  After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

  In the future more facts and less editorial help here

  SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem

  What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)

  You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries

  You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock

  When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library

  I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

• Lightroom CC - edition in the external editor with images located on the external hard drive problems

  I have recently moved most of my image containing folders on external hard drive. In general, everything works smoothly in Lightroom (running latest CC). However, if I try to use an external editor of in Lightroom, I managed opening image in Photoshop CC if it is chosen. However, if I try to edit in a NIK Collection programs (i.e. Viveza 2) or affinity Photo I get error messages. The copy of Tiff is generated within lightroom, but at the spearhead of the external editor the following messages are met...

  • Viveza 2 - 'News file. Plist could not be opened"
  • Photo of affinity - "'could not open the file - / Volumes/4Tb iMac/2015-10-20-202036/Macintosh of the castle of my book 2 Backup/Backups.backupdb/Neil HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Plug-ins.localized/Photoshop Filters.localized/Unsharp Mask.aip/Contents/Resources/he.lproj/InfoPlist.strings the file type is not supported.". " My external backup drive is " " " 4 TB my book 2 backup" but my images are on an external drive called "4 TB My Book 1" ".

  However, if I move the folders containing images of problem on my desktop (iMAC 27 2015) in Lightroom external editor command change... works very well. The images open with Nik Collection and Photo of affinity and save in Lightroom when save. Everyone knows about this problem? And if you have, is there a resolution?

  
  

  Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
  

  Neil

  Looks like I solved my problem with Lightroom. I disassembled my external backup drive, but upheld the disk external drive containing the photos up and then restarted my mac. After the reboot, I open Lightroom and chose the image on an external drive for mounting in affinity Photo and Collection of Nik. Both image successfully opened in editors. I reassembled the backup drive and rebooted time machine and repeated the same opening picture in external editors. Once again, works great. Have no idea where the original problem. Looks like a bad path was stored in a config somewhere file.

• External hard drive problems Y560p

  I have an Ideapad Y560p and my laptop does not seem to read large usb 2.5 ", external hard drives. I am trying to use a 500 GB and the disk turns but does not entirely and open in Windows. The external hard drive works on another laptop.
  Two computers use Windows 7.

  (Sometimes), I can access my 320 ext hdd, but this player also has problems. I also have a "TTO Tray" error that appears often, and these problems may be related.

  Any ideas on how I can solve these problems?

  Hi Zehn,

  Yes, I tried a cable in there, but the power supply doesn't seem to be the issue.

  I COULD have solved the problem. I found the disc in my device manager and it has been disabled. I tried to activate the device, but I got an error code 22, and I needed to remove the device. When I plugged it in the drivers have been reinstalled, and it seems to be good for now.

  Thanks for the suggestion!

• Since the update of Vista on my external hard drive problems

  I have a problem with my external hard drive. A week ago I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC. Everything worked very well, my external hard drive, too. But after installing all the new updates and SP2 my external hard drive has problems. If I copy something from her, or just listen to the music is recorded on it, so overall if I work with her, after 1 to 3 minutes it stops working. I have to sign in to get access to it again. But before installing SP2 updates after SP2 everything worked out very well. So I think that there is a problem with SP2 or the following updates. My Pc is a Dell Dimension 9200 and the external hard drive is a Verbatim 1 TB external hard drive and USB 2.0

  I tried to bbot with Ubuntu and delete the Autorun.inf. Now everything works fine again.
  Thank you

• Backup on external hard drive problems...

  I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

  Concerning

  Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

  The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

  The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

  Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

  Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

• How to back up drive C: on external hard drive. I have XP Home Edition

  I do not know how to backup to an external hard drive using Backup Assistant or any other method. I tried to go to 1. Launch 2. Accessories 3. sys Tools 4. There is no prompt to backup. Help!

  Thank you Ken

  This is because the NT backup program does not automatically get installed with XP Home.

  I'll tell you how to take care of this, and also why you might want to consider other more modern for your backup options (if you want it to run).

  The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

  \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

  Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

  Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

  Here is another article that explains how to:
  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  Now to the good part:

  If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

  If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

  There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

  A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

  With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

  They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

  It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

  Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

  Here are other products that the PML had proposed could be attractive (use Google to find them):

  Acronis
  Macrium Reflect
  Paragon backup and restore
  DriveImageXML

  Some disk cloning software for you to Google ideas:

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

• External hard drive problem (cannot delete files)

  I have an external hard drive that I use Windows XP and I am now on Vista 64-bit. I have no problem to access the files on the disk, adding of new files or move files on the hard drive. However, I can't delete the files located on the hard drive. If I right click on the folder or file, the Remove option * literally * does not appear in the menu. I'm on the administrator account (only the account that was created).

