How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

Thank you!

A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to export pictures from a sd card to lightroom and and external hard drive at the same time

    Hello

    Is it possible that I can export my photos from my lightroom cameras sd card and an external hard drive at the same time so I have pictures original/master in both places

    Thanks in advance

    Tracey

    Hi Robert!

    Looks like you want to make a backup during import. If this is the case, you can designate a different location for a second copy when importing.

    1. Check the mark a second copy of box in the management of the files Panel and choose your external drive in the menu drop-down
    2. Then you set regular destination of Lightroom in the Destination panel.

    However, if you mean that you want in the foreground images in Lightroom, but have them physically located on an external drive, then all you need to do is choose this drive in the Destination panel. Lightroom Catalog can be on a different drive.

    I find it useful, however, to use the automatic backup in file management Panel in case.

  • How to export data to excel that has 2 tables with the same number of columns and the column names?

    Hi everyone, yet once landed upward with a problem.

    After trying many things to myself, finally decided to post here...

    I created a form in form builder 6i in which clicking on a button, the data gets exported to the excel sheet.

    It works very well with a single table. The problem now is that I cannot do the same with 2 tables.

    Because the tables have the same number of columns and the columns names.

    Here are the 2 tables with column names:

    Table-1 (MONTHLY_PART_1) Table-2 (MONTHLY_PART_2)
    SL_NOSL_NO
    MODELMODEL
    END_DATEEND_DATE
    U-1U-1
    U-2U-2
    U-4U-4
    ..................
    ..................
    U-20U-20
    U-25U-25

    Given that the tables have the same column names, I get the following error :

    402 error at line 103, column 4

    required aliases in the SELECT list of the slider to avoid duplicate column names.

    So how to export data to excel that has 2 tables with the same number of columns and the column names?

    Should I paste the code? Should I publish this query in 'SQL and PL/SQL ' Forum?

    Help me with this please.

    Thank you.

    Wait a second... is this a kind of House of partitioning? Shouldn't it is a union of two tables instead a join?

    see you soon

  • How to copy my photos on an external hard drive?

    I'm trying to move some of my photos on my Mac on my external hard drive. So far, I've tried exporting but it fails everytime and I read on the internet, each site help and can not understand one of them.

    I've only had my Mac a couple of weeks after laptops Windows all my life and it's really frustrating that one is as simple as copy and paste pictures of their folder on my hard drive!

    So please can someone give me simple instructions on how to get my pictures on my hard drive?

    How did the external hard drive formatted and connected to your Mac? It must be formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) with the property set to be ignored.

    Also what system version are you running under which version of Photos?

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • External hard drive with Windows NT File System (NTFS) Format

    I bought an external hard drive Samsung M3 about a year (1 to). I used a lot for about 3 months on my mac and then left it stored until I need it again. I then tried to use it today and for some reason, the format converted to Windows NT (NTFS) file system. Looking at other forums, the only way to change what has been suggested is to erase and format it in NTFS for Mac. However, I have 500 GB of data on what I don't want to erase. Does anyone have any suggestions, or any reason that the format has changed all of a sudden, do my hard drive now ReadOnly cannot think?

    1. the format has not changed

    2. There is no such format NTFS for Mac

  • Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

    Original title: HD crashed.

    I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • In iMovie 9.0.4 How can I move events to an external hard drive?

    Note: I am writing this issue on behalf of my daughter, who is an old iMac running 10.6.8.   His version of iMovie is 9.0.4.

    She has about 50 GB, events which occupies about one-third of its HD.  There is an external hard drive with lots of available storage.

    How to pass these events to the external hard drive?

    Thank you

    Owen

    For a long time I used iMovie 9 but this link to the help info gives instructions: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

    Its probably safer to copy rather than move events (unless you already have a backup) just in case something goes wrong.

  • Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

    For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

  • Each folder in my external hard drive and Flash Drives have all been replaced by cmd shortcuts by accident

    I don't know how it happened but one night, I unplugged my external hard drive, and I remember vaguely the prompt being opened by accident after I plugged the external drive again the next day. The computer says my drive needed for formatting, that does not make sense because my drive was not related at the time. Well, when I reconnected my drive and restarted the computer, each folder in my external hard drive, I created in recent months, had been changed to shortcuts by the computer. The target location for each folder on my external hard drive and readers flash is (C:\Windows\System32). So whenever I click on a folder for documents, it will open in another screen, but I can't ever see as a folder only content inside, I need to find a way to cancel some setting in my computer that changes every folder I creat in a shortcut that reads-card: cmd (C:\Windows\System32)

    Hi Gordon Gekko.

    It seems that the data on the hard drive is damaged. I suggest you plug the drive on another computer or another port on the same computer to see if the data is accessible.

    If you take a backup of the data in the drive and try to format the drive.

    For more information, see the following link:

    Formatting disks and drives: frequently asked questions

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions

    You can also use your favorite search engine to download third party software to recover the data and then format the drive, so it's is more corrupt.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
