• Visualization of images on external hard drive via Photos app

  Is it possible to view photos stored on an external hard drive through Photos app?  I want to use the slide show feature but don't want to import them on my mac every time I want to see photos of old (and consequently taken disk space).

  I just saw that when I import a picture in the Photos app, each image takes place twice the amount of space on my drive hard because it "copy of the original file.  Rather than using a reference library, which, according to other threads, is ill advised, I had to use an external hard drive for storing images instead.

  Photos is not a photo viewer - is a Photo Manager and deals only with photos that have been imported into its library - you can have your library on an external hard drive or a second library on an EHD or you can use a third party Slideshow software

• How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

  Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

  so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

  If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

  thnx

  The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

  Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

  What do you see when you check the Format?

• The thought of Garland two external hard drive backup

  At the present time, due to the size of my photo database (catalogue), I work on an external drive of the company and do not use the hard drive of my computer for storage. I think, for a backup, I should probably pipe another external drive that I have and use it as a backup.

  Looking for input on this before you go out and buy a disc, has this logic of common sense?

  If you work in this way, I would like to hear about it.

  Not seen with USB, but is fairly common with FireWire 400 and 800. In fact, it is the only way to connect several FireWire drives the latest range of MacBook Pro.

• external hard drive backup restore, .swm files

  I used the backup feature of my Pavilion g7 to make a backup to a hard drive external.  Then I restored the computer to the original factory State.  When I try to restore the backup, I go to the external drive, open the backup folder where the .swm files are stored and click on restore.  It then passes through what seems to ba a restore process (I can see my files on it as it loads) for about 30 minutes.  Subsequently, there is a folder on the desktop named "system recovery files", and I can't do anything with. In the meantime, none of my old files on the computer.  Very strange. have not seen another thread that looks at this issue.  Can not know what does the restore process and where my files are going, if anywhere.

  Thank you!

  I would add that the disk external drive, the file restore.exe has a date of 2010 on it while the .swm files have a date of 2013. Strange, as in other posts of reading, it seems all the files created in this backup must have the same date.

  Hello

  2010 is the date for the program, it won't change, but files of stormwater management are not the same unless they have the same point of restoration/time. Just run like s Adminitrator restore.exe (right click and run as administrator) and must restore it for you filws.

• Transfer of photos to an external hard drive, lost photos

  I had a new hard drive LaCie today, connected and started a new folder on the drive to store my photos.  In Lightroom, I dragged my first record, one that contained about 2 000 images on the new folder on the external drive.  He began to transfer files, but stopped after 532 files and said that everything was transferred.  Photos of ~ 1500 remaining seem to have disappeared - they are not appearing on my laptop or external hard disk.  Could someone help me through this and understand what has happened to my photos?  I have transferred the wrong way?

  You experience a rare but persistent and nasty bug that Adobe says they have searched and cannot find (see answer 27 here: Re: lost photos )

  Re: Lost photos

  Missing 6 months worth of pictures of my kids, HELP!

  In the future, it would be wise not to move the photos in Lightroom. Instead, you can move the pictures in your operating system and then reconnect in Lightroom using Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing;

  For now, you must restore the photos of your backups.

  Hey people Adobe, perhaps you should look into this new.

• How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

  I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

  Can someone give me directions?

  Thank you

  Jean S

  If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

  If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the Seagate Plus 2 TB external hard drive backup

  I am unable to get my laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit to recognize my 2 TB Seagate external drive. Seagate tech suggests that I need a chipset driver-whatever that is. I tried many times to install Acronis DiscWizard, but get a fatal error message. I had no problem to install on my desktop and perform the backup. It takes also place W 7 Pro, but 32-bit. Help!

  I reformatted the drive on my desktop to make three partitions: one for my office, one for my laptop and a spare part for what I might need to. Then, I downloaded DiscWizard on Seagate website. It works on my desktop, but not my laptop. My laptop is a Vostro 3550 about three years, and I've never had other USB connection problems. I tried all three USB ports and none works. My office is older, about 6 years old.

  The error message is the following

  Installation failed

  Fatal error during installation

  When I tried to install DiscWizard. I wonder if the fact that my office is 32 bit and my laptop is 64 bit is a little difference. I installed first DiscWizard on my desk.

• Time Machine backup external hard drives

  I've been using Time Machine to back up to an external hard drive.  External hard drive backups are visible in TimeMachine when the external hard drive is connected to the computer. How can I see the backups if the external drive is lost?

  External hard drive backup is buried in the backup.

  I strongly recommend using an alternative backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner. Allows you to separate the backups. Time Machine does not work.
