How do I transfer data/videos from a Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to a Windows-formatted portable hard drive?

I was trying to drag-and-drop the contents (most of them are downloaded torrent movies) of my Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to my Windows-formatted portable hard drive. It didn't work. How do I go about this?

Hi FornPLAY,
Your Mac will not be able to write to an NTSF formatted drive, as Mac OS X only supports reading from NTSF natively. You have a few options to be able to use that Windows formatted drive.  You could try reformatting the drive using Disk Utilty to a format like MS-DOS (FAT).  That would allow for both Mac and Windows cross-compatibility.

  • How do I transfer a video from Mac to Ipad

    How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

    You could email it to yourself or if you are talking about lots of photos:
    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device.

    the commercial is deceiving to me. i am not the most techy person and i thought that you could share full song playlist which to me meant the songs also. that is all, it wasnt anything you had said but i am really thankful you enlightened me because i would still be racking my brain trying to figure out how to do it.
    You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

  • Help! I can't transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad.

    Help! I cannot transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad. I simply want to transfer individual music videos from my Mac, but my iPad will not allow it. As soon as I check the box that says 'include music videos' my ipad says that I do not have enough space, which would be true if I wished to transfer all my videos. However, I only wish to transfer a few, something that I have done many times before. I then unchecked the 'include music videos' box, and of course, I could not transfer a single video, despite having plenty of free space. Please help!

    Wendy-
    All of my digital cameras seem to work OK with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I've read several similar reports here.  One thing to consider is whether your camera's battery is fully charged.  I doubt it matters, but might explain if it works sometimes and not others.
    I suggest you use a camera card-to-USB adapter to do the transfers.  I've tried several that worked.  The ones that drew too much current were the "universal" types that have several different card slots.  A camera store should carry an adapter, and may let you try it.  The ones I tried that draw too much current, were bad even without a card connected.

  • How do i transfer the images from my mac book pro to my tv

    I have all the cords HDMI and adapter how do i transfer the image from my mac book pro version 10.6.8

    What do you mean transfer? You can't copy files with an hdmi cable. If you mean display them on your tv, that's another story.
    When the hdmi cable is connect you should see your tv and macbook flash blue. After this your tv is setup as an extra screen. Move anything you want to the right on your macbook screen and they will appear on the tv.

  • How do I transfer "date added" from one iTunes library to another?

    I recently transfered my iTunes library from one Mac to another w/ no problem, however all of the dates in the date added column show the date of the library transfer and not the original date the music was imported into iTunes. Is there any way to retrieve or preserve the original dates? I know, not a "real' problem, but a concern for me nonetheless.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Generally it is not advised to have multiple Photo libraries - but if you do you need IPLM to manage them

  • How do I transfer HD video from my itouch 4 to my pc?

    I have a new itouch.
    I've created some home videos.
    How do I get those videos copied over to my Windows 7 PC?  I tried to use the 'sync folder' button for pictures and checked the box for videos as well but all that appears is a "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
    I've read that people suggest winamp or other utilities, but come on apple, I should be able to pull that HD video that "I" recorded directly to my PC so I can edit it with my video editing software.... should I?  I do own that video.. don't I or is it property of apple now?
    Thanks for the help

  • Does anyone know how to wirelessly transfer photos/videos from iphone to iPad?

    I need help transferring photos and videos from my iphone to my ipad.  Any suggestions?

    If they were synced from iTunes you can use that.  If they were taken with the iPhone you'll need to download thme to a computer, and then sync them up to the iPad.
    Alternatively you can use Photostream to make them available to the iPad, or use an online service such as Dropbox, or Photobucket to view them on the iPad

  • How do I transfer my library from this mac to a new mac

    How do I transfer my itunes library from this MacBook Pro to a new one?  I am using an iPod Touch...

    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
