loose 14 import disk files external hard fm

HI - when you import files from another source (external hard drive) elements important files and photos produced a miniature; but the details of the files remain on the external hard drive.  I change the destination in the section instead of the location that I want the files to go - but nothing is put in memory.  Very frustrating.

You have two ways to 'import' of multimedia files, "importing" has two different meanings.

1. you 'import' of ' camera or card reader "." Those are devices that are not supposed to keep their media constantly, you're supposed to 'Download' (copy) files on your computer where you want to, on an internal drive or external. This is why you set your import preferences to a default location. "Download" is followed by the 'indexing' of media files in the catalog.

2. you "import" of files and folders: there is no difference between the drives internal or external. You should not need to copy your files elsewhere. An external hard drive is considered to be a permanent storage location. The word (bad) 'Import' only of the means "Indexing" in this case the files in the catalog.

If you want to copy or move the files to an external hard drive, you must perform that move yourself either from your operating system before the 'import = indexing' stage, or the organizer with the command move or drag and drop in the files Panel, if you have already "imported" in the catalog.

  • Files missing after moving iMovie events from local disk to external HARD disk. Are they lost?

    Hi all

    Tonight, I tried to clear up little space on my local HARD drive and wanted to spend my events/projects of the iMovie local library to an external HARD disk, which I connected via firewire 800.

    I opened iMovie (v10.1 - current version with all updates installed). I clicked on an event to highlight and then the FILE--> COPY OF LIBRARY of selected EVENTS.

    There, I sailed on the external drive and created an iMovie new library called ReWatch2015. I copied successfully eight different events, including files from my external hard drive.

    The ultimate goal is to get rid of them on the HARD drive internal, I highlighted the 20 remaining events I wanted to move and then used the FILE--> MOVE of EVENTS at the LIBRARY and specified ReGen_2015.

    It seemed at first glance to move. In fact, he seemed to move too darn fast in my opinion. When I looked at home in the library of the external drive, they were nothing more than a string of question marks, with a message telling me that particular item is not found and re-import the original clips. It's impossible because I have not kept the original source material on my internal drive. I had asked before if they are preserved in the library of iMovie and told me Yes, so I that's why I deleted the original source material.

    Don't see no activity on the disks, I did the cmd - Z to go back. Events have now shown upward into the iMovie library internal. HOWEVER, they still have the question mark, with msg on reimport. What is scary, is that if I go to ALL projects of them have visible thumbnails. Yet, when I click on any of these thumbnails to load the project into the editor, I am back to the page of question mark again.

    Are the file on drive HARD internal, and they just disassociated projects, or two-thirds of my library of events of 2015 are now toast? I was not under any type of backup Time Machine to be able to recover them, and frankly, if they left, it is not the end of the world since I was of the .mp4 displayed on Vimeo. But, I would just assume the iMovie library intact if possible.

    Suggestions on how to recover are greatly appreciated!

    Hi Robert

    Am having exactly the same problem on a new iMac 2016 running El Capitan: when I want to MOVE events such as you describe it, they sometimes get lost in the original library, both in the target library. Like you, I noticed that a such attempt to move just a very short time even if several GB of data play a role. Sometimes however, iMovie is able to move successfully. I my case, I had to re - import events so lost since an additional backup, I got on another external drive that I couldn't find the clips 'lost' on the HARD drive more. Very scary!

    I think it's an iMovie/El Capitan question which could be corrected with future updates. The only solution I've found is to the events of the FIRST COPY, and then check if the target is really OK and only then select the MOVE option, which will remove the original library to free up space. In addition, I plan to copy on a regular basis my library full iMovie on an extra disk to backup using the finder.

    Did you find anything in the meantime?

  • Importing video on external hard drive

    How to import videos in iMovie that are already on an external hard drive (connection) Thunderbolt. I don't want to move them on HD of the Macbook Air.

    Icebear Hello!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see you want to access the video files on an external hard drive and not to transfer to the HD on your MB Air. You must import the video into your iMovie library to work with it, but what you can do is move your iMovie library to an external hard drive. Here are some articles on how to do it, according to the version of iMovie that you use.

  • Change disk to external hard drive

    I have an external hard drive, which always used TSE will automatically connect to drive F:.  He started to connect to G: or H: and I cannot impose it connects to F:.  Even if I use USB keys for use of G:, H:, etc., the hard drive will not always connect to F:, it selects a letter later in the alphabet.  Readers of the pen will automatically connect to F: if it's free.  I have control of subversion as a back up so I can use the same files on different computers and external hard disk contains the repositories.  The path to the repository is on F:, so unless I can connect to the hard drive on f: I can't commit the any changes and I have actually no control of subversion.

    How can I gat the drive external hard for you connect to the computer on the way F:?

    Try to set the drive letter on that drive to F: 'disk management '.
    First mount your external drive, then make a right click on 'My Computer' then
    Manage-> Storage-> disk management
    Then right-click on your external hard drive and select 'Letter of change of road and railways...'

