Mobile file external to the internal drive

I have a folder in my LR library that coming from an external drive.  I would like to move all of these photos in a folder on my hard drive, so that when you work on these photos in LR I don't always have to have my external HDD plugged.  How can I do this?  I also want to make sure that I don't lose the many changes I already have photos in this folder...

Thank you!

In fact, you can use Windows Explorer or the Finder to move the folder. When you start the file that you moved to Lightroom is displayed as being absent. Right-click on the folder and choose find missing folder. Then all you have to do is show Lightroom where the folder is now located and everything will be in place.

Both methods work. I moved the files in Lightroom before and dropped in the wrong place and had then fits trying to get things straightened. So, I prefer to use Windows Explorer. But that's just my personal preference.

  • Save the files and format the hard drive?

    I have a MacBook 2012 mid pro and the hard drive fills up with data and applications, I don't want anymore. So I want just to format the drive and install a fresh OS x and only the applications and the data I need. Is it possible to just copy the folders with the data I want to save... on an external drive?... like music, movies, Documents... then format my internal drive and load El Capitan. When can I then copy these files on the original drive and have things work the same or improve skills?... when using Photos and iTunes and iMovie? I do not use Time Capsule... cause he will restore a bunch of stuff I don't want. Has any tried this? or have better ideas?

    Yes, you can if you wish. Don't forget some features such as the preferences settings will be not recorded, unless you know where to look.  As for iTunes and Photos you must register the complete library of media files.

  • Subset of files stored on the hard drive suddenly missing in LR

    My photos are stored on an external hard drive. My LR catalog is on my computer (a Macbook Pro). I upgraded LR 5 to 6 a month ago. No problems. I use LR a lot, and when I leave, I always save the catalog.

    For reasons that I don't understand not at all, Lightroom is suddenly not showing all records dating from February 2016 photo. That is, the pictures I imported before then are all present and reported in detail. But all the pictures I imported (and published!) of February at the present time are missing from the library. I checked the hard drive and the image files are still there.

    Of course, I don't want to re - import the missing photos (in thousands of them) and lose all my changes.  And I can't ask to Lightroom to find missing photos because they do not appear in the library. I am so at a loss for what to do.

    I'll never be able to understand what has happened to the latest version of the catalog, but I opened an earlier version and all missing records reappeared. I'm very relieved. I lost only a handful of changes.

  • Lightroom uses a library, or are files stored on the hard drive?

    So, Lightroom uses a librbary to store photos and any changes made, or it updates the disk image files?

    I had a Mac in the summer, but subsequently discovered that software Mac (iPhoto & Apperture) stores the images in a library owner rather than update the JPEG files on the hard drive. This makes it useless to me because I need to share files with Windows PCs, which means all the work done on the Mac it is lost (I know that I can export all images changed individually, but it is unfeasable). The lock-in Mac means also the backups are useless, because you need a Mac to read in the library of Apperture saved.

    While hoping that Lightroom is easier to use and allows you to share images on the platforms.

    Thank you.

    Or you can export the complete catalogue on an external drive and place it between the computers.  The catalog file is on the external hard drive, and all you have to do is double-click on it.

  • Remove the recovery drive and drive C on the internal drive of 2 2nd

    I installed a Kingston 120 GB SVP200S37A / 120G on my HP Pavilion dv7t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Professional.

    I took the cable USB and case provided with my package and plugged my old hard drive of 320 GB.

    Installed the SSDNow v + Series software and installed it.  At this point, I was happy to see my new Kingston 120 GB SSD and unplugged my old hard drive.

    Last week, I installed my old hard drive to 320 GB in my laptop.

    My current SSD is the C drive and disc HP_Recovery (D).

    My old drive is Local Disk F and Local Disk G.  Can I do this in a single drive?

    Is it possible for me to remove the HP_Recovery (D) drive then put it on to my second drive?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the second Bay of your laptop drive isn't bootable - this is true for all of the dv7 series, so spend the recovery Partition of your SSD HARD disk will cause any recovery attempt fails.  If you want to use a player of the second span, it can only be used for extra storage.

    To make the drive in the second span in a single volume, you must do the following - keep in mind that this will destroy all data on the disk.

    Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.

    For all volumes shown on the Second disk, right-click each in turn and select "delete the Volume.  When you are finished, you should have just "unallocated space indicated.  Click on this and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

    Once this done, your disk should now appear as a single volume when you look under the computer.

  • Problem with the internal drive of the Satellite Pro 100

    Problems to connect/activate my driver Toshiba Network Driver Intel Pro Wireless internal 3845A8G to my wireless router.
    I have a network connection to use my modem wireless network USB that came with the router, but I would prefer to use the internal modem that came with the laptop.
    I checked Device Manager and it shows the driver is working fine but there is no network connection.

    Would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    It's really weird that you describe. This "USB wireless modem" and the "internal modem supplied with the laptop" are really different things.

    So please clarify what you really mean, you have the following options:

    1 indoor modem on the telephone jack
    2 internal (wired) network
    3 internal network (wireless)
    4 USB stick (no wireless or lan),

    A I forgot something... ;)

  • Deinstitutionalized drive, my computer can not find the music stored on the internal drive

    I was recently released from the balance of PAYMENTS (Bureau of Prisons), and I gladly paid $25 for the reader deinstitutionalized. I got it in the mail and I am very happy with the improvements, however, when I plug it into the computer, the computer cannot find the music that I invested a lot of money.  The drive works fine.  I can listen to all the songs that are on it, but I can't find them with all software, including the software downloaded from Sansa. When I click on the player, in any program/browser, I get the same thing: the folders that are empty.  It saves space, but sees ALL files.  Many of the albums available at the bottom of the PYRAMID were incomplete and I want to "fill the gaps", but can not find the whites to fill.  Any help would be wonderful.  I paid my $95 (for the player AND have unlocked it) MORE about $1400 in the songs, so it's a pretty big deal for me to get access... Thanks in advance.

