Copying movies and films from external HDD to new Momentus XT

I have recently installed a new Momentus XT 500 drive on a mid 2010 macbook pro 13"
Drive model - ST95005620AS
revision - TD24
Drive seems to be working fine with very fast boot times ect.  However, if I copy across movies from my external drive to the computer, the playback is not smooth.  Audio seems ok, but the pictures freeze regularly.
I have copied avi files (VLC playback) and mp4 direct into itunes.  The problem is consistant in both.
I have tried playing the same movies direct from the external disk (WD 250 gig powered from USB) and the playback is fine.
I am running Mountain Lion which I installed clean on the new drive before transferring accross my data from time machine (migration assistant)
Anybody any ideas?
Many thanks,
Christian

Further to initial question.....
I tried playing an avi from a usb external disk - Played properly
copied that file to the desktop (Momentus XT) - Playback was poor - jerky and intermittant.
Copied same file to another USB drive - Played properly
I thought the files were maybe corrupting when coppied, which appears not to be the case
Is this a faulty drive or setup issue?
Thanks

  • How to move iPhoto Library from external drive to new mac?

    I have exported a copy of my iPhoto Library from my old mac to an external hard drive. How can I import entire library into iPhoto of new mac? When I click Import to Library, I'm unable to highlight iPhoto Library file listed on my external hard drive in Finder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Is the iPhoto library on the new computer empty? If it is, quit iPhoto and just drag the iPhoto library on the New Computer to the trash and drag the iPhoto library from the EHD to the pictures folder on the new computer - there is no importing involved - you NEVER want to import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto Library
    If you want to run the new computer with the iPhoto library on the external drive simply launch i{Photo while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library to point to the EHD

  • HT1660 Can I play movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to re-instll them on my computer?

    Can I play my movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to reinstall it on my computer?

    Hello B3NN13,
    If you would like to add the music from your external hard drive to iTunes without copying it to the iTunes Library on your internal hard drive, you may find the following article helpful:
    Add files to your library without adding them to your iTunes folder
    When you add an item already on your computer to your iTunes library, iTunes places a copy of the file in your iTunes folder. The original file remains in its current location.
    You can change this setting so that files are added to your iTunes library without being added to the iTunes folder. You might want to do this, for example, if you prefer to store video files on an external disk but still want to view them in iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, and click Advanced.
    Deselect the checkbox next to “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.”
    From now on, when you drag a file to your library or choose File > Add to Library, the item appears in iTunes, but the actual file isn’t copied or moved.
    Tip: You can temporarily reverse this setting by holding down the Option key while you drag files to the iTunes window.

    my new macbook air( 761-13", ios 10) suddendy shutdown today during copy of a dvd from external dvdrom. and it does not turn on or start up.what should i do?

    Hello kanani-2014,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your Mac not turning on. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
    Resolution
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
    If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter. 
    Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

  • Lightroom 5 do not recognise catalog from external HDD

    I am using Lightroom 5 now. In the earlier version, I was able to create catalog & save them in external HDD. Similarly I could open any catalog from external HDD with the lrcat file extension.
    However, in the current version, it does not allow me to create catalog nor retrieve catalog from external HDD.
    This means that I have to either transfer all the raw files to the HDD from the external HDD and then create the catalog in the laptop. After finishing all the editing, then copy and transfer everything back to the external HDD.
    I cannot imagine if whenever I have to edit something, I have to keep doing transfer between the laptop HDD & external HDD.
    Any experts can advise?

    I am using LR 5.2 and I do not have this problem. My Raw files are on an external hard drive and my catalog together with its previews and Smart Previews and the CR Cache folder are all on a USB 3.0, 64 GB memory stick. The only thing on the laptop's (Windows 7) internal drive is the LR application. I turn on the external only when importing or exporting/printing and editing is done through the Smart Previews. This setup works smooth as silk for me, so I think you also should be able to work from the external.
    When you write "it does not allow me to create catalog nor retrieve catalog from external HDD," what do you mean? If you go to File/New Catalog, does the external not appear on the system navigation window that opens? If you go to File/Open Catalog, does the external not appear on the system navigation window that opens? If, with LR closed, you use Explorer or Finder to go to an .lrcat file on the external and double-click it, does this launch LR?

  • How do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

    how do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

    Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive.  Make sure they have copied.  Delete them from iTunes.  Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes.  This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
    In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again.  See also:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • Material exchane ,copy pricing and conditions from main item to sub item.

    Hi All,
    We are using parts exchange/interchangeability in the transaction ME22N,
    While using ME22N we are exchanging  main item with interchangeable part and while doing so we want to copy pricing and conditions from main item to sub item.
    But its not happening.
    As per sap help its possible, details describe below.
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/c2/0a5288b77d11d3bcce00105ab03aee/content.htm
    Price Determination by Copying from Main Item
    In the case of price determination by copying from the main item, the net price of the originally ordered part is still used for the superseding part in a part exchange.
    The system copies all conditions from the main item to all sub-items and takes into account the order quantity for the main item when calculating scale prices. It does not take into account the conditions and scale prices that exist for the interchangeable part.
    You cannot change the conditions, which have been copied from the main item, at sub-item level. It is possible, however, to define additional conditions for each sub-item.
    Prerequisites
    A calculation schema, which can be altered on an individual basis in Customizing, has been supplied for the price determination.
    In the vendor master record, you have set the schema group 09 (interchangeable material).
    But in customizing I didnu2019t find value 09 for schema group .
    Can any buddy through some light on missing pieces which need to be set?
    Thanks

    Ritesh

    Hi,
    Can you check few more things and tell me?
    - In this exit, does XVBPA and XVBAP contains all the line items. ( main and sub items ).
    - In Sales order creation time, do these table have VBELN populated when this exit triggers.
    - If you modify XVBPA or XVBAP in this exit, do they get overwritten after that.
    Try this code. See if it works.  Let me know if you still have a problem.
    DATA: wa_hvbpa LIKE vbpa,
          wa_xvbpa like vbpa.
    CLEAR: wa_hvbpa, wa_xvbpa.
    * check if HVBAP and VBAP line items are not same
    IF vbap-posnr <> hvbap-posnr.
    * read the ****-to partner from main-item
      READ TABLE xvbpa INTO wa_hvbpa WITH KEY posnr = hvbap-posnr
                                              parvw = 'WE'.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
    *   read the line item data for sub-item based on main item
        READ TABLE xvbap WITH KEY posnr = vbap-posnr
                                  uepos = hvbap-posnr.
    * See if current line is the child of that BoM parent
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          MOVE wa_xvbpa-kunnr TO xvbpa-kunnr.
          MOVE xvbap-vbeln TO wa_xvbpa-vbeln.
          MOVE xvbap-posnr TO wa_xvbpa-posnr.
          MOVE 'WE' TO wa_xvbpa-parvw.
          MODIFY vbpa FROM wa_xvbpa.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.
