moving to an external hard drive images

I'm trying to drag my catalogs of ^ C ^ to my external hardrive in lightroom.  When the cursor is placed on the external hard drive, he turns to a circle do not allow me to do. I've done this process in that way before. Nobody knows what is happening. Why I can't drag and drop more?

I don't know, but I recommend that you use Lightroom to move photos from one disk to the other for this reason rare but catastrophic bug: moved the files in Lightroom 2/3 flat disappeared?

A much more secure way to make this gesture is also discussed and explained.

  • RAW files missing changes after moving to an external hard drive

    Hi, I use lightroom 4 and I cleaned a part of my images on my laptop and then exported in JPEG files. My hard drive has started to fill up, so I moved all my files on raw on an external hard drive but now when I come back to make adjustments to these images it tells me that the file is missing. How the raw return file so that it shows the changes I made?

    The changes should have been stored in the catalog file or in an XMP Sidecar file. Also moved the XMP Sidecar files. These XMP files can be marked as system files in OS X, and unless you have show system files (which, with OS X for that option and turn it you may need to use Terminal), and or display all files, Finder can hide on your part.

  • 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.

  • Problem moving iTunes to external hard drive

    Hi my old laptop (works on Windows Vista) think that all my music is located on the way on my c: drive by default, in fact, all my music is on my external hard drive. I know how to change the path via the preferences on my hard drive, but how to import my music without creating a massive amount of duplicates? Thanks in advance for any help.

    See make a library of portable split. If your library is in the standard layout and that you moved the folder media manually, then move the main iTunes folder to the root of the drive, put the inside and shift-Start iTunes media folder. This must be equivalent to a simple move of a portable library.

    Otherwise, see this post - Re: iPod doesn't sync not all -advice on the reissue of links the library to the media outsourced. Ideally, you would set things in a provision of mobile as part of the same process to make sure that the library on external drive is ready to connect to any computer replacement. You should also backup to a second drive.

  • models of 5 and moving animation on external hard drive

    I have a video project created at the FCC. I used a movement 5 for a text within the FCP model. I need to move on an external hard drive for a customer. I consolidated and moved the PCF files to the external drive, but the model came not during. Just the red screen with exclamation point. I guess it's a problem of linking somehow, but have been pulling my hair out trying to figure how to recover the text. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    Animation models are separated from the material FCPX, effects and patterns. Look in your user/films/Motion models folder. You can copy it to the external hard drive, but it will need added to the model Motion record the new hosts. You will also need the fonts used.

  • Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

    I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

    Thank you!

    (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

    It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

    If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.

  • Macintosh HD disappeared from records while moving files on external hard drive

    Just as the title says.  I moved files in LR this morning of an external HD (created the new folder, drag / drop individual files to new folder HD) and after adding a large folder of photos (about 1/6 of my size of the entire catalog), the task is completed and my main Macintosh HD folder disappeared.  The files are still on display in large "all photographs" under catalog at the top and the files are still on my computer.

    Someone knows how to get Macintosh HD to reappear under folders, so I can move the remaining files of the photo the external HD?  I would rather not move them outside of Lightroom.

    Thank you!

    I've seen two similar situations like this in the last week or two, someone solved the problem simply by rebooting the computer.

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

  • How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • Moving Image plus external hard drive portable hard drive

    I am not anything change in my system.  I use windows 7 and will continue.  No change in the elements version (10).  Please give me a step by step instructions on how to move my pictures from my hard drive to an external hard drive (it won't be a return to the top) but the primary locaton for my photos.  I'll keep the program items on my computer and when I want to work on my photos or download more pictures from my camera I'll connect the external hard disk.

    My questions are to be read in your writing

    When I drag and drop my photos I look at my pictures in the elements Organizer?

    No, there are two ways to see your folders PSE11 and PSE12: I have PES 10 it would be the same?

    By default, it's point of view "my images". It shows a simple list of all the files containing the images recorded in the catalog; the entire record of the last level, without the Organization of the tree. You may have missed (like many, many users... Yes I guess I certainly missed this cause I can not find even today) the window of 'Images' you get by clicking on the little yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures". You will see all of your folders and subfolders, all your different disks. It is very close to the Windows Explorer folder view, and you can do most of what you would do in Solution Explorer.  This 'my images' am I looking at?  In windows 7 or when I'm in post-secondary education?  If in windows 7 and I watch 'my pictures' I don't see the yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures" I don't see such a thing in the element in the Organizer either.

    You will understand better if you take the time to play with the 'Photos' mode, where you can reduce or expand subfolders or do a right click to view 'show all files' when they are reduced.

  • Mac > 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.

  • Lightroom CC - edition in the external editor with images located on the external hard drive problems

    I have recently moved most of my image containing folders on external hard drive. In general, everything works smoothly in Lightroom (running latest CC). However, if I try to use an external editor of in Lightroom, I managed opening image in Photoshop CC if it is chosen. However, if I try to edit in a NIK Collection programs (i.e. Viveza 2) or affinity Photo I get error messages. The copy of Tiff is generated within lightroom, but at the spearhead of the external editor the following messages are met...

    • Viveza 2 - 'News file. Plist could not be opened"
    • Photo of affinity - "'could not open the file - / Volumes/4Tb iMac/2015-10-20-202036/Macintosh of the castle of my book 2 Backup/Backups.backupdb/Neil HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Plug-ins.localized/Photoshop Filters.localized/Unsharp Mask.aip/Contents/Resources/he.lproj/InfoPlist.strings the file type is not supported.". " My external backup drive is " " " 4 TB my book 2 backup" but my images are on an external drive called "4 TB My Book 1" ".

    However, if I move the folders containing images of problem on my desktop (iMAC 27 2015) in Lightroom external editor command change... works very well. The images open with Nik Collection and Photo of affinity and save in Lightroom when save. Everyone knows about this problem? And if you have, is there a resolution?


    Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

    Looks like I solved my problem with Lightroom. I disassembled my external backup drive, but upheld the disk external drive containing the photos up and then restarted my mac. After the reboot, I open Lightroom and chose the image on an external drive for mounting in affinity Photo and Collection of Nik. Both image successfully opened in editors. I reassembled the backup drive and rebooted time machine and repeated the same opening picture in external editors. Once again, works great. Have no idea where the original problem. Looks like a bad path was stored in a config somewhere file.
