  Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

  If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

  1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

  2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

  3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

  

  4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

  

  5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

  Hi mate

  I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

  To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

  My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

  Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

• Vista can not read memory cards, please and get in shape.

  Hi, I have a strange problem that appeared on my laptop Sony VIAO.

  Now it will not read any memory card I use. USB flash drives, SD or MagicGate cards in the slots of the laptop, or the internal or external to a PSP memory.

  In all cases, it recognizes the drive exists, but when I try to open it I get an error "you must format the drive until you can use it."

  An exception is the CF card in my camera, which is very well read (through the camera and USB). Maybe it's because the camera is regarded as a Portable device in Vista, rather than a "device with removable storage".

  I checked all cards work fine in the other PC, and they all used to work on this laptop (i.e. it is not a problem of size of memory card). I have not found anything relevant on the net, and Vista claims that drivers are working and up to date.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• You can save the projects that you are currently editing on an external hard drive?

  I went travelling this summer and want to make a video of all my photos / videos. As you can imagine there are many of them and they are on different cards memory. So I bought a disc external hard samsung which is comparable with Mac to store all my content. The first batch of files that I imported from my hard drive to iMovie went on well, but then I tried to import some more and I do not have enough memory space on my Macbook Air.

  Is there anyway you can get iMovie to use my external hard drive to save projects as default? So instead of import content and she being temporarily stored on my macbook while editing, it would save on my hard drive?

  I am very new and relatively new to mac for iMovie so I apologize if this doesn't make much sense.

  Yes you can.  For a long time I used iMovie 11 but transfer events to and external drive is covered in the help files to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

  and the transfer of projects to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613

  Note that the disk should be in Mac format.  If you are not sure, check using disk utility.

• Catalogue of confusion after the removal of the photos on external hard drive. [was: help!]

  I tried to be smart and I bought an external hardrive to free up some space on my laptop.  I transferred all my photos to the hardrive thought that I would be able to work on these photos in lightroom, as long as I had the hard drive plugged into my laptop.  Well this is not the case apparently.  So I imported all the photos into lightroom from the hard drive.  With the hard drive plugged into the laptop I can access all my pictures, but the catalogs that I was editing have lost all their changes.  I tried to open the backup lightroom from yesterday, and nothing happens.  If I select one of my catalogs that none of the images are there, he also says missing photos.  So I tried to locate all missing photos, and nothing happened.  All the photos are in lightroom, they appear in the library under the external hardrive.  But I can't shoot in my catalogs and cannot roll back changes to the photos I was editing when I put all my photos on the external hard drive.

  Hi Amanda,.

  You get the workflow a bit confused here. It is hard to follow all of the steps you took, but I will try to explain the correct procedure.

  1. you have a Lightroom Catalog and all images in the catalog pointing to a location on the internal drive (ideally, it would be a series of folders under the folder of a high level, to make it easier to step 3 below).

  2. copy the image of folders containing images of the Interior on the external drive. You now have two copies of your images.

  3. open Lightroom and you should see all your images again. Open the files Panel and right-click on the top-level folder that contains all the image files (this is where a single top-level folder is priceless). Choose 'location of folder update... »

  4. navigate to the top level on the external drive folder and choose that. Your Lightroom Catalog is now oriented to the external hard drive.

  At this point, you can go on using Lightroom normally. You can copy, move or delete the images of your internal drive, because Lightroom is their use is no longer.

  Note that in step 3 above, if all your image files are not contained in a single top-level folder, you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4 several times, once for each top-level folder.

• photos on CD - R in Vista can not read in XP

  I burned the pictures for a total of 628 MB on a 700 MB CD - R using Vista of reading.  I used the system of active files and ISO image formats.  Nor will allow the CD - R to open on XP.  On Vista, it shows all the photos that have been copied.

  If I use the Live file format & copy only 20-25 photos on CD - R, CD opens on XP.

  Is it possible that I can avoid using so many CD to copy photos?  I'm not very known to the computer!

  =============================================
  Perhaps you could use a memory card or a USB flash drive to transfer
  photos.

  If you insert your Vista created CD - R in the CD/DVD drive on your
  Machine XP and go to the... Start / my computer... can you right click the
  The drive letter of the drive and select Explorer? This lets it
  See the directory of the CD? Maybe you can copy and paste or drag and drop
  photos from there to a folder on your hard drive XP.

• Satellite C660D - 181 Power Cord issues and can not read CD or DVD

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-181 and my power cord has had problems with the connection. I plugged it in and the light on the left indicating it is plugged in and charged off and my cell phone begins to lose his load.

  I must escape around and try to get it just in the right position to show him it is plugged. I have it plugged into an extension of the Strip which is connected to the main outlet (and the only outlet) in the room.

  I use it exclusively in the living room so I'm close to the telephone and TV, so move it to another room will not be the answer. I'm afraid that the repair costs would be too high and the purchase of a new laptop computer is out of the question for now.

  Another question, I'll have, it's that I can't read a CD or a DVD. I have Windows Media Player and Apple Quick time Player. I chose to play the media instantly, but it still does not work. I installed cc registry cleaner to see if it was a registry problem, but no joy there. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

  The most important issue to address at the moment is the power supply cord. I appreciate your help. Please, profane as computer jargon escapes me.

  > I worry that repair costs would be too high and the purchase of a new laptop computer is out of the question for now
  What is this option? You want to fix it yourself?
  Don t think that it s a real option since you would need good parts, hand tools, maintenance and find out how to fix it.

  Since you and I don t know exactly the cost of repair, I would recommend first asking how this fix could be I mean, you can request a service in your country for a price and could decide if its worth for you

• Virtual Drive do not show in the BIOS after you connect Virtual Media to the iDRAC

  Hello

  I had a problem with iDRAC to install from an ISO OS image to a M600 server.

  I have measurements are:

  1. connect to the iDRAC, System-> Console-> launch Viewer

  2. in iDRACView, Media-> CD Media-> ISO Image-> [select .iso image and OS]-> Connect-> closed

  After restarting the server, "boot sequence" in the shown BIOS

  CD-ROM USB device (not installed)
  USB Floppy device (not installed)
  Hard drive C:
  Embedded NIc 1 MBA v4.4.4 Slot 0400

  Manaul Dell boot sequence should show Virtual CD etc but I have everything installed not.

  Cannot start server from the image but the "current status" in Virtual Media to iDRAC is 'connected.

  My server is a Dell M600 and iDRAC IPMI version is 2.0 and the firmware version is 1.60 (Build 3).  Help, please.  Thank you

  RDG,

  Certainly an unusual problem.  A few questions to better understand the issue.

  1st. A it worked correctly at any time, or is - this first enter this part of the functionality of the iDRAC?

  2 have you tried different media in order to ensure that the issue is not isolated just for this disc?

  What is particularly unusual as connected virtual media lists, it's clearly is not resolve as expected.