  The problem may be somewhere around this: if I right click on a file and goto Properties, read-only is enabled. If I disabled it and save, it acts like it is the application in the directory and all its subdirectories. When I return to the properties, it is again read only. I guess that the problem lies somewhere in the present.

  Any suggestions? This has been an incredible pain for many months.

  Thank you

  Hello Yuhatn,

  Thank you for posting.  Your problem is related to the file ownership.   You will need to change the permissions of the file/folder to be able to remove it.  You can do this by right-clicking on the file/folder and selecting the Security tab.  Once there, you can change the permissions of your account regarding this file/folder.  You may need to do this for all files in a folder to be able to delete the folder.  There is a 3rd party tools that will allow you to add this feature in the right click menu.

  Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

• Start with external hard drive problem

  I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive. When it is connected through the USB port my Pavilion a815n Windows XP hangs on the blue HP screen at startup. Western Digital technical support Advisor info sent to me I need to change a setting in BIOS but I can't find the trunk of USB device option setting in the BIOS of HP.  Can you tell me how to access this setting, or what else to do to solve the problem?  Thank you!  Jake

  Problem:
  After connecting a device USB to the PC, the computer does not start in Windows.

  Cause:
  The motherboard has a boot from the USB device, or a similar option, which is enabled in the system BIOS.

  Solution:
  In the system BIOS, disable the option to boot from the USB device and the USB Legacy Support option. This will allow the PC complete the process on the internal hard disk and allow you to enter Windows. If this does not work for any reason, you should boot your PC before connecting the USB key. Once the computer is fully booted Windows, plug the USB and wait for the operating system to detect the drive.

  Update the BIOS seems to have solve the problem. It was normally restarted with the attached hard drive.  Thank you!!  Jake

• new computer with win 7 pro when it is connected to a Flash drive or external hard drive poster, you have currently not authorized to access this folder or location is not available

  There are now 4 computers in front of me.

  Two are laptops 17 inch hp (consumer)

  Two are workstations mobile hp 17 inch (company)

  On the consumer books, I can view the files on my external hard drive 1 to and 1 GB player.

  On the company workstation (mobile), I'm not able to view the files on the hard drive or flash drive.

  I need your help so that I can save files from the internal hard drive of the mobile platform of book z hard disk external.  And I need to be able to reconnect the external drives and readers to the Zbook mobile workstation to transfer files to transfer flash.

  These are the pop ups that appear for each when displaying of readers by opening my computer:

  When left click hard disk drive a pop up appears with the title bar: location is not available.

  H:\ is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  Make a right click on the hard drive allows FreeAgent GoFlex drive opening (h :)) properties)

  The tabs are ReadyBoost, previous Versions, Quota, customize, general, tools, hardware, sharing, security

  By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

  I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

  I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

  Then I went to the flash drive.

  Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

  You don't have permission to access this folder.

  Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

  After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

  You have been denied permission to access this folder.

  To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

  When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (g) properties

  The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

  He did not indicate what to do next.

  Summary:

  Two new computers hp zbook stations mobile work with win 7 pro

  Or computers with their multiple ports usb allows to access my external hard drive or flash drive.

  The external hard disk and flash dirve each work very well with the consumer portable computers hp with winning 8 and 8.1 of win and have worked with computers with win xp.

  How can I get the Replicator hp z book with win 7 pro for usb drives work with external hard drives or external flash drives?

  I have so far done the following:

  (1) run administrative guest with sfc/scannow and it found no violations of integrity

  (2) ran microsoft fixit will be all available Parameters which automatically checked and corrected each book workstation z mobile http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

  (3) contacted HP support

  (4) checked for malware using microsoft security essentials, malwarebytes and spybot on each mobile workstation

  (5) updated drivers using HP support assistant on each computer

  (6) windows update the device HP support assistant on each computer

  How do two new computers with win 7 pro can be connected to external drives that allow to view the files as they do with win xp and win 8 automatically?

  How can I access my files on the external hard disk and flash the mobile workstation book z?

  The specifications for the mobile workstation of zbook are:

  Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1

  Microprocessor: Intel core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.7 GHz

  Moemory system: 16 GB of memory on 2 1600 MHz dimm

  Graphics device 1: Nvidia Quadro K3100M

  Graphics device 2: Intel HD 4600 graphics card

  Hard drive 1: SCSI Disk Device

  C: 683.42 (613,62 free go-go)

  D: 12.21 GB (1,3 GB free)

  E: 1.99 GB (1.97 GB free)

  The hard drive is a seagate 1 TB drive that works very well

  The flash drive is a 1 GB drive which works very well

  This problem has been resolved.

  Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

  Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

  This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

  The problem has been resolved by:

  (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

  (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

  When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

  The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

  This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

  Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

  When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

  I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.
