Just added an external drive to my MacBook Pro now I want to place all my photos there.

How do I get LR 5 to recognize where they are?

Move the photos using your operating system, then in Lightroom follow these instructions: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

I just changed the hard drive on my macbook pro 13" and it won't turn on. I need to put the latest operating system on it.

Copied files got corrupted in USB3 external drives connected to Macbook Pro, how to fix it?

I use USB3 connected external hard drives in my Macbook Pro (Yosemite 10.10.1) frequently. I had no problem until two months ago. This week I noticed a lot of corrupted files in one drive. Luckily I have a backup, and I copied the files. But the files copied recently were mostly corrupted even though source files are fine. I spent a whole day trying with different options, e.g. erasing the drive, using cp, rsync, ditto etc. I figured out that if I copy single file or folder using cp, the copied files are fine, but rsync, ditto or recursive cp or finder's drag and drop results into a lot of corrupted files. I thought this was the hardware related issue of the external drive. But, I was surprised to notice that all files copied without any problem when I used a old macbook (only has USB2 port, and still use Mavericks). Since I have almost 2TB data to write, USB2 is very slow. I am very disappointed to find out that USB3 in Yosemite has caused all these troubles. If anyone has a solution to this problem, Please suggest.

Disk is formatted to Paragon NTFS

It's good to hear the Macbook Pro & the disk is capable of working correctly. The next test would be to try a clean install of OS X & repeat the copy guess. Adding third party drivers for write support makes the picture a little cloudy IMO.
I'm not really sure what else to suggest other than doing some tests & then taking that data to an Apple store. If you are lucky the genius may follow up on it, or if you submit it as bug reports Apple may follow up on it.

External Drive crash on Macbook Pro

I don't know which category I should put this on. I wish somebody can help me.
My friend has an external hard drive - 500 GB, FAT 32. He actually uses a PC. He connected his hard drive to a Macbook Pro (Leopard). After get it back, he found nothing in his hard drive but .trash and .spotlight-V100 as hidden files. However, it still says that he has 450 GB on the hard drive.
What he is doing now is blaming all problem to be Mac's fault.
Do you guys have any idea what is the cause of the problem and hopefully how to bring those data back?
Thank you a lot!!!

I doubt that anything would have happened on the mac without his specific permission. Unless your friend opened up Disk Utility and altered a whole bunch of settings?
Try connecting the drive to the Mac and right click on the drive and "Get Info" and see how much free space there is. Then, connect it to your PC and check to see how much free space there is. That way, you'll know whether the data has been physically removed from the drive OR if it's just hidden for the time being (for whatever reason).
EDIT: Updated to reflect that I too have Leopard

Opied files got corrupted in USB3 external drives connected to Macbook Pro, how to fix it?

I use USB3 connected external hard drives in my Macbook Pro mid 2012 (Yosemite 10.10.1) frequently. I had no problem until two months ago. This week I noticed a lot of corrupted files in one ext drive connected to USB3 port. Luckily I have a backup, and I copied back the files. But the files copied recently were also corrupted even though source files are fine. I spent a whole day trying to fix it using different methods of copy and options, e.g. erasing the drive, using cp, rsync, ditto and a combination of their options. I figured out that if I use cp or cp - R for copying single file or folder, it works fine, but using of rsync, ditto or recursive cp or finder's drag and drop result into a lot of corrupted files in the target drive. This is not the problem of external drive. I was surprised to notice that all files are copied perfectly when I used a old macbook (2008 model, it only has USB2 port, and OSX Mavericks). Since I have almost 2TB data to write, USB2 is very slow. I want to use USB3 of Macbook Pro 2012, but I am very disappointed to find out that USB3 in Yosemite is causing the trouble, writing out corrupted files. If anyone has a solution to this problem, or a second thought, Please suggest.

Disk is formatted to Paragon NTFS

My guess here is there is some issue with the use of Paragon NTFS. Perhaps updating it or using another NTFS driver (like Tuxera, or its free alternative NTFS-3G) will work. All in all, using NTFS in write mode with these options will be using a non-supported approach for accessing your drive, which could lead to odd problems if Apple makes a change that interferes with the functions of these drivers. At other times, such drivers use inherently less stable approaches (such as the FUSE environment) that could lead to problems if not formatted correctly.
If your drive is working, and the formatting is checked out properly in Windows and other systems, then I'd suggest you check on your NTFS driver and update or replace it. Alternatively, if you only use the drive with your Mac, then consider formatting it to Apple's native Mac OS Extended. Lastly, if you use the drive with multiple operating systems, then consider using FAT32 or ExFAT as the format, as these are fully supported in OS X (unlike NTFS, which is only supported for reading).

