Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

  • Where can I download acrobat 8 pro for mac

    I can't find my cd and I have a new computer - where can I download acrobat 8 pro for mac.  I have the serial number.

    HI Cindy,.

    We're very sorry, but Adobe would not be able to provide you with Acrobat 8 pro for mac. The reason being, it's a very old version and Adobe unfortunately does not provide support for such an old version. You must contact the same resource where you bought the DVD. They might be useful for you.

    Or you can opt for our last DC of Acrobat. It is very different from that of the older Acrobat 8 and has a different and new USER interface as well as new features.

    Kind regards

  • files and folders: How can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive?

    Who can help, I just put a new account on my computer and deleted the old account. I backed up the old files on my external hard drive. I want to know is how can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive? I thank you for your time and knowledge have a very nice evening, Shawn

    Because it's a new account (even if with the same name), the restore procedure is unable to put files and folders in the same place, they came (because this place technically no longer - if yes, then the process is done and the transfer is complete). It can create a set of separate files (maybe even under a new user name, if it has been stored in this way).  If so, all you need to do is copy the data as you would copy any other files and folders (not the main files of the user profile themselves but the data in them) on the new files in your user account and who will take care of the transfer. Here is more information about the restore procedure which may help you in the process.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).

    I hope this helps.

  • Download iCloud photos to External Hard drive maxing out on my Mac hard drive

    My photo library was therefore mainly on iCloud due to its size, but I wanted have also stored it locally. So I bought a large external hard drive, plugged and copied my library of Photos of her. I made library of the external hard drive the library 'system' and click on ' download originals of this Mac. "

    My photo library increased from 5 GB to 127.5 GB local. Strangely, my iMac's hard drive began to be filled with hundreds of gigabytes of 'Other' files. Near 458 GB of "Other" files. I had to move even more files on the external drive just to make my iMac service as the new mysterious files are maxing out my hard drive.

    I'm sure that the download is at the origin of these mysterious "other" files. The download is almost complete. Is what I assume to be deleted by the Photos app temporary system files? I can't find the source of these files. My iMac utility disk tells me I have files over 121 million, while that the Finder tells me that I have only ~ 1 800 elements.

    Should I just make the trip to the Genius Bar, or this should be resolved once the download is complete? Late 2009 iMac, 500 GB; 1.3 photos.

    Thanks in advance.

    Let the full download and then check - it will probably be fine

  • can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

    I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

    MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

    extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

    1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

    2. Yes, it is.

Only got 1 external hard drive and 80% busy, I can't really destroy the entire disk to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I also fear that I manually back up aka. copy and paste all the files, things like iTunes or Photo Booth will not read data from the library when 'restored' aka. copy and paste again and so I have to start over. What should I do?

    Thank you very much for the help!

  • Mac > Windows 10 - moving pictures on disk external hard drive C: or?

    First time Windows user; not much experience with LR/PS/cc.

    Before selling my MacBook, I have all my files photo copied on an external drive. I just built a Windows PC and want to copy files from the external drive to the C: drive.

    In the file browser, I see the external drive, drive C:, and "This PC', a section called"Images ". In this framework are three files: Camera Roll, Lightroom, the recorded images. In "Lightroom" is: Lightroom Catalog Previews, catalogue Lightroom, Lightroom Catalog.Ircat.lock, Catalog.Ircat - Lightroom journal.

    Just downloaded PS and LR and the preceding must have been placed on my computer during the download.

    My question is where can I copy files to my external drive to? One of the above or on the C: drive?

    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    I would certainly put pictures on the external hard drive. There is virtually no advantage to place them on the C: drive, and they don't take up much space.

    The whole of the process of moving to another computer is described in detail here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

  • How can I get WMP to find all my songs that are stored on an external hard drive?

    I bought an external hard drive to store music for my product and WMP adds only about 30% of the songs to the Player library.  Some are wma and some are in mp3 format (added to the library and which must still be added).  I tried to uncheck Read-only after reading some responses online, but who did not stick and nothing changed.  How can I get WMP to find all my songs?

    I couldn't change them to read-only.  Fortunately after the computer restarts several times it work itself.

  • How to move photos to external hard drive with Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 - Mac user

    I managed to move a few pictures using the organizer of an external hard drive as a trial but has noticed that photos are all stored directly on the hard drive external and not kept in the subfolders they are on my hard drive. Is there a way to keep them in subfolders - which is in fact for most of the records showing the date they were taken.

    I also noticed that PES 9 organizing is very slow - I have a lot of pictures and a lot in the first - over 21000. Is it better to use them for LR catalog?

    Last question, everyone has experienced problems since the upgrade to the Mavericks when using PSE9? Is there a solution? I read that upgrade to Yosemite has improved the operation of PSE9, but after my previous experience with the upgrade to the Mavericks I'm not in a hurry to upgrade.

    Thank you

  • Move the files to an external hard drive - LR3.2, Mac Snow Leopard

    I apologize for this right now, but after reading other threads in this forum, buy a book, and I watch a video, I am more confused than ever! I want to spend 6 months of folders, subfolders, metadata, and keywords, off my portable hard drive to an external hard drive to free up room on my laptop (not). Then, I want to be able to access with the LR catalog on the external hard drive. The catalog that I use currently (showing all my photos 2010) also contains more recent files that I don't want to export because they are still topical. My studies, there are all kinds of suggestions on the creation of new files by drag-and - drop, using the sign, export catalogues etc, but nothing that tells me step by step how to achieve what I want to do! Pourrait - a nice person please guide me through this?

    Thnaks,

    Richard

    To make LR 'see' your external hard drive, you must make a top folder of in LR.

    In the library Module, click the icon "+" in the folders Panel, and then click "add a folder".

    Navigate to your external hard drive and create the folder, call it what you want it to be.

    Right-click on the new folder and click on "add a folder"; the player must then become visible.

    Then, just drag and drop your images into this folder.
