how do i retrieve data from my external hard drive?

If your hard drive can be detected and shows up as a drive letter in my computer but you can't access your files,then you can recover your data off it with data recovery software easily.This way is the easiest and the most inexpensive way to recover your data.If you bring it to a computer repair shop that is available for data recovery servise,they will cost you $500-1000 or more.Hmm, a lot of money.
I managed to recover data from crashed hard drive with Tenorshare Data Recovery.If needed,you can download it and scan your hard drive for free to preview whether your data can be recovered.It will show you thumbnails for recoverable pictures.

    Stop using the drive immediately, un plug it.

  • How do I transfer data from one external hard drive to another larger one?

    I hope I am posting in the logical area for this topic. I have an external hard drive connected to my eMac. My iTunes library and some backup files reside on this hard drive. I am contemplating purchasing another, larger external hard drive so that I can archive more data--more music and some photos. How do I transfer my data from the first drive to the second one, and is this a risky move? (I have a lot of music!)

    Hello, 
    Take a look at SuperDuper (link). This 'clones' any drive across to another; it should suit your needs just fine.
    Firewire drives with an Oxford chipset are recommended for PowerPC Macs (like the eMac and iBook) as you can boot the Mac from one to recover the system if the internal drive suffers any issues.

  • HT3500 how do you transfer data from an external hard drive to a mac time capsule

    I am trying to use my Mac Time Capsule as a wireless external hard drive for my MacBook Pro, so how do I transfer the data from a toshiba external hard drive, to my Mac Time Capsule?

    Drag and drop or copy and paste files just as you would do with any normal Finder operation.
    The Time Capsule is located under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and double click the folder that appears representing the drive....named Data....unless you have changed the name......to mount the drive on the desktop.
    Drag/drop or copy/paste files to the icon on the desktop or to the open window there.

  • Retrieving data from an external hard drive.... help!

    Last night I backed up my macbook pro to a firelite external hard drive...this morning my mac was stuck in start up (folder with ? mark)
    I unfortunately plugged my fire lite hard drive back in thinking I was going to reinstall everything from that (not realising the hard drive was dead) I selected the back up but of course it wouldn't work. I came out of reinstall but couldn't eject the harddrive so unplugged it and got the devise removal sign.
    I do not have another mac only a PC and my harddrive isn't a normal usb shape ...it has a --> an wider curved shape at one ends which of course fitted my mac. Is there an adapter for this so I can plug into my PC and check my work is still on there or is there no way to read it?

    The connection port on your FireLite drive doesn't look like a USB port because it isn't a USB port — it's a FireWire port. There is no adapter that will enable you to connect it to a PC that doesn't have such a port. If you wanted to, you could add one to your PC for very little cost. But Daddy Paycheck's recommended approach to solving your problem is a much better option, because the PC wouldn't be able to read a Mac-formated external drive anyway.

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • How do I input songs from my external hard drive (taken from a PC) and transfer them to my Mac?

    How do I input songs from my external hard drive, taken from a PC, to a Mac?

    Just a few song tracks, or your whole library?  If just a few tracks, drag them from the drive to the open iTunes library window or playlist window.  If your whole library drag the whole iTunes folder to your computer.  Hold down the option key while starting and guide it to the library.itl file in that folder.  If you need to merge libraries post back because that's a much longer post.

  • How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
     Cheers, Tom
