External Hard Drive Recommendation Needed

I have an iBook G4, with probably a little less than 20 GB of material that I want to back-up onto an external hard drive. Recently, I purchased a "Fuji 30GB External Hard Drive," but while attempting to transfer my material to it, I received very many times the following message:
"You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination. Do you want to skip copying these items and continue copying the other items?"
As it turns out, about 20% of the files on my iBook are un-transferable to the "Fuji 30GB" because of the length or composition of their filenames. I was hoping that someone could recommend to me a brand of external drive, in the 20GB-30GB range, with which I would not have this problem. Thanks for reading.
Double thanks for answering.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Personally, I like Western Digital and Seagate drives. And I would recommend looking for a larger drive, as prices have really come down and you can often find sales. There is almost no such thing as a hard drive that is too big. I believe the extra space will help with the bigger files because it will improve the chances of larger blocks of space to receive the data.
Newegg and OWC are good sources. Also look at office supply stores for sales.
Good luck!

I am looking to back up my MAC, and I need to know how big of an external hard drive I need

I am looking to back up my MAC, and I need to know how big of an external hard drive I need. How do I determine this?

Well, they recommend at least 2 - 3 times the size of your hard drive if you are using Time Machine because that keeps making backups until it runs out of space (and then deletes the oldest to make room for the newest).
However, if you prefer to have a bootable clone as a backup, you need about the same size as your hard drive since it is a perfect copy of your system (unless you want to partition and keep an older clone separately).
So, check to see how large your hard drive is and go from there.

Does an external hard drive ALWAYS need to be connected to my mbp with retina display for Time Machine?

Does an external hard drive ALWAYS need to be connected to my mbp (OS 10.10.1) with retina display for Time Machine? Or can it be connected once a week or whenever I want? I used to have an external drive always connected to my previous mbp, but it made moving my mbp around a bit of a hassle with it connected...

When the backup drive is not connected, some of the free space on the internal drive will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. Local snapshots will protect you from unintended file deletions, but not from a drive failure. You should only go as long between backups as you're willing to lose data. If losing a week's worth of work is acceptable to you, then that backup frequency is OK. Otherwise, it isn't.

I have a western digital external hard drive that needs to be re formatted for use on my but iMac but I do not want to lose existing data

I have a Western Digital external hard drive that needs to be re formatted for use on my iMac, but I do not want to lose existing data, is this possible ?

Formatting a disk always erases all the data on it. Your only option is to back it up elsewhere and restore it once formatted.

External Hard Drive Recommendation for iMac 24

I'm a Mac Newbie; 25 plus years using HP's. I'm needing advise on best external HD for Time Machine and media storage. I currently have a MacBook 13" and an iMac 24 (3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1.0 TB Internal Hard Drive). I've noticed a lot of positive comments about OWC external drives, especially the Mercury Elite Series. Is there a particular model or size in that series that would make sense based on my current equipment? Also, just curious, there doesn't appear to be many recommendations for Apple Time Machine units; why not? Thanks in advance for your time into my query.

I'm very happy with my OWC Mercury Elite Pro. How large a unit you get it mostly a matter of your budget and how much data you want/need to back up. A 1TB external drive would probably do most people quite nicely for a long time, but if you're going to be accumulating a lot of video material, that will fill up space fast, so you might need a larger drive or RAID. OWC has RAID units up to 4TB.

Do you mean Apple's Time Capsule? If so, many people are quite happy with it, but since it's more than just an external hard drive, you won't see it mentioned very often when someone asks for a recommendation for an external drive. If you need to share a drive between more than one system, and particularly if you're also in the market for a wireless base station, a Time Capsule might be just the thing for you. If all you need is an external drive for a single computer, a Time Capsule would be overkill.

