External drive and the database is unable to re-connect after player swaps (?)

  • I have a problem for my existing database reconnected after adding a large SSD and replace a different hard drive in another Bay. Details below.
  • I run LRCC on a desktop machine Win7 64 bit with a lot of RAM.
  • My catalog is on record in the area and is the right size (2.93Gig for 120 000 images)
  • The catalog and previews are on an SSD - not with images
  • My picture files are on an external RAID USB3 battery; I have everything in a folder called "Lightroom".
  • This external hard drive is reported as 'online' in the folders pane
  • My picture files can be seen under the name of the external drive (RAID) on which the images are stored.
  • for example, no folder with question marks
  • The correct image files do not appear elsewhere in the LR Folders pane.
  • I had to rename and rebuild the drive letter for the external drive. I don't think it would be a problem. He had been driving \K: front and eventually re-assigned a different letter. When I looked at the share path, he was wrong, as he used the name of another drive (internal). That's when I forced reassignment to the letter assignment and the previous path that had worked all along.
  • I started to go back to older catalogues, and they do not open Lightroom with the data pane and folder showing the images where they are stored in fact.
  • These older catalogs don't present me with 'Found Photos' question marks, or the other. I went back a month. No luck.
  • If I pass the folders pane and try to 'Add' a folder root Lightroom on the external drive (the correct House of images), it becomes an IMPORT, and I find a lot of images that are not understood by LR in the database. They should ALL be already there.
  • Most of these images - that need to be imported - verified are JPG files versions for which the. CR2 is considered to be the database. I can't find key words assigned to the images we think by LR for being in the database, although I don't know if keywords for images already databased are normally at this stage.
  • Yes, I restarted a bunch of time in the hope of a miracle! Any ideas on that?
  • Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I'd be tempted to go to a previous backup for example before you removed something. Double-click the .lrcat file to start or start a catalog file vacuum > new Catlaog and open the backup into that.

Then it should be possible to remap the drive letters or update folder locations to match with the raid.  You might even consider static drive letters such as X, Y, Z.

  • I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

    Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

    Thank you in advance for the answer...

    What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

    Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

  • What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    Your library system can be on an external drive, if the drive is Mac OS extended (journaled) format and mounted on-site.

    But you must be careful, your external drive is always connected and available before the Photos and to import new photos.

    If Photos opens a different library, news, you can switch to the library on your external drive by double clicking on an external library. You can have several libraries, no problem.

    But pictures don't have any tools to merge libraries. You can switch between libraries, then open them alternately.  To merge two libraries export the photos of the smallest library and import the photos exported in the largest library.

    Or use third-party "PowerPhotos" to move photos between libraries.  But the merger is not supported in the free trial version. You must purchase the full version. You can download it here: Fat Cat Software

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Should I unplug external drives during the upgrade?

    Contemplating upgrading to El Capitan.  I have an iMac end of 2014, so I know that it is correct.  My question is - should I disconnect all external drives and devices before you run the upgrade, or it doesn't matter?


    I remember too, when I updated before, the new operating system does recognize the Time Machine backups.  Should I do to be able to access the TM of the previous operating system?

    Thank you

    Barbara

    It can't hurt to unplug external drives.

    Time Machine should recognize the previous backups. Which means, you should be able to go back to the backups made since previous versions of OS X. I know when I upgraded from 10.10.5 to 10.11.3, I could see/restore back ups in 10.10.5.

    Another thing to consider is once the Installer OS X El Capitan.app file is downloaded and before you click continue to install, copy this file from / applications to another folder (for example, downloads) so that you have it if you need it in the future. Download time records.

  • ProBook G1 430: Encrypted hard drive and the corrupt Windows Installation

    My laptop has an encrypted disc using HP drive encryption.  Recently, the Windows installation has become corrupted and I could not repair the installation using floppy disks to install Windows because they cannot access the encrypted drive, nor can they be accessed by other facilities of Windows if I plug in the external drive.  The two methods see the Windows partition as a RAW format.  I guess it's only because the partition is encrypted and has no way to determine the actual format type.

    I searched around to find clues as to how I could get past the encryption, but without success.  The computer is no longer under warranty, so I'm looking for options that will allow me to have access to the data.  The methods I've read all required the computer under warranty.

    I can still go through the encryption after the computer starts, but Windows Setup gives an error and tells me that I must use an installation disk to fix.  I have attached a picture of the screen of the error.

    I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide to solve this problem.

    After much patience and time on the phone with HP, I finally able to return the encrypted Windows installation.  They gave me a copy of the WinPE environment was a software that allows you to decrypt a partition which was encrypted with their software and execute commands Windows on it.  I then ran the repair bootbcd order and I was able to get Windows to start.  To obtain this software, my case should be escalated to tier 2 support.

  • Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

    Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

    I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

    Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

MyBook is a drive letter (M) when it is connected to my desktop computer and another letter (L) when it is connected to my husbands office, USB key has the same letter, no matter what usb port is used. Is the letter assigned when the file is created and does not change? or is it to the port to which it is connected to? in what computer?

    Each computer assigns the player to the first drive letter not used in alphabetical order.  It makes no difference what port it connects to.

    Hello

    It is not advisable to keep an external driver connected to the computer during startup. When a computer starts, and it detects an external drive it will assign the next available drive. While the network drive later loads the first available drive letter is assigned to the external drive.

    I suggest you to re - assign the drive letter on the external drive and then check if that helps, follow the link for more information.

  • Cannot access an external drive on the network

    I have a network problem. I have a Dell 640 m laptop, Vista Ultimate SP2 32 bit, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Vista Firewall, Kaspersky AV 2009.

    I have my laptop and my office in the same working group. I can not access my 200G Iomega external for my laptop. It is connected to my desktop dell running XP SP3, Avast Pro, Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. I have two internal drives on my desktop mapped and accessible from my laptop. I also have the printer connected to the netwoked desktop from my laptop and it works fine. I have sharing enabled for the external drive.

  • Files copy automatically to the external drive to the basket.

    Hello

    Q.1

    Whenever I'm copy/move files from my computer to a disc external hard or vice versa, I often had the message prompt "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The XYZ file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.  YES/SKIP/CANCEL.

    Please advice why I got this message and what it means.

    Q.2

    Very that often, when I left and I deleted my external thumbdrive or a portable hard drive to my computer, I noticed that the trash on my desk was filled with a lot of files/folders that I have recognized that they were things of mine, but I did not understand how they appeared in the trash at the time when I did not remove my external hard drives before I left my computer.

    Then, when I plugged my external hard drives to check if these files/folders had been accidentally deleted quickly, I found that they were still there.

    This kind of incident occurred in Windows XP-based computers and Windows 7.

    Please indicate why/how this could happen.

    Hello!

    I have LR is trying to see how the workflow.

    I'm working on a project, I need to select the final images to use in the project of as a value of a year of photos.

    My main interest is using LR at the moment.

    I have all my files on an external drive.

    + First step is to import and then adding them to a catalog on my internal drive.

    + I select 'building intelligent insights' so I can work in offline mode

    Then from there, the process of selection and Keywords, etc..

    Does this sound right?

    ~ If I have other projects, I would create a separate in my computer for each project catalog?

    ~ would be metadata that I added in LR only incorporated on the files I use LR?

    I want to say is,

    If I was to go in my external drive from the desktop and place an image,

    What is metadata?

    Thank you!

    Sounds good.

    I suggest working with a single catalog only.
