Format external hard drive for "Photos"?

• Visualization of images on external hard drive via Photos app

  Is it possible to view photos stored on an external hard drive through Photos app?  I want to use the slide show feature but don't want to import them on my mac every time I want to see photos of old (and consequently taken disk space).

  I just saw that when I import a picture in the Photos app, each image takes place twice the amount of space on my drive hard because it "copy of the original file.  Rather than using a reference library, which, according to other threads, is ill advised, I had to use an external hard drive for storing images instead.

  Photos is not a photo viewer - is a Photo Manager and deals only with photos that have been imported into its library - you can have your library on an external hard drive or a second library on an EHD or you can use a third party Slideshow software

• How to get personal files on a backup external hard drive for windows 7

  How to get files from a backup external hard drive for windows 7 pro. ? I DON'T WANT TO RESTORE WINDOWS 7, JUST MY PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS.    TO THANK THE TAXI 53 DRIVER

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

  If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

  I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

• External hard drive for source files

  Windows 7. Body CC x 2014

  I would like to set up a or external hard drives for source files so that I can change my laptop on the location of a specific project (that is to say, I can't use my office)

  What is the best solution?

  * USB 3 SSD

  * USB 3 at 7200 RPM hard drive

  Can I use two external USB 3 drives?

  Can I quote the external drive so that I have no file linking issues?  IE the volume name remains the same whenever I have to reconnect to it?

  * I ask here first of all because I have to buy the appropriate disks until I can test anything.

  Thanx.

  USB3 for SSD is the fastest solution. Set both computers to use the same drive letter of the volume on the port USB3, for example of letter P for portable in disk management. For a second port USB3, you can use a different volume drive letter.

  Simple steps:

  1. Format the drive and give a volume name.
  2. In disk management, assign a drive letter, for example P.
  3. Connect the drive to another computer and repeat step 2 here.

  The volume name remains unchanged and the drive letter remains the same on both computers.

• I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

  Hello

  So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

  I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

  Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

  This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

  

  You have not indicated how you have saved, if you've used Time Machine then you do things the hard way and you'll find very difficult TM. Please use the Time Machine interface to locate your saved data. You can benefit from the research on:

• Format external hard drive

  Hey guys
  I used an old hard drive from the laptop to create a usb key recovery for a netbook without a disk drive.
  How do I now the format of the hard drive for use again as it is no longer present on my pc, if I set to boot from it, it get up she just try to run recovery which was copied on it used.

  shig1,
  If the only thing on the external drive is recovering files to the netbook, then chances are that your PC is not going to see this player.  The two computers to the same operating system or are they different?  If you don't need the files on the external hard drive recovery and see it the netbook, you may need to format it on the netbook so then the PC should see it.  But if you need to copy the files of recovery out there, I don't know what to tell you.  I would recommend to put these files on the hard drive of the netbook and get an external optical drive that you can make a CD or a DVD backup recovery files.  The two computers are linked by chance?  You can connect and use the transfer tool to copy the files from recovery on your PC, so you can burn it to a CD and then you could be formatted externally.

  Transfer files and settings from another computer

• Windows could not complete the format (external hard drive)

  I use windows 7 64 bit and my external hard drive crashed and has converted his car to RAW format rather than NTFS

  I tried to solve the problem by changing the name of 'L' discs to other letters and retry the format without success

  I also tried to use the disk management format and changed to an optimal device

  And also I tried using diskpart.exe

  This has not just to reformat the drive, so I can use it I do not have the information about this because it's still all on my computer any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

  Hello
   
  
  could a. you give us the exact error message and the error code, if any?
  b. what commands did you tried the diskpart utility?
  c. I recommend to do the full format rather than the quick and check.
  d. also try to format the drive on another computer and check.
  
  I recommend you to use the clean command to remove and format all partitions on the external hard drive and check. See the article below for more information.

• need help syncing replacement of the external hard drive for Lightroom

  Hello Lightroom community.

