Can I transfer single files both ways from external usb drive to internal ssd drive?

I just installed an ssd 240g in a mac pro and put the old 500 hd to the usb port for backup . how can I access individual files from the external storage to the internal ? I can sign in only one a HD at a time now.

My guess is that you cloned the hard drive to the SSD, correct? In that case you can still view both drives at a time. Just plug in your external hard drive, open Finder, and look for it on the left-hand side of the window (called the sidebar). Click on it once you have found it, and you should be good to go!

  • How can I transfer my files and documents from external hard drive to my new MacBook Air?

    I recently bought a new MacBook Air and I would like to transfer my files and documents which I already saved in my external hard drive to this new mac. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do it so far. I tried to drag some files but the rest of the documents cant be transferred.
    I appreciate it if anyone could help me in thsi regard.

    Describe exactly what you did when it failed and the error message you received that told you it failed. Dragging and dropping files from one drive to another will work. Having said that  however, you need to be aware that trying to copy items with the same name will result in a warning dialog box offering several different options including canceling.
    To better help you it would also be helpful to know about the external drive. Did you use TimeMachine to back up to that external drive? Did you copy files from another computer to the drive?

  • What's GPIB command can transfer state file to E5062A from external comtrol(PC)

    Deal All
    so far, I can use MMEM:TRAN? "D:A.STA" to read the state file on my PC. and now I have two questions.
    1. how to save this state file in my PC?
    2. what's GPIB command can transfer this state file to E5062A from PC?
    about question 2 : I was read E5061-90042.pdf, and read sample program of page 140, and try MMEM:TRAN this command. but still fail.
    please advance
    Best Regards

    You could just save the read data straight to a text file.  That would be the simplest way.

  • Can I "transfer" the files and tags from my old macbook to a new macbook pro?

    My macbook Is completely dead.Ive had my old macbook since 2009. This is will soon be my 3rd time buying a new charger for it because it is not charging. Ive given up today and I will instead buy a new mac. I want to buy a macbook pro,  but I dont know if I  can  move the important files fromthe old macbook to the ew one. CAN I DO THIS?

    If it's really "completely dead" you would need to remove its hard disk and install it in its own enclosure.
    Removing the disk drive is not particularly difficult. USB hard disk enclosures are very inexpensive; often less than $10. Write back if you require recommendations.
    If it's not really completely dead, but can run if it's connected to power, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode.

  • I cannot boot my 2012 Macbook Air 13" from external USB 2.0/3.0 drive.

    I just purchased a new 2012 MacBook Air 13" with 8GB ram and 256Gb SSD. I have clones of my 2011 MBA drive made with Superduper on both a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 external drives. The USB 2.0 drive enclosure contains the OWC Aura 256GB 6G SSD that used to be the internal drive for my 2011 MBA.
    I cannot boot my new 2012 MBA from either external drive. When I try to do so, the MBA displays shows a gray circle with a line through it.
    I can boot my MacBook Pro 2010 and 2007 Mac Pro just fine with either USB external drive. So, it must be something up with compatibility with the new 2012 MBA. All of my Macs are running 10.7.4 with all of the latest upgrades available as of 6/24/12.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.
    Bud James

    I have a drive I had been using in a 2007 MacBook that I would like to "upgrade" to a compatible version of 10.7.4 (build 11E2705), but I am having trouble finding a way to get the version of the OS on the drive without affecting the data on the drive.
    I had hoped that booting from the Recovery partion on the SSD would allow me to "Reinstall 10.7" to get a compatible version, but the drive still can not boot the 2012 MacBook Air.
    I may try cloning next, moving directories I want to keep to the root level of the target drive, but I wish there was an easier way to "refresh" the install of the OS to a newer version for new hardware.
    I also need to find a way to "refresh" the USB drive I have for installing 10.7, to make sure it has the ability to boot new hardware, since the original 10.7.4 USB install clone does not boot the newest laptops.

  • How do I move all my 25,000 Lightroom 5 images from an external HD to an internal (ssd) drive on a mac?

    I have all my Lightroom (LR) image folders on an external hard drive which is getting full and was always too slow in use.
    I want to keep my existing LR catalogue but move ALL the images, previews etc onto my laptop with nice fast ssd.
    How??
    Any suggestions?
    This should be really basic information but I've trawled through pages and pages of comments, tutorials, videos, books but damned if I can see a clear relevant explanation, anywhere!
    I have copied the the whole folder containing everything to my laptop drive.
    But when I open LR I get no option to locate images, folder etc.
    When I open the new folder on my laptop drive I can see all the contents but .lrcat items are not selectable.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Brilliant ssprengel!!
    Sorry for slow reply -hectic.
    Your suggestion: Double-click the catalogname.lrcat file to open it in LR.
    Perfect, this was THE vital piece of information that I needed!
    I couldn’t find this anywhere -or at least failed to see it if I did…
    Could authors please, please include this absolutely vital information in their LR guides.
    I now have my complete image library working on my laptop -bliss.
    It IS faster.
    How much I don’t know yet until I get stuck into my next editing task...
    Many thanks

  • How can I transfer "Pages" files  from my IPad to my Mac?

    How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

    Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
    The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
    Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

  • How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

    how can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

    Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
    The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
    If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
    You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same  Apple ID.

    Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.
