• moving video files on external hard drive

  I recently added a 1 to. external hard drive. I saved my documents etc.  Now, I'm moving all my video files from my lap top to my drive hard ext.  BUT!  A message keeps coming up saying I don't have enough disk space. There are still 931 GB of free space on the disk hard ext. Can someone help me to overcome this problem.

  Just a guess...  How is your external hard drive formatted?  For information, right-click on the drive and select "Properties".  There will be a line of "File System".  If the file system is one of the types of FATS (for example FAT32), then the maximum size of a single file is 4 GB.  If you have files larger than this, you will need to reformat the drive to "NTFS".  The procedure to do this is here:

• Moved files on external hard drive cannot find my changes in lightroom

  I use Lightroom 4 on a Mac.
  I moved recently all my photos on an external hard drive, and nothing I've read yet could help move my images edited in Lightroom.

  In lightroom, beside the heading folder I clicked on the + and added my external drive - it shows it's Green and alive.

  All the pictures I had initially recorded on my Mac hard drive are now showing on external drive - good.

  In lightroom, the subfolders in my Mac hard drive are now show with question marks that files are missing - who they are, because they are now on my external hard drive.

  What is my problem, all the editing I did on these photos in lightroom before is now gone. How do the editing work I had done on these photos to appear on the external hard disk images? If I look at my pictures on the hard drive of the Mac, they show they have faded and disappeared, but it shows all my changes again on the photos. External hard disk, it shows the original version of the image with no changes made.

  Note: I backed up my computer before moved me all my photos, so if I need to put them on hard drive on my mac, I am able to do.

  Update

  I have solved my problem. If someone comes across the question I was trying hard, I suggest to try move the files from WITHIN lightroom.

  Initially, I had used my OS to move my files to image on an external hard drive, by simply drag and drop. Lightroom was not able to keep the editing I did on these pictures after that that they were moved. I restored a backup on my Mac and place the files in their original location. Then within the lightroom program, I was able to move the folders from photo (with modifications) on my external hard drive.

• Mac &gt; Windows 10 - moving pictures on disk external hard drive C: or?

  First time Windows user; not much experience with LR/PS/cc.

  Before selling my MacBook, I have all my files photo copied on an external drive. I just built a Windows PC and want to copy files from the external drive to the C: drive.

  In the file browser, I see the external drive, drive C:, and "This PC', a section called"Images ". In this framework are three files: Camera Roll, Lightroom, the recorded images. In "Lightroom" is: Lightroom Catalog Previews, catalogue Lightroom, Lightroom Catalog.Ircat.lock, Catalog.Ircat - Lightroom journal.

  Just downloaded PS and LR and the preceding must have been placed on my computer during the download.

  My question is where can I copy files to my external drive to? One of the above or on the C: drive?

  Thanks for any help/suggestions.

  I would certainly put pictures on the external hard drive. There is virtually no advantage to place them on the C: drive, and they don't take up much space.

• Backup of Assistant - Placement of files on external hard drive (WD Passport)

  I've recently backed up all my photos, videos and music files on an external hard drive (WD Passport) using the Microsoft Backup Wizard.  In the past I had used WD Sync or Dmailer Sync, but I wasn't able to find my files anywhere, don't know why. If anyone knows why let me know, but my question is...

  When Microsoft Backup Wizard saved my files from my PC to my external drive it placed the files in an array of files (backup folder 1, Folder 2 Backup, etc.), then you must go through a table of records in the records to access my files.  Files were not arranged in the same folders/fashion as they were on my PC. Is there anyway that I can do so that I can find my files on the external hard drive faster or easier?

  Any information would be helpful.

  Thank you very much.

  Unfortunately, this is how Microsoft Backup works under Vista.  If you need to do a restore, it should bring it back to their original location (not all jumbled up like they are in the backup).  I do not know why this happens, but that's what we have to live with this product.  Products Microsoft Backup (in pretty much all of them) are not the best on the market and have quite a few gaps which we hope will be addressed in the future and updates or distributions.

  A lot of people don't like Microsoft Backup and Restore Center and choose a 3rd party product to make backups (I don't - but have judged several times when I encounter problems or read on the problems here in these forums).  The one I heard most frequently recommended (and recommend) is Acronis True Image http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  I don't know it it solves this problem, but it comes with a free trial version so you can check for yourself without any risk.

  Regarding the search for your missing files for WD Sync or Dmailer Sync, if you know the names, we do a THOROUGH system search (a regular search search locations and file types in the index, and they may not be there - have you checked all the programs to see if they made an entry there for their backup functions).  Here's how: to search the entire C: drive under Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, is not a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but this is how it is done under Vista (and it does not search the entire disk).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
