• Move photos on external hard drive after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I have a lot of photos and have you run out of space on my MacBook.  After doing some reading, I discovered that I should be bale to move my library to an external hard drive, then the point of Photos to run from the external hard drive.

  I have recently updated to El Capitan, and as part of this upgrade that my photos have been migrated from iPhoto to the Photos.  I just checked the current location of my library and I found two.  One is named Photo library and which resembles the pictures one use which makes sense.  However, I also have a file called iPhoto library and it is listed as a library migrated under file type.

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  Yes, if you want to free up your internal disk storage moving two libraries of the iPhoto library you have migrated your external drive and the new library of Photos.

  The two libraries share the storage for the original images and previews.  As long as one of the libraries is always on the internal disk and using storage, storage is not released: see: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Drag the two libraries to your external drive, then double click the pictures library to open it in photos and test it. Once you are convinced that the copied library works well, you can delete the original in the internal drive.  Do the same for the copied iPhoto Library if you have installed iPhoto.

• Managing disks in Windows 7 does not recognize external hard drive

  It is a recent event. I backed up my computer only 45 days ago and it worked Ok. The same external drive has no problems with your Windows XP desktop.

  No other USB devices is facing this problem.

  Device Manager identifies the mass storage device (WD1140), as well as the USB controller.

  This utility cannot sort.
  It is not possible to change/assignment of a new letter to the reader as disk management does not identify her. I also tried to use the command-line (list disk)... the only disc that displayed is internal.

  I tried to change the USB port, without result.
  The operating system is Windows 7 Starter.

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

• Photos of deleted the external hard drive after updating Lightroom

  I just installed the new update.  Wish I had read some of the forums before hand.     Of the photos on external hard drive and I wanted to add them to the catalog.  After that I added to an existing catalog, I don't see pictures on the external hard drive.     If I click on the folder on the external drive, there is nothing in the folder.     If I unplug the external drive, I see the question mark by the photos.

  In addition, if I take the external hard drive and plug it into my laptop (Macbook Pro), Lightroom detects photos and does not watch the point mark.  However, I can not see the pictures on the external hard drive.

  Where can I watch, or how to find them.   This seems very odd.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for the reply Akash.

  I did as you asked.

  When to disconnect the drive and click on ""?, "it shows the external drive as the previous location."

  Where to plug the hard drive and search using the finder, that nothing is found.

  When I connect the drive, Lightroom see files and works normally.

  Lightroom sees the files if the external hard drive is connected which leads me to believe that they are still on the drive.    However, they are able to access by Lightroom.  I see nothing in the files on the external hard drive.

  This really baffled me.

  Kind regards

  useful for a response be searched; several answers may exist.

  You have this card?

  • USB - C Digital AV Multiport card

  Sometimes different adapters are needed; other times a hub with

  options, if you have more ports than the original; and all the

  would need primarily to use USB - C. Including the AC adapter.

  Not all power cards will allow the adapter 29W would be used; so

  Depending on the choice or availability of other versions, you can

  not be able to use the product. Also, not all USB - C for other type

  plug adapters are of equal or reliable quality. Check it out see.

  • Using the USB - C port and adapters on your MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) and later - Apple Support

  A memory stick requires no power to the rotation degree

  hard drives in external enclosures will be; so if these external HARD disk

  units have their own adapter, which should make a difference.

  And if so, you may not have had a problem. There may be other

  problem behind the situation you are facing.

  There is a built-in to the computer in his OS X; diagnostic test but

  that can't help if the problem is a device adapter.

  Don't know what else to say...

  Good luck in any case.

• Mac Mini does not recognize external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have a weird question on my Mac Mini. I have two Seagate to 8 external drives connected via USB to my Mac Mini (mid-2011 with Maverics). The discs worked well, but suddenly one of them will not be recognized by the Mac Mini.

  I connected the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and an old PC and it works fine and all files are available, but for some reason, my Mac Mini will have nothing to do with her anymore.

  It does not appear in the finder or disk utility. I unplugged the hard drive for hours and then tried to plug it back without a bit of luck. I restarted the Mac Mini on several occasions. I also tried to connect it to all the USB ports on the Mac Mini. When I connect it to the USB ports, there is no whisper sound indicating that it has started working. However, no sign of it on the Mac Mini.

  It's like the Mac Mini has decided to ignore the external hard drive, no matter what I do. Seeing this works on other devices, I'm fairly certain that the problem lies in the Mac Mini.

  I'm no expert, so any help will be very valuable for me. And if you are kind to help, please explain it to me like I'm 8 or 93 years old.

  Thank you.
