Using BCDedit on an external drive
Recently, the screen on my HP laptop with 7 Ultimate broke, I have been using an external monitor. A few weeks later, the DVD player has stopped working so I decided to start in safe mode to try to diagnose the problem. As the screen is broken and I couldn't see the boot options, I went into MSConfig and selected safeboot under the Startup tab. Now, I get no video to my external monitor with the VGA or S-Video ports, so I can not go to start Windows normally.
My question is: is it possible to change the options to start if I get out my HD and connect it to another computer with a SATA to USB connection?
Hello
If it connects to another computer, you can read and write to external, as you can do it to any other computer.
However, I don't think that this boot option can be edited HD when it is not the real startup disk.
I think also that not being able to see the video could be a problem with the hardware configuration (maybe the function keys) of the laptop and not a question of t Bootedi.

Installation on external drive
I have CS5 installed on my iMac and need to install it on an external drive so I can take it with me to a workshop where I use my MacBookAir. I can't change the destination on the installation of //applications to proceed with the installation. Any suggestions?
Don't even bother. Adobe apps are not "portable" - just plug in an external drive with the apps on it will do nothing. They must be properly installed on all systems, that they will be used, which could include external drives of course, but things like the licensing system or some shared components will be always installed in system folders, or else they may not work correctly. To cut a long story short: simply install the apps properly on your MBA and use activation 2nd on them.

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.

Use existing footage of the external drive instead save the library?
I can't find any info on the internet for this using FCPX. There is a sequence library file that records your videos (makes copies) in the library of FCPX. You have to do if you already have your video on an external drive? Otherwise, I am just double everything I have and fill up my external drive even faster with 4 K images. FCPX should the images of the library that are duplicated or can work with existing external images already on my drive (copied from my GH4).
Images can be stored either inside the whole library, or it can be stored in a place designated outside the library. Media imported from a camera, a camera card or camera archive must be copied to the location of library media, either inside the library or to the designated place. Media who are not in a camera folder structure can be left in its original location and linked to the PCF, using symbolic links.
So "GH4 copied" is not really accurate enough. If you copy the media in its folder structure, media have again copy in the location of library of the PCF. If you check out the media out of the folder structure on your hard drive you can use it in FCP with symbolic links, even if you run the danger that the media are not treated properly or it separates symbolic links through mismanagement.

I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.
If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?
I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.
Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer
I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.
(1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?
(2) what happens if I would have said yes?
(3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.
All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

Back up a disk hard PC network to an external drive using Time Machine?
I use an old iMac to back up one external drive to another using SilverKeeper; the two elements are obsolete, but functional. It is the logic board died and I could buy a new iMac, but SilverKeeper does not work with the new OS. Can TimeMachine backup a specific folder to a network PC on another hard disk drive external? If not, I would: (1) set the old iMac or (2) buy a new one, but be forced to reconfigure the storage of data for TimeMachine can get.
N ° Time Machine backs up only the locally connected readers. He cannot back up a network share.

Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?
Hello
I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d
FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.
What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?
Thanks in advance
Hey Buddy,
Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine? I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive. When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are
1 mac OS extended (journaled)
2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)
3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)
4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)
See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support
When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.
- If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
- If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

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.

Restore the data in the external drive using Time Machine
Hi y ' All!
I store my photos in my external hard drive because there is not enough space in memory is internal. This is actually my second drive external hard than my first (Adata HE720) is not the beginning of last year. Unfortunately, my WD Elements has stopped working and I can't restore data using Time Machine, as the drive is not found in Time Machine under devices, and I'm sure that I restored my photo library and many other files from my old external drive using Time Machine.
Can someone tell me how to recover my old files? I have many other important data here including my photos and I don't want to lose them. I'm fairly positive that Time Machine allows me to get the data as is the point of it.
Thank you in advance!
P.S. If you guys have any recommendation on a reliable external drive, please do tell me!
Hey guys, I found the problem.
It turns out that I'm never giving time Machine to deselect my external drive to backup; Therefore, there is absolutely no copy done during execution Time machine. I really don't understand why Apple made this the default behavior, but it is what it is.
So, people, don't forget to go to Time Machine preferences and make sure that you remove the external hard drive that you want to backup under options. Once you do, you can enter the time Machine and your drive will appear under devices.
See you soon.

I used to download pictures from a card reader, copy them, and then stick it on my external hard drive. Since El Capitan of download, it does not work - I can download and copy, but can not stick to the external hard drive. I can't set up the files on the external hard drive either. However, I can download what is already on the external hard drive without any problem.
How the external drive is formatted?

Hello chrismullinax,
Below, I have included a link to perform backups. Assuming that your device is compatible, you should have the ability to perform at this place. You need to confirm how much you have as to how many CDs of data will be needed.
