How to limit the external drives that Bridge searches?

I'm experiencing the problem that I find myself working on the files chosen from Bridge that have been selected from my external drive.
This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the wrong files, etc.
I have looked all through the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anyplace to limit the searches to just the original main hard drive.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I look up from working on a photoshop file and realize I've been working on a file that originated from the external drive, and not the original HDD.
This is driving me nuts! 
So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Thanks!

So.... is there any way to limit the external drives that Bridge will search?
Yes, in the find menu (cmd+F or menu:Edit/Find) you have a window that let's you select the source where to look in, if you choose your hard drive as source to look in it will only find the files there.
The folder panel may also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never have need for the find option in Bridge it might be when having Bridge pointed to a certain disk or folder the quick find field top right in Bridge window might also do the trick for you.
Of course it's nice to have backup on the external drive, (which I have cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...
I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner for back up but a dedicated back up application like Synchronize Pro, Just copy the whole content you want to use for back up to an external HDD and customize Synchronize the way you like it (when to back up, archive the older files etc etc). There are also a lot of other (some free) back up utilities.

  • How can I use iTunes without connecting the external drive that has all my music on it?

    I have all my music on an external drive.  Sometimes I would like to access iTunes, for purchases and other, without having that drive plugged in.  I used to be able to do this, but something has changed and I can no longer figure out how.  There must be a way.
    Thanks

    Well, you can always ignore the fact it will automatically direct anything to a new blank library it will create on the internal drive.  Just let it do it (as long as you keep track of any purchases that download, or maybe you can turn off automatic downloading )  The next time you need to use it with the external drive hold down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and select the library file on the external drive.

  • I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

    I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
    thank you

    No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
    When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

  • How to use an external drive with 2 Macs?

    Using an external drive for LR 5.4 files and can download and view without any issues on my MacBook.  However, when the same drive is attached to my iMac I cannot download or view any files on the external drive that were added after March of this year.  Any ideas on how to go about resolving this issue?

    The following screenshot might be helpful. It shows where in Lr preferences you can configure which catalog Lr uses as the default. If you need to direct it to an external drive then use the 'Other' option to point to this drive then next time Lr launches set it back 'Load most recent catalog'

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • My late 2006 iMac stopped finding my back up drive.  I've tried rebooting but no good.  Tried unplugging the external drive and rebooting.  How do I tell my computer to find the external 500 GB dive that is plugged into it?

    I have a Western Digital 500 gig external hardrive that I have been using successfully with Time Machine to back up my files.  A few weeks ago I noticed that the external drive light was ON but not moving back and forth indicating that it was working.  The light was now simply ON but not moving.  So I checked and sure enough Time Machine didn''t "see" it anymore.  When I tried to fix it, the drive is no longer on the list.  Nothing is on the list.  The external drive is not showing anywhere, including the desktop.  And when I tried to switch Time Machine on the list is empty and it wants to "look" at airport for a wi-fi type peripheral.  Help!  How do I get the iMac to realize it has an external drive plugged into it?  I don't even know why it worked when I first got it or why it stopped working.  I only know that Time Machine doesn't have it listed.

    Open disk utility and check the external drive and repair it.  If that didn't fix the problem or if you are unable to see the drive in disk utility then the drive could be bad.

    Many thanks!

    Select a single song with a broken link, press CTRL+I to Get Info, cancel when asked to locate the track and take a look at the Summary tab. Post back where iTunes is looking for the file. It begins file://localhost
    Where is it really?
    Please post back both paths so that I can make suggestions. Full paths please, exact spellings, you can replace your user name with <User> if needed.

  • Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

    Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.

  • How do I import ( copy) iPhotos from External Drive that contains the iPhoto library photos.

    My old hard drive was failing and with the help of an Apple Consultant, I made a new library ( on external hard drive)  and copied all the photo files off the iMac's internal drive to the external drive. Then the iphoto library was deleted from the hard drive and the internal  hard drive was replaced.
    Photo Storage is the name of the external drive as it is designated for photos only. Lightroom recognises the drive but does not see any of the photos. It says no photos available? Is there something I am missing.

    Import is just a word for copying photos from the phone to a computer and not that different than what I do in Windows -- although I haven't compared the speed on a large number of photos. If you are importing and using iPhoto, you might try doing it with Image Capture which will allow you to copy them directly to an external drive. It may be faster than doing it to iPhoto but I haven't compared the speed. Instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 are shown below.
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.

  • How to upgrade a Library on an external drive created in a previous version of aperture so I can re-import it from the external drive into Aperture 3.5.1 on my MBP ?

    I have exported earlier Projects [which were created in Aperture 3.4.5] to an external hard drive. Now I wish to reimport them into Aperture 3.5.1 - which I use after having upgraded to Mavericks - but am given an error message saying I can’t reimport because the external drive is storing a Library created by an earlier version of Aperture than I’m using now. It tells me to upgrade that externally stored Library.
    The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
    Thank  you
    Bob

    The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
    You can upgrade the library on the external drive. Connect your external drive to your computer.
    Then select the library with the exported projects on the external drive and double-click it to open it in Aperture. This will upgrade the library to Aperture 3.5.1.  Since upgrading can sometimes be problematic, I recommend to make a backup copy of the library before you try to upgrade the library.
    After that you should be able to merge the library into your main library using File > Import.

  • How to transfer iTunes Music stored in an External Drive that I use for my Windows PC and use it in iTunes on Mac?

    Hi just bought my first Mac (a 2013 13' MacBook Air). Before I owned this computer I used (and still use) a Windows Desktop. My Windows Desktop (which runs Windows 8.1) has a 1TB Hard Drive that was getting pretty full so I moved all of my iTunes Music, Movies, and TV Shows onto a 2TB external hard drive. This meant that iTunes would open/work even if the external hdd was not plugged in, but only when the external HDD is plugged in do I see all of my downloaded/ripped music/movies/tv shows. Now that I own a Mac I would like to do the same thing - have all of my media on an external drive that is plugged in via USB. So my question is (A) how do I make my itunes media stored on this external HDD accesible to the iTunes on my MacBook, (B) do I need to partition the external HDD to do this, and (C) because I fully intend to keep using the drive with my Windows PC (it stores a complete backup as well as a ton of Steam videogames), will I need to totally erase the drive in order to create such a partition?

    Before we can help you, you must tell us how you are backing up your data.

  • I hooked an external hard drive into the '09 macbook, but when it's in the usb, it has a pop up that says the disk cannot be read, then brings me to disk utility. I have no idea why it wont read the external drive, as it has worked properly before.

    I have an external drive with old music files (about 127GB worth) and I was hoping to put them onto my laptop. I hook it into the USB port, and it pops up an error message saying the Disk cannot be read. This is strange, because the drive was hooked up before and worked perfectly fine. It sends me to Disk Utility and says that It must be repaired, but when I click repair, it wants me to back up anything I can (which I cannot at all, none of the files are on right now) and erase it and repair. I have no idead why it's doing this, any help?

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • HT201250 how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.

    how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
    I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup"  It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
    I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

    Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
    The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
    Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    Boot from the external hard drive.
    Erase the internal hard drive.
    Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
