File picture Drobo (or any other external drive) transfer?

I decided to take some of my old photo files in LR from previous years and put them on the Drobo... but always have the catalogue to access.  However, it seems that I do not receive the virtual copies to the Drobo with the rest of the file.

Is there some step or technical, I'm missing?

Thank you!

Steve

The virtual copies are just the metadata contained in the catalog. Move the files themselves, reinstall them in the LR catalog (right-click, update folder location) and everything will be fine.

  • Fast download of all pictures of iCloud on an external drive?

    Hi all

    This question was asked a few times, but no real progress seems to have been done in the past months, so I thought I would ask the question again, perhaps that someone has found a new 'thing '? :

    Location:

    -I would like to save all my (> 40 k pictures) photos currently in iCloud on an external drive.

    -I don't have enough memory space on my Mac to Park gradually through 'Photos' (i.e. download all original to my mac-function)

    -I want to directly choose a location (i.e., my external HARD drive) to store in.

    What I tried:

    -Via Safari and Chrome: connect to iCloud.com, select all images (via 'Shift' and select photo first + last) and direct downloads on the external drive.

    Problem:

    Since there are so many pictures, my Safari and my browsers Chrome "crashes" and do not complete the work (actually that they don't even start to download). If I select just say 5 pictures, it works in a jiffy.

    Any ideas, I would be grateful?

    Thank you

    Do not use iCloud.com.

    Set up a library on your external drive, make the system library and download the photos, once you've done that you can keep it this way, keep as a secondary library and change the library system to another library or simply export all the photos and remove the library.

  • Changes to the Raw files disappear when importing Images from external drive

    I use three external drives to copy my files from a work of transformation. Then I delete the original work on my hard drive portable. When I need to access these files again, I usually then re - import files in lightroom and remove the external hard drive. I used this system for years without problem. Recently, I found that when I go to import files from the external hard drive, my changes are gone. .Xmp files are there and I checked to make sure that the box is checked to write the changes to the .xmp file. I narrowed down it to two possible problems. It can be a problem with the disk hard as it seems to have started when I bought two new drives (see below). I also noticed that it seems to happen to Canon. Raw CR2 files and not Nikon. Raw NEF files. If someone has had this problem or have any suggestions?

  • Lightroom, from the external difficulties to other external drives.

    Well let's go. I guess that I do not understand how Lightroom 5 uses photos and a separate correctly cat. I've set up lightroom on a laptop (Macbook pro) and used 5 for about 3 years and so I 2103 2012 and 2014 inside folders. After watching a few videos, drags the parent folder in lightroom on an external drive. I took the car to my new iMac I would work from mainly, where I installed lightroom 5, connected the drive was a faff autour, don't know exactly what I did and managed to see all my photos and modifications on my iMac fine, perfect. Although the external drive is a 1 TB and I now have a 3 TB I would move it too much and use the 1 TB for backups only. I made a new folder in the 3 TB called Lightroom, so the drive appears now inside lightroom... but when I drag the folder parent with 20000 current images to the new folder in the 3 to (inside lightroom) it says I can not move the folder with all my photos, because it contains the lightroom catalog... I opened the 1 TB drive and in the lightroom spinning with all my images is a folder of backups, do not know why this is. There are about 8 files backup in there... Can someone please help explain what should I do? / what I need to do this without ruining everything! Thank you

    where is my current catalog now? My only class I use. There must be on the right of 1 TB?

    Your actual catalog can be found via Lightroom-> settings-> general tab catalog

    No, it doesn't have to be on the 1 TB drive

    I clicked on the catalog settings and clicked on 'Show' and he did to one of the folders inside this folder from backup on the 1 TB... I thought they were backups? Where would my catalog?

    Your catalog can go anywhere on any attached hard disk (not a network hard drive), but generally you'd put it on the fastest disk available, that would be your internal drive.

    I tried to take the record off the 1 TB named backups but then when I open lightroom it says the current catalog is missing and asks me to open a new one. So I put it in the record of 1 TB in the same place and went to the recent open lightroom catalogs and he chose, the back and everything is intact.

    You'll have to move the catalog of work on this dossier file. Even if you find what seems to be the working catalog in the Backups folder, this is the catalogue of work. Move it to another place, outside of the LIghtroom folder, using your operating system and double-click it to open Lightroom.

  • Why deleting 60 gb HD in standby mode does not prevent XP pro install to any other hard drive?

    The 60 gb HD when the works rehabilitated perfectly, going in and out of the previous day and stops correctly again if I get any other player, I am unable to get a new intall of XP PRO to complete.
    I think I proved the laptop itself retains the illegal abduction in car information.
    Installing xp gets as much as just before this first screen where it displays 39minutes go or somesuch, stop the message of
    "a write operation was attempted to a volume after it was dismantled"
    restart for the INSTALLATION RESTART program and then going in circles.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    So what do you have? Installed a new drive or just back to the old one? Maybe your disk is not inserted properly or the drive is may be defective.

    Check your drive with certain tools? One useful thing is the "UBCD - Ultimate Boot CD" where are many tools to check the hard disks.

    I suggest you to control your player with this CD.

    Yes, normally you can use an external hard drive in safe mode.

    Boot to safe mode and open Windows Explorer (double-click on my computer).

    You should be able to see the external hard drive, should be the letter E: or F: depending on how much other disks you have.

    You need to find the folder where your Itunes Music is maintained.

    "In Windows XP and Windows 2000, click the sign more next to the folders and drives to navigate. The default location is

    \Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents\My Music\iTunes Settings\nom.

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1364

    From there its all just find the folder, copy and then navigate to your external hard drive and paste.

    I tried to locate the itunes library file to try to move it, but couldn't move anything to my external dr (h) he brought under options in safe mode

    You should not try to boot from the external hard drive if that's what you do.

    Hope this helps

  • Library/files in the folder on the external drive

    The question is, when you import media to a folder on an external hard drive in a library on the same drive, which doubles the amount of space on the drive that is based on the size of the original files, so I choose the copy Option in the import window vs the leave in Place Option? I know, it should be obvious, don't tear me a new, I'm just checking?

    What kind of file is it? It is a structure of camera file? If so, you will need to copy, and the media are double. If it's just a folder from the Finder with multimedia files in it, the media splits using hard links. It appears in both places, but only use space in a folder.

  • What is the component of the ONECARE file backup? Is any other automatic backup software available?

    Windows Live OneCare has retired several years ago.

  • How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

    I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

    Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

    To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

    I just tested it and it works:

    In your excel workbook, go to the tab 'File', then 'Share', then 'Embed '.

    At the bottom of the dialog box, you will see the embed code.  What you want is the attribute "src" with the URL of the map.  Only copy this URL and use it in the web object.  See if that makes a difference.
