Can't Transfer MKV files to my External

Hi, I have some huge MKV files on my Mac and they take alot of space. So I want to transfer them to my Verbatim External Drive. But it keep showing this message : "The action can not be performed because an error has occurred (errorcode 0)."
And i can't really not figure out what is wrong... Have never heard about a External Drive there wound't take a file.
Anbody there have an answer?

No way. It's impossible to put a 9GB file on a FAT32 volume. Either the volume is not FAT32, or the 9GB item is not a file, but a folder. (Of course, you are aware that, in Mac OS X Finder, specific types of folders appear as a single file -- applications, for instance.)
I don't think the size of any one file in whatever Map program he is using are over the 4GB limit.
I take his comment as the total size of a folder holding smaller files totaling over 9GBs.
But hey I could be wrong. But as you say, and I agree, FAT32 has a 4GB limit.

  • I have an existing CD edition of CS5 Master suit and want to install on my new computer that hasn't got a disc drive. Can I transfer the files using a external HD?

    I've manage to install the first part (disc 1) using this method as it runs as a remote disc but disc 2 only contains a folder called payloads and it doesn't pick it up from my external HD while running the installer (does that make sense?) Is there a way of dragging and dropping these files into Adobe Utilities some how? I just don't want to have to go buy a 'plug in' CD drive for this one thing.
    Thanks in anticipation,
    Claire

    The easiest way is to download the software from this link:

  • Why can't I transfer any files to an external device?

    My MacBook Pro will not let me transfer any files to my external hard drive or android tablet. I can transfer from the device to the macbook but not the other way around. I used to be able to as I have transferred movies from the macbook to the hard drive before but it will no longer allow me to do that. I have downloaded the android file transfer app. How do I fix this?

    The external HDD is probably formatted NTFS, for Windows, which allows you to read but not write to it.  Click on it with COMMAND + I and check the format.
    You can reformat it for Mac or PC and Mac, but reformatting will erase all user data off of the HDD.
    You also can use a third party software such as Paragon or Tuxera to write to it.

  • 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!

  • "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings." Why?

    I saved my files and settings from a previous installation of windows 7 to an external hard drive using windows easy transfer. Now when I try to transfer those files and setting to my new installation I get the following message:
    Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings.
    The message pops up only a few seconds after the transfer begins.
    Why is this?! I need those files and windows has screwed me. Everything is basically the same as before I reinstalled. Same computer, same windows 7 installation just recovered to factory settings. Same system language as before. BTW I'm on a Toshiba L505 laptop
    running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I have tried all the usual suspects such as a clean boot and uninstalling my antivirus to rule out third party interference. I have more than enough space on both my computer and on the external hard drive. I have tried only transferring a user account a
    few MBs large. I have reinstalled the OS twice just in case something went wrong there. I have clicked on the .MIG file directly. All lead to the same error message.The transfer file seems to be intact and not currupt
    Is there another software other than WET that can use the same transfer file that WET created to restore my files? Please help me solve this if you can or at least point me in the right direction because right now I'm clueless. I can't emphasize how important
    those files are to me. I've searched for solutions on several forums and it seems that this is a problem people have been having for years now and windows hasn't provided an answer yet.
    An interesting note, When I reboot the laptop after trying to do the transfer, a new user account appears at startup alongside the one I normally use. This new user account has the same unique name of the user account I am trying to restore but that's where
    the similarity ends. All the settings for this account are default settings and empty folders. What does this mean?

    Hi Vincent, like I said I tried all of that already and it failed. Thanks a lot for trying to help though. Imperfect1, so sorry I took so long to reply. No that's not the case. I was trying to restore from x86 to x86.
    Well, I finally gave up. I've scoured the internet for a solution. You'll probably find duplicates of this post all over. This has been a known software problem with Windows Easy Transfer for years and Microsoft has done nothing to fix it or warn users of
    the risks. Shameful!
    Anyway, I managed to recover my files with this life saver of a program here>

    I can't express how grateful I am to the developer and the host for the download. You guys are the most awesomest people ever. Cheers.
    Here's how you modify the syntax in commmand prompt if you used a password to protect the mig file in WET>

    Just remember to change the source drive letter in "C:\SaveData.MIG" to the actual drive it's stored on if your MIG file is on an external drive like mine was; whether it's E:, F:, G: or whatever.
    Good luck to anyone with the same issue who stumbles upon this post. I hope it helps you as it did me.

  • I have macbook pro 13" I want to know how to copy files from my mac to the external Toshiba Hard Drive. I can't even delete files from my external hard drive. please help me my macbook HD is almost full and I have to copy my images to the Toshiba HD

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.

  • HT204382 how can I transfer wma files to my mac?

    how can I transfer wma files to my mac?

    A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
    The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
    A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
    The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
    It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

  • How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?

    How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to buy an adapter? How do I setup the software to make these two system connected?

    Thanks for your answering. But the issue is that I'll often transfer a large amount files from PCs to the Macbook, and I'm explring the way to use firewire since there is indeed an i-S400 port in the VAIO laptop, and it's much faster.
    USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400 and USB 3 is faster than Firewire 800
    If it was another Mac you were transferring from then you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode which makes the boot drive of the old Mac appear on the desktop of the new Mac to rapidly copy files, but you have a Windows PC with no FWTDM capability.
    So to connect the two machines requires a network be setup over Ethernet and mucking around with the complexities of all that and it still takes awhile to finish. One can't setup a network with a PC over USB or Firewire, only Firewire with another Mac.
    You get a external USB drive, USB 3,2,1 is fine and just drag and drop copy, the machine does all the work and you go do something else until it's finished, then repeat the same with the Mac.
    Fast simple and effective, let it copy overnight if you have too.
    I routinely clone my entire hard drive via USB 2 and it only takes a hour and a half for 350GB.
    By the time you figure out how to network a Mac and a PC over Ethernet and getting it work to transfer files, you could be done already via USB.

  • Can you transfer specified files between an imac & laptop

    http://ChucF  Can You transfer specified files between a laptop & an imac?

    Sure.
    There are several possibilities.
    You can connect the 2 with FW and start one as Target (keep T pressed during boot). You will see the second Mac as external HD and do the transfer with Finder.
    Or you can connect the 2 on the same net with Gigabit Cable or WiFi and again use Finder.
    If you need more control in transfer I found Tri-Backup usefull (www.tri-edre.com)

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

    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.

  • 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.
