Transfer photos to an external hard drive in 11 days?

Hey guys,.

I just bought an external hard drive of 1 TB (Toshiba Canvio Basics) with a USB 3.0 cable and transfer the photos from library Photos takes long time. There are about 65 GB of photos and videos.  There is an estimate of 6 days for photos at the end of transfer on my first try. I left after 5 minutes because I thought that maybe I don't plug it right.  On my 2nd try, he gave me an estimate 1 day, I left who once again in 5 minutes. On my third try, I change usb ports and it gave me an estimate 11 days to get it to transfer. I have a MacBook Pro 2012, if that helps. Is this normal? or something is wrong with my Macbook or my new external hard drive?  How can I improve the transfer speed? Any help would be great. Thank you very much.

Two things:

What format is this player? How are you connected to it?

In addition, the Finder is a liar. He considers all sorts of things, but the estimate changes, 65 tis can take a few hours, but it will take more than that.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

    Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.

    1. Do you receive any error or display message?
    2. Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

    Try the methods and then check after each method:

    Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.

    Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.

    Method 2: Run the Fixit:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.

    If the problem persists, post your reply with results and questions above. We are happy to help you further in the advanced troubleshooting steps!

  • I don't see the photos on my external hard drive with windows Vista Home Basic

    Hello

    I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
    What should I do?...
    Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
    Thanks in advance,
    Charlie

    1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

    2 check the photos and click OK.
    NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

    3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

    4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

    This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

  • If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

  • Download of photos from an external hard drive

    New to Photoshop.

    IMac OS X Yosemite - Photoshop Elements 13

    How can I set Photoshop Elements download as opposed to import my photos of my external hard drives?  I want to avoid the 'missing file' & reconnect "."  Memory cards import all data: external hard drives can probably do the same thing?

    I found information on how to manually drag on but it does not work either.

    I don't want any of my eternal hard drives to synchronize with Photoshop, as they do at the moment.

    I read learning and support and tutorials but still impossible to locate any 'preferences' in this regard.

    Regards Tina

    Hi Tina, if you want to keep the external drive connected as a drive to work, then you must copy pictures to a folder of photos.

    Then use the menu of the Organizer:

    File > get Photos & videos > files & folders

    Then navigate to your location in images.

  • Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive?

    Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive, he sees the part of a file, but not all the files it contains. Virtually everything is there except that one folder, it says all were imported, but they don't show...

    If you wwant photos will show up in Lightroom on your external drive, you must (in Lightroom), do a right click on the folder on your internal drive that has photos and select Update folder location. Then select the appropriate external hard disk folder. You may get a message asking if you want to merge files, allow this merger.

    Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

    Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

    You burned discs with other programs using this computer? Are you sure that you have a drive that will burn the disks?

  • 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.
