Can you transfer files from a pc to an external hard drive and then onto an Ipad

It is a seagate hard drive

You can use File Sharing in iTune to copy files over.

    More information would help. How is the external connected? Does the external appear on your Desktop? Has the external been formatted for a Mac? What method do you use to transfer files? When you try to move a file to the external, what does happen?

  • I cannot transfer files from my MacBook to my external hard drive anymore.

    I cannot transfer files from my MacBook to my external hard drive anymore. The device responds with error-36 about documents being unreadable and unwritable. Previously the device worked fine.
    External Hard Drive
    I have an imation Apollo II 2.5" Portable HDD 320GB.
    163 GB available.
    Macbook
    Model Name: MacBook Finder Version 10.6.8

    It still doesn't seem to work.
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “POLITICS COMPARATIVE POLITICS IN GLOBAL WORLD” can’t be read or written.

  • Help! I can't move files from my MacBook to my external hard drive!

    Hey all..
    I can't move files from my MacBook to my 40GB hard drive! Whenever i try to do that the com will reply that i can't move the files because the hard drive cannot be modified. This never happened before and how can it be solved?
    Appreciate all answers thanks..

    What filesystem is your external hard drive formatted as?
    You can check this with the program called Disk Utility.
    My guess is that it is formatted as NTFS, the default filesystem for windows XP. Mac OS X only supports read-only access to NTFS-formatted drives.
    Reformatting, and with it erasing everything on your drive, to another filesystem would be a solution if this is the case.
    Google recently released MacFUSE which should allow read-write support to ntfs-drives. Not recommended for the un*x-unexperienced, though.

  • I can't import files from my mac to my external hard drive on a mac. Works on Windows

    I used OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I bought an External Hard Drive Several Years Ago. I can't import files on it, just read it. In Windows i can read and write it. I want to upgrade my OS X Mountain Lion to OS X Mavericks. I am afraid that i will lose all of my files. Please help

    That is because the external drive you are using is formatted in the Windows NTFS format, which is fine for Windows.
    OS X can READ files from that format but can NOT Write to that format. If you want to use that external drive with both Windows and Mac OS X you will need to reformat it in a format that both Windows and OS X can Read from and Write to.
    Those would be FAT32, in OSX it is called MS-DOS (FAT), or exFAT. You do that formatting in either OS X Disk Utility or Windows Disk Management.

  • How can I drag files from my macbook to my external hard drive?

    Hi! I can't seem to drag files to my hard drive using my macbook pro? How can I do that?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What happens when you try to drag a file to the external drive? If it just doesn't copy, it's because the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in NTFS hard drives. There are some solutions:
    1. Buy a third-party application like Paragon NTFS, which will allow you to write in your external drive.
    2. Format the external drive with exFAT or FAT32, so you will be able to use the external drive with PCs and Macs.
    If you choose the last one, copy all the data from the external drive to a Mac or PC before erasing the disk. I recommend you to use exFAT because it hasn't got the limitation of files bigger than 4 GB, so you have to format the external drive on a PC. That's because, if you do it in the Mac, PCs won't recognize it

  • I cannot get files from my desktop to my external hard drive

    Does anyone have any information on why my external hard drive would not be allowing me to move files from my computer to my external hard drive?  I have a Seagate Free Agent external hard drive.  It has 1TB of space that is no where near being used.  It will show up on the desktop when I plug it in, but i cannot move anything to it.  Also, I have a few movies on the external hard drive that I cannot view for some reason.  Does anyone have any input on why that could be?  It gives me the pop up window that says "a required codec isn't available."  Any onformation will be very helpful.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop

    Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop hard drive

    Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
    It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch .  iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
    If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Downloading files from PC to Mac via external hard drive

    I have already downloaded the files from my PC to an external hard drive. I have connected that external hard drive to my iMac and am attempting to bring those files onto my iMac, but don't know how. Can anyone help? I have it connected, but it seems to be showing up at my Time Machine Backup and I can locate any of the files from my PC.

    but it seems to be showing up at my Time Machine Backup and I can locate any of the files from my PC
    I am not sure if I understand that one correctly.
    Does your external harddisk comes up as a Time Machine backup in OSX ?
    Or is Time Machine asking if you want to use that external harddisk for backup ?
