  • I'm trying to copy a folder of drive C: for the thumb drive.

    I get the message that "this disc already contains a folder named old Docs' when the file I am trying to copy is 'Documents '.  (Old Docs was the source of the Documents, but was renamed).

    The USB key actually contains a folder named old Docs?  If so, rename it to 'Old Documents' and then try to redo the copy.  I don't know why the system isn't recognizing Documents such as the name of the folder (it should if it is her name now), but if it works, then you will have accomplished your purpose of copy on the folder and the new folder will be correctly named.

    If it does not create a new folder on the drive of thumb (whatever name you want) and open the Documents on your system folder, and then click Select all on the Edit menu, then CTRL + C to copy everything and then go to the new folder that you created, click it and then press Ctrl + V to paste the content in the folder.  The content of your Documents folder will now be on the USB key you want.  I would like to try opening a couple in order to ensure that the copy worked properly and you can access data (just in case).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Copy the folder to update a x 220 to another system

    Hello

    I have a lot of x 220 machines I need to update using ThinkVantage System Update. I was told that I can download all of the updates in the system on a single machine update folder and then copy this file to other machines. Then when they perform the system update, they will not have to re - download all updates and will automatically detect the existing files in the folder.

    Is this really possible? I tried to copy the folder on the new machine Mode without failure, but when I reboot and run the system update, he always tries to download all updates, even if they are already in the folder.

    Thank you very much

    Jon

    UPDATE *.

    I noticed that when I selected all recommended updates and all the optional updates, it took a while to download the files (my initial reason for the post), but when I chose only the optional updates, he flew in the download section.

    I don't know why he cannot make reference to the local copy of the files for the recommended updates, but this seems to be the way to do it (copy the folder of the Session, then install optional updates and then let the recommended updates are descended from the internet as usual).

  • Tried to move a folder and it delete files on disk

    I tried to move a folder to another folder in LR CC, and coincidentally, I moved it again in the same folder (which means that I had two simultaneous operations happening now doing the same thing). I got an error (error code lost) and the file is now gone from my hard drive. I checked everywhere – each folder on the hard disk, the Recycle Bin, etc. Is there any hope for these files?

    Did you use your operating system to search for photos by file name?

    If you did, and research based on the operating system is unable to find the pictures, then you probably have been bitten by a rare but serious bug in Lightroom, which is described in the response 1 in this thread

    Lightroom deletes pictures while moving

    For later use, you need to move photos using your OS (not Lightroom) and then reconnect in Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

    Hello
     
     
    a. What are the data you're trying to move?
    b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
    c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
     
     
    Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.

    Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
    Here's how:
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    4. click on start.
     
     
    Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
     
    I hope this helps.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Solved it myself and am posting the 'solution' for others who are not frequent users of Psalm.

    I tried to copy the font and color of my text to a bunch of other text layers. Come to know that it is not possible (AFAIK) without making the formatting using mix of options. Instead, I used the regular text formatting tools. Everything is good now.

  • I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

    I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

    This is the name of a folder? Who will be in a file name in your file system. Given his situation, is it possible or likely that the total path length exceeds the limit of the operating system?

    For example: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7

    This is not to talk about any other limit which may be inherent in the way that Thunderbird uses names of files internally.

    In your position, I explore the Thunderbird profile and check paths, as they appear in the file manager. You should be able to remove all folders that are unwanted here also.
