I want my photo files back on my hard drive, not on Revel

I uploaded about 5,000 photos to Revel but neglected to keep the originals on my hard drive. I want my photos back on my hard drive. How do I download the photos back into Adobe PSE 13 Organizer in the same date folders they were in before they all got transferred to Revel? Once I have my photos back, I want to delete the photos on Revel and then I'll selectively upload Mobil Albums from the Organizer. How do I keep Revel from wanting to upload photos? I am signed out, but everytime I sign in through PSE 13, Revel starts to upload photos and I want that stopped too. Clearly I have some settings which are causing this. Help and understanding would be very much appreciated.

Hi seashel, 
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like the iTunes icon may have been removed from your dock on your computer. You can find your applications and move them to the dock from the Launchpad. Please use the attached article for more information. 
Mac Basics: The Dock holds your favorite apps, documents, and more
Adding and removing Dock items
If you want to add an application to the Dock, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock. Then, drag an app icon from the Launchpad to the Dock. The icons in the Dock move aside to make room for the new item. If you want to add a file or folder to the Dock, just drag its icon from any Finder window (or the desktop) and drop it on the Dock.
Cheers,
Joe

  • I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    Short answer: You do NOT have to reinstall all your apps and copy your files back.
    Longer answer: Upgrading the OS does not touch any user files. Upgrading the OS should not interfere with any applications which are compatible with Mavericks.  In my experience non-Apple apps are generally left unchanged by the upgrade.  It is possible that some apps may need to be upgraded. One good resource for checking application compatibility is RoaringApps.
    Finally, it is always wise to backup everything, just in case.

    Good luck and you are welcome.
    Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

  • How can I move one years worth of Raw photo files to a different hard drive and perserve the edits

    How can I move one years worth of raw photo files to a different hard drive (to manage space) and preserve the develope module edits and still see them in  the Library module?

    The easiest situation, is where this year's worth of images is grouped physically inside one parent folder (something many people build in from the start, in any case).
    If there is a parent folder on disk, but you are not currently seeing that inside LR's Folders panel, you can make this visible to LR by right-clicking on one of the folders which live immediately inside that, and selecting "show parent folder". This gives you a single "handle" by which to manipulate the whole grouping.
    Then it is just a matter of moving this parent folder. It's usually as simple as dragging it from one place to another inside LR's Folders panel, however this is a little more difficult when it's a question of another drive which does not yet appear there.
    So an alternative method will likely prove more straightforward: physically move the whole year folder into the other drive using your operating system's Explorer/Finder. The folder (and subfolders, and all the contained images) will change with ? icons inside LR, and it all goes "offline". This is because LR's records of where everything is, are known not to currently work (the former location is now not available). But all the edits, thumbnails, keywords, collections etc are still in place because these things are still remembered in the Catalog - and the fullsize previews are still cached also.
    Then right-click on the parent folder in LR's Folders (the top folder which shows a "?") and select Update Folder Location. Then browse to the other disk and identify where this folder is now to be found. LR updates all its records and the whole grouping carries on just as before, only using a new  storage location for each image concerned.

  • When using a Seagate 1T external hard drive and Time Machine to back up hourly, if I delete photo files from the Mac hard drive before the next back up, are these retained on the Seagate drive or will they be lost (overwritten) in the next backu in the ne

    Does Time Machine erase previously saved files if, say, photos are deleted from the Macbook upon the next update, or will they be stored indefinately despite the current status of the files stored on the computer? Eg. can I bckup photo files to a Seagate 1T disc and then delete them to make more room on the computer in the knowlwdge that they are always going to be on the Seagate disc? Sorry if this is very elementary but I have not used a back up before like this, and am not sure how successive backups are overlaid or retained. Thanks!!

    TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
    If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
    How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
    Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

  • Transferring photo files off of external hard drive to new iPhoto Library

    Forgive me if this line of questioning is pretty elementary, but when it comes to advanced computing, I'm in the Stone Ages. I really have no clue how to remedy the following problems I've been running into and I'm hoping for some sort of help/detailed explanation.
    I purchased a MacBook Pro back in 2009 and was using a G Drive Mini 500 GB to perform backups via Time Machine. I was under the impression that this was automatically transferring all of my files when I would plug it in, including my entire iPhoto library. 
    2 years ago I decided to sell my MacBook Pro to Best Buy in exchange for store credit, as I was getting by with my basic computing needs via my iPad. I figured I was in good hands security wise assuming Best Buy would wipe out all my personal data safely and responsibly and that all of my files were already backed up anyway via my G Drive Mini. I know this was a large assumption on my part now.
    Truthfully, the only files I want off the G Drive are my old photos so I can put them on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and then transfer those photos to my cloud based storage. So with that being said I attempted the following...
    I plugged in the G Drive into my girlfriend's MacBook Pro thinking I could simply open up the G Drive, find the old photo files and drag and transfer all my old photos into her iPhoto for storage. I realize now it is not that simple.
    I then attempted to access the photos by opening the iPhoto application I found under the Applications folder in the G Drive, but continuously received the following message, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it is in a Time Machine backup.". The advanced computer experts probably already knew that was coming. Is there any way around this? Does anyone have any ideas how to transfer these photos?
    I would really appreciate any help, but if someone had a direct solution that they wouldn't mind explaining to me, it would be greatly appreciated. I did some research on my own and it appears that I might need the original MacBook Pro that I owned even to access the photos, since the G Mini and Time Machine were really just archiving the files, rather than backing them up.
    Thank you for any and all help.

