• Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

  Hello

  I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

  (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

  (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

  Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

  I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

• Can I use my old external hard drive after replacing SSDS?

  I recently bought a replacement of SSD for my hard drive.  A friend suggested I have get a box for the old man and keep it in a backup or extra.  I was wondering how difficult that would be, and I would be able to run applications from her?

  -Matt H.

  Yes, your friend is good, just buy a USB box for this and then you, it's like any other external hard drive. You can get these 10 pounds and more, but you get what you pay for.

  Simply open the screw in the naked reader, plug, close the case and you are done. It's very simple to do.

• After the upgrade to El Capitan I can't write on the external hard drive to NTFS format more

  I have an external hard drive formatted in NTFS, I used some Mavericks and could read and write on it without problem, after I installed El Capitan today I can't do more, not this external hard drive is read-only. The problem is that it is full of my data and I can't just format as journaled. What I can do and why it worked fine before?

  You need to upgrade or replace the software you used to write on NTFS volumes and should put a copy of your data to a second drive in case one you have fails for any reason unrelated.

• Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

  Cannot install external CD drive Vista
  Options
  ? 15/03/2013 15:03

  My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
  Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
  It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
  Not now, however.
  So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
  Which has resulted in these messages:
  http://wikisend.com/download/996858/20130313_160410.jpg
  and:
  http://wikisend.com/download/363738/20130313_171457.jpg

  Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402V30000R01NL.htm

  Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
  I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

  All solutions?

  In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
  Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

  The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

  In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
  Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

• can I use my main external hard drive as my hard drive

  can I use my external hard drive as my main hard drive as my internal is full and how to do it thanks

  Hi darrenmchenry,

  You cannot use the external drive as primary drive as the operating system files will be present on the internal drive.

  If the internal drive is full you can always use the external drive to install programs on the computer by pointing the disk as the location when you install the program and make sure that you do not disconnect the external hard drive if you have installed the programs on it.

• Can I install programs on external hard drive?

  Original title: external hard drive

  I need to free up space and my hard drive. Can I take MS Works off the hard drive, put it on an external drive and use it or is it related to Windows XP and prevent this use? Same question for McAfee, Adobe and other routines.

  Hello

  It depends on the program you are trying to install. Generally, it does not work. Check if t he program is written to install on a portable hard drive. MS Works will not work if you install it in an external drive.

  Hope this information was useful.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
