Lightroom :: External Lacie Drive Crashed / Can't Find Recent Backup For LR3 Catalog
May 3, 2013I have LR3 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8. My catalog, cache and images were stored on an external Lacie 1TB drive (partitioned so it can be used by a pc and mac). My catalog backup files were saved on another external drive MXTR as well as copies of all my images. The Lacie had started self ejecting while running LR3 and I thought it was maybe a problem with the cable, as it would work fine after rebooting. Yesterday it crashed LR3 and never remounted. I used Disk Utility to try and repair the disk and it instructed me to erase the disk and start over. I was not worried, since my catalog was backed up to another drive. . Another 2 hours to copy my images from the MXTR to the Lacie (again the drive never self ejected during this time either). So now I go to find my most recent backup catalog. The most recent one I could find was dated 2/09/2012. I am baffled. What happened all those times I was backing up? I upgraded to LR3 in 2011, and I don't remember ever telling it to backup to another folder or drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Lost Adjustments When Move Images From Hard Drive To External Drive
Mar 1, 2012I moved images from my harddrive to an external drive.
I opened Lightroom.
Noticed there was a question mark by the photo folder I needed.
I synchronized the folders. Nada.
I rememebered I moved the images (first line ^^)
I re-imported the images from the external drive into Lightroom.
These images (other than one that was marked previously with a blue label) look completely untouched - completely original files - even though I spent hours working on them.
I am glad the images weren't deleted BUT re-doing 600 images will be a MAJOR FAIL if I can't figure out how to import the images with the settings / developments I did beforehand.
Lightroom :: Merge External Drive Images To Desktop Drive Within Same Master Catalog?
Aug 18, 2013I have about 900 raw files on an external drive. I edited those files using my master catalog using a laptop while still travelling. When I got home, I copied the master catalog from the external drive to the desk top, then opened the master catalog on my desktop. I can see the edited images on the external drive. So far so good.
I want to copy (add) the edited images to my desk top. I tried to export the images as a new catalog and then import it into the desire location on my desktop drive. However, LR5 does not allow that. I get this message: "There is nothing new in the catalog you have selected. All of the catalog's photos are up to date in this catalog." Yes, but the edited images are not on my desktop.....
I also tried to Import from the external drive and then Copy the files to the desktop, but then I lose all of the work done in the develop module and the keywords.
I watched Kost's LR 3 video on merging catalogs, but she dodges the question of how to deal with this issue since the "merge" is within the same catalog.I'm using LR5 with Windows 7.

Mar 30, 2014I 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 RelatedLightroom :: Read Images On Laptop But Not On Desktop From External Hard Drive?
Oct 14, 2012I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom images. When I travel I take that external (plus a second identical one for back-up) with me and use my laptop. When I return home, I use that external to view and edit my images on my desktop. Suddenly about 350 images show up as missing or offline when I view that external drive on my desktop. Nothing is seen as offline or missing. What can have happened? I use the same external, the same catalog and do not understand why the images are seen only on one computer and not the other. I am an Apple user but can't see what difference that would make.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Sharing Catalog - Does Housing Catalog And Images On External Hard Drive Work
Jan 15, 2014I will be managing a small portion of a client's overall image workflow by updating their web prescence on a regular basis with new work and retagging/uploading old work. I believe this requires the catalog and the image library to be housed on an external hard drive that can travel between the two of us. We are both working on PC's with LR 5.3.
The workflow would look something like this:
Client downloads new images onto external hard drive and imports into LR "ClientCatalog" is created Flags Picks and Creates a Collection from those Picks.Hard drive is handed off to me where I open "ClientCatalog".Make suggested edits to images add detailed tags and metadata upload to various social media sites and websites return hard drive to client
Is there potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive then there are no worries about the catalog containing all the latest updates. Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive)?

