External Storage
Hi ,complete newbie here ,apologies if this has been asked before ,I did search .
I have a WD 500GB hard-drive that I've loads of movies for the kids.It doesn't have a power source and my brand new Tablet doesn't seem to pick it up but it does pick up my 2 small 1GB sticks ...I'm guessing there's a power issue from Tablet to Hard-drive.
Is there any way to get the tablet to see it ?? Its set to FAT32 ,if I switch to NTSF will all my data be lost ?
If not ,is there any other HD's that will definetely work ?
Thanks

How to use AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only?
I have a new AirPort Time Capsule 3TB, now I want to use my AirPort Time Capsule 2TB as an external storage hard drive only, how do I it?
I would like to connect the AirPort Time Capsule 2TB directly to my Mac Pro. using OS X 10.7.5.
I have erase disk and reset the 2TB to factory default, after that, I cannot make it to connect to my Mac. Please help.The 2TB Time Capsule needs to connect to your 3TB Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
Connect from a LAN <--> port on the 3 TB Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the 2 TB Time Capsule and configure the 2TB Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and turn off the wireless function on the device as well.
Once that is done, you can connect your Mac directly to the 2TB Time Capsule using another Ethernet cable, or your Mac can connect to the network using the normal wireless network, if you prefer. -
I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?
Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Using a Mac Pro G5 as external storage
So I recently bought a power mac g5 tower for $35 (I cant believe i got it for that cheap and It runs perfectly!) but now that i have it Im trying to find a use for it since i already have a mac pro 8 core and a new macbook pro. So im trying to find some way to put it to use, since it is a power mac im not gonna run any programs on it even though i have thought of running snow leopard on. I was talking to a friend and he said I could set it up so i can use it as external storage for my mac pro but im not sure if this is possible since it is a power mac and my mac pro is intel based. Could i set it up as a External storage unit and use it as like i would any other external hard drive you can buy? Im sorry if this doesnt make sense.
And just one little side note my friends company is selling a ton of their Xserve G5 cluster nodes and i was wondering if you could use these to create a computer cluster or use them for storage also.
Thanks for your help,
John
Oh and if anyone has any other cool ideas of what i can use it for im open to any ideasYou can't run Snow Leopard on it. Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor. The newest you can run is Leopard 10.5.8
Try turning on sharing and see if you see the drives from your Mac Pro.

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.
Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?
Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

Apple TV - sync with external storage?
I bought an Apple TV about 2 weeks and have been pretty happy with it. I have lots of TV shows saved on an external drive so as not to completely fill up my iMac. The external drive is connected to my iMac at all times.
Is there a way that I can sync Apple TV to this external storage device? Or watch TV shows from the external hard drive without moving them back to the iMac and then syncing with the Apple TV? Or is there a way I can leave TV shows on the Apple TV without also copying them to my iMac? My Apple TV is 160gb so there must be a way of using that memory without jamming up my iMac.
I've looked in the manual but haven't found an answer to this situation.
Thanks for any ideas or assistance.