IPhoto Library moved to External Hard Drive and need help moving library

Hi - Recently I had my hard drive replaced. I purchased Disk Warrior and moved all files to my external hard drive. Now that my hard drive has been replaced, I'm having trouble moving all my photos back to iPhoto. Nearly all of my 8K+ photos are blurry after I import and enlarge. The ones that are fine have dimensions of or more than 1K x 1K. The digital photos that I moved and are blurry when enlarged are 340x360 (hundreds range). How can I correct?
Thanks so much in advance.
Audra

I think I might need to back up ---- So I had a failing hard drive, went to Apple and purchased Disk Warrior. Installed Disk Warrior and tried to recover everything from my hard drive. Then all that was recovered was supposedly moved to my external hard drive. I have now received my computer back with the new hard drive. I plug in my external hard drive and have been trying to move all my images from the external hard drive to iphoto. In both places (external HD and when the photos are imported), the image is at the lower dimensions.
Thanks for your time.

FCPX external hard drive advice needed

I have on order the following iMac which will be used for video editing with FCPX.
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X8GB (upping to 32mb when it arrives)
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5
I'm coming from an older Mac Pro with internal hard drives, so I need some advice from the video editing experts on a quality external hard drive for the new iMac. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You've waited a long time...
Here's the deal: Thunderbolt has a bandwidth of 10Gb/s... TB2 a bandwidth of 20Gb/s. The G Raid uses 2 disk drives with 7200 RPM platters. These drives are the bottleneck and about the fastest transfers you can expect are in the 250MB/s range... I get that (and better) with a single SSD in a USB 3 enclosure. Three or more drives would get better transfer rates; you would need a larger enclosure.
You have to ask yourself: Do I want storage or do I want speed?
To make the best use of Thunderbolt speed, you can build your own RAID with an enclosure and buy the drives (matched) separately. A Thunderbolt enclosure with SSD drives will make the best use of the bandwidth provided by TB. You can find 4-bay enclosures and SSDs up to 960GB. You can expect transfer rates of over a gigabyte/second (I'm looking an an Akitio 4-bay enclosure with an advertised speed of 1375MB/s... [ customer reviews ] -- I am not affiliated with this product in any way... I think you'll get even more info here. )
Hope you find the info useful.

How to save Flip video files to external hard drive (and need new vid camera rec)?

I am trying to back up my Flip videos from my MacBook OS X 10.5.8 on to my external hard drive. They will not drop & drag directly from the flipshare software and I did locate all the mp4 files in my finder under "All Videos" where I think I can copy them over but they are not organized by title or anything and I only want to back up the clips I've edited and the movies I've created, not all the raw footage.
I'm wondering if I'm going to have to import all of these files into iMovie in order to do this in a way that will be helpful? that seems like it will take forever since *I think* you have to do them one at a time and I have almost 2 years of footage of my kids...Is there a quick way to import video into iMovie?
Side bar, anyone know of a good video camera that is small & easy like Flip but not part of a phone? My flip has died & since Cisco is abandoning the brand, I need something new.
Thank you!

Relocated iPhoto to external hard drive - now need to delete old library.

I have relocated my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I did this due to space issues on my internal hard drive. Now I need to delete my iPhoto library on my internal hard drive to give me more memory. What is the best, easiest, and safest way to delete? Thank you so much!

Before you delete anything:
1.) Make sure the drive you put your library on is Mac OS formatted. Click on the drive icon and go to File > Get Info and check the "Format". If it isn't Mac formatted, reformat the drive and re-copy the library over.
2.) Tell iPhoto to look at your library on the external drive to make sure it has all the pictures you want. Hold down option key and launch iPhoto and choose the library on the external drive to see within it.
3.) Do you have a backup? I have my library on an external drive like you do. I have another external drive that backs up my computer and the drive with the library on it. External drives are relatively inexpensive (You can also backup using DVDs although if you have a large library it might take quite a few disks.)
__You will see it said over and over here on the discussion boards. If you have information that is important to you, have a backup.
<hr>
To Delete your library:
In the Dock (long strip of icons at the bottom of the computer screen) click on the Finder icon.
Look in the sidebar on the left hand side of the resulting window. You will see the Home.
__Inside the Home go to the folder called "Pictures". Drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to the trash and empty the trash.
Hope that helps.

