all the cables and connections to make sure that the drive is connected properly and safely.

  -Machine closed down, started 5Big first, he gave 10-15 seconds to establish and then lit iMac to see if OSX has had enough time to 'find' the iMovie library.

  -Make sure that the Photos (the application) is closed before opening iMovie, tried also with Photos open before you open iMovie. (Issue still present in both scenarios)

  I guess something is in conflict with OSX and RAID 5Big... but I have no idea where to start looking.

  Help, please! Please and thank you!

  Aaron.

  Aaron, your friend already tried to repair the photo library?   Repair is described on this help page: repair your library

  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

  The external drive file system is compatible with Photos for Mac?  If the format of the disc is not Mac OS extended (journaled) it won't work perfectly.

  And the complete folder on this drive?  How was the link created?  What is the home folder encrypted by safe?

• External hard drives

  Hello

  I have an iMac with 1 TB HDD &! Backup drive external CT that are now filled and slowing everything up!

  Today I get 2 x external hard drives again 5 TB and will be new to move all the files to the 2 x new disks but will need programs like lightroom to always find the files on the disks again. How can I do this? (I want both players to have the same data on them!)

  Once done,

  How to save files on the 2 x new drives at the same time? (Same data to both disks)

  Help, please

  Kind regards

  Ady

  1. When you have 2 new external drives: Format/Erase them with DiskUtility. Do not install any software that came with the drive, OSX does not need that at all.

  2. your photos are not inside Lightroom. In Lightroom are only previews. So, you can move all the images to an external and leave the library where it is now.

  There are several methods to point the library to the new location. I use 'find the missing images '. See the manuals.

  3. set your applications (TimeMachine, and/or Clone app) backup on the disks again.

• iMac SSD & HDD

  Hello

  I'm looking to install a SSD Samsung Eco 2 TB and a normal digital black among Westerners of 6 TB HDD, can I ask people their advice? I try to have ssd as my boot drive and the 6 TB for backup and the files.

  (a) problems with the selected material

  (b) it is useful, wise money for example I should save a little more and buy a new iMac

  (c) are there alternatives

  looking to make a TI takes forever to go start cold.

  I have a mid 2011 iMac i7 (12,2) with the last what OS X installed.

  Cheers in advance,

  RK based in the United Kingdom

  The major issue that you will have is that the 2011 iMac is not a disk controller capable of working with a 3 to or more large internal drive. Furthermore, what is the point of this large an SSD? If the Samsung Eco models are cheaper SSD, while they are cheaper because they are made with older chips may not correspond to current levels of performance. Do you really need a 2 TB SSD for a boot disk? A smaller and better quality SSD may be a better choice.

• How to sync iTunes with iTunes ext HDD iMac?

  Hello

  I can't afford to buy the 256 GB MacBook Air, then I'm the one with only 128 GB.

  When I launched my iTunes, I pressed down option and select the external HARD disk where I put all the songs.

  Songs in iTunes external HDD has been copied from my iTunes on my iMac.

  So, how can I synchronize my iTunes in my iMac with the iTunes on my external HARD drive?

  Thank you

  What do you mean "iTunes sync in my Mac?"  You say that you no longer use the library in your computer (iTunes' incidentally is the only application), what is there to sync (and once again 'sync' has a very specific meaning of transferring the elements to and from a mobile device)?

• How a recovery of space on a LaCie external drive for an iMac?  This 1 TB drive says now "integral" and I need to reclaim space without loss of data.

  I have an IMac 3 - year, which was saved with a 1 to LaCie external drive, using Intego Backup Assistant.  Obviously I'm not successfully back up because I wasn't expecting this drive must be complete.  That said, how to fix the problem. ? I need to see the data that is on the disk and to eliminate duplication of work, and then I'll need to reform the backup process so that I have not fill up the drive.  I am not particularly adept at information technology, so more detail that can be provided, the better it is!

  What a pity that you have not started using Apple built-in Time Machine from the beginning. It deletes older backups as needed.

  That being said, the only way is to do it again. I'd get a new drive and copy what you absolutely need and wipe.

• Best SSD & HDD configuration environment iMac 2010

  I put my 2010 middle level 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'll use the OWC data backup kit to replace the optical drive in the iMac with the SSD. To feel pretty comfortable with the facility itself after having looked through the iFixit guide and various You Tube videos. My issue is with how best to configure the installed SSD.

  I use mostly the iMac for Lightroom CC and I'm under El Capitan.

  My 1 TB HARD drive and is full of about 80%. I want to use the SSD as boot obviously drive and also use it for all my applications. I just want all my old music files and RAW files on the HARD drive that I don't need to access often. There are about 300 MB of old RAW files, I can move on the HARD drive, then once as it is setup, I hope that I'll have to say 500 MB on the SSD and 300 MB on the HARD disk. As my RAW files grow I still move the old files on the HARD drive to keep the SSD to become too full.

  I had planned to restore all my files for the SSD from a Time Machine backup and then format the HARD drive before joining former RAW HARD drive files. But:

  -which is the best way?

  There's an easy way to achieve the same goal without keeping all my cruft?

