LR CC: HARD drive externally using as "To do" folder between devices?

I've subscribed to CC, have not yet taken the trouble with Photoshop that LR has a tendency to fill all my needs.

My main PC is the whole catalogue LR and where I do most of my "good" editing. However work recently gave me a 4 Surface Pro which is great for editing basis, review of bits and other parts.

I know that I can use the Mobile with LightRoom app for Smart insights fast flag/reject the workflow and changes Super Basic, but I was wondering how to work better between the Surface and the PC.

I have a "To Do" folder that I dump basically pictures of directly at the exit, the camera and this is what I would like to sync between devices. I tried to use OneDrive for this but the download speeds are so slow (Sony A7R2 RAW are 86 mb each!) that it is not really valid.

Can I instead put the folder "To Do" on an external hard drive, photos of dump that and then point LightRoom at it? So when it is connected to the Tablet, I can make changes flag etc., then can plug into the PC and it still has all edits and flags saved against these files? The Mobile app also highlights that for Smart previews too? Once marked as "done" export to the main PC.

I guess I'll have to lock the drive letter, but it will work until I have pay for a disk HARD USB3?

The SSD would be probably faster for read/write operations when compared to a normal external drive, I use both, but to compare as long as I can do what I want to do!  I tend to not worry about performance, unless it does not analyze the long! I have a catalog with dates back to LR 1 in 2007 and have used various means between 2 computers over the years!

Now, I tend to use the temp, or the location catalog when you use the portable computer, which is the 12-inch MacBook with a little similar to the Surface Pro SSD. Good luck.

  • PC stopped recognizing 3.5 hard drive external Toshiba

    Hi all

    I have a 3.5/250 GB Toshiba hard drive external. I use Windows XP as my operating system and for some reason, my PC stopped recognizing saying 'USB not recognized '.
    It is supposed to be taken & play and I'm sure that I didn't have a driver, when I installed it.
    If anyone can help or has any suggestions, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Hallo Malc

    It is possible that you have removed the external device without using the option remove the device safely. Restart the machine and try again.

    Otherwise, you can remove all ports USB device manager and start option to add material on the list. After detection and installation it should work again.

  • href="file://f://myfile.ext would not specify the hard drive and use the same directory as my html file.

    When you use href="file://f://myfile.ext' it will open fine in Firefox 3.6.8. However, I wish NOT hard code hard drive and use the location of the same player if my html file that calls this href link.
    I tried to use href="file:///myfile.ext" and it does not work. I get an error message saying file not found.
    For ie browser I can just specify href = "" / myfile.ext "and it works very well."
    This is a simple html file that refers to several local files and I have everything on a usb key (IE my F drive). The memory stick will be sent to several people and their USB can be another letter.

    I found a solution to my problem. Found I could just specify
    href = "MyFile.ext" and he will see when he's in the same directory as the html code containing the reference. " No need for extra slashes!

  • HARD drive external (E :) hangs and then said: "Not responding" when trying to backup.)

    Original title: backup on an external hard drive

    I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

    External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

    Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
    You will see something like this:

    You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

    For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

    Ghost images (D :) - 93,13 GB NTFS - healthy (active))
    Data backup (E :) - 50,57 Go NTFS - healthy)

  • Is it possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition?

    Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

    On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

    TIA,

    Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

  • Transfer Media Player on a hard drive external?

    I run XP and bought an external hard drive to my music collection.  Is it possible to transfer the Media Player itself on the hard drive external?  I'd rather play on Media Player on those of the drive, that there is none.  Choose a record and that's all that you can play at the same time; No shuffle or several artists in one sitting.

    Any suggestions, anyone?

    do it on a computer that has the installed desktop - allows you to call this machine adminhost
    the portable hard drive is used inside a USB connected to this computer box

    Carefully follow them

    1. open the adminhost diskmanagement

    • find the usb drive and note that numero_disque uses it - say for example it uses disk3
    • Right-click on each partition and remove the driveletters are subsequently assigned

    2. open VMware Workstation as an administrator!

    • create a new virtual machine using option "I will install later.
    • Select Windows 7 guestOS
    • assign the same amount of RAM as the old laptop used to have
    • store the virtual machine in a path with enough free disk space - Let's E:\vms\laptop-import
    • When the virtual machine is created will NOT start
    • Remove the hard drive that has been created with the wizard
    • Add a new hard drive - select disk physical option and select the numero_disque looked you up in step 1
    • Select use "full disk" and save the vmdk as E:\vms\laptop-import\rawdisk.vmdk
    • do not start the virtual machine and close the station work

    3. open a cmd as administrator

    • CD in the WS install directory such as C:\programfiles\vmware\vmware-workstation
    • Enter vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - a help screen should be displayed
    • now type vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - r E:\vms\laptop-import\rawdisk.vmdk t 0 E:\vms\laptop-import\new.vmdk
    • a process of conversion should start now - let the finsih - this may take some time

    4. open my computer again

    • Open the virtual machine and modify virtual hardware
    • Delete rawdisk.vmdk and add new.vmdk instead
    • Start the virtual machine now

    5. look what he does at first start

    6 patch the drivers

    • start the converter 5 betaor a recent version of different
    • 'Configure the machine' Wizard and select the new virtual machine

  • When the wizard has completed successfully, you are finished
  • 7. If the converter does not... no problem - download or create a Windows 7 recovery CD and attach the vmx file to your next post

    However, in step 3 during the conversion process it stops at 27% and gives an error.  I've attached a screenshot of it.

    Thanks for any help!

    Wow - this XP is not really to be converted.
    It has set up a strong resistance ;-)

    Converter is a not - we tried to any version.
    Finally, I had to use a LiveCD MOA and install the vmscsi driver manually.

  • I need to reformat my external hard drive to use with Bootcamp?

    I intend partitioning very little hard drive space because I have 255 Gb solid state. I bought a seagate drive, because for the price, it has the best transfer rate. I intend to help if you are using windows. It would be nice to spend my money on a single external use. The drive must be reformatted for mac. I'm sure that means I can't use it for both, but I hope that I do not understand how boot camp and the work of partitioning. I hope that I can just reformat external use for mac and I can also use it in bootcamp with windows.

    If anyone knows how that might unfold, I would be grateful!

    Thank you

    J

    The Boot Camp drivers allow Windows to read the disc, but not write installation of MacDrive in Windows will provide write access.

  • Hello. I created an image of HD main on a hard drive external drive. It is: HD used 282 GB 320 GB, disk backup image has 251 gb. Is all backed up? Can anyone help on this? Thank you

    Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

    Probably not.

    Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

    You have not said what backup software you are using.

    I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

    These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

    Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

    If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

    P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...
