• Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

  Hello

  I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

  (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

  (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

  Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

  I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

  I went in lightroom and can't find my photos. I lost the link before and did the right click to find and they have been found, but it's different.

  I bought an external hard drive and copied some elements but did not cut their.  I did a back up on my external hard drive, but even once did not move them. I did the simple troubleshooting and it doesn't work.  I'm trying to find the original by right clicking the? on the folder LR and once I find the file it tells me that Lightroom has this file already in the catalog - and I want to merge. I tried one and it disappeared or moved. Help!

  Use the file Explorer to see if the images are still in their original location. I suspect that move instead of copy them. This can happen if you drag you the.

  I found that it is best to use either right click on a file or folder name and select copy then right click on the drive-destination folder and select Paste or use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste folder and files from one disk to another. The keyboard shortcuts are the CTRL + key C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste in the selected destination folder-drive.

• Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

  Hi all

  I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
  I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

  When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
  I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
  Is this true?

  Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  I have an old drive external HARD with images recorded on it and I use it for years with WXP, Vista, Win7 and now with Win8 too. There is no problem at all so I put t understand what could be wrong with your HARD drive.

• Satellite L300-110 USB external hard drive is no longer detected

  I used my external hard drive via a USB connection for a while normally, I wanted to remove most of his files and only keep my important files. After I restarted my laptop it now is no longer detected

  My external hard drive model is HTS54101 0G9SA00
  Connected via a storage drive HARD Portable USB 2.0 Phillips

  The USB ports are ok, I plugged a USB optical mouse through them and it works, and sometimes the LED on the Phillips turns red with still no detection of my laptop.

  Please advise, I lost my mobile hard disk of 100 gega?

  Sounds like the hard drive has failed.

  The only thing I can think that you can try is to update your Chipset drivers. I don't know if this will fix the problem even if, as you have pointed out that the machine can detect other USB devices already.

• Is it possible choose a removable drive (USB external HARD disk) for PSE 7 'at work '?

  Hello

  I want to know if it is possible to choose directories on an external hard drive (USB to PC connection) to store both photos and files "working documents" used by Photoshop Elements 7 (catalog + cache thumbnails and so on...).

  I said I want to install PES - 7 on the external hard drive, simply its document files.

  Many thanks for your reply.

  Pascal

  PS Sorry for my English very poor...

  If you ask to create a new catalog, use the Organizer catalog manager to specify a location for the catalog.  Which will store the catalog and the cache of thumbnails on your external drive.

  If you have your images stored on this external drive, import them in the catalog.

  AttilaO,

  Although Microsoft works closely with many OEMs and parts 3d and worked by ensuring compatibility with hundreds of devices and applications Microsoft does not guarantee the functionality of these devices or applications. It is the responsibility of the OEM / 3rd party to provide drivers or updates for their products in order to make them work under Windows.

  To refine the device that is causing the driver incompatibility, you will need to test your IEEE 1394 [firewire] device with another hard drive / material. Our recommendation is that you contact your manufacturer for assistance.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  For more details, please consult the Microsoft Knowledgebase document;

• Computer laptop (Vista) does not take account any new working USB external hard drive

  Hello, I'm under the latest version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a Dell XPS M1210 and spin in the problems with the connection of my second USB external hard drive. In other words, when I plug the drive (a Seagate expansion 1 TB), nothing happens. Literally nothing, no notification of installation of the driver, no sound is played stating that the system recognized the device, no new entry in post working or disk management. I connected this drive on another computer running Windows 7 and it worked without a problem, so I do not suspect the problem to lie in the hard drive, but with my computer. My other external hard drive USB, a Maxtor Basics Portable 250 GB, works perfectly, but there more than two years. I bought the 1 TB Seagate as a backup and an upgrade, but I plan to go back now that there is nothing more than a big black Clipboard with a green LED clear too much room. What can I do about it?

  Hello
   
  Most likely, there is not enough power for the USB port of your machine to the external device do recognize. As a test I would have you test the issue on another USB plug.
   
  I recommend you contact you either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or the manufacturer of the motherboard if it is a machine of casting House and get the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard.

• My WD external HARD disk usb device does not appear in the computer on XP and Win7, but appears in the system tray?

  How to work various PC and diferent OS?

  If you view the contents of the external drive, I think that the first folder contains a USB driver that you need to install to run properly, if you cannot view the contents of drive I'm sure you can download the driver for Western Digital. I think that the work of readers well on Windows 7 installs with 3 USB ports, but drivers are needed for USB 2.

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]
