• can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

  I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

  MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

  extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

  1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

  2. Yes, it is.

• Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

  I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

  Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

  When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

  They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

  Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

• Library of photos on external hard drive: not possible repair

  Hello world

  Today, when I tried to open my library of Photos, Photos crashed. After I have reopened, Photos asked that the library must be repaired. I started who, but after 2%, Photos crashed with "an unexpected error has occurred." A restart does not solve this problem. I still can't view the contents of the library package.

  I saw on messages earlier (for example, 10.10.3 Photos can not repair permissions), the output of this Terminal command can reveal the underlying error:

  find ~ $TMPDIR...------(-+ flags sappnd, uappnd, schg, uchg o! - user $UID o! - perm-600 o - acl-) 2 >/dev/null | WC-l

  Outputs this line in my case: 4471

  Please note that I'm storing my photo library, including all images imported into a separate external hard drive connected via USB.

  So perhaps the command above (where I'm not sure what it does) may not be to give the required output to track down the problem.

  Following the crash of the pictures, here is the output of the Console:

  I'm not quite desperate, because I'm having several backups of the library (only a few images are not yet backed up). However, also in the interest of others less fortunate that me regarding backups, I would like to know

  (1.) what is the cause of this unexpected behavior

  (2.) what can be done to remedy this.

  Thank you very much in advance, any help is appreciated.

  How the EHD are formatted?  It must be formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) preferable with the property set to be ignored:

• Library of photos on external hard drive does not open

  So, I recently backed up my 2012 macbook pro on an external hard drive using time machine and wiped the computer. The hard drive shows that my old hard drive was saved (there ~ used 400GB the 1 TB), however when I try to open my photo library, it tells me that files cannot be saved? I was wondering if there's another way to open these files in addition to using pictures? the file says it's big 235 GB so I know that my photos and videos are out there. If someone could help me that would be great! The last 5 years of my life are in this file. (,:

  You cannot open a Time Machine backup of the library directly. You must first restore somewhere.

  Time Machine is a backup tool, not a tool for archiving. It gives you a window of time retrieve data that has been lost in the backup source. You can't count on it to keep the files you want to keep indefinitely. All these files should be saved with the rest of your original data. The files that you delete from the source volumes will be finally removed from backups, after a variable delay which depends on your usage model and the size of the backup volume.

• Photos library not ' seen on external hard drive

  Hi all, I just Lightroom and I don't really know how to use it / what to do.

  I have my external library of Photos on a hard drive. When I import anything, it just goes right to that and obviously pictures will not open when it is not connected, so I know that all is well in this aspect, however...

  When I open Lightroom and watch my G drive to import from, there is nothing there...

  Help, please

  Please show us a screenshot of what you ask in the topic.

  Is the G drive that you are talking about the drive letter or name of the manufacturer of the drive?

  You use a Mac or a Windows PC?

  If a Mac and you have used the Photos included on a Mac app you cannot directly import from the storage of photo images in LR.

• How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

  How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

  Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

  With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

  Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

• I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

  I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

  Hello Honduras1,

  Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

• I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.

  I get the 0x8078012D error code when I run the Windows backup on an external hard drive.  I have Windows 7 Professional.  That suggests this error code is the problem and how can I solve the problem?

  For people who read this thread, I offer the following information.  I solved the problem by noticing that the problem could have been caused, when the system image is created.  So I did a backup without creating the system image and backup is complete without error.

  Then I used the backup program to create a system image.  This time error (0x8007045D) was displayed.   The error report says "the operation failed for a device error encountered with the source or the destination. If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then try again using. »

  So I ran chkdsk/r, and this program is a bad sector on the hard drive of my computer and fixed the error.  It took about an hour to run the program.  Now, the image of the system and the backup of data file work again.

  So I think that the main cause of error (0x8078012D) is deborahgarbe of i/o error (0x8007045D).  So if you get the first error code you can search for fixes for the second error code fix the root cause.

  The external drive has the same drive letter on the new computer as it did when it was used on the other computer?

  Where are the video preview and the old led, Audio preview files compared to new? See Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch discs?

  Are all the place where is the file... messages just to render files? If all are for rendering files, what happens if you click ignore for their

• How can I move the internal hard drive containing the LR catalog to become external hard drive?

  I'm upgrading to a new computer.  With this approach, I took the hard drive 1 TB "internal" hard with my LR catalog and pictures from my old computer and hooked up as a hard drive on the new computer.   My next step is to load CC Lightroom on the internal drive of the new computer and remove the software from the old hard drive, which is now just a disk storage external photo. 

  Then, the tricky part where I need help.  How LR to recognize the existing catalog on what is now the external hard drive?

  Thank you

  As DJ says, double-click the catalog on the external hard drive.

  Or, in the menu of LR, / file/open/and navigate on the external drive.

  Whatever it is, after the opening of the catalog, you will need to go to the library, Panel folders module and 'find missing' on each top-level to tell LR you folders, move the folders on the external drive.

• How to change the location of the folder to iCloud on external hard drive OSX

  Hi, I have a small hard drive (128 ssd) I'd like to archive my photos in the ICloud drive. Currently I store in my external drive usb, but if I copy them to the folder of the iCloud drive it will consume my internal space I want to stay free. Ideally, would be to have iCloud drive linked to the file in the external hard drive, so he would be sure space me ssd.  I can't find any option in system to change his circumstances as I can with the photo library.

  There is no option
