Use as system photo library will not work on library migrated on external hard drive

I've migrated my library of photos on an external drive to free up space.  I run pictures while pressing the option key.  Photos don't 'sees' the library on the external hard drive in order to "Choose library" is grayed out.  I select "Library" and it points to the photo library that has been copied to the external drive.  It opens and I see all my photos.  I then go to preferences and select "use as a library system.  Which turns gray.   I then released photos.  When I have photos of tenant he still does not recognize that I have chosen an external library such as my library system, and I have to repeat the whole process again to nothing does not.    My external drives are Seagate 4 TB comes pre-formatted under OS X log (Extended).  The photo album has been updated from iPhoto and now I also copy the album iPhoto on the same external drive in the case which has data that allows pictures to designate my photo album of external drive as my photo album of system.  However, I'd rather remove it because it takes up to 500 GB of hard disk space too.   I searched on the internet and other forums without success - seems to work just for everyone.  Help, please!

This is the format that you see when you download info on the disc?

pre-formatted under OS X log (Extended).

I have not seen that - the correct format is as Mac OS extended (journaled)

    I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function.

    I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I've slowly been import previews of the photos selected from the library in my catalog, adding them during the import process - well. But now, I hit a problem. Another folder in my library contains several subfolders, each containing a number of photos (a mixture of RAW steals (naves) and jpg). I was importing found in my catalog each Subfile in turn, using the Add function, usually of the jpgs only from each Subfile. It works fine, until I reached a particular Subfile. For some reason when I try to import from it and select the secondary file as a Source, only the RAW (NEF) images appear in the preview pane (sorry, forgot the correct term for it!). I know that jpg files are in this auxiliary file on the external hard drive, because when I view its content in Windows, they are all there. But try as I can (choose the file under source, select the folder parent as a source, try to copy or move them, instead of adding them), nothing seems to work. Since they do not appear in the preview pane, I can't import them. It does appear that this a Subfile where the problem exists, but I don't see anything that is different from the others (names of files under all use the same structure - yyyy-mm-dd_custom name, and pictures in all subfolders are adopting the same denomination structure too - yyyy-mm-dd_sequential number_custom name.) NAVE/JPG. So what I am doing wrong? Any ideas please.

    It is possible that the images in this particular subfolder were taken in your camera in RAW + JPEG.  If so, you will need to go to preferences under the general tab and make sure the box "processing JPEG files files next to raw as separate photos" is checked.

    However, assuming that this is the case, there is really no reason to import the JPEG file if you already have the RAW file.

  • move el capitan photo library app on external hard drive

    Question:

    How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

    The picture of El Capitan App behaves like a virus - it takes my computer whenever I plug a phone, etc.

    There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

    (And selecting the cloud for storage is similar to trust someone else to keep forever, hundreds of concerts my confidential and important data.) "If they were to lose my credit card information, that would be correct.)

    I will not "auto-save" my photos on my drive internally, and will not allow 'Photo' me to select one different folder other than the one they chose for me on my internal drive. Whenever I select a folder from the external hard drive in the preferences, it is default to the original destination in the internal drive.

    Most discussions on the application of 'Photo' of Apple are extremely difficult to find because the results of a search of the generic name of there new beacon 'Photo' app display the results of all things by the word 'photo' in them. Go to Apple support with the name of their application as the search keyword: "photo".

    It seems that the fellows who designed Windows 8 have been able to find a job at Apple. I think it may be easier to move a photo library of Windows 8 at the library 'Photos' El Capitan that moving the iPhotos library.

    I don't remember thinking iPhoto needed to be redesigned. Simply not take 20 minutes for the Interior to appear cryptic images. And maybe be able to import large files of k 4, without crashing on every attempt.

    PLEASE SEE THE APP "FUNBOX" BEFORE THE NEXT UPDATE OF 'PHOTO '!

    in this soft - 128 GB iPhone photos appear in less than a minute, and you have the ability to save large images videos 4 k, voice memos, etc. simply by dragging them to the location desired. The good old MAC intuitive way that attracted us to Apple in the first place.

    Perhaps Apple simply tries to leave the free App company.

    RULE NO. 1:

    Applications need to be improved - not made obsolete!

    One Solution: rename the new 'photo' application in iPhoto. (I'm a genius!)

    How to move to El Capitan new library of the 'Photo' app on an external drive?

    Select it in the image folder and drag the EHD.  Once there open to confirm a successful move and then remove the pictures folder.

    There seems to be no preference to choose which application opens to plug in a device, and iPhoto failed to do not open.

    With the trendy iPhone go to Photos and uncheck this box:

    Do this for each device you have.  If you have memory cards and reformat them, you will have to repeat every time.

    To kill the opening of Photos for all devices use the method posted by JadedEye:

    Re: Prevent DEFINITELY pictures of automatic opening

    in response to leonie

    OK, it worked for me on El Cap

    Open a terminal window

    Type the following in the terminal and press enter

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

    The exit of the terminal.

    Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

    If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

    This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos lance all the time.

