Where are external drives shown

When I am in Lightroom all I see in the Folder Section is my internal hard drive.  I have many images on my external hard drive.  How do I get the external hard drives to show up along with the internal hard drive?

Pete is right, you can't work on them until you've imported them into the LR database. 
This doesn't mean you have to physically move them from the external drive.  When importing simply use the Add option in the import dialog (rather than copy or move) and they will added to the database without moving them from the drive.  You can then access them through LR.

  • Where are printer driver presets stored in Mac OS X 10.5?

    I just bought a new Mac Pro and will be manually migrating files from my G5 PPC. I have several printer presets for three different printers, and I'd really hate to lose them. Where are they stored? I want to make sure I drag them over to the new MP.
    Thanks.

    They are in your home directory's Preferences folder:
    /<home>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    Hope this helps.

  • WHERE are the drive

    This is absolutely ridiculous.Why can't I find drivers on this site?for the Creative?AudioPCI 64 soundcard?This card utilizes the Ensonic es370 chipset. It's common on Dells and Gateways. I need to download?Win98se drivers, and yet the result of every search or attempt to ID this card by model number or chipset number is the following message:?***************"[size="3" color="#00060"> Drivers/Firmware/Applications-Sorry, no Creative updates are available for the selected query. " *************** ?WTFWhy can't Creative make this easyLook, I've been doing tech for a decade, and EVERY time I need something for a Soundblaster legacy card, Creative reminds me why I don't buy their stuff new. ?If they don't support their old cards with friendly, EASY driver downloads, I will NEVER buy their new stuff. ?Sooo... can anybody out there explain where the drivers are being hiddenThanks in advance. ?Kiev500 ?

    Look, someone should update the Creative support download search engine so that users are directed to existing drivers that work for this card. That error message is complete *bleep*. For example, if a user enters: "Creative AudioPCI 64", or "es370", or "Ensonic Audiodri've 3000", or "Audiodri've PCI", or they should be directed to the drivers, NOT to an error message. The system MUST work for people entering chipset numbers like es370. This has to be a common recurring problem, and I can tell you from experience that it leaves a lasting impression. A BAD one. It should be fixed. I did eventually find the right drivers, but the web site driver download search system was no help at all. It took real people to point me to the driver. For that I thank you. Now fix the search engine...

  • Where are stored Driver Packages on SCCM 2012?

    When you create a driver package, you must select directory where manufacture drivers are stored. This directory has got *.inf, *.sys, *.exe, *.msi....etc...but SCCM only find *.inf
    The questions are:
    - Does SCCM put all these files on SCCM database or only *.inf files ?
    - What happend with dependencies with other files?

    Hi, When you say "distribute to your distribution points" does this have to be to ALL distribution points ?
    Im using Fallback for scource content, and i have noticed that there is no option to allow Driver Packages to be deployed from FallBack Source Localtions.
    So my question i suppose is.. do driver packs have to be placed on ALL distribution points even if you have a fallback source location. ?

  • Re:  Leone's post May 2014 about how to best use an external drive with Aperture

    I am trying to find Leone who had a great post May 2014 to Diane. I posted tho same message as a 'Reply' to the Leone/Diane posts but then was worried it would not show up since that was some time ago so I decided I should post it as new.  Apologies if it comes through twice.   I am having trouble as indicated below:
    I found this response to the question about Aperture and external hard drives from last May.  I bought a WD My Book 4TB and need to back up photos I have in Aperture (many!) to free up space.  I am a photographer and need to be able to plug the external drive in as needed, pull a photo out from the WD and back into Aperture to work on it if needed.
    I read your directions to Diane and have the external drive formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  I read the two ways you suggest to move part or all of my library to an external drive and still be able to use it in Aperture with all the metadata saved, as I need to continue to work with the images.  I am not completely clear about the advantage of the 'referenced' method but decided to go with the Split Library because it sounded like the Referenced method would still keep originals (and take space) in Aperture.  I'm not sure about this, but that was what I chose.
    I have backed up my computer, formatted the drive then went to Aperture to begin.  I do the 'Export' and it shows the external drive it will go to but when I click 'OK', it says "EXPORT LIBRARY FAILED - Library could not be create because the file system of the destination volume is not supported."  I doubled checked to be sure the drive was Journaled which it was.  I did call WD and talk to them but they told me this was outside their area.
    Also, in Aperture, I have my photos in Projects by yymmdd.  Is it possible to transfer Projects into the ext. drive without having to break them out of the Projects?
    Any direction anyone might give would be greatly appreciated, Sandy

    Hi Sandy,
    I suggest taking a week or two to get to know Aperture better before proceeding.  Aperture can do many things, and can do what you want.  It's important to be specific about what you want, however.  From what you've said, it appears that you don't yet know.

