File transfers from external to mac osx laptop

I accedently deleted an albulm in Iphoto and it is on my WD external drive which was backed up several days before this occured however I had 2 libraries the album was in Library 1 and I do not want all of the photos just the albulm and I have all my photos I want in Library 2 is there a way to just transfer that item. Also I had to import all photos from Librbary 1 into Library 2 then I deleted L1 is there a way to go into my external and find out how many phots were in the L2 before I added more

I think you are going to have to recovery the complete iPhoto database from Time Machine and then use iPhoto on the recovered database to get the photos you want.

  • Why cant I delete some Folders / Files transfered from external HD? to!

    I am trying to figure out why I cant delete some folders / files, that I transfered from an external HD to my Macbook!
    Some of these folder / files are text, video, and pic's based. Surely, going through those video / pics / text files, those I dont need anymore I would like to delete. Some of these appear to be deleted (in trash).  But few days later I do realize, that they were not delete, or only few of the deleted files were properly deleted!
    Why is this, this way - and how can I solve this issues! I just want to delete stuff either in form of folders or files, that I dont need anymore!

    How are you trying to transfer them? What kind of external device?

  • Easier file transfers from PC to Mac with Bluetooth

    After trying in vain to get a network connection between my PC and Mac (lots of problems I don't need to get into), I realized I could use a spare DLink Bluetooth adapter on my PC to connect to my bluetooth-enabled MacBook Pro.
    I am now able to send files back and forth between the computers, but it's a tedious process.
    Is there anyway with Bluetooth to create a shared visible folder on one of the computers and to do file transfers by dragging and dropping?

    Hello, How are you? I am soooo stressed and need some help.

  • Files transferred from external hard drive (backed up from pc) are locked. Can't unlock & can't delete them from Mac now.

    I just picked up a new Mac and have been trying to transfer files backed up to an external hard drive from a PC. I was able to transfer some of the files without issue, but most of the files show that they are locked. Now that they are on the Mac I can't unlock or delete them.

  • How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

    hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
    So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
    ... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
    So Help me..
    My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
    Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

    You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
    When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened?  It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive.  On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled.  CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
    Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
    Good luck!

  • HT4889 How do I get the files that transferred from my old mac to this new mac to all merge so I am not using 2 set ups? In other words, I have stuff on the "new mac" and everything else on the "old mac" even though they are on the same computer.

    I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac.  I need everything merged to one account.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

    As for Excel, checked microsoft office community?

    Vista has its own ownership permission flags. Maybe if you modify the file or a copy first, and then copy.

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

  • I am looking to turn my iPad into a portable device to store and view multiple files transferred from my pc. I have tried some apps but it does not support multiple sub folder transfers.  Any suggestions please?

    I am looking to turn my iPad into a portable device to store and view multiple files transferred from my pc. I have tried some apps but it does not support multiple sub folder transfers.  Any suggestions please?

    I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

    Hi Irosenth
    Thanks for the answer. I am not sure I understand your question though.
    We have a collection of reader enabled pdfs that the user can open in a webbrowsercomponent in a .Net winform.
    We used to (Reader 9.4 and before) replace the Readers "save pdf" button with our own "save pdf" button that
    - saves the pdf
    - exports its data as xml
    - send a message to the .Net winform that the pdf has been saved.
    We implemented our own save button and its functions using a plug-in.
    Now I can't find our "save pdf" button in Reader X. That is my problem.
    So I try to create a new toolbar and place our "save pdf" on this new toolbar as you adviced me.
    I expect the toolbar to show up in the Tools pane in the webbrowser component in Reader X.
    But it doesn't. There is no Tools pane when I open the PDF in the webbrowser.
    (btw all the keyboard shortcuts we have created in the plugin (ie CTRL, ALT, L) works fine - so the plugin generally works).
    When I couldn't find my toolbar with its button in the webrowser, I tried to open one of the reader enabled pdfs in the Reader X as a standalone application.
    This was just as a test to see if it worked any different from the browser plugin. It is not part of our use case.
    But I noticed that in the standalone Reader X I do have a Tools pane, and my new toolbar but no "save pdf" button.
    This is how it looked with Reader 9.4 and before:
    OK the red text in the screenshot is quite difficult to read. It says (from above)
    "We have replaced the Readers save button with our own save button in the plugin.
    This is the (selvcreated save) button I miss in Reader X"
    "This is a Reader enabled PDF shown in a webbrowser component in a .Net Winform"
    "The users only have the Reader, not Acrobat"
    Best regards

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

    Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • HT201317 Privacy concerns having files transferred from old Mac to new Mac.

    I am buying a new Mac. I was told that all of my files and photos on my old Mac could be transferred to my new Mac if I left both Macs at the Apple Store for a couple of days. To be honest, I am concerned about privacy issues. Is there is a way to remove files and photos to iCloud and off the old Mac before taking it to the Apple Store?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't use iCloud to do this.
    Moving information from one Mac to another is quite simple and you could do it yourself.
