Question about Adding External Storage/File Management

I am using LR5.2 on mid-2011 MBA. Before long I will run out of space on the HD. I have one catalog of about 16K photos. I would like to purchase external hard drive for additional storage. I use Time Machine for backup. What is the best way to manage the additional storage and keep the catalog intact?
1) I currently have photos organized by date? i.e., Pictures/2013/2013-10-10/ etc. Should I keep this file organization as it is and then when importing new photos, select 'copy' from SD card and select 'Location' as new external drive?
OR
2) Should I move all photos to new backup drive to keep all files stored together? Would this be better for long term file management?
Any recommendations for best practices? Or is there a better to organize photos for current and future use?
Also, does the catalog stay in the same location under either 1) or 2)
Thanks in advance

I would suggest creating a root folder on the EHD. You will need to keep your EHD connected when working with Lightroom. It will show up like your Mac HD with the green light in the left hand panel.
Leave everything where it is for the time being but you may want to drag older folders to the EHD over time, as importing new photos, generating previews and using the develop module will usually be faster on the main flash drive of the MBA.
Don’t use Finder to move files/folders around. Always use the Lightroom Library and the database of files and your develop settings (catalog) will not get corrupted.

Question About Adding Ram from other laptop to T-series Thinkpad

Hi,
I have a question about adding additional RAM. Right now I have a 4gb ram stick in the t510. I have an acer laptop which I do not need and there is a 4GB ram stick onboard (maybe two 2gb ram sticks) there in that older laptop. Would it be possible to add one stick of 2gb ram (or 4gb i need to check if it is 2 or 1) from the acer to the lenovo thinkpad making the total ram in the thinkpad over 4gb????
Thanks in advance

Hi Richk,
Yes, I am using a 64-bit operating system. I am running on windows 7. And as for reported incompatibilities....technically taking a RAM from another laptop and placing it in the laptop should be the same as purchasing a RAM card from ebay or something and putting into the laptop right?

Questions about adding files in LR3

I've been a happy LR user for years. I used the LR3 beta and liked it (especially the 2nd version) and generally I'm very happy with the release version of LR3. But I have some questions about the import process.
In LR2 I could edit off my Compact Flash cards (I know that's not smart, but sometimes on deadline fast is better than not smart) by adding the photos my library without moving them. That option is grayed out in LR3. Is there a way to turn it on or is this is a "new feature." If it's a permanent thing, maybe for 3.1 or the next incremental upgrade Adobe could make this possible with a popup (like we get when adding captions to multiple files) warning that editing photos on a CF (or SD) card is a bad idea. But let us make the decision.

It's a deliberate change - time to adjust the workflow!

Another question about adding music to iPhone

Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box.
It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

The Question about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management

Hi,
There is a scenario about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management storage location. I use transaction MB1B , movement type 313 , 315. After Good issue from WM-management storage location, outbound delivery will genarated, then Pack, Create/Confirm TO, at last post goods issue for the outboud delivery. But when i do movement type 315, there is a warning message "Data of preceding document was not transmitted", and from the F1 help i find this system reponse "You can maintain an indicator that makes information about preceding documents in this delivery available under delivery type in Customizing. For some characteristics of this indicator, the type of preceding document and the related document and item numbers must be transmitted to delivery creation. At least one of these parameters is missing.".
So, My questions are:
1. Generallily, Outbound delivery is created by SO, inbound delivery is created referenc PO, but how the stock transfer for 2 steps generate the outbould delivery and inbound delivery? Could you pls tell me the where i can config this in the IMG?
2. What's "Data of preceding document was not transmitted" mean ? how to fix this issue ?

Help need in Adding External jar files.

Hi all,
Iam developing ADF application using JDEV 11.1.1.3.0.
I need to move files from one directory to another so i have used external jar "commons-io-1.4.jar" file.
i did this by going to the project properties -->Libraries and Classpath -->Add Library
added the jat file.
In java class i have used the function
File.copyFileToDirectory(reQueueFile, TargetLocation,false);
it was working fine when i tried in IntegratedWeblogic server but when i deploy in Standalone Weblogic server its not getting the jar file.
Its throwing me the exception
javax.el.ELException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.moveFileToDirectory(Ljava/io/File;Ljava/io/File;Z)V
at com.sun.el.parser.AstValue.invoke(AstValue.java:161)
at com.sun.el.MethodExpressionImpl.invoke(MethodExpressionImpl.java:283)
at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXComponentBase.broadcastToMethodExpression(UIXComponentBase.java:1303)
Please let me know is there a way of adding the lib to the project.
Regards,
Suresh kumar.k

First you should check that the library has the checkbox 'Deploy by default' is checked for your library.
The you open the project properties of the view controller project, select Deployments, edit the deployment descriptor. Select the Node 'File Groups'->'WEB-INF/lib'->'Contributors'. this should give you a list of libraries your project uses. Check if your library has the checkbox checked (is selected fro deployment). If it's not checked, set it.
This should include the library.

