• Photos of deleted the external hard drive after updating Lightroom

  I just installed the new update.  Wish I had read some of the forums before hand.     Of the photos on external hard drive and I wanted to add them to the catalog.  After that I added to an existing catalog, I don't see pictures on the external hard drive.     If I click on the folder on the external drive, there is nothing in the folder.     If I unplug the external drive, I see the question mark by the photos.

  In addition, if I take the external hard drive and plug it into my laptop (Macbook Pro), Lightroom detects photos and does not watch the point mark.  However, I can not see the pictures on the external hard drive.

  Where can I watch, or how to find them.   This seems very odd.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for the reply Akash.

  I did as you asked.

  When to disconnect the drive and click on ""?, "it shows the external drive as the previous location."

  Where to plug the hard drive and search using the finder, that nothing is found.

  When I connect the drive, Lightroom see files and works normally.

  Lightroom sees the files if the external hard drive is connected which leads me to believe that they are still on the drive.    However, they are able to access by Lightroom.  I see nothing in the files on the external hard drive.

  This really baffled me.

  Kind regards

  Do I USE creative cloud as an external hard drive pour update my operating system?

  The main cloud Creative program must be installed on your system's main drive - then you can't have the whole installation on a separate disk.  Applications can be installed on a different disk.

• Not ready external hard drives after reboot

  You have a weird question, or perhaps I should say one on that I can't find something. I've dealt with it for years and finally had enough of it. Rarely, I restart my Mac, do not need, is not something that happens often. But on the question.

  I have an iMac of 2015, internal SSD, or merge, I suppose, and a couple of external hard drives attached. Both are 4TB readers, by USB (for backups) and FireWire (for data, applications, iTunes library, photos, etc.). Both work perfectly during normal use.

  The question is when I reboot. My hunch is that these external drives are not fill their mental health checks / faster the drive internal system files, and when the OS is logged in, all the stuff on my external drives (in this case, my iTunes library) is not found. Of course, everything I do is point iTunes to the external drive and everything is fine (well, that and tell him where to find my wallpaper because it doesn't by default mountain landscape photo!).

  So I'm wondering - is there a way to delay the start of the BONE or the final control until external drives are online? Not a huge problem, but why not. I'm tired of fixing stuff when I reboot. Or else, is something to not configured right and the cause? Hmm.

  What do you say?

  Try to connect the external disk after reboot completed if he could climb.

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

• Move photos on external hard drive after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I have a lot of photos and have you run out of space on my MacBook.  After doing some reading, I discovered that I should be bale to move my library to an external hard drive, then the point of Photos to run from the external hard drive.

  I have recently updated to El Capitan, and as part of this upgrade that my photos have been migrated from iPhoto to the Photos.  I just checked the current location of my library and I found two.  One is named Photo library and which resembles the pictures one use which makes sense.  However, I also have a file called iPhoto library and it is listed as a library migrated under file type.

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  Yes, if you want to free up your internal disk storage moving two libraries of the iPhoto library you have migrated your external drive and the new library of Photos.

  The two libraries share the storage for the original images and previews.  As long as one of the libraries is always on the internal disk and using storage, storage is not released: see: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Drag the two libraries to your external drive, then double click the pictures library to open it in photos and test it. Once you are convinced that the copied library works well, you can delete the original in the internal drive.  Do the same for the copied iPhoto Library if you have installed iPhoto.

• Can I use my old external hard drive after replacing SSDS?

  I recently bought a replacement of SSD for my hard drive.  A friend suggested I have get a box for the old man and keep it in a backup or extra.  I was wondering how difficult that would be, and I would be able to run applications from her?

  -Matt H.

  Yes, your friend is good, just buy a USB box for this and then you, it's like any other external hard drive. You can get these 10 pounds and more, but you get what you pay for.

  Simply open the screw in the naked reader, plug, close the case and you are done. It's very simple to do.

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.
