How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of 10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of >10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

I will never know if the problem was one of transfer or format compatibility.  The movie would not copy from one external hard diask to another, both attached to my MAC. But when the movie (which was in mpg by the way) was downloaded directly (without any other intermediary) into my external disk from the computer (a PC) where the movie was originated, the file did copy. And when I attached that external hard disk to my MAC, i could see it  using the MPEC streamclip app.
Thank you anyway!

    What files are they? Is it a clone, a TM backup, or simply drag 'n drop?
    If it's the latter, simply drag them back. If something else, please post back with detailed info.

    How do I transfer a specific backup from my external hard drive to my mac book air? I downgraded my mac's software from Mavericks to Mountain Lion because of the computer's limations so I need to transfer all the info I had when Mavericks  and down to Mountain Lion. I already went to the Apple Genius Bar and they helped me downgrade, but I want to transfer information from a specific backup on my external hard drive?

    time machine backup?   Go into the backups.backupdb (time machine) and extract out the specific files, drag them to your desktop etc.
    consider in the future additional backup methods than time machine for easy file extraction.

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • How do i access files from my old hard drive on my mac book pro with a new hard drive?

    I recently got more RAM as well as a new and bigger hard drive installed on my 2008 MacBook Pro. I backed up the files on an external hard drive, and now I want to be able to access those files (ie: my passwords from my old computer hard drive "keychain access") <= I can't remember them for the lyfe of me! I used "time machine" to transfer the information, but now I want to know how to access those files or import them...Please help! I don't want to have to pay $20 to talk to apple support

  • Hello, how would I go about using my time capsule as an external hard drive for my Mac book pro?

    Anybody know if I can use my time capsule as an external hard drive for Mac book pro?

    Just recognise the following.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

    Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
    If you are, then use this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Other Time Machine restore options are here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Note, if recovering from a PowerPC Mac (iMac G5, PowerMac, Mac Mini G4, iBook, Powerbook), this tip is important:
    http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
    Otherwise use the recommended restore option with whatever backup software you used initially.

  • HT2518 i would like to copy files from an external hard drive to my Mac. I intend to do this several times. Does Mac identify this files which have already be copied over or does it re- copy them every time?

    i would like to copy files from an external hard drive to my Mac. I intend to do this several times. Will Mac copy the same files every time or can it segregate and only copy new files from the external hard drive?

    Only copies the file or files you select. The selection will remain unless you change it in case you wish to repeat the same copy to another location. Multiple and different copy operations can be run simultaneously.

  • How can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    how can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    Only AppleTV1 has an internal PATA drive. The largest PATA drive available is 250gb.
    Hacks are available to use the USB port on AppleTV1 to access more storage.
    AppleTV2 does not have an internal drive.
    Why do you need more storage in your AppleTV? iTunes streams video to AppleTV so no need to store it locally.

  • I want to transfer adobe premier elements from my old PC to my new mac book pro, how do i do it?

    I want to transfer adobe premier elements from my old PC to my new mac book pro, how do i do it?
    =============================================
    Moved by moderator from Premiere Pro to Premiere Elements forum.

    photo shop elements 12
    What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
    It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
    Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
    How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
    from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
    What installation files or installation disc do you have?
    You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
    for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
    Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
    Mac computer.
    But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

    How do I see the other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see everyone on mac book pro, but not ipad. I can only see myself and the owner. Please help.
    thanks

    Hello there, missjanellez.
    The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
    Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
    Do any of the following:
    To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
    To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
    To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
    If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How do i retrieve file vault protected files from an external hard disk that used to be my mbp's hard drive? the hard disk got corrupted and will no longer boot. I put it in an enclosure and attempted to copy my files but failed because of FV encryption.

    This external hard disk used to serve as the main drive of my mbp. It got corrupted and the OSX would no longer load. I upgraded to a 500gb hd and used the old hd as an external drive. I tried to copy my files but i could not access them because of the filevault encryption. 110gb of hd space appears as used which means that my files are still in the drive. Is there a way to retrieve these files? thanks

    According to your post, you're using Leopard, so FileVault only encrypts your user folder (unlike Lion). On the mounted external drive, in your user folder, you should see a file called username.sparsebundle, with username being your user name. Double-click that file to open it and it should prompt you for a password. Type in your password and the file will mount as a volume in Finder. You should be able to copy all of your files over.
