  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • How to make a bootable backup on external hard disk?

    Hi guys, I want to ask how can make a backup of entire C(windows) drive on my external hard disk.I tried using backup option in my transcend hard drive
    software but it gave me some errors..So I used backup option C:>properties and made a backup on my hard disk.But I am not sure if I can restore from it if my windows crashes coz I don't know if I can use this backup file from boot.So here's what I need 
    1)To make backup in hdd without having to wipe the it. 
    2)To make the backup bootable incase my windows crashes, I should be able to restore all my C drive..

    Hi... I agree with your Number "2". I think that it is much better for you to install a backup tool e.g.aomei backupper (http://www.backup-utility.com/features/) and to forget about any possible troubles at all as the tool will backup everything you need and how you need, creating the whole image of the disk c which you can easily restore in case you have the crash.

  • How to Export pictures from iPhoto to external hard disk? Newbie here! Please help!

    Need your help guys. Just bought a new Macbook Pro. Loved using the iPhoto but after managing a lot of my photos, realised that I cannot export an edited photo from iphoto to my external hard disk. I am not sure what iphoto version I am running right now but my Mac is brand new and comes with the pre installed softwares. Whenever I try to export an event, folder or even a picture, I will get this message   unable to create/Volumes/FreeAgentDrive/ after going thru the Export process in iphoto. Please help!!!

    Your Mac can "read" data from an NTFS drive, but can't "write" files to it.
    If you intend to use this drive only on Mac computers, then, use Disk Utility to erase it and format for Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    If you want to be able to write files to the external drive AND still use it with Microsoft Windows computers, then, format it as MS DOS. (Or, on a Microsoft Windows computer, format the drive as Fat32. However, if you use Windows XP, be aware that the largest size you can do this with is 32Gb. Vista and Windows 7 doesn't have this limit.)
    Another option, do you have to use an external hard drive? What about a flash drive? 

  • How to take backup of database on external hard disk

    Hi Team,
    We have a server with three instances SOX,GRC and SM2. We have attached
    a external hard disk to take backup of database. While taking backup of
    any database it gives error as attached. We can take backup of
    transaction log on server's disk but not on external disk. Kindly have
    a look on attached error and advice us.We are taking backup at sql
    server level.
    version: SQL SERVER 2005 64 bit

    Hi Markus,
    >You can´t backup a 210 GB database on a 200 GB disk...
    We learn a lot every day on these Expert Forums !  
    In fact, it could even be possible if it's the database enveloppe which is 210 GB and the actual data is less than 200 GB !
    I dare to hope that it's not a production system which is backed up with an external disk...

  • How to use Final Cut pro with external hard drive?

    I have too little space on my computer so I have to use final cut pro x with an external hard drive, but whenever I have the hard drive plugged in and Final cut going, my computer goes very slow. I just upgraded to 16gb ram... but can't seem to run FCP x while an external hard drive is plugged in. FCP just freezes up and I have to force quit.

    all the files and events in final cut are still on my internal, so my internal drive is still full.... Do I have to go and delete everything off my internal?
    In addition to the excellent advice to keep your media on an external HDD, you need to make sure that your system (boot) drive has a decent amount of free space if you want to have a satisfactory editing experience. Many people recommend not going below 20% free space. That's especially so for the boot drive, but as you fill up the external, its performance will also slow. Ideally, we would have separate media and backup drives,
    You don't need to "delete everything". Rather, you first figure out what needs to be moved. You copy those files to the other drive and then verify that all the files you copied are in two locations. At that point you can delete those files from your boot drive.
    Good luck.

  • How To Use Time Capsule As An External Hard Drive?

