LR catalog on a dedicated USB key and on separate HARD drives of the photo

I have Photoshop for PS6 until CS5 but am new to Lightroom 5.3 which I bought a license because of my camera Fuji X-Pro1 does not not in Camera Raw, level CS5.

I watched movies tutorial (very good) Julieanne and I must say that my initial dislike of the catalog system has changed. In fact: I love and find a huge advantage, not in the last place because it will force finally organize me my photos. So I want to start a really good catalog from the start method.

As you can install it with a single license Lightroom on a primary computer and a portable computer (same owner and used for travel) I've been musing on the following points:

If I install a vacuum om a 16 GB USB key dedicated to the catalog and begin to organize my photos on an external HARD drive (I have a SSD in my self-assembled pc) from within lightroom and add news via a smaller HARD drive external travel
I guess it could be the easier implementation for laptop and home computer. The Lightroom Catalog stick and the travel RFP will work very well with the laptop, and within LR, back home, I could easily move my new photos from the hard drive trip to grand.

In the eye of expert-users, would be the disadvantages?
I hope I have made myself clear...

Erik, it's where you think wrong. Just, you can import your files/folders on site and arrange them how you want. What's different, is that now do you this in and with Lightroom, organization rather than the operating system. You can adapt and or change the structure/organization at any time for each new type you can come up with.

It is also a valid point and something I'm musing all since my last entry. The problem with the LR is that with any other application, you can install it and start working, but LR wants that first know you exactly how you organize your files. You can just start using it. In fact, you * can * but then you miss the power of organizing capacity.

    Hi Robert!

    Looks like you want to make a backup during import. If this is the case, you can designate a different location for a second copy when importing.

    1. Check the mark a second copy of box in the management of the files Panel and choose your external drive in the menu drop-down
    2. Then you set regular destination of Lightroom in the Destination panel.

    However, if you mean that you want in the foreground images in Lightroom, but have them physically located on an external drive, then all you need to do is choose this drive in the Destination panel. Lightroom Catalog can be on a different drive.

    I find it useful, however, to use the automatic backup in file management Panel in case.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

    When I plug my portable hard drive to the usb port it does not read and display the contents...

    Hi deaza,.

    Ø Have you connected the USB hard drive to the computer directly or you have used an external USB hub to connect?

    O trying to connect to another USB port to check if it works?

    O the hardrive shows in windows of the computer when you connect it?

    Method 1:
    If you have installed security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and connect the USB and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable the security software after checking.

    Alternatively, you can try to plug the USB key into a different USB port and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    I suggest trying to launch hardware and troubleshooting of devices and check to see if it helps, here is the link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-to-do-when-a-device-isn ' t-installed-correctly

    Method 3:
    If this does not help, then follow these steps:

    (a) remove all your USB devices. Use the safely remove the feature to turn them off.

    (b) open Device Manager and navigate to the section for USB. Uninstall all USB drives. There should be one for each USB port, and then restart.

    To open Device Manager, go to the link below and follow the steps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

    (c) Windows should re - find all of the devices. If it is not the case, note the error message and let us know.

    You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to install the USB device.

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  • Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

    Hi all

    For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

    I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

    But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

    Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Diana

    I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

    For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

    (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

    Make sure that Time Machine is running

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

    If it isn't, then click data under available disks

    Then, click on disk use

    Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

    Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

    After the return when you have confirmed that this is the case

  • I lost my key synchronization when my hard drive was erased, so, how can I get a new key for synchronization without deleting my data backed up?

    I have synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could the reupload if ever my computer wiped, so I don't have a second device with the touch of synchronization on this subject. I made the mistake of recording only the sync on the computer key. I just got my computer back to the shop and they erased my operating system without asking. Now, I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my account synchronization requires that I have change the timing key and delete all data saved on the server. How can I access my data?

    Sorry, without your key to synchronize your data worth anything, it is impossible to - encrypted, and create a new synchronization key he will wipe away from the sync server.

    BTW, the Firefox sync service is not intended for "backups", it is supposed to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices." Any chance you have more than one device with this sync account configuration? If so, you can use the sync this device key.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.