Next thing to appreciate is how iTunes stores files.
The iTunes library, usually called iTunes, contains various sub-folders and files.
Some of these files contain the library database, artwork etc.
There'll be an iTunes Music folder which contains the media copied into iTunes on import.
There may be old library database backups, and a folder for iPhone apps if you have one.
There may be other folders for other sorts of user.
Is there a way that I can sync Apple TV to this external storage device?
Not without the files being known to iTunes - all communication with AppleTV in terms of local network file transfers works through iTunes.
Or watch TV shows from the external hard drive without moving them back to the iMac and then syncing with the Apple TV?
Yes, this is possible.
When you import a CD it will automatically store in the iTunes Music folder. You can see where file are by selecting Show in Finder after a right click on the entry in iTunes.
If you import a file from somewhere other than CD however there is a Preference under Advanced>General Tab which decides if a copy is placed in the iTunes Music folder or not. If you deselect the copy option iTunes simply stores a reference to the file not the file itself.
So, if you deselect copy you could just drag the files from the external drive onto an iTunes window and they'll be available for syncing/streaming but still live on the external drive.
This is probably your simplest option. There is a keyboard shortcut which from memory is the option key which will temporarily not copy an added file when dragged to iTunes.
Or is there a way I can leave TV shows on the Apple TV without also copying them to my iMac?
Using the do not copy option in iTunes will achieve this with files on the external drive not on the iMac.
There is no manual drag and drop type way of filling AppleTV with media which is a shame if you don't have the external drive.
You can in fact delete the file in the itunes Music folder manually from Finder and this will not remove them from the database - iTunes will complain if you try to play them or stream them but if synced to AppleTv you can play them from there. I do not recommend this approach, and you must not delete the file entry from iTunes or it will then also delete from AppleTV.
My Apple TV is 160gb so there must be a way of using that memory without jamming up my iMac.
The 160GB is mainly indtended to allow you to have more stuff on AppleTV so that youd odn't need itunes running all the time, or perhaps ifyour network doesn't allow smooth steaming.
It is not a backup and must not be regarded as external storage - many people assume it's storage and then lose their files when their computer's hard drive or external fails if they have no backup. Sorry to repeat this but it's important.
I've looked in the manual but haven't found an answer to this situation.
It's not particularly detailed is it.
Hope that helps.
There are some other options to consider too.

I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw
There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

[t431s] Code 28 in Device Manager for all external storage.
I'm using Windows 8.1 on a t431s. I'm having this problem where none of my external storage is being recognized. Under "Device Manager" any sort of external storage I plug in ends up under "Other devices". When I click on the device, I get Code 28 "The drivers for this device are not installed." Trying to update the driver brings me nowhere. The devices don't appear under disk management.
What's weird is that other USB peripherals such as mice and USB headphones don't have any problem.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Updated the BIOS.
Used Lenovo's SCCM package for Windows 8.1
Tried installing the individual drivers for each hard drive.
Nothing works! What's going on here?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi, Buggy
After doing a bit of research. It seems your not the only one with this issue. WD has had this issue with even Windows 7 since 2012 with other Passport models.
I honestly recommend seeking support with WD about this issue if you have not done so already as the ones who where able to fix this issue did so with updated drivers from WD.

WRT1900AC External Storage and Windows 8.1
I just upgraded this router after Time Warner gave me a free upgrade to 200 Mbps.
Everything is faster, make that FASTER!!!
My new laptop got 206 Mbps on wireless 5.0 GHz.
But, the laptop is running Windows 8.1, and I think that is the External Storage issue.
I plugged a 32GB USB3 thumb drive and a 1TB hard drive into both USB1 and USB2 with the same result.
On My Desktop I see an icon for the Twonky Media Server and a file folder for the external storage.
On my laptop I see the Twonky icon, but no file folder.
The laptop can music, video, and pictures. But it has no way to access any non media files.
The desktop has a "Home" network, but the Windows 8.1 laptop has a "Private" network.
I set the laptop to share, and can transfer back and forth between the two computers.
I don't see this as a deal breaker, but it would nice to get it working.
I have no experience networking Windows 8/8.1. I was a Windows 7 fanboy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.To access none media files from any computer on your network. Look in the router's storage section and use the links provided there to access the files.

I am out of space on my Macbook Air and have a Time Machine Backup. I want to complete reset my mac, but wonder if I can pick and choose what I restore to my computer? Can I also use my time machine backup as external storage as well for the files I don't need everyday?
If you are using "Restore from Time Machine Backup" option from OS X Recovery, you can only choose from the broad categories presented.
... Can I also use my time machine backup as external storage as well for the files I don't need everyday?
To be clear, if you are asking if you can use the volume containing your Time Machine backup to store additional, non-Time Machine files, the short answer is yes.
It's not a good idea though, since the Time Machine backup will eventually fill all available space, after which it begins to remove old, "expired" backups to make room for newer ones. The presence of additional files doesn't change that fact, and Time Machine will not erase them, but you will encounter a dilemma should you want to store additional files on that volume when there is no remaining space. You will have to make room for them on your own, by deleting existing files. Furthermore, since Time Machine cannot back up its own volume, those additional files will not be backed up by Time Machine.
The easy solution for what you describe is to purchase additional external storage. External USB hard disk drives have become very inexpensive; about $55 will buy a perfectly suitable 1 TB drive.
You can also choose to replace your MacBook Air's internal storage with a larger capacity one. Look for a suitable replacement from OWC / MacSales:

