Why some files copy me on hard disk with 0 bytes?

I try copy on hard disk video/photos and few files have 0 bytes? Why? On the Iphone 4S work, but not on the computer...

Have you tried changing the file format of the external HD?
Open Disk Utility and select the external HD's top icon (the one that comprises of letters and numbers and not the name you gave it). Click on the Partition tab. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

Deleteing files on an external hard disk with finder

When you delete a file on the Mac, you drag it to the trash can. What happens if you force empty trash after dragging the file on the external hard drive to the trash?

How to carbon copy an old hard disk with mountain lion on MBP-retina's SSD

Well the title says it all.
My idea is: Thunderbolt externally my old HDD and boot from it with target disk mode. Here's the first question: shall I first boot normally to initialize the OSX on the new MBPR or it doesn't matter since I am going to overwrite the whole SSD later?
So yeah, let's say i booted using thunderbolt on with my externalized old HDD. Can I use Carbon copy cloner to copy everything exactly to the MBP-retina's SSD?
Are there any risks in this procedure?
Is it possible even?
Any better and/or tested strategy to do the same thing?
There must be a better way to transfer not only your user files and apps (see migration assistant), but also all drivers, system mods, 3rd-party system preference panes, etc.
Thanks

This is the closest thing to my query that I have been able to find. I recently installed ML on my late 2011 MBP. I have tons of backups from Lion and I want to continue backing up ML. I have hesitated to do so as I fear that I will not be able to recover my data and settings in the event that I decide to downgrade to Lion. If I was to downgrade back doe Lion; could I use a ML TM backup to recover my files and settings?

Writing files in your local hard disk with SAP GUI for HTML

Hello SAP Experts
We have a problem with the SAP GUI for HTML, we create a program in ABAP that writes a file into your local machine, and it works just fine when we test it directly in the SAP GUI for Windows, but if we use the SAP GUI for HTML implementend in a SAP Portal 7.0 the same program doesn't run, it just freeze in the moment that the program must create the file, so my question is if it's possible to use that functionality in the GUI HTML, or do you have another suggestion???
Thanks a lot,
Ricardo Pineda

Thank you experts,
Your answers have been really helpfull, we have to try another method, by Studio Program or ABAP code, unfortunely we have to implement this in so many computers, so is impossible to configure one by one.
Thanks to both, and have a nice 2009!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

Is it possible to copy direct from hard disk to ipod ?

I'm having a hard time here having all my music on my laptop. So therefore I have an external hard disk with my music on. So now I would like it on my new 80 Gb ipod. Is there a way of copying it onto the ipod without having to import it into itunes libary ?
Thanx in advance if anyone can help me.
Windows XP

Yes. Put the disc in to your computer. After a while you should see a disc icon pop up in the bottom right corner of the Itunes window. Click. A popup should come up asking if you would like to import. Click yes if you want to download all songs. It will begin copying the checked songs into your library. If you don't, click no, unselect songs that you dont want, then click burn disc in the bottom right corner of the window. It will begin copying the checked items into your library and it will skip the unchecked songs. Movies, I have found, are different. I currently have a topic that is disscussing this problem so if you find out how to do movies, please try to reply to my disscussion.

Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when I am away? how?

Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can.
You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

Why some files from my Dropbox can't be opened?

I have this problem for some time now. I don't have these issues in my other devices, my MacBook Pro and my Samsung Galaxy Note 1.

> LR2.2 and ACR5.2 aren't out yet, though, so you will have to wait a bit.
Don't let ACR5.x availability confuse you. IE, you won't be able to use any version of ACR other than 3.x with CS2. You will have to use the Lr2.x update when it's available, or use the DNG 5.2 converter if CS2 ACR3.x is your preference.

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100?

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100 ?
The Hard disc in this model is same size as SSD 2.5" drive?

Hi
As mentioned above: the SATA controller is supported so you will need to use a SATA SSD drive usually it should not be a big problem to upgrade the notebook with an SSD drive in some cases it could be possible that the SSD firmware needs to be updated but this depends on the SSD drive manufacturer
However, the SSD drive is much faster than a common HDD. Therefore you should notice a faster performance

How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable. If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it. Time Machine can access it either way.

Will external hard disk with firewire help me to back up my laptop using time machine?

Hi,
I have macbook pro from 2011 with 750GB hard disk and I try to back up my hard disk using time machine for the first time.
I used time machine before in the previous OSX versions but I had to format the external disk.
I have an external Western Digital hard disk with 3TB space. It has only usb connection.
When I try to backup all my data (650GB) the speed is 25GB per day, so it will take me about a month to backup my disk.
It's my work laptop, so I can't leave it for backup for more than 2-3 days.
I read a lot of forums and tried to see if the small speed is only at the beginning of the back up.
I also tried all the tricks with turning off the spotlight indexing and so on.
Nothing really helps, so my question is:
Is it going to help, if I buy an external disk with a firewire connection? Will I be able to backup my data in 2-3 days?
Thanks,
Arshavski Alexander

A Firewire drive would only be about twice as fast as USB 2, so you're still looking at 15 days. Something isn't right. I'm usinge FW800, and my my 1TB backs up overnight.
Take a look here and see if anything helps: http://pondini.org/TM/D2.html

Experience Formatting Gen5 Ipod Hard Disk with Fat 32?

Does anyone have any experience formatting a Gen 5 60gb for Windows hard disk with Fat32? I was thinking of doing this and then restoring from itunes 7.5 to start all over. If so, how did you do it? Thanks in advance. Running Win XP w/SP2

i reformatted my daughter's 5th gen. 30Gig thru 'my computer' but itunes still wont recognize it so i can't use the RESTORE on it. anyway, plug the usb in your ipod and wait for 'my computer' to recognize it then right click on it and and choose format.