Adding External Jar files

Hello,
I have successfully created and deployed a portal application project (par file) that required adding as an external jar the file com.sap.portal.usermanagementapi.jar. Now I am re-doing the project as a development component in NWDI and I can add the external jar file fine and the source code shows no errors. However as soon as I build the DC I get a source error that says the import to com.sap.ip.portal.service.ume.IUserManagementEngine can not be resolved. If I go back to the java build path the usermanagementapi.jar is no longer there.
Do I have to handle the adding of external jar files in a different way for a DC as opposed to a par project?
Thanks,
Bert

Question about RAW to JPG file sizes

Hello all, I have a question/concern in reference to file size changes when converting from RAW to JPG formats in PSE6. I've recently purchased a CANON 50D, and have started shooting in RAW format (actually RAW2+JPG). I have the CAMERA RAW 5.2 plugin and my workflow process is something akin to this:
1. Separate all RAW and JPG images into their respective folders.
2. Open the RAW folder in BRIDGE, and then open up a CR2 file. CR2 file is approx 15MB at this point, as reported in Finder.
3. Perform various corrections in ACR52 to the file, then do as SAVE AS to a DNG file.
4. Next step is to OPEN IMAGE, bringing it up in PSE6.
5. Make any necessary corrections to the picture, and then do a SAVE AS to a new file name and folder, selecting JPG format.
6. Selection MAX QUALITY from subsequent dialogue box, and SAVE.
When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
I've been doing some reading on this over the weekend, but cant explain away the severe loss in file size, and whether this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong in the process.
Appreciate any advice or suggestions to help improve my work processes, and ultimately the final photos!

Regarding your file size questions, have a look at this thread and see if it answers some of your questions:
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/741532/0
> When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
Dimensions and resolution are related and multiple combinations can be produced from the same number of pixels. For example, your 50D at maximum image size produces 4,752 by 3,168 pixels. This full-size image could be printed at:
- 19.8 x 13.2 inches at 240 PPI
- 47.52 x 31.68 inches at 100 PPI
- 7.92 x 5.28 inches at 600 PPI
As you can maybe see, talking about dimensions and resolution doesn't make much sense until you are ready to consider printing. Note also that I used "PPI" or Pixels Per Inch since this is the slightly more correct terminology. DPI or "Dots Per Inch" is usually a reference to how a printer lays down the ink drops onto the paper. Many printers actually put more "dots" on the paper than there are pixels. Many people and companies use DPI when they mean PPI.
Now in your case you are apparently starting with an SRAW2 raw file. SRAW2 files from the 50D have a reduced number of pixels and are 2,276 pixels wide by 1,584 pixels high. At 240 PPI this would allow you to print the image at 9.9 by 6.6 inches. If you are ending up with something smaller than that, it means you have either re-sampled the image (changed the image so the same image is displayed with fewer pixels) or you have cropped the image.
Hope that helps.

Question about adding an index to a column and finding it back

Hi, How do I see in phpMyAdmin that an index is added to a column.(I'm talking about adding an index by clicking on the lightning bolt!) I know how to add an index and see a warning that it's added (only after I add it).
But where do I find it or a sign that it is added later on?!
Thanks!

Hello Raktim
com.sap.security.api should be available within NWDS plugins and should work fine if you add sap-jee DC as used dc.
For external jars check this link

works fine in netwever 7.01 .

