How do I add multiple passwords to a FileVault2 external hard disk?

Hello,
On a boot volume, multiple users can have access to decrypt the disk - but with external disks it appears as though only a single password can grant access.
How can I enable a second passphrase to unlock a hard disk? Thanks.

Currently there's no way to add decryption keys to a non-boot volume.

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I use my time capsule as an external hard disk?

    Hi ,
    I hav en Airport Extreme 3 TB. I have done the setup. And it seems to working well. But I also want to use it as an external hard drive. When I go finder Shared folder I could not see Data folder in it. I have this screen. How can I see that folder.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I count 36 characters in your TC name.. This is not good.
    Please reduce the name to somewhere less than 10 characters if possible.. 20 at most.
    No spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    See C9 here for why the present name is bad.
    http://pondini.org/TM/C9.html
    Also if your wireless name is the same.. change it to short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric as well.
    Then manually mount your TC disk.
    In finder use top menu, Go/Connect to server.
    Type in AFP://TCname.local (TCname is your new short name. Local is the default domain).
    Or it can be even better to use IP if that doesn't change.. ie TC is in router mode.. and by default is 10.0.1.1 then
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Then apply and you will be asked for the TC disk password.. default is public but whatever it is you set. Make sure you save it in your keychain.
    The TC data share should then mount.
    And small comment about using the TC for files..
    TC is designed for Time Machine. It is not a NAS.. it has no backup.. it is slow to spin up and fast to spin down. Using live libraries will result in corruption and loss of your entire library in the case of iphoto.
    Please be very careful. Do not jump in and think very carefully. Time Machine cannot backup any network drives including the TC. You are going to have issues with backup if the TC is only location for your files.. it is unsuitable for this. CCC can backup to another drive.. but where will that be.. USB plugged into TC you will experience new visions of pain and suffering as the backup takes almost as long as digestion by a Sarlacc. 
    Pondini has some pointers here.

  • HT201269 How can I backup to store iphone on an external hard disk drive?

    I tried to backup my iphone, my pc did not have the storage, and I don't know how to find the select for external HDD. I dont know if this is possible to backup to external drive. I lost some of my phone contacts and now the contact list is in some alphabetical order that I find difficult to read.
    Can you tell me how to?
    I have Itunes program saved on my laptop but there is not enough storage space available to backup all my iphone info to the laptop, that is why I want to direct the storage onto the HDD.
    Do I need to download Itunes again and select save to my HDD to get the extra space?

    You just have to find the backup file on your computer and moveor copy  the file to where you want it but remember if you want to restore from that backup itunes needs to be able to find it so you will need to make sure it is in its orginal location

  • How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

    How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

    Jer&Renee,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It depends where you want them in your presentation.
    Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
    Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

  • How do I add multiple addresses/contacts in an email tread to my contact list without having to enter each at a time?

    How do I add multiple addresses/contacts in an email tread to my contact list without having to enter each at a time? I have AppleScript but don't see "add address" in any of the boxes/drop-downs. 

    Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

  • How do I add multiple iPads to my Apple ID

    How do I add multiple ipads to my Apple ID

    Should just plug it into iTunes and go. You'll just likely need to give each one a different name. That's what i did when I added my iPad to my iTouch on iTunes.
    When you plug them into the computer, give each  a different name and choose to either make them clones of each other (back up XXXX profile onto this iPad) or set each up as a new iPad.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    can you post a screenshot of the order window?