    I backup my computer onto the time capsule using time machine.
    After that I want to have more space on my computer (becasue my hard drive is almost full) (I still want to have my local snapshots and daily backups) so I want to delete some of my files but I still want them on my time capsule and I know after I back my computer the files will be deleted so I go to finder/my time capsule (under shared)/data/my macbook pro/ then I go to my destop and see; 1: time machine backups 2: data... I go to data and create a new file that will contain everything that I wanted deleted off my macbook so the when the next backup comes, I will still have (in data on time capsule) my time machine backups and my deleted things... will this work? why or why not? I heard people saying that you have to choose the time capsule between a external hard drive or with time machine... but will this attempt work with both>???

    It will work but shouldn't be done, as the Time Capsule's internal drive may fail at any time. Anything you want to keep shouldn't be on only one drive.

  • How to stop automatically backup on my external hard disk

    Hi,
    I have a macbook air. The first time I plug in my external hard drive (my external HD has many data from another Windows PC). Mac ask me whether I want to use this external HD for backup. Actually, I just wanna use it for data transfer but I accidentally say "yes". So, Mac delete all of my files from my external HD and start to create the backup file.
    My questions are
    1. How do I let Mac stop backup the file to my external HD
    2. I loose all data from my external HD. There are about 200 GB. I heard that there are some data recovery softwares. Can you recommend me whether there is a free software which will works on this issue?
    Please help me. Thank you very much.
    Pat

    Thank you so much BDAqua. I turn the Time machine off now.
    About the format type, Macbook automatically did it. I guess format type is Mac OS Extended. I tried to connect this external HD to Windows PC but the PC cannot recognize it. So, I cannot recover from PC where I have recovery software. Do you have any idea how to let PC recognize this external HD?
    I try to find the way but it seems I have to reconnect the HD back to Mac and try to recover on Mac. Is that only way? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks again.

  • IDEA: add a USB Standard-B connector to use any laptop as an external hard disk

    Hello Lenovo,
    Here is an idea for you:
    Add to your laptops a USB Standard-B connector with the following functionality:
    When the power of the laptop is OFF,
    you can connect the laptop to another laptop using this connector,
    and use the internal harddisk of the laptop as an external harddisk for the other laptop.
    Regards
    Bogdan

    From a normal external drive, no, it's not possible. The only device that would approximate this sort of functionality that I've heard of would be the Seagate GoFlex Satellite:

    Thanks in advance.

    Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
    You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
    To reprep the drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • How come i can't use my ipod mini as a hard drive

    I learnt how to use my ipod mini as a hard drive by watching the video on this web site. But after I check "enable disc use" and then exit out of itunes, nothing happens. it says in the video that after you exit out of itunes a box will appear showing your ipod and then you can begin adding files to your ipod, but this doesn't happen for me. can you tell me why?

    Go to My Computer and find your iPod, it would be under removable disks.

  • How can I get my LaCie external hard disk icon to reappear on my desktop?

    The iMac discussion section does not seem open to me asking this question. It's geared to the Intel Macs or other categories which do not allow for me to type in the following question:
    Bottom Line Question:
    How can I get my La Cie external hard disk icon to re-appear on my desktop?
    Background:
    I clicked Go > Computer
    At that point there the usual set of icons in the far left hand column, including one for my LaCie external hard disk. Near that icon there was a dark upturned truncated/shortened arrow. I absent-mindedly clicked on that dark arrow, and at that moment I could hear my LaCie external hard drive power down; I heard the sound of hardware powering down.
    The LaCie external hard drive is sitting right next to my iMac and its blue light is ON so I know that at very least I didn't turn it off.
    But where is it?
    And how can I get it to reappear on my desktop?
    Right now when I click onto Go > Computer, the LaCie external hard drive disk is NOT THERE.
    Thank you.
    Lorna in Southern California

    James, yes. I put the question in the iMac section and did get some solutions. My LaCie external hard drive is back now. I was aware that the arrow is connected to Eject actions, but was concerned when I went to Finder Preferences and selected the LaCie to show up on the Desktop, and its icon did not show up on the desktop. I hope you and your family are enjoying the weekend, James. But how could you not: You have little Kate there with you. Lorna in Southern California
