Cannot transfer iPhoto on external hard drive

Everybody, I'm moving my iPhoto and iTunes library to an external GDrive of TB G-Tech 1 DHM using Firewire 800.  I transferred my long ago iTunes library and it did not help my iMac all go faster.  I am wanting to transfer my iPhoto library to free more space and then reset my iMac.

I read most of the posts on how it is easy to do and how to do it, but ran a common problem.  All positions say close iPhoto and access the viewfinder screen and locate the pictures folder, and then in the iPhoto in the pictures folder library.  IT IS THE PROBLEM.  The only thing that appears in the favorite folders are: all my files, iCloud Drive, desktop, Applications and Documents and then in the peripheral topic is my DHM.  There is nothing else appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All positions say close iPhoto and access the viewfinder screen and locate the pictures folder, and then in the iPhoto in the pictures folder library

OK, but this isn't what you are doing...

The only thing that appears in the favorite folders are

There is no mention of the Favorites in the first quote.

This is a very basic navigation of your computer. Fastest way:

In the Finder, click on the menu go to and when he drops down, select go to folder

In the window that appears copy and paste this:

~/Pictures

and click the button to go to

That will take you to your pictures folder.

  • Transfer iTunes to external hard drive

    I transferred my iTunes library on an external hard drive (Seagate).  I would like to transfer CDs to laptop so that I can do it again on one of my iPod tunes.  There is no option for ' send to ' iTunes from the external hard drive.  I tried several times and failed.  I can listen to the music stored on the external hard drive but playing something other than iTunes.  I installed Win 10 (big mistake, but too late now) so I guess it's to play through their music app.  I also tried to send to the device Bluetooth drive external hard, but that no longer works.

    I plan to replace my Samsung laptop with a Macbook Pro I hope in the not-too-distant future, but for now, I'd like to tell me if it is possible to transfer iTunes from external hard drive to my laptop existing back.  He drives me crazy not less because you have probably guessed I am somewhat of a technophobe.

    Thanks in advance.

    An iTunes library is an index of media stored on your computer that has been added to the library. iTunes has to know where the files are located in order to transfer them to your device. If the albums in question do not appear in your library and then use the menu file > add folder to library to add them, and then either make them slide to the device if handled manually on the base, or adjust the synchronization settings as required, and synchronize.

    See make a library of portable split to some general information about the layout of iTunes library. According to what you have copied where in the place where exactly, and what you see currently listed, you may want to shift-Start-iTunes and open the database stored on the external hard drive or maybe copy the whole folder iTunes from the outside to the inside, or you can create a library laptop from scratch on the outside, if there only your media.

  • Why don't my raw in iphoto files transfer on an external hard drive in the form of successfully raw files?

    Hello

    I use a mac in mid-2007, 10.7.5 mini system. I use iPhoto for my photo files only. I recently shot a family, the RAW files. When you try to transfer these RAW files and keep them in the form of RAW files on an external hard drive, the files themselves simply to the jpg. did someone knows how I can get these RAW files off my hard drive to an external hard drive, but keep them RAW and their original size? Thanks much for any guidance you may have. -bethsongs

    TO export RAW files you select them in iPhoto and export (menu, file == > export) using the type is an original option - see export from iPhoto for more details on the options

    as to get them off you primary drive - you can't, unless you remove them form iPhoto and empty iPhoto trash and trash system - iPHoto must always have access to the original to work

  • Unable to transfer data to external hard drive from El Capital upgrade

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue as me or can help.  I have an external drive (Seagate 1 TB) that I use to transfer files to and from my Mac Air (2012 i5 4 GB).  Since the recent upgrade to El Capitan, I was able to see and access the files on the external hard drive, but not be able to transfer files from my Mac to the external drive.  I couldn't find any info on this so I was wondering if anyone can help.  Thank you!

    As a guess your Seagate is formatted in NTFS. You need to check the site of Seagate to a NTFS driver compatible to El Capitan.

  • Select transfer photos on external hard drive

    I want to only transfer SOME of my photos in my photo library on an external hard drive to free up some memory on my computer.

    I started to do drag and drop single photos in a folder on my hard drive (Seagate Back Up more). Although it seems to work, I noticed that each photo that I transfer the file size seems to decrease as I transfer. I want to assure you that I won't lose resolution or quality in my pictures that I transfer, but what gives? Not sure if there's a more efficient or better way to go about doing what I do. I tried searching online and everything tells me how to transfer entire library and I really don't want to do that.

    Any suggestions? I'm nervous to start transfer photos if my picture quality is potentially declining.

    You select the photos you want to move to SMT and use the file export ➙ ➙ export original unmodified photo XXXX menu option.  This will give you full original sizes.

  • Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

    How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

    original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

    There are several options:

    External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

    If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

    Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

    If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

    In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

    On the Security tab, click Advanced
    On the owner tab
    Select you realize if it isn't already and
    Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
    Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

    Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

    In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

    On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
    Click on apply
    Click on advanced
    Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
    Click on apply

    If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

    If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

    ==================================================================================================================

    I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

    If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

    Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

    I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  • Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

    Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

    I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

    Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

    Method 2:

     

    Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

    b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

    c. check if the hard drive is present here.

    Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

    b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

    Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop
