Project on external hard drive is missing! Help, please!

Hello, my name is Alex Randazzo, and Ive been working on this project for the past 3-4 years and I am within a month of a feature by 2 1/2 hour of finishing. I have the project saved on several external hard drives, but I spent last week working on the project on A external hard drive, is no longer only than the other drives.

I was working on my project, and all of a sudden a warning popped up message, warning THAT FCPX has detected a problem, exit FCPX now to save your project.

I left FCPX, I have encountered this problem before and have had no problem leaving FCPX and restarted with the result of everything being fine.
I did it once again.  But this time, when I opened FCPX back, my project disappeared! I don't know what to do!

The project is loaded in the timeline panel, but the project is empty.

The event is raising Dragons Movie0 and it is the only one who doesn't even have a box of purple and the star.

WWhat version? What OS? Close the application. Go in library bundle and place the flexolibrary file in the trash. Relaunch the application. If the database rebuild you will have to try to open a recent backup.

  • I need to move my pictures from internal to external hard drive... help please!

    Hello!  I use a MacBook Air OX Yosemite 10.10.5.  I need disk space and have already been warned that my drive is full.  I've immediately backed up using Time Machine.  I don't have that 4.94 GB of free space on 499,05 Go.  104.26 GB is GB 161,97 movies and Photos.

    I went to "Images" then "photo library" and touch "control C" then I opened my external HD (it is formatted for Mac) and click on "order V.  It seems that he just copied successfully.  I have verified this by clicking on each of them, then 'control' 'get info' and looked at the amount of GB each had and it's the same thing.

    My question is threefold > r: I did this right, it's the best way to ensure that all the photos and videos copied on correctly? and b: How can I remove my internal now 'photos' and use my hard drive every time I open pictures?

    and finally c: This means now that my photos will synchronize is no longer?  It's fine for me if they don't synchronize... I can do it manually, but I'm curious to know how it works if they normally go to all devices, but now is not on the internal hard drive.

    THANKS FOR MANY WHO ANSWER CALLS TO HELP ME!

    A. you did it right. You just had to copy the library of Photos to the new location, but do not delete the old library until you've checked out the new one does not work correctly.

    B. open the Photos while pressing the Alt key and search the photo library on your external drive. Choose and check that all your photos are here. After you be sure that you can remove your in-House photo library of the folder you stored it (usually the pictures folder).

  • external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

    Hello

    My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

    I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

    I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

    It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

    I use the last BONES of El capitan.

    Any guidance will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

    can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

    (also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

    the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

    Use with this hard drive inside.

    The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

    There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

    cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

    inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

    So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

    If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

    Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

    must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

    For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

    Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

    and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

    At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • external hard drive "went missing" during normal operation

    I usually keep my computer running most of the time, turn off updates (as they charge for this), or because of a problem that I get with my external hard drive. Randomly, professional Vista continues to recognize its existence. The hard drive is still plugged in, turned, and so forth, but he claimed not to be there. It is not even appear on the window of my computer... It is starting to really bother me, as can happen when I fell asleep with my laptop for background noise (music) and music will leave just about me or when I'm working on a project in Photoshop, and I can't access my images to use.

    I can't just scrap what is on the disk hard to reformat, it's almost his TB limit and I don't have the space to save a lot more information on my intern.

  • Catalogue of confusion after the removal of the photos on external hard drive. [was: help!]

    I tried to be smart and I bought an external hardrive to free up some space on my laptop.  I transferred all my photos to the hardrive thought that I would be able to work on these photos in lightroom, as long as I had the hard drive plugged into my laptop.  Well this is not the case apparently.  So I imported all the photos into lightroom from the hard drive.  With the hard drive plugged into the laptop I can access all my pictures, but the catalogs that I was editing have lost all their changes.  I tried to open the backup lightroom from yesterday, and nothing happens.  If I select one of my catalogs that none of the images are there, he also says missing photos.  So I tried to locate all missing photos, and nothing happened.  All the photos are in lightroom, they appear in the library under the external hardrive.  But I can't shoot in my catalogs and cannot roll back changes to the photos I was editing when I put all my photos on the external hard drive.

