JPG files are damaged and wont open on an external HARD drive

Hello world

Ive recently had a problem with my new laptop HARD drive. I reformatted it in FAT32 but I lost everything. Long story short, I found all my photos. For some reason but I can't open any of them even if they take up space on my disk. When I try to open the files I get the following error message;

The file "" *. "" JPG' could not be opened.

It may be damaged or use a file format that does not recognize overview.

Can someone help me to recover my pictures?

Thank you

How did you get the files back? Where were they?

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

  • Had a project done with first elements 11.  All media files and PRE files were in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Received a new computer, loaded first items 11 (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects as it is)

    Had a project done using first items 11 (the file exported and posted on youtube).  All the media files and PRE files associated with this project were located in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Got a new computer, responsible for first 11 elements (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects because it is a new installation) and now cannot open the original project to make some adjustments (connected to the external hard drive of course)...  Even tried to open the last saved auto program as well, no luck.  Just get a shell of the original project, but no real media file is passed in. Then get a prompt asking you where the file "rendering-3090026..." (20 More digits) is located.  Looking for C drive and external hard drive without success. Help!

    Which operating systems are involved - old and new?

    The external drive has the same drive letter on the new computer as it did when it was used on the other computer?

    Where are the video preview and the old led, Audio preview files compared to new? See Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch discs?

    Are all the place where is the file... messages just to render files? If all are for rendering files, what happens if you click ignore for their

  • Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

    Hello!

    I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

    Hi Dan:

    Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

    120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

    for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

    for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

    An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

    For me:

    I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

    I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

    I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

    Good luck finding your best solution.

  • How do I delete photo albums and send them to an external hard drive?

    Newbie here and thankful for any help.

    I have been scanning a lot of old photos.  I bought a WD My Passport for Mac.  I would like to remove some old albums of photos scanned photos and put them on My Passport.  How to achieve this?  Also, do I buy an external hard drive right or should I format it?  Clerks in Best Buy make it sound so simple... "Just put your photos on an external hard drive.

    I guess I should mention that I have defined iCloud for storing photos and I have a time capsule airport put in place.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    Also, do I buy an external hard drive right or should I format it?

    What is the file system of the reader?

    Select the icon for the drive in Finder, and then press the combination of keys ⌘I (abbreviation of "file > read information").

    The info panel displays the file system in the genres section:

    If the file system is not Mac OS extended (journaled) reformat the drive with disk utility before you move all data to it.  Formatting will erase it.

    The procedure is explained here for Aperture, but it goes the same for Photos: external drives Format Mac OS extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support

    Save your photos on external hard drive, you have two options - just save the INDIVIDUAL photos or save the photo library.

    It would be better to copy your photo library on disk. This way you will save the versions published with all the metadata that you added and the original images in the quality is.

    If you export photos you need to make your choice, if you want to export the edited versions or the original versions, or both.

    • To save the library, do it just from the pictures on the external drive folder.
    • To save the individual photos, open one of your albums, then select all photos with ⌘A, then use the command "file > export > export... photos ' and select one a high-quality format t the original size. Do this for all the photos. Check if the export went well, before you delete photos from the library.  To remove photos from an album using the ⌘⌫ key combination command + DELETE.

    Empty the recently deleted album only after that you convinced yourself that the exported photos are OK and you have a backup.

  • Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

    When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

    It depends on the size of the file.

    It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

    See you soon.

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works...

The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

    You can copy and paste the files on your external hard drive.

    Right-click your folder of the image and choose copy...

    Right-click on the drive letter for your external hard
    drive and choose Paste.

    You can also right click on some files or folders and
    in the menu... Choose... Send to..., then select the
    Letter from the external hard drive.

    FWIW... the external hard disk file system

  • front usb ports are unable to detect the large capacity external hard drive (250 GB)

    Hello
    I have 250 GB external hard drive, whenever I connect to my front usb ports it detected, but pen drives, are to detect flash drives, one of my friends said that you need to update my bios & I here is the motherboard.

    motherboard: Mercury 945gcm

    It is possible that the USB 1.1 and not 2.0 ports that can explain the problem.  In addition, sometimes USB ports out enough power to run an external device that is not powered separatelly.  I don't know if updating the BIOS will help, but if there is an update available for your system (and it MUST be for your system - big bad can occur if you install the wrong BIOS so get with the computer manufacturer, and speak to a representative to confirm that they are appropriate for your system AND your version of Vista) then by all means install it and see if that solves the problem.  You can also get the updated drivers for the motherboard manufacturer, at the same time and see if that helps as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I can't open my USB external hard drive

    When I plug my hard drive usb, it appears in 'My devices and printers' but I can't find anywhere else. I ran FixIt and convenience store and am really without a clue about where to go from here. Can someone give me an idea as to what to do next please?

    Hello

    In addition to the questions below, some additional questions for you to answer first: represents the already formatted drive? Are there files it contains? Windows 7 does not show empty drives unless you tell her.

    There are a few possibilities. I would do these things in order:

    (1) go to control panel and open the Device Manager and select portable devices. It shows? And is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. It shows? Can solve you the problem (s) its reports? When you are finished, make a right click on it and then left click, look for changes on the hardware. What is the result of this?

    2) go to easeus.com (even if the HARD disk does not appear in the Device Manager) and download and install EaseUS Partition Wizard Home Edition application. Run the application, the HARD drive is displayed there? It shows its status?

    (3) come back here and post your answers and I'll try to help.

    Drag the Aperture library on an external drive, and double click it to open it in Aperture.

    Just make sure that the disc external hard has a file system compatible - Mac OS extended (journaled) and use a drive mounted locally, not a NAS:

  • Upgrade to Windows 8 and now cannot access my external hard drive

    I just changed OS from Vista to Windows 8 on July 3-4. Everything seems to work properly but when I tried to access my external Western Digital HD, it tells me access is denied. I copied this before making the switch: family videos and photos, documents, statements, etc., and now I can't access the drive. The drive appears on my computer but when I click on it it gives me an error message that I don't have permission. I don't see how that's possible, because I am the administrator. It is a home computer and I don't need all this security {deleted}.  The only thing I can think is that I didn't log on the computer when I used Vista but now I connect with Windows 8. The connection ID would be the reason why I can't access the drive? I tried to make the public drive and giving my self control of training, but I get refused every time. Someone at - it ideas? I'll be upset if I lost access to everything on my external.

    Thank you for your help. I think that I finally thought to it. By clicking on the icon my computer, it would show all available drives. One was removable storage drive I: WD Unlocker but it is only 7MB. After the installation of Windows 8, I had to click this drive tell him to unlock my WD J: drive. Once I did, I could see the folders and files but couldn't access it. I clicked on the I: drive and select Properties. He says that the disc was not shared so I said to share. Then I looked at the permissions and he says: read-only. Once I changed it to shared with full access, I can access now fully my WD J: will try to restart now and see if I still have access. Thanks again for your help.
