• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

• Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

  I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

  Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

  Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

• I just downloaded winows meïdia player 11 it won't import my music from my external hard drive

  Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

  The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• Boot from an external HARD drive via USB

  I have an 8200 Elite SFF and wants to start an alternative system (not Linux, but * NIX - like BONE) of a disk external DRIVE, connected via a USB port. My main operating system is WIN 7 64 bit, but for some special tasks I´d like to use the alternative OS. It worked without any problem on my two previous stand-alone - elected USB as a boot device in the BIOS boot menu and it starts fine.  However, on my Compaq 8200 there no USB option in the start menu. However, when I connect the external HARD drive to a USB port, the name of the HARD disk appears in the start menu, but again, it won't start him.  Have heard that there is a tweak to fix this, or maybe I m wrong. Alternatively, my stand-alone motherboard just can´t boot from an external hard drive via USB? Any ideas?

  Yes,

  Unplug everything plugged to the computer except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

  Then use this method to Flash the BIOS.  It's the best way to go.

  USB Device Flash BIOS DOS

  BACK Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the Flash BIOS DOS compatible system utility that can be used from a bootable BACK storage device (where the 'BACK' refers to a number of operating systems such as FreeDOS, DR - DOS or MS-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the driver required for DOSFlash.exe. To Flash the BIOS of the system to a bootable USB storage device, you'll need to copy the contents of the BACK Flash file on the USB device, start the PC from the USB device and run the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the BACK flash utility, view DOSFlash.txt located in the folder BACK Flash. This folder also contains the required binary BIOS image.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin , where "xxx" is the family of BIOS, 'MM' is the major version number and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any removable media USB for use with F10 setup option «Flash system ROM»

  The display of the folder BACK Flash content

  The links on this post do not work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

• Lightroom has deleted my photos from an external hard drive

  Anyone know why every time I have to import my photos in Lightroom from my external hard drive and there just deletes everything on my external hard drive and he moved to my office? How can I change? It is so annoying!

  My guess is that you use move during the import. (top of the import dialog box)

  Change it to Add.

  

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.
