TC as external HD - HOW?

I have read many posts stating people are able to drag and drop files onto their TC (in the shared finder pane), thereby using the TC disk as an external HD. This doesn't work for me!!! When I drag a file or folder to the TC (after connecting to the disk, which is password protected), instead of a green "+" sign, I get the circle with "/" through it. Nothing copies. I also cannot create folders on the mounted TC disk.
What am I missing? I have checked all the settings in AP utility. I have a home network with AEBS, using the TC to extend the network. TC is the also the TM backup disk for an iMAc and MBP.
Help!

Not sure where to make the distinction. In disk utility, under "Disk" settings, the TC disk is pw protected. When I mount the disk from the computer, it asks for the PW before I can connect. Once connected, I am unable to drag or copy any files to the disk. I cannot even create a folder. The disk only contains a folder labeled "Time Capsule Disk" which contains the sparsebundle for the TM backup files.

  • My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

    You'll get better performance if you use a Firewire hard drive (especially if you buy a 7200 RPM drive). Firewire's IO speed is significantly faster than USB 2.  USB 2 has a theoretical max speed of 480 Mbps except that it has extremely high over-head.   The fastest speeds you can typically get are about 300 Mbps.   Firewire, on the other hand, has very little overhead.  The fastest speeds you can get are very nearly 800 Mbps.  You will typically be constrained by the maximum read/write speed of the drive, not the speed of the I/O on the Firewire bus.  Now if you had one of those nice shiny new Macs with the Thunderbolt I/O and a Thunderbolt drive (Light Peak) ... I think they alter space and time so that your data arrives before you know you want it. 
    Also... unless you want to buy a solid state drive (very expensive), try to keep your hard drives from becoming much more than about 60% full if you want great performance.  A nearly "full" hard drive is, on average, only about half as fast as the same hard drive when nearly empty.
    USB 2 will work perfectly fine... just not as fast.
    Also... it's much safer to move the entire Aperture library than to "relocate masters".  Your images must be managed.  You can Aperture manage them, or you can manage them.  But someone has to manage them.  If you "relocate" them so that they are no longer stored inside the Aperture library then you'll need to work out a system of how you decide to organize things and it's critically important that you don't start moving files around or deleting things without Aperture's knowledge.  If you do, you'll break the links to your masters and start having problems with missing masters.  If you have Aperture manage the library then you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.... it's safer.
    Do make backups (use the Aperture Vault or use some other backup program, but make sure you back up your work if you care about it.)  There are only two kinds of hard drives in the world:  (1) those that have failed and (2) those that are going to fail.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  Hard drives are cheap.  Backup software is built into Aperture and into your Mac.

  • External monitor: how to make toolbar visible on both

    I have an external monitor attached to my MacBook Pro and it is currently set up as the secondary monitor. Somehow I managed to get the resolution I wanted on both screens, i.e., greater on external without mirroring. But how do I view the toolbar/dock on both. My husband has done it on his, but doesn't know how he did. On the other hand, he must sleep his laptop to get the appropriate resolution on external.
    How to make both things happen?
    Thanks, Marion

    RETRACTION My husband was confused or I was. Double toolbar only with same resolution on both screens.
    Sorry.

  • External monitor, how to switch of internal monitor

    With a second, external monitor, how do I switch of or darken the internal iMac monitor? In particular together with a beamer the screen light is disturbing. (however it works seemless great with a 720p beamer!)

    Hello Joe.
    System Preferences : Displays: Brightness bar is at the bottom.
    This will allow you to darken the screen a bit, and is currently the only way I know that will allow you to do what you want.
    For faster access you can select the "show displays in menu bar", which will allow you to access the Displays system preferences pane from the menubar at all times.

    Hello
    Office 365 Shared External Contacts - how do I delegate Create/Update/Delete/Edit permissions to users who are not Admins? These Contacts are in the Global Address List. Not Outlook personal Contacts. O365 Small Business Premium

    Hi,
    To grant users delegate permissions, open Outlook, go to FILE -> Info -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access -> Add -> Search and add the user, click OK -> Edit the permission of the user. We can set different permissions in the dropbox
    of Contacts.
    There are four permisssions for Contacts:
    1. None
    2. Reviewer (can read items)
    3. Author (can read and create items)
    4. Editor (can read, create, and modify items)
    Select the permission that you want to grant the user.
    We can also modify the permission later in this section.

