• Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

  I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

  Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

  Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

• Lightroom has deleted my photos from an external hard drive

  Anyone know why every time I have to import my photos in Lightroom from my external hard drive and there just deletes everything on my external hard drive and he moved to my office? How can I change? It is so annoying!

  My guess is that you use move during the import. (top of the import dialog box)

  Change it to Add.

  No Lightroom does not use a different catalog.

  We discuss records, are we not? In the original catalog, you have a folder with one? mark, say C:\Photos, and you used your operating system to move it to F:\Photos. Lightroom has this record showing under the C:\ drive. As soon as you make the reconnection, Lightroom indicates the folder in the drive F:\.

  Oh, and is there a way to do all the files at once? or what I need to do one at a time?

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

• Lightroom do not see photos on external hard drive

  If my portable hard drive is full.  I bought a drive external western digital passport.  I created a folder on it and moved some pictures from the hard drive of the laptop on the external hard drive.  I did all this from Lightroom.

  But now Lightroom does not have the external hard drive folder in the library.

  If I try to add the folder using the + sign it will open the folder in the import window, but all is greyed out and say 'it's a duplicate of one already in the catalog

  Looks like the pictures are here, but it can't connect to them somehow.

  I also tried to take a new picture and won't see import in the folder.  It will then load this file in the library, but with only this new photo and any of those who are on the record.

  Would appreciate any suggestions.  I'm new to Lightroom def so there is a chance that it's user error what am I missing?

  Hi foodphotographer,

  You need to move the Images in the Lightroom Catalog, before the images has been saved on the internal drive now they are all on the external hard drive. for this purpose, you must update the location of the image in the Lightroom folder as well.

  See link: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Locate missing photos

  Let us know if that helps.

  Kind regards

• To pictures of portable external hard drive

  I have a lot of pictures on my laptop and a catalogue prepared by Lightroom 3.5.  I decided the best way to store photographs is to keep on an external hard drive so that I can work it easily from any computer on my network. (laptop is often cut)   Is there a way to keep/import/export/edit the current catalog so that it works with the pictures on the external hard drive? I wouldn't really have to redo the catalogue with all the keywords everywhere.

  You can copy or move the catalog file (*.) LRCAT) for the external hard drive with your operating system (Windows or Mac Finder). Then, once moved, double-click it to open it. All of your information catalogue (keywords, other metadata changes) will be available.

  The only problem (for Windows users, I don't know if this is true for Mac) is that the external hard drive should have the same letter on each computer you attach to. In other words, if it is today the E: drive on your computer, it must be the drive E: on all computers. Is relatively easy to change in the Windows drive letters; If you need to know how to do this, let us know.

• Boot from an external HARD drive via USB

  I have an 8200 Elite SFF and wants to start an alternative system (not Linux, but * NIX - like BONE) of a disk external DRIVE, connected via a USB port. My main operating system is WIN 7 64 bit, but for some special tasks I´d like to use the alternative OS. It worked without any problem on my two previous stand-alone - elected USB as a boot device in the BIOS boot menu and it starts fine.  However, on my Compaq 8200 there no USB option in the start menu. However, when I connect the external HARD drive to a USB port, the name of the HARD disk appears in the start menu, but again, it won't start him.  Have heard that there is a tweak to fix this, or maybe I m wrong. Alternatively, my stand-alone motherboard just can´t boot from an external hard drive via USB? Any ideas?

  Yes,

  Unplug everything plugged to the computer except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

  Then use this method to Flash the BIOS.  It's the best way to go.

  USB Device Flash BIOS DOS

  BACK Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the Flash BIOS DOS compatible system utility that can be used from a bootable BACK storage device (where the 'BACK' refers to a number of operating systems such as FreeDOS, DR - DOS or MS-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the driver required for DOSFlash.exe. To Flash the BIOS of the system to a bootable USB storage device, you'll need to copy the contents of the BACK Flash file on the USB device, start the PC from the USB device and run the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the BACK flash utility, view DOSFlash.txt located in the folder BACK Flash. This folder also contains the required binary BIOS image.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin , where "xxx" is the family of BIOS, 'MM' is the major version number and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any removable media USB for use with F10 setup option «Flash system ROM»

  The display of the folder BACK Flash content

  The links on this post do not work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

• Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

  Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
  using Windows 7 sp1

  Original title: usb

  Hello Fred,.

  Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

  1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

  2 do a reset power coercive.

  1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
  2. Unplug all USB devices.
  3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
  4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
  5. Then install the battery.
  6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
  7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

  The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

  3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

  I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

  Kind regards

  Any help or advice for this problem will be greatly appreciated

  
  

  Thanks in advance

  
  

  @stu

  Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

  Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

  Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

• How can I copy of PS files to external hard drive using a MAC?

  I am new to using a Mac.  Been easily copy the files for the years using PC.

  Now, I want to copy files to Mac on external hard drive.  I continue to see instructions on how to do it with Lightroom.  I would like to have instructions on how to use PS and Bridge.
