• Change of external drives for the LR catalog

  I keep my lightroom catalog file on my computer, but I store my images on an external drive.

  I recently bought a new external NAS RAID 1 drive to replace my NAS RAID 1 older, smaller drive and all my images are passed to this new disc.

  
  I've been looking through the forums and googling and just groping in LR, but can't figure out how to make my catalog aware of the fact that the images are on the new drive.

  Two things: I'm on a Mac and my external drives are drives NAS (there is no involved and unmapped Windows drive letter).

  The structure is the same thing, I just need to educate the new disc instead of the old disk catalog.

  My Setup was

  /Volumes/old -player/photos /.

  2003 /.

  2004.

  2005 /.

  ... etc...

  My new Setup is

  /Volumes/-newdisc/photos /.

  2003 /.

  2004.

  2005 /.

  ... etc...

  My catalog is in

  /Users/ < I >/pictures/Lightroom catalogs/Network Storage.lrcat

  Is there a way to change the Storact.lrcat network so that it looks for images on 'new disc' instead of 'old-player "?

  The function you are looking for is right-click (cmd-click? don't know) on the high-level folder in LR and reconnect it to the new location of the disk.  It will allow you to navigate to the new folder location.

  If you make the top, it will reconnect them just below the...

• + Configuration LR to work out of the Photo files on external drive from the beginning very +.

  Hello!

  I have LR is trying to see how the workflow.

  I'm working on a project, I need to select the final images to use in the project of as a value of a year of photos.

  My main interest is using LR at the moment.

  I have all my files on an external drive.

  + First step is to import and then adding them to a catalog on my internal drive.

  + I select 'building intelligent insights' so I can work in offline mode

  Then from there, the process of selection and Keywords, etc..

  Does this sound right?

  ~ If I have other projects, I would create a separate in my computer for each project catalog?

  ~ would be metadata that I added in LR only incorporated on the files I use LR?

  I want to say is,

  If I was to go in my external drive from the desktop and place an image,

  What is metadata?

  Thank you!

  Sounds good.

  I suggest working with a single catalog only.

  LR does not change the imported originals - non-destructive workflow.

• Cannot read iphoto library stored in an external drive, after the installation of el capitan and photos

  What size is the drive? How are you connected to it?

• Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

  Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

  I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

  Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

  "Best practices for EFS file system.

• Cannot access an external drive on the network

  I have a network problem. I have a Dell 640 m laptop, Vista Ultimate SP2 32 bit, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Vista Firewall, Kaspersky AV 2009.

  I have my laptop and my office in the same working group. I can not access my 200G Iomega external for my laptop. It is connected to my desktop dell running XP SP3, Avast Pro, Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. I have two internal drives on my desktop mapped and accessible from my laptop. I also have the printer connected to the netwoked desktop from my laptop and it works fine. I have sharing enabled for the external drive.

  When I click on the external drive in the folder 'Network' of my laptop or when I try to map it I get the following message

  \\DELL-DESKTOP\Iomega on Dell desktop computer is not accessible. You could

  It sounds like a setting on the XP machine for "simple file sharing". I think that you have to turn this configuration / OFF explicit sharing on each item you want shared. On a Pro machine, it's an easy setting

• New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

  I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

  You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

• External drive and the database is unable to re-connect after player swaps (?)

  • I have a problem for my existing database reconnected after adding a large SSD and replace a different hard drive in another Bay. Details below.
  • I run LRCC on a desktop machine Win7 64 bit with a lot of RAM.
  • My catalog is on record in the area and is the right size (2.93Gig for 120 000 images)
  • The catalog and previews are on an SSD - not with images
  • My picture files are on an external RAID USB3 battery; I have everything in a folder called "Lightroom".
  • This external hard drive is reported as 'online' in the folders pane
  • My picture files can be seen under the name of the external drive (RAID) on which the images are stored.
  • for example, no folder with question marks
  • The correct image files do not appear elsewhere in the LR Folders pane.
  • I had to rename and rebuild the drive letter for the external drive. I don't think it would be a problem. He had been driving \K: front and eventually re-assigned a different letter. When I looked at the share path, he was wrong, as he used the name of another drive (internal). That's when I forced reassignment to the letter assignment and the previous path that had worked all along.
  • I started to go back to older catalogues, and they do not open Lightroom with the data pane and folder showing the images where they are stored in fact.
  • These older catalogs don't present me with 'Found Photos' question marks, or the other. I went back a month. No luck.
  • If I pass the folders pane and try to 'Add' a folder root Lightroom on the external drive (the correct House of images), it becomes an IMPORT, and I find a lot of images that are not understood by LR in the database. They should ALL be already there.
  • Most of these images - that need to be imported - verified are JPG files versions for which the. CR2 is considered to be the database. I can't find key words assigned to the images we think by LR for being in the database, although I don't know if keywords for images already databased are normally at this stage.
  • Yes, I restarted a bunch of time in the hope of a miracle! Any ideas on that?
  • Thanks in advance for any help.
    

