• If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

  So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

• I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

  I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

  If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

  It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

  Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

  Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

• I want to recover the data on the hard drive using a laptop as a hard drive.

  Original title: Using a laptop as a hard drive...

  On a MAC, I can plug my laptop into my office with a firewire port to access the hard drive on the laptop without the OS being ran on the laptop.  Windows Vista has such a thing?  If so, how do you go?  The hard drive on my Windows laptop fails and we want to try and recover the data, by hooking it to a desktop as shown above with the MACs.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  "There is no way to access the hard drive when there is no operating system and if the hard drive is connected terribly."

  However, you can remove the hard drive from the laptop and connect it to the office with a case of hard disk that comes with the USB cable.

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

• How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

  Keep all image files both places?

  What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

  Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

  As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

  As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

  Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part
  
  Partition ### Type Size Offset
  
  ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
  
  Partition 1 Reserved 128 MB 17 KB
  
  Partition 2 Primary 1267 GB 129 MB 
  
  DISKPART>
  

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Is it possible to use the Acer restore disks on a new hard drive?

  The hard drive on my Aspire 5251 appears to be dead. He was behaving erraticly and we tried a full restore via the program eRecovery a couple of times and it is always wrong (error 0x45d). We also tried discs that we did when the laptop is new with no luck.

  I bought and installed a new hard drive, but can't get the disks to install on it either. I'm guessing that it is looking for something partitioned the original hard drive because he says that something is missing. It is more under warranty and I can't figure out how to order the full install discs from Acer. Is it possible to get these recovery discs to work?

  Also, FWIW, I installed Ubuntu on the new hard drive just to see if it works, and it's so I know everything works at least.

  TIA

  Yes, you can use your Acer restore on a new hard drive disks. If you have installed ubuntu, you may need to format the HARD disk and to create a partition on the disk hard so that the discs work.
