Lightroom stalling with usb2 drive

i have an external usb2 100G drive. I have lately transfer my library to it. I can launch Lightroom, import, save to the drive, and everything I would expect. However, if I then go to another image and it has to go back to the usb drive to load the image, it stalls. I get the color pinwheel and it is totally frozen. I have tried only launching lightroom and other various things.
It seems to be stalling when having to communicate back and forth with a usb drive. My other programs don't have this problem, photoshop, etc.... but I am assuming that is because the current file is kept in memory.
Any suggestions? I keep my main data on Firewire and don't have the problem. I recently got the usb to talk on location and keep backups of files.

George, welcome to Apple Discussions.

Is Lightroom compatible with iCloud drive?

I am trying to use iCloud drive to store my Lightroom catalog. I want to access it from my iMac and my Macbook Pro, using smart previews. I have read about people doing this with dropbox, but iCloud drive is cheaper for 200gb a month. I exported a new catalog of my images to the iCloud drive folder on one computer. When I open the iCloud drive on the other computer the files are there with the download symbol next to them. Does this mean I have to download to my computer to use with Lightroom? And if so, what do I need to do to sync my changes?
Thanks for any help you may have.

For the record do not try and use iCloud drive with lightroom. Every time you tweak a file you need to repload entire catalog.

Is a USB3 ssd + Thunder bolt Lacie 256 gig drive compatible with a macbook 2008 with usb2 ports ?

Is a USB3 SSD + Thunder bolt Lacie 256 gig drive compatible with a Macbook 2008 with USB2 ports ?
I just purchased a Lacie SSD drive which ejects its self without any warning. Disappears from finder and disk utility. A message come up saying that the drive was ejected incorrectly when it is still shooing on desktop. I have tried both usb2 ports on mac with different cables ( usb2 to usb2 and usb3 to usb2 ) same problem.
Anybody have any ideas ?

with thunderbolt seagate it looks like it is power issue: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?102323-Vertex-4-on-seagat e-thunderbolt-adapter-2011-iMac

IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
(The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
<* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
- blowing dust out of the back with canned air
- checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
- fixing permissions from normal boot
- boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
- fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
- getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
- clearing PRAM
- resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
- Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
- virus scans (Clam XAV)
I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
iStat currently shows:
HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
==========================================
Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
[That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]

It worked perfectly for a while and then suddenly the other circle with a line attached to it where you can move it to a better spot stopped showing up. I uninstalled the software and re installed it again but it didn't fix the problem and its still the same. Help please.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Let's create a walkthrough for booting ppc's from usb2 drives!

What started as a personal project has now evolved into a call for a community collaboration. I think there's a new trick here that should be more available to the ppc using public. Let's create a walkthrough for the public that is complete, concise, and fool-proof.
I have been trying for days to figure out how I can create a bootable drive with what i've got;
PowerMac G5 quad, 500gig drive, 350gigs used, over 200 gigs of unimportant stuff.
Seagate external USB2 drive, 150 gigs, let's beta this puppy out til we get this
bondi blue, 80 gigs, no attachment, no remorse
History:
I have been trying to use my 150gig usb2 external drive to create a bootable drive. The general theory WAS, apparently, that ppc's cannot boot from usb, only firewire - but now intels can boot from either. I've read in many, many posts that USB drives CAN be booted from using a ppc, by either using SuperDuper to do a complete cloning, or booting from Open Firmware and using some scripts.
I can't get either of these to work, and it's probably because i did something wrong or there isn't a solid resource out there on this topic. I think it's because my internal hard drive is bigger than my external, so any cloning i do has to omit folders (movies, pictures, music only) and just isn't a 'complete backup'.
Posts have said that SuperDuper does something that has allowed USB2 drives to be bootable on a ppc without Open Firmware, even appear in the startup disk preference panel!
I just can't get it right, somehow, although plenty of others posted positive results with the same architecture. Is there a way of getting a good install on the usb drive? Can you give me a good walkthrough of the way to go about booting to it?
Next idea:
I have an old Bondi Blue, with 80gigs in it. Perhaps i can use this as a workaround to overcome the size issue (my internal drive being larger than my available external drive).
There's nothing important on the Bondi's hard drive, I just keep it around for OS 9, in case I need that (haven't since I was fourteen years old, though). So I thought, perhaps I can ethernet it to my powermac, reformat the drive and use it as an external drive. Then I bet I could use the install dvd to put 10.4 on it (though it won't run with anything past 10.3.1, just using it as a hard drive i could, right?). So I'd have to boot the bondi blue in some particular fashion; what would that be? As a 'slave drive' or something? Will I be able to boot from this over the ethernet cable?
If this is succesful (or first of all possible) then I could mount both the bondi (as an external/network/some kind of drive) and my usb2 hard drive to the PowerMac. With disk utility or SuperDuper, I could restore/clone the bondi to the USB2 drive, and Blam! the USB2 would have a clean install of os 10.4 that i could (maybe?) boot from with Open firmware. Then I could reinstall OS 9 on the bondi (i've been wanting to give it a fresh start anyway).
here's what i've been reading, and it's confusing, contradictory, and without solid answers:

