Can not copie folder to external harddrive

Hello guys,
I have a problem, for some reason i can not copie an folder to my external harddrive. I can copie for example an musik file from the folder to my harddrive but not the folder itself. I checked if i have read/write permissions on both of them and i have the permissions. For some reason i get an message that i do not have the right access permissions or read permissions to copie my folder even as i am loged in as admin.
I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.

Well I just had this same problem and figured out the solution. Looks like the ownership of my .Trash folder was changed somehow.
Open Terminal.app and type the following
ls -la
This should show you a list of your home directory. At the top you should see something like the following
drwx------ 2 (short username) staff 68 21 Aug 22:26 .Trash
where short username is your username.
If it is something different like admin or root or something else type the following
sudo chown -R (your usernam) .Trash
insert your short username without the brackets where it shows (your username)
that should do the trick.

Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

I try to export my slideshow in iphoto, but get a "OSS-mistake". It is a large slideshow, but I cannot find the size of it, how do I do that? How can I export to an external harddrive?

How much free space on your HD?
What format is the external?
You can choose the destination of any export in the second screen of the export dialogue.

Can not remove ? from external hard drive folder in LR5 & can't link smart preview & original pic

I have LR5 and a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.5 I have an external hard drive that when I imported photos from my cameras memory card I selected the hard drive as the source to move the pictures to. I forgot if I clicked ADD, MOVE, or COPY.
In the library mode in LR5 the external hard drive shows up under folders, but has a question mark on every folder on the external hard drive. I control clicked on the question mark for the first folder (the parent folder?) and choose “Find missing folder”. I then navigated to the external hard drive and clicked on that same folder, then clicked choose. Nothing happened. I tried this same method with individual folders and the same, I control click on the folder with a question mark, navigate to the same folder on the hard drive, click on it (I tried both just clicking on the folder so it was highlighted and actually opening the folder), and select choose, the question marks remain.
1. How do I link the two to remove the question mark?
Second question, possibly related. I have a collection in the library mode that has only previews, the originals were added to the same external hard drive as above. When I navigate to the hard drive via my finder (not in LR5), the originals are there. When I am in the library mode in LR5, in this collection, and click on the preview square in the top right corner of an individual picture in that collection, it says “image can be edited using its smart preview but the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it".
The original location of it shows below this statement and is correct; it shows the path to the external hard drive and the folder where the original is contained that I mentioned previously. I navigate to that picture on the external hard drive and select it. I get another notice box pop up that says “the file is associated with another photo in the catalog. Each file can only be associated with one photo.” I select show in library and it brings me right back to the image that is a smart preview only. I am stuck in this loop and cant figure out how to associate the original on the external hard drive with the smart preview in LR5.
1. I have the originals still on my camera memory card, do I import again? I am afraid I will loose all my edits.
I hope I gave you the right info. Every link I find to answer this question is related but not quite the same, any link you know of is apreciated. Thanks!

Have you ever re-named files using duplicate file names e.g. names that have been used previously?
See if this link helps to locate missing files and near posibilities:

Is there an ORGANIZER for my photos which I can seperatly store on an external harddrive?

Is there an ORGANIZER for my photos which I can separately store on an external hard drive?
? portable photo organizer

ayanda2014 a écrit:
Okay, this is it. I only need the organizer and catalogue (as a kind of archive) separately. I do not want to work with and shop the pictures. Just want to store and find the pics.
I hope you understand what is in the catalog. Pardon me if you already know, but other readers might be misled by this discussion.
A catalog is just like the catalog booklet which holds all the information about the paintings in a museum. A list of all the paintings, their location in the museum, their size, their authors and some history. Plus small images (thumbnails) to show the image and many indexes, by title, author or painting type.
The catalog does not contain the images, only useful information to find paintings and know what is useful about them.
The catalog can be moved: you can take it at home with you. The informations are still valid when you move the catalog.
With the organizer (it's the same with Ligthtroom), you can move or copy the catalog, which is a folder containing the database and associated files and subfolders.
To use the Elements catalog outside of your main computer, you need another computer with a copy of the same Elements program. The catalog itself on an external drive is just a kind of backup, but it can't be read. So you can store a copy on an external drive, but to open the catalog you need Elements. Imagine you plug in the catalog external drive from another computer. Without a copy of the picture files, only the information and thumbnails can be seen. You can do various organization tasks like adding tags, creating albums, rating, adding notes.
If that is what you want to do and you can plug in the external drive on another computer with Elements, that's fine (you can have two copies of Elements 'signed in' at the same time).

I can not read folder content in Bridge CC

I moved one sub folder in my external Segate Backup plus HD to another folder using bridge CC. At half way Bridge gave a warning saying that some files were not copied there might be a problem. Now I can not see the folder at all. From total size of the external drive I am guessing it is not deleted but I can not access.

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
Messages like those you are seeing seem quite a common form of wrone message.
Try completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your Adobe ID.

Can not mirror onto an external display in Boot Camp

I have a MacBook Black and I am running Windows XP Professional via Boot Camp. I've been having problem trying to set up mirroring in XP. On my previous MacBook Black which I purchased last May, I had no problems mirroring in XP. But for some strange reason, I can't mirror at all. After installing Boot Camp drivers in Windows, I didn't even see the Intel icon in the system tray. I went to Intel's website and I downloaded the latest driver which supposedly addressed this problem. However, I'm still unable to mirror my display. I can extend it to the external display but that's not what I want. I know others have experienced the same thing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?

