Import from a backup external drive

I tried to transfer photos from my MacBook Pro 2011 (with Snow Leopard so limited to Lightroom 3) to all new 2016 iMac a friend (with Lightroom 5 not 6) via a portable Seagate external drive which I use to back up the MacBook (with Carbon Copy Cloner). The new iMac and Lightroom 5 were "Virgin", totally blank. Import has apparently successfully, but I found that all the data to develop had been deleted. I applied a 'remove the chromatic aberration' preset on import (I don't know why Adobe doesn't that value by default - can someone explain) but who could do anything with it? Surely develop the data would be stored with the photos in the Seagate, right? Is anyway to add data develop or am I going to have to delete all these thousands of photos and start over from scratch (this time with no presets)? Any advice will be appreciated.

I was using the wrong command, should have been "import/export * catalogue * ' instead of just 'export/import '. All sorted now. But thanks for your answers.

  • All software/programs reinstall it from a backup hard drive?

    I just bought my wife a MacBook Pro computer refurbished GroupOn.  It was made in 2012.  She has an old computer MacBook 2008.  We did a full backup on an external hard drive.  All software/programs installed will be reinstall from this backup?  We discovered that iLife is not on the computer is restored to nine... apparently when they wiped the computer, everything is gone, but the basics that come with Mac OS Yosemite.  Please advise... Thank you

    It depends on your backup, how you did and how you plan to restore.  Two computers running the same version of operating system?

    Some simple applications can simply be dragged from drive to drive. Some install components in every sense, and only a clone will restore everything. The problem is a clone of a 2008 computer cannot boot a computer from 2012. A regular drag and drop saving is not a clone, or Time Machine.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

    If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine

    Hi y ' All!

    I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.

    Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.

    Thank you in advance!

    P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!

    Hey guys, I found the problem.

    It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.

    So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.

    See you soon.

  • New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

    I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

    You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

  • Why do I unplug my external drives when I reboot

    Buna,

    To do this you must have an Option for your motherboard at STARTUP of USB enabled in the BIOS.

    He's been looking for this drive as the BOOT Option Option when you turn. but there is nothing that it can BOOT from on your external drives they would be NOT Bootable for you.

    This is a BAD Option for you then change in the BIOS.

  • Changes to the Raw files disappear when importing Images from external drive

    I use three external drives to copy my files from a work of transformation. Then I delete the original work on my hard drive portable. When I need to access these files again, I usually then re - import files in lightroom and remove the external hard drive. I used this system for years without problem. Recently, I found that when I go to import files from the external hard drive, my changes are gone. .Xmp files are there and I checked to make sure that the box is checked to write the changes to the .xmp file. I narrowed down it to two possible problems. It can be a problem with the disk hard as it seems to have started when I bought two new drives (see below). I also noticed that it seems to happen to Canon. Raw CR2 files and not Nikon. Raw NEF files. If someone has had this problem or have any suggestions?