    I don't know what you mean by that last statement.  Are you referring to export photos from your library to the EHD? Or are you referring to place your library on the EHD and its use here? The export window to select any location you want to save to.  By default, it opens to the desktop on the startup disk. But you can select any volume which is mounted by clicking it in the sidebar of the export window:

  • Media Player 11 will not play my music on my external hard drive

    I have all my music files on my external hard drive.  I organized them by band.  I can't make my Media Player read the external hard drive to play music.  I already went in Tools/Options/Library/monitor folders and added the file in there and who's going to add an external hard drive in the list of watched folders, but when I go to my library all my music isn't here.  I tried to move the 'my music' folder on my external hard drive so that it points to this folder automatically and that no longer works.  I am now at a loss.  Help, please.  Thank you.

  • Lightroom will not start with the catalogue of external hard drive

    Switching computers (Mac), I've updated Lightroom 6 4. He opened with an old catalog that won't only up until 2013, which is on an external drive. I tried to revive with my current catalog, and I get a message: Lightroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder "/Volumes/ (name) / (name) of the hand catalog / (name) of the hand catalog" does not allow the files it contains. El Capitan has more patch file permissions in disk utility and, in addition, this catalog is on the same drive as the oldest catalogue is on. Any ideas?

    Sharing and permissions of the older cases seems to be a problem with El Capitan.  I tried to copy a folder to an external drive. This file was created and copied using the Mavericks.  It would not copy. Said, I have no privileges, I think that the message. It was all in Finder NOT lightroom.

    So, I clicked on the folder parent in question;  and then did you read the information.  In the result pane, I changed the permissions to "everyone".  It worked.  Then once it has been copied, I changed it back!  It takes a few minutes to update and warns that it can not be cancelled?  Don't know what it means until I am able to change permissions back.

    In any case; Save then try this. I said back first?  Yes.  YMMV.

  • now that I've updated to El Capitan, my Brother DCP will not work and I can't find a driver update

    Now that I've updated to El Capitan, my Brother DCP will not work and I can't find a driver update. Everyone finds something?

    Here are the current models of Brother products which are supported.

    http://support.brother.com/g/s/ID/OS/Macintosh.html

    If your model is supported drivers will be on this page. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and see if they have a driver for your printer from specific model for this OS. Otherwise, you may need to downgrade to a previous operating system from a backup Time Machine or a downgrade for compatibility, if it is not offered by the brother of your device to model on a computer running OS 10.11.

    Apparently not all printers DCP mind are compatible, but most that were compatible with the OS 10.10.x always conform to their page.

  • I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

    I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

    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.

  • I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager. Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.

    I have a new computer.  We have been plug an external hard drive to move my photos in the new computer.

    I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager.  Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.  I'm afraid of getting my camera.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you
    Oumar W

    Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

    If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

    So I just copied my iTunes library on an external hard drive and now when I try to play a song in iTunes, I get a message saying that the file is not found. I see the files on my C drive, where they were stored at the origin. What is going on?

    What exactly did you go where? See make a library of portable split. Maybe you can put the parts back together in the correct form on the external hard drive and then shift-Start iTunes to open the library there.

  • Reassign the library on the external hard drive hard drive

    I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive. Whenever I have add files to iTunes with the hard drive is connected, it automatically adds them to the library on the hard drive.  When I add files to iTunes unless it's plugged, it adds to a library on my computer.  I bought a new computer that has enough hard drive space for me to get all on my hard drive.  I need to just 'choose' library on my computer via the startup key option choose the method of the library and drag all the files on since the hard drive in my iTunes music folder? Wanted to ask you before you give it whirl and somehow spoil inadvertently (happened!)

    You drag the largest of the two libraries on the hard disk, choose that one and then drag media files either to the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder.

  • bundle photo series will not work in lightroom 5.4.

    I just bought a subscription bundle of photo, but the serial number will not work in lightroom 5.4.

    I hade a LR5.4 tril version that is now exhausted, so I bought the PhotoShop LightRoom bundle but serial number will activate not LightRoom.

    I get a big red x

    Can any body help [plaease.

    Concerning

    Rik

    You must install Lightroom 5.4 using the CC Application Manager. Prior to this, follow these steps.

    Uninstall the trial LR 5.4 (Mac drag the application from your application package under) victory use Control Panel to uninstall. Your presets user, catalogue etc. will remain in place. Reboot your system, then to open CC Application Manager and download LR should be available for download. You will not actually enter the serial number.

    The two applications are the same just the licensing procedure are different in the creative cloud.

  • Telstra Australia tell me that I have to use Chrome, as their facilities will not work with Firefox. Why?

    After spending literally hours trying to pay an account on Telstra Australia (that I just joined them, so it's the first installment), I finally gave up and contacted directly. I was told that Telstra services will not work with Firefox and that their preferred system is Google Chrome but Internet Explorer will not work.
    I have used Firefox for a long time and I'm happy with the program. Specifically, I have everything set up to work with Firefox and do not want to change. At the same time, I want to have the convenience of paying bills online.
    Can I load up, Google say, just one thing, or the program will then try to "catch" other functions as well?

    Yes, you can install Chrome and use it for a website. "Recovery" Chrome as other functions on your PC, just don't let it not be defined as "browser default" If you are prompted during the installation procedure. In addition, I doubt if you'll have a problem.
