• Move catalog to new external drive

  I'm trying to move a large catalog (including photos) on a larger external drive.  I have "supported" to drive a third.  And then "restored" to my new drive.  But when I gp at file > catalog and that it points to the folder where I placed the restored catalog, the button OPEN is not enabled.  I can't get PSE8 to open the new catalog.  Help, please

  Thank you

  The "restored" catalog appears in the folder when you go to file-> catalog and select the folder containing the catalog 'restored '?

  What happens if you click once on the name of the catalog? The Open button becomes selectable then?

• If you move files to an external drive in PSE 7, are these backup files when you catalog backup

  My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes up less space on my hard drive, and more important, so my backups and restorations do not take as long.    Files are not to be modified in the future then why keep saving them?  If I move the files on an external drive using files offline, copy/move files on the removable disk will be backup items these files as well as files on my C drive when I backup my catalog?

  If not, can I move files to a new catalogue and catalogue of dangerous data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?

  Thanks for any help.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  When restore you to the original location on the destination computer, the fact that restoring average the same path where the files were on the source computer?

  Yes, the exact same path.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I used this option once when I saved on my XP computer and restored to my Vista machine.  It took me a long time to get rid of extra files generated by Vista.

  If you're moving from XP to Vista and your records are under C:\Documents and Settings\, Vista will create aliases to your user folders to maintain compatibility (since Vista has a different naming convention for the files of the user).  Vista itself will not create additional folders, but programs like the PES can be confused by having two different names for the same file.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I now store everything (files catalog and photos) in a folder with the same name under C:\ on both computers.

  As long as it is not under C:\Documents And Settings, then use the original location option to restore to the same exact path.

  The option new location / Restore Original Folder Structure will preserve your folder hierarchy, but create very long paths by adding in the root files, for example \users\ellis\pictures and it is difficult for many people to collapse these unnecessarily added files.

• External drive letters do not mount properly.

  Hi all, here is one for you.

  I have Western Digital external storage drives, I plug it on and use that I need different things.

  One of these if my software (Memeo) backup on a 500G drive.

  I've marked these drives so I know which ones are connected.

  It seems that Memeo is stuck seeing the drive letter (H in order to run backups here.)

  It's ok, but for some reason when I connect this drive to backup on the machine, it is no longer happens as (H.)

  He always default (I have and I can't it will come up with (H.))

  I realize that this all depends on which order that plug you into the discs.

  Note: I have an another external WD 4 TB of video storage and I noticed that this seems to be required on the (H car (or so it seems) adjustment.)  Event with this player not connected not I can't get any player to come as (H, but as soon as I plug the video storage disk (H appears on the right.))

  My question: is there a way to 'flush' or 'clear' this setting to hold somewhere on it.  Or do you have other ideas?

  I'm under Win 8.1 on a HP Pavilion Notebook of Ent.

  Thanks in advance,

  Change/assign letters to drive manually using disk management. Or at least the video player. Plug it, go to the management of records, right click on the drive and select "change drive letter and path. Choose a path of letter Z same key string, maybe. If the backup drive is not given then H, repeat the process and give it the drive letter permanent h.

  Make Disk Management-press the Windows key and x. easily choose disk management from the list.

• Can I keep the CS6 programs on an external drive for future use?

  The hard drive of my MacBook Pro is almost full. I do not use most of the CS6 programs I have. I want to move them to an external drive. (I think they can be stored there already using Time Machine). Can I do this and uninstall them to free up space? I just want to later, in case I need it.

• Why-letter from external drives gets changed in windows 7

  Hi all

  Can someone please advise, why the external drive letters gets changed even after changing disk management in windows 7.

  He worked for two days and turns again.

  In Windows, each external storage device is assigned a unique ID (UID). That UID and the corresponding parameters are stored in the registry. The seetings include the drive letter assigned as well. If one of the drive letter is assigned to tell the reader, manually, after unplugging it, the same drive letter assigned to the drive B, the letter for the drive B. For example, if A player is connected again, a new letter is assigned automatically. You may notice that the drive letter for drive B cannot be used as drive B is disconnected, and yet the settings in the registry makes Windows assign a new drive letter to a drive, like the manually assinged drive letter B is allocated for drive B and the next time you connect player B the same drive letter is assigned, according to the registry settings.

• How can I move my LR catalog AND originals on an external drive?

  I use LR6 with a MBP 500 GB.

  I want to assure you that I have my LR catalog and its corresponding original files on an external drive. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  You move the catalog file and photos using your operating system on the new hard drive.

  You keep the folder hierarchy and structure EXACTLY the same on the new hard drive. Do NOT take this as an opportunity to "clean up" the structure of folders or to make things of a folder.

