• OPTION TO DELETE FAST WINDOWS 7 USB FLASH DRIVES INCLUDE SOME EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES?

  A few years ago, when I switched to smaller hard drive 640 GB HP pocket of Sandisk USB key I used the "Quick removal" option of Windows 7. "Fast moving" option includes the "Pocket reader." The reason for the request is when a Pocket drive is connected, and I right click, go through the process of menu to find the "Quick shift" box to check, it is not available. Is there a way to safely remove external hard drives without going through the routine "eject safely. Drives external hard should they be ejected safely or are "hot" or "n"playing card"or are they covered under the option"fast moving "?

  Basil,

  Thanks for your reply.

  Since my first question on this topic yesterday, I have since rediscovered the path that I took two years ago to upgrade my computers in a mode of "quick release". Affecting the computers 'Fast moving' allows me to plug the device I want to use, open the file and when you're done just to remove the USB device without formally engaging the button 'Remove the device safely' at the bottom right of the screen. The option "Fast moving" indicates it where you make your selection. That's my experience of the option "Fast moving" includes the small Sandisk readers of thumb size and big HP 640GO type readers of external pocket. I used this method for the readers of 640GO Pocket nearly two years on a daily basis with two separate HP and assorted small Sandisk flash drives. Here are the instructions to activate the "Quick removal" option, I got:

  (a) Connect USB or external storage device

  (b) click on 'computer '.

  c device), right click (the item you just plug it in)

  (d) click 'properties '.

  (e) click on "hardware".

  (f) to find the device you just plug in the list, and then click to open

  (g) click on the button 'change settings '.

  (h) click on tab 'Strategies '.

  (i) select the "Quick removal" option (default)

  (j) click on 'OK '.

  Before applying this option, I was using the option 'Remove the device safely' has not always allow me to eject safely. Many times I reboot with the element always connected to try another withdraw safely. That's my experience from two years of consistent "hot swapping" or "chart n"play"according to the method of the"rapid withdrawal"with all of the data still intact.

  Hello stan49,

  ·         What type of backup that you created on your external hard drive?

  ·         What happens when you try to restore the data on your computer?

  If you used the Windows backup utility to create a backup on your computer, you can check the link that will give you information about how to restore from a backup below:

• A Catalogue of several external hard drives. What is my best option?

  Hello, I've just filled to the top of my external hard drive that hold all my files and my LR catalog. I want to continue to use the same catalog, but with a new HD... What is the way most common people this? I thought that if I put the catalog on my desktop - so if I open it with my new HD plugged I only see photos of my other images? Or is there a better way to do it? Thank you very much!!!

  The location of the catalog and the location of your images are completely independent of each other.

  For example,.

  My catalogues: d:\lr6_catalogs

  Catalog backups: c:\lr_cat_backups

  My pictures: (internal) d:\from_camera, q:\from_camera (external)

  image backups: p:\from_camera

  I put catalogs on my internal drive, they very slightly longer run fast.

  External drives come and go; Add more as needed.

  If you are dealing with multiple computers, you can put the catalog and images and the same external drive and move the drive from one computer to the other.

  If you use several external drives, and some of them are disconnected, LR will show previews and thumbnails in the LR cache (located in the catalog). Necessary for files located on disconnected drives will be indicated as "missing" until you connect the drive.

  If you want to use a larger cache, you can enable Smart previews, which allow you to do an edition more than normal when the original files were defeated.

  As I do this:

  Internal catalog on disk

  original images on external drives, grouped by date (new images in the new player)

  Previews are standard previews, 'auto' for my monitor

  no need for intelligent previews as the external drive 'current' is still attached

• Best way backup external hard drives?

  SYSTEM INFORMATION:

  HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

  CURRENT BACKUP METHOD: I have three external hard drives (200 GB, 300GB, 750GB) all connected via USB.  I use the 750Go to back up the data on my 200 and 300 GB.  Currently, I manually copy all the files from the 750 GB smaller hard drives to save them.  It's very tedious because it takes about 5 hours to copy 200 GB of data.

  QUESTION: I've never used the 'Backup Now' tool (right click on the drive / properties / tools / backup now) to back up external hard drives.  It would be a better option for me instead of manually copying files to a post of h/d to another?  Can I automate backups?  How can I retrieve the backup should I need the data backup?

  Thank you very much

  Angela

  TX, everything is easier than all your backup data manually.  Here is a guide to using "HP Easy Backup".  Also, here is a guide for the use of Backup in Windows XP.

  There are probably a thousand or several FREE online backup programs.  Here are some examples to cnet.  This should give you some good ideas.

  Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

  By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

  Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

  But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

  Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

  Hope this makes things clearer.

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• Seagate external hard drive / / no display

  Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

  Help, please!

• No access to an external hard drive

  So I plugged my external hard drive in my macbook to move some files on it but it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I clicked on initialize and he said: the hard drive is uninitalised and Mont and partition are grayed out. I ran the option of first aid, but he only said: the operation completed successfully. I am aware of that my external hard drive works because it is blue is lit and I used it a few days ago and it worked fine. I also plugged into another usb key I have and it works perfectly.

  Is there anyway for me to access my files on the external hard drive? I really don't want to lose my photos and files!

  The external hard drive is a tough drive 320 freecom.

  the light means power can get to the case, not the drive past any integrity checking. If the drive is older it may break or it could have been failure, or requires 3rd party software to allow full access, if it is NTFS formatted for windows and you use it on a mac.

  If you do not backup your data may be missing. If you start the boot disk process, you have already started to remove the files and more you try using that drive less whatever it is (if any) can be recovered.

  Freecom offers guarantees of 3 years on their mechanical hard drives but offers no guarantee with recovery of lost data (no company only)

  http://www.Freecom.com/warranty

  If your player is longer than 3 years its not rare that its failure and should be replaced with a new unit.

  In the meantime, you can try a 3rd party solution such as Disk Warrior or rescue for Mac to see if something can be saved, but still no service company forensic or data will always claim that they can do it with any degree of certainty to recover your data.

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

• Research through external hard drive

  I asked about the use of external hard drives before, but I was never satisfied with the results. This time I thought that it would be more useful minimize my question in order to reduce the number of responses.

  One of my more frequent needs is to search for an e-mail message. Suppose I know that a message from Mabel or at an uncertain date contained the information I need. Is it possible to type "Mabel" in a search engine for each mention of the same name throughout my external hard drive?

  That sums it up. This is an example of the only way to find data that I would find useful: minimum words, and then click.

  Yes, it should work, but with a modification.

  First confirm that system preferences > Spotlight > search results > Mail & Messages is checked ON.

  When you add the search term in a Finder window search field, select the Mac before you click to start the search. Only this option to search through all the disks and volumes.

• How to export iMovie to external hard drive?