  • External drive, how to format and partition?

    Hey everybody!
    I'm about to buy an external drive for my mac. I am reasonably capable on a computer, but I've never done formatting or partitioning so I have two questions:
    1) I just want to check that I do not need to buy a mac-formatted drive. A little big of googling told me I could do the formatting myself with Disk Utility, just wanted to double check that that was true.
    2) Once I get my external drive, what I want to do is create two partitions within that drive, one for my Time Machine backup and one for random files and movies. I'm not sure how to do that (apparently I might need to pick different formats for each in Disk Utility?) so if anybody could help out that would be brilliant.
    Thanks
    (if that helps, I have a MacBook Pro with a 512GB hardrive, and I want to buy a 1TB external drive)

    Hi,
    Here is a link that will help you set up your external drive. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os- x/
    You won't need different formats for Time Machine backups and storage space partitions. However, given the size of your hard drive, 500 gb for Time Machine may not be enough. You could buy a separate one for Time Machine, budget permitting.
    Check the size of your startup disk, and if it is only 250 gb or less, then 500 gb for Time Machine may be OK, for a while. It will soon fill up, but the older backups will be erased.
    Regards.

    Hi drnels,
    Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.

  • External table.How to load numbers (decimal and scientific notation format)

    Hi all, I need to load inside an external table records that contain 7 fields. The last field is called AMOUNT and it's represented in some records with the decimal format, in others records with the scientific notation format as, for example, below:
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11200100;'60800;CYZ900;41380,77
    The External table's script is the following:
    CREATE TABLE HYP_DATA
    COUNTRY VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
    YEAR VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    PERIOD VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
    DEPT VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    ACTIVITY_LOC VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    AMOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    ( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY HYP_DATA_DIR
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    BADFILE 'HYP_BAD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'HYP_DISCARD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.dsc'
    LOGFILE 'HYP_LOG_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.log'
    SKIP 0
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ";"
    MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
    REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
    "COUNTRY" Char,
    "YEAR" Char,
    "PERIOD" Char,

    "AMOUNT" Char
    LOCATION (HYP_DATA_DIR:'Total.txt')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
    NOPARALLEL
    NOMONITORING;
    If, for the field AMOUNT I use the datatype VARCHAR (as above), the table is loaded but I have some records rejected, and all these records contain the last field AMOUNT with the scientific notation as:
    CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    CY001_STATU;2009;Feb;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    CY001_STATU;2009;Mar;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    CY001_STATU;2009;Dec;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
    All the others records with a decimal AMOUNT are loaded correctly.
    So, my problem is that I NEED to load all the records (with the decimal and the scientific notation format) together (without records rejected), but I don't know which datatype I have to use for the AMOUNT field....
    Anybody has any idea ???
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

  • Itunes music on external drive - how to get it back onto mac.

    hi - some time ago I transferred my growing itunes library to an external hard drive. The database remained on the mac. My mac was an old powerpc imac. So far no problem. Things moved on and I have just bought a new imac i3 etc. I would now like to transfer my itunes content to the new mac as it has loads of space. Alternatively I would be happy to keep the music on the external drive. I transferred the contents of the old mac to the new mac without any difficulty. The database on itunes arrived seemlessly on the new mac. I plugged in the external hard drive and nothing worked. I had forgotten that the old mac was power pc and the new mac was of course intel.
    My question is now, how do I get the library on the external drive back onto my old mac so that I can transfer it to the new mac? Any ideas. I am sure it is simple, but am not the best on computers. I can follow instructions.

    will make sure both machine are running the same version and try again
    again, the version shouldn't matter - the worst that could happen is that the newer version would need to update the library (which may take a while).
    if you still have access the the PPC, try copying its iTunes folder once more to the intel. you can use a thumb drive or connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    connect the external to the intel and wait for it to mount, then launch iTunes.
    what happens ?

  • MP3's on external drive-how to link to itunes

    Hi
    I have all my mp3 files on my external hard drive. How do I view them in itunes, so I can then sync them with my ipod. They used to be on my Mac, but re-installed the hard drive so lost the library files

    Use the Add to Library command (under the File menu). If you don't have the preference for the location of the iTunes Music folder set to the external and don't want the tracks moved to the internal drive, make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is not set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences.
    Regards.