Sep 21, 2011I am just trying to identify and select a group of photos which I can then copy to an external USB drive to have prints made. I know how to identify and select the photos. I have been unable to figure out an easy way to copy all of the selected photos to an external drive.
I can use 'Save As' to copy individual photos, but have been unable to figure out how to simply create a 'tag' and then copy all of the tagged photos to the drive. I can also copy all of the photos to a Media Tray, but cannot figure out how to work with a group of photos rather than just an individual photo.
Photoshop :: Put Bridge Cache On External Hard Drive For Images Being Located There?
Jan 6, 2013I'm on a MacBook Pro retina.
While I have a 500 Gb hard drive, I notice that the Bridge CS 6 cache is getting larger quickly (looking forward to 1 Terabyte SSDs).
I have most of my images on external hard drives, but Bridge CS6's cache seems to be on my computer.
Can I store the Bridge cache locally?
So, if I have 1000 images on hard drive A, the cache for them would be on hard drive A.
And for 100 TIFFS on hard drive B, the cache would be on hard drive B.
And for the 100 most recent TIFFs I keep on my computer's hard drive, the Bridge cache would be on my computer.
It this what checking the box next to "Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible" does or am I misunderstanding this - and this option only puts COPY of the cache files on the external hard drive, but the Bridge cache file on my computer still contains all the images, not matter on which hard drive they'd be?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Back Up To External Drive?
Jan 9, 2013Usually when I import photos into Lightroom I do not right away make a copy to an external drive. So then when I want to update my backup folder on that drive at a later date, I find myself running into the issue of not knowing which photos need to be added to the drive and which are already on it. Is there an easy way to keep the Lighroom folder in sync with an external hard drive so that there are no gaps in images and so that the folder hierarchy is the same both on my computer and backup drive without actually deleting and reinstalling the entire Lighroom folder all over again which would take forever? Basically what is your backup workflow and how do you keep track of everything?
Also is there a way to backup during import so that the images are categorized by year/month (just like in the Lightroom catalog) on the external drive, because usually it just creates a new folder and I have to drag the images into their appropriate folders after the fact.
Lightroom :: Quit Recognizing External Drive
Mar 7, 2013I am running LR4.3 on a Vista 32 bit system. I have a new Toshiba external drive that has been storing my work from lightroom. All has been working great until last night. I was working on photos and all of a sudden a banner came across the top saying photos is missing or offline and then that the folder was missing. The external drive was still plugged in but not lit up. I unplugged it and shut everything down (multiple times) but the drive has disappeared from the selectable drives on the left hand side. I can access the external drive through windows and my photos are there but LR4.3 does not see it. How can I get LR to see the drive again?

Nov 27, 2012My HDD is getting full and I want to be prepared for when it happens.
I want to add an external HDD. From what I have read already, I am supposed to import the photos to my new drive, no problem with that. I also don't want a new catalogue.
Question. Let's say the newly added extenal drive is not connected and i want to search from some pictures, let's say of my one son, Gideon. But I know I have pictures of him on both drives, will LR tell me to connect the external drive also? Does it keep track of where my pictures are in such a way that it can tell me which drive to connect, should it happen that I later on have 2 external drives?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: 4 Loses Data On External Drive
Feb 26, 2013I was working with a client on a move of folders from an internal drive (Mac OSX) to an external drive.He created a dummy folder, via LR, on the external drive so that he could drag and drop from the internal drive to the external.
The folder was created, but the hard drive itself now appears as a FOLDER, not as a drive, under /volumes.
He renamed the drive, from within LR, and all hell broke lose. The name changed in LR, but not on the desktop. We couldn't rename on the desktop as the two names conflicted I'm guessing. We ended up shutting everything down, full reboot and the drive would not unmount. We forced that, closed down and restrted everything. Still had the naming conflict. LR didn't see the folder, so we rnamed in LR and got everything aligned. Or so it seemed.
Dragging folders to the external drive appeared to work OK, but one folder was inadvertently dropped on the folder above the target folder. It was dragged and dropped to the correct location, but then showed 0 images. A check with finder revelaed that the files were in the new location on disk, but LR has lost them.
Today, having moved all files (via D&D) to the new drive, he is trying to reorganize folder, but every D&D on the drive results in the above behavior.
