Windows 7, Lr5.7 how to view existing photos from a hard drive
I copy and paste my photos to a hard drive and then bring them into Lr to library and develop
but the
I just want to view them and deal with them as i like
but it wont let me access them from the harddrive
do they have to be in my c drive or do i have to only view them from my c drive and obviously they are in Lr
Ctrl-O makes no sense to me given the context of your situation, this is File->Open Catalog
I want to trf from want drive to another and i will be doing this
trf? What does that mean?
trf?
trf?
Oh, I think I know, you mean "transfer", don't you?
Can I make a request? We're trying to help you out, could you please help us out? Could you use proper spelling and complete sentences with proper punctuation and proper grammar, almost as if you were actually trying to communicate with us? Thank you!
But again, we have no context here. Transfer what? What point in the process is this transfer going to happen? You need to provide a much more complete explanation of this transfer that you want to accomplish.
upjumps the software
so I close it in 30 seconds it jumps back up and tries to snaffle the
file
There is no upjump function in Lightroom. There is no snaffle function in Lightroom. I have never heard these words, and it would be EXTREMELY helpful if you used more common computer terms to describe whatever it is this is describing.

How do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?
I have saved many photos to an external hard drive for security. I would like to store at least some of them in iCloud so I have direct access from Photos. Is this possible please?
how do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?
Just like you'd do it with iPhoto. Drag the photos or folder of photos into the open Photos Library window or onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
If you have the iCloud Photo Library activated in Photos the new photos will be copied to the online iCloud Photo Library along with the rest of the photos in your library. Remember, with the iCloud Photo Liberty it's all the photos or none. You may have to purchase additional iCloud space to store all of your photos. -
IPhoto 11 - How can I import photos from my hard drive keeping the folders the way they are?
I recently went from PC to Mac. I transferred thousands of photos, many of which I had in albums. When I imported them into iPhotos, it didn't seem to preserve my albums, unless I'm not seeing something. Is there a way to do that?
To begin with we only have words to communicate with on this forum so it is critical that we use the same ones
in iPhoto you have a library which can be views as events, photos, places or faces -- events and photos view show all photo in your library and faces and places show only thos that have faces or places assigned
albums are logical entities that are pointers to the photos in the library and are used for organization
folders are logical entities that hold albums or other folders and also are used for organization
The photos (by default and recommended) are copies into th eiPhoto library with is a SQL database. you ony access the photos using the iPhoto program or the media browser which is in the lower left hand corner of each open/attach/upload window
If you drag a folder of photos onto the open iPhoto window it will import them and create an event names the same as the folder if you drag the foldr of photos to the source pane on the left it will import them into an event and create an album
The biggest problem most windows users have is thinking of managing their photo with a database rather than the old way of managing files with a file manager
iPhoto is much more powerful since you can serach the database on any criteria
Hope this helps
It also would be helpful to watch the iPhoto tutorials under getting started - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/

Hello,
I am trying to move photos from my hard drive to my mac. Mac is using an updated version of Iphoto and is denying the transfer.
How do I get around this? Do I download the order version? or can I not get my photos? If anyone can help please do.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Thanks CarolI copied my photos onto my hard drive from my mac about 3 months ago. I just plugged my hard drive in to put my pictures back onto my mac but it is giving me a message when trying to open up the photos from the hard drive that states
Like I said we need to know exactly what you did
THere are lots of totally different ways to "copy your photos" onto a hard drive
Exactly how did you do that? The correct way to move an iPhoot library is to verify that the hard drive is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) and then to drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to it - reverse to bring it back - just drag it from the EHD to the pictures folder (default location) on your computer
Why are you doing this?
you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database - depending on what has been going on this might resolve things

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB
How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks
If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive?
How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive on my MacBook
How did you use this backup drive? Was this a Time Machine backup, or just an external drive to which you copied files?
I assume your photos were in iPhoto. If you're just talking a bunch of JPEG files you can just drag them wherever you like, otherwise:

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?
Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

How do I copy iTunes from external hard drive to iMac?
How do I copy iTunes from external
Hard drive to iMac?if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list. -
HT1660 How do I run itunes from external Hard drive?
How do I run itunes from external hard drive. I only have ssd on PC and media is too large to fit
You do not.
iTunes, like all programs is installed on the C drive.
You can store the media on another drive.
Assuming you are moving an existing library from another computer:
Move or Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer and put it where you want it.
Install iTunes using the default options.
Hold <SHIFT> while launching iTunes. It will prompt to create a new library or locate an existing library.
Select the option to locate an existing library.
Point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file in the iTunes folder that was moved from the old computer. -
Is it possible to delete photos from the hard drive via a collection?

Yes - via a lesser-known keystroke sequence called "splat delete":
Windows: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Delete
Mac: Cmd-Option-Shift-Delete
*** WARNING: There will be no prompt.

How do I transfer music from old hard drive to Mavericks?
how do I transfer music from old hard drive to Mavericks?
You need only post once.
More information would help. The simplest answer is drag the files from the old drive to the iTunes window when you have the application open, or the Automatically Add To iTunes folder. If you mean the whole library that is a different answer. -
i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?
Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.
