    If you have the status bar turned on in the Finder, you can view it there when you select the disk.
    Otherwise, Get Info on the external.

    Did you format the external disk on Windows? If you did this, probably the external disk is formatted in NTFS. OS X can't write on this format, so it's normal that it doesn't allow you to copy the files.
    In this case, you have three possibilities:
    1. Install Paragon NTFS. This program allows you to write on NTFS partitions.
    2. Copy the hard drive content to your internal disk and format the external disk with Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do it only if you are going to use the external disk only with OS X.
    3. The same as the last one but formatting it with exFAT. This filesystem is compatible with Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8) and OS X (10.6.5 and newer), so you can write and read files on external disks formatted with it on Windows and OS X, but you may have problems on Linux

  • My Mac computer hard drive is nearly full so I want to know if I can keep my PSE 11 Organiser as the place where I import and organise and can I then create file folder on my External Hard Drive to keep the files

    Also wondering when I am editing my photos and open the editor from the Organiser, will be edits take longer if my photo files are saved to an external hard drive.

    Elements will work with images stored on an external hard drive. Keep it connected to the same port.
    Saving images may be slower (ehd's usually have a slower write speed) but if you keep the program on the internal drive, performance should be the same.

  • Iphoto 11 does not recognise iphoto 9 library stored on external hard drive

    Hi anyone,
    Been tormented for a full week now where I have "lost" nearly 100Gb of phots. It is driving me insane! I have tried all the possible remedies - the Comd Option functions on iphoto start up, the rebuild, the rebuild on iphot manager, changing the "show package contents" options - but nothing.
    The problem. I recently upgraded my mac and with it the software - going from iphoto 09 to iphoto 11.  I had been using a smaller library (15Gb) stored on my Mac which migrated fine. The issue was when I tried to connect into my external library that things went haywire.  The photographs on the external harddrive show as black squares on iphoto 11, sometimes it briefly flashes the underneath image, but none of them are able to open. The migrated images are fine.
    I've tried to then create copies of my external hard drive library  but even when I play around with these copies the problem persists. I am terrified that I've corrupted the parent. The external library still opens fine on my old machine on iphoto 09. When I look at "show package contents" under preview on the iphoto 11 mac, the images come up fine so I know they are (at least the majority, there seems to be some phots missing!). 
    I am at the very limit of my technical ability and sanity. I don't have a time machine backup, my parent library isn't fully backed up so if I revert back to a stored master I will lose a couple of months of photos which included last summers Olympics.
    The other threads don't seem to cover this exact problem - has anyone else suffered? Any remedies would be gratefully appreciated and would move me down the stress ladder by at least a couple of rungs. 
    Kind regards,
    John

    Well here's the first problem:
    The drive is in MS-DOS (FAT) format (a 500Gb Lacie).
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. So, get the Library onto an appropriately formatted disk.
    If you're thinking of reformatting that disk, remember that doing so will erase it, and so make sure you back it up first.
    I would try open the Library from an appropriately formatted disk. If the issues persist them try the rebuild with Library Manager again.

  • Sharing a lightroom catalog - Does housing the catalog and images on an external hard drive work?

    I 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. Can anyone fill me in on potential problems I might have overlooked? Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive) that you would suggest?

    I ran into this problem with my own catalog a few weeks ago. I plugged my external hard drive into a different USB and everything was gone.
    Not gone, just mis-addressed. It can be re-addressed as necessary. I believe it is enough on MacOs, to name the drive. On Windows, the details vary by OS version (Google for instructions) but this is for Win7:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
    and it is a good idea to assign a drive letter quite a bit later in the alphabet, to restrict the chance of ever finding that letter already taken. For example, it could be X: for external drive, or P: for plug-in drive, or whatever makes sense to you...
    After doing this, on re-starting Lightroom and opening the Catalog, the images will at first go offline (previously used location not found). To get them back online, it will be necessary to re-browse the parent folder for all your image folders, to reflect its new location under the new drive reference. That done, the Catalog location info for all the images and subfolders located under that parent folder, will be updated automatically. If this parent is not currently showing in the LR Folders list, you can right-click and choose "Show Parent". LR's display then reorganises to reflect this actual hierarchy.

  • HT1284 Do I need to reformat my external hard drive before I backup to it?  It shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.

    I am new to Imac.  I want to use an external hard drive to backup to but the drive shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.  Do I need to reformat it and, if so How?  Thanks

    What is the external disk?
    Is it new?  If so, maybe it has a Windows file system on it (FAT, exFAT, or NTFS).  If so then reformat to "HFS+ Journaled".
    What backup utility are you using?  TimeMachine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, etc...?  If the external is suppose to be bootable because you are using a cloning backup (CCC or SuperDuper), then it is also important that the disk partition table be GUID.
    You can find out this information via Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the disk (not volume on the disk) and the partition time will be shown at the botton of the window.   Now Select the volume and it will tell you how the file system on the disk is formatted.
    Also do you want to leave room for a recovery partition on the external disk?  Then repartition it with a small (2GB) partition that can hold a bootable recovery partition that you can setup via the Apple "Recovery Disk Assistant" which can be downloaded from Apple.

