With the help of an external backup drive

Hi, I have stored all my Lightroom images in an external drive and have also saved them in a second external hard drive. Only the Lightroom Catalog is currently stored in the internal drive, it will be saved in another external drive in the near future.

I have a question; What happens if my external hard drive fails. How can I access Lightroom images from the external hard drive to backup. Could someone please indicate the steps I have to take. For more information, two external drives are synchronized using free software Allway Sync.

Thanks to you all.

you do this in the Lightroom folder Panel, you right-click on the top-level folder and select "Find Missing folder

Please excuse my ignorance. I have connected the backup drive to the computer and click with the right button on the top-level folder, but what's next?

  • With the help of 2 external hard drives

    I want to connect 2 external hard drives (OWC Mercury Elite Pro) to my iMac.  I use one for the pictures and the other for the safeguarding of the iMac.  The two hard drives come with FireWire, USB 3 cable also.  Is it possible to connect the two leads one to the other with fireware, or do I need to connect one with firewire and other separately with USB? I would like to get the speed of firewire to both if possible.

    Thank you

    Martha Lyle

    Yes, you can connect in series up to 70 FireWire devices. Plug a drive in firewire on Mac port and the second in unoccupied left FW of the first drive.

  • Problems of libraries Java build path. With the help of an external CONTAINER as a library in a BlackBerry app.

    Hello

    I have two codes, the application code and the code of the library.

    The application should use the jar as a library file.

    Application-> App

    Library-> AppLib

    I work with Eclipse and JRE 5.0. I have a problem. I'm trying the AppLib.ja the Java Build Path of the application code, as in a normal Java application. Copy "AppLib.jar" in my project and select Java Build Path libraries does not work. Browser files doen't show me the new file. Therefore, I can select the library project folder as external JAR, but when I test the app on BlackBerry I get an error do not find the module:

    > App starting error: Module 'AppLib' not found

    To export my application for BlackBerry I only select the file "App.alx" with the Desktop Manager. I should also add, somehow, the Jar file?

    What I am doing wrong?

    I think if I could include 'AppLib.jar' because no JAR external to compile the project would be expected for that library properly in the "App.alx" but as I have said, for example, if I put the "AppLib.jar" in the folder "App\ lib\" file path browser version does not show me the file and I can't select it. I can only do so if I select in the AppLib\deliverables\Standard\5.0.0\, but not found problem occurs then.

    Can someone help me?

    I won't put my library code in the application code. It is not very comfortable. And it would be a bit dodgy.

    Thank you very much.

    Greetings.

    ibarrera, that is not the problem.

    First, when copying a file to your project via the OS Explorer, you must refresh the project in Eclipse in order to get visible. otherwise, if the Eclipse do not see, the .jar file is not going to join your project. But I know that's not the problem.

    In the second place, to get this .jar file be included in your project as non-external, you must add as first external, close this wizard properties re-open; Then select the .jar file, you just added and click on "Migrate JAR file" button. Find the .jar file in the project and click Finish.

    This is done, your project will be ready to be built and executed.

    I hope this helps. Good luck to all.

  • I have a problem with the appropriation of an external hard drive.

    Original title: hard Ex property issues

    I am a local administrator and I am currently taking possession of an external hard drive. The drive is NTFS. He said currently the owner of the car is unavaible. I can't open the drive and I get E:\ is not accessible. Access is denied. When I try to change the permissions, it says I don't have the right to change permissions and when I try to take ownership of the drive I get E:\ is not accessible. Access is denied. My user use this player to switch between two computers on different networks. A computer is one out of a COMPLETE domain name and others is a stand alone however he uses his ACC even to connect the two systems. None of these machines can see the owner. I am at a loss someone running into that? The drive is completely useless unless I can understand that. Also, I tried to format the drive. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give.

    If you have tried formatting the drive, why not repartition it first?

  • With the help of an external source via Photos on Mac app

    Hi all!

    Anyone know if it is possible to have photos of access app Photos from a different source? Currently the photos app will see what's on your device. However, I have a 128 GB Macbook so do not keep my photos out there. I'm looking for a way to access my photos through the WD My Cloud drive I have through the Photos app. The reason for this is that I was hoping to use iCloud sharing photos so I can edit photos with my iPad and then extinguished by e-mail and post them on my Mac. I also prefer the Photos app on all devices on WD my cloud application.

    I know it sounds a little confusing, but I'm happy to explain to someone who doesn't quite understand how I explained.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yyour entire library of Photos can be moved to an external drive. Just copy it to a new drive, then double-click the photo library file. This will 'learn' Photos where the pictures are stored.

    When you enable iCloud photo library on your Mac and your devices, you will indeed have access to all your iCloud files.

    One caveat: iCloud library is NOT a solution to backup for your item photos and videos. You should always set your library of Photos on your Mac to original copy. It's OK to keep your libraries on the as optimized device. It will keep the storage space on the iDevices.

  • What operating system you format a disc is important? With the help of an external box.

    I was wondering is it questions that BONES a person format a drive in?

    Using my laptop which has Vista Home Premium 64-bit of pre format internal disks and some internal drives in enclosures for use with XP Home Edition 32-bit and switch external references between them.

    I think the only thing that matters is the MBR or GPT and 2 TB or more. Go choose MBR and they are 2 TB or less. 7200 RPM.

    Also out of curiosity, are there any editions of Windows that, for some reason, create a problem?

    Hello, Brian V V,.

    It would not matter which drive shape you as long as his intern. Also it is not dependent on any version of Windows.

    You can go ahead and the value of the player or the primary partition and go on the Windows installation.

  • HP DV6 recovery HELP! With the help of an external display because of the screen broke

    Hello and thank you all,

    So I have a dv61149 windows7 running with a broken screen, the screen has not been a problem so far that I have an external monitor via VGA. Now I have to do a cover of the factory, but I don't see what I do once my computer reboots into recovery!

    HP Recovery Manager says his will reboot in recovery environment, very cool. but I'm sure theres buttons to hit after the reboot... so. pWnd?

    Thanks for the reply but I fixed it myself. I could not buy a new screen. obviously. so I disassembled the laptop computer and completely deleted my screen. now when I boot, the computer can't find it so it automatically sends out video via vga. I see same BIOS now.

    Hope this helps anyone else with this problem. take apart seemed to be a huge task but it wasn't bad at all, my computer pretty much had like 15-20 screw the rest just broken into pieces and broken back together, it was pretty easy.

  • With the help of an external numeric keypad with L10

    How is it possible without using the FN + F10 key. Tecra a2 has a setting to Toshiba hardware level to activate an external keyboard how to get this model doesn t?

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don t know what you mean exactly. The combination FN + F10key enable the use of the symbols of hail (gray color). If you want to use the external keyboard just connect and install the driver if necessary.

    As you all know Toshiba laptops don't have the same preinstalled software (like HWsetup). This kind of software is preinstalled on the class divisions which are dockable like Tecra, Portégé or same Satellite Pro. L10 is not business class, and I assume that this is the reason why this option is not available.

  • How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

    How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

    Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
    My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
    What should I do?...
    Looking forward to your audience you shortly.

    1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

    2 check the photos and click OK.
    NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

    3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

    4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

    This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).
