Transfer data from mac to external hard drive

I am new to macs and am a bit lost.
I have a made up external hard drive (internal hard drive in a case) - TOSHIBA MK8025GAS Media. It is connected to the mac via USB.
I have been using it to transfer data from my pc to mac. The mac sees it and i can copy things from the hard drive to mac without problems. What i cannot do is to transfer from the mac onto the hard drive.
I pulled up the mac info of the hard drive and its both writable and ejectable (Has two partitions). In the partitions the info states that the owners aren't enabled, cannot turn owners off and cannot be formatted. Also the S.M.A.R.T. status is not supported. Not usre what all this means!
Can anyone tell me how to set it up to be able to transfer files to the hard drive from the mac and if it is possible to still transfer from windows to the hard drive?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the info.
A friend also told me that i could erase the hard drive using the disk utility in ms dos format. I have tried this and then could also partition it afterwards.
At the moment this seems to be working in both Mac and PC.
One thing i have noticed is when i try to transfer disk images (over 4Gb), near the end i get an 'unexpected error occured' (error code 1309).
From the internet:
error -1309 fileBoundsErr: file's EOF offset mark or size is too big
Whatever this means?

HT201269 how do i get my pics off iPhone and transfer to my mac?

How do I get my pictures off my I phone to transfer to my mac? Please explain as simple as possible.

Assuming you are running Mavericks and the current version of iPhoto on your Mac:
Open iPhoto on your Mac. Click iPhoto > Preferences from iPhoto's menu. On the "General" tab, choose "Connecting camera opens ... iPhoto".
Then plug your iPhone into your Mac. iPhoto should open and you should see your iPhone there. You may have to click "Import ...".
This assumes that you are talking about photos you took on your iPhone (and are therefore in iPhone's Camera Roll).

Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

There are several different ways....
see > Mac Basics: File Sharing

But to be honest, I prefer just copying the Photos onto a Flash Drive or Hard Drive and import them into iPhoto on the other Mac.

As I'm satisfied with what I've got. I would like to avoid purchasing a new license for almost exactly the same thing.

Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

I have photos on my ipad i want to transfer to my mac. they are not in photo stream

I have photos on my ipad that i want to transfer to my mac. they are not in the photo stream folder what do you suggest?

Last night I found an app called photo transfer. It's free in the app store, and then you'll pay $1.99 to have it on your ipad, iphone, etc. The phototranferapp.com site tells you haw to use for android.
(We haven't used it yet, but I've read so much here about people worrying about losing their pictures (because they're concerned that the pictures will be removed from all devices if they just delete, this can even help them.
Please note we have not bought it yet. And please read the reviews in the itunes store before you decide. From what I read, a few are still concerned about the deleting issue, but transfering pictures out of your ipad to make space with this app will only transfer them, not delete them.
Hope this helps.

Mac Outlook 2011 crashes when trying to export; cannot transfer data to Mac Outlook 365

I downloaded the new Outlook 365 for the Mac, but I want to transfer all my Mac Outlook 2011 data into it. It doesn't seem to read that there is any Outlook 2011 data on my computer, so I attempted to go into Outlook 2011 and export all email data. Unfortunately
it crashes the program every time, without any message that a normal human being can interpret. So I'm stuck on Outlook 2011 right now.
I have tried rebuilding my identity from scratch in Outlook 2011 and it did nothing to solve the problem, except make my "Unread Emails" smartfolder stop working (it no longer refreshes, and shows both read and unread emails and no new emails).
So in trying to solve one problem I caused another.

Hi,
For Outlook for Mac for Office 365, we recommend you remove Outlook for Mac 2011 before installing it. If you installed it side-by-side with Outlook 2011, you can import data from it after the installation, but you should be aware of these
known issues in Outlook for Mac for Office 365 first.
For the detailed steps on how to import data from Outlook for Mac 2011, please take a look at this article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-sg/mac-outlook-help/import-items-into-outlook-for-mac-for-office-365-HA104375761.aspx

We would need some basic information first - what OS version is on this Mac now and which version did it come with originally?
If it has an OS version on it which was purchased at the app store, your friend needs to wipe the drive completely and reinstall the original system using the install disks it came with. You can only sell or give a Mac if it has the same system installed it originally came with; if it has been upgraded, the disk needs to be wiped or you will wind up with a pirated OS and will never be able to reinstall.
So, please furnish the information needed and inform your friend that s/he needs to wipe the drive and reinstall the original system.