    So you're running Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, right?  In that case do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • I want to unhide files on my external hard drive that used to be used for windows

    I have a Western Digital external hard drive. I was using it with a windows 7 computer and had certain folders (and their contents) marked as hidden. I have now upgraded to a iMac desktop. I am using Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4. I used online instructions to use "terminal" to show all the hidden files. However, I want to change these files back from being hidden but I can't find how to.

  • Photo files moved to new hard drive, need to re-connect photo tagging

    Moved back catalog of photos from an almost full internal hard drive to a new larger external hard drive.
    Elements Organizer is now unable to locate tagged photos on the new hard drive
    Is it possible to re-connect the photo tagging ?

    If you can go back and do a PSE backup/restore that would be your best and easiest approach.

  • IPhoto back up to hard drive - not using Time Machine

    Hi everyone,
    I've gone through the support pages etc but can't seem to find a simple, easy to read and understand way of transferring my photos onto an external hard drive.
    What I want to do is get all my iPhoto photos, onto an external harddrive, preferably keeping the folders that are set-up within iPhoto. Is there an easy way to do this? I know I can drop and drag each individual 'event' however it won't seem to move the folder with it - therefore I have to do each 'Event' individually, which will take hours.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external hard drive
    Or use a clone program like Carbon Coly Cloner or SuperDuper to do it and  update it

  • Want to upload files from an external hard drive.  How does this work?

    I am new to the Mac world and have old files from my PC that I want to transfer on to my Time Capsule.

    Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
    Click Go > Network
    Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
    You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
    235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer.  All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

  • Lost files on Crossfire external hard drive

    I recently purchased the 160gb cross fire external hard drive as I have used all the space on my computer with music and pictures. I moved files my Music and Photo files from my mac hard drive to the external hard drive, but they did not show up on the external hard drive. However, they are no longer showing up on my mac hard drive either. The space on the Mac hard drive has stayed the same, so I believe the music and photo files are still on the computer, but I can't find them, even when I do a search. How can I locate these files? And how can I move them to the external hard drive?
    Also, I would like to move all of my iphoto pics to the external hard drive, but they won't show up when I pull them from iphoto to the external hard drive. I have been able to move my itunes as well as some individual documents, but it did not decrease the GB on my mac hard drive. How do I move items from the mac hard drive to the external hard drive and remove it from the mac hard drive?
    Lastly, does anyone know the web site for the crossfire external hard drive, so I can trouble shoot on my own?
    Thanks,
    Jessica

    Even if you move all your files to an external hard drive, it is strongly recommended you still keep at least two copies of your data at all times. If that means getting a second external hard drive, so be it! If that means burning to DVD or CD that which you can't afford to keep on your internal hard drive but want on your external only, that's better than relying on any one point source to be the copy of your data.
    External hard drives may fail for a variety of reasons, many of whom are covered in my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/firewirebug2.html
    In addition, USB hard drives may fail to mount after Energy Saver has gone off until the next system restart.
    It would appear that Crossfire is a brand of SmartDisk hard drive:

    Seeing as they already have some Mac OS X support, I suggest taking up the matter with them as well.

    I have an iMac 2013 running OSX 10.9.4. I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup user files to an external hard drive to free up space on my iMack Hard drive.
    So, say I make the backup today, delete iphoto libraries from my iMac, and then backup my iMac in a week. What happens to the iphoto libraries that are on the external backup drive now that I am backing up the iMac where they no longer exist?
    I will have them backed up to a separate second external drive as well.
    I'm just very cautious about removing them from the hard drive.
    Thanks for helping and understanding my crazy caution!

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • How do I migrate files created in a Windows OS to a new external drive that is formatted as a MAC drive. I want to read and write these files back to the new drive.

    If all you're trying to do is move the files from the Windows external to the Mac external, you can simply connect them both to the Mac and drag the files from the Windows drive to the Mac drive. If you want to move the files back and forth between them, you'll need to establish the format of the Windows external. Macs can read and write to FAT32 and exFAT (which can handle files larger than 4GB) formatted drives but can only read NTFS formatted drives without additional software. With the Windows drive connected, you can check its format with Disk Utility.
