Connecting the computer to the library on external drive

I just set up my new computer and down loaded Lightroom cc and plunged my external hard drive, thinking that everything would he NOT do I have to do to create a link to the library?

Your screen clip suggests that you watch a new empty catalog.

Do NOT re-importation of images in this empty catalog.

You must close Lightroom, plug in your external drive (a single! the 'master'), use Finder to locate your catalog of work on this drive (it will be named as xxxxx. LRCAT), then double click to OPEN this catalog file.

I hope it loads in Lightroom with all your images and visible work.

Remember that Lightroom is a database program! the database is called xxxx. LRCAT.  The database retains information about your images, but it shows that you have imported images!

* If your catalog is not on the external hard drive then you may have lost it in the "old" computer Do you have backups of the file catalog anywhere where you can copy? It is available in the computer 'old '.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • Problems loading old library on external drive to new iTunes

    Issue. Recently, I reformatted and updated my pc for Windows 10, and I used an older version of iTunes (don't know which one it was) in time compared to what is currently available. I used to keep all of my music stored (via iTunes) on another internal hard drive which still exists on my computer. Windows recognizes it, and iTunes managed folders.

    The problem is that I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and while he did load I had on iCloud, I feel I'm missing a few items that were in the library of hard drive. I tried to run iTunes now shift to select another library, but the iTunes folder managed had no info. The only things on the outside folder are:

    -Automatically add to iTunes

    -Books

    Games - iPod

    -Mobile Applications

    -Movies

    -Music

    -Voice recorder

    -.iTunes Preferences.plist

    I did my best to back up everything on my C: primary so I can have additional folders, however I do not know if this where is the actual library for the filling of the iTunes file, or if it is a new feature released in a newer version. I used to make everything perfectly until what I changed in my phone Samsung Galaxy S6 now broken (about a year) I'm give up and return to iPhones. My last being a 5s, my other being a 7 when he left for me.

    What is the easiest way I can make sure that the entire library is loaded in iTunes without causing cloud conflicts duplicates and/or a VERY long process of re - copy thousands of songs?

    Take a look at make a library of portable split. I hope you can find the iTunes folder which will have been in the C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes before you reformatted. If you shift-Start-iTunes and choose the inside .itl file and the drive letter for the press pack has not changed, then it should work correctly. If not, you might want to put all the components in the correct form on media drive and then fix broken with my tips links to Re: iTunes can't find music (suddenly).

  • I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

    I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

    I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

    I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

    I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

  • How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

    I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

    Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

    To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

    Hello

    Do you have any application installed on the computer security?

    Method 1:

    If you do, I suggest you to disable anti-virus and check if it solved the problem.

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If the step is not enough, then you can go to the method 2:

    Method 2:

    I suggest you go through the steps and check.

    a. closed Windows Media Player12.

    b. Access Services [table-> system and security-> administration-> Services tools]

    c. find the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"

    d. stop the Service manually.

    e. Locate the "UpnP device host"service. Stop the service and restart it.

    f. run "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" now.

    g. close windows all associated and the Panel. Open Windows Media Player, right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now.

    Hope this helps and keep us posted.

  • Migrating to a new computer - PSE library on external drive

    Hi all

    I just bought a new computer today and have already downloaded and installed PES 9. My library of items lives on an external drive connected by USB. I have not yet open PSE on the new machine, but I do not have the external drive now hanging on to her.

    What should I do to ensure that the PES 'find' my library? It will be obvious once I open the PES? I guess I have to point to the library somehow; can someone tell me which file we need?

    Thank you!

    Maybe this isn't a problem, as in the most recent versions of the EPS, the number of real player serianl is what the PSE uses and that has not changed.

    If it seemed to be a problem, change your drive letters so that the external drive on the new computer is F.

  • Installed the library at Ext Drive, iTunes wants to re-download all previous purchases

    I moved the library iTunes & iPhoto on an external drive, as described in the guide online from Apple. Everything seems to work properly. Then I upgraded my OS to El Capitan, and I try to sync our iPhones and iPad for the first time.

    In iTunes, is to show all our purchases, but all the playlists have disappeared. When I try to sync, it tells me I will be to delete everything on my iPhone, and it shows no content available with which it can synchronize (except the Apps). Available music, television, and music available to synchronize with the iPhone sucks. Each item purchased has now an emblem of download on it. I tried to launch a film I bought and downloaded months ago, he began to re - download.

    The iPhone I'm trying sync is a 6s a day and iTunes iOS & other applications are up to date. ITunes content is very visibly on the drive external hard, all the 220 + GB of it. It will take days to weeks to download all new and I don't want to eat another 200 + GB of HD space, then must manually remove hundreds of duplicates just to access the items, I know that I already have but iTunes does not recognize is already there.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to run iTunes by holding down the Option key? Select "choose library" then go to the external HD and the iTunes folder there. You should get the option to open it.

  • OKR: The restoration of EXTERNAL drive?

    I have beautifully OKR working for me. However, when I choose "System Recovery", it only show up with selecting in C: or D: (partitions on the drive HARD internal only). It won't let me choose backups that she herself created on my external USB HDD (f).

    How can I tell OKR to select a backup created on an external USB HDD?

    Found the solution!

    1. The first partition on the USB external drive must be an Active partition FAT32.
    2. The second partition on this external drive USB (the one that stores backups OKR) must be an NTFS partition.

    Once I did, OKR identified the two partitions with no problems (in the form of readers i and J :) and has been able to see these images of OKR backup and restore from them.)

  • connect the phone to external hard drive wireless

    I have a laptop with Vista and a pc with Windows 7.  We have an external hard drive connected to the pc.  I would like to move my music files from my laptop to the external hard drive and be able to communicate with them wireless.  What should I do to be able to do this? There is a wireless router in the House.

    Hello

    Wire or wireless does not matter for this purpose.

    The drive must be set as a shared device, and then the other computers that are on the same network (wire or wireless) can access.

    Here's how.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    -----------------------------

    Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

  • Connecting the AE CS6 external text document source text property

    Hello

    I would like to load text from an external .txt file in the Source text property. I've seen many ways to do it on the web, but it seems that it is changed in CS6. (All the examples I've found are for CS4 or CS5).

    I'm on a macbook pro. The (data.txt) .txt file is on the desktop.

    That's what I tried to associate with the Source text property:

    1)

    myPath = "/data.txt";

    try{

    $.evalFile (myPath);

    eval(thisComp.name);

    }catch (err){

    "not found"

    }

    Here, I get "not found".

    2)

    myPath = "/c/data.txt";

    $.evalFile(myPath)

    Here, I get the error: "file or folder does not exist.

    The name of my computer is 'sc100' and the text file says:

    sc100 = "My Text"; ; 

    Is there a good way to do this in CS6? Or I just hurt?

    -KolibriEirik

    If you are on a mac and the file is located on your desktop, the correct path would be:

    ~/Desktop/data.txt

    If you are unsure of a path, you can always use a test script like this to check:

    Var Dittos is File.openDialog ("select the file");.

    $.writeln (theFile.absoluteURI);

    I just tried to use $. evalFile() and it worked well for me.
