Name of Drive storing image files has changed

I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this - but it has me stumped.
My OS is Windows XP Pro.
All of the images files that I have imported into Lightroom are located on an external hard drive that was labeled the "G" drive when I first installed it.
Now I have plugged in a Lexar Media thumb drive and that has usurped the "G" dive label and reassigned an "H" label to my external hard drive where all the image files were imported from.
So... now all my folders, key words, catalogs, etc, etc. are no longer showing up when I open Lightroom.
How do I reconnect with all the work I have done. I have tried to figure out how to undo the drive name change, but to no avail so far.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks....Randy

Use disk manager. If you right click on My computer and select manage it will take you there. First step, with the Lexar drive connected, right click on it in disk manager and change it's letter to something else. Then remove it connect, the external drive and change it to the letter you want. You may have to reboot between steps one and two. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this - but it has me stumped. > > My OS is Windows XP Pro. > > All of the images files that I have imported into Lightroom are located on > an external hard drive that was labeled the "G" drive when I first > installed it. > > Now I have plugged in a Lexar Media thumb drive and that has usurped the > "G" dive label and reassigned an "H" label to my external hard drive where > all the image files were imported from. > > So... now all my folders, key words, catalogs, etc, etc. are no longer > showing up when I open Lightroom. > > How do I reconnect with all the work I have done.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

Macbook pro hard drive apple claimed 'failed', has changed it's tune. BUT....

This is a very looooong story, but here's the short version of it (I swear). I can add more details as needed. And there is definitely a question at the end.
And I should preface this by saying I am a novice computer user, and really don't understand how hard drives, or permissions, or any of that stuff works.
1. Two weeks ago my mid 2011 17" top-of-the-line macbook pro wouldn't wake from sleep upon opening from clamshell mode (familiar story to many)
2. Did a hard shut down using power button
3. Powered back up and got spinny rainbow no matter what I clicked. Took 10 minutes for any single action to respond, even opening text edit.
4. Could not force quit, could not restart, system eventually froze
5. Did another hard shut down
6. System would then NOT boot normally
7. Booting in safe mode showed invalid node errors
8. Was able to get the OS to work, was preparing to do a backup, and in a "smack my head later" move, I closed the lid not thinking, when I went to the other room to get something to drink (had I know what was to come, that drink would have been a double gin & tonic). MBP not wake up again. Again- hard shut down.
9. This time would not boot at all- even in safe mode, even running repair disk permissions on screen while booting. Would get to the end of booting and just die- not start, not finish, nothing.
10. Brought to apple genius bar. They confirmed the hard drive had failed. They replaced hard drive for free (with the exact same model and make of drive!! TOSHIBA MK7559GSFX. Thanks for instilling more confidence apple!!)
11. I brought my failed drive home and swapped it out with the drive in my 2008 15" macbook pro, which is where it has been living since then.
12. Fired it up in target disk mode with my iMac, and the drive never appeared as an external drive/device. Tried this multiple times after multiple restarts
13. Booted the 15" mbp to Lion's 'over the air' recovery, and was able to get disk utility open that way
14. Will NOT boot from the drive (get the apple logo, the spinny circle and the bar that never progresses, no matter how many hours/days I leave it for)
In the past week I have:
used DiskWarrior (says drive is damaged and can't be repaired)
used Data Rescue 3 (which I was getting error messages with too but now is telling me it can't do anything because the drive is the bootable drive, and not an external (presumably because it's in the machine?)
In Disk Utility I have verified permissions, repaired permissions, verified disk and repaired disk. They all report errors, including repair disk, which tells me the drive is damaged and can't be repaired. (I get it, I have a bad hardware problem)
booted from Lion-installed external travel drive, to try and have the drive be recognized
attempted to run Drive Genuis 3 with no success
attempted to create a new image using both disk utility and one of my software programs (don't remember which) with no success
attempted to restore disk image using disk utiltity with no success
am now running Stellar Phoenix 'recover lost volumes' with what appears to be success- it has found 5 lost volumes, but appears to be only 1/15th of the way done after about 24 hours. I'll let it run intil it's done- however long that may be. I have no idea what happens when it ends.
Now, here is where the story gets interesting.
For 5 days the drive would not only not boot, but it wouldn't mount either. It just didn't exist. There was no information on the drive in disk utility, and I couldn't access it no matter what mode I chose.
BUT THEN, sometime shortly after hitting 'repair disk' about 12 times (getting failure messages each time), it mounted. Wahoo!
Not only did it mount, but it has been mounting reliablibly each time after many restarts, using an external drive loaded with Lion as the boot drive.
AND, now the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status says it's verified- both on the main Toshiba drive and the volume that contains my user account. It also shows the correct GB of data on the volume: 316.73 GB.
I can also run verfiy permissions, which completed successfully.
AND, I was able to click on the volume name (Louise. My iMac's name is Thelma. They work great together, LOL), and see the contents on the drive!
First, when I opened the applications folder, it showed it as empty. But then I left it alone for about 5-10 minutes, and suddenly all of my apps appeared in the folder. Awesome!! There were a few in there I didn't have on my iMac, and didn't purchase through the app store, so I backed those up right away to another external hard drive I had plugged in.
This was surprising and encouraging until I got to my user folder- 'jamie'.
I opened it and it too shows as being empty. Zero kb. Left it alone for a long time, but sadly no files appeared. This was a few days ago- still no files appearing.
To make this clear- my main user folder- called 'jamie'- says 'zero kb', 0 items. This is the folder that houses all of my documents and image files.
BUT, disk utility, and Stellar Phoenix, and Drive Genuis 3 all are reading 'Louise' and telling me the data is there- 316.73 GB worth. I just can't see it.
So I realized this may be a problem with permissions because I am using a new- different- user account. I was also thinking that if I could show hidden files, I might be able to see something in the folder that might help. So I downloaded TinkerTool and selected 'show hidden and system files'. No dice, still empty. Then I right-clicked on my user folder to get info and under 'sharing and permissions', the users, and the settings at the bottom are greyed out and I can't change anything.
In system preferences, the user for the failed drive does not show at all, and when I try to add it by using the same name and password, it tells me the user already exists.
Now I'm stumped. I feel like I've made progress and am getting close to getting the contents, but not sure what to do next, or if I'm fighting a losing battle.
Here is what I am doing now:
I am going to let Stellar Phoenix finish finding lost volumes, because it's the only app that seems to be doing anything.
I purchased an external drive enclosure from amazon (this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00655YT9C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00), which I will be receiving on Monday.
I'll pull the drive out of the 15" mbp and put it in the new external enclosure and will then try to run Data Recovery 3 on the drive
If that's unsuccessful, I'll try DiskWarrior again, and/or maybe one of the other software programs
And then if those don't work I guess I'm done.
Based on the information I provided, do I indeed have a failed hard drive, and will NOT be able to recover the contents of my drive, and am SOL and am just wasting my own time?
Or is there a way I can get the files in my user account to show?
I wanted to provide all of the backstory on this first, instead of just saying "user folder empty" in case the backstory helps someone know what's going on.
Anyone want a crack at this? I can upload screen grabs if that helps. Insight? Suggestions? Ideas? Thank you in advance!!
================================================================================ ================
BTW: about backing up. I am diligent about backing up and always have redundant backups of everything (I'm a professional photographer). I DID have my mbp fully backed up via Time Machine to an external drive, but due to my iMac ALSO failing recently and needing repair work, I had to wipe the drive clean and do a full backup of my iMac, which filled the last drive I had left, because I also recently purchased a Canon 5D Mark III, which produces insanely huge RAW files which helped completely fill a single drive I had used to back up both the iMac and mbp. Couple that with writing a book under deadline for a major publisher and not having time to research or purchase another drive, and a failing macbook pro drive a short time later and it was the perfect storm- a total cluster.
(Also, tried Data Rescue 3 on the external drive that DID have the mbp backup on it and was unsuccessful).
The good news is, since the hard drive was less than a year old when it failed (again, thanks Apple!), and it was all mirrored content to my iMac to begin with, (most of which I would pass over to the iMac whenever I had the chance), only about 15% of the data on this failed drive is data I don't have on my iMac. Unfortunately it's all documents- word docs, pages docs, text docs, excel docs, that can't be recreated, including, what I think is the funniest blog post I've ever written. Sigh...... No client work or images thank god, But still. I really want it back.

