View 2 Replies View RelatedI just switched from a Windows PC to a Mac. I downloaded the Mac software from the cloud and installed it. I have been keeping all my Raw images on a "Passport" external drive for the past couple of years. I've successfully tranfered my catalog to the Mac and I have no problems importing photos to the harddrive on the Mac. I don't want to keep Raw files on my harddrive because of their size. But, when I set LR to import to the external drive I get the message shown below.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to import files from external drive I get message " the disc to which you are importing to is low on space" but I am importing from a different disc and not importing to that disc. The message is a hang up and no matter if I import to my catalogue I still get the same message,
So how do I get rid of this hang up and import files again?
I am trying to import a file of RAW files from one of my external drives, it doesnt appear in the Lr folder panel, however when I try to import it the images are shaded. I have got the same images on another drive in the folders panel, could lightroom see this as suspected copies in which case how do you get around this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI work with an external drive in Lightroom 5. I used to import hundreds of photos into folders and while reviewing them i could delete and individual photo and get a pop up message confirming "delete from disk". If I clicked that the file would be deleted and I could continue reviewing photos. Suddenly now when i delete a photo in the review process I get the first message, "delete from disk" and if I click that I get a second message now that says "The files are on a volume that does not support trash, permanently delete files from disk?" If I click that, my screen goes blank and I have to search where I was in the flow in reviewing the photos. It is impossible to quickly go thorugh and delete photos!!
I do not use preview to delete photos before they are imported, I feel I need to see the full file and then decide if I want to delete it.
I am trying to import photographs from an external hard drive to LR4.1. The photos appear to come over ok and be available as long as the external hard drive is connected. Once it's disconnected, however, the photos are still in LR, but each has a line that says "The file named XXXX is offline or missing." What do I need to do to ensure that the photos are moved to the right place in LR so the entire file will be there, without the external hard drive connected?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Seagate external drive and get an import error wen i try to import images from a memory card. I always import to a new sub directory on the drive. The directory gets created properly and I can see the files get coppied to a temp directory in the directory I specified. The files then get removed and the temp directory is deleted but nothing shows up in the primary directory.
I have verified I can import to other external drive, the other two are WD. I can also import to the internal drive.

I have been storing my LR catalog and all photos on an external drive, which is now full. I got a new external hard drive and would like to move everything over. I started to copy and paste the root folder - which has all the photo folders and the LR catalog folder. If I copy and paste everything outside of LR and open the catalog in the new location, will LR recognize the photos in the new location?
I also read that the catalog could be moved to the new external hard drive (with LR closed) and the photos moved within LR by creating the root folder on the new and dragging and dropping each folder in Library mode.
I have many photos on my laptop and have a catalog set up through Lightroom 3.5. I decided the best way to store the photos is to keep them on an external hard drive so that I may work on them easily from any computer on my network. (laptop is frequently shut off) Is there a way to maintain /import/export/ edit the current catalog so that it works with the photos on the external drive? I would really hate to have to do the catalog with all the keywords all over again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt seems that a powerful tool like Lightroom (on top of a powerful Adobe suite) should allow a developer to import a client's catalog from Photoshop Elements on an external hard drive. Everything I've read in the support and forums indicate I need to have Photoshop Elements installed on my own machine, and that reading off a network drive is not possible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do not want my C drive involved with LR except for the catalog.
What I try to do is create a folder on my D drive and copy files from my CF card to a folder on the D drive. On import I select the newly created folder and import from there. Somehow LR does not want my photos on the D drive but on the C drive.
I cannot find a way to do this which is important because my C drive is under stress with Windows 7 64 and I don't have a lot of room to spare.
I know this is probably very basic but every time I create a folder on the D drive and import the photos are actually in My Pictures folder on the C drive.

this lacie 120gig hd has its own formatting software acording to the lacie.com site.
It will create 32 gig partions in win98se
My question is are these going to be separate disc drives d, e, f, etc
