connection to the original files

I moved my original files on an external hard drive. now I can't export files in the catalog. How can I connect the catalog with the original files again?

If you see a typical mark (!) in the upper right corner og your image in the library panel, click on it and put the new path of the image search it on your computer. Lightroom will modernize its position information in the file in seconds and you can export your photos again.

  • Is it possible to synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Hello

    I copied a file from the shared network folder and it is really important document, so I need to use this file as a file off the local drive connection and backup as well just in case where the cause accidental, but I don't want to save it each time and don't want to use the original file in the network.

    Is it possible to automatically synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Thank you

    Absolutely without interruption would require a program to write that monitors files on the file locks and triggers a sync as soon as he sees a change.  So, since we cannot just write a program, the best thing is either:

    (1) an icon on your desktop that you can click each time you want to synchronize "synchronize my files now.

    or

    (2) plan the "my sync files' to run automatically every x minutes.  It could be a batch script that checks to see if the file is more recent and copies only files that have changed.  Although perhaps a little aggressive, you could plan this thing check-and-copy-a batch file - again to run every 60 seconds.

    Batch files allow you to control the operations very directly, but Microsoft has also made a (not supported) tool called SyncToy who does all the same things, but has a graphical interface to select your options. It can be programmed to run automatically on a schedule.

  • What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    When organizing photos for Photos for Mac app, I find that the Photos makes "copies" of files within the library of Photos and must reference a file if your settings are such that you do not copy the original files in the Photos app.

    Trying to manage the disk space for the Macbook Pro.

    The delete after import is available only when you import a device - a camera, card, an iPhone, but not when you import files from a folder on the system drive.

    You can delete the local image files of your system drive yourself, once you have imported the Photos and they were copied in the photo library.

    I would never use the option "delete after Import. The files will be deleted until you can check if the files have been imported correctly. If you find out later, that some of the imported files are corupted and illegible, it will be repeated o toolate import, because the files have been deleted from the device. Or worse, if pictures should plant a reason any during the import, all the pictures will be lost, if you have enabled "delete after import.

  • How to save a file under a different name without losing the original file

    Each year, I kept records of donation for our local community garden.  When I was with numbers on OS 10.6, I could go to file > save as > then enter the new name.  Do it this way, I could keep the original file and also have a new file.  The original file will not lose its data.

    But now, when I go to file all I see is to save or rename.  Let me give you an example:

    In 2015, when the amounts of donations would start coming to me, I opened the file from 2014 and pulled all amounts.  I replaced the title of donations to the Food Bank in 2014 with the 2015 food bank donations.  I would like to go to file and select Save as and type the new name for the file.  Is there something I'm missing that I cannot save under?

    Hold down the Alt/Option key while clicking on 'File' in the menu bar. This will give you the Save as option.

  • Is there an easy way to delete the original files replicated by iTunes game downloads?

    I have a library of great music stored on my Mac. When I subscribed to iTunes game, most of my songs appear in iTunes with the icon 'cloud' indicating that I was able to download the track, even if the files were stored locally in my iTunes music library.

    For various reasons, I wanted iTunes to recognize the local mapping to all my music files, so I selected my entire music library in iTunes, right click and choose 'download '. Now, it seems that all the files are uploaded to iTunes as a high quality files, which is great, but if I look in the folder for each album in my iTunes music library, I see now two copies of each song - the original file and the new higher quality file.

    In iTunes, I see only an entry for each track, so it's good, but the additional files are eating plenty of disk space unnecessarily. I don't want to go into every single album folder and delete old files to original, so I hope there is an easier way to remove.

    Download the original file, the Photos app, or it creates a copy of a lower quality?

  • Photos can not find the location of the original file

    Hi all

    I need help.

    My photo library cannot locate the masters original which means that photos don't load to icloud and photo book, I worked all year is riddled with exclamation points, because they can't find the file.

    Is that what I can do to fix the places they designate? The files are still on my computer, because none have been moved and I can find them when you use find any file, it's just that there are more 6 000 files that are "unable to download" so it would be very expensive to do it one by one.

    Thank you

    Paul

    The files are still on my computer, because none have been moved and I can find them when you use find any file, it's just that there are more 6 000 files that are "unable to download" so it would be very expensive to do it one by one.

    Are files that can be found inside the photo library in the folder of masters or referenced by pictures in a folder outside the library?

    If the photos are in a folder outside your library, check where Photos expected them to be.  The error you get when you try to edit or export the original file should show you the path to the file in the folder where the photo should be.  Where is it?  Try "file > see the file reference in the Finder.  He opens the folder where the original must be. Where is it?

    When I try to play a song I get an exclamation point next to the song and a pop up that says: "the song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? »

    I use Windows 10 and iTunes version 12.3.1.

    It's the path statement where the music is currently located on my hard drive:

    If I click on a single song from within File Explorer, it opens iTunes and the song plays without problem.

    To try to solve this problem, I went in 'Advanced' in 'Préférences' and changed the iTunes media folder location to match the location of the files on my disk hard as you can see below.

    Unfortunately, it did not work either. iTunes is always gives me the same message that it cannot locate the original files. I REALLY hope someone can help me finally tried for weeks to solve this problem.

    • Ensure that all students have access only "limited user" to the computer.
    • Set the permission for the folder in which the files are located on 'Read only' for administrator users.
    • It is easy to do if you have XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled (link).  In the case against (and anyway), read more here--> http://tweakhound.com/xp/xpperm/xpPerm1.htm
    • This method fails if you have students able to crack the password for the built-in Administrator account (or the password to your account "computer administrator").

    • Install and use an application like Deep Freezeconfiguration control.  This restores the computer to a known state whenever it is restarted.