    Hi Amanda,.

    You get the workflow a bit confused here. It is hard to follow all of the steps you took, but I will try to explain the correct procedure.

    1. you have a Lightroom Catalog and all images in the catalog pointing to a location on the internal drive (ideally, it would be a series of folders under the folder of a high level, to make it easier to step 3 below).

    2. copy the image of folders containing images of the Interior on the external drive. You now have two copies of your images.

    3. open Lightroom and you should see all your images again. Open the files Panel and right-click on the top-level folder that contains all the image files (this is where a single top-level folder is priceless). Choose 'location of folder update... »

    4. navigate to the top level on the external drive folder and choose that. Your Lightroom Catalog is now oriented to the external hard drive.

    At this point, you can go on using Lightroom normally. You can copy, move or delete the images of your internal drive, because Lightroom is their use is no longer.

    Note that in step 3 above, if all your image files are not contained in a single top-level folder, you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4 several times, once for each top-level folder.

  • Mobile LR catalog for external hard drive

    I'm new and in the process of learning LR.  Currently, all my photos are stored and developed in my laptop, but it becomes too much for her hard drive.  I am thinkinng to move all of the LR catalog to an external hard drive.  Could someone please give me some advice how to proceed safely and also how to point LR to its new location, when I open the icon.

    Thank you very much.

    I am pleased to announce that the project has been successfully completed. Thanks to the advice of everyone. That's what I did:

    Some new pictures, asking them to be stored in a subfolder created in the new external hard drive G: has imported. This issue, namely "My LR Photos", is intended to store all my photos in LR in the future. I thought that this will force the G: drive is displayed on the Panel in my LR records. He did.

    Then, in the LR on the Control Panel folder, I moved each subfolder of C: drive for the new folder photo in G:. All photos moved smoothly with their predetermined data intact. None should be reconnected to the original sound.

    I relaunch LR several times to make sure it works and you have no problem at all. It seems to work faster now too.

    I want to thank all three of you for taking interest to share your knowledge and help me to do this without pain.  Best regards.

    Special note to JimHess: I really appreciate your conversation with dj_paige help air cake2 with his problem on another thread. I had a almost the same problem with my LR and worked it out well based on your and dj to air cake2 information.

  • 160 GB external hard drive of Gigastore is not recognized correctly

    Hi, hope someone can help me!

    I bought a 160 GB external drive Gigastore hard today, but the plug inside, the computer did not recognize it. In fact, nothing happened. I tried all the usual as control to see if it was in my computer and then right click my computer, manage, etc computer management, but again, she did not show. I tested it on another pc and still does not work. I'll put up the wires correctly, so this isn't the issue.

    When I turn on the power, the hard drive light constantly flashes blue. I would have thought that will be that the hard drive has been slowed down, that he would stay on continuously without blinking. Could someone let me know if this blinking determines that the disk does not just and it is indeed tired?

    Hello

    It seems that it s not a laptop fault because the other laptop or PC can not recognize the external HARD drive.
    Have you checked if some additional drivers or tools were shipped with this external HARD drive device?
    If please connect the HARD drive and use the Add Hardware option

  • I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

    How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

    An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

  • Setting up Lightroom to store photos on external hard drive

    I have a MacBook Pro with a solid state drive that does not have enough space to store my photos, so I want to put all my photos on a small 2 TB external HD Question: when I import my pictures from the camera card into Lightroom, how can I put and keep all the photos on the external hard drive? Can you please tell me how I created the HD to make...! I know that this probably isn't difficult, but I want to do it properly. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Setting up an external hard drive is really very simple, I think. Of course, it must be connected to your computer. When you open the import dialog box and begin to set up your preferences, you should see the external hard drive as one of your choices. You can select the external hard drive, and then choose to import your images into a subfolder that will appoint you. Then all you have to do is to import the images and they will be exported to the external hard drive.

  • Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

    Hello!

    I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

    http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

    Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

    http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

    I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.
