How do I transfer my photos to a seagate storage device

I have a seagate storage device attached to the usb, it is displaying all of it's content so I figured it's working...but I don't know how to transfer the photos from my computer over to it. When I highlight and drag there is the "O" with the line crossed through it displaying over the seagate line. I also tried to copy the pictures and then enter the seagate and paste the pics into the folder, NOPE.
So is this one of those annoying apple things were if I'm not copying to another apple or to an ipad or an iphone, etc, it just won't let me? Am I limited to a CD at this point? Because I have videos to transfer as well. That will be a PITA if I need to use 20 CDs to get them from my comp.....
Any suggestions? It's a 250GB seagate device.

What format is the Seagate drive? If you go to it's icon on the desktop and do a 'Get Info", does it say 'NTFS'?
If it does, that's one format that macs can't write to natively. You can buy this software (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/) but if you're going to be using the drive alot then you should consider wiping the drive (after backing up obviously) and formatting it as Mac, FAT32 or exFAT.

  • How can I transfer my photos/events to other Mac Devices?

    I seem to be stuck here.....I have two iMac's and an Macbook Pro (all 2009 or newer) and on my primary desktop I have all of my photos organized into events and everything on iPhoto.
    Now, I want to transfer all of those photos/events onto my other Mac computers.  I have an external hard drive but when I try to copy the photos to the hard drive, it does that but it can't copy them in the events they are in.  It just copies every photo I have to one big folder, complete mess.
    Is there an easy way to do this?  I simply want to take all the pictures in my iPhoto on the computer downstairs and transfer them to my other iMac and Macbook Pro while keeping them organized in the "events" and "faces" and "places" folders as they are on iPhoto on the primary.
    Thank You!

    Kinda new to this so pardon me but how do I drag the iPhoto Library itself?  Where is that located? 
    Actually....I think I may have it.
    That iPhoto Library icon, just drag that to the external and then transfer it from the External to the other devices "Pictures" folder??  Then I should be able to just start iPhoto from the toolbar and it will all be there?

    How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

    You need to clarify what you are asking.
    An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
    So when you say:
    I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac.  There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
    It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I transfer my photo's to lightroom from my iPhone?

    How do I transfer my photo's to lightroom from my iPhone?

    Welcome to the Apple community Brooke31.
    Turn on photo stream on both devices, settings > iCloud on the phone, system preferences > iCloud on the Mac.
    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
    You should connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and import any photos taken pre-activation manually.

  • How do I transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung phone GT S5830i ?

    Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies.  I've uninstalled Kies.  I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac.  Many thanks in anticipation,  Derek.

    You can export the image from iPhoto to the desktop
    File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.

  • HT201317 How do I transfer a photo from my pc to my iphone?

    How do I transfer a photo from my pc to my iphone? My other iphone could do that but this new one is not letting me transfer from the pc to the phone.

    Make sure you signed in the same iCloud account on your phone (Settings>iCloud) and on your PC (on the iCloud control panel for Windows) and that you have turned on photo stream on both devices.  Also make sure you are putting the photo you want to add to photo stream in the photo stream uploads folder on your PC.

  • HT4559 how do I transfer a photo from my PC to my new ipad2 ?

    how do I transfer a photo from my PC to my new 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; DSCN0164.jpg).
    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. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
     Cheers, Tom

    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.

  • How do I : Transfer camera photos to computer and then E-mail to someone.( Power Shot 160 IS)

    HOW DO I :  Transfer camera photos taken ( POWER Shot 160 IS) to computer and then E-Mail the out.

    Hi BobHopkins!
    Thank you for posting.
    First, you will need to install the software that came with your camera.  Then, connect your camera and power it on in playback.  Use the Canon software to download the images from your camera.
    Once the images are on your computer, there are a couple of ways to e-mail them.  Canon's ImageBrowser EX has an e-mail option in it that you can use simply by selecting the images you want to e-mail, clicking on the Share button, then selecting Email Images.
    Otherwise, you can open your favorite e-mail application, then use the appropriate options in that application to attach images to a new e-mail.