External Hard Drive Recommendations?

Hello - Newbie here.
I am in the market for an External Hard Drive for my MBP 2.33. I can't decide between a 500GB Maxtor One Touch III with FW-800/400; and the 500GB Western Digital MyBook with FW-800/400.
I am going to use this to hold my digital video footage. So I will be transfering the video straight from my sony dv camera to the hard drive where I will work with the footage with IMovie. I already have a FW-400 wire for the camcorder-computer connection...that leaves me with a USB and the FW-800 port available.
Has anyone had issues with WD or Maxtor and their Mac? Suggest another model??
Any advice would be much appreciated!!
Thank you!!

Maxtor are owned by Seagate. They used to be something of a budget brand.
Just so that it helps, do bear in mind that an external drive is just an external enclosure with an internal drive or drives in it.
Reliability depends on the combination between the enclosure and the drive - a good drive can still fail as a result of the enclosure doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. A drive can also fail simply because they are not perfect, so you could easily buy an expensive external drive which has a Western Digital Drive in it which will work fine.
Personally I'd go with an OWC enclosure and put a Seagate drive in it. Hang on, I did and opinions will vary. IVMichael recently recommended Western digital Drives (I think - sorry if I'm wrong) - but I think the Drives rather than their My Book solution.
Best of luck.

400GB of photos. Want to backup to external hard drive. Need help. Not very computer savvy. Thanks

I have 400 GB of photos in iPhoto and simply want to back them up. I have a 1TB external hard drive and am wondering what is the simplest way to do this. Can I save the photos to the External Drive and them delete them from iPhoto? I need to free up space on the internal drive. Thanks

You can use Time Machine to backup, that does not mean that you can delete photos from iPhoto to save space however.
Plug the drive into your Mac and turn Time Machine on, that is all you need to do as far as backup is concerned.
You will need a second drive for your iPhoto library if you wish to keep access to all photo's, all of the time.

External hard drive recommendations for OSX 10.4.7 and Windows XP

I just purchased an iMac20. I used bootcamp and have Windows XP running on a partition. I want to purchase an external hard drive for backup. Recommendations for an easy to use device that will allow backup of both operating systems without too much confusion. Thanks.

If you have 250GB drive, look for FW400 w/ 320GB.
I have bought a dozen (FW800/400 mostly) from OWC:

Transferring iTunes Library to an external hard drive - help needed

I recently moved my iTunes library (aka all of my 32 GB of music) onto an external hard drive so as to save space on my laptop, but I messed up somehow and now I can't add songs to my iPhone. The chain of events went something like this:
1. I copied my iTunes library onto my external hard drive.
2. I changed my iTunes library location (in the itunes settings) to it's new spot on the external.
3. I deleted the songs off my laptop.
This worked fine at first, but then I think I opened iTunes with my external NOT connected and I got a blank library. I plugged in my external but my itunes was still blank. Then I decided I'll just add everything back to my itunes library. I did that, but I lost all my playlists and whatnot, but I didn't really care - all my music was there.
Now I just tried to add new music to my iPhone and it won't let me. When I try to turn manual music management it gives me an error saying "this iPhone is synced with another itunes library".
Is there some way I can retrieve my original itunes library from before I did all this stuff? Help much appreciated.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

External Hard Drive requirements needed?

Hello. I'm very new to Mac...I have an external hard drive from my PC and was wondering what the requirements are to run TimeMachine...I realize that I would have delete everything on the hard drive if I wish to use it. It is a Maxtor. Thank you.

The size of the TM backup disk should be 2 to 3 times the amount of data you expect to back up. That will leave plenty of room for incremental backups.
The disk will have to be reformatted with the Mac HFS+ (Journaled) file system. Disk Utility is the tool to use for that.
