  • Importing photos into LR second external drive

    I have all my RAW photos are currently important to an external drive. I would like to activate a second external drive start to be used for imports. You can have two and LR6 will find these photos on the drive?  If I import the photos today on a new external drive and then want to look at the pictures of yesterday, who are on the other drive, LR will find them?

    My first drive becomes full and it seems that things are very slow when I try and take down the images. I thought that maybe the full drive was the problem. My computer is not so old and still has lots of storage. And when I use applications on my computer outside of LR, they are fast.

    Thanks for any input

    Gabrielle

    Yes, you can do it. In the import dialog box, change the Destination (it's on the right side) and that it points to the 2nd disc.

  • Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

    Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

    I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

    Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    "Best practices for EFS file system.

  • My program and other files on my C drive & external drives seem to be "deleted", but the virus scans show that the real files are still there...

    I use Windows Vista and the antivirus software Kerpersky internet on my Dell laptop. A virus 'seems have wiped my desktop and programs files and the directory of my document files, and index on my C drive and my external drive which was attached when you save.' .. that is the index of the two drives is empty shows that no file already exist...

    Kerpesky worked at the time, but he could not stop the attack. However, Karpersky himself was apparently not affected, and when I run that s Karpersky it scanning readings missing files on the C drive and the external drive as being there but appears to any threat of threats...

    I managed to get my office back in a configuration much earlier using a Windows roll back feature that resets the list of programs and some very old directories and older files, but I can't see the previous desktop, nor my current "desktop", or a 'my document' content etc.

    When I jump into Excel and pick up the last file used, that has been saved on my desktop, it chose upward and able to be re-registered, but if I try to view a list of files via Excel or MS Word, none are found.  Another problem is that my backup disk has got so touched.  I am concerned to recover all my files and also not to overwrite anything on my C drive in the meantime. What are the best tools to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Peter

    Problem has been fixed.  I had a breakthrough last night when I did a bit of research to specific directories and found that files and directories 'lost' were just 'hidden '. I used the Windows tools to display all the files and directories hidden in the C drive and HARD drive and were able to view each of them to solve my problem.

    Thank you very much

  • Are there any newspaper in my system or on the server to which data copy from my computer on any external hard drive?

    HII guys,
    Are there any newspaper in my system or on the server that the data that are copy from my computer on any external hard drive?

    No, there isn't, but it might be possible to implement through the audit.

  • my photos on an external drive. my catalog is also stored there, (in the case where I have to change computers. where are stored my backups to the catalog? (can't find them!

    as noted, my pix is on an external drive (pc), my catalogs are on the same drive. where are my backups being stored i cant seem to find them. If I open the folder lightroom with the name of the catalog on the outside, all I see is a bunch of files labeled 1,2,3, etc. and has, b, c.

    shouldn't there be a folder labeled bacvkups?

    If you have enabled the option to make catalog backups (you?) then your backups are in any case, indicate when the backup dialog box is displayed when you close Lightroom. If you enable the option to make backups of catalog, then you have not all backups.

    Yoou can use the search function of your operating system to find the files on all hard disks that have a name that ends with. LRCAT to find all possible backups.

    Note: the functionality of catalog in Lightroom backup makes a Backup of your file to catalog only. He doesn't have backups of your photos, you have to do it through other methods.

    Note: backups SHOULD go on a different drive than the originals; you make a terrible mistake if you put them on the same disk as the original.

  • You want to move install Bootcamp or VM VMWare on the external drive and run it from there.

    I have two versions of Windows 7 on my iMac 24 "4 GB. One is a Bootcamp of Win 7 Professional installation.  One is a computer virtual from Windows 7 in VMWare Mac OSX. The two windows installs work well (the Bootcamp we're NOT accessible through VMWare right now).

    I want to do is get AN installation running on a partition on the external drive I connected. I have 3 partitions on a disk of T 1.  A 500 GB for Time Machine and 2 250 GB, Mac OSX and a Fat32.

    What I wish really is a straight Win BOOTABLE install on Fat 32 partitions, but will sag to move the VMWare installation to the outside OSX partition.

    Are there ways to do?  I thought Winclone, but as it is in oblivion I don't know about use.

    Any ideas?

    With the Virtual Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed copy the target Virtual Machine hard disk external package and double-click it to launch the first time and it will fill an entry on the Virtual Machine library.

    The extent of the running Windows natively on a disk external Windows is not capable of it in itself although there may be some ways according to the type of external hard drive and various Boot Loader/managers that are out there.

  • Fast download of all pictures of iCloud on an external drive?

    Hi all

    This question was asked a few times, but no real progress seems to have been done in the past months, so I thought I would ask the question again, perhaps that someone has found a new 'thing '? :

    Location:

    -I would like to save all my (> 40 k pictures) photos currently in iCloud on an external drive.

    -I don't have enough memory space on my Mac to Park gradually through 'Photos' (i.e. download all original to my mac-function)

    -I want to directly choose a location (i.e., my external HARD drive) to store in.

    What I tried:

    -Via Safari and Chrome: connect to iCloud.com, select all images (via 'Shift' and select photo first + last) and direct downloads on the external drive.

    Problem:

    Since there are so many pictures, my Safari and my browsers Chrome "crashes" and do not complete the work (actually that they don't even start to download). If I select just say 5 pictures, it works in a jiffy.

    Any ideas, I would be grateful?

    Thank you

    Do not use iCloud.com.

    Set up a library on your external drive, make the system library and download the photos, once you've done that you can keep it this way, keep as a secondary library and change the library system to another library or simply export all the photos and remove the library.

  • clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

    First time user FCPX.

    I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

    Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

    I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

    After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

    Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

    If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

    Thank you!

    The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

    You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.

  • Copy of iPhoto/iTunes to external drive for upgrade

    I would like to transfer my iPhoto (5.0.4) and files iTunes (9.2.1) of my old iMac G5 (running 10.4.11) to my new iMac (El Capitan running).

    My iTunes library is now on an external drive (and iTunes is headed there), and I would like to copy my iPhoto on the same drive - to move together on the new iMac while maintaining the structures of files etc.

    Can someone tell me what is the best way to do this? I'm not clear what iPhoto files files, I need to move or copy on the external hard drive to retain the current structure of the organization/etc folder or the process then bring them into the right place on the new machine.

    Simply drag and drop them where you want libraries to reside. As iPhoto is plu included you will use the Photos app. You can learn how to move the library iPhotos to Photos for Mac on http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/17/move-iphoto-library-to-photos-mac/.

    Insofar as your iTunes library, yet once just drag and drop. 'Teach' iTunes where the library is simply double-click the library and iTunes will find it and then "know" where the library.

  • Cannot play mp4 external drive, but still flow to 35.0 stuff

    35.0 running on windows 7 pro.

    I want to be able to play mp4 external drive and continue to spread. I could do this before updating 35.0 when I put media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to false. Now, it seems that I need to adjust the two who and media.play - stand alone to false, and then mp4 will open in media player classic (as I would like to). But the tumblr.com streaming will not work. He's right there.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    Brian

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.
