Lightroom Slideshow from Flash Drive

I am looking into purchasing a Lenovo Yoga, but need to do a few slide shows during the year.  Since there is limited hard drive space, I was curious if I can run a slideshow in Lightroom from a flashdrive.  Thanks for your help. 

Exporting a slide show produces an .mp4 file which can be run from where ever you store/save it.
If you want to run the show from within LR the original amount of HD space is still being used.
Make a new catalog for your slide show then Export as Catalog to your flash drive then delete the one on your HD.
Open LR then File / Open Catalog and navigate to the catalog on the flash drive
Since LR now handles video you could always run the .mp4 video in the Library Module.
Hide the panels, lights out [L] and you have a slide show.

  • Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

    I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder...  How can I fix this?
    Please help me!

    You don't need to recover the system.
    Launch the Terminal 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, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or 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 Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    dot_clean -m
    Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

    How do I restore iTunes library from flash drive backup?

    HI Brigdool,
    It depends how you made the backup.
    If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
    If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
    The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc.  The second method builds a new library with the same content.

  • Transferring music from flash drive

    My old laptop died but luckily my hard drive was intact so I was able to transfer my itunes to a flash drive. Now that I have a new computer, how do i transfer music from flash drive to itunes on my new computer (windows)?

    Drag and drop.
    When I moved music from my old to new computer I just dragged the files into the 'my music' folder on my computer. Then did have to import the folder into iTunes.
    If you have a lot of playlists etc, I believe there is another way that'll preserve more of that info. I'm not familiar with it since I don't use the playlist feature.

  • Problem importing photos to iPhoto Library from flash drive

    When I try to import photos from flash drive into iPhoto library, they seem to import just fine. BUT if I close iPhoto and then return later, the photos I supposedly imported from the flash drive are not in the Library, and a screen prompt tells me the "source is not available". Photos import into Library from digital camera just fine. Why are the photos from my flash drive not staying in the Library? Kinda defeats the purpose of a Library if images won't stay in it. Please help!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • How to remove document from Flash drive after printing from a PC

    Hi All,
    Here's my problem: Today I needed to print an MS Word file at a printshop, so I saved the document onto my Flash drive and took it to the shop. There, the staff printed the document from a PC and handed the drive back to me.
    Now, back at home, I want to delete this document from the Flash Drive. I plug in the drive, select the document and drag it to the trash. But then I get this message: " The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for document X".
    This is a document I created from scratch, so I should have read/write privileges, yet the document on the drive is Read Only.
    I went back to the shop, and they get the same message.
    If I try to use disk utility to erase the disk, it appears as an MS-DOS FIle System (FAT 16) disk, and the erase buttons are "greyed out".
    How can I erase this document? Or how I can I reformat the drive?
    Any help much appreciated!~

    I think I just solved my own problem. Just tried pressing the option and command keys at the same time while dragging the document into the trash and now it's gone. For good, I hope....Phew!

  • Music files from flash drive to new itunes

    ive been slowly transfering music from my old PC to a music library on my MBP.  the weird thing is that on a fair number of folders, when they transfer, some songs seem to get left behind and not copied.  i'll have an album with 11 tracks, and move it as usual to the flash drive, then when its gets loaded onto the mac three or four of them are gone.  i must be really behind the times, because i cant fathom the file allocations that itunes uses.  ill load the batman begins soundtrack folder into the music folder, and it will split it into to two separate files - one with the original folder title and another with the artist listed and consolidiating them manually doesnt work.  it just resplits the **** thing - am i still to PC-if-fied?

    my itunes library information has gone for good
    ... unless you have a backup copy of your *iTunes library file*. do you use time machine or any other means of backing up ?
    What is the easiest way to link the now newly installed itunes to these external files?
    if the answer to above question is no, you will have to start from scratch, i.e. no playcounts, ratings, playlists, etc. from your old library will be there.
    assuming you have *copy files to ... when adding to library* checked in preferences > advanced, option-drag the folder containing your media files into an open iTunes window. iTunes will index the path to the location of the original files, but won't copy them physically.
    btw, pointing *iTunes media folder location* to another spot will only tell iTunes where to put newly added content, not where the current content is.

  • Itunes Music Not Recovered From Flash Drive

    I backed up my itunes library on a flash drive.  My new computer will not play Apple purchases.  The error messages are "Computer not authorized", even though it has been, or "Original file could not be found" and the file will not come up when I hit the "locate" button.  The Apple store has no record of former ID's under my e-mail address, and only has one purchase on record. 
    I have not had any problems with Amazon purchases.

