Hello. I have MacBook Pro. I have 30,000 photos on iPhoto which is not on the hard drive but on an external hard drive. I have purchased a 2nd external hard drive and I would like to make a copy of my iphoto library onto it. I cant get this to work.

I have MacBook Pro. I have my iPhoto library on external hard drive only. It has 30,000 photos on it. I have bought a 2nd external hard drive and would like to copy my iPhoto library onto it as a back up. I tried plugging both in and dragging the iPhoto library into the 2nd external harddrive. It looked as though it was working as it said 20 hours, however I then got a message box saying FiNader could not complete the task due to incompatible files. How do I do this please.

Yes, you should format the HD.
A Mac can natively write to a NTSF drive and that is what most drives com formatted with.
You should use the Mac journaled format.
Once again you are posting incorrect information
Until we know what format the drive is it is impossible to state that it must be formatted - that is just a guess
And a Mac can not Natively write to an NTSF drive - it can natively read it but can not write to it with special software
And since formatting a drive erases it it is critical to tell users not to format until they have a positively known good backup
The TOU for these forum state that you should test your answers prior to posting them  --  you obviously are not doing that and you advice is endangering users photos - please only post tested answers

  • I have a 13" mac book pro with a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put in a larger one is this possible

    I own a Mac book Pro 13" it has a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put a larger one in is this possible.

    You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
    If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
    You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
    I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

  • I have 5 computers authorized on my account and I would like to deauthorize all of them. When I try it tells me I cannot do so until January 2016. Is there a way around this? I no longer have access to the computers that are authorized.

    Did you recently deauthorize a bunch of computers?  You can only deauthorize all once  year.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

  • I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    You're welcome.
    I would advise against that for the reasons I provided.
    Could I have my iPad 2 for the new one paying the difference between their values?
    No. Sell the existing yourself and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPad.

  • I have a black border around my video and I would like it to be full screeen

    I am running Premier Elements 10 on a PC and I am getting a black boarder around the video and I have rendered it multiple ways.   Is there a way to get it gone?  This is the link for youtube.  HCC 2014 video Final - YouTube
    Thank you
    Bruce

    Answers in CAPS.  But from playing with the file, it does not appear that I can get rid of the black border.   I would have to start again from scratch.    I tried a FV4 file format and a AVCHD.mp4 format and they both have black borders.   Any other suggestions on how to get rid of the border, or is it impossible at this point.

    created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionBruceKeenan Thank you for the reply with a lot of important details. With a 99.9999% certainty, I believe you issue is thata. you used 4:3 project settings for 16:9 source mediab. when you imported that 16:9 source media you used it as is without scalingit to get rid of the black border at the top and bottom of the frame caused by the 16:9 source ina 4:3 project. Apparently when you opened the new project, you accepted the default which is NTSC DV Standard 4:3 insteadof changing that to the project preset that would best match the properties of your source 16:9. For you to check out... a. Open a new project and, in the new project dialog, click on change settings, followed bychanging the project preset toNTSCDSLR1080pDSLR [email protected]   
    I OPENED A NEW PROJECT AND THE STANDARD SET WAS NTSC-DV-STANDARD-48kHz WHICH IS MY PROBLEM AS YOU POINTED OUT.    
     b. If you really want a F4V file HD, thenShareComputerAdobe Flash Videowith Presets = F4V - HD1080p (Flash 9 and Higher) If you want a MPEG2 file (SD), thenShareComputerMPEGSwith Presets = NTSC DVD Widescreen If you want a MPEG2 file (HD), thenShareComputerMPEG2with Presets = HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality If you want to explore with an AVCHD.mp4 file (HD), thenShareComputerAVCHDwith Presets =  MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 Lots to explore. And, there should be no black borders anywhere. If any questions or needclarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you. ATR Please note that the Adobe Forums do not accept email attachments.

  • Hi to everybody, I'm new of the community and I'd like to know if anybody could help me with this issue. I have differente itunes libraries stored in differente hard disks, and I' d like to merge them all in one unique library

    Hi, I' m new of the community and I hope I'm not asking something that has been already discussed. I have different iTunes libraries on different hard disks and I would like to merge them in an unique library - mantaining all the metadata - so that I can use this new one with iTunes Match. Could anybody help me?

    Alison 1231, your question is not identical to the original poster's so perhaps you could start a new topic with the question since the answers will be different and not apply to the OP's post.

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • When I open a new tab, there are 9 tiles that I am assuming should have 9 sites you've either been to or would like to make as favorites. I can't figure out how

    when I open a new tab, there are 9 tiles that I am assuming should have 9 sites you've either been to or would like to make as favorites. I can't figure out how to drag a favorite into one of the tiles.

    I've done this before. When I drag a bookmark to a new tab , all it does is opens up that book mark on that page , it doesn't place and save
    it in the tile

  • I have a MacBook Air, Late 2010 and would like to make complete copy of, what is best method?

    I have a MacBook Air, Late 2010, and would like to make a complete copy of everything on it. Unsure sure of best external device to purchase or if possible? Can you assist? Thanks

    You will need at least one hard drive. It can be external in its own enclosure with USB 3.0 or 2.0 cable, or an internal HD with a docking station and USB connection. If you live in the U.S., Other World Computing (OWC) is a good place to buy one. You can also get them at Amazon or eBay or any number of places. You will also need cloning software, such as Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner. You also have Time Machine on your MBA. It is better to have more than one spare disk for backup as HDs can fail at any time.
    Regards.