u can give try to using external enclosre and backup ur files. I hope u will get files back. or using external enclosre with ur hdd boot into Linux and try to mount ur harddisk.

I don't think so..
I can preview a report, it tells me it is fixing report then displays data. I close the report and open and it asks again.
Would adding records to the table cause this?
I am new to Crystal, maybe the data is being stored with the report and it trys to refresh.

Image files and changing extensions

Hello All, I am completely new to photoshop and for that matter, graphic design in general. I always thought that a particular image type (.gif, .jpeg, .bmp) needs to be altered by a graphics program into another graphics type, i.e. 'Save as...'. A collegue is trying to change an image simplt by changing the extension and I don't believe that will work. Am I on the right track? TIA.

You are right and your colleague is wrong.
The extension relates to a data format within the file and you can't change that with a different extension.

Storing image file in ms-access using jdbc

Dear all,
When i try to store a image file in MS-Access, I try it using OLE Object type in ms-access and object type in Java but i got following exception
java.sql.SQLException: SQL Exception : Unknown SQL Type for PreparedStatement.setObject (SQL Type=1111
So anyone please guide me that how to store an image file into ms-access database using the jdbc.
ishan

Do you want to store the text from the file? or the actual file?
If you want to store large amounts of raw text, then you can use the MEMO type, but it will only store up to 64kb (65,535 characters). If you want to store the actual file, you'll have to use a field of OLE type.
Does this answer your question? or were you asking something else?

