Problem moving iTunes to external hard drive

Hi my old laptop (works on Windows Vista) think that all my music is located on the way on my c: drive by default, in fact, all my music is on my external hard drive. I know how to change the path via the preferences on my hard drive, but how to import my music without creating a massive amount of duplicates? Thanks in advance for any help.

See make a library of portable split. If your library is in the standard layout and that you moved the folder media manually, then move the main iTunes folder to the root of the drive, put the inside and shift-Start iTunes media folder. This must be equivalent to a simple move of a portable library.

Otherwise, see this post - Re: iPod doesn't sync not all -advice on the reissue of links the library to the media outsourced. Ideally, you would set things in a provision of mobile as part of the same process to make sure that the library on external drive is ready to connect to any computer replacement. You should also backup to a second drive.

  • Transfer iTunes to external hard drive

    I transferred my iTunes library on an external hard drive (Seagate).  I would like to transfer CDs to laptop so that I can do it again on one of my iPod tunes.  There is no option for ' send to ' iTunes from the external hard drive.  I tried several times and failed.  I can listen to the music stored on the external hard drive but playing something other than iTunes.  I installed Win 10 (big mistake, but too late now) so I guess it's to play through their music app.  I also tried to send to the device Bluetooth drive external hard, but that no longer works.

    I plan to replace my Samsung laptop with a Macbook Pro I hope in the not-too-distant future, but for now, I'd like to tell me if it is possible to transfer iTunes from external hard drive to my laptop existing back.  He drives me crazy not less because you have probably guessed I am somewhat of a technophobe.

    Thanks in advance.

    An iTunes library is an index of media stored on your computer that has been added to the library. iTunes has to know where the files are located in order to transfer them to your device. If the albums in question do not appear in your library and then use the menu file > add folder to library to add them, and then either make them slide to the device if handled manually on the base, or adjust the synchronization settings as required, and synchronize.

    See make a library of portable split to some general information about the layout of iTunes library. According to what you have copied where in the place where exactly, and what you see currently listed, you may want to shift-Start-iTunes and open the database stored on the external hard drive or maybe copy the whole folder iTunes from the outside to the inside, or you can create a library laptop from scratch on the outside, if there only your media.

  • External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

    I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

    Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
    error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

    So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
    gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
    Windows can not access the disk".".

    So is there any other way or option?

    Thank you

  • models of 5 and moving animation on external hard drive

    I have a video project created at the FCC. I used a movement 5 for a text within the FCP model. I need to move on an external hard drive for a customer. I consolidated and moved the PCF files to the external drive, but the model came not during. Just the red screen with exclamation point. I guess it's a problem of linking somehow, but have been pulling my hair out trying to figure how to recover the text. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    Animation models are separated from the material FCPX, effects and patterns. Look in your user/films/Motion models folder. You can copy it to the external hard drive, but it will need added to the model Motion record the new hosts. You will also need the fonts used.

  • Moved files on external hard drive cannot find my changes in lightroom

    I use Lightroom 4 on a Mac.
    I moved recently all my photos on an external hard drive, and nothing I've read yet could help move my images edited in Lightroom.

    In lightroom, beside the heading folder I clicked on the + and added my external drive - it shows it's Green and alive.

    All the pictures I had initially recorded on my Mac hard drive are now showing on external drive - good.

    In lightroom, the subfolders in my Mac hard drive are now show with question marks that files are missing - who they are, because they are now on my external hard drive.

    What is my problem, all the editing I did on these photos in lightroom before is now gone. How do the editing work I had done on these photos to appear on the external hard disk images? If I look at my pictures on the hard drive of the Mac, they show they have faded and disappeared, but it shows all my changes again on the photos. External hard disk, it shows the original version of the image with no changes made.

    Note: I backed up my computer before moved me all my photos, so if I need to put them on hard drive on my mac, I am able to do.

    Update

    I have solved my problem. If someone comes across the question I was trying hard, I suggest to try move the files from WITHIN lightroom.

    Initially, I had used my OS to move my files to image on an external hard drive, by simply drag and drop. Lightroom was not able to keep the editing I did on these pictures after that that they were moved. I restored a backup on my Mac and place the files in their original location. Then within the lightroom program, I was able to move the folders from photo (with modifications) on my external hard drive.

  • Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

    I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

    Thank you!

    (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

    It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

    If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.

  • Problem computer backup on external hard drive

    I save all my photos on an external hard drive and decided to back up my computer on the same drive, but he continues to stop at around 12%.  The message I got was: "Windows Backup skipped backup system image because one of the critical volumes is not having enough free space.  Free up space by deleting unnecessary files and try again. »

    Hello

    To identify the problem, try emptying the trash from the PC and the external hard drive. In addition, check the type of files you want to back up. Make sure that the file format is supported by your external hard drive. It would be better to list the model of your external hard drive to your answer.