Replaced Hard Drive in MacBook Pro - now TC wants to back up whole drive

I replaced the 120 Gig hard drive in my MacBook Pro with a 320 Gig drive and cloned the old drive back to the new one. Time Machine now wants to treat this as a different drive from the one I have backed up on my Time Capsule. How do I convince TM to backup the new drive incrementally to the old image on the TC rather than creating a whole new back up?

The cloning software you used probably does not copy the journaling entries. Since TM relies on the event-driven journaling entries, it has no choice but to start a new full backup all over again.

How do I install base system on external drive to boot MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.2 core 2 duo. I use an external HD for storage. Want to make external drive bootable (i.e. to run apps like DiskWarrior on MacBookPro).
How do I install the base system?
Thank you.

First, be sure the external drive is partitioned using the GUID partition scheme. If it isn't then you will have to re-partition the drive which will erase anything you have on the drive.
Second, the external drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
Last, boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer and install OS X onto the external drive. Do not do an Erase and Install if you don't want to erase the external drive. You can customize the installation to omit any additional components you don't need such as language localizations, Asian Fonts, unneeded printer drivers, etc.

External Drive installed IN MacBook pro?

There are some great prices on Seagate 2TB 3.5" Expansion External Drives. Can anyone tell me if you could pull the drive out and install INSIDE a MacBook Pro? (Is it a 2.5" SATA drive?) I'm out of space and can't update any more!!
I have swapped internal drive into external cases, but don't want to pull an external apart if I won't be able to install internally.
Thanks!
Tom

Yes, it's correct that all MBPs use 2.5" SATA hard drives. All unibody MBPs can use drives up to 12.5mm high, even though Apple specifies 9.5mm drives.
The bare drive units inside some factory-assembled external drives are 15mm high and won't fit inside a MBP, but you generally can't find out what drive unit is inside such a product, or anything about its height, without taking it apart and voiding its manufacturer's warranty. And external drives cost more than bare drives.

Which files do I transfer from external drive to new MacBook Pro?

Hi there,
My hard drive went bad on my MacBook Pro, but fortunately I did a weekly backup.
Unfortunately, it was not a Cloned back up or a Time Machine backup, so I can't seem to be able to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my files to my new MacBook Pro.
Is there a list of files that I should make sure to copy over?
I know that I need to copy my apps that aren't already native to Mavericks. Also, most of the files in my User Folder. Is it wise to copy the entire library in the User Folder, or should I select individual files and folders? Is there anything else I should look for?
If there is a step by step tutorial on this, and I have somehow missed it, please point me on my way.
Thanks for any help.

Is it a bad idea to copy things to the library (the one that is located at macintosh hd/library)?
One thing is for sure...I'll be switching to Time Machine or CCC...this is taking a looooong time.
So, any ideas out there?
It is too late, but either a bootable clone (I use SuperDuper!) or a Time Machine backup would have made the transition smooth.
I do not know of any "cookbook" approach to help you.
I think I would have reinstalled OS X 10.9.4 and then moved all my data files. I do not know what settings, files, etc. would need to be moved.

USB not powering external drive on new macbook pro

My new macbook pro retina display is not powering an external 750GB GDrive moblie. Is anyone having this problem?

It seems as if a number of people are having problems with the USB 3.0 ports on the 2012 MBP's - particularly when it comes to external storage devices.
As you don't have a FW800 port (or, yet, an adapter) the best thing you can do is either return it to your local Apple Store and see if they know of a 'fix' (which I doubt - someone would have posted that by now), whether it's only occurring with some MBP models, and you can always file a bug report with Apple: https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn - you must sign in with your Apple ID.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there have been quite a few people posting here with the same problem.
Good luck,

USB External Drive, Itunes, and MacBook Pro

So I'm buying a external USB drive so I can copy all my media to one source (External Drive). Once I have done so I'm guessing I need to leave the laptop and external drive on, for any sync. As I normally download podcasts via the laptop on a daily basis. Thus I can only power off the MAC and external drive only after all content has been sync'd to the Apple TV. Yes?

Correct.

External Drive Drove my Macbook Pro(Late 2011) Mad!?

when i remove my external disk, the system just stuck there. I checked the system, and it was the finder who was not responding. Then i tried to shut it down, but only forcing MBP off.
What's the matter with my MBP? My external disk is NTFS format.
I put that external disk on another MBP to check the potential crackdown, only to find nothing wrong.
I need your help.
Thanks

I know it is not a optimal choice for Mac using NTFS, but i have to copy large files back and forth between PC and Mac.
Actually, i ejected the disk, it was the procedure of ejection that cracked. when dragging the icon of external disk to recycle, the system stuck there.

Just added an external drive to my MacBook Pro now I want to place all my photos there.