Storing image files (.gif) into database from sql plus

dear all
I have to store image files into a table with BLOB attribute.
What will be the insert command to insert a .gif file into the database.
thanks.

You can use DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile, I assume you would load these as a BLOB.
The documentation can be found on technet at
urlhttp://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/appdev.901/a89852/dbms_20b.htm#1009007
[\url]
An alternative would be to use java to read the file from the file system, and serve it up as a CLOB or BLOB, and INSERT it into the database from there.
Good Luck,

Color change in Mode in 1 file has changed every image systemwide--help!

running cs3 on imac osx
making business cards, rgb mode. colors just right. then the guy that does my printing tells me i have to give the file to him in cmyk. so i changed to cmyk in Image>Mode, knowing that the colors would be different. printed a version and ugh, hated it; much darker and more drab. so, changed Mode back to rgb. But--OMG-- the color, when i printed it, had NOT changed back! i opened another file--one that i had not messed with, which has never been anything but rgb. and lo! it too had changed colors to the dark and drab!
what in the world is going on? please help

HD4770 display driver opening image files takes forever

Hi... 4770 / w7 / clean cs5 64 bit user here. my situation : 1 click and photoshop cs5 boots and opens any of my ( large) files instantly, with absolutely NO delay at all. (8gb ram) and it does this consistenly. like BAM! open. AS LONG AS THERE IS no display driver / ccc installed....
( just the generic driver from windows) the minute i install the corresponding display driver for my videocard, the same operation (opening files, even small ones) takes considerably longer. (slow)
Tried to use the lastest ATI display drivers alone, problem persisted, ccc same issue. 12.01 update? same storry. I dont care for OpenGL acceleration so i turned that off, no change... so what should i do? do you guys think is ok to use just the generic windows driver like that? ( says 8mb, real card has 512DDR5...) I dont do much gaming, but what about power / heat? ( no 2d clocks?) btw, no overheating, nor stange virus/ misconfiguration issues. thanks!

1) did you install the Catalyst 10.7 driver set, current from ATI/AM
no, but tried 10.6 and 10.5. will try again
2) did you make sure to do a custom install and avoid installing all the extra crap (like the video game) they try to set up?
yes custom install, just the driver
3) It's possible that there's something physically wrong with the parts of the card the video driver needs to function. Do other programs seem to work with the ATI/AMD Catalyst installed?
no problems whatsoever
4) Did you actually shut down Photoshop and try starting it again after making that change?
yes
Make sure and reboot the computer after installing the drivers (even though they don't strictly require it).
rebooting was necessary

Thanks.

Im just glad to see others have the exact same permission changes, which as the other replied stated, makes me not worry about it.
I just don't like Apple changing permissions so they can "read" anything on my computer they want - when Im on iTunes for instance.

"Menu Photoshop file has changed outside..."

The first time I saw this message (a few months ago soon after I started using Encore) I blissfully clicked on 'Yes'. That really messed things up so each time since I have clicked on the non-default 'No'.
I was wondering why I should be getting this message? I have an old version of Photoshop on my machine but it's a Windows version (I'm using a Mac), only used inside VMWare Fusion and not too often at that. I've never used it to modify a menu as I'm perfectly happy with the templates that came with Encore and only changing the titles and text of those as appropriate. Is there something I should do to stop it appearing?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies.
I didn't buy the complete suite. Premiere Pro is Version 5.5.2 and Encore is Version 5.1.0.342 both running on a Mac using Mac OS X Version 10.7.2. My Photoshop Elements is Version 6.0 (20070910.r.377499) running (sometimes, not often) under Windows XP with VMWare Fusion.
As far as I know nothing running under VMWare Fusion 'knows' that it's on a Mac and, provided VMWare Fusion is running then the contents of that Windows/DOS partition are invisible to the Mac. OK, I can handily drag files between the two 'machines' but never files associated with Encore/Photoshop.
I only touch the Encore files with Encore and I only use my version of Photoshop Elements for totally independent functions. In fact I use it rarely and never (as far as I can remember) at the same time as Encore is running. Could it be that my Mac Encore is looking for my old Windows Photoshop Elements and thinking, just because it exists somewhere on the same machine, that it is somehow interfering?
The dialog box above doesn't appear every time I use Encore but it would be great to not have it pop up (erroneously) like this rather than running the risk of hitting 'Yes' and losing all the title changes etc I've made to a template. Nobody else has seen it under these sorts of circumstances?

My full name for my e-mail address has changed

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Finding out that an open file has changed

Hi. I'm working on a java app to monitor a log file. Unfortunately, when the log file rotation occurs (by moving the file to "log.1" and creating a new "log") I can't figure out how to determine that from my app; the code just goes it's merry way. When the file is renamed, the open file in the java app continues to have access to the original file (under the new name) and if I add lines to the "log.1" file, the java app continues to read them.
This is on JDK 1.4.0 for Linux, and I'm using a RandomAccessFile object.
Any ideas? Other than (wastefully) opening a new File everytime through the monitor loop I can't think of a clean solution.