  I've exhausted my research and am now seeking help. Please direct me to this information in the forum if it exists. Also, I am a novice and while I am learning lightroom quickly with all my time spent in forums and online videos, I am limited in my understanding of how it all works.

  Problem: I store my Lightroom Catalog and backups on my portable MacBook Pro. I use two external hard drives to store all my images and store my time machine backups. My external hard drive (1-hand) and my external hard drive (2-Back-up) were also well synchronized with the catalog and recognized by lightroom when I edited the pictures. I mainly used the DHM 1-hand when I edited, especially when I went. Last month, my main 1 - EHD died and was unrecoverable. I got lucky that my backup drive (DHM 2-back-up) has always had the images and changes.

  In order to quickly save my 'JEP 2-back-up"to a new 'Hand' work external hard drive replacement, I dragged and dropped the backup disk images to the new"Main"drive so that I can sleep at night. This gave me the peace of mind that all of my images and backups time machine were now on two disks again. (Note: the new ' hand ' disk has a different name. ") Is this important?)

  How can I get Lightroom to recognize and sync with my new drive and photos? Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to restart the process from the beginning? If so, where should I start? I'm afraid to attempt without some advice/suggestions from the experts.

  Thank you for any information, you can pass it along! Please let me know what I can provide additional information.

  Side note: when I looked to import the images of the new 'Hand' DHM - although this would make duplicates-Lightroom recognized that there are duplicates. So, where is the missing link?

  If you can rename the new primary drive to match exactly the name of the previous main drive, that should correct the problem.

  If this is not the case, then you want to open your Lightroom Catalog and then reconnect the top-level folder that contains your pictures by right-clicking on this top-level folder and then to find Missing folder pointing Lightroom on the equivalent top level on your new drive main folder. The details are described here (see Figure 4): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Side note: re-import never corrects this problem, it only makes it worse. Never use to reimport into solution in Lightroom.

• large external hard drive for editing fcpx

  Hi, a question of two parts:

  1. I was wondering how people manage their media: is it recommended to store the middle on an external hard drive and the reference to it? Or are the libraries & projects also stored on an external drive?

  2. I have about 4 TB of video and want to buy a large external hard drive that is fast enough for 4 k video editing (with proxy or optimized media, single stream, nothing too fancy etc.). I just bought the new iMac 5 k which has connections thunderbolt.

  I read a lot about love at first sight vs. speed USB3, disk hard drive gears, RAIDs etc but am not the wisest. I don't want to it is an exaggeration either.

  It would be good enough: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BBZ4Q0C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8 & psc = 1 & smid = A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

  Or is it better to use for backup and should I go for the version of TB: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FIYJ7LG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8 & psc = 1 & smid = A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

  Or a USB3 would be pretty quick with a double disc is RAID0? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Desktop-External-Drive-WDBLWE0080JCH-EESN/dp/B00L9 0DX04/ref = pd_sim_147_4? ie = UTF8 & PSC = 1 & refRID = YFMN75KFN652T20XB40B

  Price differences are pretty extreme and I know too how much of a real difference it would make to my editing.

  I have trouble with my 2010 macbook pro and a portable external hard drive 5400 RPM so would avoid this situation.

  Thanks in advance!

  1 - Yes, always put libraries and media on a second fast drive.  Video/audio "data streaming" can bog down the stream of data required by the operating system and the app themselves.  There is limited bandwidth between the CPU and hard drives, as your Internet connection.

  RIAD 0 is quite obsolete, stay away from him.  USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt are good enough for 4K editing.  RAID is faster than the single SSD (same).  Spins disks should always be 7200 RPM, even the system drive.  5400 is far too slow.  If you go with RAID, get a 4th unit of Bay, with 7200 RPM drives in a RAID 5 configuration.  MacSales.com has excellent products.  As promises (their RAIDS of you bolt P2 are the fastest on the market) and other well known brands.  I was never a fan of the product line of My Book.
