    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How to edit (read/write) an external hard drive that is attached to a router

    Hi everyone.
    I have Macbook Air (2013) with OSX 10.9 Maverics, and Netgear WNDR4500 router with WD external hard drive attached to it. My problem is that I don’t have writing permissions. When I’m trying to change something in the hard drive, it says “The operation can’t be completed, because you don’t have necessary permission”. Under Get info / Sharing & Permissions, it just says “You have custom access”, and there is no option to change privileges to “Read & Write”.
    I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
    Thanks!

    I don't use TM, but as far as I know, the only way it will work wirelessly is with a Time Capsule. Check the info here:

    which is from one of the subheadings here:
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I would guess that you'd be able to write to the drive once you have it attached via a cable (FW, USB, etc) to your Mac (not your router).

  • How can I use my external hard drive on my mac and a windows computer?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help...I have recently purchased a new external hard drive for my macbook pro, it is a 1TB hard drive. I use it for time machine back ups which only takes up about 250gb of space so obviously I have a lot more to use. I'm at University and the computers there are Windows so I'm hoping to be able to drag my uni work to my external HD and connect it to the windows computers at my university so that I have my work there as well - however I'm not sure how I should format my HD???
    Thanks

    You will eventually use all of that 1TB external for the Time Machine backups, that is if you do regular Time Machine backups (It is NOT a One Time thing). So using that same external for anything else is not a good idea.
    You would be much better off buying a large USB thumb drive, like 64GBs in size, and format that to one of the Windows formates that both Mac OS X and Windows can read from and write to. Those would be FAT32 and exFAT. If you are moving file less than 4GBs in size then format it FAT32. You can then copy files to it from your Mac and Read those files on the Windows PCs the school has and just stick that Thumb drive in your pocket.

  • How do I format a portable Hard drive for both mac and pc?

    I have searched and came up with this answer which doesnt make too much sense to me 
    ( Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.)
    I have a La Cie rugged poerable HD  I want to copy media files from both my work Pc and my home mac to it, and then plug it into my TVIX machine ( windows based media player) to access the files.  In simple terms, how do i do this? 
    TIA Wayno

    Yes, FAT is limited to 4GB. You can use exFat which does not have such limitations and works both on windows and mac. You may also stay with ntfs but with additional software such as ntfs for mac osx. 9.0 by paragon software. Using paragon software will give both access to read on write files on your hard drive on while used on your mac.

  • How to view a windows external hard drive on a mac?

    I have this windows xp laptop with an external hd attached to it. I want to be able to view and edit the files on that hard drive from my macbook over my wireless home network. How do I do this? How can I mount the hard drive on my macbook?

    Yes, an NTFS driver for MacOS is an option, but since the OP asked to do this over his wireless network, then your answer would not work, as they would need to unplug the drive from the XP system and connect it to the Mac (after downloading and installing the driver you referenced). The solution I gave allows them to read/write the NTFS drive without downloading or installing anything that they don't already have on their Mac (or PC).

  • How do I reformat the second hard drive in the Mac Mini Server (Late 2012)?

    In Disk Utility, I don't see the second hard drive, I only see the SSD that I installed myself in the main boot drive. How do I gain access to  reformat the second drive?

    Did you reinstall the OS after you installed the SSD?
    If so it would have created a Fusion drive that looks like one drive.
    If you go to System Report, what shows under the SATA bus? You should see both the SSD and the HD if it is recognized to some degree.

  • HT3226 how do i clean up my hard drive on my mac

    How can i clean up my mac

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • How to load files from a hard drive to my mac?, How to load files from a hard drive to my mac?

    I just got my first macbook a few days ago because my windows pc crashed. I have all my documents on the original hard drive, which I can plug into my mac. Is plugging in the hard drive just like plugging in a USB drive? Will I be able to chose the files I want on this mac, and which ones I don't? I'm very new to macs and I don't want to do anything that will potentially "mess up" my new computer.
    Some of the word docs are OpenOffice files (which I shouldn't have a problem saving onto my mac because I'm downloading openoffice), but some are also MS Office files as well. I currenlty can't afford to buy the MS Office software for my mac, so I'm going for pages. Will I be able to save my MS files to Pages without any format issues? Do I need to change the format of the docs so I can open and edit them in Pages? Thanks for the help!

  • How do I format an external hard drive to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?

    I am in Disc Utilities, but I can't figure out how to format my external drive. It is at 0, ready to go... Just need the steps...
    Thanks,
    Ham

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    The following process will erase everything on your external HD and reformat it to Mac OS journaled partition.
    1) open disk utilities application.
    2) click your external hard drive's name in the left column.
    3) select the "erase" tab in right.
    4) select "Mac OS X extended journalized" in local menu.
    5) click "erase button".
    Formatting a 250 Gig hd can take much than one hour...

  • How do I share an external hard drive with 3 macs

    On my gmac, I have an external hard drive that all my itunes music/videos are being saved to. I would like to give the other macs access to the itunes music but can not seem to network it. I have no problem logging on to any of the three computers and sharing/using folders from each mac but I can not get the other two computers to see my external hard drive. I tried using SharePoints but the issue seems to be that the external hard drive shows up at the "computer" level, whereas the networking shows up at the internal hard drive level. I've searched all over the boards but can't seem to find anything that helps me with this particular situation. I am using a SeaGate external hard drive that is formated as FAT32.

    Highlight the Share in Sharepoints>Normal Shares tab. Look down & right for the Windows (SMB) sharing and change it Shared(+). Click Update Share, Share should now show a + under SMB & AFS. Click the Little Show File System Properties button, set users & group, Permission, etc.,Update Share.
    That's the basics.

    Is there any way to physically move my windows 7 harddrive to my mac pro and have it boot under bootcamp?

    It is never a good idea to move to different hardware, even if it does seem okay and work.
    Why not try and see? and then ask what's next.
    Obviously you'll have to reactivate when it detects new hardware.

  • How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

    I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp 

    Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
    Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
    Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)
