Seagate Back Up Plus Desk/ Why can't I back up to my mac?

I have a Seagate back up plus desk but when I try to back anything up to it the disk is locked.
I know I can reformat this disk but it may wipe anything that I have saved on my Windows machine
Thanks

Yes. You can "export" photos from iPhoto in any resolution you require including original and uncompressed.
There are several options to subsequently import them to your Windows PC but the options depend on the number and size of photos you need to import:
Email them, but all email servers have file attachment limitations so you may not be able to send more than a few at a time. Beware that AOL was known to detect and change photo resolutions while emailing them through AOL. I don't know if they still do that.
Copy them to a USB flash drive
Use Dropbox or other file hosting service - Dropbox has size limitations though.
Enable file sharing on your Mac and your PC and transfer them over a network
These are the first few off the top of my head.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To backup your iPhone, you can either use iCloud on your iPhone, or use iTunes on your computer.  Take a look at the support article below to learn more about backing up your iOS device.

    The second says iOS but it actually tells how to use FaceTime from a Mac in addition to iOS devices.

        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.

        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.

  • Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book?

    Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book Pro? I have gone to the App store to download the most current version of Numbers, but am told it is already installed. The version of Numbers on my computer says it is 2.3 (554).  ( in "about Numbers").  If it is already installed why can't I open a spreadsheet created long ago, but used recently without any problems until today. Very Frustrated.  I have Maverick on my 2012

    Your Mac is too old.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842 .
    Also, a Mac with 2 GB of memory does not run well on Mavericks.

  • Why can I just Install my system as Mac OSX Extended

    Hi,
    yes like my thread says, why can I just choose the option Mac OSX Extended (case-sensitive) when I want to reinstall Leopard? Or is the Option somewhere esle and I can't find it? Because when I want to choose, they are two options, both options are Mac Osx Extended, the other is with an extra option, but I forgot what it was.
    I don't want Mac OSX Extended because some games or Apps won't work with it like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare or Age of Empires 2.
    Thank you.

    If you mean "why can't I" ... it depends how you're trying to reinstall Leopard. You can only choose the format of the drive when you're doing a clean install (erase and install) which wipes your drive. If you're choosing Install (upgrade from an earlier version) or Archive and Install, you won't get the option to reformat the drive.
    If you are indeed trying to clean install, try running Disk Utility from the installation disk first (before you go through the install screens, go to the Utilities menu and run Disk Utility). From there, you can erase and reformat your drive to the format you need ... the options you will have are Mac OS Extended, with or without case-sensitivity and journalling. Hope one of those is the one you want - you didn't mention which you'd prefer.

  • HT201364 Why can't i download maverick when my mac comes with it preinstalled?

    I bought a new Mac Book Pro with OS X Maverick. Why can't i download the installer from App Store?

    Yes Mavericks can be downloaded but is it the *right* one is what Tuttle was getting at.  Don't take our world for it, take it from Apple:

    Notice that even the 13" and 15" Retina models have a different version number.

  • Why can't I receive gmail on my mac

    Why can't I receive anything on my gmail account on my mac, but I can on my phone which is Galaxys 5?

    You're using Apple's Mail as your email client, I'm assuming?
    Your settings should be:
    For your incoming IMAP server; Incoming server “map.gmail.com” with the default port of “993” and using SSL to connect.
    For your outgoing server; “smtp.gmail.com” with the post assignation of “465” using SSL to connect and using authentication with your user name and password.
    I know that these settings work in Apple’s Mail for me (although I don’t use it regularly - I prefer Microsoft’s Outlook).
    Check your settings again on your client and also on the gmail server.
    Good luck,

  • Why can't I install Mavericks on my mac pro?

    hi, I have macbook pro, intel core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz. why can't I update it to OS X Mavericks? everytime I click on install, it says "can not be installed on this computer". thanks!

    Check the model number.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    If your model number is less, you'd need a new computer.
