Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

Hello.

So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

See you soon,.

  • 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

  • Back-Up * two * computers with * a * external hard drive?

    I have a Dell desktop computer and a laptop 6358.   Vista on the laptop, XP the other.

    I would buy an external hard drive and use it to back up the two systems.

    Is it not just possible, but easy to use?  I don't want a fancy coding project, as I am just a user

    Other tips suggest it may be better to just get two separate drives, but I thought I would seek some straight dope here in the world of HP.

    Thanks in advance.

    If the drive supports USB 2.0, then're you good to go.  If you need to save a file that is greater than 2 GB, then you can benefit with eSATA if taken in charge by your PC.  If you have up to 500 MB of data, then USB 2.0 would be an acceptable compromise.  Remember that the speed of transfer of files more small piles is much slower than a large file.  That's why I like to put important data in a partition logic extendend separate on the same hard drive and use an imaging program to back up this partition on CD, DVD, or another hard drive.  The result is a compressed image unique record about 1/2 the size of the source partition.

  • Disk utility finds several files and folders after formatting external hard drive

    It is somewhat an Enigma to me. I bought an external hard drive that I wanted to use to store my Time Machine backups. I formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled case-sensitive) without any problems, however, I noticed that disk utility indicated that I had 18 and 59 files (space used = 448,1 Mb)!  I ejected the disc, it reconnected and utility found 64-19 records to disc now! How is that possible? What is going on?  I used the 'diskutil list' command on the Terminal, and I found the following:

    / dev/disk2

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 disk2

    1: disk2s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS disk2s2 backup 499,8 Gb

    I see there are 2 partitions, even if I made a partition during formatting of the drive.  I don't know if this 'normal' or if I'm doing something wrong. I would be very happy any help you can give! Thank you very much!

    It's normal. new disc format have information. When you start the firmware queries drives to see what is on them to find if they ae bootable

  • Why can I not republish media in my external hard drive?

    I started a project, then had a friend to copy and paste the overall structure of the project and continue to work on that. I got it to give me a.

    Hi Michelle,

    My suspect your OWC drive is the problem. Frequently, OWC customers use the right of the car out of the box and it will work properly with Premiere Pro. The drive is not formatted correctly. It must be backed up and reset with Apple disk utility. Then it will work as expected.

    Unfortunately, it can be a long process of moving all the media on this drive, reset, then copy it all back. Before doing all this, copy one of the files on your Mac HD and see if it can be reprinted for the moment. If so, this is certainly the OWC drive giving you trouble.

    Thank you

  • Why has Lightroom copied my pictures from my external hard drive to my drive internal while the import?

    I loaded all my photos on an external hard drive, created a new catalog and imported into Lightroom CC. However, there, without checking the book 'copy' copied all the pictures imported on my internal drive and they also linked in this way. Is it possible to ask Lightroom to just link the photos on my external hard drive?

    If you want pictures to stay where they are on the import, you must specify "Add", not "Move" or "copy".

  • Why import AVCHD properly storing sequences map (SD card) while the same images completely transferred to an external hard drive imports only the video with no audio?

    I shoot on a Sony Alpha a65 and it uses AVCHD when recording. I have not met this problem before.

    I transferred the entire contents of a memory card on my external hard drive.

    I tried to import the images from the hard drive, both using the import media browser-only video clips are imported with NO AUDIO.

    I thought that I had corrupted images as my memory card was images of two different rods. I turned one on 2 October and the other on 15 Oct (approx.).

    HOWEVER: I then tried to import directly from the SD card - and it worked! Audio, video and all.

    I can change this being, of course, but it's a concern I have obviously can't keep the SD card only for this sequence forever - and backup to external hard drive will not audio. That might mean that I won't be able to pick up on it in the future, if necessary.

    Can you help solve this problem – that is, with the film which is not imported correctly from the external hard drive or why something is lost in the transfer - and explain why this happens?

    Please note: I tried marqueeing everything and do drag and drop, as well as select and drag / move, when you transfer the images from the SD card to the external hard drive. I'm using a Lacie Rugged 1 TB (firewire option).

