External HD doesn't support trash in lightroom

When i delete files from lightroom, it says that my external HD does not support trash.
Any ideas on this?

This came up before and here is my solution:-
I came across a workaround on the web in a forum (can't remember which one) and it's simple.
In the Finder, go to the root level of the external HD which contains your photos; create a new folder, call it anything. Immediately delete the folder.
Return to LR and you should find that photos delete normally after that.
This seems to reset the permissions problem though you have to repeat this workaround every time you reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps.

  • PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset file application support. It is listed as the top external editor. But will not go there

    PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset photoShop file application support. It is listed as the top editor in the Light room preference. But it will not go there. You can use export to Photoshop CC but not as a editor. It stays there. I have OS10.8 and Photoshop CC not Photoshop CC2014 at this time. If I go to presets in Lightroom preferences and push restore export presets
    do I also lose my plugin presets and have to reload them ?

    Glad you were able to resolve your issue. Thanks for posting back with how you did it.

  • How do I have to set an external HD, so that it supports trash under LR5?

    I use OSX10.9.5 and LR5. It is said by LR5 that my ext HD does not support trash. How do I have to set an external HD, so that it supports trash under LR5?
    Thanks in advance

    If you've partitioned it on the Mac, and it was previously partitioned for FAT32 or NTFS, you've lost whatever data was previously on the drive (or within the partition). In order to mount Mac volumes on a PC, your best bet is MacDrive 6 - http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/

  • What do I do if my Mac doesn't support installing Windows from an external USB drive or DVD?

    I have connected now: an external hardrive with windows support software, and a disc with Windows 7 ISO files on it. I have tried to run bootcamp assistant, but when I am given the first dialogue box titled "select tasks", I am not given the first option which should be "create a windows 7 or later install disk". If I skip to the next screen anyway after checking the other options, bootcamp assistant tells me "the installer disc could not be found Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized", even though my DVD with the windows ISO file is in the computer. How do I fix this? Do I need to get an actual copy of the Windows software DVD instead of a DVD with the ISO image on it? Because it seems like my system does not support the ISO DVD. Eeep!

    Thanks Phil0124. I was able to mount the ISO onto the DVD from my disk utility but now I face another problem. Bootcamp recognized the disc and started to install Windows, but stopped and gave me the following error message: "your disc could not be partitioned An error occurred while partitioning the disk".

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
    Rich

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

    MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
    The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
    2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

  • The files are on a volume that does not support Trash- Mountain Lion CC-Lr5

    I'm trying to delete files in Lr5-CC and I'm running Mountain Lion My files are on an external portable HD.  I'm getting a message that says: "The files are on a volume that does not support Trash." Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?  Thank you

    Hello,
    This reply is months late, but hopefully it'll help you or someone else searching with this problem. I was having the same problem and found a way to get rid of it (permanently, it seems so far). The diagram below shows the steps I took in detail.
    Note: This seems to especially be a problem if your photo files on the same disk as a Mac OS installation or bootable backup.
    Hope this helps:

    Thanks in advance

    This is how I solved it, thanks to combined information posted on forums:
    1. Got a new external hard drive formatted for Mac (I was using read-only Windows from my PC)
    2. Created a folder in new external drive >imported to LR->send to trash- empty trash
    3. The above was still not working until I noticed one day magically the missing picture icon started to show up in LR
    4. I went to the "set as rejected"pictures> locate missing pic (and nearby ones)
    5. Selected the pics -photo>remove> delete from disk
    Done!!!
    Thanks to the hours spent on searching different threads, and to the relentless users because LR never provided any kind of support or formal response to solve this by just letting users to getting lost in frustration .

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • I have cs5 and when I try to download a raw file from my Nikon 810 an error message says this versioln of raw doesn't support this camera model. Yet I just updated cs5 online.

    I do not use lightroom and  I have a subscription so I can open all supported RAW formats. You will need DNG file for Your Camera's NEF files for use in Photoshop ACR version.  You can open your NEF files in LR it seems so you could do all your raw conversion with Lightroom and save out Tiff files for processing in Photoshop.   I do use lightroom for I do not need its library.  Lightroom does not support layered files so lightroom is of no value to me.  ACR UI is all I need having a second interface to Adobe Raw Conversion Engine would more annoyance than value to me.

