How do i get a movie off my itunes to an external hard drive-wd passport?

I've got a WD passport 500gb, I can't transfer a movie downloaded onto Itunes to th wd passport.
Have tried transfering to desktop then to hard drive-doesn't work.
Any help?

You don't say how you are trying to transfer it nor why it isn't working.  There's mny ways of doing this, the details depending upon the exact scenario which we don't yet know.
One neat way is:

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive?

    How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive? I'm working on transferring my music from our home computer to my new laptop and I already got all my music onto the hard drive but now, when I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it doesn't recognize it. There isn't an icon that pops up and nothing happens at all. The blue light on the hard drive that indicates that it knows it is plugged into something comes up but that's about it. Someone told me I might have to "format" it but I don't know what that means and I don't know how to do it. I just want to get my music from the hard drive to my laptop so please help!

    I don't know about your first question... I went to finder, preferences, then general but I didn't see anything for the hard drive. 
    Huh, in the Finder menu, Preferences, you will see this:
    Nope, disk utility cannot see it. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but it still won't recognize it.puter that's a Mac...
    If DU cannot see it then the preferences is just an academic exercise.
    If this is a USB drive then as mentioned above you may need a powered USB hub since there may not be enough power from the USB to run the drive.  What else do you have plugged into the USB ports?  If there's some stuff you can unplug it then do it and see if your drive mounts.
    What do you mean from a Windows machine? It's a Toshiba hard drive and I put my music on it from my home computer that's a Mac...
    Which is all I wanted to know, i.e., whether the drive came from a Winows machine.  So it's been formatted and created on a mac.  Therefore it should mount on this other mac machine.  So it most likely is a power problem.

    How do I save my purchased music from Itunes to a external hard drive so I dont lose it?

    Right-click(Windows) or control-click(Mac) any item in the iTunes library other than a rented movie, reveal it in the Windows Explorer or Finder, and navigate up the folder hierarchy.

  • How do I get Photoshop Elememnts 7.0 to read my external hard drive?

    I have a signature 500 gp hard drive that pse 7.0 will not find or read.  In order for me back up photos I must do it through Digital Photo Professional or trhough Windows.  No matter what I try i cannot seem to get pse to read the external hard drive.  Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

    Just to be sure...I'm reading your post as your external is not available in the navigation list.
    I'm assuming the USB (or firewire) is connected to your computer. I have a couple and have on occasion turned one on and had the USB plugged in for the one that was off.
    This next link probably isn't going to help as it's how to navigate to an external...but I'll include it anyway.

    Not sure what else it can be assuming the external is good and doesn't have any compatibility issues with your OS or Elements.  Hopefully, someone else will pipe up if they have any ideas.

  • How do I transfer downloaded movies from my iMac to my external hard drive?

    Hi folks
    I am trying to transfer movies downloaded to my iMac 7 on to my external hard drive. How do I go about this. Many thanks in advance

    No not an error message. Whilst I am transferring the document there is "o" with a strike through it and this symbol is carried along with the file that I am transferring (if ya know what I mean). It may actually be my actual hard drive. For example,  I tried to rename the hard drive and right clicked on it and went to the "get info" tab and,  where I should be able to change the title of the hard drive,  it is greyed out and cannot change the name.
    But I am more concerned with transferring files to my hard drive to be honest.
    Thanks

  • How do I get the pictures from my iPhoto on my external Hard Drive to show up in the already existing iPhoto on my MacBook?

    I have an early 2008 MacBook. I had been using iPhoto on this MacBook until I purchased an iMac in 2011, at which time I copied my iPhoto Library from my MacBook to my iMac. Then I realized that my pictures and music were consuming the memory on my iMac, so I moved iPhoto and my iTunes LIbrary to an external Hard Drive. Now I am in a situation where I do not have access to my iMac, but will need to use my MacBook as my main computer for the next year. So, I have my iPhoto on an external hard drive and I plug it into my MacBook and see the iPhoto Library folder, but when I click on it, it opens up the old iPhoto that is still existing on my MacBook and will not show any of the new pictures?! At first I thought it wasn't able to show up anything because my MacBook was running two operating systems behind what my iMac was when I was running my iPhoto Library from that computer. So, I upgraded to OS X 10.7.5 and upgraded the existing iPhoto on my MacBook to iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. However whenever I plug in the external hard drive and click on the iPhoto Library folder to open it up, it is still just opening up the already existing iPhoto on the MacBook (with my older pictures) rather than the iPhoto on the hard drive (with my newer pictures). How can I access my pictures that are on my external hard drive?

    Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

  • How do I get rid of a partition in a LaCie external hard drive?

    I just bought a new LaCie 1 TB external hard drive and while setting it up I didn't realize that by default it set a 200 GB Windows partition. I really would like to get rid of it since I am a 100% Mac user but don't know how to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Niel.
    thank you very much for your help! FWIW (for what it's worth) I found a way to resolve this problem and it has worked for me. Here is the link to the site where I got the solution:

  • How do i get everything form now on saved onto my external hard drive?

    i only have 7 gb on my comptuers hd i have a 500 gb external ahrd drive connected. how do i make verything automatically save onto the external? thanks..

    You can use the following instructions(iTunes, iPhoto) to move the libraries to the external drive.
    You can also drag your home folder to the external drive in the Finder and then change the home property for your user account in the NetInfo Manager, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, if you need more space. When changed, this property should be along the lines of /Volumes/externaldrive/Users/yourname. If this is done, you should create a second account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences in case you run into trouble or the drive isn't available.
    Additional space can be freed up by deleting items in the /Library/Packages/ and /Library/Printers/ folders you don't use, and running Monolingual to delete unnecessary languages. Don't use Monolingual to delete any architectures on an Intel Mac; the PowerPC architecture is necessary for Rosetta applications to run.

  • How do I get my code off my iTunes card, if its been scratched off?

    How do I get my code off my iTunes gift card, if the code was scratched off????????? Please someone give me some feed back! This is my 100th time trying to get an answer.

    If your talking about the actual number that has been scratched off then toss it, it's now just a piece of plastic with some pretty writing on it. That number is what gives it value, with out it Apple wouldn't know what to do with it.
    Try here for more answers possibly.
    You might try e-mailing Apple directly and asking them as this is just a user to user forum, Apple just hosts it, they don't participate.
