Can I back up the organizer, move my photos and still access them in PSE?

I backed up my catalog to an external HD last night and there were about 20 disconnected files.  I was not able to locate them so I allowed the back up to continue without them.  Do you know what the consequences are for that?
Also, several of my photos are on my C drive and several are on the external HD.  My catalog included photos from both places. When I move the rest of my photos from the C drive of my computer to the external HD will the catalog still be able to access them or will I need to back everything up again?
My goal is to free up space on my computer so PSE will stop freezing up.  All I'm intersted in doing right now is getting all of my photos into the organizer and tagged.  I'll edit them later as I begin to create digital scrapbook pages.
Can someone tell me if the way I'm going about this is correct? 
Thank you,

Thank you Ken.  I backed up everything to my external HD, but now I think I'd rather just move everything there and recall my photos from the ext HD to free up space on my C drive.  Is that possible?

When you use PSE to back up your catalog, the actual photos as well as the catalog (database) are backed up. When you restore from a backup, you can specify where the incoming photos will be placed. Ken

    No.
    You need to delete content from your iphone.

  • Can I delete the pictures from my camera and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    Can I delete the pictures in my camera roll and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    No, you can't. If you have created albums on the iPad and think that there are copies of the photos in those albums, that is not how it works. The albums created on the iPad merely contain pointers to the photos in the camera roll or to any synced photos that you have. If you delete the photos from the camera roll, they will be deleted everywhere and will be gone.

  • Can i delete the original photos and still keep them in iphoto?

    My family has a ton of photos in several computers. I want to put it all in iphoto in my mac to keep it organized. But i have read other forums that iphoto COPIES the original photo file into iphoto.
    Is it possible to have all the photos in iphoto without having an extra set in the computer's hard drive? For example, having 100 GB of photos (50 GB hard drive, 50 GB iphoto) doesn't make sense...
    any help is greatly appreciated

    In case the iphoto library goes screwy for whatever reason, you've got them still. Personally, I find it hard to trust that single, packed library (inexperience and paranoia talking, granted).
    Just to clarify.
    The iPhoto Library is a package. What's a package? It's a folder. It has the same properties as every other folder on your Mac except one. It looks like a file. That's the only difference.
    It takes an extra step to open it: Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. See? Just a Folder with other folders inside.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded my 3000  photos. I now want to delete them from my phone. Can I still access them from the cloud of I do? If so how? Thank you in advance.m

    Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos.  Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • TS3274 Could any IPAD USER please advise how I can go back to the Itunes store/library from the movie, music, etc. page?  Only the options for movie/tv/music etc show at the bottom but nothing that will take me back to the side bar. PLEASE HELP, THANKS?

    Could any IPAD User please advise how I can go back to the Itunes/Library/Devices side bar from the music, tv, movies pages?  The only thing that shows at the bottom are the selections for music/movies/ etc.  Thanks

    You don't get a sidebar in the iTunes app on the iPad. Your downloaded and synced music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your videos and TV shows will be in the Videos app - the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store.

  • I can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appear message appear

    These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    please help me to fix this problem
    Thanks
    Krishna.

    You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4.  When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone.  Any thoughts?

    Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

  • HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS.  When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them.  The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

    I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download.  I wish I had read the reviews on it first.  I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install.  I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive.  Meanwhile my itunes updated too.  So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone.  I installed the ios 7.  When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone.  I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone.  Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories.  When I access them I don't get a delete option.  The trashcan is greyed out.  The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function.  How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Long waiting times when going back to the organizer after doing changes of images. Elements 11.

    After doing changes of images and going back to the organizer I have to wait a long time. This was not the case when I used elements 9. I have a lot of images stored around 18000. There are also often long waiting times when I move around in the organizer. Any suggestion?

  • Why can I not play the rented movie...???

    Why can I not play the rented movie...???

    Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
    iPads have a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
    The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if not in violation of fair use laws.
    The advantage of purchasing your movie as a DVD is that you can watch it on ANY device.
    For a better picture, and fewer hassles convert to analog. There are HDMI to Component video adapters available that will solve your problem.
