Installming on portable hard drive

According to the licensing agreement, I can also install the
Dreamweaver program on a portable storage drive -- which I have
done so that I can bring it to work and during my down time, work
on some of my projects.
However, when I plugged in my portable hard drive to my
computer at work, and then try to open the program, it won't open
-- it just sits there.
What is the problem -- what am I missing?
Thanks for help!

IF the license agreement allows this, and I'm not sure it
does, You will
need to "install" the program on both computers with your
portable drive
attached for the computers to have the registrations entries
that allow you
to run the program.

Backup I-Tunes Music to another portable hard drive?

I would like to backup my music to a portable hard drive instead of multiple DVDs within the I-Tunes program. Is there another way to do this?

You can't backup to an externa hard disk in iTunes, but there is nothing to stop you doing it in Windpws Explorer.
Assuming you have a default installation i.e music files in the iTunes Music folder, just close iTunes and copy the iTunes folder to the external disk.
It more convenient to use backsoftware which can backup changes, so after the intial backup, further backs are fast.
There is an article on backup here:

Use portable hard drive for Time Machine & other things

I recently purchased a 1 TB portable hard drive. I'd like to use it for my Time Machine backups, as well as moving my iTunes library there. Is this an easy change? I'm not super familiar with hard drive set ups. Will I have to create any partitions on the drive?
Thanks!

You're welcome. Make sure your drive is formated as Mac OS Extended (journaled), GUID partition table.
Here's a nice link to use for Time Machine information.
You can partition the drive if you want to organize your various backups. For example you might create a Time Machine partition and Other Files partition. When Time Machine is working, it creates a folder (Backups.backupdb) and places the Time Machine backups in that folder. The rest of the partition is open to add whatever you want. I have multiple partitions on my USB external drive with Time Machine backups separated from other backups.

How do I import music from a portable hard drive to my iTunes library?

I have a portable hard drive with music on it. I have been successful in Importing Files from that external drive to my iTunes library and can play the music on my PC. However, when I sync my iPhone in an attempt to load those new songs, those songs get the little !exclamation point! next to them and the message "Original File Cannot Be Found". What do I need to do to get these songs from the portable drive onto my iTunes library as permanently recognized files that will be sync'd to my iPhone. Any guidance is greatly appreciated....thanks

Connect the external drive and choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu, or open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences and tell it to copy music to the iTunes music folder for future imports.

Hi
I have just bought a Toshiba 1.5TB Canvio portable hard drive. It needs sto be formatted for Mac (OS10.5). I was told to go to disk utility, format using FAT32.
In disk utility - erase there is an option MS_DOS(FAT). Is this what I use?
Thanks

How do I delete files from a portable hard drive

I've been backing up my MacBook Pro on an external portable hard drive. I need to delete some but not all the files from that portable hard drive permanently. When I highlight them and click to move them to Trash I get a message telling me this cannot be done because they are Read Only files? How do I go about it. I am required by work to delete them off this hard drive. Do I have to reformat the hard drive? If so how do I go about it?

You can easily delete files from a Time Machine Backup:
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock.If the Time Machine icon isn’t in the Dock, look for Time Machine in the Applications folder.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through the backups Time Machine created.The windows behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to delete, select it, and then open the Action menu (looks like a gear) and choose Delete All Backups for the item.

Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
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.

New x1 carbon: portable hard drive not recognized

Hi everyone,
I found this issue really annoying, let me show you the detail
1.Both usb ports work well after I reset my computer.(USB flash drive or USB portable hard drive can be used at anytime)
2.After I installed all the drivers provided on the website, this issue came out
3.If you plug in the USB flash drive, both ports work well at anytime
4.If you plug in the USB hard drive, most of the time system cannot recognize it
5.If you plug in the USB hard drive right after restart, the system will recognize it, but after a while, it can't
6.One interesting fact: if you plug in a USB falsh drive first, then unplug and plug in the hard drive, the hard drive then can be recognized...And the other unused USB port will not recognize anything...
7.When the system cannot recognize my USB hard drive, you can hear the HDD is working but you cannot find this device in device manager, however, when you unplug it, there will be a warning tone just like you unplug any other devices.
8.I have to restart Windows and plug the hard drive immediately to use it, or after few minutes Windows will not recognize it unless you restart again, sometimes I have to restart more the 3 times.
P.S. Both the USB ports are fine, both my flash drive and hard drive are fine, this issue happen right after I installed all the drivers. The hard drive is 2.5'' so do not need extra power. My BIOS is the latest. And I trived set the "USB 3.0 only" mode in the BIOS, doesn't work
Thank you for your help!