FAQ: Will Lightroom work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

What is a raw file?
A raw file is the unprocessed data that was captured by your camera sensor when you took your picture. The only settings on your camera that apply to this file are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This means that any effects you may have applied to the file, such as white balance or black and white, may not appear in Lightroom. Your camera will create a JPEG copy of your raw file with all current settings applied and save that within the raw file for use as a thumbnail by most applications. When you first view a raw file in Lightroom, you will see this thumbnail, then Lightroom will read the raw data and create its own thumbnail, which may have a different appearance.
How does Lightroom work with raw camera files?
Lightroom interprets the raw data and makes image information out of it. But every camera has a unique sensor and thus has a unique form of raw file. Even though camera manufactures may use the same file extension each time (e.g. Nikon raw files are always .NEF), each camera model has a different way of storing information. Because of this, we must continually update Lightroom for new cameras. As we add new cameras to the list (over 300 now) we update our published list of supported cameras.
Will the raw files from my camera work with Lightroom?
To determine whether your camera is supported by Lightroom, check this list:
Supported cameras
Go to Help > Updates to install the latest release. You can also manually download and install Lightroom updates:
Macintosh
Windows
What if I own a previous version of Lightroom?
Supposing you have a camera that came out after the release of a newer version of Lightroom, so that your version of Elements is no longer recieving updates, you have two basic options:
Purchase the latest version of Lightroom that supports your camera.
Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Lightroom). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.
For more assistance on DNG:

Can I perform tethered capture from my camera to Lightroom?
Lightroom has the ability to automatically import images from your camera, as you shoot, life. To learn more about setting up and useing tethered capture, please see Import photos from a tethered camera. This list shows all the cameras that Lightroom supports for tethered shoooting:
Tethered camera support | Lightroom 4, 3
Use this document if you run into trouble when performing tethered shooting:
Troubleshoot tethered capture | Lightroom 4, 3
For more assistance on Tethered Shooting:
Adobe TV - Import photos from a tethered camera
Will Lightroom help me automatically compensate for the image distortion caused by my camera lens?
The Develop module of Lightroom includes Lens Correction which can read what lens was used from the metadata. With this information it can pick a profile that will reduce distortion caused by the curvature of the lens. For a list of which lenses are supported by which camera bodies, see this list:
Lens profile support | Lightroom 4, 3
If your lens is not currently supported, you have a few options:
Apply the lens correction manually
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (Download: Mac, Win) to see if someone else has created a profile your camera and lens
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Creator (Download: Mac, Win) to make your own profile for your camera and lens.

Start up with external Drive connected and switched on

When starting up with my external USB2 drive connected, it takes ages, I usually resort to switching it off and then back on when my Mac has started. Has anyone got any tips on how to speed up the start up process?
Cheers

Sounds like it may well be the photos (or more likely any video in iphoto) rather than the drive that is causing the issues.
Have you installed all the updates for imovie including the ilife compatibility update.

CS 5 Bridge Downloader crashes with network drive

For the first time with CS5 I have tried "getting photos" from my camera. If I specify the destination on my local drive there is no problem. If, I specify a mapped network drive the downloader stalls, and eventually I have to kill the program in task manager.
I didn't have this problem with CS4. Has anyone tried using this workflow with a network drive with success?
Any ideas what the problem might be?
There is plenty of free space on the network drive.
Thanks.

