• Changes to the Raw files disappear when importing Images from external drive

  I use three external drives to copy my files from a work of transformation. Then I delete the original work on my hard drive portable. When I need to access these files again, I usually then re - import files in lightroom and remove the external hard drive. I used this system for years without problem. Recently, I found that when I go to import files from the external hard drive, my changes are gone. .Xmp files are there and I checked to make sure that the box is checked to write the changes to the .xmp file. I narrowed down it to two possible problems. It can be a problem with the disk hard as it seems to have started when I bought two new drives (see below). I also noticed that it seems to happen to Canon. Raw CR2 files and not Nikon. Raw NEF files. If someone has had this problem or have any suggestions?

• My external drive thunderbolt causes 10 Windows to reboot into Bootcamp. Normal?  Difficulty?

  I have an imac of retina.  I use Parallels to begin Windows 10 without any problem at all.  Unfortunately, due to a problem of graphics card, one application will not work properly.  They advised me to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp, repeat this application and see if it works.  This resolved the conflict with this software.

  Unfortunately, Windows kept re-booting and ultimately would crash and must be put back in place (at least it seems).  I did this same process several times.

  Process of elimination, I found that if I unplugged the external drive thunderbolt, it resolved 100% of the problem.  No more problems with the re-start.

  I tried researching and I see people have problems with the Thunderbolt and Windows 10 screens, but really nothing else mentioned.

  My understanding is that this is not a conflict when you use Parallels because I am still running off the Apple ecosystem, but thanks to bootcamp with Windows only running, it gets confused by the thunderbolt connection.

  I know that this may be more a problem of winner - snoozing, but is there any work around this other disconnect me the Thunderbolt disc whenever I want to use the version of Bootcamp for Windows 10?

  Thank you.

• Accidentally lost all my files from external drive in disk utility

  Hi guys, I will try to be very clear since its my first time, ask a question here.

  Then, I opened the disk utility and attempted to create a partition on my external hard drive 1 TB Toshiba USB3.0 (I thought I might have a separate location of 100 GB). But instead, I end up getting the hard drive is blank and changed to OS X (HFS) in MS-DOS (FAT32) mode.

  So my question here, just delete all of my information? If so, how can I get it back? Or just create a partition and the other information are hidden (which would be like a miracle)?

  It is very important, I have to retrieve this information. I had close to 900 GB of professionals to the personal files. All my work, years of personal projects of my digital life is here.

  Help, please!

  This can be a possibility:

• Recovery of data from external drive

  I can read is no longer my external hard drive. I hear the drive makes noise, but the removable disk drive does not appear on my directory on the computer more. I think that the drive has failed. The data on the disc are very important. Is there a way I can still recover?

  Do we have to be so literal? 2 screws will allow you to read the hard drive. To get out of the House to do anything useful with it's going to take a lot longer. But find the video on youtube was excellent work. I was talking of LaCie drives as those that can be a real bear enter.

  And here's a site showing in pictures how to use the ide to usb as I have and recommend.

  A large needle to point out is the drive hard ide must be master jumper or it may not work right.

• Copy of Virtual Machine from external drive to SAN

  Hello

  I'm looking for advice on the best way to copy a Virtual Machine and its files from an external USB drive on an ESX Datastore (the data store is a logic on the SAN unit number that is attached to the ESX Server).

  I was going to connect a PC on the same VLan, set the USB to the PC then load vSphere Client, navigate to the data store and then choose 'download files '.  This is the recommended option?  I remember reading somewhere before on formatting the USB drive in FAT32 and then mount it on the ESX Server?

  Thank you.

  Forget about editing of the USB key to the ESX host. Just use vSphere client to transfer files, or enable SSH access to your host and use SCP (WinSCP or FastSCP are great options) to transfer your files to your data warehouses.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• How to recover lost files from external drive

  We erased all the content on a backup external seagate more desktop drive because we BONE-headedly failed eject the drive, that doesn't not want to clear beforehand.

  What is the best way to recover these files, if there is one. Oh!

  No if you have reused the player and "crushed" of your files. Otherwise, see below:

  General file recovery

  If you stop using the drive it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk to write more data to the disc.  Two free alternatives are disk drill and Cisdem DataRecovery. Recovery software generally provides trial versions which allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

  The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.

• Moving music from external drive

  Here's what I'm trying to do / what I've done.

  1 bought new Macmini (fact)

  2 transferred old Macmini new information (fact)

  3. iPhoto for Photo (actually, a little pain)

  4 iTunes library (not done)

  After taking a while to understand that iphoto photo, I thought I might try iTunes and see how that happened. Disaster. At a point with my old mini, I started to import directly to my outside. Sure that I did it because the hard drive was quite small. Whenever I listened to music, I turn the exteriors, and iTunes to recognize and play everything. Now that the hard drive with the new computer in a format that non-space, I would get all the music on the new computer. For some reason, I can't return to my mini old music for new Mac, and the new mac does not recognize outside. Almost, if not all, of the music is out of existing CD, so I'm not worried, if I can't get this figured out. I can't believe it must be this hard, but I'm having no luck. As always, thanks for the help.

  It depends on what files you have where. You have the entire library on the outside or do you only media files?  If the entire library, you can move it:

  Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.  https://support.Apple.com/HT201596

  If only the media files, you need to consolidate:

• Western digital external drive not recognized in windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a new external hard drive (elements Western digital 1 TB) and my laptop is also new (windows 7).

  When I connect my external hard drive, its getting detected in the bottom right of the machine by displaying a small icon. considering that, the external hard drive is not displayed in my computer.

  In disk management, his appears as Disk1, on right click on it, getting only "convert the dynamic disk' and 'Properties' are enabled.

  In disk management, in the list of volumes, 5 empty volumes are also there. Right click on these only "Delete Volume" is enabled. "Change drive letter and paths" is disabled.

  Please help me solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  Yo!

  A bit of a ball in the twilight. I'm wondering is someone else had this unit, tried to change the way it has been implemented and "messed up." I would take this one back and get another - especially if you got it in one of the "big box" stores If you're inclined to try to fix it, be aware that this may affect your ability ot return it for Exchange or credit. Depends the seller policies.

  Right mouse click have the drive in the list to see the options. If they are correctly set, it may be possible to simply assign a drive letter to each volume of 'empty' If this configuration is OK with you.

  Otherwise, the fix would involve will use the facilities of disc to remove the present volumes, and then creating one or more. Make sure that you choose to format the logical disks as and assign it a drive letter. See the Windows Help system.

  Let us know.
