100% failure on file transfers from attached External HD.

Was working perfect until this week. Now I cannot download any files from my Western Digital to my attached Imac. I have reset the airport utility. Sorry if this is a repost, but I looked and couldn't find exactly my problem thanks!

I think you are going to have to recovery the complete iPhoto database from Time Machine and then use iPhoto on the recovered database to get the photos you want.

  • Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!

    I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
    Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash).  But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
    Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!

    How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?

    Hi Irosenth
    Thanks for the answer. I am not sure I understand your question though.
    We have a collection of reader enabled pdfs that the user can open in a webbrowsercomponent in a .Net winform.
    We used to (Reader 9.4 and before) replace the Readers "save pdf" button with our own "save pdf" button that
    - saves the pdf
    - exports its data as xml
    - send a message to the .Net winform that the pdf has been saved.
    We implemented our own save button and its functions using a plug-in.
    Now I can't find our "save pdf" button in Reader X. That is my problem.
    So I try to create a new toolbar and place our "save pdf" on this new toolbar as you adviced me.
    I expect the toolbar to show up in the Tools pane in the webbrowser component in Reader X.
    But it doesn't. There is no Tools pane when I open the PDF in the webbrowser.
    (btw all the keyboard shortcuts we have created in the plugin (ie CTRL, ALT, L) works fine - so the plugin generally works).
    When I couldn't find my toolbar with its button in the webrowser, I tried to open one of the reader enabled pdfs in the Reader X as a standalone application.
    This was just as a test to see if it worked any different from the browser plugin. It is not part of our use case.
    But I noticed that in the standalone Reader X I do have a Tools pane, and my new toolbar but no "save pdf" button.
    This is how it looked with Reader 9.4 and before:
    OK the red text in the screenshot is quite difficult to read. It says (from above)
    "We have replaced the Readers save button with our own save button in the plugin.
    This is the (selvcreated save) button I miss in Reader X"
    "This is a Reader enabled PDF shown in a webbrowser component in a .Net Winform"
    "The users only have the Reader, not Acrobat"
    Best regards

  • I cannot Open EXCEL files transferred from my old HP laptop.

    I am unable to open EXCEL files transferred from my HP LapTop. How to resolve?

    The forum for MBP:
    MacBook Pro
    As for Excel, checked microsoft office community?
    Maybe if you try export first....?
    Vista has its own ownership permission flags. Maybe if you modify the file or a copy first, and then copy.

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

    I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

  • The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

    Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Itunes doesn't sync music that was transferred from an external hard drive

    I transferred a song from an external hard drive onto itunes on my laptop. The song plays through itunes on my laptop after I've disconnected the external hard drive, but it won't sync the song to my iPhone. I have a lot of music on that ext. HD and I'd like to listen to it on my iPhone.

    Hi, Alex 58. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try opening iTunes with the external drive connected and sync the music over to the iPhone.  If all media is located on the external drive, iTunes will not sync the requested media to the device without the drive connected.  You may need to remove the sync music preference and reapply it for the media to transfer.

  • File transfers from iMac to Windows Share on another computer. Very slow!

    Hopefully someone has some ideas on how best to troubleshoot this.
    I have an iMac and a Windows 2003 File Server.
    The iMac sits on a gigabit switch with another computer, an XP machine and the 2003 File Server sits on another gigabit switch.
    The problem I'm having is that transfers from the iMac to the 2003 File Server are very slow whereas from the XP machine on the same switch they are fast.
    Any ideas on how to test this or how I might fix the problem?
    The Network interface itself is set to:
    1000baseT
    full-duplex
    MTU: standard (1500)
    I've tried it with both full-duplex and full-duplex (flow control).
    The directory I'm transfering is a 7.56gb directory and it's taking over an hour to transfer.
    Thanks

    This doesn't quite work at all. I can understand for OSX to be serving the files the need too change /etc/smb.conf, however, my OSX machine doesn't serve any files, thus the smb service is offline. I have tried adding that tag to my fileserver using samba (its a linux nas box) and it still is slow as ****. I know it works with tiger because one of my sisters is using a macbook on tiger and is able to connect wirelesssly to it and download files as fast as my MBP downloads through ethernet (mine is leopard). My other sister has the exact same configuratino of macbook, however hers is leopard like mine and it moves crazy slow. I know this is the reason why apple pedaled back about network drive time machine because they realized the broke something so I'm giving them the beneffit of the dooubt. If 10.5.2 rolls around and I don't see improvement I think i'll just go back to tiger...

  • Easier file transfers from PC to Mac with Bluetooth

    After trying in vain to get a network connection between my PC and Mac (lots of problems I don't need to get into), I realized I could use a spare DLink Bluetooth adapter on my PC to connect to my bluetooth-enabled MacBook Pro.
    I am now able to send files back and forth between the computers, but it's a tedious process.
    Is there anyway with Bluetooth to create a shared visible folder on one of the computers and to do file transfers by dragging and dropping?

  • Files transferred from external hard drive (backed up from pc) are locked. Can't unlock & can't delete them from Mac now.

    I just picked up a new Mac and have been trying to transfer files backed up to an external hard drive from a PC. I was able to transfer some of the files without issue, but most of the files show that they are locked. Now that they are on the Mac I can't unlock or delete them.

  • File transfers from external to mac osx laptop

    I accedently deleted an albulm in Iphoto and it is on my WD external drive which was backed up several days before this occured however I had 2 libraries the album was in Library 1 and I do not want all of the photos just the albulm and I have all my photos I want in Library 2 is there a way to just transfer that item. Also I had to import all photos from Librbary 1 into Library 2 then I deleted L1 is there a way to go into my external and find out how many phots were in the L2 before I added more

    I think you are going to have to recovery the complete iPhoto database from Time Machine and then use iPhoto on the recovered database to get the photos you want.

  • How do I get QuickTime .mov files transferred from my Mac onto my PC to play?

    I recently transferred a bunch of QuickTime videos from my Mac to my PC using an external hard drive. When I tried to open to files on my PC, the files were recognized as QuickTime files but they would not play. It said the files were of a type that quicktime does not understand. Do I need some sort of Mac to PC file converter?

    Maybe this article will help.

  • How to remove file vault from an external drive

    I had an external drive connected to a mac with file vault enabled. I want to move this drive to my NAS storage
    unit. In order to use the drive on NAS storage I need to "de-crypt" the data. Is there a way to do this?
    Right now I have the drive attached to a mac which is not using file vault. By using the password
    I can access the drive.
    Thanks!
