Photos app: Import Photos from the hard drive

Hello

I have a number too many photos on my hard disk, divided into several folders (albums).
When I try the import option, from the Photos App it shows me all the photos (3000) on my hard drive and I have to choose each picture to import.
It is a simple and hassle-free way to achieve by choosing just one folder to import?
Any help much appreciated.

raghavendralr, once you have your photos on your computer Windows 8 files, you will need to include the folder where you have your photos in the photo library so that the Photos app to see.  Then you should be able to use the Photos app to browse your photos.

To add a folder to your photo library, right click on the folder in the desktop browser, select "Include in the library" - "Images".  More details: in Office Explorer (to open it, press Win - E), expand the node for the computer in the left pane and continue to expand folders until you see the folder that contains your photos.  In the left pane, right click on the folder icon and select from the contextual pop-up menu "Include in the library" - "Images".

Return of the Photos app, click the thumbnail of the picture library on the home page, you should see the contents of your folder newly added shortly.

Alternatively you can copy/move your files in your existing images folder which is by default already in your photo library.  In the left pane of the Explorer desktop, expand libraries - images to see what files are in your photo library already.

Hope that helps.

  • My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

    I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

    My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

    My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

    I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

    There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

    Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

    I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
    Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
    I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
    You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
    As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

    In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
    My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

    But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

    Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

    Good bye

    Hi herikhi,
     
    Change the start of the base system (Input Output) BIOS setting to boot from the hard drive.
     
    Consult the manual of the manufacturer, to do the same thing.
     

    NOTE: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

    I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

    It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

    My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

    However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

    But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

    And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

    As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

    Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

    I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

    Someone at - it the same problem with me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

  • Can I remove photos from photos on the hard drive of my macbook, but keep them in iCloud?

    I just used icloud to "backup" 80 GB of photos that are on the hard drive of my macbook. I'm now able to remove them from my macbook without losing them on iCloud?

    All advice appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  • Qosmio G50 - repair windows from the HARD drive

    Hi all

    My laptop - QOSMIO G50 - needs a bit of cleanup, and I thought to reinstall from scratch.

    I know that I can use the "repair" function which is 'hidden' on the HARD drive that will get the pc to its original installation.

    But I have a few questions.

    1. I've upgraded to Windows 7 quite earlier. But if the built-in repair feature reinstalls the pc for initial installation, I guess I'll be back on VISTA and will need to upgrade to WIN7 manually?

    2. most important: when I got the laptop, the seller had installed, so when I started, the installation begins. Then, I had the choice to install the 32-bit version or 64-bit.
    I never expected to have 64-bit on the laptop so I chose 32-bit - and now I regret it enormously.
    Now, if doing so clean reinstall from the HARD disk, it will give me a choice between 64-bit or 32-bit new or if it simply with the 32-bit version, I chose the first time? Or can I do something else for you ensure that I get the 64-bit installed this time?

    Thank you.

    Lio

    Hey,.

    Important to know would be if you want to install Vista or Windows 7 now...

    If you want to do a clean install of new, repair function is also deleted or let's say the entire contents of the HARD drive if you reinstall Windows recovery disk Toshiba.

    Some laptops has been equipped with a function for 32-bit and 64-bit, and if you reinstall Vista from Toshiba recovery disc you will again have this option.

  • How to read the Notes of Apple recovered from the HARD drive has crashed

    I tried to use DiskWarrior 5 to repair the hard drive that crashed on the previous laptop I was using (Macbook Pro mid-2010 7.1) last year.  I was running OS X 10.9 Mavericks for sure, and I'm almost certain that I had updated to OS X 10.10 Yosemite at the time where the hard drive crashed.  DiskWarrior does not completely fixing the reader, but I was able to recover most of the important files that I needed back.

    The only thing that I still have to get back that I really wanted were my Notes of Apple (not sticky).  I could save a few files com.apple.Notes with these files:

    NotesV1.storedata

    NotesV1.storedata - wal

    NotesV1.storedata - shm

    I tried to add the .html extension and open it in TextEdit, and Safari, and I see a lot of code, but none of my actual notes.  I noticed at the top of the NotesV1.storedata file, it says: SQLite 3 format, which leads me to believe that SQLite might serve to open/decode what I so that I can actually read.  I don't know anything about SQLite except that it can be opened and used in the Terminal, and it is already installed by default on my current computer which is a Macbook Pro mid-2012 (9.1).

    Here's a sample of what I see if it helps.

    Someone who knows what I'm doing and who also knows what they are doing can give me instructions step by step on how I can open these files with SQLite in the terminal, or decode, or something.  And no, unfortunately I do not have a back-up hard drive anywhere, and I was using iCloud in time.

    SQLite is a database format.

    Your Mac must have an integrated tool to read these files, it's a Terminal command that has this manual...

    https://developer.Apple.com/library/Mac/documentation/Darwin/reference/ManPages/ man1/sqlite3.1.html

    If it's too hard, you can try an app like...

    https://www.sqlitepro.com/

    .. .or one of the many that are discussed at...

    http://StackOverflow.com/questions/100959/Mac-SQLite-Editor

    You must open the "NotesV1.storedata", you may have to search in different tables to find relevant data, the data will be broken so that the pieces are unique, it is usually how are structured databases, if you need everything intact (as dates change etc) you need to perform queries to retrieve relevant items. Otherwise, you can export in CSV or other formats via this application.

    I recommend you change the original & working on a copy, just in case you save the changes.

    I don't think that this database is encrypted, but it is possible so post back if all of this sounds like gibberish. Also keep in mind that the data should not have images or other multimedia files that can be put in place, sometimes they are kept in databases as files.

    Another option is to find the location that the Notes.app stores these databases in your user account, you may be able to place these copies & get the app to read. Ideally, you would have a similar version of the operating system installed to do this.
