• When I open Firefox I overload my profile. I uninstalled it and reinstalled on my external hard drive. When I open Firefox it recreated the ideas of folderAny how do I change the setting so that this folder is in my hard drive

  most of the information is in my question. My profile on my home computer is limited. I would like to set up Firefox so it puts the profile and any other information on my external hard drive. I tried all of the optional parameters, but have not been able to solve the problem

  You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile, then click on the button choose to set the location of this profile on the other disk. You must specify a new (empty) location for this profile because Firefox uses the specified location and does not create a new folder. This allows you to specify an already existing profile on this player and Firefox it will use.

  See the location of the custom profile > Firefox Thunderbird and SeaMonkey 2

• Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

  Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

  Thank you

  LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

  If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

  If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

• I have an external hard drive that I formatted using vista. I can't read this same hard drive with xp

  I recently formatted a WD external hard drive via my computer vista laptop. I downloaded several MB of files on the hard drive. My Vista laptop crashed and I need a new hard drive. I'm trying to access these files through my XP laptop. I see the DRIVE - "D". However, when I try to access the drive, what happens with "the disk in drive d is not formatted" do you want to format it now?

  That fixed my problem. I can now access this drive.

• How to recover my data stored on an external hard drive now that I use a MAC

  I bought a Sea Gate 2 to external hard drive for my Dell PC a few months back.  It saved my whole computer and check everyday for any extra stuff back up.  Recently, I switched to a MAC, and in a prime time could not open at all.  However, I called door seafarers and they helped me set up my Mac so now I can open it as a hard drive.  However I still do not see the material recorded from my PC.  I was told that Windows has somehow compress the files when it is saved as a backup, and this is perhaps why I can't see my old files.  If anyone has any ideas I'd love to help.

  It's really a question you need to ask the experts of Mac (choose the forum that pertains to your variety of Mac).  However, the information that anyone who will help you needs to know is what software created backup files.  In other words, what "saved" your computer?

  For example, you use Windows Ntbackup?  You use software provided with the Seagate drive?

  If you can open the Seagate on Mac disk, configure your Mac to be able to show file name extensions (the letters after the dot): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh825.html and register this file extension to your aid application.

• Disconnected (removed) external hard drive still exploring and using drive letter - how to remove?

  Dear community,

  I recently removed an external hard drive of my computer laptop windows 7, I guess it was not not ready to 'remove Saveli' it at that time. The hard drive itself is fine, but the icon remained in windows Explorer because it is disconnected. I manually assigned the drive letter Q on the drive before, and it always appears like that, since this disconnect. When I click on it, there is of course a mistake ("Q is not accessible. "Access denied"). When I plug the hard drive it is listed in another letter (E), the 'Phantom' to Q drive is not affected by it at all.
  It (the ghost drive) does not appear in the computer/disk management manager and I can also not reassign the letter Q on the original hard drive (or any other - is not in the list!).
  I would use the letter Q again to the hard drive (my paths and associations of are consistent) and want to get rid of the ghost car. Any ideas how?
  Thanks in advance,
  Philipp

  FYI
  It's great that the problem corrected itself, but for general reference or other who can run in the ii, how to fix a ' stuck or ghost hand "is to remove its entry in the registry key below and then open a new market or restart.  This problem is relatively rare, but sometimes and still does not resolve itself.
  (Note this drive letter Q is used by Office, click Run and sometimes mysteriously appears for this reason, unlike your situation.)

• Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

  I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
  Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

  Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

  Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

  > Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.
  > Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?
  Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

  What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
  It would begin installing the XP installation program.

  But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.

• How can I search for files on my external hard drive WD My Passport, using spotlight?

  Hello

  I bought my first apple product, a MBP of the retina and has opened and updated at the El Capitan 10.11.6 a few hours ago.

  I need exclusively for music (traktor and ableton) and research songs and samples is essential.

  First slap my face was when I read on school drop-outs and questions with traktor and every update after that Yosemite 10.5 and I could have downgrade to it, even if I have no idea how.

  Second slap in the face and the question, I'm looking for help, was when I started to use spotlight to find the pieces of my external WD My Passport hard drive, only to discover this method of index (confidentiality, etc.) does not work and that there may be no solution for this problem.

  Can I do to solve this problem permanently? Any other tool of research, I can use instead of spotlight which will do the work?

  I was really happy with this purchase, but I have my doubts now and I'm starting to think that I have spent a fortune for nothing.

  Please, if you have any suggestions, explain in detail because I'm not familiar with the Apple OS.

  Thanks in advance!

  FWIW, Spotlight can certainly index external drives.

  You can use EasyFind since the alternative App Store as a research tool.

• Satellite 2450 (XP) does not recognize my external hard drive

  I recently purchased a Hitachi USB 2.0 external hard drive. When I plug it into my computer (from Toshiba Satellite with Windows XP) it 'Bing' to let me know its been recognized and appears in the options of 'Remove hardware safely', but not in 'my computer '.

  I looked on other sites to help tech & they suggested to go to him & records management assigning a drive letter, but I can't do because it does not appear in disk management. It appears in Device Manager, disk & it says that the camera seems to work fine.

  don't really know what to do! Help!
  Have all the latest windows/microsoft updates/Service packs etc...

  works fine on another PC and we tried to disconnect/reconnect (there is no external power supply required)

  through directly to the laptop via a usb cable

  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

  It's very strange. I use two external hard drives connected to the USB ports and two of them are recognized correctly. I checked it with my old 1900 satellite also.

  I put t really know what can be the problem. The HARD drive is connected with two USB cables (as in my case)?

  Try to remove the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the device and plug it in again. For me, it is known that HARD drive is not recognized correctly when the HARD drive is removed without using Safely Remove Hardware and reconnected. Also try different USB ports on your device.

  As I understand your unit As USB2.0 ports and I really don t know why this happen. If there is no possibility try to check some other external HARD disk. It will be interesting to know if it's some kind of common problem or individual cases.

• Seagate external hard drive will not mount

  I can't get a TB Seagate Backup Plus 2 player to mount on my Macbook Pro 2011. When I plug it into the USB port, disk utility detects it. I ran check disk and it said the necessary repair disk. Then I ran the repair disk and it said it was successful. However, the player still don't let it go. The disc appears on the other Mac, but not my Macbook Pro. It is not the problem of the USB port either because I was able to mount other external hard drives in order to use it. The reader has already worked on my Mac until I updated my OS from Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  Something could be wrong with my Mac that prevents the installation disc, or is it more likely to be a problem with the drive?

  I guess it is related to software driver for Seagate to support the NTFS on mac.

  OS X support NTFS natively, but read-only.

  The installation of the supplied driver allows read-write access, but it is obsolete seamingly.

  I just got the last of Seagate site, but it is still pretty new. The Info said taking in charge until Mavericks only.

  If this is the case, you can take a from below.

  1. Uninstall the current driver and expect to release a new Seagate. In the meantime, you can have read access to the disk.
  2. Uninstall the current driver and get the latest version of the driver by the developer instead of Seagate. The last time the developer (Paragon) even on El Capitan and without limitation to Seagate drive. (Paragon is not free but has the trial period - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ )
  3. Uninstall the current driver, then take the alternative. The son will be your help for this. - Need to write to the drive (ntfs) outside Yosemite
