I am changeing extern. drives. how do i change the drive I.D. from G to F on the collection?

I busted my external hard drive that had 20,000 pictures on it. I got a new one that I have fastened to the wall. How do I change the collection drive I.D. from (G:) to (F:)??? I am sorry i did not mark this as a question....

Why not just change the drive ID in the OS? Then you won't have to

  • Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation it gives me an input/output error and stops. Any tips?

    Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation and after having selected both my destination and source drives, the operation begins but soon fails due to input/output error. If I try to create an image of the drive it gives me the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Disk Utility only creates a image of the drive, so it's no help getting exactly what you want, which is your files. If the file structure is messed up or the drive is failing then it's no help.
    If you have a external boot drive and you can't access the internal non-booting drive though the typical Finder and windows to transfer your files via drag and drop methods, then you need to install Data Rescue on the external boot drive and it will do as best as it can to recover your files. (works on non-encrypted/non-Filevaulted drives only)

  • How changes the collection of a saved book in Lightroom?

    I started to created a book in lighroom and did not use a collection. When I saved* the book Lighroom put the used photo in the book in a collection. But I want to see
    all the photos and not just the used photos. But i can not change the collection! (when i changed the collection a new book is visible and my saved book will disappear )..
    How can i set the option that not only the used photos are visible in the collection?
    *(Lighroom ask me when i saved the book to only show the used photo, and i said yes, but now i want to changes that, so i can see all my photos to add more new photos)
    I like to hear from you..
    Thanks

    I want to use an existing smart collection for creating my book. This is a book that I'm editing and making new additions. The smart collection continues to grow as I set keywords on pictures. Unfortunately, since I saved the book now there is no way to use my smart collection. I had to manually add files to it.
    Arrrrg, I want my book to use the existing smart collection. Only when I publish should it limit it to a photoset.

    WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
    The drive is approximately 4 years old.  When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data.  It appears to be working properly.  The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it.   Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems.   I have tried two separate USB cords.  I have updated the firmware.  I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.  
    All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
    Disk Not Ejected Properly
    Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
    Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem.   Does anyone know the solution?
    Thanks,

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Steps to put itunes (50 gb) on external drive and delete from imac.  How would I update my ipods and ipad from the external drive if I do this

    I am planning to put itunes library on external hard drive. My Imac is running out of room and itunes is 50+ gb of music.
    What steps do I take to do this.  Also, if I do so, how do I update my ipods and my ipad 2.  I do back up my files with time machine.  This would be a completely separate new external hard drive.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Two ways:
    1. After transferring to the external drive create an alias to the iTunes Music folder on the external drive.  Copy the alias into your Home folder.  Rename the alias to "iTunes Music."  Delete the alias from the external drive.
    2. In the iTunes preferences click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar.  You should see a field labeled, "iTunes Media Folder Location."  Click on the Change button and select the /iTunes Music/ folder on the external drive.

  • How do I move itunes to an external drive and use from there

    Mid July 2010 Mini running 10.9.4, 320 gig HD, about 95 gigs left on drive and I need to add bootcamp/windows7 which will need about 90 gigs, maybe a little less for what I need to do with win7. Next problem will be figuring out how to make bootcamp work. Like how do I make a ISO out of a dmg? That's for another post. Excuse me.
    What do I move to an external drive? The media folder? Do I move iTunes? Seems to me iTunes needs to be on the MacHD and it pulls media from the drive to be rendered or played. Do I drag and drop? From where? Why doesn't Apple have simple easy to understand certified answers to issues ordinary people have? Something about once "it" is moved, do you restart and then I think hold control down while starting iTunes? What about iTunes Match? Should that be off? If it is off during the change over and then after restating Match will it matter that now the media is all in a different location? Absolutely at a loss.
    Can someone please shed light on this?
    thanks,
    tom

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How to copy a networked TimeMachine backup to an external drive and restore from it?

    Hi,
    I backup my MacBook Air with TimeMachine to my QNAP NAS which offers a TimeMachine backup service and I can restore data from it OK.
    Working in IT, and being a bit paranoid about important data loss, I am concerned that if I was robbed or my house burnt down I would most likely lose both the MacBook and the TimeMachine Backup on my NAS :-(
    To protect against this I have backup my (linux based) NAS to an external drive that I keep offsite. This drive is encrypted to keep my data secure with a Linux form of encryption (cryptsetup) and hence can't be plugged into a MacBook to try and restore from it - I doubt this would work either as the TimeMachine data is not located in the root of the drive.
    So what I have done to test my restore process is to mount the encrypted NAS backup that include the TimeMachine backup folders on a Linux machine and then copy the TimeMachine data to the root of an HFS+ formatted external USB drive.
    But, now I am stuck as how to try and restore something from this to my MacBook to see if the copy of the TimeMachine backup is good. If I press the Alt key on the TimeMachine icon, I can select an alternate backup device and when I enter TimeMachine to browse the data, I can browse the structure but there is no option to go back in time !! It seems like it is not possible to restore from this copy of the TimeMachine backup.
    Does anyone know if this should be possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong here?
    Rgds
    Gary

    Try un-mounting the drive from the Linux computer and see if you can access it as NAS.

  • If Adobe has disabled the ability to use Lightroom 5.7 to view the images in the external harddrive, how does one view the images in the file on the external drive without bringing them back to the Lightroom Library?

    Jpeg images dragged over from Photoshop are veiwable as thumbnails on the external harddrive.  However images brought over as RAW of DNG are not viewable.  Is there anyway to view these type images on the external harddrive?  It would be nice to have a glimpse of what you are bringing into Lightroom by just looking on the external harddrive as you can with the jpegs.

