Bridge (CS4) refuses to 'see' one of my external hard drives

I have three external hard drives. All are recognized by the bridge. To deal with my large collection of images, I installed a fourth - a Tb Fujitsu Storagebird 1.   This is recognized by Photoshop CS4 (all updates applied) (but not if I try to browse in Bridge), mail users, DxO Pro, even by of IrfanView.   But fast and loose parts bridge.  I have, on occasion, managed so that it can recognize the drive, but usually I have to fight, restart the Fujitsu, refresh view in Bridge.  Today, however, it is completely refusing to recognize the drive.

Any ideas?

Looks like it's time to purge the cache.

In Bridge Edit > preferences > Cache > purge Cache

Also allocate more space to the Size of the Cache.

Do you have a central cache or local caches?

  • Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

    Hello

    I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
    "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
    I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
    To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
    2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
    4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
      You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

      All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

      Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

    5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.
    I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.

  • Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive not recognized by Windows 7 64 bit

    It does not appear in Device Manager, and disk management.

    I tried all 8 USB ports on my computer.

    I have it plugged into different outlets (light still on) and tested it on other computers running Vista 32 bit and XP.

    The drive works fine on other computers, but not my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.   Microsoft Compatibility Checker stated that this player should work with Windows 7 64 bit.

    I'd like to get this to work by car.  Any ideas?

  • Why I am no longer able to connect to one of my external hard drives.

    I have two drives, one is Maxtor & the other is Hitachi, nor now communicates with the PC, please advise.

    Fortunately, I discovered the solution to the problem now, apparently the USB cable I was using had somehow developed a fault and then was replaced and the problem is no longer.  This observation may help other users.

  • If Adobe has disabled the ability to use Lightroom 5.7 to see the images in the external hard drive, how one judge the images in the file on the external hard drive without bringing back them to the Lightroom library?

    JPEG images being dragged over to Photoshop are veiwable as thumbnails on the external hard drive.  However back to the DNG RAW images are not visible.  Anyway is to visualize images of type external hard disk?  It would be nice to get a glimpse of what you make in Lightroom simply looking on the external hard drive you can with JPEG files.

    The library, just click on the import button and navigate to your folder on the EHD. Choose the folder and click Add at the top of the dialog box. You should see thumbnail previews in the import dialog box where you can select what to import.

  • Windows 7 can not "see" the files on my external hard drive all of a sudden after I used ICACLS to give me full control.

    I used ICACLS in a command prompt high to give me all permissions for all on the external hard drive. I do not share the disk or remove permissions from any other 'user' but all of a sudden the guest not to see the files on the disc and I don't know what to do about it. But when I open a window and go outside, the files are there, I can access it, use them in all cases, I would normally.

    Anyone has an idea why an elevated command prompt would not be able to see the files that are clearly on the external hard drive? There is just something not right on command prompt, you see only not the files that are there.

    Thanks in advance

    Update: it turns out that there seems to be some kind of conflict between the UAC and the Administrators group. Don't know how I was touched, but I finally finished refusing authorization in writing system on my external hard drive. Suddenly Builtin Administrator, users of Builtin and NT Authority stood, one of them, or another group, resumed training, locked read-only access to all files, and then he took it a little further and removed my ability to write attributes or read them. I was forced to use a back up 'Admin I have on standby with a third I reapplied my main administrator permissions, but still denied access. After doing things with ICACLS, I was able to get a partial control, but I still couldn't save.

    At the end of the road, it turns out that an external hard drive formatted in NTFS is recognized by the computer as a disk fixed, as if it were part of the computer, and there it was treated as such, given my file system files by locking the.

    Even with the hidden Builtin Administrator I activated, I couldn't access the files. I finally had to move all the girls to the drive c:\ and format the external drive with exFat so that the system do not think that he was part of the computer. Unfortunately, I can never depend on having a System Image backup because exFat cannot have a writing for her.

    I have full access, as well as anyone and everyone, there is no permissions on exFat, so it's a compromise, better than the system for the control of my own computer ruined combat...

    1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

    2 check the photos and click OK.
    NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

    3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

    4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

    This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

    Hello

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble seeing external drives. Found one potential than me and other solution is to download and install the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, download it here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

    Once installed, go to the readers in question and one both select and select Properties. It is her, no formatting or partitioning required. Just select the drive is often enough to get Windows 7 to recognize.

    Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

  • Lightroom do not see photos on external hard drive

    If my portable hard drive is full.  I bought a drive external western digital passport.  I created a folder on it and moved some pictures from the hard drive of the laptop on the external hard drive.  I did all this from Lightroom.

    But now Lightroom does not have the external hard drive folder in the library.

    If I try to add the folder using the + sign it will open the folder in the import window, but all is greyed out and say 'it's a duplicate of one already in the catalog

    Looks like the pictures are here, but it can't connect to them somehow.

    I also tried to take a new picture and won't see import in the folder.  It will then load this file in the library, but with only this new photo and any of those who are on the record.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.  I'm new to Lightroom def so there is a chance that it's user error what am I missing?

    Hi foodphotographer,

    You need to move the Images in the Lightroom Catalog, before the images has been saved on the internal drive now they are all on the external hard drive. for this purpose, you must update the location of the image in the Lightroom folder as well.

    See link: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Locate missing photos

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Why can't I do a search in my external hard drive using Adobe Bridge CS6?

    When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try doing a search within my external hard drive, it will give my internal hardisk results only? This is the 1st time that I encounterd this strange issue. For this reason, I do my research with windows and then browse each result with bridge! which is really annoying.

    I solved the problem go on the search field and clicking the search icon where he will give a drop-down list of the 3 options, and then selecting bridge search: current folder and that solved my problem. Thanks for all help

    You can search for an external drive if the operating system permissions are OK.  Bridge, however, will not look on different drives.

  • How to find an external hard drive using bridge

    I use CS4 in a Mac. Due to lack of space, I transferred all folders of photos to an external hard drive Lacie. Now, I can find the Lacie with Bridge and find and open all folders of photos. But when I try to search by keyword, they are not found. How do I do that?

    You will need to reindex all files before that search works.

    I purge the existing cache and then perform a search in the top folder.  Select "Include Non-Indexed files" at the bottom of the search window.

    All files will be indexed, but it will take a while.  It start when you leave work on computer for awhile.

    Hope this fixes the problem.

  • Backup to one external hard drive to another

    Hoping someone can explain to me how to copy a backup of one hard external to another.  I managed to make a complete backup of the old iMac, my sister just before he died.  The backup is located on a WD My Passport for Mac and I would like to copy the backup to another external hard drive, maintaining the original on My Passport for Mac, just to keep safe in the event of failure of one of the external drives.  This backup contains the only copy of hundreds of pictures.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    If it's a Time Machine backup, click here for more information.

    If there is a bootable clone, rerun the utility of cloning, but with the new source and destination drives.

    The drive does not appear in the Finder?  Do you get an icon for it on your desktop?

    You say that it recognizes the drive, how exactly, what is the point?

    What happens when you try to use it?

    How the drive is formatted?  Is it encrypted?
