• 1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure. do backup - how can I move my files when I get a new hard drive?

  Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

  Hello

  There are different ways to do

  and these methods depend on your hard drive work

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  link below is an example of this:

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

  also to put your machine how you bought:

  1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  You can move all your documents without problem, but not your
  installed programs. This is because there are a lot of references, in the
  Registry and elsewhere in \Windows, where programs are.

  There are a few third party programs that can get to those
  references and supposedly change them for you, but my experience
  try these programs is that none of them are perfect and use one of
  them is likely to create problems with some programs.

  Therefore, it is best to reinstall programs.

  Mission accomplished. While waiting for your response. I found an article that mentions a copy/paste the following code from the old to the new pref.js pref.js:

  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. (OutlookExpressAddressBoo.position', 0);
  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.description', 'Outlook Express Address Book');
  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. (OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.dirType', 2);
  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.filename', "impab - 1.mab");
  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.description', 'Outlook Express Address Book');
  user_pref ("ldap_2.servers. (OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.dirType', 2);

• How can I the creative cloud Installer and apps install on another drive other than my main C drive?

  I struggled to find out how I can put the applications installation and adobe on one other drive other than my C drive. Please help me. My C drive becomes too full.

  The CC itself application will always install on the root of the system drive, as well as several shared components. Once the CC application has been installed, you can choose a different location for the main installers in the application settings.

• How can I save a particular set of photos on an external drive. NEF files as well as everything I've done for them in Lightroom?

  Apologies in advance if this is a dead-easy question or one that has been answered countless times in the past.

  When I get back from a trip, I load all the photos of the trip in Lightroom, create a collection out of them, the best of the Pavilion, and treat them in the module 'development '. If I want to save these photos up to an external drive (most likely a USB key), I know that I can simply drag the. Files NAVE from the Finder to the drive icon, but who copies only the files raw, not the work I did on them in Lightroom. Is it a simple and direct way to choose a particular collection of photos into Lightroom and export it to an external drive, including the raw files and any relevant changes for them ('sidecar files"?)? Or do I need to do this in several steps, as by exporting this collection as a catalog separately by copying the raw files?

  I realize that I could do a back-up Time Capsule of the whole machine - and I do on a regular basis, but I want to have quick access to a back-up of only pictures of a particular trip.

  My installation includes Nikon cameras (so the ".") "NAVE" reference above), a fairly new iMac and Lightroom 5.7.

  In its default configuration, Lightroom saves only the changes in the catalog. If you selected the option to save the changes to XMP so there will be files XMP sidecar to accompany each raw file that you worked on in Lightroom. If you have not activated this option, you can select all of the images and do a 'Save to File metadata"in the menu picture. Just be aware that these changes will be visible in other Adobe software. There isn't any method of writing changes directly in a raw file. But if you back up your files on a flashdrive and then make sure that you back up your catalog on a regular basis, you should be relatively safe.

• How can I move specific files according to date to a new drive and recreate the folders that they were originally in?

  I would like to take I have saved a search to sort by date and then move them to another drive and also preserve or recreate specific subfolders, in that they were originally of specific files. How do I do that? I found an and only a third party program which claims to work with the copy of the files and other. It is called "Copywhiz" but I don't think that it has this ability account required from what I've seen of him. I looked up information about the xcopy command, but his date setting allows only a specific date, not a date range. What is the best way to do it if possible? Otherwise I'll have to go through the TEDIOUS process of your time to copy all the folder and its subfolders to the other drive, looking all over again for a date range and delete these files and not in the range of dates, I want to be in the files in specific folders. I hope it is clear to you because I have no other way to explain. The specific details of the project are that I have a bunch of psd files in many subfolders based on the object. Of these files, I want those who are previous to the year 2009. I want to have the records that those displaced persons files were to be preserved in their new location. Essentially, I want to replicate the folder structure that only selected files to the new drive.

  I could get this link to work, so I downloaded from http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RoboCopy-Download-87790.html.

  I tried it and it worked and it was relatively simple.  He did the directory and the structure of the subdirectories as well.

  In my view, is the command you would use in command prompt:

  ROBOCOPY sourcedirectory *.psd /E MINAGE:20081231 destinatiiondirectory

  I think that's all there is to it.  It worked for me when I did something similar with all .doc files in the My Documents folder.

  WOW!  It was fairly easy and well obviously the solution.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

  I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

  Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

  However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

  No idea why, or how I can get around this?

  This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

  First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

  Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

  All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
  Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

  You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

  Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

  RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public
  
  After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

  Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

  for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

  Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
  I hope this helps.

• How can I protect he'S catalogs when installing software for SSD drive & 2nd data disc

  I know that this has been answered a thousand times... but when I search, I find that a 1 000 answers and none relate exactly to my question...

