  How can I move only my new images on an external hard drive? I have my library of photos copied onto an external hard drive currently and you want to move only new images. The only way I know how is to move my library of photos once again, but then I would have 2 libraries of photos on the hard drive and double images I want.

  Also, how can I save my external hard drive to another hard drive external?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly new to back up my photos and tips on a systematic and safe method to save frequently pictures would be great! Thank you

  You can "move" and new photos to any photo library - you must use the Photos to import, iCloud library sync them or PowerPhotos to move

  How to backup up depends on your backup software - backup TimeMachine to an EHD - you need to remove the form DHM the list excluded in the TM preferences

• Laptop HP Pavilion 15-199sa: power external HARD drive Question

  I think to install an SSD and put the HARD drive in an external enclosure USB 3.0.

  However, I noticed that the maximum starting current of the HARD disk existing (a Seagate ST1500LM006HN-M151RAD) is cited as 1000mA, while the available USB 3.0 port output is only 900mA.

  Should I take particular notice of the "current maximum spin-up ' or do I have to find another way to feed the external enclosure?

  All have experience of moving from a HARD drive in an external enclosure?

  Thank you!

  Yes mine was 2.5 "internal & put in a usb basket.

  very old model notebook too butruns out a usb.2.0 port without problem.

  I think you will be fine & find your port can provide 1amp quite easily if necessary.

  Usually, all that would happen if port could not feed enough energy would be failure to load the USB device.

  The odds are in your favor, just buy a shopping cart 2.5 "usb3.0 of good reputation of quality that will support your large drive

  (caddy to take care of 1 or 2 TB is probably more matter than usb3.0, so check caddy spec full power)

• External hard drive question (Probook 4530 s A7K5UT #ABA)

  Hello

  I recently got a new HP Probook and I'm in love! Recently my father has installed a new hard drive faster. We recorded the old hard drive that came the laptop actually itself. I had some thing out there, but now I can't use function keys as well as all software HP shipped with the computer. So, how can I transfer essentially the old hard drive to the new so I can recover my programs?

• Satellite L670D Simple Drive external HARD drive question

  OS Windows 7 Home. Preload by Toshiba.

  Have a Toshiba simpledrive 1 T. When plugged into the USB hardrive are rewritten with shortcuts. Hard drive in Explorer properties shows data from correct volume on the disk, but I don't have access to the drive. Shortcuts anywhere.

  Disk formatted with laptop and work very well, but can not eject. Whenever I want to eject the disc, it is being used by another program. Cannot find the program using Xdrive. Once the X drive is off and then turn it back on shortcuts will be displayed again. Do not have the same problem with Xdrive on my PC - OS Win 7 Pro - works fine.

  I've updated to Toshiba laptop drivers, Bios etc. Also updated Windows still no go. It must be a problem with laptop, but I seem to not be able to solve it.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Hmm, try connecting the HARD drive to the computer before booting the operating system Win.
  Also, check if the software Xdrive isn't blocked by any other security software (antivirus, firewall tool, etc.).
  I also recommend checking the power management of the Win 7 on your laptop. Check if the USP ports are not configured to save energy.

• My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is

  My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.

  Help?

  Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

• LR Workflow question (external hard drive)

  Hello world

  I just started to really use LR correctly and love it. I am currently using structures of folders on my mac, at importation and his good work, however I only have a small HD on my mac so ideally want to move some of the files to an external hard drive. My question is what is the best way to do this? I understand that I can move the folder to an external hard drive, but is it the right way to do because my collection will then be shared between two places and some not saved if that makes sense?

  I have attached a screenshot so I hope it makes more sense

  

  To move the pictures to a different HD:

  1. In your operating system, (STILL) COPY photos to a new HD, keep the entire unchanged file hierarchy
  2. In Lightroom, do a right-click on the top-level folder and select the location of the update folder and then point to the new location of the top-level (parent) folder
  3. When you are 100% sure that it worked correctly, you can remove photos on the original hard drive.

  More details and screenshots, are found in part 2 of this document: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Related issue: most of the people do not take the photos exported, not only it saves hard drive space, but it's less work than the export of all

  Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

  You burned discs with other programs using this computer? Are you sure that you have a drive that will burn the disks?

• Question: How can I format an external hard drive

  I am trying to use an external hard drive with Time Machine.  He tells me that my external must be formatted in a format "journaled". I can't find any way to do it and the Mac is do not do it either. Can someone tell me how to proceed so that Time Machine works to put in shape?

  If Time Machine is not reformat the disk itself, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility, select the drive in the sidebar and delete it.

• Question about external hard drive file systems

  Some of my external hard drives use NTFS, other system FAT 32.  I use them mainly for the storage of RAW images, and they must be able to Exchange files between them, and with my computer using Photoshop 5 and Windows 7.  Should I wait for problems between these two file systems?  Or can it be just ignored?

  NTFS is better than FAT32. In addition to the benefits of using NTFS as mentioned by BearPup, the files will be safe as well as FAT32 NTFS. In addition, FAT32 has a maximum file (one file) to 4 GB size restriction. In addition, the file cannot be stored. For NTFS, it is more than 20 GB. The NTFS file system accident rate is very low compared to FAT32 format.

• A question on the sharing of external hard drives between computers and tagging in bridge.

  I'm editing/organizing files for a client on their external hard drives. If I label files in Bridge CS6 on my computer, will they see these labels when they open the readers in Bridge CS6 on their computer?

  Labels should be included in the metadata, so that they should see their.

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.