Adobe always answers that they can't guarantee anything working with networked drives because they can't know every network configuration out there.
Hence, always save to a local drive initially.

Lightroom installing on C: drive, despite CC preferences install location on E:

Having a problem with Lightroom installing to C drive despite E drive being the preference setting under Apps in Creative Cloud. Have uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled numerous times to no avail. Photoshop installed with no issues to E drive after uninstalling off of C drive, changing preferences in CC to E and reinstalling Photoshop. No problems. Assumed Lightroom would install the same way, but no such luck. Help!!

Thanks for the help Mylenium. You have saved me hours of frustration and wasted time. Just discovered a host of other members who were complaining bitterly in 2013 and 2014. Hopefully Adobe heeds their customers concerns and fixes it in 2015, or at the very least has a pop up window that states what the FAQ states "Lightroom must be installed to your local drive and can't be installed to custom location like other Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom always installs to the default location and disregards any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is as designed." That would have saved me so much time and aggravation, and no doubt other frustrated members to come.

Disconnected Use(with external drive)= Corrupted file structure

Help. Really like the way LR handles RAW. Big problem for me is that my Mac Book Pro HD is too full. I'm using an EHD from OWC(FW800). If I launch LR with the drive unmounted LR starts verifying files and pulling all sorts of garbage into the LR Folder panel. If I reconnect the drive there is no repair and only a fraction of the files show up with their terminal folder- the folder structure on the EHD is flattened to useless. Fatal flaw? or my error?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Dan- Happy to try and help. It has happen under 2 scenarios, the lrdb files are at MacHD/users/srp/pictures/LightRoom/...irdb in both cases.
Scenario 1: I had a folder with some duplicates in MAC HD/users/...pictures/My Photos/duplicate files. When I would dismount the EHD and launch LR it would pull the dups on the Mac HD into the DB and reference what looked to be temps for missing files as well with fairly random preview distribution. The EHD file structure is OWC/users/srp/pictures/My Photos/files by date.
Scenario 2: I ditched the duplicate folders on the MAC HD (they were not referenced in LR before disconnect anyway) and launched LR. It initiates checking for files and photos again and pulled random preview references to odd files replacing the original folder structure. In this case there were no valid references to pull so it was mostly garbage, it did preserve a few "?" files.
Folders Panels: http://aktlr.smugmug.com/gallery/2668872#141260988.
Ive included scenario 1 & 2 grabs and an example of a garbage path
My work around is that I delete the lrdb and replace it with a clean copy, better than re-importing everything.

Migration stalled with "less than a minute remaining"

This issue was discussed back in April, but no definitive solution was found.
I installed Mountain Lion on an older MacBook Pro and all went well until I got to the Setup Assistant after restart. The migration of my files from a Time Machine backup stalled with "less than a minute remaining" while "transferring files to support applications". Apparently this is a known issue that affects older Macs upgrading from Snow Leopard. I have two questions about this:
1. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround for this problem? In the earlier thread, some people repeated the file transfer several times with exactly the same results. One person evidently had better luck when he started over and deselected everything but Users on the transfer options screen; but it obviously requires alot of extra work on the user's part to reinstall every application.
2. What is the best way to abort the stalled transfer without risk of damaging the data on my Time Machine backup drive? Mountain Lion refused to install on my startup drive until I erased it, so my Time Machine backup is the only copy I have of my data. Since Setup Assistant is not frozen, I can hit command-Q and Setup Assistant offers to shut down; but is the data on my backup drive at risk if I shut down and start over?
Thanks!

Has your Migration Assistant actually crashed? I am restoring my computer from a hard drive failure and the following dialog has been displayed for the last 12 hours. I clicked on the App in the dock to see if it was displaying as crashed, it doesn't appear to be.
I checked the "Get Info" on the Hard Drive Volume, and it is showing a very slow progression of used bytes. I suspect the transfer is still continuing, just very slow as I have so much data. I think it is a matter of quanity of files rather than "file size".
Should be interesting to see in another day or so to see if it completes. :-)