    [1] A back-up is a copy of digital files stores on a separate device.  A back-up is recommended because drives fail, and humans make mistakes.  A back-up is not used to free up storage space.
    [2] Aperture can be set up in many equally-usable ways.  The program files reside (almost always) on your system drive.  The data files can be anywhere you want them, as long as they are on locally-mounted drive(s).  The main data file is your Library.  The best place for it is on the drive that has the fastest throughput to your logic board.  This is, in nearly 100% of machines, the system drive.  But Aperture functions well with Libraries of secondary drives — internal or external — with sufficient throughput.  USB-3 and Thunderbolt I (& II) provide sufficient throughput for using an Aperture Library on a secondary drive.
    Nearly all photographers will fill whatever storage space is available (making data is what photographers do).  The question is: what do you do when your Library no longer fits on your system drive?  (And remember, you should leave at least 10% (I recommend 20% for heavy users of Aperture) of your system drive free.)  The answer depends, primarily, on whether your computer is portable or fixed in location. 
    If fixed, just buy a more-than-large-enough secondary drive of USB-3 or faster throughput, mount it permanently, and move (using Finder) your Library to it.
    If your computer is portable (and you can't increase the on-board storage), you have to select the best from several confusing alternatives:
    • Put your Library on an external drive with throughput at least as fast as USB-3
    — Pros:  Easy to maintain and back-up.
    — Cons:  Must have drive with you in order to use your Library.
    • Leave your Library on your system drive, but relocate your Images' Originals to an external drive.
    — Pros:  You can work on your Library without having the external drive available.
    — Cons:  You can't export (except Previews), Print, or make adjustments until your external drive is mounted.  Significantly more difficult to administer, especially importing and backing-up.
    • Leave your Library and and _some_ of your Images' Originals on your system drive, and relocate most of your Image's Originals to an external drive.
    — Pros: You can do any work on those Images whose Originals are stored in the Library regardless of where the external drive is.
    — Cons: Yet another level more difficult to administer.
    If you are comfortable with the administrative overhead, the third set-up will be the most rewarding.  Keep all _current_ Images Originals inside your Library, and routinely relocate the Originals of Images no longer current to the external drive.
    In no case is it recommended that you at any time remove from your Library an Image (not the Original — the Image in Aperture) that you expect to ever use again.
    HTH,
    —Kirby.

  • Can't see external drive as an option in projects window.

    Trying to move projects/events from hard drive to external drive and everything I see on-line support says I should be seeing the drive as an option to drag files into.....there are no drives shown in my projects window, just projects.
    I do see the drive at the bottom of the events window but it has a yellow exclamation point alert symbol over it and I can't drag anything to it.
    Anyone have advice?  TIA

    That's your problem.
    can I change that or do I have to buy a new external drive?
    The drive can easily be reformatted, however in that process everything currenlty on the drive will be erased.
    With that caveat in mind, here's a quick overview of how to go about reformtaing using Disk Utility.  It's really quite easy.

  • Itunes folder on an external drive is missing.

    I am getting the following error:
    An iTunes library file could not be found in the folder "itunes music". please choose a different folder.
    I have an external hard drive that has all my music... which is backed up by another external hard drive. The primary drive which iTunes plays from is called Itunes Music - Maxtor (brand of HD). Today when I opened itunes I could not find any of my songs... however could see the drive on my desk top. So when I clicked the drive went to a song double clicked the song the song played in itunes. Meaning the folder is there and the content is still there but itunes won't locate the folder. Also the folder is set up correctly in itunes. meaning in preferences itunes is set up to use the external drive... any suggestions?

    hi,
    the message you got isn't related to iTunes not finding your music files but to iTunes not finding your library files which is called "iTunes Music Library".
    only you can find this files that may have been moved by mistake or may be simply located also on your external drive. if you tried to open iTunes at a moment where your external drive wasn't available, iTunes will give you this message.
    simply find your "iTunes Music Library" file location using Spotlight or the Finder. then start iTunes and select the option to locate your library and browse up to your file. if your songs are stored on an external drive, it is a good practice to keep also your "iTunes Music Library" on your external drive.

