Lightroom has stopped to move files on my external hard drive, it was working fine last night, but now I just get an error msg saying: he can't move them.

Last night I started moving the external files on my PC hard drive internal to one of my hard drives for backup purposes. I've never had a problem in the past with older versions of LR but it's the first time I did it since arriving in LR CC. I moved several 100 RAW files last night with a problem, but as it was late, I stopped. I created LR move that several 1000 files today while I was only to return home and find that most of the files have not been moved and LR, saying that he cannot move them.

I tried to move a small folder of files but I get the same result, I'm quite puzzled by what worked yesterday doesn't work not today or the same as the older versions of LR. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Neil.

Arrgh I'm sorry dj_paige I just found the problem.

Windows has changed the drive letters on one of my external drives and I tried to move the files to a full drive! Not surprising that RAW files would not move.

I'm so sorry for wasting your time and can only apologize for not noticing the problem yesterday, I can only put it down to my own fatigue at the end of a long day.

I now eat a large slice of humble pie and feeling rather stupid.

    After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos.

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Kind regards

  • I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

    Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

    To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

    Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

    You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

    You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

    Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

    NOT COOL AT ALL! lol - if I use an external USB DISK (NTFS FORMAT).

    Windows XP Home Edition recognizes the letter of the root as E:

    I have a folder called "MY STUFF" - on the inside, there are a few individually labeled folders my videos, music, files, text, programs, etc.

    I ve tried ALL, DISK CHECK, the SYSTEM RESTORE, even reinstalled windows... NOTHING WORKS.

    This is ONLY a problem with files I tried to move... all the other files on my external hard drive work fine as always.

    WHAT WAS WRONG? PLEASE HELP :(

    After that I just moved my external hard drive em (they continue to work) and now all my problems are solved.

  • I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

    I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

    I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

    I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

    It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

    I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

    Hello ShamedMonkey,

    Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
    First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
    (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
    FAT32:
    This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
    NTFS
    This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
    Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive?

    Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive, he sees the part of a file, but not all the files it contains. Virtually everything is there except that one folder, it says all were imported, but they don't show...

    If you wwant photos will show up in Lightroom on your external drive, you must (in Lightroom), do a right click on the folder on your internal drive that has photos and select Update folder location. Then select the appropriate external hard disk folder. You may get a message asking if you want to merge files, allow this merger.

  • Moving music files of 1 external hard drive to another

    I have to move my music files from one external hard drive to another.   Many of these files are in the iTunes library, but do not reside in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder.  Is it possible to do so that they don't become 'traces of dead' in iTunes that I'll have to then 'find' whenever I want to access one of the songs?

    There is no easy way to do it. It is one of the disadvantages of not let iTunes do its own management of files.

    My suggestion would be to first let iTunes consolidate the active player library and only then move it to the new drive.

    Original title: music is dead

    Windows media player does not recognize my external hard drive on all my computers windows 7, but works fine on my xp. has taken the laptop shop they led produced songs media player then reinstalled them, and it worked. but when I added more songs on the ext. harddrive and tried to play on windows media player 7 it does not find new! can't afford to take to the store whenever I have download music and want to play on my Media Player 7. is it auto recognition? When I plug the ext. harddrive inside automatically so reads the news on it?

    It has been fixed thought

    I had posted a question on my Ext. harddrive, my windows xp Media Player recognizes new music I have add out of it, but all my computers which are used to windows 7. then I myself especially when I add the new music on the hard drive for media playyer on xp I have spend the toolbar and click on file, then click Add to library computer search and it adds to the media player library. but windows 7 does not have this option. I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

  • Is there a possibility of the virus being transferred as well for moving files on an external hard drive?

    Hi Cbx_ladyarabica

    Please contact the Microsoft Community.

    I like to show you a point for Microsoft Security Essentials. Want to know if there is a possibility of virus being transferred on the external hard drive and back, as well as files. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

    It is a possibility that the virus may be transferred along with the files provided that they are infected, as well. To be on the safe side, I'd like you try to run a full scan on the computer by using various third-party programs (such as suggested by Andre) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    NOTE: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Back to us for any issues related to Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.
