• External hard drives are not recognized by Lr4

  When I plugged my two external hard drives to my computer this week, Lr4 does not recognize them. Each folder has a question mark by it.

  Appreciate any help... Thank you!

  Dave, none of us "aid" are employees of Adobe, we're all users just like you... it is a user forum where we all help each other.

  Return to the specifics of your problem, "eject" is a function, you should find the area of the Windows taskbar system tray, but you may need to click the little pointing up (marked in blue on the attached screenshot) arrow to 'show hidden icons', which will reveal a bunch of other icons and the one you need is marked in red. Click on that to reveal a list of devices that can be ejected, select the one you want and wait to be advised that it is safe to unplug.

  To be honest, I would never disconnect a drive just unplug him.

  Regarding your other external drives, like I said that Windows will assign the first available drive letter, unless you use the "edit the drive letter" option to assign a specific drive letter... in this case Windows will remember this assignment and will subsequently always use this letter provided it is available at the time of reconnection. In other Windows do not book the drive letter, but it will use it if it happens to be available.

  For this reason that I attributed to all drive letters my backup hard drives that I regularly remove after use, so I know I will always get the same letter each time (which is fundamental to my backup strategy).

• How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  my model is vgn-cr323.

  Thanks in advance

  Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

  To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

  Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

  Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• External hard drive is not recognized

  My external hard drive is not recognized by windows, the led lights up but no display on 'my computer '.

  Try it on another computer, if it doesn't, it could be a bad cable or hard drive box. Use a different cable or an enclosure.

  If it works on another computer, on your computer check the disk, if it is displayed in computer management. In Explorer, right click on "Computer", click 'manage '. Under computer management, storage, click on "disk management". If it is showing a right click on it, click on «Change drive letter and path...» ", click the"Edit"button and then assign a drive letter.

  Or if the reader is displayed, you can check in the Device Manager. In the device under Universal Serial Bus controllers Manager looking for the drive generally a mass storage device, right-click on it, uninstall and then restart. If does not uninstall everything under USB controllers, then restart your computer.

• Seagate 2 TB external hard drive does not register

  I almost always took care to disconnect the drive safely, and continued to work well when he is accidentally unplugged (only happened 3 - 4 times). Today he did not appear in the office or in the finder, the responses in this thread, external HARD drive Seagate will appear not in place were a little helpful but did not fix my problem. Here are some of the facts of the case, somehow:

  • I use a 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with a 1 TB hard drive (this was added later when the original drive has failed)
  • External hard disk was used to transfer large files a bit to a laptop running Windows 8 and was not ejected safely from this computer
  • The reader is displayed correctly on other MacBooks (tested today) and all files are in order.
  • The drive appears in the report of the system but does not appear in the disk utility.
  • The drive does not appear in the Seagate dashboard that was installed when the car was purchased.
  • The drive has two partitions: one for Time Machine and the other to the format to work on Mac and Windows to store normal files.
  • My MacBook has been impossible to open a .dmg file today, unconnected with. I do not have this issue.

  I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

  Hello

  The laptop supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
  I recommend you connect the external HARD drive to each port (USB 2.0) and USB3.0 just to check if it is not a compatibility problem. But generally, it shouldn't be a big problem to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 external.

  However, it could also be that this external HARD drive needs more than usual 500mA power supplied by a USB 2.0 port. In this case, you must use a USB cable to Y to connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.
