reconnecting offline images to an external HD
Many of my images have the "offline" icon. If I click "Locate referenced files I get the following pop-up..
If I put this image file number into Spotlight I get..
The images exists on my "photo masters," which is the external HD my referenced images are directed to when downloaded. The image is also on my "photo back up" external HD, which is a back up of my photo masters.
I think the issue has risen from my adding new external HD's to replace those that were full. I would transfer images from the old HD to a new one and name the new HD the same as the old one, e.g. "photo masters."
I now have many valuable images that I cannot use because of this connection issue. I'm hoping that some kind person will tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks, jp
