Bought new Mac Retina; how do I get CS 5 on it; bought external hard drive but get error msg 15?

Hi there,
I was able to format the Toshiba hard drive on my old Mac and copy the Adobe Suite onto it. I followed instructions to format the hard drive to the Retina Mac through Disk Utility, but I still can see the external drive on the new Mac.
Any suggestions…?

I recently got my long desired MAC, after my laptop crashed. Is there anyway to get all of the music that I have already invested in, in iTunes, on my new Mac? I thought that it had been saved to an external hard drive, but there were only photographs.

I recently got my long desired MAC, after a laptop died over a year ago. Isn't there someway to get all of the music and movies that I've already invested in, off of iTunes? Don't they have a record of my purchases, that could be downloaded to this new computer? I thought I had it on an external hard drive, after a friend tried to save my itunes and photographs, but there are only photographs on the hard drive..... Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Hello kc9agz,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Did you back up your bookmarks before you moved to the new computer? You can find more information about backing up and restoring bookmarks in this article.

On a Mac Pro how to move lightroom 5 photos to My Book external hard drive?

I have a Mac Pro with a Western Digital (My Book) external hard drive for back-up. The external will back-up everything except what is in Lightroom 5. Need to know how to make the transfer in order to free up space in Light room 5. Please provide assistance. Dave

Move the files to wherever you want using your operating system, then reconnect in Lightroom via: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

New mac won't allow me to add files to my old external hard drives.

Hi there,
I've been trying my hardest to figure out how to do this without having to delete all of my files and reformatting my external HD, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords when I search for solutions?
Anyway...
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, and have since been unable to transfer any files (photos/video/documents) from this new Mac, to any external HD's (that worked fine on my previous Mac as well as other Macs).
However, I am able to drag files from the external HD to my mac, and transferring files to a small USB works without an issue.
How do I fix this, without deleting/wiping the external HD so I can transfer files onto it?
Thanks so much for any help!

How can I recover file that are on my external hard drive but not showing up on mac?

I have copied pictures and home videos from an old hard drive to my newer, larger hard drive. And now, i can't see any of the videos when i open my Seagate 4TB BackUp Plus drive on my mac. Someone Plz save me!!!!!

Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities.
Check format for the Seagate.
I'm guessing you didn't format the drive for Mac.
You might need to reformat. This will erase all contents on the drive. After reformatting, go back to the old drive and copy over the files again.
Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?

Hello Forum Members,
I figured it out. You have to select the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?