Question about adding an Extra Node to SOFS cluster

Hi, I have a fully functioning SOFS cluster, with two nodes, it uses SAN FC storage, Not SAS JBODS. its running about 100VM's in production at the moment.
Both my nodes currently sit on one blade chassis, but for resiliency, I want to add another node from a blade chassis in our secondary onsite smaller DC.
I've done plenty of cluster node upgrades before on SQL and Hyper-V , but never with a SOFS cluster.
I have the third node fully prepaired, it can see the Disks the FC Luns, on the SAN (using powerpath, disk manager) and all the roles are installed.
so in theory I can just add this node in the cluster manager and it should all be good, my question is has anyone else done this, and is there anything else I should be aware of, and what's the best way to check the new node will function , and be able
to migrate the File role over without issues. I know I can run a validation when adding the node, I presume this is the best option ?
cannot find much information on the web about expanding a SOFS cluster.
any advice or information would be greatfully received !!
cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
As you said there is no much information which related to add a node to a SOFS cluster.
The only ones I could find is related to System Center (VMM):
How to Add a Node to a Scale-Out File Server in VMM
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn466530.aspx
However adding a node to SOFS cluster should be simple as you just prepared. You can have a try and see the result.

Questions about iomega external hard drive.

Hi guys, I own an iomega 1TB external hard drive. Till now I've been happy with it despite its fan tends to be noisy, but I'm facing a lack of space issue. Elgato's EyeTV pretty much took up most of it. Rather than buying a second hard drive I was thinking on replacing its internal disks. I opened it up and saw two 500GB with a connector I had never seen before. My question here is, if I bought two 1TB disks with the same connectors, could I just swap them? Would they work? Said new disks actually would come from a Sun's storage rack. Are disks compatible? I mean, would I be able to re-format it/them to be used with Leopard easily (like using the Disk Utility)? Would the iomega box recognize them and be able to handle them?
Once all above's sorted, I'll just have to worry about the data migration, which isn't any simpler at all. I know no-one who owns any storage solution that I could borrow to temporarily store all the data. And if go to anyone they might not have Mac-formatted disks.
Sorry if you think this post shouldn't be here. iomega won't help at all and I believe this Mac brotherhood can enlighten me through this odyssey.
If you need more info from both current and new disks I can email you pictures of the labels of both. Email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
George...

All the commands remain grayed out when I click on various partitions. Maybe it's because I'm actually booted up on my external hard drive. I deleted several GB of files from my internal hard drive, but it still won't boot up. So it looks like I have a technical problem, and I'll have to visit my local Apple store. After I get it fixed, I'll take another look at re-partitioning my external hard drive.
Thanks.

How can I recover deleted folders - also - question about editing/deleting msf files

Context: My wife accidentally deleted a series of folders from Thunderbird v.24.6.0
She says that the system warned her that there was "not enough space" or something like that (she doesn't remember clearly) and asked her if she wanted to "delete them permanently" (or something like that), but she pressed "yes" anyway. She then freaked out, and when I came in to see what she was screaming and crying about, she told me the above story.
SO, after spending the last 2-3 hours reading through help articles and finding my local Mail file/structure, learning about Mork and msf and compacting and X-Mozilla-Status codes, downloading Notepad++ and poking around through some of the files to familiarize myself with their format ... here I am trying to learn how to restore the folders.
Here is where I am at so far:
1. When I went to the Activity Manager, it shows the folders that were deleted, one below the others in a list with the title "Deleted folder foldername" with a dozen different folder names.
2. When I look for the one of the folders that was deleted in the Mail/path/foldername" - I open it (the one without the file extension) in notepad++ and it is empty. There only exists line 1 and there is no text in it (vs. the other folders I check that have the emails in standard From_line format.
This concerns me greatly and leaves me stuck. Did TB actually delete and compact the folder? Are they really deleted, not just X-Mozilla-Status deleted?
3. I don't understand how to restore a folder. I know I can go into a folder and change the X-Mozilla-Status for individual messages - but how to I restore the entire folder? I don't understand how the msf related to the deleted files/folders. It seems like there would be an entry/code somewhere that tells TB - "don't read this entire folder" that I could reverse/edit. I can't figure it out on my own.
4. I understand that, if I delete the foldername.msf file, TB will compact the foldername file. I think I should NOT do this because it will permanently delete the files I want to restore - right?
Any help would be appreciated. I have an unhappy wife. Thank you.

The message she garbled I would assume is that the deletions were to large and that the deleted folder would be bypassed. So all the normal recovery from the trash is simply not possible. There is no Thunderbird magic available unfortunately. So your reduced to using operating system undelete software. I have no idea how that will go, but I just downloaded this http://ntfsundelete.com/download and it does appears to do the job, even if the close text is so pale as to be hard to see.
