Folders not available on removeable media when assigned a different drive letter

I have LR 5.2 and I move files off onto a removable drive as a back-up and it allows me to share the pictures with them when they sometimes lose them.  Windows 7 routinely assigns the drive to the letter M:, N:, and sometime P: and apparently I cannot see the folders unless the drive is assigned the same letter as it was when I imported the pictures into the catalog.  The folders don’t even show up in the library, but if I do an import all of the folders appear as valid destinations within LR. How can I fix this?  The first picture is a screen shot of the library; notice that the year 2013 is missing.  The second screen shot is what appears when I go to import; note that 2013 appears.  The folders simply do not appear in LR except when I attempt import.
When I look at N: in my “working catalog” it shows it as having catalog “AUMC” but the folders in it belong to the part of my working catalog that I have moved to a different external drive since they’re old picture I don’t use much.  They all have question marks, but they are resolved with I attach the external drive with those folders on it.

I do not have access to Windows 7 right now, just windows 8.  I am certain that Windows 7 has the same functionality, but my directions to get there may be off a bit as it may have changed.
1) Connect your external drive to your computer, and check what letter Windows gave it.
2) Go To Start->Run and enter 'diskmgmt.msc' (without the quotes)
3) A new window will come up.  Maximise it, so you can see it all.
4) Torwards the bottom, you will a white box with the drive letter of your external disk in it.
5) Right click on this white box and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' (This may be slightly different in Windows 7).
6) If the 'Change' option is available then click on that, otherwise select 'add'
7) I suggest here you select a letter near the end of the alphabet to minimise the chances of another drive using it.
8) Windows should now try to use this letter each time it mounts the drive.
If windows continues to change the drive letter, then make sure that you 'eject' the drive properly each time because if you do not, windows may think that the drive letter is still in use.
Alternatively, in step 6 above, select 'add' and in there, you can give windows a path on your C drive to mount the disk to (make sure that the directory you select is totally empty).  Then the whenever you connect your external hard disk to your computer, the contents will be available there.  If you go this route though, make sure that you only wite to this directory when your external hard disk is connected.

  • HT1567 Itunes 10.6.1.7 is not recognising an Audio CD when inserted in the drive. This means I connot import any CD's. What could be wrong?

    iTunes 10.6.1.7 is not recognising an audio CD when inserted in the drive. This means that I cannot import CD's. It used to work but since installing other software iTunes does not see the audio CD and will not open the drive when "eject disc" is selected from the controls menu.

    Check the drive letter of your CD drive.  iTunes doesn't seem to work properly with CD drives if they are mapped to the letters A or B.  Use Disk Management tool in windows to change to a different letter and this will fix it (if this is the cause!).

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.

  • Tree tab folders not available in WCS tool

    The user was using the folders in My Content tab in contributor Interface (screenshot is attached) . Now the folders are not available in that tab. We have to create\ recover the folders which are deleted. As per the screenshot the 'Correct TAB' image was the one when the folders were available and 'Wrong TAB' is the one now when the folders are not available. We need to create \ recover the folders which are available in correct tab. Please suggest.

    Hi,
    First of all, can you check the Tree tabs list in Staging environment and compare with QAT environment?
    AdminUI -> Admin -> Tree (double-click). Check the list of Tree tabs present in both environment and compare. Is the tree tab which was configured to show in Content Tree are present or not. This is should be same for QAT and Staging environment. If any missing, then you can probably just create same tree tabs which are present in QAT environment or publish them from Development environment.
    Second, if tree tab is present in the list, then check if that tree tab is enabled for the Site (if you are using multiple sites, then you have to select all the sites where you want to show Tree Tabs).
    Third, check if the user has correct Roles to see the Tree tabs or not. Check the "Required Roles" column for the tree tab and the users Roles.
    If all of the above are okay, then you might try to turn on debugging and see while tree tab loads up and check if any errors in java console. Also check few details here - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29542_01/doc.1111/e29634/custom_ui.htm#WBCSD2256 which may be helpful.

    Please try to assign the certificate with Lync Server Management Shell.
    Run the following command:
    Set-CSCertificate -Identity Global -Type OAuthTokenIssuer –Thumbprint <string>.
    Check if you can assign default certificate to Lync Front End Server.
    Check the Root Certificate Authority certificate is not expired.

  • Delete button not available for goods receipt when PO has GR-Based IV set

    Hi ll,
    the delete button for confirmations is greyed out when the PO has the GR-Based IV set, the return delivery button however is available.
    There are several goods receipt on the PO some of which have linked invoices but the goods receipt I want to cancel is not linked to an invoice.
    I've checked the backend config and it's the same for movement types 102 and 122. Also I can manually post a 102 in the backend.
    For PO's without GR-Based IV both the delete and return delivery buttons are available.
    Does anyone have any ideas? We are on SRM 4.0.
    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi,
    thanks for the response but I don't think this situation is related to backend settings as I can perform a 102 and a 122 against the same PO l;ine directly in R/3.
    This appears to be an SRM "feature".
    To claifry the situation
    PO flagged as GR-Based IV
    Purchase Order line has several goods receipts and several invoice receipts matched.
    Tryning to cancel a confirmation in SRM for a goods receipt without a matched invoice receipt.
    "Delete" button is not available but "Return Delivery" button is available.
    In R/3 backend I can post a 102 (delete) or a 122 (return) without any issues.
    Config settings are the same for 102 and 122 in the R/3 backend.
    Any one any ideas?
    Cheers

  • Best way to re-link media when transferring to another drive

    quick background, very large project (4 TB drive) with FCP projects/sequences and lots of media. it's a project we are sending around the world to be translated to various languages. I am building a "master" drive that's organized, slimmed down, and set up so 3rd party folks can find their way through the project easy/quickly. the idea is to build a "master drive" like this, and simply copy it to clone drives that can be sent around.
    whats the best way on the copied drives to keep all the media links connected, without having to back on every clone drive to manually reconnect the media (since the path changes with a different drive/drive name)?

