How do I change settings on my external drive.

I can't move thing from my macbook to my external drive. Why? It's working on windows 7. And I can take things from ex.drive to macbook but not on it.,,

Depending on how the drive is formatted (likely NTFS) it will 'work' well on a Windows machine and you can copy files from it to your Mac, but you won't be able to copy files to it from your Mac without third-party software (such as Paragon's NTFS for Mac).
If you want to use it on both Macs and Windows machines, NTFS for Mac is probably the solution. If you want to use it only on a Mac, you'll need to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.

    Hi
    How do I change "Sharing & Persissions" on an external drive.  The drive has a note "You can only read".  My account is "read and write" > Fetching is "read and write" and > Everyone is "read only".  I want to change Everyone to "read and write".
    Thank you

    Using Firefox, I used to be able to open a document on a website, such as a bank statement, and view it without downloading.  Now, I must download and save a document before I can view it.  How can I change settings so that I can open documents without saving them first?

    Do you know what kind of docs they are? Did you upgrade/Update Firefox lately?

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

  • How do I sync music from an external drive

    I recently moved all my iTunes content including music to an external hard drive (multiple reasons: space, SONOS capability, etc.). In addition, I purchased a new iMac. I can wipe the nano, no problem, but how do I get music from the external drive that is not on my computer (but which iTunes will play via iCloud) onto the nano?
    Do I need to download everything back to my computer from iCloud and sync that way or is there some toggle I'm missing that allows me to load the external drive --> iTunes--> nano?
    Thanks!

    Jairy,
    You may need to run through the following steps:
    Once you've done that, follow the next set of steps to change your iTunes Media folder location to the new drive and then consolidate your library to the new location. This not only copies your audio and media files over, it also retains your ratings and playlists. Note: If you move your music and media to an external hard drive, you will need to have that drive connected to access your files. No matter what, it's always a good idea to have a backup of the media you have in iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced button in the Preferences window.
    Click the Change button in the iTunes Media folder location pane.
    In the Change Media Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new iTunes Media folder to be created.
    Note: By default, your iTunes Media folder is a folder named "iTunes Media" in ~/Music/iTunes/ where the tilde "~" represents your home directory.
    Click the New Folder button in the Change Media Folder Location window.
    In the New Folder window that appears, enter the name of the new iTunes Media folder.
    Click Create.
    Click Choose in the Change Media Folder Location window.
    Click OK in the Advanced window.
    From the File menu, choose Library and then Organize Library if using iTunes 9 or later. If you're using iTunes 7 or iTunes 8 for Mac, choose File > Library and then Consolidate Library.
    In the Organize Library (or Consolidate Library) window, select Consolidate files.
    Click OK.  Important: This action copies all of your music and media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your music and media files.
    After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Media folder, and drag it to the Trash. Important: Don't remove the iTunes Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Media folder. For more information about the iTunes Library files, see this article.
    Quit iTunes and then open iTunes once more.
    If you receive the alert "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," you most likely moved the iTunes Library files. If this is the case, move them out of the Trash and back to where they were.
    If you can open and close iTunes without encountering the above alert, empty the Trash.

    well i have windows xp running on bootcamp. i have my main library on my internal drive on my os x partition.

    Move the iTunes music folder to the desired location, and then drag it into the open iTunes window. iTunes itself must be on the startup disk.

    Files on an external hard drive open just like files on the internal drive - but I get the idea that you are having a problem just finding and seeing those files. Is that correct?
