How or why my computer reassign letters of my dvd player and my external hard drive?

I can't reconnect to the files in my photoshop elements program because the drive letters have been reassigned.  Any idea what caused this?  I did not notice when it happened, so don't remember is not the circumstances that may have it.

Another device was probably used this drive letter when disconnected, you can change it back:

If another device is using the drive letter, first change this device.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • 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.

  • computer a824n of office doesn't start with an external hard drive 2T connected.

    My HP Pavilion a824n desktop computer won't start with my new external hard drive 2T connected via a USB port.  The computer stops on the first screen, which I think is the Intel screen, with options for press ESC, F1, F10.  But these keys do nothing.  The only way out is to press the power button until the computer turns off.

    If I disconnect the external drive before turning the power on, the computer starts normally, the internal hard drive.  After that, I can connect from the outside and it works correctly, so I don't think that there is a defect in it.

    I can get into the screen of the BIOS settings to start with the external drive disconnected and by pressing the F8 key.  But the BIOS shows adequate priority, with the hard drive screen internal first, second DVD, third CD.  The internal hard drive is correctly identified by the model number and the new external drive is not at all (because I started without the connected external.)

    My guess is that when I start with connected externally, BIOS thinks it's the hard drive, it is supposed to boot from.  How can I get the machine to boot from the internal drive?

    Your guess is correct. The hard part is that I'm not sure of an exact solution I've seen this be something difficult to solve.

    Have you tried to update the firmware of an external drive?

    Have you updated your PC BIOS? If you are still running XP, I think that it is the update to the BIOS of your PC:

  • How to print a list of the movies that I have on an external hard drive

    I have my iTunes on an external hard drive.  I would like to print a list of the movies.  I tried 'print' which causes quicktime and iTunes to open. I tried "select all", "copy", then paste in the text change which causes a spinning endless ball and the eventual system crash.  I guess she's trying to print the actual movies rather than on the list.  Any ideas how to create a list of the contents of a disc and then print this list?  I use OS X on a macbook pro 10.11.5.

    You a run this in Terminal and it will display the names of files in a file on your desktop.

    LS path/to/file > > ~/Desktop/Movies.txt

    Replace the full path to the folder path/to/folder.

  • Why don't my raw in iphoto files transfer on an external hard drive in the form of successfully raw files?

    Hello

    I use a mac in mid-2007, 10.7.5 mini system. I use iPhoto for my photo files only. I recently shot a family, the RAW files. When you try to transfer these RAW files and keep them in the form of RAW files on an external hard drive, the files themselves simply to the jpg. did someone knows how I can get these RAW files off my hard drive to an external hard drive, but keep them RAW and their original size? Thanks much for any guidance you may have. -bethsongs

    TO export RAW files you select them in iPhoto and export (menu, file == > export) using the type is an original option - see export from iPhoto for more details on the options

    as to get them off you primary drive - you can't, unless you remove them form iPhoto and empty iPhoto trash and trash system - iPHoto must always have access to the original to work

  • How can I move all my images Lightroom 5 25 000 since an external hard drive on an internal drive (ssd) on a mac?

    I have all my image files from Lightroom (LR) on an external hard drive that is complete and has been too slow in use.

    I want to keep my existing LR but catalog to move ALL images, etc. on my laptop with ssd quick nice previews.

    How?

    Any suggestions?

    This should be really basic information but I searched through pages and pages of comments, tutorials, videos, books, but doomed if I see a relevant clear explanation anywhere!

    I copied all the folder containing everything for my portable drive.

    But when I opened LR I get no option to locate images, folder etc.

    When I open the new folder on my laptop drive I can see all the content but .lrcat items are not selectable.

    What I am doing wrong?

    The process should be:

    Move photos in their existing folder structure to the new hard drive.

    Move the catalog as well as the catalogname Previews.lrdata folder settings folder in a folder on the new hard drive.

    Double-click the catalogname.lrcat file to open it in LR.

    Right-click on the files in LR-library level and make a lack of find file (or whatever the phrase is) and LR to say where is the folder is now on the new hard drive.

    You say there is no option to find missing in LR library files when you right click on one of the folders in the left panel?

  • 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?

    To identify the problem, try emptying the trash from the PC and the external hard drive. In addition, check the type of files you want to back up. Make sure that the file format is supported by your external hard drive. It would be better to list the model of your external hard drive to your answer.
