External hard drive library and USB flash drive

My iPhoto library is located on my external hard drive (laptop HD too full). I'll bed traveling for Xmas, so copied about 1GB of pics (organized into an album) to the flash drive to take with me. Once disconnected from the external drive (where the library is), how do I access the flash drive pics on my laptop? Will not iPhoto try to find the (disconnected) library?

Hi there
1. How did you copy the 'album' to the flash drive? You can't really export albums, as they are a virtual entity. only the pics therein.
2. On your laptop, connect the flash drive to it and go iPhoto -> File -> Import and imprt them into the Library.
Regards
TD

  • Mounting NTFS,FAT32 and USB FLASH drive

    Problem and problem!!
    I am going to fade up with Solaris 10. Please somebody help me!!
    Problem is with mounting my FAT32, NTFS partitions and USB flash drive (twinmos).
    How can I mount FAT32, NTFS file system and my USB flash drive in Solaris 10??

    cN: the N'th disk controller installed in the system
    tN: the SCSI TARGET id. Also used for atapi, firewire and usb mass
    storage device, but it's always 0. Use to identify a specific disk
    device on the disk controller.
    dN: the SCSI LUN id. For atapi devices this is 0 for master device,
    1 for the slave device. For usb mass storge devices this field could
    contain a value > 0 - for example usb flash card readers often
    present the slots for the various flash card formats as multiple LUNs. For simple usb flash memory sticks, this should be
    LUN 0.
    sN: the slice N from the SunOS disk label. On a media without a
    disk label, slice 2 can be used to access all of the medias contents. Solaris SPARC supports slices s0 - s7, Solaris x86
    slices s0 - s15.
    pN: on Solaris x86 only: p0 is the whole disk (similar to slice s2,
    when there's no SunOS disk label), p1 - p4 are the four primary
    fdisk partitions.
    The ":c" suffix assumes the media contains the fat filesystem in
    a separate fdisk partition, searches the fdisk partition table for
    the first partition containing a fat filesystem, and mounts the
    filesystem from that partition. On Solaris x86, instead of using
    "p0:c" you could also use one of the p1 - p4 device; but the pN
    fdisk slices don't exist on Solaris SPARC.

  • OS 8.6 and USB flash drive

    Is there software that will allow me to save my old documents and photos from my G3 iMac to a USB flash drive? Or is it not a software problem. I guess all flash drives are now USB 2.0. Any other ideas to salvage my old files?

    I tried http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60394
    Unfortunately, the software installation failed, see below. When following your instructions for my G3 iMac running Mac OS D1-8.6 and a 96MB hard drive, the computer froze during the Install Software part of the installation routine after clicking the Start and the Continue buttons even though all other software was off. Does anybody have a suggestion what may have caused this? Perhaps my non Apple-authorized SCSI board which I put in myself years ago?
    Thanks

  • Time Maching backup and USB flash drives problem with TC

    I have a time capsule that is currently backing up my computer for the first time. I want to add a USB hub to the USB port so I can add my flash drives and setup a printer wirelessly. I plugged in one of my flash drives into the USB port and a folder popped up that was titled "NO NAME". Is there any reason why TC isn't recognizing this as a disk and letting me move files to/from the flash drive. Additionally, is there anyway to backup the day-to-day Time Machine files to the flash drives instead of to the TC, or would this not be recommended?
    Thanks to all who can help!

    I have successfully mounted a USB flash drive but had to first reformat and name it using Disk utility. I am also using a USB hub with an external 750G drive attached through the USB hub.

  • How do I safely remove my sd card and usb flash drives from my iMac?

    iMac newbie here.  After years of PC messes and crashes I finally converted to iMac.  However it's not always easy to find what I am looking for.  The first time I disconnected a usb flash drive a warning appeared on the screen.  I neglected to jot down the instructions.  Now I want to remove the SD card for my phone, and I don't want to mess anything up.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

    You posted in the iMac forum; to properly dismount any external drive from a Mac, drag its' icon to the trash can. Then you can unplug it. I don't have an iphone, so I can't answer that. You'd get more knowledgeable answers for that question in an iPhone forum.

  • Rhapsody and USB flash drive.

    I recently downloaded Rhapsody in order to transfer my music files to my Samsung Phone. That works great.
    I like the program so much I have tried to make it my primary music program on my PC
    I'm having a problem however. If I have a USB flash drive plugged into my computer, Rhapsody will not run. It locks up. 
    If Rhapsody is running and I plug in a flash drive, Rhapsody locks up. 
    I am running Windows XP. 3.2 Gig dual core processor, 3.25gig of ram. 
    Anyone else encounter this? What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix? 
    Thanks. 

