Copy of images from sources (not moving) on a second external hard drive - Lightroom doesn't not grateful

I have my images from source on an external drive, but when I copied (not moved) these source images to a second hard drive for backup (via the Finder), Lightroom would not indicate the player or images. How can I get Lightroom to recognize this drive / these images?

Hi andrewp46044898,

Greetings.

You first have to import at least one file of this external drive, so that the reader appears in the records of Lightroom.

Also, make sure that you have read and write on this external drive access.

  • Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

    When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

    It depends on the size of the file.

    It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

    See you soon.

  • Mac > Windows 10 - moving pictures on disk external hard drive C: or?

    First time Windows user; not much experience with LR/PS/cc.

    Before selling my MacBook, I have all my files photo copied on an external drive. I just built a Windows PC and want to copy files from the external drive to the C: drive.

    In the file browser, I see the external drive, drive C:, and "This PC', a section called"Images ". In this framework are three files: Camera Roll, Lightroom, the recorded images. In "Lightroom" is: Lightroom Catalog Previews, catalogue Lightroom, Lightroom Catalog.Ircat.lock, Catalog.Ircat - Lightroom journal.

    Just downloaded PS and LR and the preceding must have been placed on my computer during the download.

    My question is where can I copy files to my external drive to? One of the above or on the C: drive?

    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    I would certainly put pictures on the external hard drive. There is virtually no advantage to place them on the C: drive, and they don't take up much space.

    The whole of the process of moving to another computer is described in detail here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/

  • Moving shared files on external hard drive

    I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

    So two questions:
    1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
    2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

    Thank you

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

    Cause:

    This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

    Method 1: Perform a clean boot

  • moving video files on external hard drive

    I recently added a 1 to. external hard drive. I saved my documents etc.  Now, I'm moving all my video files from my lap top to my drive hard ext.  BUT!  A message keeps coming up saying I don't have enough disk space. There are still 931 GB of free space on the disk hard ext. Can someone help me to overcome this problem.

    Just a guess...  How is your external hard drive formatted?  For information, right-click on the drive and select "Properties".  There will be a line of "File System".  If the file system is one of the types of FATS (for example FAT32), then the maximum size of a single file is 4 GB.  If you have files larger than this, you will need to reformat the drive to "NTFS".  The procedure to do this is here:

    Hi Cbx_ladyarabica

    Please contact the Microsoft Community.

    I like to show you a point for Microsoft Security Essentials. Want to know if there is a possibility of virus being transferred on the external hard drive and back, as well as files. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

    It is a possibility that the virus may be transferred along with the files provided that they are infected, as well. To be on the safe side, I'd like you try to run a full scan on the computer by using various third-party programs (such as suggested by Andre) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    NOTE: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Lightroom does not recognize the external hard drive?

    When I try to import files from anywhere - my office, or a SD - card in Lightroom 4 or now 6 (updated just to see if it would help), Lightroom is the photo file in what I would call an external hard drive of ghost. It creates a second external hard drive file that seems to be a copy of the original. A few weeks ago, the name of external hard drives has been accidentally changed or partially erased when I backup my hard drive without supervision in Time Machine. I'm working on an iMac with OS 10.11.4. At that time there Lightroom could not find any of my files of course! So, I renamed with much attention the hard drive exactly the same original name and Lightroom everything very well - recognized except, I started having this problem of import. When I import a file of the photo, he put it in an external hard drive of Ghost with the same name, size and number of files. If I try to move the file to the real external hard drive where it is supposed to go, Lightroom told me that the file already exists in Lightroom. If I look in my external drive outside of Lightroom, the file is where it is supposed to be. I tried just 'Add' the file to Lightroom, rather than copy or move, and that's okay. I tried to re-pointing Lightroom on your drive. Does not work. The only way I can get the files to go where I want they is to import, then highlight the recently imported file and move it to the folder of the mother. So, I have to move the file into the folder of the mother in the subfolder and then delete the now empty ghost the disk folder manually hard phantom. Help! Is there a way to merge the external hard drive with his ghost (or duplicate)? I can't find anything in the forums or documentation, and when I tried to call tech support, I came across a brick wall which is very frustrating. They said I couldn't get help by phone, I have to use the forums. So, please, let me know what I can try.

    Hello Deborah

    Seems to me this is probably a problem of conflict with the readers in your catalog and LR is confusing where to put images and creates a clone instead. You have to work smart to get rid of the clone disk keeping the images with the same folder structure. If it's a long process, however, I'll try to be as simple as I could.

    To do a test at White folder on the drive itself out of Lightroom that must be maintained at the same place where the main images folder (main folder means - the very first folder under your player in your catalogue which should include all subfolders on the disc itself), then put a picture in the test folder and import it. the test folder will be part of the new drive of clone in catalog you would then move the main folder of the Original disc to the Clone drive in your catalog. Once you are done with the displacement of all the structures of folders in the test under drive clone folder. The original drive that was not identified by Lightroom would be gone if this isn't the case you can remove it manually and this is how you would leave with single drive with all your files/images existing and if you try to import the images now. They would go directly in the same destination folder that you choose on the screen to import instead of going in any drive clone/ghost.

    Thanks Deborah for bringing This issue to our view. And I amso glad I was able to solve this problem for you on call.

  • I want to copy files from one external hard drive to another and can not?

    Hello

    I try to copy the photo files and video from one hard disk to another.

    The donor 2 TB drive is formatted NTFS and the receiver is 1 TB OSX extended.

    There are about 72 000 photos and 475 GB in size. The 56 video about 226 GB files copied with some lacks but then make drag and drop made the other files of 5 or 6.

    I tried to drag and drop, but some files have been copied not. After a lot of research through what was had been transferred I found about 5,000 had not copied I then did drag and drop with each of the 20 files or if some copied OK.

    The troublesome files kept suggesting that a file "already exists" and stops the process when I clicked ok.

    I want to delete the NTFS drive and reformat for OS X extended and then replace them on the 2 TB drive.

    What I am doing wrong? Need me a software to copy?

    Select the drive in the disk, then Edit/restore utility and select your 2 TB drive in restoration since. This will probably reformat the external hard drive, erase all data.

  • Copy the library from an external hard drive to another catalog EHD and sync

    Already, I saw this link but it doesn't tell me how to copy the library, it simply moving photos from one hard drive to another How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom "Julieanne Kost's Blog of »

    I want to know how can I make a second copy of my library on my second drive, backup in case where my only main falls down and I want it so that my catalog can be synchronized with my second backup drive.

    Any ideas?

    The easy answer is to-

    1. close Lightroom

    2 use the software to 'mirror' of your Master images folder and subfolders of the primary transmission to the second DHM operation.

    Some free Windows software-SyncBack, MS-Synctoy, FreeFileSync.

    * If your Lightroom catalog file exists in the records of Master images, it will appear in the "mirror".

    * You can exclude the... Previews.lrdata folder of EHD. (it can be huge, and it can be re-built)

    * Note: "block mirror" made an exact copy of the files, it adds new files and removes the file 'deleted' SMT. It should not be used as a backup of the system-Deleted files are also deleted from the "mirror".

    * Note: You must not access the EHD copy using the catalogue work Lightroom on the main drive - this will only create chaos.

    3. If you want to restore from a system crash JEP 'mirror' will catalogue and image files in the exact state at the time of the last "mirror." Copy everything back to the main unit and open the catalog. LRCAT file. Lightroom is back in business.

    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.
