Can I make a LR web gallery in local storage (my hard drive)

All,
I want my laptop to function as a quick viewer for showing a portfolio.
I thought I'd experiment (for the first time) with the web creation options in LR5.3, but at "Save" time point all materials, files, links, etc. inside my own hard drive or SSDs on the laptop. There are times when I want to show someone images without depending on a connection to the Internet. I have web-delivered services I can use but I am looking for the quickest appearance and on the screen and some control over navigation (able to organize the materials). I want ease of replacement or addition of images from LR as circumstances dictate.
I own Dreamweaver from CS4, and have a little experience setting up links. Perhaps I would have to do some work in Dreamweaver?
My "real" portfolio is a WordPress.org install hosted at my ISP and I might even pay to have that template duplicated on this "local web server" but that's a different question.
Is this going to cause unexpected problems?

I like PDF for this. You can default a PDF document to open full-screen and while the transitions are not infinitely programmable, they are perfectly workmanlike. So one can construct a nice experience IMO. And it's a single file.
OTOH, one thing I have sometimes found when exporting Website to local disk: browser security settings may block certain kinds of scripting or automation, such as Javascript or Flash, from operating - that would have worked fine if accessed instead, from an external web server.
For example, I encountered this yesterday with PTGui's web Flash pano viewer. That needed to be explicitly identified as OK, within the local Flash settings, when running locally.
AFAICT, this is because the scope of the damage that a locally stored file might do, is much greater - purely due to the user permissions it inherits, according to its privileged location. A file downloaded from an externally stored website, will have been more safely quarantined and limited as to the potentially malicious things it can attempt - so will be more readily permitted to go ahead and execute.

Can anyone make a recommendation on the purchase of an external hard drive for my Macbook Pro? I am currently using OS 10.6.8 because I can't upgrade until I clean out my start up disc space. I have a ton of pictures to transfer. Thanks!

Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

How can I make my iPhone 5 automatically transfer photos to my hard drive AND save them in date-named folders?

My old iPhone (2 I think) was set to automatically copy pictures to my hard drive and it categorized them in dated folders... I don't know how I did this but I need to do it again with my new iPhone 5. Suggestions?

If you install Pacasa, you can set up Picase to that all you have to do is click on a button to automatically import the photos into a dated-today folder. You can also configure it to automatically delete the imported photos after importing.

Can't make a partition, even though I completely restored the hard drive.

Hello. I think it'd be best I explain it in full detail to get the most accurate answer. It's a bit long, so please bear with me.
I have a Macbook Pro, late-2009 edition and OS X Lion. (Version 10.7.2)
I want to partition my drive in order to have Windows 7 in my computer. My friend, who was helping me, said that I couldn't immediately make a partition because according to what he checked in my computer, I had made a partition before and it was still there.
Now the backup [haha, pun] of the latter is that my other friend, earlier in the year, had put a Windows virutal machine in my computer and made a small partition of it. I didn't want it anymore, however, and deleted it from my computer. I did, however, follow my friend's steps to appropriately delete the virtual machine and the partition beforehand, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
Anyway, back to the present. My friend thought it would be best to pretty much restore and reinstall my OS Lion. After Lion was reinstalled, I restored all of my files through a Time Machine backup I did the day before.
When he went to go to Boot Camp and make the partition, it had the following window pop up:
However, when we checked disk utility about the format, this is what it says:
You can see that the format is indeed Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
I'm led to believe that the previous partition is still in my hard disk (Although it shouldn't be) and it's causing problems. But honestly, I'm at a loss on what to do right now.
If anybody could give me some kind of answer, that would be lovely. Thank you.

when you installed or upgraded to Lion it should have created Recovery partition.
In some cases just shrink your "Mac HD" repair and then stretch back out.
Boot into Recovery Mode and check the drive and perform the above.

Can I make my airport time capsule into ONLY a external hard drive?

I currently live in Japan and we recently bought a wireless plan through a Japanese company which provides their own modem. You basically connect this modem into the power and WHALA instant internet. It does not allow me to use my airport as router, but I still need to back up all my info since i only have a mini mac which hardly has space, into my time capsule. I really want to keep my time capsule because eventually we will move back to the states and I know i'm going to be right back on it.

As long as the router has ethernet ports you are fine.
Plug the TC WAN port into the router and set the TC to bridge mode .. all will be good.
On the other hand if the ISP has provided you a wireless only device you will find it very hard to setup the TC. It cannot readily join a foreign router (non-apple that is).
In this case, plug the TC directly into your mini by ethernet. And then use it without wireless. (keep the wireless for your internet connection). You might need to do a bit of fiddling .. I can give more details on how to do this setup. But I must say for now it is probably easier to put the TC away and just buy a USB drive. Faster, and much more reliable using a directly connected drive.. especially if the Mini is 2012 model with USB3 ports. But even USB2 is faster than TC.

Hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive?

hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive? please help for i only have around 618mb left out of 189GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times.

How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

Can I increase the capacity of Time Machine with an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule?

Can I increase the capacity of Time Machine with an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule via the USB port? My current Time Machine has a total capacity of 1TB. I'd like to double or triple its memory. I don't want to use the external hard drive in lieu of the Time Capsule hard drive. I'd like to use it in addition to. Just don't know if/how it's possible.
This is another one of those questions that I've searched the web for answers, and have gotten tricky answers back. So now I'm trying to introduce a clean slate to the mix.
Thank you for your time!

Well, what you mentioning is possible. However, I don't know whether it's supported (as in, "easy to set up."). Time Machine officially supports backing up to a locally attached drive, to a machine running a Time Machine server (i.e. running OS X Server software), and to a Time Capsule. I don't know that it officially supports a drive attached to an AirPort or to a Time Capsule. Though I know some people have gotten it to work.
Best I can say is to try it. Plug the drive into the Time Capsule, ensure it's shared on the network, and then try and set it as a backup target from a machine in the Time Machine backup panel (you'll need to ensure it's mounted first). If it works, you're all set.

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

Can I directly back up my itunes files to an external hard drive? To save my internal hard drive.

Can I directly back up my itunes files to an external hard drive? To save my internal hard drive.

If your intent is to remove the songs from your computer's internal drive you don't want to manually move them because iTunes won't know where they are. The safe way to perform this move is to start iTunes, open iTunes Preferences, and select the advanced tab. Plug in the external drive if it isn't already.
Using the picture above as a guide, (1) click on the Change button and select your external hard drive. (I created a Music folder on my external drive because I keep more than just music on it). 2) Click to put checkmarks in the boxes marked (2) and (3) and then click on the Ok button. This sets the stage for copying the music to your external drive and will make sure all your new music is put there as well.
The last step is to select the File menu, choose Library, and then Consolidate Library. This actually moves the music. Depending on how large your music library is and the speed of your external drive this will take a few minutes to a few hours.

Make a new folder and put them in that different folder. Then the names can be the same as others already on your drive.
