External drive has a different drive letter now, he does not see Lightroom Catalog.

The problem started when I plugged an additional external USB key. The drive that I use for my photos was labeled F:, now G: is labeled, even after you remove the extra disc of installation. The catalog in LIghtroom is still pointing on F:, which currently doesn't "exist". The physical drive is fine - Windows Explorer sees all files. I see two approaches to solve this, neither one of which I know how to do: (1) reallocate the letter F; at the promenade repoint (2) catalogue to G:.

Any contribution welcome!

Thank you

Chris

Those are the two choices.

To change the drive letter, go to Google and type in

change the Windows drive letter

To change if Lightroom finds the photos, see Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

    I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

    You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

  • Why my XP does not recognize a Toshiba 500 GB USB external drive... it does not appear in disk management or in computer

    Three things that you have not yet mentioned are

    1. don't change you the registry suggested by the KB Article (see: a computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB flash drive, an iPod from Apple or an external hard drive)?  I suggest do it manually instead of using the FixIt.

    2 represents the drive recognized in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)

    3 is the drive recognized in your BIOS (press the corresponding key on startup).

    2. Are access you other USB devices on the computer?
    3. Did you the latest changes on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you check if the hard drive is detected in disk management and make sure also hard drive has the drive letter to attributed to it.

    To open disk management

    (a) from the start menu, click Run.

    (b) in the Open box, type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

    Hello

    I think that it s a HDD issue naturally it s really strange that the HARD drive is different sometimes and sometimes it s is not visible, but I doubt that it could be software related issue. That's why I think that it s a drive HARD and in my opinion, you should check if other HDD SATA runs correctly.

  • Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

    For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

  • I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

    Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

    The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

    I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

    Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

    I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

    There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

    Thank you.

    Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
    I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

    Hello

    You can try the following steps and check if it works:

    Method 1:

    You can restore to an earlier device driver if you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading the driver.

    Restore a driver with its previous version

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/restore-a-driver-to-its-previous-version

    Method 2:

    If the steps above fail then you can perform a System Restore to an earlier point when it was working fine.

    It will be useful.