  -going to have my HARD drive plugged complicated issues when restoring to the SSD?

  -should I use carbon copy cone instead?

  Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  Note that if you open the computer Apple won't provide any additional support if you need it. Make sure that you don't damage anything. Learn how to do what you plan to do before you start. It's a bad idea to try to learn along the way. There are small tablecloths at the back of the monitor that must be removed in order to access the disk space. There is also a special thermal cable required. I suggest you visit OWC where provide it a kit to add another disk to an iMac.

  You cannot copy OS X of your HDD to the SSD while leaving everything else behind. After installing the SSD you partition delete it, then install Snow Leopard top of your OS X disk installer supplied with the computer. After that, you can go to El Capitan if you wish.

  Clean Install of Snow Leopard

  1. start the computer using the Snow Leopard installation disc or disc 1 that came

  with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

  After the ring, press and hold the "C" key.  Release the button when you see

  a small gear appear under the dark gray Apple logo.

  2. once the load setup program select your language and click continue

  button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.

  After loading disk utility, select entry Out-dented the SSD in the list on the left.

  Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.  Set the number of

  partitions to one (1) from the Partitions of the dropdown menu, click on the Options button

  GUID, click OK, and then select define the Mac OS Extended format type

  (Journaled), then click on the apply button.

  3. once formatting is complete utility of disk and return to the installer.

  Proceed with the installation of OS X and follow the instructions included with the installation program.

  4. Once installation is complete your computer will restart in the Setup

  Assistant. After finishing Setup Wizard will complete the installation, after which

  you will use a new installation of Mac OS X.  You can now begin the process of updating

  at the opening of updated software and installing all recommend updates to bring your

  current installation.

  Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo.

• iMac 14.2 HDD upgrade SSD external / internal

  I have an iMac of end of 2013 with a 1 TB HARD drive. I'm looking to upgrade to a Samsung SSD, because I believe that the HARD drive is really slow. I have searched online for the best solution for this.

  Does anyone have the answers to the following questions:

  How it would effect the speeds, if my boot drive has been installed on an external SSD and internal HDD is used to store files?

  An external SSD Thunderbolt would be faster than USB 3.0? Where's the best price to buy these items?

  How Apple charge for this upgrade? What's hard to do it yourself with the right kit from OWC, bearing in mind I have some experience by removing the PC? http://www.megamac.com/Collections/Components/Products/OWC-Digital-Thermal-Senso r-with-installation-tools-for-imac-27-20...

  I really feel the drive HARD don't disappoint the computer and with the benefit of hindsight, I would have been for a different option.

  Any ideas would be very appreciated.

  I use an external Thunderbolt sled made by Seagate for a single SSD. Around $140, I think. Search on Amazon. I/O speeds are almost that of a flash drive SSD internal.

• Upgrade to 3TO HDD on mid-2010 iMac 27 "

  2 TB Hitachi HDD in mid-2010 iMac 27 "quad-core i7 2.93 Ghz. considering short of spare space internally to 3 (or 4).

  Course 3 TB hard drives are compatible with this system? Problems with the temperature sensor? Recommendations for the replacement of brand/model?

  N ° 2 TB is, according to me, the bigger you can install. Data transfer you only use on an external drive and delete from in-house to create more usable space.

  Free space on hard drive

  1. see Lion-Lion/mountain/storage of the Mavericks display.

  2. you can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.

  3. visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.

  4. also see release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

  5 see where my disk space gone?.

  6 see the storage view.

  You must empty the trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.

  You should consider to replace the drive with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.

  Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

• had to install a new HDD in my imac. How do I set up

  Bought an iMac i5 opportunity. The hard drive has failed and had to be replaced. How I've implemented now, put El Capitan, etc. on it? When I got it I migrated all of my old iMac to him and the old iMac has everything on it, as a backup. Can I use Migration Wizard, or are there other steps I have to take first?  Never did anything like this before. Any help out there?

  What version of the OS was initially on the Mac and is on it now? The seller should have wiped the hard drive, if they have downloaded any version of the OS from the app store because the license for those associated with the Apple ID used to purchase and is not transferable.

• 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. Is this easier to do than to to replace a HDD with a SSD? I hope I can do it myself.

  My 27 "mid 2011 iMac drive solid state drive is dead and must be replaced. The SSD originally came with the computer and not a subsequent update. I understand that a SSD replacing a HARD drive is quite complex, but would be more simple replacement of a dead with a new SSD SSD? I hope I could make myself.

  Even as the replacement of a HARD drive. However, go to OWC buy the connector of the special drive that has the necessary temperature control that is not part of the SSD, because it is for the stock of HARD drive.

• HDD iMAC - made NAS El Capitan trace bad sectors after the report of an error?

  I replaced the HARD drive failing in my iMac 2009 end with a 4 to Seagate NAS drive, thinking it would be a better more sustainable choice, ignoring other differences of a NAS disk.  The computer runs very cool indeed.  However,.

  Apparently the resumption on error and the mapping of the sector is different on a NAS drive.  Seagate advertisement indicates that during a difficult to read, the Seagate NASware reports the error to the operating system within a maximum of 7 seconds instead of spending up to 20 seconds to try to read (and remap?) the bad data so that the NAS operating system has a chance to recover data from RAID system and write a new correct sector and thus correct the file without error and little time.

