• How to import bookmarks from an external hard drive?

  I exported my favorites from firefox on an external hard drive. Now I have a new laptop, but do not know how to transfer these back to firefox bookmarks.

  It is no different to import from a hard drive on your own machine. The external hard drive has a drive letter on the same way as a HD internal.

  Just use the reverse procedure, you made to export the file i.e. choose "Import HTML" instead of "export HTML".

  If you saved it in. JSON format, then choose 'Restore' in the menu "import and backup" instead.

• How can I save my backup external hard drive?

  I have a La Cie 4 to external hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro. How do I backup my external hard drive (just in case ceases to work properly or at all)?

  You use this drive as a backup Time Machine?

  You can connect as a second external hard drive and configure Time Machine to use this drive as well. Then Time Machine are displayed alternating hourly between readers. So when one of those falling down, you will have a backup that is more than an hour old.

• How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

  Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

  so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

  If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

  thnx

  The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

  Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

  What do you see when you check the Format?

• How to move files from the external hard drive to the keywords WITH main drive?

  On a recent trip, I have uploaded thousands of images on an external hard drive that I used with my laptop. I keyworded and edited these files on the road.

  Back home, I want to move the files (keywords and all) to my permanent LR library that resides on a different hard drive. How can I do this transfer without losing the keywords?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Jessica,.

  There seems to be a confusion of terms here: the catalog is where LR stores all of its information (that your designated as LR library in your original post).

  While you were on the road, did you use LR to add keywords to photos, or have you used another tool? If you have used LR, you already have a catalog on the laptop, which you can then import into your main LR catalog (using import to catalogue option in the file menu). Let us know if you get stuck anywhere.

• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

• TM is not back up My external hard drive - or is it?

  Hey all:

  I have a MBP late 2011 under OS X 10.10.5.  I use an external hard drive with a partition called TM1 for time machine and I also have an external drive, called "Movie_Storage" which is basically just for iMovie infinity that I don't have the space on my drive internal.

  I'm "seeding" a new database of time machine on a new drive and he completed the first backup of the internal drive without any problems.  I then plugged the disc "Movie_Storage" and confirmed that this disk is NOT in the list of exceptions in the TM preferences pane.  I then let him back up again.  There is a lot of data on that drive, so it took several hours to complete, but there, apparently without any problem.

  Now that everything is done, open the drop down at the top and click on "enter Time Machine".  In the tree on the left, the "Movie_Storage" drive appears as it should.  To test things, I then go out TM, eject "Movie_Storage" and enter again TM.  I scrolling backwards in time to make sure that I am actually in a backup.  The "Movie_Storage" no longer appears in the tree.

  So I open a Finder window and navigate in the TM database.  When I'm in a backup, indeed, there is a folder called "Movie_Storage", and its size corresponds to the size of the content of the "Movie_Storage" (about 800 GB) disc.  Yet, I can't navigate it in the interface of TM if the drive is not connected.  Why not?

  Of course, if the original drive "Movie_Storage" dies, I will seek to restore my backup TM on a new drive.  If I can't see it in TM without the original disk is connected, it is a problem.  Advice?

  Thank you!

  The TM interface requires the thus mounted drive you can choose files to restore. You cannot select files from the TM drive itself in the interface of TM.

  You can view the files manually in the finder to see, so you know they are there. You can mount the external hard drive and test it in disk utility to see if you can select restore from.

• How to restore my backup on external hard drive system

  I did a windows image backup of my Vista system on a Seagate external hard drive. Now I want to restore my system from the backup, but restore in control panel procedures does not recognize the files. Version of Vista professional, Service Pack 2. I tried Virtual PC, and vhd mounting procedures.

  Hello

  read this tutorial on how to do

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.

  etc.

  Hello

  ·        Have you tried the same files and backup folder in one different location (another drive or media)?

  You can check if there are errors listed in Event Viewer related to backup is not made. To open Event Viewer, follow the link below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  You can also try to disable the security software and then try to run the backup utility and check if that helps.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• How to copy a catalog of external hard drive to the hard drive of the computer to use smart insights not connected to the external hard drive?

  I am very new to LR5. I put LR5 in place so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I discovered that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 can't find my catalog, therefore, I can't do any editing in intelligent insights, unless it is connected to an external hard drive. How can I fix this so that I can edit photos without being connected to an external hard drive. Is it possible to copy the catalog out of the hard disk on the computer's hard drive or I have to re-establish a new catalog using LR5? Must the catalog always be loaded onto the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

  Yes that's correct. The LR catalog must be on the computer's internal drive. Then when you have smart previews activated you can change the image without going through the reader that they are connected. When you connect this drive images will be updated.

  Simply COPY these 4 folders on your internal drive in a folder called Lightroom catalog that you create. Then open LR and go on the file menu point and select open catalog. Navigate to the folder you created called catalog in Lightroom and select the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5 file and click Open. Once restart Lightroom open change preferences, > preferences, and under the general tab, in the catalog default section make sure that "when starting to use this catalogue:" listings in the area where you copied the files. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever, have created it this folder/that folder name/Lightroom catalog.lrcat 5.
