    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.

  • Transfer iTunes library to a new external hard drive.

    I did a few years back, but as for the double control procedure to ensure I would correctly.

    My iTunes music library is stored on an external hard drive. It's almost to capacity, if I want to transfer the files from current music on an external hard drive more.

    I don't want to "lose" my preferences iTunes, settings etc that I have playlists, ratings and other data.

    I understand that the first thing is physical copy music files to the new external hard drive.

    What is the procedure to then "point" to the new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    Copy the iTunes folder whole, not only the media, on the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key, choose this library and keep a backup on a different drive of it.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    Hello Honduras1,

    Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

    See you soon

  • External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

    Hello

    I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

    The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

    How can I get my hard drive appears again?

    Thank you

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works...

The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • I bought a new external hard drive, but it does not appear in the library mode.

    One of my external hard drives is almost full. I would like to move some of the photos from the old to the new one that I just bought. The new external drive appears in Windows Explorer, but does not appear in Lightroom.

    I use Windows 7 and Lightroom CC.

    Hi Loyce1023,

    In order to see the most recent external drive in Lightroom, you must either import some images of the most recent disc.

    Or move some images of the old drive to the more recent, outside of Lightroom, and then reconnect the images from Lightroom.

    Kind regards

  • External hard drive not in my computer

    Hello

    I have a question on my external hard drive. It's a drive hard 2.5 "of Toshiba (1 GB).
    I used it already for a long time on my laptop (WINDOWS VISTA) and it worked perfectly until today. I plugged in my hard drive as
    usual and it does not appear on my computer. I looked on the internet and found something about research
    Start - Run diskmgmt.msc, (uitvoeren) - so I tried.
    He showed the next thing on my HARD drive:
    Disc 1
    Unknown
    931,51 GB
    Not initialated (niet geinitialiseerd)
    Unassigned (niet toegewezen)

    I didn't know what to do, so I tried some things. I pressed the right mouse button and he said "initialize disk". I pressed on it and he gave me 2 choices: MBR or GPT.
    I tried both, but they both said: data error: Ketal redunatiecontrole.
    So, I tried something different. I pressed the right button of my mouse again but this time on the black bar beside the disc information. He said "New simple volume", but I dared not go further because I didn't know if I would lose my data or not, if I would. Also, I didn't know how big the new volume should be.

    He also said that the device works properly when I press 'characteristics '.

    I don't know what to do now, and also I don't want my files to be deleted.

    Can someone help me?

    (Sorry for my bad English, if I write it in Dutch because you do not understand my problem, please tell me ;)))

    Can you please test it on another computer just to be sure, the same thing happens again?

    When you connect you hear beep sounds when the new device is connected?

  • external hard drive not mounting

    Here it is the end of the year and one of my external hard drives (1 TB Iomega MacMini) decided to not mount on the desktop of my MBP 15 "

    (in early 2011).

    I read a few posts on ways to remedy by making the Kext Utility application, reset the SMC, disk repair/first aid utility, using different cables/ports.

    test another external hard drive (which is mounted using FireWire 800) etc...

    When I look at the MBP in the system report found in 'about this Mac' sees the external hard drive, that I'm putting and yet this car is not editing.

    The Iomega hard drive light flashes and there is power and the whirring of the drive, so that it seems the unit working on it of own but is no longer connection

    on my desk.

    I have Time Machine on two external hard drives, but has a reader is slightly larger than the other, the information stored on both devices is slightly different.

    So, if I can get access to the data from the Iomega hard drive and save it, then I'll be a happy camper and will update to another external drive.

    For now, I hope some of you can provide advice to solve this problem.

    I booked time at the Genius Bar, but nothing is open until next week.

    Looking forward to responses and wish all a happy new year.

    If so, try it on another Mac.  Don't rule out the possibility that the HARD disk is dead.

    Ciao.
