Any suggestions on how to properly format and drag into this lttle guy would be great.
1. go into FINDER at top then PREFERENCES  then GENERAL tab
then check "hard disks" and "external disks"
THIS WILL PUT A HD ICON ON YOUR DESKTOP YOU CAN OPEN AND DRAG AND DROP FILES TO
Your new HD needs to be formatted for use on your Mac, so:
2. TO FORMAT THE HD:
Applications > utilities > disk utility
go to DISK UTILITY and verify what it says your HD is formatted as under the "ERASE" tab
see from mine below, HD on left selected,   .......ERASE tab highlighted.... and middle right roughly, it says "MAC OSX EXTENDED JOURNALED"
thats the format,  but yours may be different of course
bottom right ERASE tab lets you erase/ FORMAT your external  (remember this erases all data ON THE HD!)
Format/erase it as: "MAC OSX EXTENDED JOURNALED"
highlighted in RED   Erase.......format (middle) ...........erase ACTION to Erase/Format (bottom)
Now you can drag and drop files

  • HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

    I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

    Thanks Turingtest2,
    I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it.  I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
    However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then.  Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
    It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
    If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

  • How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

    So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
    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.

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from Itunes?

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Apple physically replaced the HD on my Imac.  I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive for Mac.  I went through the motions to restore my Iphoto Library back to my computer. Can't find them!!!!!

    Apple replaced my hard drive on my Imac.  I'm lucky I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive via Time Machine .  I followed directions in order to restore my iphoto library , but I can't seem to find it on my computer.  Are the files locked?

    No reason to assume they are locked. The library will be restored to the location it was backed up from, unless you specified somewhere else. Have you looked in your Pictures Folder?

  • How can I transfer all the information (programs, files, etc..) from my ipad to my new ipad?

    Hello somebody can help me? I bought a new ipad and I need to transfer all the information, documents, etc.. from my old ipad to the new one how can I do that?

    You need to back up your current iPad either to your computer, or if you are on the cloud to the cloud.  Then when you go to set up your new iPad, you'll either restore it from the computer (iTunes backup) or if you back up to the cloud, wirelessly from the cloud.  The new device will give you the option to restore from a cloud backup if you are using the cloud.

  • I have backed up 3 apple phones to my itunes, how do i ensure all the information (photos, contacts etc) is available on my current iphone?

    Good evening
    I have 4 iphones backed up on my itunes account.
    How can I ensure that all the information is on my current version i.e. contact and photos etc, I seem to be missing bits and bobs and certain contacts seem to disappear when icloud in enabled.
    Any ideas?
    Regards JHJ

    It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

    I ended up purchasing a firewire plug and restarted my old computer holding down "T" and it came up as a hard drive on my new computer
    from there i just clicked and dragged my itunes music folder onto the new itunes icon and 7000 songs transferred in about 20 minutes!
    i then just dragged over my favorite apps as well and everything went smoothly.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • How do I get all the information to set up an email on my iPhone?

    For example. I'm trying to set up my college email. How do I know what the Host name  for the incoming server and the Outgoing server host name?

    You would get that information from the college IT department. They will provide you with the information you need to set it up. It may be on the college's website, depending on how they may post it. It should say something to the affect of "setting up student email on mobile devices".