    Just give your drive the exact name and filepaths...
    No worries at all.
    You're sending the disks away, so the chance of hooking two 'same' drives at the same time is nihil I think...

  • Assigning two different drives to iTunes...

    hi everyone
    so i have space for all of it , i got 2 X W.Digital My Book 1TB each : one for music another for video, why such big drives ? i keep my music in high quality,lossless formats. the one with music is assigned in iTunes preferences as it's iTunes music folder location & it works fine . now ...how do i assign the 2nd drive ( the one w/ video ..) so iTunes gets the videos from there ? no matter what i tried, it seems iTunes doesn't provide for this 2nd drive to be ''iTunes Video folder location'' !?
    should i/is it possible to download a second iTunes so i can assign the 2nd drive as iTunes video folder location ? or should i just download a video specific ''librarian'' ( if this is the correct word..). by the way can someone tell me what video formats can iTunes ''handle'' ?
    any help will be very appreciated, thank you so much
    Nuno Baptista

    hi Neil
    it sounds SO simple i feel like slapping myself !...LOL...now just to make sure : when i import more music into iTunes i have to check back the ''copy files to iTunes Music Folder'' box so the music department of it keeps working as it has until now, right ?
    this was aggravating me so much because i really have grown accustomed to ''iTunes's ways'', feel comfortable with it & quite like it's deceptively simple interface. besides i tried a few dedicated video iTunes equivalents ( what's the right word ? a manager software, librarian ?..) & most where clunky at best
    I'm going to try it immediately.
    thanks so much, cheers

  • Locate my media and library on a different drive letter

    I am using the latest iTunes for Windows.  I have my media in "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\" folder and sub directories, while iTunes library is in "Z:\Music\iTunes".
    I haven't consolidated the media inside iTunes because I prefer to create/edit my MP3's using other software.  All my media are from my collection of CD's.. nothing purchased.
    Anyhow,my music tracks inside iTunes library (in "Z:\Music\iTunes") have a path like "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\Blues\Elmore James\Let's Cut It\abc.mp3"
    I would like to move the Z:\Music\... to a new computer.  However, the drive letter on the new computer for media is Y.
    I copied the files over to Y:, installed iTunes on the new computer, opened the .itl file, now residing in "Y:\Music\iTunes\".  However, my media links in the iTunes library point to "Z:\Music\My Music CDs\", whereas, the actual files on the new pc are in "Y:\Music\My Music CDs\".  While the content shows up listed iTunes, every file is considered "missing" by iTunes, who asks me to locate the file.
    How do I copy my media and library, from "Z:\Music\.." to ""Y:\Music\.."?
    Thanks.
    Aloke

    The user tipMake a split library portable should how you can transform a working library into a portable shape, but still keep your own personal internal folder structure, however in this case it may be easier to simply reassign the drive letters.

  • BPEL processes not available on BPEL console when deployed from JDeveloper

    Installation: SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 (Upgraded through patch) (Standalone OC4J)
    When I deploy the BPEL processes through JDeveloper, they do not show up in the BPEL console. JDeveloper does not display any error message but in fact displays successful deploy. I am able to manually deploy processes from the BPEL console itself or by dropping in the BPEL suitcase in the deploy directory.
    I noticed this issue when I tried installing AIA foundation pack 2.4. The installation showed the message below -
    Failed to read wsdl at "http://AMVAIDYA-US:8888/orabpel/default/AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess/AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess?wsdl", because "Failed to read WSDL from http://AMVAIDYA-US:8888/orabpel/default/AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess/AIAErrorTaskAdministrationProcess?wsdl:WSDL not found".
    Make sure wsdl is valid. You may need to start the OraBPEL server, or make sure the related bpel process is deployed correctly.
    [Potential fix]: If your site has a proxy server, then you may need to configure your BPEL Server, designer and browser with your proxy server configuration settings (see tech note on http://otn.oracle.com/bpel for instructions).
    I noticed that issue is independent of AIA since I cannot deploy any BPEL process through JDeveloper (or even through using the ant deploy in JDev)
    Please help!
    Thanks
    Amol

    I did try the verbose=true option but there are no errors there. The ant deploy task shows up as successful just like it shows from the right click -> Deploy to domain on the BPEL project. I created a sample async BPEL for this - it has just one assign activity with some dummy values for output. It builds fine. If I deploy the jar file created from this manually in the console it works. But it doesnt work from JDev or Ant. Is there anything I missed during the upgrade patch from 10.1.3.1 to 10.1.3.4? I did execute all the post and pre install tasks (including the orabpel, oraesb schema updates etc)
    FYI, I can register an ESB from JDeveloper and it shows up in the ESB console.