That gets a little more expensive but it is the optimum solution. -
Time capsule as an external storage drive
I have the 2 TB time machine / time capsule router running my network. I use an external hard drive to store all of my photos from my IMac 24 as the storage space was filling up. The time capsule, from my understanding will not back up my external storage drive. Am I able to designate the time capsule as the external drive to store my Iphoto library on and be done with my other external storage drive? Essentially making the Time Capsule my external drive as well as my back up drive? I hope that made sense.
That shouldn't be done, but Time Machine will back that drive up as long as it's not set to be excluded in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences. As an iPhoto library can only be stored on a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, you'll be able to remove it from the exclusion list and use Time Machine to back it up unless you're using an unusual configuration.

Best tool to archive data from DW to external storage.
Hi,
I want to archive the data of couple of tables in DW at regular interval to some external storage. This archived file will be loaded in relational table again for read only processing later when required. These table's data has got retention period so data gets deleted after retention period. The table is partitioned on ACTION_DATE column.
I don't have access to filesystem on DW servers so will prefer to avoid to store any file on filesystem.
We are using Oracle 10.2.
Following are three options I can think of:
1) Use exp / imp tools to get data from required tables. I will be running this script daily so I can take data of one partition only (feature supported by exp/imp). I will want to import data in DW to some other table (table with different name to original table but same schema) when required sometime later for processing because of retention period issue. But imp do not support this option. Or at least I do not know of any .
2) Use expdb/impdb tools. It will help as it is faster to exp/imp and also it has REMAP_TABLE feature which can help me to load data in table with different name. But the problem with this approach is impdb/expdb requires/stores file on server (in this case DW servers ). As mentioned I am not preferring for this solution. If we have a convenient way to get the data on client side and put back on server when impdb has to be executed this option can be used. Or some other approach using expdb/impdb tools.
3) Use spool /sqlloader. Haven't explored a lot about this option yet. But am concerned about efficiency of this solution. Also the complexity of implementation with this approach. Spool will give required data in csv format and it will be loaded later using sqlloader.
Please help me with selecting an approach here. Also if anyone has a better solution for the above problem please do mention about the same.
Thanking in advance.
-Akshay.If all the photos etc. are on your iPhone, you can back them up after you get your SSD going. If there is more in the backup on your failing HD, you can try copying it manually.
TimLitch wrote:
I assume just syncing with the new SSD installed will wipe the phone..?
Not necessarily. In iTunes Preferences>Devices you can check the box "Prevent iPod, iPhone, iPad etc. from syncing automatically."
Then you can back up iPhone to your computer or iCloud.
In Internet Recovery you are given options -- to erase the hd or ssd and install Mavericks, or restore from Time Machine.
Before you do it you should make a note of your Superduper registration number in case you have to download it again. -
How to set up external storage in Oracle VM?
Hi,
We have oracle VM server 2.1.2 installed with the Oracle DB vm, and will need the Oracle DB access the external storage for better I/O perf. We'd need to install SAS Raid controller driver and Raidman software to configure the storage array, firstly, my understanding is that we can't install the dirver and sw to a virtual machine(oracle db vm) but would need to install them on the Oracle VM server, then create raw disk file on it and add it into the disk parameter in the "vm.cfg", after restart the oracle db vm, we suppose to be able to format and create partition in the oracle db vm. Please let me know if my understanding of configuration procedure as above is correct.
Second question is: Do we suppose to download driver and Raidman software for the RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 platform? Can the driver/sw versions on the Redhat enterprise linux 5 be used on Oracle VM server 2.1.2?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
JennyIf you are using OVM without a support license, you can try building the drivers from source. If you do have support for OVM, then open a Metalink SR to request the drivers you need. Adding drivers that were not originally included with OVM or provided for your OVM version by Oracle will void your support.