    This is more a compatibility issue with your computer and the program itself. You will need to contact Rhapsody support for further troubleshooting. Here is the link for support Click Here

  • Booting from hard disks 2TB - bootable USB flash drive GRUB (w/o OS)?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about setting up a hardware supported RAID on a Debian-server (Proxmox) with lots of HDD-space. Therefore, my RAID-array will be >2TB, but I've read that the BIOS of the system will not be able to boot from such. Do you have a solution for this?
    I was thinking about installing a bootable GRUB on an USB flash drive, which would then chainload the RAID's GRUB for booting. Is this even possible? I couldn't find any tutorial on how to create/boot only a (customizable) GRUB from the flash drive.
    Another option would be to create multiple disks by the RAID-controller, but i'm not sure what happens with the chunks, if i would add another disk to the RAID to expand it.
    A third solution, that came to my head, is simply installing Proxmox on a separate disk and detach it from the RAID. But in case of a disk failure, it would not be protected and i would rely on snapshot-backups - so i rather would not like to go with that solution.
    Let me know what you think!
    VR

    I don't know about the answers to your issues, as I have never tried any disks that large.  But it would probably be wise not to mention that you are trying to do this on a non Arch system, as now I am pretty sure you will not recieve the help you desire.
    I don't mean to say that I encourage you to try to dupe our community into helping you with your debian system by not mentioning it.  But it seems pretty silly to come to the Arch threads looking for debian support, even if it is a universal (os independent) issue.

  • Filevault 2 encryption and USB flash drives in Lion 10.7.1

    I have my harddrive on my MacBook Air encrypted with File Vault 2 under Lion 10.7.1  Seems to work fine until I try and backup using time machine. Its very very very slow. - its saying it will take days to back up 90GB  to a 256GB USB memory stick.
    I thien tried to copy about 40GB of files to the stick and it was much faster - about 2 hours.
    I thought that these files would be encrypted and unreadable on other macs? I plugged the stick into another mac and read the files just fine? I want them to be encryoted - does FV 2 support this  capability?

    If you copy files from an encrypted volume to an unencrypted one, the copies will be unencrypted. Using Disk Utility, you can format the USB device as Mac OS X Encrypted.

  • How to burn a powerpoint 2013 presentation to a DVD R and or USB flash drive.

    My Powerpoint 2013 slideshow includes photo's, clip art with transitions and animations and embedded music.   I want to
    burn this presentation to either  a DVD disk or a USB flash drive and send it to a friend.   My friend has a windows 7 desktop
    computer and a DVD player attached to a TV.   Ideally I want to know how to burn the presentation to a DVD so that the presentation can be played back on the TV using the DVD player.    I do not want to lose any of the transitions
    or animations when I burn the presentation to a DVD.          I know most TV's have a USB connection but have no idea how this works if the
    presentation is copied to a USB flash drive.   What are my best options to keep the integrity of the presentation intact, and how do I go about doing this?   I need detailed instructions please.   Thanks in advance
    for your assistance.
     

    Hi,
    The factor of keeping the integrity of presentation when you burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive depends on performance of DVD disk and USB flash drive.
    There are two ways to put PowerPoint presentation on a DVD convert PPT to video.
    1. Convert PPT Files To DVD is to use a screen capture software.
    2. Convert and Burn PowerPoint Presentation onto DVD would be to use a professional PowerPoint to DVD converter software.
    For more detail information:
    http://worldclassmedia.com/how-to-convert-powerpoint-files-to-dvd-put-a-powerpoint-presentation-on-tv/
    If your TV doesn’t have built-in processors or Windows installed, it can’t run PowerPoint presentations in their native environment from a USB connectors. If so, you should convert it to video format first.

  • MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

    Hi, all!
    I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
    I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the  four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
    Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
    I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
    Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

  • How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    Do it with Windows, not with iTunes. Copy your whole iTunes folder from the hard drive to the USB flash drive. Or, if you have music not in the iTunes folder, then copy the whole My Music folder.
    Before you start, make sure the flash drive has capacity. Most iTunes libraries are bigger than most flash drives. If you need more room, consider an external hard drive, which have much more capacity than a flash drive.

  • USB flash drive as startup

    How does one create a startup drive on a USB flash drive? I had read about doing this when I was still using 10.3, and now that I have been using 10.5 and an intel Mac, I thought it would be handy in the event of a hard drive failure.

    Leon Smith -
    I just did this, I needed a 16 GB Flash Drive and I had to do a custom install to reduce the size of the System. You have to format the drive first with either APM or GUID as all normal drives. Then install your system. In my case I had to reduce the System install as much as possible as I had 10.5.4 on my System discs. And the Combo Update for 10.5.8 requires at least 5 GB of remaining space to run. You will find that writing to the Flash Drive is at a crawls pace compared to a normal hard drive so leave plenty of time. The end result is a bootable drive however in an emergency, even if very slow. Good luck!

  • How to detect USB Flash Drive name in LabVIEW

    Hi there
    I was looking for how to detect a USB Flash Drive name in Labview
    appearently every time i insert USB Flash Drive in a computer, windows assign it a different name
    once "J:" and sometimes "M:"
    Is there anyway to obtain USB Flash Drive name programmatically in Labview ?
    Because in my program an user shouldn't be able to access HDD Drives except his USB Flash Drive (for inserting some file ...)
    thank you and excuse me for my poor english 

    I was able to get the demo.vi to load, but it could not load the other two because there is no block diagram associated with those.  I'm not sure why this is.  I haven't had any issues with other llbs before.

    Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

    Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
    I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.
