Finder or by default in the view extended folder on hard drive external

I'm trying to understand why, when I open an external window of Finder on my hard drive, it always expands to display a specific folder I used months ago. I do not know Finder using the default views and I can't determine how to reset back to the view of the root of the drive.

Thank you.

Hi leftysrevenge!

I can certainly understand not wanting the Finder of an external drive window to keep opening to a folder that has been used months ago because I wouldn't mine to display that way either.  No worries, there are a few steps here to get the default view has changed on this issue.  Follow these steps here and he should be able to be changed for this external drive:

Open the Finder, click Display > Display Options > a window will appear to select your display preferences, make your selection here > and if possible use the button "Use as default" to maintain this point of view.

The "Use as Defaults" button may be grey, if the format of the external drive is not OS X Extended.

Enjoy your day!

    I am on an iMac plus old (2008), El Capitan running and I want to copy all my pictures and videos in Photos on an external hard drive just in case of death of my office.  Can I do that and still keep my library of photos on my Mac and use it as usual? If so, how do I?

    Thank you

    First, make sure that the drive is formatted as shown in this screenshot:

    Then just drag the module external library of Photos of your folder on the hard drive and let the Finder copy it.

    Do you have a backup in place strategy?  If this isn't the case, you should, because at some point, you will lose the files of your boot drive either by accident or in a car accident.  It's inevitable.  Easier to implement backup system is with Time Machine, which comes with every Mac.  Here's how to set up: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  • Lightroom is showing corrupted files and an "end of file unexpected has occurred" when the original photo in my hard drive external is fine.

    The corrupted file is coming with the lines, colors and split into two or three. Is there something I can do to fix this? It's enough to the point where I want to uninstall it, its happening too often boring! Here are pictures of work I can't go back and reshoot.

    It is very probably a clerical error somewhere, it could be the card unit photo, card reader or USB cable or USB port, hard drive, or even computer memory. I suggest try different hardware to transfer photos in Lightroom to see if the problem is the card reader or cable USB or USB port, or hard drive. If you have access to another computer, I would transfer the file to the other computer to see if it has the same problems in Lightroom on the other computer.

    You can buy this part in many online shops. You'll need one that is compatible with 2.5 SATA HDD.

  • How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

    How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
    Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

    How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

    Any correction, automated for this?

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

    Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

  • Discover the usb hub and my hard drive speed.

    I would like to ask in this forum. I have a Seagate 1 TB external hard drive backup more USB 3.0. First when I bought the transfer speed still very well and I don't worry. After a few months, my data put in also increased as much time to something else as long as it is important to keep. The problem is that my hard drive now transfer data as slow as a snail. There just get 1 Mbps of transfer speed (only in my laptop, in all the hub in my laptop). When I plug it into another computer, it's fine running at 20 and 40 MB/s as normally as USB 2.0 wired hub. Another hard drive that plugged into my laptop works very well, so I guess that only my hard drive is never play well with my laptop, so that they begin to work ppliquee. I searched many tutorials that help me to solve the problem, but no one worked for me.

    Is it possible to solve my problem as something to change or update?

    I can't blame time my hard drive or my laptop because they are good, but if they linked together they do not work normally.
    I hope that all who read this can make suggestion or give a way to solve it. Thank you very much...
