Howdy pbfrost,
You should first check to make sure that your device is compatible with the iPad. See this article -
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories - Apple Support
According to the Apple's store requirements for the Seagate Backup, it needs to be used with a computer. See this page -
Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Slim for Mac Portable Hard Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
If you are trying to back up your iPad, you can use either iTunes while connected to a computer, or iCloud. See this article -

  • Moving library to external hard drive and get the error "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"

    Hello,
    I'm moving my library to an external hard drive.
    I've made sure to use the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' option when pointing to the new library location.
    I select 'File'->'Library'->'Organize Library', I select to 'Consolidate Files', click 'OK' and get ther error message "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
    I've read elsewhere that there may be a corrupted file that I need to sequester somehow and perhaps add it back however I'm not certain how I can locate that file because the status window doesn't indicate which file it's attempting to transfer when the error appears.
    Any tips?
    Thank you,
    Greg H
    iTunes 10.6.3

    OK I figured it out!
    It was a dodgy file....I sorted the file folders by date, and as it turned out within the "compilations" folder there was a CD where only about half the tracks seemed to have been copied over. Could not have identified this simply from the time indicated on the finder folder sort, because there were several CDs copied over in the that same minute.
    I went back to the original itunes folder, deleted all the files from that CD in itunes, then also deleted all those files from the original disk and the target disk.
    Tried the "consolidate library" again, and it completed nicely. 200megs of music and videos.
    Very happy to solve this problem after 3 weeks.

  • When i try to copy my iphoto library to my external hard drive i get this error message, The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

    iphoto 8.1.2
    os x 10.6.8
    I'm on a macbook 2ghz processor and 2gb memory
    my iphoto library is about 80gb
    I'm trying to back it up so that I can delete the photos and clear up space on my HD.
    I already made sure that my permissions on iphoto were set to read and write.

    You answered half of the questions - and WiFi is not a possible way to use an iPhoto library
    And critically
    What is the format of the EHD (it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) )
    And for using the iphoto library you can not access it wirelessly - it must be on a fast hard wired connection like ThunderBolt, FireWire or USB 2 or 3

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Can I use an External hard drive and my computers hard drive for apple tv

    Can I use an External hard drive and my computers hard drive for apple tv

    If you mean to hold iTunes content to stream then the answer is yes.  Your iTunes library  folder and the media usually live in the same location, but media can be in a different or several different locations.  The external drive wuld have to e connected and powered to stream media to AppleTV.

    That code is

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I can't burn CD or DVD.  I get a "medium write error."  I bought an external CD drive, and get the same message.

    I can't burn CDs or DVDs.  I get a "medium write error."  Bought a new external CD drive, and get the same message.

    What are you trying to achieve?  Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
    If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
    What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running?  Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin?  If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

    I am trying to upgrade to iTunes 11.4 on my Windows7 PC and get an error message that says " iTunes has an invalid signature.  It will not be installed"  How do I fix that?

    Hi curliejo, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In your situation I would recommend the steps in the following article for troubleshooting iTunes. It may be necessary to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in this situation. Be sure to remove all of the components with iTunes in the correct order as outlined in the article before installing fresh.

  • How to use an external hard drive and copy files to the disk for mac and windows??

    please tell me how to copy files to external hard disk and use it for both mac and windows. there is the fat32 formatting bt i dont wanna use formatting because i already have a lot of content on the exteral hard disk. thank you.

    It is simplest to have the HDD formatted to noe common to both Mac an PC.  ExFAT is one.  But to do that will erase all data on the HDD.
    If the HDD id formatted NTFS, Mac can read but not write to it.  The solution then is to use a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera which will overcome that obstacle.  These applications do have mixed reviews.
    Ciao.

  • External Hard Drives and Finder 10810 error code

    Whenever I plug a Hard drive my imac via any type of cable( usb, FW400, FW800) after a while it will freeze the finder up and I will have to relaunch the finder. Then all the icons on the desktop will disappear and then I will have to either unplug the hard drive( without properly ejecting it) or reboot the mac. Is it the mac software, or is it the hard drives, or a corrupt file on the hard drive. I have tried reformatting the hard drive and wiping my macbook clean. I am running the latest version of Snow leopard. I constantly update all my software. What can I do to fix this problem??

    does it happen with the same hard drive or different drives?

  • External Hard drive/Time Machine backup error message

    On a sidenote, I posted a question a week ago about what external hard drive would be compatible with my Macbook, and I so happened to get a WD My Passport Studio hard drive as an unsuspecting gift, so I didn't have to buy one.
    Anyways, I started the backup on this hard drive and I had an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." I searched this on the Apple Support Communities and found that I wasn't the only one who had this problem. So, I came upon one discussion that suggested downloading Time Machine Buddy (link:http://pondini.org/TM/A1.html) (link that prompted me to download: http://pondini.org/TM/C3.html). I downloaded it and found out that the error was occurring in my Library folder, specifically in the folder entitled "db" in the "Receipts" folder. There's one file in the "db" folder entitled "a.receiptdb" <----can someone please explain what the heck this is??? Lol. Anyways, I decided to exclude the whole "Receipts" folder from being backed up and now my external hard drive is backing up my files fine. My MAIN question is this: What is wrong with my receipts folder that is causing the error?
    P.S. here are the error messages in the Time Machine Buddy log:
    Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb to (null)
    Error: (-36) SrcErr:NO Copying /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb to /Volumes/My Passport Studio/Backups.backupdb/Josh Brew’s MacBook/2012-01-29-162450.inProgress/D9F83053-7FE1-4EBE-991A-F400C35D37CC/Macin tosh HD/Library/Receipts/db

    Copied 246 files (277.4 MB) from volume Macintosh HD.

    As you can see, iy is located in the "db" folder. I have no idea what's wrong. Thank you for your time! It is MUCH appreciated.

    The connection to 10.6.7 may just be a coincidence.  I had a similar problem with a disk and was about to throw it out but decided to try a different USB cable.  That fixed the problem and the drive is still in use.
    Try a new cable if you have not already done so.

  • Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

    I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
    Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
    Thanks

    Try reinstalling iTunes  http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.
