• Problem with a Toshiba PX1267E 320 external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with a Toshiba px1267e 320 external drive, when everything was ok with it I would like to move on and the blue led would come and change blue /violet as it was found on my laptop, a small vibration could be felt if I handled the case which indicates that the d/d engine was on.

  After that fateful morning I turned on one explores in my computer and found no ext drive, checked the blue led disc on affected the case allowed to detect any vibration, eclipsed the reader of the case put my ear to hear low clicking.

  I removed the device and connected to shopping cart, this time I could feel the engine goes, connected to the laptop, new hardware found made my computer explore and didn't find any drive, Device Manager enabled and found it so I uninstalled and reconnected the usb with the same result.
  I don't know what to do next.

  I had a Word with computer store if they could recover some time I wait they told at least 6 hours work, if possible (don't want to shop)
  Bought me another model of the same digital Western not and new power to try to exchange the electronic circuit just in case he finds also the and/or possible fault we power/s but I'm clutching at straws here.

  Anyone of you guys, here you have something like this happen? any suggestions?
  I'm curious to know what they were going to try in the store to retrieve even if he said that he could not guarantee the results.
  I would appreciate any helpful suggestion (not throw it in the trash)

• Hi, I put all my files raw on an external drive and add directories to lr. Is this way of working with slower rawfiles?

  I know that, of course, that's a (usb2.0) connection slower than my c drive which is ssd, but what happens when I in develop mode? is the file copied into memory or lr works with the external drive permanently? I only have a small ssd disk so I can't have y rawfiles on my c drive: () I got the idea of having a working directory on drive c, but is it really necessary? -What is much slower to work from my external hard drive?

  Jitendra thanks, I know I can but is a big step down from performance wise work of external drive?

  As long as the catalogue LR, file Previews and the camera Raw Cache not located on your C: drive faster shouldn't you see a loss of performance module develop. The library module, you can build Standard previews when importing and updating when editing images. After modifying a group of images in the develop module, select all the and go to the menu library > previews > Build Standard - Sized Previews. If you need to return to a group of images to 1:1, select them and choose Build previews of 1:1. Keep in mind that the library module should be used to review and rating of groups of images because it uses the already rendered previews. The develop module makes the images in real time. What is significantly slower. Following these procedures of workflow you shouldn't have performance problems with the images on an external drive.

• Lightroom Workflow with 2 portable external drives and old Macbook Pro?

  I am considering buying two portable external drives 2 to USB 3.0 WD for use with Lightroom.  I save the original photos on the external hard drive, an and save backups of these photos on external hard drive 2.    I have a laptop MacBook Pro older (early 2011) and understand that even if USB 3.0, as my laptop drives will always use only 2.0 because of his age and will be more slow, but still OK in general.  This will be too slow to use Lightroom for my laptop to access photos that are on the external hard drive #1 for editing?  For reasons of speed, to the seller for external drives has suggested that I have first save my photos on my laptop computer, edit them there using lightroom and then then save original photos of external drive (as the teacher) and two external drive (as backup).  He then suggested that I delete photos from my laptop to keep storage here low.  That looks like it would defeat the purpose of Lightroom, and I would say even not sure if links with my changes would remain unchanged.  (I'm new to Lightroom).  The seller said that he was not a user of Lightroom.   Please advise on an appropriate workflow to edit, save, and back up effectively with an older MacBook Pro laptop.

  I worked with images on an external hard drive in the past and have never experienced performance problems in doing so. You can keep your catalog on the external drive as well. In this way, the hard drive can be moved from one computer to another if necessary.

  Animated images from your hard drive of the laptop on the external drive will not lose the settings because all settings are stored in the catalog. If you do all your withdraw in Lightroom and then the program keep track where the images and all settings are retained. But unless you are experiencing a kind of performance achieved by working with your images on an external drive, I do not think that there is no advantage in editing and then get out them externally.

• How a recovery of space on a LaCie external drive for an iMac?  This 1 TB drive says now "integral" and I need to reclaim space without loss of data.

  I have an IMac 3 - year, which was saved with a 1 to LaCie external drive, using Intego Backup Assistant.  Obviously I'm not successfully back up because I wasn't expecting this drive must be complete.  That said, how to fix the problem. ? I need to see the data that is on the disk and to eliminate duplication of work, and then I'll need to reform the backup process so that I have not fill up the drive.  I am not particularly adept at information technology, so more detail that can be provided, the better it is!

  What a pity that you have not started using Apple built-in Time Machine from the beginning. It deletes older backups as needed.

  That being said, the only way is to do it again. I'd get a new drive and copy what you absolutely need and wipe.

• move the external drive photo library to iCloud

  Hello

  I just bought the option 1 TB, for my 300 GB library. With my MBP, I use an external hard drive, but I won't use it... So I sent the 300 GB, but if I start the Photo, there's still the library on disk external HARD... is not possible to use iCloud as the main library?

  Thank you very much.

  Fred of France

  iCloud library is essentially a synchronization services to keep your library in iCloud as centralized storage and reference to synchronize all volumes.  If you change a photo to one of your libraries on one of your devices, the changes will be updated in iCloud and synchronize all of your devices that are synchronizing with iCloud photo library. All libraries on all synchronized devices will always display the same pictures, montages, albums, metadata.