USB issues with External Drive

I am running a 1 TB Fantom drive (MDC1000) (2 Partitions) on new OS 10.5.6 MacPro via one of the back USB ports. Been using the drive for over a year with no problems.
Now intermittent issue with mounting drive. After successfully mounting and letting the drive cycle down, the USB2 connection disconnects when the drive starts back up again. I receive the Device Removal Message, then the drive tries to remount. Then I receive the message again. What is strange is that the drive seems to work fine when data is being accessed consistently.
I clicked off the "put the hard disc to sleep" checkbox in the Energy Saver preference which seemed to stabilize the intermittent problem, but now there is an issue with the machine not coming out of sleep, and I get the startup clock icon when I try to restart. The machine does not shut down with the USB connected.
I'm still trying to determine if it's the drive or the machine. I ran the disc utility and repaired the disc as the intermittent disconnections seem to corrupt the trees and directories. I am able to fix them. Is there any utility for testing the USB ports? There should BE.
Could this be due to a recent update? Or lack of firmware update from the drive manufacturer? Seemed to come out of nowhere.
Thanks for any info.

Just to follow up with this for anyone has a similar problem.
Tried new cables and seemed better for a short time, but then still would not mount successfully.
I called Micronet after I didn't hear back via their email form. The tech there seemed to suspect it was the power connection on the network card in the drive which would make some sense. He confirmed there were no firmware upgrades for the Fantom drive.
Also tried to mount the drive unsuccessfully via Firewire and it did not work.
So my conclusion is that it's not the drive mechanism but the network card in the drive. I have a sinking suspicion that there is a power issue in my office space, which may have affected the drive. I've had other machines and devices which have had power issues in the past.
Does anyone know any simple and easy way to test electrical integrity in a work/office environment?
I bought another 2tb drive, transferred the data and reformatted the old drive to see if that does anything.

Trouble with USB2 after XP SP1 (coming from VIA Socket A board)

(This is condensed from a thread originally on the VIA Socket A Based board. I was requested by maesus to move it here asI have an Intel board.)
I have a new 845E Max2 motherboard and installed Windows XP.
I have a USB2 problem after installing XP SP1 - yellow question marks in the hardware manager under "Other Hardware"/"USB (Universal Serial Bus)-Controller".
I tried "Uninstalling" the USB controller as was suggested in the (VIA) forum, but it won't let itself be removed.
When I try "Search for new hardware" it shows a message that an error occurred when installing the hardware, and that the hardware is not properly configured (Code 1). It suggests that I re-install the driver. When I select "re-install driver", I just get another error message. It asks me if I have a CD or disk wit drivers, but I can't find anything appropriate on the driver disk I got with the motherboard.
I'm sure USB is enabled because I'm able to operate USB devices using both the standard board rear sockets and those on the extra bar. I have a HP USB Scanner and a PenCam, both of which work OK.
In the Devicew Manager, under "USB", there are three USB controllers and three USB Hubs noted, all designated as operational.
I assume that the "unknown" device which is causing trouble is the on-board USB 2.0 controller which is supposedly supported by MS Win XP SP1. For this reason I can't find a suitable driver to load - maybe there's one in the SP1 somewhere but I have no idea where to start looking for it. (I even tried re-installing the SP1, with no positive results.)
I sent a direct enquiry to MSI's support desk last week but, up to now, have had no response.
Has anyone an idea where I should start looking for a driver? I tried the MSI driver CD I got with my board, but couldn't find anything suitable. Or any other advice how to solve the problem?
Regards Steve

Hi again!
Tried the procedure suggested by the (fairly recent - I think March or April 2002) "Lockergnome" WinXP tip(Sorry I don't have a reference now, but this is my work machine and I don't have Lockergnome archive installed) and it seems to work - at least I no longer have an "unknown" device with yellow question marks in the device manager, and I DO now have an "extended USB 2" device in device manager under "USB", in addition to the 3 standard MoBo USB ports and 3 USB hubs I had up to now.
The trick was that XP's Driver installation routine was saying my USB2 driver data were "invalid". In fact, it was just that certain PCI registry permissions were set to "read-only" for administrators, instead of "full-access". Opening up the permissions with regedit, then re-installing the USB driver seemed to do the trick.
If I still have USB2 problems, I'll post them but I hope I've cured this one. I'll also post the reference to the Lockergnome article when I get home.
Regards
Steve

Photoshop CC 2014 having a problem with display driver then crashes computer

You need to update your video driver from the website of the manufacturer of your video card. You cannot rely on Windows Update or Microsoft, which typically have outdated drivers.