    My guess is, it is a question of USB MSC - MTP mode.

    Your drive may be connected to your computer in the title of one of the 2 separate USB MSC or MTP modes.  This is located under settings of the player.  (There is a 3rd option it, auto-detection, trying to connect under MTP mode but then fold in MSC mode, if necessary.)  Is the reason why it's important, files transferred to the Clip under a mode USB can only be seen by your computer when the computer is under this same mode.  And so, for example, if the songs are put on the player mode USB MSC, if you connect later under MTP mode, the computer will not see these files.  If you have set the player to one of the USB modes and always use this mode (MSC mode is the least problematic, in virtue of which the player is considered to be a USB key; however, MTP mode is necessary for files protected by DRM), you're fine.  If, however, you change mode, emits a "invisibility".  And if you're ready auto detection, the computer can change the modes on you without you knowing.

    And thus, better Board: turn on the player (recommended) MSC or MTP mode and stay there and stay away auto detection setting.

    And if you have been on a mode but want to switch to the other and to be able to see all of your files on your computer, set the player to the previous mode, transfer your music to your computer and delete them from the player, re - set the player to new USB mode and transfer the songs back.

  • I need help I downloaded music and the drive external on the C drive in windows media player and everything is now copywrited and unavailable

    I'm so frustrated.  I recently downloaded my drive external hard music and family video on my new computer on windows media player.  I have literally thousands of songs and it has been downloaded to the C drive, but when I try to play anything, an exclamation point is in front of each song and I am unable to listen to it.   Then a page comes from microsoft about copyrights etc. and tells me to download windows 7 (a dictation of direction page 17), but I have windows 8.  Please help me to release my music that I downloaded from the years of music collection.   Also, if I pick the music on the start menu, in that it sets my X - box and only 5 cd that I downloaded on this computer appear and I can't get out of the Xbox and would like to get out.  Thanks, Rachellynn5555

    The message you see seems to indicate that the music is protected against copying and that you can transfer a limited number of times.  This is common for music from many online stores.

  • Adobe PDF Ifilter 9 64-bit - files randomly on the C drive (no Cause found, resolution)

    Hello, I use the format Adobe PDF ifilter 9 64-bit on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. We have a problem where when Windows Search analyzes a PDF file that contains attachments in them, the PDF filter will extract attachments and create a "temporary folder" on the C drive that starts by ' A9 * ' for each attachment. On Windows 7, these temp folders are deleted shortly after, on Windows 2008 R2, it is not. This has been tested on several machines.

    I used ProcMon and notice that sends Windows 7 delete operations is not the case with 2008 R2. The process that sends the delete operation is the searchfilterhost.exe. I searched Google and found many people know this problem but with no resolution.

    Performed troubleshooting:

    ProcMon ran to see if Windows 2008 R2 sends operations (it does not) delete

    Activated for TEMP system environment variables (they are correct)

    Tested on several machines (easily reproducible)

    Reinstalled Ifilter 9 (same number)

    Indexed only 1 file with 1 file of pd with attachmetns (reproduced)

    Windows 7 always deletes the temporary files/folders

    Oh sorry. I was unclear in my question, I tried all of the following methods to change the key "reg"...

    1 using the regedit and trying to change just one key. => ' Cannot modify UseSystemTemp: error writing to the new content value.»

    2. then I tried again, run regedit "As Admin" even if I am connected with an account admin, with the same result.

    3. then I tried to export the 'Search\Gathering of HKLM\SW\Microsoft\Windows Manager' in a reg file editing and merging back-online "some keys are open by the system or any other process."

    None of these answers have managed.

    The last error seems to imply that another service or application is locked this key.

    I do not know how to find what he.

    No problem. I think that the warning means that you will not be able to use Undo to bring back the pictures and it will have to do it manually. There is no risk of corruption.

  • Unusable slow of the macbook pro at the start of the internal drive

    Hello

    A couple of days my macbook pro (mid 2012 13 inches) has become unusably slow. Nothing doing, even just by clicking on the desktop would give the minutes of spinning beach ball.

    To troubleshoot I tried the following:

    Safe mode: same questions, constant beach ball

    Apple Hardware Test (extended test): no found error.

    Booted in single user mode and drive repaired using fsck: I got the message 'volume (name) seems to be OK. "

    Finally, I started again in mac os x and the console have pulled up to see if I could find something.

    I found an online "localhost kernel [0]: disk0s2: i/o error." at the same time my problems began. Due to this I thought that my drive was dying.

    After installing a new disk and hang the old an external, I decided to start just to see what would become of the former.

    To my dismay, it worked perfectly, smooth as butter and no rotation beach ball.

    So I think that's not the drive that is at fault.

    What else could be the problem and how would approach I find it.

    Thank you

    I have the same problem on my Macbook Pro, which also runs on OS X Yosemite. and is the same model.

    It starts very well I can access my files for about 2 minutes and then it freezes and slows down just. This is for me the wheel of death of Rainbow forever, regardless of how long I left my Macbook on the race. I have nothing to cause this problem, he slowed down just in itself, but I can still access my files

    I tried to search for this problem on the internet, but there is no help for this issue at all or not so much information about it.

    Docking station opens, but Rainbow wheel does not disappear and the freeze continues.

    I tried both SCM and reset the PRAM, but that did nothing.

    Can someone help us? I would like it to go faster still.

    * UPDATE *.
    He seemed to have solved my problem!

    I left my Macbook to run while loading slowly after sign in about 20 minutes. Then all of a sudden the Finder came back and it seems to work fine... for now... give that a try.
