How to save your photos on an external drive

How can I save photo library in my computer in an external drive. I use OS X El Capitan version 10.11.30

Do the drag to a Mac OS Extended format volume, or set up Time Machine or use disk utility's restore feature or a product such as Carbon Copy Cloner.

    In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

    In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

    So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

  • How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

    I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

    Thank you!

    Marco.

    Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

    Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

    Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

    You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

  • LifeCam does not work, get a LifeCam error could not save your, photo, audio clip or video clip

    Just got a LifeCam Cinema.

    Installed the drivers-software, plugged the cam, noticed drivers installed.
    Tested by opening the installed LifeCam software. Describes the options to take photo, audio or video. "Or the other option does appear immediately the error" LifeCam could not save your, photo, audio clip or video clip.

    Shows Device Manager is installed correctly.
    Swapping the same USB ports it shows in the software, no device detected, a driver is re-installed during the exchange of the ports, it comes up with the 3 options mentioned before and again the same error message.

    Have also tried Google chat and shows no video, but gives the possibility to do video chats.

    System: Windows 7 64-bit.
    I have full admin rights on the system...

    Christophe ideas?

    Hello Striff,

    If the camera is not detected, it seems to me that the drivers are not installed for the device works, I suggest you reinstall the Lifecam drivers and check if you have the same problem.

    I suggest that you try different methods listed in the following article to resolve this problem:

  • Photos of the external drive on my Mac hard drive

    I transferred my Photos App with all my photos on an external drive to create a space.

    I upgraded my mac pro internal end 2013 SSD and have plenty of space and want to reinstall my pictures from my external hard drive on my disk hard mac . How can I do?

    The same way that you moved the library before, except with the disc source and destination reversed. The Photos application must always be on the startup disk.

  • Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

    Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

    Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

  • I am new to adobe.  Saved gall .pdf for Adobe PANEUSE Xi and can be seen on the screen.  How to save the .pdf on my Flash drive file: L?

    I am new to Adobe.  Have the .pdf file in Adobe Reader Xi and can open and see on my screen.  How to save the .pdf on my Flash Drive file: L?

    I would advise against ever record directly onto a flash drive. For no reason I can understand this often broken leaves files behind.

    Instead, just save it to your desktop and drag it to the usual flash drive (in Windows Explorer or the Finder).

  • How do you store your photos on an external hard drive?

    Revel recommends storing your files on the computer 1. None of my friends have sufficient storage capacity. The fact only my external hard drive. How can I move where Revel is to store Photos on a Mac to an external drive? I am a teacher with many different students to the storage aid and my Mac crashes because of this problem. When I bought the award-winning teacher and student of Revel version is unlimited storage capacity. But when I installed and he wanted to have 1 computer to store files on I am now in storage issues on my internal HD HELP!

    We do not have the possibility to designate a different location to store photos on the Mac. Has been suggested and we are looking for in a future version that we realize that many of the recent macs have only flash memory and it is limited. If you're runnign out of space, you can disable save originals and use an external hard drive to back up photos from your computer and other devices manually for now. I currently have a better solution for you.

    I'm not aware of any version techer or student of revel, just a free version and a version of subscription.

  • How can I save a particular set of photos on an external drive. NEF files as well as everything I've done for them in Lightroom?

    Apologies in advance if this is a dead-easy question or one that has been answered countless times in the past.

    When I get back from a trip, I load all the photos of the trip in Lightroom, create a collection out of them, the best of the Pavilion, and treat them in the module 'development '. If I want to save these photos up to an external drive (most likely a USB key), I know that I can simply drag the. Files NAVE from the Finder to the drive icon, but who copies only the files raw, not the work I did on them in Lightroom. Is it a simple and direct way to choose a particular collection of photos into Lightroom and export it to an external drive, including the raw files and any relevant changes for them ('sidecar files"?)? Or do I need to do this in several steps, as by exporting this collection as a catalog separately by copying the raw files?

    I realize that I could do a back-up Time Capsule of the whole machine - and I do on a regular basis, but I want to have quick access to a back-up of only pictures of a particular trip.

    My installation includes Nikon cameras (so the ".") "NAVE" reference above), a fairly new iMac and Lightroom 5.7.

    In its default configuration, Lightroom saves only the changes in the catalog. If you selected the option to save the changes to XMP so there will be files XMP sidecar to accompany each raw file that you worked on in Lightroom. If you have not activated this option, you can select all of the images and do a 'Save to File metadata"in the menu picture. Just be aware that these changes will be visible in other Adobe software. There isn't any method of writing changes directly in a raw file. But if you back up your files on a flashdrive and then make sure that you back up your catalog on a regular basis, you should be relatively safe.

  • 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 to save JPEG photos with their LR adjustments?

    Hello Folks, please forgive this probably stupid question from a new user of Lightroom!

    I recently imported some JPEG photos in LR, made several changes that have improved the images (well, I thought they did...) but then for the life of me I couldn't work out how to save the results.

    Stored files just show the originals, but in LR, they appeared with all the settings. Tried to export, but with the same result. I don't know I am on what is obvious...

    Any help is appreciated.

    Take a look at the of gotcha ten albums LR here

    Your question is number 1.

    You do not have record in LR (LR, as it goes along). To see that your changes applied you export and create a new file. LR does not change your original file,