    Maybe there's a hidden system files that are not copied.  You have "View hidden files" enabled and "do not show system files" in the Folder Options disabled?

  • External hard drives are not recognized by Lr4

    When I plugged my two external hard drives to my computer this week, Lr4 does not recognize them. Each folder has a question mark by it.

    Appreciate any help... Thank you!

    Dave, none of us "aid" are employees of Adobe, we're all users just like you... it is a user forum where we all help each other.

    Return to the specifics of your problem, "eject" is a function, you should find the area of the Windows taskbar system tray, but you may need to click the little pointing up (marked in blue on the attached screenshot) arrow to 'show hidden icons', which will reveal a bunch of other icons and the one you need is marked in red. Click on that to reveal a list of devices that can be ejected, select the one you want and wait to be advised that it is safe to unplug.

    To be honest, I would never disconnect a drive just unplug him.

    Regarding your other external drives, like I said that Windows will assign the first available drive letter, unless you use the "edit the drive letter" option to assign a specific drive letter... in this case Windows will remember this assignment and will subsequently always use this letter provided it is available at the time of reconnection. In other Windows do not book the drive letter, but it will use it if it happens to be available.

    For this reason that I attributed to all drive letters my backup hard drives that I regularly remove after use, so I know I will always get the same letter each time (which is fundamental to my backup strategy).

  • Why my external hard drive cannot be mounted or viewd by a Macbook

    Hello

    I can't see my HD exertenal from the finder.

    I do not have G-Tech HD and I use with TimeMachine. This HD has two partitions.

    The first is used for the backup with Time Machine, a macbook air, and the second partition is used to back up a macbook pro with Time Machine.

    It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook). Now, it is not possible to mount the external hard drive. From the Finder, I see no partition eighter the first or the second.

    I plugged it in an another mAcbook air and no way to see inside the external hard drive.

    Howerver, I pluggged in a 14.04 ubuntu and I was able to navigate through the external hard drive

    Why can I see the contents of the external HD with a ubuntu n not with a Macbook?

    And how can I solve this problem?

    See you soon

    El Capitan has permissions configuration much tighter than earlier versions of Mac OS X and it can become a problem to open files from a different computer. You need to tell us what OS you are running on all computers.

    I suspect that Ubuntu is having no problem because it does not under the same restraint of permissions.

    It worked fine until I look in the external hard drive (partition macbook).

    What you have done here, caused the change of permissions.

    Don't forget that connect a player directly on a computer and use it plugged into an airport will have different permissions issues.

    I don't have much in the way of a solution. Apple has changed repair them permissions on El Capitan.

    You have a Mac running an earlier version of Mac OS X?

  • External hard drive creates folders and files and lose the music I synced to it.

    I've been struggling with my 8 GB Clip +, which is the same thing my old 4 GB Clip + has. It creates files SID and incorporate in the album folders. Renamed it with records of the characters of 8 or 9 (alpha and digital) at the beginning of the file name, and some of the music I download does not exist when I disconnect the player and it refreshes. It does this for MP3 AND WMA files, if I use Media Player or Windows Explorer.

    I loaded all my WMA files on the internal hard disk (that works absolutely perfect), responsible for MP3s ONLY on the external hard drive and got the same result. The external hard drive has been reformatted, there is no debris of what anyone to spoil things. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    So after spending most of my Sunday with my 8 GB Clip + and its 8GB external drive, I found that the problems mentioned previously disappear if opt you for USB mode MSC. I was then able to transfer MP3 and WMA using Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer. I even got to explore open and hung out and deposited the files in window Media Player sync. Very Cool! Also, when I tried to copy something that she already had, he said that the case was already transferred. Amazing! In the past, it should continue to record the same.

    Although I must say that a WMA file problem: some of the music files were not correctly identified and is not 'stick' to the albums they came from. But a search for individual songs revealed they were always there, even if the Sansa could not "identify the album they belong to.

    I hope this helps others. At the end of the day, my advice is: If you have an external drive, the USB MSC mode, and you won't have any major problems - just a few small, boring ones.

    And thanks for the two of you who responded to my original post. Yes, the player has been on auto-detection mode - not good.
