To move the library continues to be the library system hard disk

Hello everyone,

I would like someone to help me with this question. I've migrated the pictures opening. My library as subject of 70,000 photos.

Everything went well. I imported the photos keeping referenced masters to na DHM (external hard drive). But, as I wanted to access all my library in the devices of ohters (Iphone and Ipad) that I bought the 1 TB Icloud.

I noticed that I had 2 thousand pictures consolidated and referenced 68,000.  Then only 2,000 photos are ok to download.

And there is the first question. It takes too long to download and photos do not appear on devices! Is this normal?

Here's what I thought:

I move my library to an another DHM (os Journeling) and consolidate all the photos. Then I will download them all to the ICLOUD. And this way, I'll have all the pictures in all devices.

But my concern is the following.

I tried this.

I copied the actual library to na DHM and deleted in the MBP and open PICTURES. I expected that PHOTOS recognized the library the library even only in a different location. BUT ISN'T. Photos 'think of it as a new library and not the photo of system library.

Is it possible to move the library and continuing to be photography libray system?

Help me please.

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to move the library and continuing to be photography libray system?

You can set the photo library of the system in Photos > Preferences.

Double click on the library on your external drive to open pictures. When the Photos is running, open the Photos > Preferences > General.

Click on the button 'Use as Photo Library system'.

If this button is gray, fine - the library is already the photo library of the system and you can activate iCloud photo library for her.

If you want to use the library with iCloud, the disk must be formatted correctly.  You can use a hard drive with iCloud photo library, if the file system is Mac OS extended (journaled).

  • Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

    I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

    So currently I have:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

    With the new player, I want to:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

    I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

    Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

    I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

    I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

    When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

    -Old Version of Windows

    -Windows 7 Professional

    Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

    Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

  • Using the service 'Release hard disk': some pictures of stay in "Update the Photos to reissue", even if I publish it

    Hello

    First of all please excuse my bad English. [I am french :-)]

    I have 2 different problems with pictures in smart albums used in a service of "Publish on hard drive" [Publication of the Service of hard disk] :

    -some of them stay in the section "Updating the Photos to republish" ['Changed to republish photos'] even when I publish it. The published photo is created and saved on my hard drive, but the picture goes to the section "Published photos" [published Photos by] for a second and then go back to the section "update the Photos to republish. To move back then in 'Published Photo', I need to use the "mark as up to date" [mark as updated] option in the right click menu.

    d ' other hand, some ot them (maybe the same) are still stuck in the section 'photos Publised' even if I do some changes (adding keyword, change some options of development...).

    In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

    Hello

    ·         Will there be any changes made before this problem?

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: Check the hard disk for errors.

    Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a risk of data loss you can take a backup of your files before you run the disk check.

  • How to move the original system to the SSD newly installed without an optical drive?

    I want to buy a W530 and spare SSD upgrade.

    I want to order one without a DVD player.

    How to move the system of origin, drivers and other software for the SSD newly installed without an optical drive?

    Hope someone could help me. Thank you.

    The two utilities that I mentioned manage alignment automatically. Also, I photographed my hard drive, then restored the SSD. I have no clone, which means a direct copy of the HDD to the SSD.

    I just went through this myself in July, using Acronis True Image 2012 to get my existing on my 256 GB SSD mSATA HARD disk image. It worked like a charm. I checked that the SSD has been properly aligned.

    See:

  • Move the computer system to a new disk

    I have a 6 year system, I built and it's time to upgrade.  New system uses MB P9X79Pro Asus with Intel I7 3930.  I want to take the drive system (SDS) from my old computer and install it in the new computer, and then upgrade to Windows 8 Pro on the new computer.  The SDS Vista OEM of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.  Can I unplug the old system and plug the other, or are there other necessary steps?

    The Windows 7 Home Premium is a full version license?

    If its a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade version, move the drive to the new computer will invalidate qualifying OEM Windows Vista Home Premium, which in turn invalidates the license upgrade and it disqualifies by Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

    You need a Windows 8 Pro full version license.

    There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

  • Help remove the 2nd virtual hard disk!

    I have implemented a new backup system and a desire to free up space in my store of data, how well to remove the 2nd hard drive on my virtual machine?

    Also I had some bad snapshot at the beginning and it look slike I have still some files that I want to be condensed in one. I will provide you a screenshot. How to get back those files in a vmdk?

    Very basic, but google has not been my friend for answers.

    Thank you very much!

    What you say about support for fixing the issues, I agree, the files may be orphaned. The best and safest way to know about it, is to take a look at the current vmx file to see what vmdk files are attached to the virtual machine (you can also see this in the GUI). You can also search the last instant vmdk files vmware.log file. If they are not listed, you can manually delete the files. I would recommend that you also remove the vmsd file in this case.

    If you are not sure, stop the virtual computer, create a subdirectory in the data store and move the orphaned files to it. Then turn on the virtual computer. If there is no error, you can safely remove the new subfolder with the moved files.

  • Removal of the catalog is also the removal of hard disk

    I have a problem. So far I had a catalog. Now I am creating 2, one for the family and the other for other stuff. I tried to delete only from the catalog so that I can download it again the images in the new catalogue. However, when I check using Explorer, the files do not exist! I don't HAVE NOT check box to remove the images from the hard drive. Also, I tried to move the photos within the PSE10 Organizer. But that's just the visible images in both. What should I do? Fortunately, I have backups and I did it only to a few.

    A test, if you use the thumbnail view, deletion of the catalogue only works as it should?  (It's here).

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
    Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

    Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

    Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

    What to do?
    Well, I think that you would need new control disc.
    You can do so here:

    AFAIK, the chipset drivers are responsible for the usb, esata functions but you already reinstalled it. Have you tried to remove the chipset drivers in Device Manager and reinstall again? If still does not solve your problem, it may be the operating system itself. Using the preinstalled operating system or Windows disk?
