• The files cannot be copied and transferred to an external hard drive

  Hi, I would like to transfer all my files and documents in my pc to an external hard drive. I copied all the files and paste them into my hard drive. However, all the files have to be shortened in the external hard drive. Files saved the drive D cannot be copied, either.

• Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

  Hello.

  So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

  

  All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

  When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

  It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

  See you soon,.

• Synchronize folders with an external hard drive.

  Can anyone help? I want to be able to sync my library and office with an external hard drive (Freecom on USB) files.  The goal is to be able to maintain an up to the minute backup of all my files, so that the next time my hard drive failure I have to absolutely all backed up. I am aware that that is not only the problem of accidental deletion of files so periodically I will also manually save the backup to a different folder on the same hard drive, or is it also possible to get windows to schedule this backup type automatically)? Or y at - it another way to achieve this level of security of the files without a mirror raid arrays (or spend more money on hardware or software)?

  Try this:

• How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

  How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

  I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

  HI Thomas,

  Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

  I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.

• Finding deleted files and folders

  I have a woman living under my roof, which has decided to delete the value for the year of my photos and my files into oblivion...

  Any way to recover files that were not only sent in the trash but empty from there?
  I tried to restore my system to a date earlier and all records were back, but they were all empty.

  Is it possible to recover these files and folders still intact?

  Thank you

  Shawn

  It depends on how your file has been deleted.

  If your file was shreded using third party software so it is not possible...

  If it was simply window option Removing guy then... you have a restore option... You have not installed or copied all the files etc in the same place has PROVIDED...

  The best third party tool, you can use is the recovery of the PC a third-party tool...

  If you copied or whatever installed to the location where the files have been deleted... then stop trying you Cann't get back them...

  Yes...

• Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

  Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

  And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

  After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  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.

• How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

  I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

  (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

  Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

  1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

  2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

  3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

  Files to be copied.
