• Moving shared files on external hard drive

  I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

  So two questions:
  1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
  2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

  Thank you

  William

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

  Cause:

  This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

  Method 1: Perform a clean boot

  Follow the steps in the link below to perform the clean boot and see if you can transfer the files.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

  Method 2:

  Follow the link below and check if that helps.

  You receive a warning popup when you delete a folder that has a change to the ACL

• 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 download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

  I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

  Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

  When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

  They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

  Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

• moving video files on external hard drive

  I recently added a 1 to. external hard drive. I saved my documents etc.  Now, I'm moving all my video files from my lap top to my drive hard ext.  BUT!  A message keeps coming up saying I don't have enough disk space. There are still 931 GB of free space on the disk hard ext. Can someone help me to overcome this problem.

  Just a guess...  How is your external hard drive formatted?  For information, right-click on the drive and select "Properties".  There will be a line of "File System".  If the file system is one of the types of FATS (for example FAT32), then the maximum size of a single file is 4 GB.  If you have files larger than this, you will need to reformat the drive to "NTFS".  The procedure to do this is here:

• Read only folders and files on external hard drive

  Windows 7 keeps setting the already existing folders and files on my external hard drive for read only. I used the Properties dialog box to remove read-only from the folder and all subfolders and files. This seems to run correctly, but of course, this isn't.

  It is a serious aggravation and wonder if there is a fix that I have not been able to find. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I understand that after saving a file with a different name, her attribute "removes the read-only" you have no problem with again to change. If the problem is related only to files that have been previously registered with Windows XP.

  You can try this: move one of the old files on your desktop > make sure that the read-only attribute is not checked > bring it back to your external drive > check is possible to edit now. If it will work, you can just do this for all your files, simply by copying both.

  ...

  I also wonder what users are listed under security settings: right click on the file > properties > Security tab. It should be rated "everyone" in its own right.

• How can I delete locked files to external hard drive

  I use an external hard drive to back up my laptop.  I did a number of full backups using PC Backup Pro.  I find that I am ending up with a number of files that have names like "2bfee8a4e34dc7b2bb247207".  All of these issues appear to be Windows/MS Office program files.  I do not need them taking place on my external hard drive and delete.  Some of the icons folder contain also see a lock on the top of the file and not others.

  When I try to delete these files, a window opens saying "you do not currently have permission to access this folder, click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.  When I ' click to continue ', I don't then get a window caying "you refused permission to access this folder.  To have access... Use the Security tab.

  I have to after the opening of the Security tab, then click Advanced, click the owner tab.  I'll see an owner like "Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-3029930470-4275679664-342561093-1007)" listed.  I tried to change the owner name 'administrators (Ellen-PC\Administrators)' or Ellen (Ellen-PC\Ellen), which are the names appear in the owner to change to: box.  Some of the files won't let me make the change.  On the other, if she will allow me to make the change of ownership, I still cannot remove the files/folders.

  This is getting very frustrating, because I I would like to delete these folders without having to reformat the external hard drive.  I want to make room for newer backups.

• Restore files using external hard drive

  I have an external hard drive which has my files my desktop which is Windows 7.  This office has crashed and I need to put the files on my laptop that is Windows 8. Is this possible?

  Hi Julie,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Yes, you certainly can restore all of your files from external HDD (HARD drive) to Windows 8 regardless of the version of Windows that we put them on earlier. If you have some backup software, you can restore the files using your favorite backup provided by the external HARD disk manufacturer software. If the data contain documents, images, or other media files, you can directly move files in the HARD drive files external to the library folders in Windows.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