  I think I'd be tempted to go to a previous backup for example before you removed something. Double-click the .lrcat file to start or start a catalog file vacuum > new Catlaog and open the backup into that.

  Then it should be possible to remap the drive letters or update folder locations to match with the raid.  You might even consider static drive letters such as X, Y, Z.

• How to save raw files on an external drive but the hard work during the development?

  I want to save my raw external hard disk files, but when I work on copy them some files on the hard disk of the computer is faster and when I finished to remove hard drive but continues work to develop, so next time I'll get the file from the external drive it will show develop it I created. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

  In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

  So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

• Time Machine deleted messages on an external drive to the trash can on iMac are taking place on the hard drive?

  I am struggling with a computer, try to empty the trash with 1million 300,000 Time machine backup files. It runs for two days now and won't install. At this rate, I'll need a week before my computer becomes viable. I don't feel able to go to the Terminal to do the trick. Also at this point, I'm afraid to stop the process again... Backups on an external drive of pigs 400 GB on my drive hard imac... I have so little room to work right now. I deleted some 200,000 files already yet the storage on my imac HD has not moved. The files in the Recycle Bin of the external drive really live on my hd now until they will be deleted if all goes well before Christmas?

  I have a new computer to come next week so I'm wondering if I'll just reformat my entire hd in my imac to solve this problem... Any ideas?

  You do all this in the Finder?

  Time Machine has to delete the files from the user interface, normally "browsing Time Machine backup", navigate to the desired folder, and select the option "delete all backups of...» ». This is the approved way that should work.

  If you are manually dragging the items in the trash of in a Time Machine backup, it can choke. Time Machine stores data with many levels of access control permissions & Finder seems to have difficulties to remove to empty the trash. In fact, I think that the TM drive has limits to prevent normal users to change data on this disk.

  Personally, I think your safest option is to abandon the process, restart, erase and reformat the Time Machine drive. Who will lose all history backups but again in a clean condition seems to be better than trying to manually prune the Time Machine data. Time Machine removes old backups when it is full - so you shouldn't really need to intervene like this anyway.

  Wait and see if anyone has a better idea.

  P.S., each disk has its own "basket", so doing drag items should not fill your Mac startup disk. Maybe the operating system is out of memory, try to process all the files, exit other applications & see if that changes anything, you may have to wait just if you want to avoid to abandon the process.

• I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

  Hello! I have a big problem!

  I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

  Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

  When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

  Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

  Thank you in advance for the answer...

  What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

  Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

• Should I unplug external drives during the upgrade?

  Contemplating upgrading to El Capitan.  I have an iMac end of 2014, so I know that it is correct.  My question is - should I disconnect all external drives and devices before you run the upgrade, or it doesn't matter?

  
  

  I remember too, when I updated before, the new operating system does recognize the Time Machine backups.  Should I do to be able to access the TM of the previous operating system?

  Thank you

  Barbara
  

  It can't hurt to unplug external drives.

  Time Machine should recognize the previous backups. Which means, you should be able to go back to the backups made since previous versions of OS X. I know when I upgraded from 10.10.5 to 10.11.3, I could see/restore back ups in 10.10.5.

  Another thing to consider is once the Installer OS X El Capitan.app file is downloaded and before you click continue to install, copy this file from / applications to another folder (for example, downloads) so that you have it if you need it in the future. Download time records.

• 2.72 TB external drive via the USB port

  I realize, this is an old post, but I really need help.  I formatted a 3 TB on Windows 7 64 bit external drive connected via USB. I must have formatted MBR but player showed still 2.72 TB of space - great! I copied the backup data on this disc, leaving 129 GB of space.  The problem seems is occurred when I actually copied data that was full of 2 TB.

  After that everything was copied, I went to remove disc and it says that it is in use. I waited for an hour, the same thing, so I restarted the computer. NOW, this drive will rise not on any computer, almost as if he needs formatting / initialized as a raw player! Please help as I have more data anywhere, but on this disc... certainly there must be a way to read data from this drive?  Is there a system I can try to retrieve data?

  I'm on Dell T5500, BIOS = A09.  Most recent update of the BIOS and update Intel RST?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Go back to your original information you posted, the hard disk had be GPT formatted and not MBR otherwise the hard drive wouldn't format on 2.72 TB.  How can he be a former post office at your first post about it is dated today?

  Removing a hard drive which is currently in use is never a good idea that he could make the hard drive completely unusable depending on what operation is made at the point where the hard drive is removed.

• How to copy photos from the external drive to the photo library

  My photos are stored on an external drive.  I want to copy them to a library of Photos.  How can I do this?

  The photos on it files external disk in files and folders image or are they in a library of photos - iPhoto library or an Aperture library?

  If the photos are images in files and folders, use the "Import files" command in Photos and select the folder containing the pictures on the external hard drive in the file selector Panel.

  In the import Panel "Review for import" select the items that you want to import.
