My Ext HD gets full. How to move my files containing all original photos for a new HD Ext.

I use LR 4 and the Ext HD is full that contains all the photos. How to move to a new HD Ext. I can't take any chances, I have a lot of images. Thank you. I am running Mac 10.8

Can be done in Lightroom, but some recommend this method.

1. close Lightroom,

2 COPY the FILE MASTER containing all of your subfolders images for the new HD Ext Finder/Explorer or copy of the software, (using "copy", you can compare files to check that there is no corruption of the files being copied).

3. open Lightroom.

4. in the folder LR Panel-Right click your MASTER FILE and select "update folder location.

5. in Finder/Explorer window opens - choose the new location of HD Ext. LR will then reference your images here.

6. when everything works well from the new HD Ext you can remove the master file of the internal disk images.

7. do you have a second HD Ext to make a "Clone" of the new HD Ext as backup.

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

  • How to move a file to the rear using the Terminal

    Hello world

    I just recently started to learn how to use the terminal in OS X I learned how to move files from one directory to another, but I don't know how to move a file back again. Here is an example:

    (I'm already in the Desktop directory) In my office, I have a folder named "music" and a file called "algo.rtf". In order to move the "algo.rtf" file in the "music" folder, I type the following command: "musica algo.rtf mv / '. That works perfectly fine, when I check, the file is now in the new folder.

    But what happens if I want to move the file "algo.rtf" which is now in "musica" on the desktop? I can't understand. I tried the following:

    'cd musica' (so now I'm in the folder where the file is) and from there I typed: "mv algo.rtf Desktop /" (but then it is said; no such directory not found)

    I understand that he says no "found" because it is looking for a folder named "Desktop" in the folder named "music" and this is why it does not work.

    But that still doesn't help me much because I still don't know how to bring it back to "Desktop". If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very happy for your response!

    Thank you.

    Use:

    MV algo.rtf...

  • Missing originals after copying photos for a new mac external HARD disk library. How to fix this?

    Move the library of photos hosted on an external HARD during a new mac disc.

    I can open the app and import new pictures, but I can't change any of my previous photos because he complains that the original is not found. The "Use as system library" button is gray which implies that the current library of photos on the new mac is defined as the system library.

    I still have access to the external HARD drive that I imported a couple hundred new photos for the new mac.

    How can I fix?

    How did you set up your library.  You use a library "referenced"?

    If Yes, then you have lost the links with the original files.

    You have the iCloud library enabled in the preferences of the iCloud photo Panel?

  • How can I individual files contained in a llb file md5 sum?

    How can I individual files contained in a llb file md5 sum?

    I'll assume you know how to get the value of MD5. If it isn't... http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/MD5/m-p/1067558

    The LLB acts as a container. So, you will need to extract the files of the LLB and save them as individual files, so that you can calculate the MD5 checkusm for each file. LabVIEW is a built-in LLB Manager which can be used to convert a LAW degree to a directory of files.

    Note: If you use the LLB to store your screws during development, it is a BAD idea (control of source code, a file corruption problems corrupts all LLB, nightmare of development distributed, etc...). LLBs must be used for the distribution of the code, and if you need a MD5 for that, you could just provide the MD5 for the Bachelor of LAW, rather than the MD5 for each file.

  • How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software?

    Original title: download embroidery files

    How can I download files from HUS and VIP for my Bernina Version 6 software? Currently, I'm only able to download ART and PES files.

    joydesigns.org (a HUS file extensions) and comcast.net (a VIP file extensions). I get a message that says "windows cannot open this file, use the web or select the program from a list". I downloaded supposed solutions to problems of conversion and lived to regret it. So, I don't know what I can do to download these special files.

    In your original post, you said you wanted to download files to use with your software Bernina HUS and VIP.

    HUS files are Husqvarna Viking embroidery files.   VIP files also are Husqvarna; Here is the Viking/Pfaff home embroidery Format.

    You have reason to believe that your Bernina embroidery software should be able to use the Husqvarna Viking files?

    On the site joydesigns.org, the design of the Dove who has the instructions "Click on the dove to go to the download page for design in .hus format" actually will download a zip compressed file if you click the icon ("FlyingDoleB.zip").  When you click on an image to download the file, you must select the option to save these files in a location that you will remember and then right click and select "extract" all to join the HUS of the file (not all downloads from this Web site are HUS).

    Once you have the file HUS, you right-click, select open with > choose program, then select your Bernina software in the list (or browse to its location in C:\Program Files).  If you check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" you can double-click on these files in the future.  Of course, it depends on software Bernina being able to recognize the files of HUS.

    VIP files on some comcast getaway site should be handled in the same way.

  • Noob question: how to move a file to a virtual machine to BACK?

    I have an old piece of software that I still need to run under DOS. (Believe it or not).  I managed to create a virtual machine with 6.22 running BACK.  AND, a few months ago, I managed to move files on the disk "C:".  But, it seems to me have forgotten one, and for the life of me I don't remember how I moved the files.

    So, I have a file on the host computer that I need to pass to the guest computer.  I traced the virtual disk to a drive letter on the host computer, but whenever I try to move my file, I get an error.

    What is the right way to do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Spencer

    Another easy way is to write the missing files in an iso and iso power of the virtual machine

    probably even easier, then using flps - like everyine is an application that can write CDs so creating isos is trivial

  • How to move data from the old hard drive to a new operating system, games, songs, vista etc.

    you want to install more hard drive. How can I move all of the data, os, games, music, etc.

    and have computer always starts.

    Hello

    You cannot move by themselves programs

    you need to reinstall it from the original media

    read this about moving everything, including the operating system

    or save your data and reinstall clean vista

    There are different ways to do

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

  • How to move data files from drive C to drive E in MS SQL Server 2005 used for hyperion

    Hi all

    We have installed Hyperion with MS SQL Server 2005. Hyperion 11.1.1.3 works well.

    But in the SQL server data files will register in C drive only. But we have to back up the files in drive E.

    I used the Attach and Detach method to move files from C drive to E drive.

    After that, I am reconfiguring the EPM system. but I get errors in the configuration.

    Now I get the planning of database failed when Confiuring planning.

    Configuration of data source interface has failed in the Configuration of EPMA.

    Please suggest the best way to make this scenario.


    Thank you

    Mady

    Why do you need to reconfigure after that move data files, if it is done properly it should be without data loss.

    See you soon

  • How to get Lightroom 3 to monitor a folder without moving the photos to a new folder?

    I put lightroom 3 to follow the folder which feeds my Eye Fi card for, but I didn't know how to do without also defining the 'change' setting... is there a way to do that at somewhat have bright room recognize when new pictures come here and not move them?

    No, there is not. The control must be empty when you start, and all the photos came out as soon as Lightroom feedback here.

    What is the problem with the implementation of a special folder for this? If it is on the same logical drive as the final destination folder, no physical movement takes place - the directory structure just fits.