  • Where can I find the files using up my external hard drive?

    I have a 1TB iMac and have two external hard drives attached to keep the computer free of hard drive use for two reasons: Disk 1-is a 250GB hard drive I have dedicated to perform Time Machine backups of my home folder. Disk 2-is a smaller 120GB hard drive I keep my compete iTunes library of music in case the computer has a malfunction, so all the work I've done putting the library together will be secure. Here's the thing...the iMac's hard drive is hardly used, just as I want containing about 150GB total.  Meanwhile, the Time Machine disk is nearly full with  225GB used, and just 25GB remainibg. The hard drive with the iTunes files looks pretty good too using about 70GB of it's 120GB.  I believe Time Machine is in no way, backups the iTunes library just the iMac.
    How can I figure out where the additional space is getting used up on that disk?  I do have a couple of extra logins I use for alternate use such as a different iPhoto library I want kept seperate from mine, but I did not think the backup was saving those files as they are not even under the Time Machine setup.
    Can anyone advise why the backup is larger than the use of the computer?  I knew when I dedicated a smaller hard drive to back up a larger one that it was possible the backup drive would get too full, but I can figure out what's happening. I've erased the Time Machine disk and allowed it do a completlely new backup and again, it's always sigificantly larger.
    Thanks!

    Okay...I have some more information and perhaps we are getting closer.  On the 250GB, first I went into that disk and used Disk Utilty to re-format it once using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then a second time, zeroing it out. I did a screen shot to review if needed, and both times it looked perfect...249GB available.  Then I went into the Time Machine preferences to get ready to backup again, and it had not excluded the other external 120GB with iTunes so I excluded it. I may has previously, never noticed in that screen that it takes a bit of time for it to calculate the information to save.  I may have just clicked on it quickly without reviewing it first.  Today I did, and gave it time to calculate.  At one point the actual 250GB itself, showed up and I excluded it too like the 120GB.  After it finished, the calculations are still it wrong - claiming it has a 200GB backup when the iMac either contains 150GB (based on when I do Get Info) on it or from OmniDisk which calculated about 100GB.  I have not allowed Time Machine to do a backup yet, until this discrepancy can be clear.
    One thing that I thought I had seen or reviewed previous on the Time Machine settings was my home folder - I could be wrong but wanted to mention that.  Another little tidbit to ponder an well is that I have a files of icons that I use for the Hard Disks, and a few folders where I Get Info on the Icon and on the destination and just cut and paste.  I did that today to the 250GB after zeroing, but while I was in the Time Machine settings the change was deleted and neither the manufactures icon was there nor mine, and it has the default blue-green one the software uses.  I know, because my sister's is that way on her system-unchanged.
    Feedback?

  • I have a CS6 Disc I purchased. It does not seem to fit correctly in my external hard drive so I can download the software. Is a special kind of external hard drive required. I have a MAC Book Pro Yosemite version.

  • Why do I get an error message 'write access not granted' when I try to copy paste jpegs from my folder on desktop to an external hard drive/(Transcend)pendrive

    This is a new problem. I transferred some images from my Nikon camera via image capture but converted my raw files to jpegs in the Nikon View nx 2 software and saved them in a new folder on my desktop. I use a 2010 MBP that has OS10.9.5 fully updated. When i tried copying and pasting the jpegs to an external pen drive I got an error message saying the jpg (the number) could not be saved as write access is not granted. I thought the pen drive may be full. So I attached an external hard drive.  got the same message. I then opened the same jpeg in photoshop cc and tried saving it as png on the hard drive, got the same message. Was unable to handover the photographs to my client. Was hugely embarrassed. Pl let me know if there is a way out of this and if its a Mac OSX issue? Thanks.

    right click on the jpeg (the other mouse button then you use to click with) or on trackpad, hold down control and click, in the menu that pops up, click on "get info" next, if the box labeled "locked" is checked, uncheck it. Down at the bottom, there should be a box with your user name, "staff" and "everyone". to the right of this are options to change these you may need to click the small padlock icon and enter in your password. then change all of the permissions to read and write.

  • Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

    Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
    The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
    For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
    I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

    The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
    I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
    I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
    All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
    (iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

  • Does apple needs to make a external hard drive?

    me personally. i think if apple would make a external hard drive or make the ipad/iphone/ipod compatible with a third party hard drive i wouldnt have a need for a computer the apple system would be a all in one. Im going to get a ipad 2 but was interested to see if any one else was interested in this. thank you

    I don't quite understand the original post. The iPad already has internal storage, using flash memory. What do you believe you need the hard drive for? As the other poster pointed out, the hard drive is not what you initialize the iPad with - you still need an actual computer. Some kind of external drive wouldn't help you.
