I want to remove volumes from 'Import' - 'Select a source' list

Hi all,
First, I'm using the new Lightroom v4.1 on a Windows 7 x64 system.
As the title to my question suggests, I'm trying (without success) to remove volumes from the list that's shown when a user clicks on the 'Import' button (lower left of screen) and 'Select a source' which, naturally, shows all the drives in my system.
There are five volumes; four internal and one external.
There are only two drives which contain photos that I'm interestered in importing/editing.
The other drives contain files that I have no interest in editing or organizing.
For example, several hundred (scanned and collected) very old family photos that I wish to keep pristine, with no editing of any kind. As for placing them in collections,  I already have them in dated, carefully named folders.
So, as this is a shared computer, I want to remove the volumes (drives) so that the aforementioned photos can't be inadvertantly imported.
Can someone please point me in the right direction how to do this?
Thank you.
Yours,
Hugh

There is nothing within Lightroom that will cause it to ignore a specific drive permanently. You'd have to go above Lightroom to the system level to prevent Lightroom from seeing the drive. Not sure how to do that, but it's probably possible.

    Hey ktillis88,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
    This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    Thanks,

    I think what this chap wants is to remove the DP version of Facebook Integration. I also have Facebook Integration installed (it's a DP4 version). I would also want to know how on earth do I remove it, because there's no uninstaller package for it.
    You'll likely need to read up on forums hosted by the developer which provided your preview copy of OSX.  There are very few here using DP versions of OSX.
    You may need to wait until FB integration is officially released.

    My daughter wants to remove herself from our plan and use a different cell provider. However, our contract is not yet up, what is the penalty for removing her early?

    For contacts started before November 14, 2014, the ETF is $350 minus $10 per month of the contract term completed for smartphones. For other ddv6,it is $175 minus $5 per month of the contract term completed. You will need to call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 or *611 to find out the ETF amount for contracts started on and after November 14, 2014.

  • Hot to remove 'Approver' from Role dropdown in Collaborator List?

    Hello Experts,
    How do you remove or add values to standard enumeration type fields?
    For eg., if I wanted to add a value to 'STATUS_INDICATOR' in Prpoject (could not find it in the standard value list types).
    Or if I want to remove 'Approver' from the Role dropdown of Collaborator list?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subhasini

    There's a Value list called Project Status you can edit to customize your list of project statuses.
    The Collaborator Role Definitions can be edited by going to SETUP>General> Collaborator Role Definitions
    however, i would not remove the Approver role as this would hinder system functionality surrounding approval workflows.

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • HT4993 I have 3 phones under the same apple ID. I  want to remove mine from the same one my kids use. How can I do this but keep their's on the current apple ID?

    I have 3 phones on one apple ID. I want to remove my phone which is the main phone on the acct to it's own apple ID. How can I do that but keep the other 2 on the current ID

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

    How can I remove clips from the event browser in iMovie 11 when I have finished using them - without deleting or rejecting them?

    I'm not clear why do you want to remove them if its not to save space by deleting them?

  • I want to remove songs from my iMac but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

    I need to clear space on my HD on my iMac. I have a lot of songs and videos downloaded to my iMac and I want to get them off but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

    iTunes Match! Activate it (it's about 20$ a year) and all your music will be moved to iCloud. It will be in your iTunes library and iPhone Music app, but it will actually physically be in iCloud. iTunes Match then removes it from your iPhone, saving lots of space, and you can (if you need) delete it manually from your Mac HD. But do keep a copy somewhere, on an external HD or something. Even if it's iCloud , you never know!

  • I-movie 9 removing sound from imported video

    I cannot using any instructions I can find remove sound from an imported video.
    It was very easy in i-movie HD, but in that I could not speed up the soundless video to match a voice-over added just as easily.
    Whatever I did, the Detach Audio remained grey and unusable.
    Can anyone tell me which is supposed to be better - i-movie 9 or i-movie HD?
    WHy do they have two systems running in parallel?
    All clues welcome

    Hi
    Which I could help. Can't.
    Can anyone tell me which is supposed to be better - i-movie 9 or i-movie HD?
    Yes. iMovie 1 to HD6 and iMovie'08 & 09 are two totally different products - not related
    in any close way at all.
    iMovie'08 & 09 are Wrongly named - so that they most often are misstaken to be related.
    Yes -
    • iMovie 1 to HD6 are supperior - IF YOU use miniDV (interlaced SD-video) and aim to make a DVD
    • iMovie'08 & 09 are for material from newer HD, hard disk, memory card and mini DVD Cameras
    and are aimed for quick editing and web publishing. (DVDs will not be as good as they can)
    Yours very understanding - and whiching that I was of more help - Bengt W
