• How to move Photo videos to an external hard drive?

  Short videos pile up in my PHOTO program and want to spend 129 of them in an external hard drive... the export function does not allow me to set the location for the export... which I find strange, after I selected all of the files to be transferred. Everyone has understood how to do this without resorting to individual transfers of each file?

  I'm on a laptop Mac Pro with El Captain running and Photo Version 1.3 (350.23.0). It should be simpler than that... not?

  Export requires two steps:

  • Select first quality, the regime, the regime of subfolder, and then click 'export' of file naming.
    
  • Now, you will see a file selector Panel to select the location on your external hard drive in the Finder.

    

• 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.

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• Move the files to an external hard drive - LR3.2, Mac Snow Leopard

  I apologize for this right now, but after reading other threads in this forum, buy a book, and I watch a video, I am more confused than ever! I want to spend 6 months of folders, subfolders, metadata, and keywords, off my portable hard drive to an external hard drive to free up room on my laptop (not). Then, I want to be able to access with the LR catalog on the external hard drive. The catalog that I use currently (showing all my photos 2010) also contains more recent files that I don't want to export because they are still topical. My studies, there are all kinds of suggestions on the creation of new files by drag-and - drop, using the sign, export catalogues etc, but nothing that tells me step by step how to achieve what I want to do! Pourrait - a nice person please guide me through this?

  Thnaks,

  Richard

  To make LR 'see' your external hard drive, you must make a top folder of in LR.

  In the library Module, click the icon "+" in the folders Panel, and then click "add a folder".

  Navigate to your external hard drive and create the folder, call it what you want it to be.

  Right-click on the new folder and click on "add a folder"; the player must then become visible.

  Then, just drag and drop your images into this folder.

• How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  my model is vgn-cr323.

  Thanks in advance

  Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

  To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

  Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

  Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.

• How do I move files HD internal to external hard drive

  My internal HD has about 21 remaining G that prevents me from creating a slide show with music.  I anticipate the purchase of an external hard drive to free up space on my internal HD, which automatically backs up everything.  I would also like to delete some of the files are no longer needed.  I think that some of my iTune files have been left out due to lack of space.  It seems that every time that I have access to my iTunes library that it backs up the session, and that means there are layers of libraries being backed up.  I don't want to remove the original library and I noticed that there are layers of folders previous library, previous library eating.  I do not know the importance of these and do not want to recover as much of my iTunes library I can.

  Just drag and drop. Nothing more complex than that, of course, you will have to format the external hard drive first using disk utility. The Mac OS extended (journaled) format and then drag and drop.

• 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.

• 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?

  

• Move photos iPad on an external hard drive

  I have about 4000 + photos on iPad Pro of vacation, I downloaded from a SD card using an adapter. The photos are distributed among the 15 albums or more. I want to get the end these photos on an external hard drive. Currently they are all saved in my pictures from iCloud, but my only option with iCloud Photos is to download these photos individually, and I don't have the time to download 4000 + photos individually.

  I would import each album into my Mac Photos app, but my Photos Mac app refuses to acknowledge one of the albums. No amount of reset or change the USB port or reload all fixes the problem.

  I tried to use iTunes to get the pictures, but they are not found.

  Ideally I would like to batch download all about iCloud Photos, but there seems not to be this option.

  All this seems unnecessarily complicated. How can I get photos from my iPad on my hard drive? There should be a way to simply drag and drop, in my opinion.

  Thank you ~.