WD Portable Hard Drive Won't Mount

This is the second time I have had a portable hard drive that suddenly quits mounting on the mac. First, a Lacie, and now a WD. After working with apple support and trying everything I could never get the problem fixed with the Lacie. Luckly, when I plugged it into a dell PC it came up and I was able to recover all data.
I then purchased the new drive, the WD, and copied the information over. Today, the WD quit working. It will not mount on either of my Macs, IMAC G5 and a powerbook G4. It also unfortunately will not show up on a PC either. It is a combo, firewire/usb drive. It does show up in Disk Utility but will not let you select "mount" only "info" and "eject".
Long story short....anyone have any ideas. I read some posts about data recovery with "data rescue" and other products. If I can't get it to mount, can I still get the data off?
Help!!

If software won't do it - you'll try it all if it's important enough - there's the costly way; disk recovery specialists.
It's a cruel lesson, but I'm sure you'll have a better back up system / procedure in the future. Ideally save to two disks and keep a third set of (important) back ups off site.

Moving iTunes library on to a portable hard drive and then my new laptop?

I am getting a new PC laptop and I want to move my entire iTunes library from my old PC to a portable hard drive and then eventually put it on my new laptop.
How do I do this without loosing all my play counts, play lists etc.?

Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

New computer, itunes backed up on portable hard drive, how to transfer?

I have just received a new laptop. I connected my portable hard drive on which i had backed up my itunes library from my old pc. On the new computer i used the "add folder to library" function in itunes. All the songs from my hard drive appear in the iTunes library on my new laptop, but when i try to play the songs, iTunes asks me to locate each individual song file on my portable hard drive. i have tried using the consolidate library function but this hasn't done anything. I don't want to have to "locate file" for each of the thousands of tracks i have stored on my portable hard drive.

if you want easy point and click stuff Home Sharing is pretty easy.

Can I back-up files to a portable hard drive and not use Time Machine?

I have a portable hard drive that I use for all of my Time Machine back-ups. I back-up the entire system every two or three weeks. I use the Time Machine software and it works quite well. I'm interested in backing up specific files (photos, documents, etc.) to a second portable drive every six months but I don't want to use the Time Machine software. Is there a simple way to hook up the portable drive (brand new Lacie 500 gb drive), open up the file on my desktop and drag the files to the new drive? Are there special steps I need to perform to avoid formatting the drive for Time Machine? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

You can do that, but you'll have to erase the drive, or delete the previous versions, each time. You might want to look at CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. They're most often used to make full bootable "clones" of your internal HD, but can be set to back up specific files and folders as well. CCC is donationware, so you can try it for a while before sending them some $$ so they can keep it up to date. SD has a free version, but I think you'll need the paid one (about $30, I think) to do this.

It would be best to format it for Macs, which is the same as Time Machine. What is the problem with that?

Trying to use portable hard drive on both my Mac and PC...

I just purchased a Toshiba Canvio Plus 1TB portable hard drive for my three Macs. Out of the box, I need to format the drive for Mac, which is fine, but I just found out that my fiance would also like to use it for her work computer, which is a PC running Windows XP. I need your help in finding out how to read and write to this portable drive from both a Mac and PC.
I thought about partitioning the drive but that wouldn't work because we want both systems to access the same data. After doing a few Google searches, I thought formatting the drive to a FAT32 would be the answer but I read that file sizes can't exceed 4GB. Since I purchased this specifically to complement my new HD camcorder, a 4GB file size limit will not work for us.
One last thing, since she has a company-issued PC, I'm pretty sure she's unable to install third party software and/or drivers. So please factor that in.
What would be our best solution? Thank you so much for all your help.

two possible ways:
(a) format the drive for Mac and install MacDrive on the winsloth machine(s)
(b) format the drive NTFS and install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver on the Mac(s)