  You double-click the catalog file, and then reconnect the photos in Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing (see Figure 4)

• Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

  Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

  Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

  Thank you

  Jon

  You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

• How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

  I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

  Thank you!

  Marco.

  Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

  Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

  Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

  You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

• Movement music from itunes to a new external drive

  Hello!

  So there are a lot of questions in the face of this general problem, but I found no one who comes close to my situation.

  There are at present all music from my iTunes (~1.4 TB) library is shared between two external drives. I just bought a new laptop (3 TB) and would like to move - preferably not copy, I know that straight-up moving items between volumes is possible in the terminal, I don't know the right commands - all this music to the new drive. My iTunes Library.itl and the rest of the folder iTunes at the same time, are on my computer, I don't know if we keep them there or move them as well.

  I use any file "iTunes Media. Most of my library is rips of CD and downloads without loss, and I prefer to keep the organized myself (as including scans of records covers music and writing notes and other information about the record such as comments). "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy the files into the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is, therefore, both uncontrolled. And I think that naming a new file on the new drive as "iTunes Media" and then checking "Consolidate files" in the file > library > organize library to copy all the music she would keep the folder structure I created or transfer through the images, log files, PDF files, etc..

  Can anyone advise on what would allow me to do this with a minimum of disruption to my iTunes library (IE not having to add all and recreate all my playlists, etc., which, in itself, would take another hours 20, or whatever on top of the amount of time it will take to move all files?)

  Thanks in advance!

  OS X 10.7.5 / iTunes 12.1.2.27

  If you want iTunes to do the work (as expected), let iTunes do its work...    That would mean designate a location on the new drive for the iTunes Media folder (in the Advanced iTunes preferences pane) by using the command to "consolidate files" (-> library menu bar-> organize the library-> consolidate the files).

  IF all your current iTunes media on the external drive files are on a SINGLE volume (not two), you can copy your folder structure complete (for your iTunes media files) to the new volume of external hard drive (using the Finder).  Then with iTunes works DO NOT, unplug the old external drive and rename the new external drive exactly the same name volume as the old volume of external drive.  Basically, do the new disc looks like the old drive to iTunes.  When you run iTunes, the "routes" to its multimedia files are the same as before, so iTunes sees no difference.

  But since your iTunes media is 'shared between two external drives', you can't do it cleanly.  If a part is much more important, you could do the above with the majority only.  Now, at this point, you can use it in this way, with the new external drive as your main expansion of storage in course, and existing 'other' always connected player.  In iTunes, it seems again the same as before.

  If you want that all your media files to iTunes on the new external drive...  Copy this second folder (with your smallest part of iTunes media) structure to the new external drive (using the Finder).  With iTunes doesn't work DO NOT, unplug the 'other' external drive.  When you run iTunes, it loses track of media files in this part (but keep those songs with exclamation point in the library).  This next part may or may not work.  When iTunes spot is no longer a song file, when you try to play it, iTunes will ask if you want to locate.  I heard that if you do this for a song (by pointing to the new location for this piece), iTunes can extrapolate the locations for the other files 'disappeared' of the song.  If it does not work with the first song (or partially works), try to do it for a little more.  Worst case, you will need to add the songs in the smaller part manually.

• Import movies directly on an external hard drive

  I'm about to start on a project to import all the old movies video families and rather hard disk DivX wonder if it would be easier to buy a 1 TB hard drive and import them directly on the disk hard - the film is about 60 videotapes (1 hour each) - I use IMovie 10.0.5 - I did not update my version of IMovie as it appears that later versions have the ease of 'marking '.

  Thank you

  If you create libraries on an external drive any media imported into these libraries will be on the external hard drive.  For details, see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

• How to move or copy files from 'My music' on an external drive?

  Changed title: moving files with xp safe mode.

  I can only open my computer xp in safe mode. I have an external hard dr. Is there a way I can move or copy files 'My music' to the Dominican Republic hard.

  Yes, normally you can use an external hard drive in safe mode.

  Boot to safe mode and open Windows Explorer (double-click on my computer).

  You should be able to see the external hard drive, should be the letter E: or F: depending on how much other disks you have.

  You need to find the folder where your Itunes Music is maintained.

  "In Windows XP and Windows 2000, click the sign more next to the folders and drives to navigate. The default location is

  \Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents\My Music\iTunes Settings\nom.

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1364

  From there its all just find the folder, copy and then navigate to your external hard drive and paste.

  I tried to locate the itunes library file to try to move it, but couldn't move anything to my external dr (h) he brought under options in safe mode

  You should not try to boot from the external hard drive if that's what you do.

  Hope this helps