    From the Library simply click the import button and navigate to your folder on the ehd. Choose the folder and click Add at the top of the dialog. You should see thumbnail previews in the import dialog where you can select what to import.

  • Run Aperture and iPhoto on an external drive and edit from laptop?

    Can I run iphoto and Aperture on an external hard drive, like a file server?  Can I store pics on the external hard drive and edit using iphoto or aperture on the external hard drive from a laptop ?  How do I make this work?
    HELP!  I'm maxed out!

    Hello Laura,
    what is it, that you want to achieve?
    Move the Aperture Library to an external drive to free space on your laptop?
    or do you want to share your Aperture Libray between your machines and access it in parallel on a network volume?
    The option "1" is easy to achieve, the option "2" is not supported by Aperture; Aperture (and iPhoto) are single User programs, see this:
         Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3252
    To move your library (or parts of your library) to an external drive you have two options:
    move the complete libary using the finder to a local, external, MacOSX formatted drive,
    or turn your library into a "referenced" library: relocate the master image files to the external drive, but keep  the Library itself (much smaller now) on your laptop. This way you can browse your images and rate them, use them as screensaver, even if the external drive is not connected.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. the same (*** grano salis) holds for iPhoto; you can move the library, or your libraries, to an external drive using the Finder; you can make the iPhoto Library referenced, but referenced libraries are much better supported in Aperture, for Aperture has been designed in espacially to support huge, distributed libraries - in iPhoto I found it it safer to have several smaller libraries than to have one huge, referenced library - that was one of  the reasons I moved from iPhoto to Aperture.

  • Cannot access shared external drive on iMac from Windows 7

    Used to be able to access this drive with no problem from any of my PC's. Sent iMac in for repair and system drive was wiped so I'm starting from clean install of Leopard. Did all the updates first including 10.6.4 which wasn't on before the system drive died.
    Firewall is off
    SMB is on
    Everyone as well as main user has read write access to external drive
    iMac is in the same workgroup as machine, although it wasn't before and it worked fine.
    PC can ping the IP of the iMac and get a response, can see the iMac in list of networked computers
    but cannot access anything on it.
    Windows 7 network diagnostics says "file and print sharing resource (JMGIMAC) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts" "The remote computer isn't responding to connections on port 445
    I've tried everything, any ideas
    Josh

    I am familiar with the instructions for sharing files and have followed them (several times I might add).
    My problem is that the information that I place in the WINS tab ( in the Network Preference Pane) disappears when the iMac is re-started. This information (especially the Workgroup name) must appear when the computer re-boots. It doesn't and I have to re-enter the information in the iMac before I can access its files from a Windows PC.
    I have searched the internet for days trying to find an answer to this question. Although the problem seems to be fairly common, no solutions have been found.

  • Would I benefit from unplugging my 3 Tb external drive (itunes library) from my pc and plugging it to my airport extreme?

    The real question I guess is: Would my apple TV be able to read music or movie files on its own on my external hard drive plugged into my Airport Extreme without iTunes running on my computer?
    And a second question: Can iTunes on my PC manage and read files on my external drive wich is plugged in that Airport Extreme trough wifi?
    Thanks for you help!

    The real question I guess is: Would my apple TV be able to read music or movie files on its own on my external hard drive plugged into my Airport Extreme without iTunes running on my computer?
    Sorry, but no.
    And a second question: Can iTunes on my PC manage and read files on my external drive wich is plugged in that Airport Extreme trough wifi?
    In theory, yes.  But, I would not recommend this since response times will be very slow, and the library will tend to get "lost" on a regular basis, requiring that you "point" iTunes at the library location on a fairly regular basis.

    Hi,
    we have installed the SAPHOSTAGENT package for 7.00 which includes also saposcol to start together with the saphostexec program. Now the collecting interval for saposcol is changed from 10s (default for saposcol) to now 60s.

  • Can not sleep machine, external drive carryover problem from 10.5

    just calling everyone's renewed attention to this silly problem with the OS.
    After installing 10.6 last night i set my machine to sleep after an hour. This morning, i find the machine frozen solid. Manually pulling the firewire plug from my media-dedicated Mybook drive springs the whole machine back to life. Finder, Itunes, and Quicksilver were frozen, suddenly working fine again.
    This was an issue with leopard from day one. It still exists on 10.6. Discussions on this issue focused on the failure of a drive to be woken-up after being put to sleep. I can't keep up with the kernal level discussions being had, but the conversation is well-documented in many threads under 10.5.
    Despite the under the hood improvements, this issue has yet to-and must be- resolved. The alternative for this media center is not never let the computer sleep. Shutting it down as an alternative to sleep is a de-evolution compared even to windows (under vista, awindows 7, and tiger i do not have this issue with my drives.) Please take another look at it. Thanks! otherwise enjoying 10.6's speed.

    William, you reminded me that it had been a while since i looked for drivers (well, i'm on a mac afterall). Western Digital offers "MacTurboDrivers" dec 2008. I'm going to give this a shot.
    "This installer - WDMacTurboDrivers.dmg, contained within the WDMacTurboDrivers.zip file installs custom Western Digital performance based Turbo drivers and drive icons for WD USB and FireWire enabled external hard drives under Macintosh computers."
    I popped in to report that, my situation has degraded somewhat since the Leopard issue.. i'm having the drive freeze the computer even while the machine and hard drives are not set to sleep! Heres hoping these drivers are more than candy..
    has anyone else with a Mybook solved this problem? I have three mybooks - a 750MB usb, a 2TB firewire (time machine) and a 1TB firewire for itunes. The itunes drive is the only drive which fails to wake up. Before i had the 2TB, the 750MB was my itunes drive, and the 1TB was TM, during that time it the 750MB failed to wake up from sleep. Is iTunes the culprit? If so it is still a media-center disadvantage.