  • Disk 320 external HARD USB 2.0-2.5 "can not find the driver

    I recently bought a 320 GB 2.5 external HARD drive "USB 2.0, Alu - case and I have it in my laptop properly connected.
    But my laptop is saying that he must "install driver software" and then he said: "windows found driver software for your device."

    Is there anywhere that I can get the driver software?
    Or something simple that will do well?

    I'm on windows vista, if that's any help

    Thank you
    Sam x

    In most cases you don't need drivers for USB storage devices. Provide special software as tools of encryption or password where you might need some kind of driver?

    You can try and check if all windows updates are installed and connect it to a different USB port.
    Do other USB devices such as memory sticks work card?

    Just in case, test it with another computer.

  • How to import from an external hard drive to LightRoom.

    I'm brand new creative cloud and LightRoom. I have read and listened to the import from card memory, but I'm not sure how to import since the backup of my old Mac Pro drive to my new iMac. The external drive is already the backup for the new iMac, is connected and works. I can see the HARD drive in the LR Panel and you can find the 'pictures' folder in the drop-down list. I don't know if the 'folder of photos (on the left panel) is the old b/u or the iMac HARD drive. I can get to where I need to be so I can understand what I'm looking at and what I should look for that for the 2 discs HARD, p/c or iMac. I know the right panel, but the interactions are completely unknown to me. Thanks for any help and advice. TCrowe

    If you are importing from a hard disk, then you don't need to worry about the right panel in the import dialog box. This would allow you to locate the file you want to import in the left panel. At the top of the import screen you choose the option 'Add '. This will add these images to your catalog without having to move them anywhere. If you want to place copies on another hard drive then you would choose the option copy the top of import. Then the right panel will allow you to specify where you want to place copies.

  • LR 5 import since the external hard drive LaCie MacBook Pro

  • Overview of slow disk file external nas

    I've just converted our office of a XP OS to Apple running El Cap and have installed a new drive NAS netgear ethernet network.

    We currently live preview of file very slow speeds. Some large directories sit at 15 seconds to display the files. I chose to use the SMB player as it seems slightly faster, but still very slow compared to XP.

  • Problem with Lightroom and external hard drive. Files and folders deleted.

    In the classroom (8.1 windows computers) import us images that .dng files on an external hard drive using Lightroom.

    After the Lightroom, insert us the memory card containing photos and attach an external hard drive. (formatted to ntfs)

    We create a new catalog on the external hard drive and then create a folder as the destination for the images on the external drive as well.

    After passing to the newly formed catalog in Lightroom, we import the photos from the memory card to the external hard drive.

    Photos are present in the folder 'import' on the external hard drive after the end of the import, so checking with windows Explorer.

    After the closure of LR and disconnect the external hard drive of the computer, it appears that the newly created files and imported files have disappeared.

    We tested with an external hard drive in exfat. The same problem.

    There is no problem when you copy directly in Explorer windows of memory card files to the external drive.

    The files are not hidden. Tested on mac and windows.

    If you said that the photo files are on the external hard drive when you checked using Windows Explorer during the class? Is this correct? YES
    Then you go home and the files are not on the external hard drive? YES

    Well, it is a mystery, but there is no way that Lightroom can be the culprit.

    Is it the same for the catalog file, in class, he was present on the hard disk according to the Windows Explorer, and when you get home, is no longer on the drive? YES

    Same conclusions, it is not Lightroom.

  • Trying to move a large file on external hard drive

    I have a 119gig .bkf file on my desktop and I am trying to move to a new disk 320gig external hard. I get a message that there is not enough space on the disk. If I reformat the external hard drive from FAT to NTFS it work or do I start the backup utility and save it to the external hard drive? On my desk .bkf file took almost 8 hours to create. Don't want to do it again if I don't have to. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

    You guessed correctly the problem. FAT32 is a 4 GB file size limitation. You need to format the drive NTFS. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • drive external hard do not appear in the folder tab.

    After you import a folder of photos to my external HD and her work on pictures in LR5, I closed LF5. After reboot LF5 auger a few days, the external hard drive are not displayed

    Please specify.

    If some of the images were imported from an external hard drive, you must select one of these specific images > click right/control click > select 'go to the folder in the library.

    If it still shows the office, this would mean that you have chosen to copy when importing and images have been copied on the desktop instead of being added via the hard disk external.

  • external hard drive, because the camera into iMovie

    Hello

    I like to shoot loads of video and save these images on a hard disk to use later.  I just started using iMovie 10.

    Last night I tried to import video from my external hard drive... but... iMovie it reads like a camera.  Is very annoying because it searches the disk for video... but there's also a few records that might be inside other folders.  (I like to organize pictures by date... etc.)

    It seems to me that an external hard drive to be read the same as my hard drive... so I can click Open and navigate to the location I wanted, then select only the videos that I want to.

    Is there a way to change this?  It is not logical at all that an external hard drive is read as a camera. (See the image below.  Storage is not a camera! )

    Thank you!!

    If you copy a camera directory in the root of a disk-level external hard iMovie assumes that it is connected to a camera or SD card.  To avoid this simply move the video camera on your external drive folder in an enveloping folder.