If it were only that simple. The mirror option is not there at all due to the fact that the Intel icon that's supposed to show in the system tray is not there at all either.
One thing I did the other day was check on the boxes of both of my MacBooks to see what chipset was installed in both of them. My MacBook that I bought last year has the Intel GMA 950 chipset installed. My current MacBook that I have has the Intel X3100 chipset installed. I have no problem mirroring on the old MacBook with the GMA 950 chipset. I have been to Intel's website and they stated that this was a known issue with the X3100 chipset. Their latest driver was supposed to address the feature. After updating my driver to the latest one, the problem is still not solved.

E3000 shows "USB is not supported" error with External Harddrive

I have the E3000 router and recently purchased a USB WD (Western Digital) 2TB External Harddrive. I plug the Harddrive into the router, open the router homepage (http://192.168.1.1/) then click on Storage > Disk and I get a "The attached USB is not supported" error - any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks for any help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Likely Final Update: WD Support sent me a link to download / install SmartWare and solve the problem I was having with the SmartWare software ("Drive Settings" was greyed out). Once I got SmartWare back up and running I was able to change the "Drive Settings" within SmartWare. As the last update suggested, I modified the sleep timer settings and security (password settings) and tested to get the following results:
Sleep Timer on / Password protection on: E3000 shows "USB not supported"
Sleep Timer off / Password protection on: E3000 shows "USB not supported"
Sleep Timer on / Password protection off: WD Hard Drive seen and seems to function properly when connected to E3000
Sleep Timer off / Password protection off: WD Hard Drive seen and seems to function properly when connected to E3000
So (other than maybe some inital problems with the WD SmartWare) it appears the "USB is not supported" error is due to the Password protection being turned on for the External Hard Drive. This point should be highlighted in the Western Hard Drive materials but I don't see it anywhere on the box or in the manual (maybe its fine print in the manual). Cisco and / or Western Digital are screwing us by not allowing password protection (or making this point known) on at this least model of Hard Drive!
Thanks again to everyone that helped with troubleshooting this!

Can maverick be installed on external harddrive?

I have a 2008 iMac and want to install Maverick on a partition of an external harddrive. Can this be done?

Of course. You just need to format the external drive with a GUID partition map and with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Then, run the OS X Mavericks installer and choose the external drive to install OS X Mavericks

Can anyone recommend a good external harddrive for iTunes backup?

I would like to backup my files externally. I really dont know too much about this stuff. Can anyone make a suggestion for an external harddrive? Thanks!

I have an AcomData 120GB, a Western Digital 200GB and a Fantom 250GB external HD. All are working well. LaCie is another fine brand. I usually buy the major brands by price. Expect to pay $0.50 or less per GB (my last ExHD was $90 for 250GB).
If you are very concerned about longevity, then look at the Seagates as they carry a 5-year warranty (at least on the internal laptop drive that I have purchased).

Can't open project on External Harddrive

I'm using iMovie 5.0.2 and working on a project that is saved on an external hard drive.
After 6 hours of editing, the power cord came out of the hard drive. I connected everything and tried to save the project. I then got scared and stopped the saving. Now I can't open the project. I can't save it to another part of the hard drive and open it. Every time I try to open the movie it says :
A project file is missing.
The file "_" couldn't be opened
and is being skipped. Click Ignore All
to skip any remaining missing file messages.
The iMovie quits. If I can find the files- all won't be lost. Plus, I have a high res quicktime file saved of the raw footage. But, I would like NOT to lose that 6 hours of work.
Can I open this file? Did I mess it up? Where are the video clips saved? I can't find them. I have iMovie on my laptop and the project saved on the hard drive.
Thanks for any help. This is why I'm so done with video Just a few more projects to do. After 15 years this type of crap drives me crazy.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't do anything more with your iMovie. Don't try another save, as that can write over your last good saves. You MAY be able to retrieve the prior save. Hopefully, you saved as you went along during these 6 hours so you can retrieve a very recent saved version.
(These types of accidents have made me realize the importance of backing up my movies-in-progress as I am editing them. I did not do this in the past, and now I try to do it at least at the end of each editing session so that not all would be lost. I had an external drive fail suddenly and all of my movies were gone. Fortunately, I was able to reimport the original footage, but frequent saves would have been best).
In iM6, you can access the project files by control or right-clicking on the star icon and selecting 'show package contents' to let you see the movie files. One or more of the icons will have a tilde ~ or several of them. Those are prior versions of the iMovie, and can be used to get back to a prior save.
In iM5, I think you can just directly open the project files and see the movie files as ~ files with the name as "yourmovie.mov" It might be in a Cache folder and might be called "Timeline Movie.mov." If you don't see anything like a Cache folder, try doing the process for iM6 above. If you see multiple .mov files with ~ and then more ~~ or even ~~~ those are more versions. You may have to try one or more of these to find the latest one possible.
Once you locate the .mov version of your movie, open a new iMovie project and drop in one of the .mov~ movies into it and see if it works. If so, continue editing with this one. This version will be all in one clip, so more editing is a bit more difficult, but not impossible and at least you will have some of your work back.
It's crucial you NOT save the messed-up project right now, for that will destroy the good QuickTime movie, replacing it with a bad "empty" movie.
(Thanks to Karl Peterson for the info re: retrieving prior saved movies).
Good luck!
