  • I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

    I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
    "Restore Failure
    Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
    Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
    Thanks!
    ....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

    I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
    By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • Transferring playlist from one mac to external hard drive- to another mac

    Hi, a buddy made a playlist of music for me (about 3 days worth) of his music. We tried to download the list to his extenal hard drive so that I could then upload it to my itunes. However, whenever we tried to send the playlist to his external, the titles show up momentarily then are no where to be found in the external hard drive. Help
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    guess I didn't think of it as stealing music since all the music we were trying to copy is from cd's he purchased. What's the difference between transferring the file and me borrowing all his cd's and copying them to my Itunes?

  • I transferred my itunes to an external hard drive from my mac, now all of my music needs to be located. Help...

    I moved my itunes library to an external hard drive, now all of the music says it needs to be located. Not sure, but I believe it is not directed properly.

    if you do iTunes > Preferences> Advanced you can change the location of where your music is stored.  Click on change location and direct it to your external hard drive.  Of course, your external hard drive will need to be connected to your computer to play the music. 
    When you moved your music to an external hard drive, did you copy the folders or move the folder off your computer completely? I copied the folders, and left iTunes folder in my Music folder and all seems to work fine. one hitch can be is that your Library in iTunes will list all of your content, but if you have some albums on the hard drive of your computer and some on your external hard drive, iTunes will need to be told where to locate these files.

  • Can't boot on my external hard drive on another Mac (stop sign)

    Hi,
    My system is placed on an external SSD connected to my iMac.
    I've just bought a brand new Mac Mini and I wish to boot it using my SSD.
    When I pick it up in the startup alternatives list (maintening the "Alt" key pressed during the boot), I just get a gray screen with a stop sign at the middle. Then the Mini shuts down.
    Isn't it possible at all to use the same boot disk on my iMac and on my Mini ? (I don't intend to use it constantly on both, I was just hoping to migrate flawlessly using the same System disk).
    Note :
    - when I plug it back to my iMac, the iMac boots up normally
    - if I boot my Mac Mini using the internal hard drive, I can access to all the content of my SSD. I performed a full disk check on it using the Disk Utility and everything's fine. I just can't boot with it.
    - of course, both of the systems (iMac/SSD and Mac Mini internal HDD) are up-to-date (10.8.2)
    Thanks for your help.

    Most likely, the new mini can't boot with the iMac's components. See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac and Computer-specific Mac OS X releases for details.

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • Can't get LR3 to import photos from one external hard drive to another?

    I'm wanting to move thousands of raw photos from a folder in one external hard drive to another folder in a different external hard drive so all my photos are in one photo folder instead of two.  I've gone through the importing routine inside of lightroom to move the folder over to the new hard drive.  However, the photos don't move because they still show up on the old hard drive and not the new one.  What's weird is when I try to import it again, the grid view shows all the photos I'm wanting to import and when I move my cursor over any of the photos they are faded out and it says the photos are already imported.  However, if this is true why aren't they showing up in the new folder on my new external hard drive?  I know the new external hard drive works fine because I've successfully been putting all my newer photos there since I started using LR about one year ago.  The one's I'm trying to move over are older photos I shot try to using LR.
    I'm stumped and need some help.  Thanks in advance.

    You wrote
    "Are you saying while I'm in LR just grab the folder I want to move and drop it into the new hard drive"
    Yes, that's the way to move photos & folders from within LR.
    LR will then update its catalog with the new location and everything should be fine.
    Importing is not a good way for moving photos / folders. Since the photos are already in the catalog you had to uncheck <Don't import suspected duplicates> or all the photos will be greyed-out in the import dialog. If you did that LR would import the photos from drive A and put it on drive B. But they would still be on drive A, so you'd have the photos on both drives and would have to delete them on drive A.
    But more important: By default LR saves all edits in the catalog, they are not saved with the images themselves. That means by doing an import instead of a drag-and-drop move you'd lose your edits.
    You can save your edits to xmp, a side-car file that is stored together with the image file, and the xmps would be imported. But LR does not store everything as xmp. For instance Virtual Copies, Collections, Stacking are saved only in the catalog, so by doing an import you'd lose these things.
    Unless you know LR very well, it's best to use the Import Feature only for images that are NOT yet in LR.
    And another thing: Before doing major operations like moving big amounts of photos, it's best to backup your catalog first.

  • How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another

    How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another?

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

  • Cannot copy itunes from one external hard drive to another.

    I have been using an external hard drive for storing my itunes and iphoto for a while now. I have never experienced any issue copying it to a larger drive for back up. My current drive is only 80 gigs (LaCie) and is almost out of space. I bought a new g-tech 500gig mini drive to replace it. Every time that I try to move the files from the old drive to the new one, I get the following error message 10 gigs into the transfer-
    [You can’t copy “Music” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames.]
    There is nothing on the new drive. I even took the iphoto folder off to make sure there was nothing on it to cause this message.
    Is this an external drive issue or a Finder issue? I had no issue moving the iphoto library onto the new drive, fwiw...

    I am getting exactly the same problem. It's just with the music folder. I dont get the problem copying other folders over. It gets about 22gb into copying 100gb from one external hard drive to another then I get the error message "You can’t copy “Music” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames." So I tried just copying the itunes folder and I still get the same message. Any advice welcome.

  • I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

    I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

    Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
    See info here.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
    It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
    In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
    There is more info here.