  So you will need a library t sync with your Mac.  To save storage, you can use the "Optimize Mac storage" option in the preferences to iCloud. Then the image original high-resolution fies will be stored only in icloud and your Mac will replace them with smaller and optimized, versions if the storage is not enough for the version high resolution.

• Seen my original library cut in two, can I have the second library on my laptop with images referenced on my external hard drive?

  Following the Division of the library and the Organization,

  I can duplicate the library system on an external hard drive. Then divide the library and erase part of it on my library system and do the same on the library to external hard drive blocking the erased part of the library system. Essentially to save space on my laptop. But I need to have two libraries on my laptop, one with the originals and iCloud services, and the second with "small pictures" listed on the external hard drive. Can I do it? How can I do? ¿Is - it safe on two libraries?

  Thank you!

  If you want to turn outside your library in a referenced library, with the originals on the external hard drive, you can not do it by duplicating the library if your original library is managed. Does not support photos to transform photos managed in referenced. The only way to make a photo referenced must import it such that referenced.

  You can do the following:

  • Export all the photo you want to move to a second library to your external drive.
  • Then, create an empty library on your internal drive and import the photos exported to this library with the preference "import. Copy items to the library' for disabled people.
  • Delete all the photos in your library that you moved to your new library referenced iCloud.
  • Keep a backup copy of your original library on your external drive, so that you can revert to the original version, if you made a mistake.

  Why I see pictures when I click on the tab all the photos above, which do not show in the tree on the G: drive?

  DSC_2429 is in the shown locaton and present in all the Photos, but there is no folder "Tulsa"... "in the tree.

  The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

  Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

  If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

• I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

  I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

  Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

• How to change the location of the folder to iCloud on external hard drive OSX

  Hi, I have a small hard drive (128 ssd) I'd like to archive my photos in the ICloud drive. Currently I store in my external drive usb, but if I copy them to the folder of the iCloud drive it will consume my internal space I want to stay free. Ideally, would be to have iCloud drive linked to the file in the external hard drive, so he would be sure space me ssd.  I can't find any option in system to change his circumstances as I can with the photo library.

  There is no option

• I have lost my original photos from my local drive if I optimized my iCloud library?

  I moved my photo (900 GB) library on an external drive. The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos. I'm afraid of losing my originals from my local drive. Optimization of my library will erase my originals from my local computer? I have to delete my old library in iCloud that has already gone through the pain staking the download process (759GB) in order to reuse my iCloud? I try to avoid to keep my computer another 3 months. Simply cross ICloud cannot check the new library with my iCloud library and move on. How can I start again using my iCloud? Please give me some advice or assistance. Thank you

  The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos.

  What is your external drive only has 1 TB of storage?  You have found the warning because the 900 GB in iCloud and the size of your current library on the external hard drive will not fit on the disc. If you have a disc, use a drive twice the size of your library of Photos, so you will not miss storage in the years to come. Any drive that you use with pictures must have Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.

  iCloud library does not know, the pictures are identical. It will download all the photos in the library moved to iCloud and check if they are duplicates. And it only allows you to introduce you, if you use 'Optimize', if the combined size of the photos in iCloud and on your Mac is larger than the available storage.

  And Yes, the "optimize" option can cause some originals will be deleted. It is completely dynamic.  You can turn this option off again directly after that you turned the library on the external drive as your iCloud photo library for re-download all original, and before Photos was able to start optimization. Do it only if you are sure, the library will fit.

  If you do not all projects in your photo library and did not use the function "Faces" and has invested a lot of work by naming the faces, you could simply start with an empty library on your external drive and let the photos to download icloud to the empty library. It will be faster to download again and the merger of the library moved in your library to iCloud. The only downside, the tags of faces will be missing and your books and other projects. If you need to keep a backup copy of the library has moved.

• Fast download of all pictures of iCloud on an external drive?

  Hi all

  This question was asked a few times, but no real progress seems to have been done in the past months, so I thought I would ask the question again, perhaps that someone has found a new 'thing '? :

  Location:

  -I would like to save all my (> 40 k pictures) photos currently in iCloud on an external drive.

  -I don't have enough memory space on my Mac to Park gradually through 'Photos' (i.e. download all original to my mac-function)

  -I want to directly choose a location (i.e., my external HARD drive) to store in.

  What I tried:

  -Via Safari and Chrome: connect to iCloud.com, select all images (via 'Shift' and select photo first + last) and direct downloads on the external drive.

  Problem:

  Since there are so many pictures, my Safari and my browsers Chrome "crashes" and do not complete the work (actually that they don't even start to download). If I select just say 5 pictures, it works in a jiffy.

  Any ideas, I would be grateful?

  Thank you

  Do not use iCloud.com.

  Set up a library on your external drive, make the system library and download the photos, once you've done that you can keep it this way, keep as a secondary library and change the library system to another library or simply export all the photos and remove the library.

• clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

  First time user FCPX.

  I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

  Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

  I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

  After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

  Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

  If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

  Thank you!

  The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

  You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.