    We will wait for her.

    Kind regards.

  • RAW files missing changes after moving to an external hard drive

    Hi, I use lightroom 4 and I cleaned a part of my images on my laptop and then exported in JPEG files. My hard drive has started to fill up, so I moved all my files on raw on an external hard drive but now when I come back to make adjustments to these images it tells me that the file is missing. How the raw return file so that it shows the changes I made?

    The changes should have been stored in the catalog file or in an XMP Sidecar file. Also moved the XMP Sidecar files. These XMP files can be marked as system files in OS X, and unless you have show system files (which, with OS X for that option and turn it you may need to use Terminal), and or display all files, Finder can hide on your part.

  • Problem with Lightroom and external hard drive. Files and folders deleted.

    In the classroom (8.1 windows computers) import us images that .dng files on an external hard drive using Lightroom.

    After the Lightroom, insert us the memory card containing photos and attach an external hard drive. (formatted to ntfs)

    We create a new catalog on the external hard drive and then create a folder as the destination for the images on the external drive as well.

    After passing to the newly formed catalog in Lightroom, we import the photos from the memory card to the external hard drive.

    Photos are present in the folder 'import' on the external hard drive after the end of the import, so checking with windows Explorer.

    After the closure of LR and disconnect the external hard drive of the computer, it appears that the newly created files and imported files have disappeared.

    We tested with an external hard drive in exfat. The same problem.

    There is no problem when you copy directly in Explorer windows of memory card files to the external drive.

    The files are not hidden. Tested on mac and windows.

    If you said that the photo files are on the external hard drive when you checked using Windows Explorer during the class? Is this correct? YES
    Then you go home and the files are not on the external hard drive? YES

    Well, it is a mystery, but there is no way that Lightroom can be the culprit.

    Is it the same for the catalog file, in class, he was present on the hard disk according to the Windows Explorer, and when you get home, is no longer on the drive? YES

    Same conclusions, it is not Lightroom.

  • Moving Image plus external hard drive portable hard drive

    I am not anything change in my system.  I use windows 7 and will continue.  No change in the elements version (10).  Please give me a step by step instructions on how to move my pictures from my hard drive to an external hard drive (it won't be a return to the top) but the primary locaton for my photos.  I'll keep the program items on my computer and when I want to work on my photos or download more pictures from my camera I'll connect the external hard disk.

    My questions are to be read in your writing

    When I drag and drop my photos I look at my pictures in the elements Organizer?

    No, there are two ways to see your folders PSE11 and PSE12: I have PES 10 it would be the same?

    By default, it's point of view "my images". It shows a simple list of all the files containing the images recorded in the catalog; the entire record of the last level, without the Organization of the tree. You may have missed (like many, many users... Yes I guess I certainly missed this cause I can not find even today) the window of 'Images' you get by clicking on the little yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures". You will see all of your folders and subfolders, all your different disks. It is very close to the Windows Explorer folder view, and you can do most of what you would do in Solution Explorer.  This 'my images' am I looking at?  In windows 7 or when I'm in post-secondary education?  If in windows 7 and I watch 'my pictures' I don't see the yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures" I don't see such a thing in the element in the Organizer either.

    You will understand better if you take the time to play with the 'Photos' mode, where you can reduce or expand subfolders or do a right click to view 'show all files' when they are reduced.

  • Macintosh HD disappeared from records while moving files on external hard drive

    Just as the title says.  I moved files in LR this morning of an external HD (created the new folder, drag / drop individual files to new folder HD) and after adding a large folder of photos (about 1/6 of my size of the entire catalog), the task is completed and my main Macintosh HD folder disappeared.  The files are still on display in large "all photographs" under catalog at the top and the files are still on my computer.

    Someone knows how to get Macintosh HD to reappear under folders, so I can move the remaining files of the photo the external HD?  I would rather not move them outside of Lightroom.

    Thank you!

  • How can I change the permission of my external hard drive from tours and write "without formatting?

    My Toshiba external hard disk format was automatically replaced Windows NTFS after I had plugged on a Windows PC. Therefore, the permissions of the drive changed to 'read only' to "read and write" after that I used on my Mac. It happened once before and I remember the engineer on duty in an apple authorized service center had solved the problem without format the external hard drive. This is not an option for me now as well, but all the solutions, I looked to say online that the formatting of the disc is the first step. Help, please!

    Install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac.