    Hello Limnos,
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Since my initial response I've looked in a little more depth at the track names.
    All my files are stored and played at CD quality from the original CD rather than MP3.
    It appears that track names are extracted from the Library and look a little different from those that appear in the iTunes playlist.
    I see now that the first element of the track name is the track number from the original CD. So if my playlist is made up of 3 CDs then all the track 01s get stored first and played first, followed by track 02s etc.
    I do not think it will take a great deal of effort to renumber the tracks from 01 to xty in what ever order I want them played since I usually play complete albums all the way through.
    Thanks again,  Steve. 
    BTW. Based on this I went out today and bought an 8Gb flash drive that I shall use to take our music with us on holiday.  Saves a great weight in CDs! (and lets us get under new airline weight restrictions)

  • Transferring Lightroom 4 from Hard Drive to Computer

    When I initially downloaded Lightroom 4 my desktop could not handle the amount of space the program/library took up so I began running Lightroom from an external hard drive. However, I now have a laptop that can handle running Lightroom.
    Upon trying to copy/paste all of the Lightroom files from the external hard drive onto my laptop, my Lightroom library now says that all of the photos are "missing".
    Ideally, I'd like to have my Lightroom software and library running from my laptop because I am in need of a larger external hard drive to hold all of my exported photos.
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

  • Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

    A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8.  Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog.  All image files are saved onto the flash drive.  We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
    When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved.  I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive?  I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
    thanks,
    Robert

    Robert,
    Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking.  And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
    For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
    ..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
    I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
    Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
    Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
    Note 2:  I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

  • Reloading itunes from flash drive

    My daughters PC had to be re-imaged due to a virus. She had all her itune songs backed up to a flash drive. No folders, just the individual songs. How do I get them back onto her PC now that itunes has been re-installed?

    Hey there,
    You should just be able to highlight all the songs from the flash drive and drag them over to iTunes when you have it opened (or if you have them in a folder, just drag the folder into iTunes).
    Or you can click File -> Import File to Library, (or if you have a folder, choose Import Folder to Library) and then locate the folder or file from the flash drive and then click Open.

  • Can't import photos from flash drive

    When I try to import photos from a flash drive, the images do not stay in the Library -- the next time I open iPhoto, I can see the photos but when I try to edit them, I get a screen prompt that the "source is unavailable - can't access the JPEG". To access the photo & edit I have to use the flash drive -- which kinda defeats the purpose of "importing" them in the first place. Why are the photos imported from my flash drive not staying in the Library? I have no problem importing images from digital camera -- those remain in the Library once imported. Please help!

    Thanks! A quick review of Preferences revealed the "Copy imported items to Library" was indeed unchecked -- though I don't recall ever unchecking it (as I just started using iPhoto recently). But I have re-checked it and expect the problem to be fixed. Just one un-referenced Library will work just fine for me.

  • How to run java on computer without java from flash drive

    Im running a chess club at school and the school computers, you aren't allowed to install on the hard drive.
    Is there a way to put an ide and the java folder containing the jre and jdk on a flashdrive and run the ide and run programs solely from the lfashdrive?

    Yes. put the JDK (not the separate JRE) on the flash drive. The JDK contains a JRE.
    Plug the flashdrive into a computer you control. If that computer already has the desired JDK installed, copy the JDK directory (all of it) to the flash drive. Otherwise, do an install of the JDK to the flash drive.
    To run Java application programs use a command that provides the full path to the java.exe program, for instance (in Windows)
    *<drive letter>:\<some directories>java <the name of your program>*
    You could create a bat file to make this easier to type.
    You can't run applets or anything else that depends on Registry entries.

  • How can I recover files from flash drive?

    I've apparently lost a bunch of '.pages' files on a 16GB Lexar flash drive that were present yesterday.  The '.pages' files were contained in a sub-folder.  The main folder is still there and apparently okay.  I am at a total lose as to where the files (and their sub-folder) have gone to.  Any suggestions on a program or procedure to try to see if they're still there and recoverable?  Any guidance will be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks! 
    I have a MAC Mini (Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.4 GHz Intel Core2Duo 8GB mem.
    If I've selected the wrong community to post this question to, please help me find the right one.  Thanks, again!

    Peter,
    Thanks for suggesting Disk Utility.  I didn't know it existed, but found it and ran it.  I checked 'Verify Disk' and it "Found 335234 orphaned clusters, 25174 files, 6428792 KiB free (803599 clusters)"  And, then responded (in Red) "Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
    After I checked "Repair Disk" it responded: "Volume repair complete. Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."
    After then checking the flash drive the 'lost' folder and files are still not present.
    I've been looking on the WEB for 'recovery programs' for MAC.  I'd just as soon find a 'free' application, but would consider purchasing a program if it would work.  What do you know about these 'recovery programs':

    Have you had any experience using any of them?  There are many more out there including ones that will 'scan' your flash drive ('free') and tell you what files it can recover, then you have to purchase the full program (~$99) to actually recover them.  Two of these programs are listed below:

    I had even converted 7 of the original '.pages' files to '.pdf' files to eMail some friends in the universal '.pdf' format on Nov. 28th.  The '.pdf' files were saved back to the original folder on the flash drive.  They, also, cannot be found anywhere!!?? 
    I can re-build the files (~150-200 photo pages from vacation trip back in May), but there were many comments and some special research (maps, etc.) I had included that I would probably not be able to duplicate exactly.  Luckily the '.jpg' photos from our trip are still present on the flash drive and also on the camera's memory stick - THANK GOODNESS!  However, now I am hoping that one of the recovery programs listed above might solve my problem.
    Again, thanks for your help, but I'm not THERE yet!
