files and folders: How can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive?

Who can help, I just put a new account on my computer and deleted the old account. I backed up the old files on my external hard drive. I want to know is how can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive? I thank you for your time and knowledge have a very nice evening, Shawn

Because it's a new account (even if with the same name), the restore procedure is unable to put files and folders in the same place, they came (because this place technically no longer - if yes, then the process is done and the transfer is complete). It can create a set of separate files (maybe even under a new user name, if it has been stored in this way).  If so, all you need to do is copy the data as you would copy any other files and folders (not the main files of the user profile themselves but the data in them) on the new files in your user account and who will take care of the transfer. Here is more information about the restore procedure which may help you in the process.

Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

10. and you press "next".

11 guess what... no error!

12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • Seen my original library cut in two, can I have the second library on my laptop with images referenced on my external hard drive?

    Following the Division of the library and the Organization,

    I can duplicate the library system on an external hard drive. Then divide the library and erase part of it on my library system and do the same on the library to external hard drive blocking the erased part of the library system. Essentially to save space on my laptop. But I need to have two libraries on my laptop, one with the originals and iCloud services, and the second with "small pictures" listed on the external hard drive. Can I do it? How can I do? ¿Is - it safe on two libraries?

    Thank you!

    If you want to turn outside your library in a referenced library, with the originals on the external hard drive, you can not do it by duplicating the library if your original library is managed. Does not support photos to transform photos managed in referenced. The only way to make a photo referenced must import it such that referenced.

    You can do the following:

    • Export all the photo you want to move to a second library to your external drive.
    • Then, create an empty library on your internal drive and import the photos exported to this library with the preference "import. Copy items to the library' for disabled people.
    • Delete all the photos in your library that you moved to your new library referenced iCloud.
    • Keep a backup copy of your original library on your external drive, so that you can revert to the original version, if you made a mistake.

  • Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

    I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

    Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

    When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

    They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

    Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

  • How can I combine all pages of the site to a new page of the site?

    Hello

    I use Dreamweaver cs4 on a windows pc. I have 12 pages of my site with a spry vertical navigation bar. Whenever I create a new page I then add that to the spry navigation bar. All other pages do not show this new page in the navigation bar. Thus, the spry NAV. must be site wide update. Is it possible to update the spry navigation bar site wide in a few clicks? Is there an easy way of all the other page a link to this new page? I have a rendering template, but all pages on my site are now detached from this model. Whenever I saved the template in an html file to create a new page in the navigation bar was the word inside template, so I just deleted it out of the code. As you can probably I'm pretty new to dreamweaver so any help will be greatly appreciated to say the least. I checked everywhere wherever I can think of for the answer

    Thank you for taking the time to help, dluthier

    Is it possible to update the spry navigation bar site wide in a few clicks? Is there an easy way of all the other page a link to this new page?

    Yes, there are ways to have all the pages to be updated when you make changes to a navigation bar.  However, the way you describe the situation you currently do it all manually.

    The easiest way to update a navigation bar:

    1. the use of serverside includes: this is a basic tutorial explaining what is a SSI and how it's done.

    http://bignosebird.com/SSI.shtml

    2. the other is the use of models - that you tried.

    I have a rendering template, but all pages on my site are now detached from this model. Whenever I saved the template to a file html to create a new page in the navigation bar was the word inside template, so I just deleted it out of the code

    That's where you went wrong, you save the template with a new name, and save it as an html file.  You must use: Create New > model.  This way, you create a new page of the master model and save it in the root of your site - and this is what is called a "page of the child".

    Using DW templates:

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/Dreamweaver/templates.html

    The differences between the use of SSIs and DWTs (template file):

    With a SSI file, you make changes to the file and all the pages, the inclusion of which will update automatically and you need only download a SSI whenever you make a page.

    If you use a model, whenever you make a change, once again all children pages are updated, but you need to download * all * changed pages.

    I hope this helps.
