Transfer image files from Mac to external drive?
Can someone please help.? I'm a newbie and want to transfer image frile to an external drive...
Well, if you are not doing a complete back up of your system, you can simply drag images to an external drive - that will create a copy there and leave the original in place.

Transfer Image files from Mac Drive to external drive
I have written a Bug Report aboiut this problem.
Here is most important problem statement:
Photoshop CS 6 Beta BUG REPORT
Juan Zumbado – [email protected]
DESCRITPION
I was trying to transfer some files from the Desktop in my computer to an external USB drive.
RESULTS
After starting to transfer the files, the external hard drive I got the following panels:
The external hard drive was unmounted and disappeared from the Desptop., and the Disk Utility could not find the drive. The drive external power was also turned off. I had to re-power the external drive to mount it, and rebooted my computer.
This was the only way to have the external drive to be seen by the Disk Utility. The external drive is a Calvary CADA-SA2 (RAID1).
EXPECTED RESULTS
The second panel was expected when the hard drive was disconnected.
This application of the forum now does not let me to past item. I does not let me import anything from my computer. It sucks.
The compuyter i'm using is a Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.3. Similar problem occured with a Mac Book Pro laptop, using the same OS X.
I have several pages that include the SYSTEM INFO requested. That I can send you if you send me your email address. I can also then add my pdf file thatalso includes CRASH LOG, although I don't think is applicable. -
Transfer files from Mac formatted external drive to PC formatted drive
i need to transfer quicktime files (that were captured from video with FCP) to a PC formatted external drive (for editing them in after effects on a PC). the files can be transfered by burning them on a DVD, but that will take a very long time and waste many DVDs because i have 60 GB of material... can this be done (without having to purchase expensive software)?
thanx tom,
first of, i like that you made the link appear as one word. how did you do that? it's really cool!
i downloaded the program, but i'm not sure how to use it... reading the guide just made me more confused... if i understand correctly, it will automatically reformat ALL my files to NTFS-3G ones, which are not as stable... i'm a little scared to install it... though i may have totally misunderstood what it says. i see mostly black when i try to read these kind of things...
anyone out there have experience with this program? -
How to move files from mac to external drive
I need to free up storage on my macbook pro, I bought an external drive and have copied the files over. Then in finder after transfer I moved the files to trash off of my MacBook. However, when I check the storage it still shows the same amount of storage space taken up. What are the steps after transferring files to external drive to clear storage on harddisk?
Slightly surprised this has been asked several times before - "More Like This" on the right.

Problems with transfer of movies from Mac to external drive.
I want to transfer movies from my iTunes library to an external drive, in order to back them up for future use. I keep getting the message:
"The operation can’t be completed because the item “Cabaret.m4v” is in use."
How do I solve this problem?
KerneelsHave you restarted your computer?
By the way, "transferring" is not the same as "backing up". Backing up means more than one copy on separate drives. -
Lost id3 tags moving files from mac to external drive

My music hard drive died and I'm having to copy all my CDs to a new drive, I like to have all my tags set and ready for when I import songs into iTunes
Can anybody help??????Drag and drop should work with the movie files. Use these instructions for iPhoto library:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5571894
Consider making a new library with the events you want or move the library and then edit it leaving the events you want to remain.

Can I transfer the photos from mac to external hard disc which is used for pc too
can I transfer the photos from mac to external hard disc which is used for pc too
A FAT32 drive can't store files which are 4GB or larger. You need to reformat or repartition the drive to include an exFAT, NTFS, or Mac OS Extended volume, or use a different drive, or use a way other than an external drive to transfer it.

How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive
how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?
First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Connect via Firewire.
If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:

Transfer pdf file from mac to ipad
How to transfer pdf file from mac to ipad without using the internet and with the help of the cable?
You say without using the internet, then the only way left is to use a USB connection to itunes on your computer.
If you have a pdf reader app on the ipad (you must if you hope to read pdf files on the ipad), then go into the Apps tab in iTunes (for your device) and find the pdf reader app in the list. If there, then drag a pdf file from the mac to the panel in iTunes and then sync. Once on the ipad, you should be able to open the pdf reader app and access the pdf file. -

How can i transfer a movie from mac book pro to external hard drive? I have tried dragging but it is like my hard drive has a block on it? Please help

Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.
