Implementation of LR3 - external or internal drive

Hello

I am new to Lightroom and am looking forward to set up the application properly from the start. I have a new Mac i7 with 700 GB of free space, and it seems reasonable to place all my images and catalogue LR3 on disk internal. However... I read a lot of contradictory comments in Lightrooms forums seems to indicate that it is bad idea!

I would be grateful for a definitive answer before installing the s/w.

Thanks, Katy

Someone said photos and catalog on the internal drive is a BAD idea? I disagree with you. (And I don't remember read either)

If you have several internal hard drives, then Yes, people say (I didn't myself) that you could improve response times by putting pictures on a different drive from the catalog. But is not still make it a BAD idea to put it all on one disc.

Also, go ahead and install the software, all of this is easily changed (as long as you do it right) If you decide to make changes.

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

  • Restart from a different internal drive

    I have a Powermac. I would add an extra internal drive in order to boot from 10.8.5 on the new drive and keep my use of Adobe indesign and Illustrator. If possible, I would then upgrade my main drive to a newer operating system.

    Two questions: 1) are there problems I'll met by adding another disk to my Powermac rather than using a separate external drive? (2) what is the best upgrade for my main drive? … Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan?

    Thank you!

    The forum in which you've posted is for workstations that were built with different models of the PowerPC microprocessor (1994-2006), who cannot use the most recent operating systems written for Intel processors.  It would be helpful if you can include additional information such as the specific model of your Mac Pro and if necessary your subject can be moved to a more appropriate forum.

  • System restore after the shaping of internal drive and re - install XP from CD

    Recently, when we did a re-start, there was a disk read error, and we could not re - open our system.

    After several attempts and try many different things, we have formatted the internal drive and reinstalled XP from our CD.

    Now, we want to restore our system to the way it was before the accident.

    We have the external hard drive I think the system restore on it.

    Can we some how use it to restore our system so that it works in the same way as it did before the crash?

    We also have Carbonite for our records, but I don't think they can help us with the system.

    Thanks for any advice you can offer on this.

    After a reformat of hd, the system restore will restore the previous time, xp

    should be in a phase of flood, & all xp updates have been removed. What you are

    trying to do is xp reset user (s) & user data. At this point, the manual settings would be

    should be used, unless carbonite might be involved.

    However, once you get xp back to a user mode, create a backup in case this happens

    Once again. To do this in xp, xp installation cd, locate the wizard file transfer, once it starts, configure pc as "old."

    the computer', select the / data files you want to save, save to the new folder that you created.

    Once his blow thru, folder on a cd.

    In addition, reading disc errors are usually a sign that the hd is a failure.

  • External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages. __

    External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.      History
     
    Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
    I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
    People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

    Problem:
    Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
    The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
    This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

    According to the suggestions I have:
    1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
    (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
    (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
    (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
    Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

    Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    Someone knows a solution?

  • Pass the external to internal for HDD LR catalog

    Hello

    Fills up my computer so I want to spend all my photos and my LR work from an external hard drive. I read some of the forums on any move. I copied the folder that my images are on the external drive. I also copied the Lightroom folder in the Finder (containing .lrdata and .lrcat things) on the external drive. If I delete these two folders of my computer and just locate in LR from external HDD (when all points of question marks pop up on the pictures) then everything will work as before?

    I use LR 5.7.1 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. The hard drive is a 2 to Samsung M3 (if any, everything that makes a difference).

    Thanks in advance,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    If you copied the folder catalog Lightroom and previews of Lightroom on the external hard drive, you can then go ahead and delete the folder in your computer's internal drive.

    Also, please make sure you have Photos copied to the same folder structure as it was on your internal drive.

    Once you launch Lightroom from the external drive, then you should reconnect only images in Lightroom with the images of the external drive.

  • How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive?

    How can I copy files from project Waveburner to another internal drive without losing the connection to the files audio orig.?

    Thank you for your time,

    Since no one answered my call, I sat and researched and studied WaveBurner behavior and I can myself answer my question and solve. Since there were a lot of people asking similar questions on WaveBurner files I will post what I learned.

    Whenever you drop your audio files in the list window to make your WaveBurner CD copy not copy your audio files, but relies on the original audio file, where they are located. So whenever you move the files orig. and you open WaveBurner, it can't find those and displays an error window to suggest it will search for the missing file or if you know where he is now lets you find manually. WaveBurner usually place the .wb3 project file that contains everything including your home folder.

    For this reason, I reserve now an audio file WaveBurner also folder in my home folder. In order to save themselves from WaveBurner cannot find the audio file, all audio files that I do, I put in my folder of audio files WaveBurner first, then copy them in WaveBurner from there.

    When I need to use a bigger hard drive I copy .wb3-WaveBurner projects based, but also my

    Sound folder WaveBurner for the home folder on the new hard drive.

    WaveBurner is now all audio files without problem.

    I hope that this will be a unique problem to someone else. Happy WaveBurning.

    Thank you

    Hi Alan

    I really don? t know why you ask if the floppy drive will not work. Why you don? t he try? As far as I know, it should work and you should not buy a new one.

    Just for info: a few months ago, I saw the Toshiba FDD drives with part number PX? And these drives are not bootable but on the lower side, there is a label with this information.

    Anyway, you can use your other more ancient. According to the specification tested for MS M70 is FDD Drive Kit PA3109U-1FDD (your one).

    Good luck