  Modern readers but defective sectors realloueront told me that the NAS drives will not (could not check this based on data I found on the web site of Seagate).

  Three questions

  1: the OS has the ability to work with bad sectors and map just like the old OSs?

  2: El Capitan reports the error to the user, or turn the ball.  I never saw the report of the OS that the data file cannot be read properly, as windows used to in my old bad days before moving to Apple.

  3: this rumor NAS disk does not remap is correct?  I think it makes more sense to report the erorr to the operating system, and then remap the sector on a writing data (as the NAS operating system should do once he finds the correct data).

  I would not lose time popular with these basic question, but I could not find the relevant info.

  I don't want to swap the drive that replacing a drive in a 27 "iMAC is not easy and will not be repeated until the disc breaks down.

  A NAS is just a file server. He is responsible for the management of storage of data including the maintenance of readers. The operating system access is just request the data of and presenting data on the NAS. The inner workings of the actual storage is the responsibility of the NAS.

• My iMac continues to plant

  History:

  1. My iMac 27' was overwhelming at all times. Do not reboot, I have to unplug the computer 15 sec to turn it back on. Started about three months ago.
  2. Called the Apple service, re-installed El Capitan. Re-installed my apps: notability, Google Reader, the drop-down list.
  3. My computer crashed again.
  4. I took it to an Apple store, they checked the material: no damage. They have reinstalled Sierra. Worked fine in the store.
  5. I reinstalled my applications at home, office, notability, Dropbox, Google Drive.
  6. Crushed again.
  7. I've searched this forum. I was asked to perform "EtreCheck", I enclose you a new report here. I've been told clear Dropbox, Google drive and notability. Yes, I did.
  8. Today, I opened 'Photos' and my computer crashed again. I have more 15 000 photos in the cloud.

  I came to believe that there is a problem with any application connected to iCloud.

  I am a heavy user of "notoriety". (for the school). I can use very well in my iPad, but it would be nice if I could use it in my computer too.

  Not sure this is the problem, but it:

  indicates that the Sierra is trying to optimize your photo library and may be busy for awhile. It was reported in the other Mac after update for Sierra. I would give it a bit more time if you have several GB of images.

  Hi there champrider,

  It sounds like your computer guard stop on its own, and the only way you can get it to come is to unplug for a while. If you get some sort of error when the computer restarts, take a look at this article:

  OS X El Capitan: If your Mac restarts and a message

  If this isn't the case, then I suggest starting in safe mode to delete a few caches as well as system-level to check and fix if necessary startup disk.

  OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

  If the problem persists then I would then reset the SMC on your computer:

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• iMac 2012 - sierra installation failed, caught in the loop, please help

  Hey everybody.

  That's what I have:

  iMac 27 "mid-2011. He had on El Capitan.

  This iMac contains two hard drives and drive superdrive.

  A disc is 256 GB SSD and the other a regular 2 TB internal HARD drive.

  As SSD is faster that I keep my OS X and programs on this SSD drive, all the other stuff like photos, music, documents, are put on the classic 2 TB HDD.

  This is what happened:

  Attempt of I:

  Everything was going well until the installer has discovered that the SSD did not have a sufficient space to install. I quit the installer, the option pop up, I called "Startup Volume" has chosen my SSD and restarted it. Has been 2 attempts, if I'm not wrong, but worked. I killed and moved the files, I think now would be enough disk space on my SSD tried the Sierra ad install again.

  --> Attempt II:

  This time Sierra Installer arrived at the stage language choose where he welcomed and asked to choose the language. The next screen it tells me once again: not enough space, the bigger internal drive offers enough, but I don't want that. So, I tried the same exit to leave the program and launch then boot Volume installation...

  ... that in trouble:

  My SSD drive now no longer appears in this window of the boot Volume.

  When you try to access the boot Volume it will skip in the app language choose, sometimes shows this window choice animation multilingual, sometimes simply stays gray but will show when moving the mouse upwards arrow to the top of the screen, choose language drops in when I try to open the boot Volume after leaving the installation program. In addition, the language choice (can not be exited by cmd Q is said by the way) seems to open before the boot app Volume and the boot volume app does not appear my drive more-> Catastropheeeeee!

  Also option to restart regular off the menu above will not help. After about half to the top of the boot of the SIERRA Installer keeps new hindsight. No chance to reboot to my previous El Capitan based OSX. I am bound to this loop.

  Is turned off, wait and switch back to does not help, even in a loop.

  Then I tried also open disk utility, I also have an external time machine backup drive connected. Tried this way to restore my SSD of time machine, which fails on every attempt.

  I'm totally caught up.

  Help, please!

  just in case.

  I did the job.

  Launched my iMac in disc mode on my mac pro book. A few items to the disc hard iMac deleted, then restarted, macos sierra resumed and concluded correctly, in other words: all and working again!

  Even a message to Apple to look bad when insufficient disk space is detected, see my first post, thanks.

  Best regards

  Max
