How do I retrieve pictures from my external hard drive?

Took my mac in for repair and it was scrubbed clean, fortunatly everything was backed up to an external hard drive (GDrive mobile) how do I retrieve all my photos and put them back into iPhoto?

If your hard drive can be detected and shows up as a drive letter in my computer but you can't access your files,then you can recover your data off it with data recovery software easily.This way is the easiest and the most inexpensive way to recover your data.If you bring it to a computer repair shop that is available for data recovery servise,they will cost you $500-1000 or more.Hmm, a lot of money.
I managed to recover data from crashed hard drive with Tenorshare Data Recovery.If needed,you can download it and scan your hard drive for free to preview whether your data can be recovered.It will show you thumbnails for recoverable pictures.

    Stop using the drive immediately, un plug it.
    Buy a copy of ProSoft DataRescue 4 and use it to search for deleted files.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • How do I input songs from my external hard drive (taken from a PC) and transfer them to my Mac?

    How do I input songs from my external hard drive, taken from a PC, to a Mac?

    Just a few song tracks, or your whole library?  If just a few tracks, drag them from the drive to the open iTunes library window or playlist window.  If your whole library drag the whole iTunes folder to your computer.  Hold down the option key while starting and guide it to the library.itl file in that folder.  If you need to merge libraries post back because that's a much longer post.

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
     Cheers, Tom

    What files are they? Is it a clone, a TM backup, or simply drag 'n drop?

  • Duplicated photos when importing pictures from an external hard drive

    I've just bought a Macbook Air and am trying to import all of my photos from an external hard drive (I was previously using Windows 7).
    I started off by importing them to iPhoto but lost all of my folders and found it hard to organise the pictures so then stopped doing that, deleted all the pictures and started again. My next attempt was to open 'Pictures' in the Finder window and I then dragged and dropped the folders of photos from my external drive into this window. The pictures all copied inside the folders but as well as the original photo it's also created another folder for each picture with the same name as the photo but ending in .files. Inside the file is two additional copies of each folder starting with the name 'vcm_s_'. One photo seems to be a high res version and the lower a low res version. See an example of this below:
    Anyone have any idea why it's created these folders and how I stop it happening?
    Thank you!

    Thomas
    Drag them to the iPhoto Window or use the File -> Import command.
    Regards

  • How can I add media from an external hard drive into Premiere Elements? Please answer.

    Alright, so I have looked all over the website and the way adobe's frequently asked questions about adding media did nothing for me. I am editing a large full length video in premiere elements 13 and so I would like to add media from my external hard drive and edit from that location. Is that possible? Because I do not have enough space on my laptop to keep hundreds and hundreds of GB of videos on my internal hard drive. I have looked on how to add media from the hard drive location and adobe says to add it using the files and folders tab, but when I select it to add it, it says I need to use the Video Importer. So I go to use the video importer and have no way of figuring out how to select my hard drive. Any ideas?

    Spencer WhiteOut
    Thank you for the follow up with the information
    it is a MacBook pro retina . OS X Operating system. External hard drive is connected by the USB cable. fat32.
    It is my understanding, whether you have Premiere Elements on Windows or Mac, if you have files on an external hard drive,  you do not select
    Add Media and head for a choice that includes Video Importer. Instead, you select Add Media/Files and Folders and navigate to the external hard drive to select your file(s) for import into the project.
    But, you seem to be saying that when you do you are met with a message to use the Video Importer. Does the message give you any other related information on why you are being detoured to Video Importer since Video Importer does not import from an external hard drive for me or you. It does for me using Add Media to get the files from my external hard drive into a project.  I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so my Mac information is from what I have read. Based on that...
    1. Please evaluate the format of your external hard drive. Please review the following if you have not considered this point before.
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os-x/
    There are many online articles on this matter which would point you away from Fat32 as the format for a external hard drive Mac.
    2. From what you wrote, you are not dealing with a DVD drive so I see no way to implicate one of them in this issue. You are dealing with an
    USB external hard drive and not a USB external DVD/CD drive. Correct?
    Please review and consider.
    We will be watch for further news from you.
    Thank you.