  I have a laptop

  I have a technician install a 1 TB Solid State Drive adjacent to the existing "spin drive" provided with the laptop (1 TB)

  I'm having the existing drive spin "wiped clean" and reformatted

  I him have to put all THE SOFTWARE, including 10 Windows on the SSD drive

  CC - Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop will operate the SSD

  My 'current' workflow about 6 weeks of photography is retained on the SSD for faster treatment

  These last about 6 to 8 months of photography will be kept on the existing "spin drive" came with the computer.

  Previous work will be kept on a 3 TB external storage drive

  I'm dragging 633 GB of photos of my 'drive spin' on my drive external hard to ensure the guard with the upgrade is performed.

  ...........................

  And here is my fight...  I don't know enough about Adobe CC to make sure that I have all my files protect.       I know that I have several catalogs, but the drop-down list on the menu (at the signing in LR) shows about 8-10 choice and I'm only using 4 or 5!

  How Lightroom find my Photos after I drag them back to the newly - reformatted "spin drive?   I know how to find a lost file manually... So should I do hundreds of records, I have?

  Where my LR catalog folder will be stored?   Right now it is in my pictures folder.   It will be there if the Adobe program resides in the SSD?

  I have more questions... but that's enough for now...

  Thank you

  John

  First of all, your CPU is old and slow by today's standards, and clearly a faster CPU would do a faster job of making these backups.

  In the second place, it is a very large catalog file, 9.2 GB. (Are you sure that you watched the .lrcat file and not the amount of space occupied by the photos?) Yes, you are supposed to use Windows Explorer to find the size of the. LRCAT file. For comparison, my catalog with almost 30 000 images is only 1.75 GB. All the brushing, you did apparently exploded the size of your catalog.

  You can reduce the size of the catalog file by clearing the history on each photo (this leaves the changes in place but you will be able to go back in history and see the sequence of steps that you used). I'm not aware of a way to do bulk on each photo, but in the back of my mind, I think that this has been discussed in this forum and you might want to search for.

  The last thing you might consider of doing backups until you go to sleep. Just leave Lightroom open until you go to bed, then close and let the process of backup with happiness.

  So, that's all that I can think of to make this faster process right now (other that to split the catalog file, which has many disadvantages). Faster processor, remove the story and let Lightroom its backups when you sleep.

• Back Up Lightroom Catalog and pictures on an external drive.

  I'm curious to know why Adobe does not provide a solution to quick and easy backup on an external HD, cloud or even a DVD. Currently the options I am aware of is when you import, you can choose to make a copy, but my guess is that other changes to these files reflect the copy you made at the time of import. When closing the program that the backup appears to only copy the data of the catalogue and not pictures and while it's beautiful... is not good enough.

  But it's a part of what can make your OS, and that's what can make many many third-party utilities.

  the history of Lightroom indicates that developers of Lightroom and the team do not want to spend time to reproduce some BONES or the features of the third-party backup utility. Some people have been crying out for a Lightroom with a browser of files (instead of Lightroom as a database) from day 1, and so far, we see no sign that Lightroom will never receive the functionality of a file browser. I consider the request to add photo backup to be of the same category, something that I'm skeptical that Adobe will never.

• How can I move photos & video library?

  How can I move a few photos and some video clips from one library to another library?

  I created 2 libraries and want to better organize my photos and videos by moving a selection of photos and videos of the first library in my second library.

  How can I do this? Please helppppp

  Photos has no tool to move photos between libraries.

  Do it manually by exporting pictures of the first library with "file > export > export original unmodified" and then import export photos and videos of the other library.  After you have verified that they mattered much, remove them from the original library.

  Move photos between libraries is easier with PowerPhotos.  Check it out at PowerPhotos ( software of Fat Cat-PowerPhotos)

  There is a problem, however.  You cannot move, it publishes versions between librarues, so that the changes can be reversed.  The transfer will be frozen. You can move only the edited versions or original, or both, but not as a pair of the original and the version.

• How can I increase the size of my partition on the C drive?

  I am constantly running out of space on drive C, I have tons of space on my D drive partition. How can I move the partition to increase space on my C drive?

  Hello

  By "tons" of space on your partition D:, what size does this mean?

  D: partition, if 5-15GBs is normally the recovery partition, except on a few machines, and should not be bothered with.

  Acer for example on the previous models used D: as a data partition, which is OK to change.

  To extend C: into the space where D: is currently > back up data on D: > and then delete D: > D: becomes now allocated space > extend C: into the space where was D:.

  Here is a tutorial on how to do it:

• My catalog is created in the right folder.  How can I move it?

  When I was importing files that I have somehow created a catalog on my hard drive, and it does not recognize that I had already created on my external hard drive.  I want to use that on my exteranl drive, because that's what I use so I can move between my laptop and my desktop computer. How can I move files in lightroom?

  It would seem that move the new catalog is NOT what you need.

  It seems to be

  -import the data of the catalog wrong right (external drive) via the option "import the catalog.

  or

  -throw the new catalog and import the images in the correct catalog on the external hard drive.