  • External drives not showing on desktop

    I have a situation where my external drives are not showing up on my desktop and need additional help on figuring out the problem.
    So far I have read the suggestions to Repair permissions in Disk Utility. However, the drives that aren't showing on the desktop are not showing in Disk Utility either.
    I tried downloading the 10.4.4 Combo Update but upon trying to install it, I am being told that neither my system drive nor my 2nd, internal drive will accept it (red explaination points on both drive icons).
    I tried unplugging all firewire and USB devices and then unplugging AC power. Left computer shut down for 4 hours. No fix.
    Tried zapping P-Ram. No fix.
    Tried my external drives on a G4 computer at work (running OS 10.3). Worked fine.
    Swapped out fire wire cables. Nothing.
    Ran Tech Tool pro. Tests confirm that fire wire drivers are working properly. Passed. I know that this test only checks for drivers and not whether the info is being passed through the connectors.
    The only thing I didn't try was replacing the battery. However, my clock and all other battery dependent items are working just fine and not showing any spuratic signs of malfunction.
    The two external drives I am using are a Western Digital and a one Touch Maxtor. The Maxtors, (so I've read on this thread) have been known to show some signs of inconsistent behavior. However, I've had no issues with it up to this point and I've had it for over two years.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you who have already posted some possible fixes. I appreciate it greatly.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. Are you talking about booting from my external drives?
    Yeah, I haven't actually booted from any of my external drives as they do not have any system software on them to boot from.
    If you have a good backup procedure, I'd love to hear it as I'm always documenting and using new ways to backup my info.
    From here, I plan on going in and running Tech Tool on my two external drives, (now that the computer is regognizing them) to see what I can find out. My guess is that my firewire ports or drivers on the G5 may have gotten a little mixed up when last Thursdays lightning strike cut the power to the neighborhood. However, I do have a battery backup/ surge protection system that's been in place for about a year. It's been working great so the lightning strike may not be the problem. It was a pretty harsh one, though. After looking over the backup system, nothing looks fried or damaged in any way. Still working fine.
    As far as not relying on just one drive, I'm heading into town and picking up a third drive that will back up what's on my existing two externals. This will then be kept safely stored away. By the way, what does IMHO mean? I'm a little rusty on my computer accronyms.
    Thanks again!
    Back to work.

  • Archiving mail on external drive

  • The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

    The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

    This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
    A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

  • I have just restored data from an external hard drive, but half of my iTunes songs are getting the error "original file cannot be located."  Where are these files?

    My Windows 7 PC just had to be reformatted, and I have retrieved all of my files from an external hard drive.  About half of my iTunes library is working fine, the other half pop up the error statement "original file cannot be located."  If they haven't come off my external drive, where are they?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Where are my backed up bookmarks on my external drive?

    Firefox backup issue:
    This is concerning restoring my Bookmarks after having to replace my laptop PC. For the past several years I’ve been backing up my laptop to an external hard drive. I’ve always included the User subdirectory in that backup. The User/Dave/Appdata/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profile s/d is included. Today I needed to restore bookmarks from a prior backup in April, 2012 after reading the Firefox help on this subject, I accessed my external drive and looked in the s/d mentioned above. However when I clicked on the “wp83jzms.default” file, instead of seeing a list of backup dates from which to choose, I only saw files with “Cache” and “unclassifier” in the file name. Where are the backed up bookmarks from that date?
    I also noticed that a different backup had stopped capturing files part way into the Local s/d so that the Mozilla s/d was not written to backup. Wonder what’s up there?
    I’m using Windows 7 and Firefox 13.0.1

    That is the wrong profile folder and only stores the cache files.
    You need the profile folder part in AppData\Roaming to get the main profile folder files.
