How to copy photos from the external drive to the photo library

My photos are stored on an external drive.  I want to copy them to a library of Photos.  How can I do this?

The photos on it files external disk in files and folders image or are they in a library of photos - iPhoto library or an Aperture library?

If the photos are images in files and folders, use the "Import files" command in Photos and select the folder containing the pictures on the external hard drive in the file selector Panel.

In the import Panel "Review for import" select the items that you want to import.

    10.9.2 MBP

    Hello.  Just got off the phone with OWC.  The fix was to use the DISK UTILITY to reformat the OWC by Partition, not delete). I everything copied on my OWC drive to another drive, partitioned the OWC disk with a single partition, copy the files to the OWC and this is!  Premiere Pro CC 2014 can now see my drive from OWC.  (My OWC drive is connected to MBP via a firewire 800 cable and an adapter of 800 to shot of lightning.)

    (BTW, I had to upgrade to version PP CC 2014 before PP could access AVCHD files from a Canon Vixia.)  Apple seems to have "conditioned" AVCHD files in such a way that the earlier version of PP creative cloud could not access the media.  )

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

    Despite the title, this video explains how to MOVE pictures, not how to copy.

    There is no way to make copies of the photos using Lightroom, you can move the photos using Lightroom.

    Lightroom will result in no records per day, except when you import photos. If I could make a suggestion, leave your files in the same "mess" they are in now and use the keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search.

  • Cannot copy a Machine of Vitrual XP from one external drive to another

    Interesting problem I can repeat that with one of my virtual machines in Fusion 2.0.2

    1. I have an XP VM I'm copying from one external drive to another.

    2. it starts copying, then, at the end of 40 MB, it stops and a message indicates the virtual machine is in service, one can not be copied.

    I did the same with my Win7 and Vista VM with NO problem from the same player to start on the same end drive, just this VM XP gives me problems.

    I can open the XP VM without any problems and I can close with no probem.

  • Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

    I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
    Please, help me!

    Hello

    You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
    If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
    A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

    You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

    Check this back and forth!

    Good luck