  • Airport utility doesn't support my airport express

    I just noticed my Airport Express isn't showing up in the Airport Utility, i mean, it shows up but there's no light on, not green or orange, just no light at all. When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station.  The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
    The Airport Express has always worked fine with my previous computer, MacBook, currently OS 10.6.8, and with my new computer MBP OS 10.8.5. I used it with AirTunes to play music through external speakers on the old computer.  With the new OS, it was using Air Play. The old Airport Express worked fine.  I got the new computer in November.  I was using a very old Airport Extreme as the router.  In late December, i got a new Time Capsule.  Software update was run and after the Time Capsule was installed, the Airport Express still played music. The green light lit up in Airport Utility.  I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
    I don't know why music is not playing through the external speakers now. The device shows up in Airport Utility but it appears dead and i get that message saying the the version of Airport Utility doesn't support the base station.  The green light is on, on the Airport Express. i have not updated the Airport Utility since late December when the Time Capsulre was installed. 
    The only thing that has happened recently, though i don't know why it would make any difference, is that a few days ago for the first time, i did a backup of my hard drive to the Time Capsule, using Time Machine. I had not done this before since i got the Time Capsule, it was the first time. Other than that, i haven't installed any new software and haven't done anything differently that i know of, although a few days ago, i clicked OK on a box in You Tube and my You Tube account now no longer has any of my favorites or playlists. It's the same account as far as i can tell, i didn't log out, it was still logged in when this happened. While that is a disaster, it doesn't seem related to my external speakers not playing all of a sudden.
    Is there anything i can try in order to fix this?  thanks

    The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
    This would be an 802.11g AirPort Express base station. There is only one generation of this version.
    When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station.
    I'm not aware that Apple produced a v3.6.1. Did you mean v5.6.1 instead? If so this version is meant to administer these older 802.11g AirPorts on Macs running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. More precisely for versions 10.5.7 thru 10.6.8 ... so your MacBook should be able to run this version of the AirPort Utility.
    I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
    If you are streaming from YouTube, then you must be using a third-party solution like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. Is this correct?
    The only thing that has happened recently, though i don't know why it would make any difference, is that a few days ago for the first time, i did a backup of my hard drive to the Time Capsule, using Time Machine.
    You're right. That should have not made any difference as far as streaming goes.

  • New iPad doesn't support leica x2 dng or jpeg

    Anybody else experiencing issues importing X2 files with camera kit? No problems reading the media with usb to lightroom or PS5.5

    What does 'doesn't support ...' actually mean in this case? Ther's no info in your post as to what you are trying to do, or what the results of that are; all we get is your conclusion that your files are not 'supported', which is usually not the case at all.
    Look into your camera's menu and see what options you have for naming your photos, what formats are used, etc., etc. iOS is fairly restrictive about what it will see and identify as image files coming into it
    Try changing modes (PTP, whatever) in your camera if you are connecting it
    If you're using an SDXC card, that's not suported by the CCK (as Apple points out in their documentation).
    If your filenames are coming out as something other than the more or less standard "8 characters dot something", then iOS wont' see them as images.'
    There are probably a few other little foibles that I'm forgetting about at the moment, but I think those three will solve things in most case, at least in those cases than can be solved. Good luck.

  • Why MBA (Mid - 2013) doesn't support with Bose Headphones for Audio Input

    I just bought two MBA 11(mid - 2013)  and MBA 13 (mid - 2013) two week ago and I found out that it doesn't support bose audio headphone (MIE2i mobile headphone) for audio input. So I am having experience for audio input with it. When I am having skype or recording, the voice go slient if i use that headphone as external microphone. All of my friends who are skyping with me can't heard my voice if i am doing skype with my MBA.  Audio output is fine though, you can hear as usual in headphones. Internal microphone works though,  but it is not good for privacy though.
    Thus, I went to apple store (Five ave) to trouble shoot about it, they said that is because Bose has noise cancelling, (BUT Bose MIE2i doesn't have noise cancelling though). They gave me two ear buds of apple ipod (one is outdate version & another one is latest version - that representative sucked, because she doesn't value the customer, she gave me outdate ear-buds, but i didn't urge with 3 dollars ear-buds), apple ear-bud works for audio input and output, however apple ipod ear buds are suck, it hurts the ears all time if you wear for 1 hrs. that's why I use quality headphone such as Bose headphones. Unfortunately, my bose headphone is not compatible at all.
    Is there any one having experiences with audio input with your headphones when you are using skype or audio recording. Which headphone is compatible with your MBA for input/output?

    The MacBook Air has a single headphone port. The microphone or headset in question must be of the three-ring variety, just like Apple’s headsets ......, the Macbook Air has the “headset” port,  not a conventional 2-ring mic and speaker port.
    Many are using this,

    Youre likely going to need to get a USB headset to use with your Air.   OR, standard headphones plus a USB Mic.
